faith but that faith alone justifies which gives to receive Christ and him to live in us and to dwell in us by that faith They utterly renounce the Doctrine of justification by the imputation of the righteousnesse of Christ or by the obedience he performed or sufferings he sustained or underwent in his own person without us Answer This is partly true and partly a lie we do indeed renounce the profession of justification by the imputation of Christ or his Righteousnesse performed without men by men while they are in the degenerated estate and unconverted and unreconciled and unborn again for by such profession of justification many deceive their souls but yet we say that Righteousnesse is imputed to us and reckoned unto us who believe in Christ and have received him even the obedience and sufferings that he performed without us is ours who have received him within us and witnesseth Christ in us and therefore we are not reprobates yet we do acknowledge he wrought perfect righteousnesse by obedience and suffering without us and that righteousnesse is ours by faith which faith hath received Christ to dwell in us and he and his righteousnesse his obedience and sufferings we enjoy in us in spirit if any can receive it let them for that he wrought Righteousnesse this is acknowledged but who hath a part in this righteousnesse that is disputable They wholly renounce the Doctrine of Election and Reprobation and it is one of the great reasons for which they decry the Ministers because they assert it they say Jacob and Esau are in a man and the good seed is Jacob which God electeth and the bad seed is Esau which he reprobates Answ. The Doctrine of Election and Reprobation we do own according to the Scriptures and therefore hast thou belied us and slandered us and art found reproveable and would incense mens minds against us for advantage to thy self but to some in that house we are better known then thou canst report of us and yet thou sayest we say that Iacob and Esau are in a man and the good seed God electeth and the bad he Reprobates and thou mayest here see thy confusion and thy ignorance uttered in the self same lines for thou sayest we renounce the Doctrine of Election and Reprobation and yet sayest we say the good seed God electeth and the bad seed he reprobateth and this shewes what spirit thou art of and how that the spirit of unrighteousnesse doth possess thee and leads thee to speak without understanding and we further say man being degenerated became reprobated and cast out and all by nature are the children of wrath and the children of wrath are all in the reprobate state and none are elected but who are elected in Christ the seed of David and so in the first Adam all are reprobated and all that are in the second Adam are elected and the Election and Reprobation stands not in the persons but in the seeds and yet the persons are blessed or cursed in the love or in the displeasure of God according as the seed of God or the seed of the Serpent lives and dwels and bears rule in the persons and we do indeed decry and deny you the professed Ministers upon many accounts more then one and we have already and may in time to come shew sufficient reasons against you both in Doctrine and practise and otherwayes that you are not the Ministers of Christ but the Ministers of Satan generally That Iesus Christ as he is the seed of the woman and the seed of Abraham is in every one and that a measure or part of the substance that was conceived in the womb of the Virgin Mary is in every one Answ. Jesus Christ he is the seed of the woman and the seed of Abraham according to the flesh and after the spirit the Son of the living God and this Christ that was and is and is to come who was dead but is alive and lives for evermore the alone Saviour of the world he hath given a measure of Light and Life unto every man and there is a Light from him that shines in the hearts of all men shining in darknesse the Light shines but the darknesse comprehends it not and this was Iohns Testimony and is our Testimony that Christ enlighteneth every man or all mankind that cometh into the World for in him was life and the Life was the Light of men as the scripture saith and the Apostle Preached the Light that shined in peoples hearts and it was that Light that gave them the Light of the knowledge of the Glory of God but thou hast discovered thy self to be a stumbler at the stumbling-stone and hath taken offence at the light like the Pharisees who professed the scriptures as the Priests of England do but were ignorant of the Life the end of the words and knew not Christ the substance but the stone at which you stumble will break you to pieces and grind you to powder even Christ the Light of the World that lighteth every man that cometh into the World That the soul is a part or measure of God as they speak and not a part of man but uncreated And so is that light which is in every one Ans. The soul is immortal and God is immortal for God breathed into man the breath of life and he became a living soul as saith the Scripture and the soul is related to God for what a man works against God it is against his own soul for all sin is against God and against a mans own soul And God who hath all souls in his hand who is the Creator and gave life into the soul that is immortal and can never die Though death hath passed over it And hath reigned over all from Adam till Moses And Christ is the light of the world that gives life unto the soul And he raiseth up the soul out of death and misery and brings the soul to rejoyce in God its Saviour And Christ is the souls Bishop its Pastor and Feeder and who knowes Christ knowes him that was before the world was made and sees to the beginning and to the ending and his soul rests in God that is over all That the light in the heathens who never heard that Iesus Christ died at Ierusalem is the same for the quality of it with that which is in the most godly person onely there is a difference in the quantitie And men are reconciled to God by following of it This light they say is the sure word of prophesie and that it is sufficient to lead out of all sin unto God An. The Testimony of Iohn is that Christ is the light that lighteth every man that cometh into the world And if every man then the heathen who hath not the relation of Christs life and his death at Jerusalem yea and it is the same light that is in the heathen the same in nature and kind as it
