Vertues of the Spirit of God in Paul as Faith Love c. Could he part with these and count them loss for Christ when he had gained them by Christ And W. H. acknowledgeth That it is Regeneration that makes us meet for the Kingdom See how he is confounded 17. That that Righteousness of Faith by which we are justified is wholy without us in the person of Christ Quak. con Epist Contrary to Isa 26. 12. Rom. 8. 1 2 4. and 10 6 7. 18. Regeneration is to be distinguished from Justification as the Cause from the Effect Justification the cause of Regeneration Animad p. 27. Note As if men were justified in an Unregenerate state contrary to 1 Cor. 6. 11. Tit. 3. 5 6 7. 19. What he calls the personal Righteousness of Christ upon which only he placeth the Justification Imputation and merit of God's Kingdom he explains viz. That is only by the BLOOD-SHEDING of Jesus Christ Anim. p. 27. Note This SHEDING of Christ's Blood then has he preferred above the Vertues and work of his Spirit in us And whose act was the SHEDING of his Blood pray you Was it not his Persecutors Whereas it was by the eternal Spirit in him that HE OFFERED up himself a Lamb without spot to God So that his Offering up himself was Act of obedience proceeding from the inherent Righteousness and Holiness which dwelt in him 20. Of Satisfaction A Vengeance ready to punish Sin This is as dear to HIM i. e. God as his mercy IT being HIMSELF it must therefore be satisfied this way it is satisfied viz. THE FATHER POURED OUT ALL HIS WRATH UPON HIS SON JESUS CHRIST upon whom the Guilt of his People was Charged vid. Quaker Converted Epistle Dedicatory Note Oh! Wonderful yet un scriptural Satisfaction Thus W. Haworth has shewed his Respect to the Son of God thus highly to set the Father against the Son even as much as his Brother T. Powell in his affirming THAT JESUS CHRIST WAS THE GREATEST SINNER * Note his Blasphemy IN THE WORLD Whence it must needs follow THAT THE FATHER POURED OUT ALL HIS WRATH UPON HIS SON Do the Independant Congregations thus think to live at ease in their Sins and go Scot ●ree or accquite themselves from the Wrath of God If they do their Hope and expectations will fail them By these Doctrines before wherein William Haworth has shewn his Madness against the Light within and the Works wrought by and in the Spirit of God in the Saints and against the Son of God himself by rendring him the Subject of his Father's wrath the Reader may suppose what kind of stuff the rest of his work Scribling against us is We have here forborn to give a particular Answer to all these his Doctrines and Confusions or a Recitation of all his Lyes the matter being fully Answered elsewhere in other Books particularly by John Crook in his Treatise Entituled The Counterfeit Convert discovered in Reply to William Haworth's Book Stiled The Quaker Converted to Christianity Re-established which since W. H. hath given us new occasions and like a cracking Boaster now Dares us to Reply is intended to be made Publick so soon as may be with Conveniency If the Lord will We are Friends to all that desire to know the Truth as it is in Jesus Christ viz. Richard Thomas Edward Flumsted jun. H. Sweeting Abraham Rutt Richard Martin H. Stout Here followeth William Bates his Retraction and Account to stop William Haworth 's Clamours on that Occasion WHereas William Haworth has taken occasion to reproach the People of God called Quakers as being no Christians Seducers c. from some words which fell from my self in discourse with him which his Witnesses certifie were thus viz. That what Christ took of the Virgin had now no Being At four sundry times W. Haworth did set upon me with Accusations and Questions And the first time when he with several of his company came as appears to ensnare me with an Unlearned Question about the Body and Humane Nature of Christ Whether it be not the very same Flesh Blood and Bone in Heaven as he took of the Virgin I cannot deny but some such words past from me as before cited wherein I do acknowledge it was my Weakness and Oversight to give him any such Answer And that my Weakness herein may not be further charged upon the People called Quakers I do in the Sight of God affirm That I never was taught any such words among them nor do I know any such thing to be held by any of them as that What Christ took of the Virgin had now no Being I should rather have answered his Question with Silence for I did not understand his word Humane Nature However I hope I shall be more careful how and whom I answer for the time to come Yet nevertheless let it be noted That when I perceived W. H. had gotten Advantage at my words I presently confessed my Belief of the same Christ Jesus as still in Being several times desiring him not to write those words which had given him Advantage yet he told me But he would and still made use of the former Advantage against me ●●lling me I was a Mad Quaker he had had discourse with divers of the Quakers but never heard the like from any of them and withal That my Brethren would call me to an Account for what I had said In the Fear of the holy God I do declare this to be the very Truth of the Matter so near as possibly I can remember The 16 th of the 10 th Mon. 76. William Bates Now observe Reader how disingenuously this W. H. hath dealt in this matter Ist In accusing the Quakers on this Occasion with denying the same Man Christ and disowning Jesus of Nazareth to be the Messiah when he knew as appears the contrary by expecting they would call W. Bates to an Account for what he had said Oh Unconscionable and void of Common Honesty how like the Devil has he acted when he has ensnared a Man then insults over him and since that to accuse a People from that particular Occasion And 2dly To notifie the Man to the Nation as a Prophet of ours for these words which he desired him not to write down but thereby intimated a desire they should not be insisted upon and here he hath honestly retracted them and therein shewn more Respect to Truth then ever W. H. hath done or is like to do whilst he persists in his Lying Aspersions and Abuses against us For which the Righteous God will judge him and his Folly and Madness against God's holy Truth will the more be manifest to his Shame and Confusion if he persist therein THE TESTIMONY OF THE Hartford Quakers FOR THE Man Christ Jesus VINDICATED TO William Haworth's Accusation in his Title Page W.
