A30025	A short view of the Antinomian errours with a briefe and plaine answer to them, as the heads of them lye in order in the next page of this book : being a nest of cursed errors hatched by hereticks, fed and nourished by their proselites : being taken as they were flying abroad were brought as the eagle doth her young ones to see if they could endure to looke upon the sun-beams of truth with fixed eyes, the which they could not : were presently adjudged to be a bastard brood, and their necks chopt off, and their carkasses throwne to the dunghill.

grace of God we have had our conversation in the world 2 Cor. 1.12 I have lived in all good conscience before God to this day Act. 23.1 I say the truth in Christ I lye not my conscience beareth me witnes in the Holy-ghost Ro. 9.1 Thus you see that we must not content our selves with a bare testimony but we must labour to see the work wrought in us let but thy conscience bring thee to thy tryall and thou shalt easily see how it is with thee and doe not say that this is legall teaching lest thou be filled with fancies and no reall worke of grace be wrought as yet in thee and doe not thinke that the spirit of God will worke when thou liest still and remainest an empty trunke or a dead stone no thou must be made a living stone and must worke actively by the movings of the spirit of God in thee draw me and we will runne after thee Cant. 1.3 I shall runne the wayes of thy Commandements when thou doest inlarge my heart Psal 119.32 but this they condemne as legall teaching because spirituall sloathfulnesse hath so possessed them that they will make no other triall but rest upon a bare idle perswasion or testimony but whether it came from God or the divell they know not Well they say they are justified as soone as they were borne and then as righteous as Christ and this they know from a bare testimony now it followes say they that God cannot correct them neither doth he correct for their sinne but onely to exercise their faith I grant that God doth not punish his children in wrath and fury with plagues and vengeance but as gentle corrections from a loving father for their good yet still sinne was the cause of it saith David there is no soundnesse in my flesh nor rest in my bones because of my sinne Psal 38.3 4 5. why doth the living man complaine man is punished for his sinne Lam. 3.39 then art thou made whole sinne no more lest a worse thing come unto thee John 5.14 if David a man after Gods owne heart sinne scandalously the sword shall never depart from his house 2 Sam. 12 10. God is not partiall in his corrections though Coniah were as the signet upon my right hand yet would I plucks him thence Ier. 22.24 that soule that sinneth it shall dye Ezek. 18. all things come alike to all there is one event to the righteous and to the wicked Eccles 9.2 the wages of sinne is death Rom. 6.23 And every sicknesse or inward griese or sorrow or outward hurts or maladies all are but parts and parcels of this wages that we receive from the service of sinne and we receive this wages by parts and parsels daily for as Adam in the day that he sinned he began to dye he received some part of that wages of sinne death seized upon him and slew him by degrees and so we as soon as we were borne began to dye and all those afflictions and sorrowes that doe befall us doe but hallen us to our end but who is freed from these things what man is he that liveth and shall not see death Ps 89.41 our Prophets are dead and our fathers are fallen asleep wise men dye as well as fooles for all must dye and be as water spile upon the ground 2 Sam. 14.14 then God doth correct and that heavily for sinne yet his corrections are sweetned to his people the sting or bitternesse of them is tak●n out yet we shall not be freed from corrections nor death so long as we carry a body of sinne daily about with us death is passed upon all men for that all have sinned Rom. 5.12 but will they say that death is not a correction it is the king of terrours Iob 18.14 will they say death is but to exercise their faith but suppose one of them were shot with a bullet how would he exercise his faith or can they exercise their faith to prevent a sinne when they are corrected for their sinne already committed saith David before J was afflicted J went astray Psal 119.67 and Manasseh was converted in the furnace of afflictions which was the meanes to beget his faith and not to exercise it before he had it it is manifest enough that God doth correct his people for sinne if thy children forsake my law and if they breake my statutes then J will visit their transgressions with a rod and their iniquity with stripes neverthelesse J will not take away my mercy from him Psal 89.30 then let not the Antonomeans forsake Gods law lest they feele the weight of his correcting hand you have I knowne of all the families of the earth therefore I will punish you for your iniquities Amos 3.2 then let them take heed how they say when they sinne tush God sees not God is not like to themselves he will reprove them and set their sinnes in order before them consider th●● ye that forget God lest he teare you in ●●eces and there be none to deliver you Psal 50.21 God will correct Jacob in measure and will not leave him altogethen unpunished Jer. 10.24.20.11 for the transgression of Jacob is all this Micah 1.5 Zachariah and Elizabeth are as famous as any in all the Scripture for being both just and righteous before God and walking in all the Commandements and Ordinances of the Lord blamelesse yet saith the Angell to him thou shalt be dumb and not able to speake which was a sore correction because thou beleevest not my words Luke 1.6.20 and Jehosaohat was a good man yet if he helpe the ungodly and love them that hate the Lord there shall wrath from the Lord be upon him nevertheles there are good things found in him 2 Chr. 19.23 Miriam was a good woman yet if she speake against Moses the anger of the Lord is kindled and behold Miriam became leprous white as snow Num. 12.1.9 10. for whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth and scourgeth every sonne that he receiveth if ye endnre chastening whereof all are partakers then are ye sonnes and not bastards Heb. 12.6 7 8. Ephraim bemoaned himselfe thus Thou hast chast●sed me yet saith the Lord Ephraim is my deare sonne he is a pleasant child I doe earnestly remember him still my bowels are troubled for him I will surely have mercy on him saith the Lord Jer. 31.18.20 it is a signe of a humble heart when the Land is scourged for sinne to acknowledge our sinnes to be the cause of it as David did saying to the Lord I even I onely have sinned and done evill indeed but as for these sheep what have they done 1 Chron. 21.17 see 2 Sam. 24.10 Againe when Nathan came to him he said I have sinned against the Lord 2 Sam. 12.13 Againe it is the brand of a reprobate when God ceaseth to correct him for his sinne I will no more punish your daughters when they commit whoredome nor your spouses when they commit adultery Ephraim is

mans law but by Christ-alone so I say too but will it follow hence that because the law doth not justifie a sinner therefore it is void it is like as if a man should say that because he cannot heare with his eyes nor see with his eares therefore they are all void and of no use to him this is Antinomean divinity And so because the terrours and torments of the law are taken off to beleevers therefore the law is void to Antinomeans if this be so then if the sting of death be taken off to beleevers by their divinity they must not dye nor be ●courged for their sinne but as the sting of death and afflictions is taken away to beleevers and so they are sweetned unto them but not taken away so the ●urse or sting of the law is taken away yet the law is not made void and so ●ne of Luthers Schollers saith the Regenerate are not under the law in respect ●f justification accusation condemnation or coaction but he affirmeth a ●●reefold use of the law to the Regenerate First as a doctrine to direct in du●es Secondly as a glasse to see the defects of them Thirdly to restrain cor●●ption that is in them And Master Calvin in his second book of Institutions ●●ap 7. sect 12. speakes of the morall law as it concernes the faithfull how ●●ey should use it namely to know the will of God and by the fervent meditation of it they should be excited to the obedience of it and strengthened in their obedience of it and restrained from the offences of it in the 13. sect Libertines deny the law because it is the ministration of death but farre be it from us saith hee to hold such a prophane opinion he saith it hath an excellent use namely to be a perperuall rule of life and so in the 14. and 15. sect and in the third booke 19. chap. sect 2. he saith although Christians must lift themselves above the law and forget the righteousnesse of the law yet saith he we must not conclude the law as needlesse for it doth not cease to teach to exhort and to incite to good though before Gods Tribunall it hath no place in our consciences the law therefore by Master Calvins doctrine and determination abideth by Christ an unviolable doctrine I might mention many famous Divines that have confuted this cursed heresie in their several ages but I will only here mention one more to these two of famous memory in the Church of God because their bookes are all extant and easie to be had without much trouble to the Reader it is that judicious Mr. Perkins in his fruitfull writings appeareth every where as in his Golden-cheyn chap. 31. having set downe the use of the morall law in the unregenerate he concludeth that the use of the law in the Regenerate is farre otherwise for it guideth them to new obedience which may be acceptable to God through Christ and in his Commentary on the Gall. page 172. line 6. he sheweth that still the Lord repeateth his law in his old tenure First to teach us that the law is of a constant and unchangeable nature Secondly to advertise us of our weaknesse and to shew us what we cannot doe Thirdly to put us in mind still to humble us after we have begun by grace to obey the law because even then we came farre short in doing the things which the law requireth a● our hands and on page 119. line 35. he enquireth now faith is come what i● the guard whereby we are now kept from sinne he answereth the morall law which is as stakes and nailes fastened to range men in the compasse of thei● owne duties Eccles 12.11 and upon page 201. line ●4 he puts forth this question how farre the morall law is abrogated his answer is three wayes First in respect of justification Secondly of maladiction Thirdly in respect ●● rigour for them that are in Christ God accepteth their endeavours to obe● for obedience it selfe neverthelesse saith he the law as it is a rule of good li●● is unchangeable and admitteth no abrogation and Christ in this regard did 〈◊〉 his death establish it Rom. 3.31 and page 253. li. 35. he saith the law must 〈◊〉 considered two wayes First as a rule of life thus Angels are under the la● and Adam before his fall and the Saints in Heaven and none yeeld more ●●●jection to the law then they and this subjection is their liberty but wh●● did the Antinomeans learne this divinity that Christ came to abrogate ●●● law of Innoce●cy which Adam had before his fall or the eternall law of Sai●●● and Angels glorified also in his Treatise of conscience chap. 2. he saith 〈◊〉 morall law bindeth the consciences of all men and at all times to obedience Now good Reader get these bookes Calvins Institutions and Luther and Perkins on the Galla. and see these things that thou maiest be satisfied and shake off these seducers as Paul shook off the Viper Acts 28.5 lest thou perish eternally by them Well thus we have driven them from their strong holds the Scripture is against them and good men forsake them for they have made lyes their refuge and under falshood have they hid themselves but the haile shall sweep away their refuge of lyes and the waters shall overflow their hiding place Isa 28.15.17 But when thou art spoyled what wilt thou doe though thou cloathest thy selfe with Crimson though thou deckest thy selfe with Ornaments of gold though thou paintest thy face with painting in vaine shalt thou make thy selfe faire thy lovers will despise thee Jer. 4.30 Thou art called to give an account of thy Stewardship art thou resolved what to doe that when thou art put out thy Antinomean proselites may receive thee into their houses Luke 16.2.4 thou hast but one shift more that when thy Masters debters are called to deny half their debt to take their bill and presently discharge them of all their debt written in the old Testament and if this will not please them to receive thee when God and good men have cast thee off then take thy bill and write presently scriptum est any thing is scripture and of an equall vallue with it if it be but written in a play booke or ballad if this will not doe to be maintained privately amongst them tell them that thou knowest no word of God but Christ and this word is in thee and therefore thou needest no other helpe without thou art so full of light within these things comes next to be answered They deny utterly the authority of the old Testament yet this need not to trouble us when as it is so abundantly confirmed both by Christ and his Apostles in the new not onely by coating of it but giving it the name and title of Scripture Paul speaking of Genesis saith What saith the scripture Abraham beleeved God Rom. 4.3 and of Exodus The Scripture saith unto Pharaoh Rom. 9.17 and of Numbers
