wantonness and then walk after their own ungodly lusts being gone from the grace of God which had appeared unto them which afterwards they turned their backs upon and fell from And the Grace of God which brings Salvation hath appeared unto all men yet all men are not taught by it my reason is not because they want a Teacher neither because Grace is not given to lead them and to uphold them in Righteousness but because they love it not or stand not in his Counsel and so falling from his Counsel fall into ungodliness And furthermore the Apostle saith as concerning Faith and a good Conscience they had put away and made shipwrack of it They could not put Faith away which had none neither make shipwrack of a Ship that never had one And furthermore Christ said unto his Disciples Except a branch abide in the Vine it cannot bring forth fruit no more can you except you abide in me So that it is evident that there is a possibility for a branch to be cut off from the Vine and to wither and also that there may be a coming unto Christ and a bringing forth fruit unto God and yet losing the Power of God the ●ight and life thereof by which they have ability to do the Will of God may wither and die and so become unprofitable Thou bidst me reade the Jesuites Writings if I had so much understanding Thou art more conversant with the Jesuites Writings than I desire to be it may be thou hast waded seven years in the old Popish Colledges in which there are great store of such and what thou hast done since the Light in thy Conscience will let thee see Yet I see before the Jesuites or their Writings and need not to search there in such blackness and darkness And then thou sayest Tell me who thou art like I say I deny them all in the root and in the ground but as for thee and the rest of the Parish-hirelings you are a stem sprung from the same root manifest clearly to thousands in England by very many of your practices which have been made evident in publick and so in that I shall forbear Thou sayest in thy rage I am given over to a mind without Judgment because I said unto thee thou knewest not what the Soul was because thou said and affirmed it was a created thing which thing I bid thee prove which thing thou did not then neither yet hast and yet most impudently hast set it down as a tenent of mine that I should affirm when only I desired thy proof but let the Serpent be blind for me I shall not feed that which is for destruction for thou art not one of those which watch for the Soul to see it brought out of the grave or out of death but for thy gain from thy quarter and for Iniquity Thou sayest Do not Souls go to Hell and can the Eternal Birth go thither I 'le ask thee a Question What was it that delivered David from the nethermost Hell that brought his soul out of the Pit and delivered his darling from the devouring Lion And what is it that tormenteth the wicked in Hell Is it not written If I go up into Heaven thou art there or if down into Hell thou art there Whither shall I go from thy Presence or whither shall I flee from thy Spirit Art thou fit to be a Leader of a Flock who art ignorant of what Salvation is preached to or what it is that wants Redemption I say thou preachest up the report of Christ without the knowledge of him and thou sayest Blessed are those that believe thy report unto whom the Arm of the Lord is revealed Many have heard thy Report and such Reporters as thou and yet know not Blessedness neither is the Arm of the Lord revealed to them or in them Thou preachest him in words but in works deniest him Thou sayest What gracious souls can but bleed to hear how the Offices of Christ are rejected and denied amongst us yea his Blood and Sufferings as to be onely report or signal thing Signal thing is thy own words and it is evident who deny the Office of Christ and who deny his Sufferings for we say He suffered once to take away sin but you say that the dearest Saint of God cannot be cleansed from sin while upon Earrh We say that the Blood of Christ cleanseth from all sin and there is no remission without blood and you say that none is to expect clensing from all sin in this life We say Christ is anointed of God to be a Leader to his People whose lips only are to preserve knowledge and the Law is to be received at his mouth who saith Learn of me and we say the Testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of Prophecy and that Christ is to rule as King and where sin rules he ruleth not where sin is acted and brought forth Christ is not King over them But you say the acts of sin or the reliques or remainders thereof must never be subdued while upon Earth or done away wholly We say according to Christ's own words Believe in the Light and this is an Ordinance of Christ but this you call delusion and would make it void So thou mayest take a view of your Doctrines and let thy heart bleed when thou comest to consider how thou rejectest the Office Ordinances Blood and Sufferings of Christ and in a word deniest the very End of his Coming which is to save his People from their sins But thou sayest the Children of the Promise can by Faith glory in him and rest in him for Eternal Life There is none knows Eternal Life but who have the living Faith through which it is revealed And the Life is the Light of men but you deny the Light and so deny the Foundation of Faith and the Author of it and live in a life which is carnal and take up a rest in these things which are invented in the Apostacy by corrupt-minded men which things are polluted which all them that come to know Eternal Life must rise out of for this is not their Rest but their Rest standeth in him who subdueth and putteth under that which hath resisted him in all that believe and then they come to know their Rest. Thou sayest further What is it a cankered way to preach Repentance and Faith and to mortifie the deeds of the body and to have their conversation in Heaven I say Nay But to make people believe that they have repented and have Faith and that they are cleansed and that they are mortified and that they have their conversation in Heaven when they are alive to Deceit and to Unrighteousness and to the Lusts of the flesh and converse with the worldly lusts which make war against the soul I call this Cankered Doctrine and it eats as a Canker where it is received in What art thou out of thy wits or hast thou lost thy understanding Doest thou look that any
