Occasioned by the questioning of his doctrin, and his undertaking to defend it; together with his argument, by which he pretended to do it. As also his reasons of deserting his undertaking; with an answer to his said argument and reasons; together with some queries touching the point in question; with the manner of his being publiquely opposed, and the deportment of himself and his people thereupon: / all faithfully laid down by R.T.

person_n that_o have_v have_v the_o savour_n of_o christ_n and_o yet_o have_v lose_v it_o we_o shall_v begin_v with_o hymeneus_n philetus_n and_o alexander_n where_o paul_n exhort_v timothy_n to_o keep_v that_o as_o other_o have_v lose_v to_o wit_n faith_n and_o a_o good_a conscience_n of_o who_o be_v hymeneus_n and_o phyletus_n and_o so_o 2_o tim._n 2._o 17._o and_o their_o word_n will_v eat_v

overthrow_v the_o faith_n of_o some_o man_n from_o the_o former_a of_o these_o two_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o hymenius_fw-la &_o alexander_n have_v faith_n and_o that_o save_v also_o or_o such_o a_o faith_n as_o will_v or_o do_v capasitate_n they_o for_o salvation_n the_o reason_n be_v the_o apostle_n exhort_v he_o to_o hold_v the_o same_o and_o no_o other_o than_o that_o which_o they_o have_v put_v away_o and_o then_o if_o that_o they_o have_v be_v not_o sound_a the_o apostle_n exhort_v they_o to_o hold_v or_o keep_v that_o which_o will_v stand_v they_o in_o no_o stead_n no_o it_o will_v then_o have_v be_v such_o a_o faith_n as_o will_v have_v be_v a_o snare_n unto_o they_o second_o because_o it_o be_v accompany_v with_o a_o good_a conscience_n a_o man_n can_v never_o be_v say_v to_o have_v a_o good_a conscience_n unless_o he_o have_v save_v faith_n because_o so_o long_o as_o he_o be_v in_o a_o state_n of_o unregeneracie_n and_o unbelief_n his_o conscience_n stand_v accuse_v of_o he_o and_o so_o long_v not_o good_a a_o good_a conscience_n be_v more_o clear_o amplify_v in_o the_o five_o verse_n of_o this_o chapter_n the_o end_n of_o the_o command_n be_v charity_n out_o of_o a_o pure_a heart_n and_o a_o good_a conscience_n and_o faith_n unfeigned_a and_o he_o that_o have_v a_o good_a conscience_n must_v needs_o have_v a_o pure_a heart_n they_o be_v so_o link_v together_o and_o all_o be_v the_o end_n of_o the_o law_n that_o it_o be_v impossible_a to_o have_v the_o one_o and_o want_v the_o other_o so_o the_o apostle_n peter_n 1_o pet._n 3._o 15_o 16._o sanctify_v the_o

neither_o be_v that_o much_o considerable_a which_o some_o will_v create_v to_o excuse_v themselves_o in_o conceit_v the_o contrary_a to_o wit_n that_o by_o faith_n here_o be_v mean_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n but_o whether_o it_o be_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n or_o the_o act_n of_o faith_n it_o will_v amount_v to_o one_o and_o the_o same_o if_o a_o man_n do_v receive_v or_o hold_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n with_o a_o good_a conscience_n it_o must_v be_v with_o a_o pure_a heart_n and_o neither_o of_o these_o can_v be_v without_o faith_n which_o be_v the_o groundwork_n of_o all_o so_o they_o that_o notionize_v this_o to_o relieve_v they_o will_v take_v darkness_n for_o a_o vision_n but_o if_o it_o be_v say_v the_o apostle_n can_v not_o tell_v what_o man_n be_v they_o know_v not_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n and_o so_o the_o man_n that_o make_v shipwreck_n of_o faith_n may_v not_o have_v such_o a_o good_a conscience_n as_o

be_v plead_v for_o but_o let_v those_o man_n of_o this_o persuasion_n consider_v whether_o the_o apostle_n speak_v these_o word_n as_o a_o man_n or_o whether_o it_o be_v not_o god_n in_o the_o man_n if_o the_o apostle_n have_v no_o better_a insight_n in_o the_o business_n we_o have_v little_a ground_n to_o believe_v that_o the_o hold_v that_o he_o exhort_v we_o to_o will_v do_v we_o any_o great_a good_a in_o case_n we_o shall_v hold_v it_o and_o so_o they_o will_v make_v god_n speak_v like_o themselves_o there_o be_v nothing_o can_v rational_o be_v conclude_v by_o any_o to_o refute_v this_o sense_n contend_v for_o but_o the_o consideration_n of_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o good_a conscience_n will_v repeal_v it_o therefore_o very_o evident_a it_o be_v that_o those_o man_n that_o have_v faith_n and_o a_o good_a conscience_n have_v the_o savour_n of_o christ_n and_o that_o in_o a_o eminent_a manner_n we_o shall_v mention_v two_o more_o instance_n we_o shall_v brief_o run_v over_o they_o that_o be_v david_n and_o his_o son_n solomon_n as_o for_o david_n i_o think_v it_o be_v no_o man_n question_n whether_o he_o have_v not_o the_o savour_n of_o christ_n and_o be_v a_o true_a and_o real_a saint_n before_o the_o commit_n of_o those_o two_o horrid_a sin_n of_o murder_n and_o adultery_n for_o he_o have_v this_o signal_n testimony_n of_o be_v a_o man_n after_o god_n own_o heart_n which_o be_v give_v unto_o he_o by_o god_n himself_o before_o he_o have_v commit_v those_o two_o sin_n as_o appear_v 1_o king_n 14._o 8._o with_o act._n 13._o 22._o and_o psal_n 89._o 20._o this_o i_o think_v no_o man_n deni_v but_o the_o quaere_fw-la be_v whether_o he_o remain_v true_o godly_a under_o the_o guilt_n since_o from_o the_o time_n of_o his_o commit_n of_o they_o to_o the_o time_n of_o his_o repentance_n they_o do_v not_o stick_v to_o affirm_v it_o but_o i_o must_v of_o necessity_n deny_v it_o and_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o he_o that_o commit_v murder_n and_o adultery_n against_o the_o light_n of_o conscience_n and_o with_o much_o deliberation_n and_o remain_v under_o the_o guilt_n of_o these_o sin_n without_o repentance_n be_v not_o a_o man_n that_o be_v true_o godly_a or_o that_o have_v the_o savour_n of_o christ_n in_o he_o but_o david_n be_v such_o a_o one_o ergo_fw-la as_o for_o the_o first_o proposition_n it_o do_v not_o need_v much_o proof_n for_o he_o that_o shall_v act_v and_o without_o remorse_n of_o conscience_n commit_v that_o as_o be_v express_o against_o the_o command_n of_o god_n can_v be_v a_o man_n in_o the_o do_n of_o that_o in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n or_o love_n of_o god_n because_o of_o their_o want_n of_o obey_v of_o god_n but_o we_o shall_v a_o little_a illustrate_v it_o with_o a_o second_o thus_o he_o that_o be_v true_o godly_a and_o have_v the_o savour_n of_o christ_n in_o he_o have_v by_o the_o gracious_a promise_n of_o god_n a_o right_n unto_o the_o kingdom_n of_o glory_n this_o i_o think_v be_v not_o deny_v by_o any_o therefore_o he_o that_o commit_v murder_n and_o adultery_n have_v no_o right_a to_o the_o kingdom_n of_o glory_n during_o his_o impenitency_n under_o the_o guilt_n of_o these_o sin_n ergo_fw-la for_o the_o confirmation_n of_o this_o we_o shall_v give_v a_o express_a text_n of_o scripture_n 1_o cor._n 6._o 9_o 10._o no_o whoremonger_n and_o mutherer_n nor_o adulterer_n etc._n etc._n shall_v enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n and_o they_o that_o do_v such_o thing_n shall_v not_o enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n gal._n 5._o 21._o ephes_n 5._o 5_o 6._o so_o that_o david_n while_o he_o remain_v impenitent_a under_o the_o commit_n of_o these_o two_o abomination_n be_v a_o subject_n of_o death_n on_o who_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n shall_v abide_v for_o

man_n only_o and_o the_o scripture_n so_o clear_a against_o it_o i_o shall_v not_o trouble_v the_o reader_n with_o they_o another_o instance_n we_o have_v in_o solomon_n also_o that_o he_o before_o his_o fall_n in_o adultery_n and_o other_o miscarriage_n be_v a_o true_a believer_n and_o one_o that_o have_v the_o savour_n of_o christ_n be_v manifest_a and_o be_v not_o as_o i_o know_v deny_v by_o
