A70157	A just defence and vindication of Gospel ministers and Gospel ordinances against the Quakers many false accusations, slanders and reproaches. In ansvver to John Horwood his letter, and E.B. his book, called, A just and lawful tryal of the ministers and teachers of this age, and several others. Proving the ministers calling and maintenance just and lawful, and the doctrine of perfection by free justification, preached by them, agreeable to the scriptures. VVith the Quakers objections answered. And the Quakers perfection by hearkning to, and obeying a light within them, proved contrary to the scriptures. And their practices in ten particulars proved contrary to the commands and examples of Christ and his apostles. By a lover of gospel ministers and gospel ordinances.	Gaskin, John, fl. 1660.	1660 (1660)	Wing G290; ESTC R223664	109,852	161

any_o conference_n with_o the_o papist_n armenian_n pelagian_n and_o familist_n that_o they_o all_o hold_v plead_v and_o maintain_v that_o there_o be_v a_o light_n in_o every_o man_n conscience_n which_o if_o he_o improve_v and_o husband_n well_o they_o may_v attain_v salvation_n by_o which_o you_o may_v see_v how_o much_o you_o be_v delude_v and_o deceive_v that_o think_v yourselves_o run_v so_o far_o from_o the_o papist_n when_o you_o be_v run_v to_o their_o chief_a principle_n of_o religion_n i_o do_v not_o much_o wonder_n at_o your_o change_n see_v you_o be_v fall_v from_o this_o article_n of_o justification_n by_o faith_n alone_o for_o as_o luther_n well_o observe_v and_o foretell_v 88_o wherefore_o say_v he_o i_o say_v as_o i_o have_v oftentimes_o say_v that_o there_o be_v no_o remedy_n against_o sect_n and_o error_n or_o power_n to_o resist_v they_o but_o this_o only_a article_n of_o christian_a righteousness_n if_o we_o lose_v this_o article_n it_o be_v impossible_a for_o we_o to_o withstand_v any_o error_n or_o sect_n as_o we_o may_v see_v at_o this_o day_n in_o the_o fantastical_a spirit_n the_o anabaptist_n and_o such_o like_a who_o be_v fall_v away_o from_o this_o article_n of_o justification_n will_v never_o cease_v to_o fall_v err_v and_o seduce_v other_o until_o they_o come_v to_o the_o fullness_n of_o all_o iniquity_n true_a mind_v there_o be_v no_o

yet_o if_o he_o hold_v fast_o the_o foundation_n he_o shall_v be_v safe_a and_o this_o doctrine_n of_o christian_a righteousness_n or_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n alone_o apprehend_v by_o

endeavour_v to_o answer_v you_o and_o the_o papist_n objection_n concern_v this_o doctrine_n preach_v and_o maintain_v by_o our_o minister_n that_o a_o christian_n be_v make_v perfect_a by_o what_o christ_n alone_o do_v and_o suffer_v and_o not_o by_o any_o thing_n do_v in_o we_o or_o by_o we_o now_o you_o quaker_n and_o the_o papist_n do_v object_n against_o this_o doctrine_n that_o it_o be_v a_o doctrine_n that_o give_v people_n liberty_n to_o sin_n and_o to_o neglect_v good_a work_n for_o say_v you_o if_o we_o lie_v all_o our_o sin_n upon_o christ_n than_o we_o make_v he_o a_o packhorse_n for_o to_o bear_v our_o sin_n and_o it_o matter_n not_o how_o we_o live_v in_o sin_n christ_n have_v satisfy_v for_o they_o for_o answer_v to_o this_o i_o say_v that_o this_o doctrine_n be_v a_o doctrine_n of_o christian_a liberty_n and_o not_o a_o doctrine_n of_o carnal_a liberty_n but_o such_o who_o have_v carnal_a heart_n and_o never_o feel_v the_o life_n and_o power_n of_o

the_o abuse_n of_o any_o thing_n do_v not_o take_v away_o the_o lawful_a use_n of_o it_o in_o the_o apostle_n paul_n day_n there_o be_v such_o for_o the_o apostle_n have_v preach_v the_o doctrine_n of_o free_a grace_n 20._o that_o where_o sin_n abound_v 15._o grace_n do_v much_o more_o abound_v what_o then_o shall_v we_o say_v shall_v we_o continue_v in_o sin_n 7._o that_o grace_n may_v abound_v

church_n of_o corinth_n and_o galatia_n and_o philippe_n that_o walk_v disorderly_a but_o yet_o the_o apostle_n preach_v and_o write_v this_o doctrine_n of_o free_a justification_n we_o know_v in_o civil_a thing_n how_o apt_a man_n be_v to_o abuse_v they_o as_o wine_n and_o strong_a beer_n to_o drunkenness_n good_a meat_n to_o gluttony_n shall_v we_o say_v therefore_o they_o be_v not_o good_a nor_o lawful_a to_o be_v use_v and_o we_o know_v a_o sick_a stomach_n can_v well_o digest_v the_o best_a meat_n and_o shall_v we_o therefore_o say_v the_o meat_n be_v not_o good_a do_v you_o not_o know_v that_o christ_n say_v that_o many_o be_v call_v but_o few_o choose_v many_o call_v to_o the_o external_a profession_n of_o the_o gospel_n but_o few_o that_o live_v answerable_a thereunto_o but_o the_o gospel_n be_v still_o the_o same_o and_o to_o be_v preach_v as_o the_o apostle_n say_v i_o be_o call_v to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n and_o woe_n be_v i_o if_o i_o preach_v not_o the_o gospel_n and_o the_o chief_a cause_n why_o so_o many_o walk_n disorderly_o be_v because_o people_n do_v not_o believe_v this_o doctrine_n of_o free_a grace_n for_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n which_o have_v appear_v and_o bring_v salvation_n 12._o teach_v we_o that_o deny_v ungodliness_n and_o worldly_a lust_n we_o shall_v live_v sober_o righteous_o and_o godly_a in_o this_o present_a world_n the_o apprehend_n of_o the_o love_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n be_v that_o which_o draw_v the_o heart_n to_o love_n god_n and_o love_v our_o brethren_n as_o it_o be_v say_v of_o mary_n magdelen_n 47._o

by_o b●●ng_v ingraff_v into_o christ_n by_o faith_n and_o all_o the_o work_v that_o man_n do_v before_o faith_n though_o never_o so_o good_a for_o the_o matter_n and_o moral_o good_a in_o themselves_o yet_o be_v they_o but_o beautiful_a abomination_n in_o god_n sight_n the_o person_n be_v not_o justify_v the_o work_n that_o a_o man_n do_v though_o good_a in_o themselves_o do_v not_o make_v any_o man_n good_a no_o more_o than_o the_o good_a fruit_n on_o a_o tree_n make_v the_o tree_n good_a but_o because_o the_o tree_n be_v good_a therefore_o the_o fruit_n be_v good_a but_o you_o quaker_n and_o papist_n say_v than_o it_o matter_n not_o whether_o a_o man_n do_v any_o good_a work_n see_v they_o make_v he_o not_o good_a by_o which_o you_o manifest_v your_o gross_a ignorance_n of_o the_o truth_n for_o the_o scripture_n do_v teach_v that_o good_a work_n do_v declare_v and_o manifest_v the_o truth_n of_o our_o faith_n that_o it_o be_v not_o a_o dead_a but_o a_o live_a faith_n as_o the_o fruit_n which_o the_o tree_n bear_v do_v show_v and_o manifest_v what_o the_o tree_n be_v if_o the_o fruit_n be_v good_a then_o be_v the_o tree_n good_a if_o the_o tree_n bring_v forth_o no_o fruit_n
