them to go with boldness to the Throne of Grace For we have not an High Priest that cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities but was in all things tempted like as we are yet without sin Let us therefore come boldly unto the Throne of Grace that we may obtain Mercy and find Grace to help in time of need Luther hath often this Direction to praying ones that are at a loss how to go to God Go to the Man Christ and Pray to the Man Christ And without doubt the Man Christ may be and should be and is worshiped in conjunction with the Deity though our Worship is terminated upon the Deity Use 1. If Christ is now a Man in Heaven O let our Minds and Affections be raised thither from off the World and all things therein Col. 3.1 If you then be risen with Christ in Regeneration as Members of the Head seek those things that are above Seeking denotes intensness and vehemency of Mind where Christ sitteth on the Right-hand of God Set your Affections on things Above not on things on the Earth By things on the Earth he chiefly means Ceremonies Traditions of Men Works of the Law which he is pleading against in the point of Justification You may put in the Light within or any other thing that any other Religion pleads for They are all but things below on the Earth but Christ is not there He is Risen and gone into Heaven and is at the Right-hand of God in Power and Glory interceding Our Hearts and Affections should be there all our happiness being treasured up in him and while we are here we should be as Pilgrims and Strangers longing to be with him and till that time come we should be conforming our selves to him Luke 12.34 For where your Treasure is there will your hearts be also Now Christ is our Treasure in the Heavens infinitely full of Spiritual Riches God is in Christ in Heaven the fullness of the God-head dwells in him Besides this as he is Man the sweetest man that ever was full of Grace and Truth O let us love him adore him trust in him long to be with him for he is worthy Let our mindes be taken off these poor low nothings not so much looking after them and seting our affections on them Christ is the best thing of all other good things are for his sake Paul therefore said He desired to depart and to be with Christ which is best To see him face to face to behold his Glory What on Earth comparable to this let us look and pray for power and virtue from him to raise our minds and affections up unto him Use 2. See what an Error of the Wicked it is to deny this Truth in which is wrapt up so much of the Comfort of the Saints It is in a manner denying the whole Christan Religion How can the Quakers be Christians that have said in my hearing That what was taken of the Virgin and that was the Body had now no more being 2 Pet. 3.17 18. Te therefore beloved seeing ye know these things before beware lest ye also being led away with the Error of the Wicked fall from your own stedfastness But grow in Grace and in the Knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ To him be Glory both now and for ever Amen Postscript THere is a Pamphlet printed by Christopher Taylor a Quaker Entituled A true and faithful Witness to the Light At the end whereof there is a Post script charging me with base Lies and Reflections the weakness and impertinency whereof is a sufficient Confutation of it self to any judicious Reader and I have been counselled by my Friends to slight it by silence as that which hath nothing in it that is worthy of Animadversion But not to gratifie that boasting humour that this Man C. T. and all others of them are highly prone to when any thing of theirs lyeth at our door unanswered though to this day my whole Book is at their door unanswered I thought good to give this brief Reply There are Five Principal things to wave all the bitter Invectives against me that are mentioned 1. That I charged Christopher Taylor that he said That the Doctrine of Election was a Devilish Damnable and Blasphemous Doctrine This be this a notorious Lie Answ I offer at any time two substantial Witnesses to prove that he said it if he dares come to the tryal and that no such thing was affirmed by me viz. That God ordained men to be wicked before they were born God ordaineth to effect nothing but what is good He willeth to permit evil by denying Grace which would prevent it yet this evil is from a mans self and God is not the author of it because he doth not effect it How can God be the Efficient Cause of that which is a privation Can the Sun be the cause of Darkness yet Darkness is the Consequent of the Suns with drawing If Christopher Taylor pleaseth I will enter the Lists with him to make good this Assertion That there is no Evil in the World but the Lord willeth to permit it The second thing is viz. Christopher T. with others contended against Original sin To which he saith That the Devil is the Original of sin in Mankind and that be understands not how Infants can be guilty of sin in the Womb. Nay he saith That it is a cruel unnatural Doctrine to condemn Innocents as be calls them yea an ungodby uncharitable Doctrine c. Answ That the Devil is the Original of sin in Mankind i.e. the first tempter to sin is a Doctrine we learned from Moses not from the Quakers But what is this ad rem Ergo There is no Original sin except it be the Devil A strange Argument By Original sin we mean the Birth-sin that which man brings with him into the world is from his first beginning and Original and contracted from him that was the Original of Mankind the first Man Adam and is the Original of all actuall sin That all Infants have this sin upon them I will prove from the Scriptures against C. T. and the rest of the Quakers only let it be observed that my Charge is true by his own Confession there in Print I give but three Scriptures Rom. 5.12 In whom i.e. the first Man all have sinned Then Infants they are in him naturally Nevertheless Death reigned from Adam to Moses even over them that had not finned of-the similitude of Adams Transgression Verse 14. These are Infants here spoke of that had not actually finned as Adam yet Death reigned over them though they had not actually transgressed Moses Law as in the Verse before is implied How cometh it to pass that Death is inflicted upon Infants if they have no sin Nay violent Death Is there any unrighteousness with God in Rom. 5. And Death by sin Were there any Infants drowned in the Deluge or any burned in the fire in Sodom and Gomorrah
