A34984	An alarum sounded in the borders of spiritual Egypt vvhich shall be heard in Babylon, and astonish the inhabitants of the defiled and polluted habitations of the earth. And the power of the Prince of Darkness called into question; and he himself examin'd by the truth, how he came to raign over mankind; and how long his time shall be, till he comes to be cast out of his dominion, and the creature be deliver'd from under his tyranny; to serve God in spirit and in truth, as Christ, the prince of peace, has order'd them. Also the number of him whom the world hath wonder'd after, found out; and demonstrated to be near at an end: and withal, that it is no wayes unlawful, nor in vain, both to hope, and to expect the utter desolation, and destruction of sin in this life, and the setting up of perfect righteousness in the souls of men, where sin has too long raign'd. Written in a testimony to the truth, and against the false position of the devil, and his servants; by a servant of God, Steven Crisp.	Crisp, Stephen, 1628-1692.	1671 (1671)	Wing C6922; ESTC R215182	35,940	50

in_o the_o power_n of_o christ_n believe_v that_o the_o devil_n be_v more_o able_a to_o keep_v the_o creature_n and_o to_o hold_v fast_o that_o which_o by_o deceit_n and_o treachery_n he_o have_v get_v in_o it_o then_o god_n who_o make_v the_o creature_n good_a in_o his_o nature_n be_v ●ble_n to_o restore_v it_o to_o his_o first_o purity_n that_o the_o creature_n may_v come_v to_o serve_v he_o in_o righteousness_n and_o holiness_n and_o such_o as_o so_o believe_v be_v no_o true_a christian_n nor_o true_a believer_n but_o be_v stand_v in_o the_o corrupt_a nature_n that_o have_v unity_n with_o the_o devil_n and_o plead_v his_o cause_n who_o be_v willing_a that_o his_o corrupt_a birth_n shall_v live_v in_o man_n as_o long_o as_o he_o live_v in_o the_o world_n for_o he_o know_v that_o so_o long_v no_o acceptable_a sacrifice_n can_v be_v offer_v up_o to_o god_n for_o you_o can_v bring_v forth_o a_o clean_a sacrifice_n out_o of_o a_o unclean_a vessel_n and_o as_o long_o as_o nature_n be_v defile_v the_o work_n will_v be_v unclean_a that_o be_v wrought_v in_o that_o nature_n second_o the_o second_o plead_v be_v that_o never_o any_o man_n be_v free_v from_o sin_n ever_o since_o sin_n first_o enter_v into_o the_o world_n and_o that_o therefore_o it_o be_v presumption_n to_o expect_v such_o a_o thing_n in_o this_o life_n answ_n if_o this_o position_n be_v true_a that_o there_o be_v never_o any_o man_n free_v from_o sin_n yet_o it_o will_v be_v presumption_n to_o say_v that_o god_n shall_v not_o be_v able_a to_o do_v that_o which_o he_o never_o do_v and_o it_o be_v also_o presumption_n to_o conclude_v that_o never_o any_o man_n be_v free_v but_o if_o this_o position_n be_v false_a than_o not_o only_o the_o consequence_n be_v false_a to_o wit_n that_o none_o can_v be_v free_v but_o also_o the_o argument_n itself_o be_v prove_v to_o be_v a_o lie_n and_o so_o be_v sweep_v away_o and_o a_o door_n be_v open_v unto_o all_o that_o have_v more_o love_n to_o righteousness_n then_o to_o sin_n both_o to_o hope_v and_o to_o expect_v that_o the_o same_o work_n shall_v again_o be_v wrought_v in_o and_o for_o they_o without_o presumption_n now_o that_o all_o man_n be_v sinner_n by_o nature_n be_v evident_a and_o that_o some_o be_v change_v out_o of_o that_o natural_a state_n be_v as_o evident_a so_o that_o the_o question_n be_v only_o whether_o those_o that_o be_v translate_v out_o of_o that_o sinful_a nature_n remain_v sinful_a yea_o or_o nay_o which_o if_o it_o be_v so_o what_o advantage_n have_v they_o beyond_o other_o if_o they_o after_o they_o be_v translate_v must_v remain_v unfreed_a but_o i_o answer_v with_o the_o word_n of_o the_o apostle_n 1_o pet._n 4.1_o he_o that_o have_v suffer_v in_o the_o flesh_n have_v cease_v from_o sin_n and_o here_o he_o speak_v of_o such_o that_o be_v yet_o in_o the_o body_n but_o have_v suffer_v with_o and_o be_v make_v partaker_n of_o the_o suffering_n and_o death_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v to_o sin_n through_o which_o every_o one_o must_v pass_v before_o they_o can_v come_v to_o the_o resurrection_n that_o be_v in_o christ_n by_o which_o say_v peter_n they_o obtain_v the_o answer_n of_o a_o good_a conscience_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n which_o he_o call_v the_o baptism_n that_o save_v now_o some_o have_v be_v partaker_n of_o that_o death_n baptism_n and_o resurrection_n of_o christ_n by_o which_o they_o come_v to_o cease_v from_o sin_n and_o to_o have_v a_o answer_n of_o a_o good_a conscience_n without_o offence_n both_o to_o god_n and_o man_n which_o none_o that_o sin_n can_v have_v then_o may_v there_o some_o lawful_o expect_v to_o come_v to_o the_o enjoyment_n of_o the_o same_o state_n of_o freedom_n and_o clearness_n as_o well_o now_o as_o former_o without_o presumption_n second_o i_o answer_v with_o the_o word_n of_o the_o apostle_n john_n 1_o joh._n 3.9_o he_o that_o be_v bear_v of_o god_n sin_v not_o because_o his_o seed_n abide_v in_o he_o and_o he_o can_v sin_v for_o he_o be_v bear_v of_o god_n now_o whereas_o there_o have_v be_v some_o that_o be_v bear_v of_o god_n and_o have_v be_v his_o child_n and_o that_o they_o that_o be_v so_o have_v overcome_v the_o wicked_a one_o so_o that_o he_o can_v not_o touch_v they_o but_o they_o have_v keep_v their_o garment_n white_a and_o unspotted_a and_o that_o some_o have_v be_v free_v from_o the_o law_n of_o sin_n and_o death_n and_o that_o some_o have_v walk_v unbl●mable_a and_o without_o spot_n and_o have_v put_v off_o the_o old_a man_n with_o his_o deed_n and_o have_v know_v the_o new_a birth_n and_o can_v by_o the_o holy_a spirit_n call_v god_n father_n which_o thing_n be_v all_o manifest_a in_o the_o scripture_n of_o truth_n which_o none_o can_v deny_v but_o those_o that_o will_v deny_v the_o scripture_n why_o then_o shall_v any_o man_n question_n that_o the_o same_o work_n of_o redemption_n shall_v not_o now_o again_o be_v bring_v to_o pass_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v lawful_a to_o expect_v it_o without_o presumption_n this_o argument_n be_v confute_v by_o the_o experience_n of_o the_o saint_n three_o the_o faith_n of_o god_n elect_n be_v but_o one_o in_o all_o age_n and_o that_o faith_n have_v purify_v the_o heart_n of_o many_o in_o former_a age_n and_o have_v teach_v they_o to_o walk_v with_o god_n as_o for_o instance_n enoch_n walk_v with_o god_n several_a hundred_o of_o year_n 5.21_o gen._n 5.21_o and_o it_o will_v be_v a_o horrible_a thing_n to_o say_v that_o he_o walk_v with_o god_n when_o he_o walk_v in_o sin_n as_o if_o god_n walk_v in_o a_o sinful_a way_n for_o the_o prophet_n say_v the_o bloodyman_n nor_o the_o worker_n of_o iniquity_n dwell_v nor_o walk_v not_o with_o the_o lord_n but_o enoch_n dwell_v and_o walk_v with_o the_o lord_n and_o do_v

of_o he_o that_o he_o eschew_v the_o evil_a and_o be_v perfect_a and_o though_o his_o trial_n be_v many_o yet_o he_o sin_v not_o with_o his_o lip_n neither_o do_v he_o charge_n god_n foolish_o and_o

to_o see_v the_o salvation_n which_o come_v out_o of_o zion_n and_o therefore_o for_o a_o conclusion_n i_o shall_v say_v this_o that_o all_o those_o that_o feel_v themselves_o in_o bondage_n under_o

that_o you_o may_v be_v deliver_v as_o i_o myself_o have_v feel_v 3.3_o 1_o joh._n 3.3_o and_o this_o hope_n will_v lead_v to_o a_o daily_o wash_v and_o purify_n and_o to_o a_o daily_a crucify_a and_o

2._o but_o second_o it_o be_v christ_n who_o be_v the_o preserver_n and_o keeper_n unto_o the_o end_n of_o those_o that_o trust_v in_o he_o and_o the_o apostle_n testify_v that_o those_o that_o be_v deliver_v from_o the_o corruption_n of_o this_o world_n must_v know_v he_o to_o be_v their_o keeper_n that_o have_v gather_v they_o out_o of_o the_o world_n and_o therefore_o say_v judas_n in_o his_o epistle_n vers_fw-la 24._o now_o unto_o he_o that_o be_v able_a to_o keep_v you_o from_o fall_v and_o to_o present_v you_o faultless_a before_o the_o presence_n of_o his_o glory_n with_o exceed_a joy_n etc._n etc._n and_o petter_n testify_v 1_o pet._n 1.5_o you_o be_v keep_v by_o the_o power_n of_o god_n through_o faith_n unto_o salvation_n ready_a to_o be_v reveal_v in_o the_o last_o time_n and_o paul_n testify_v that_o the_o keep_n be_v by_o jesus_n christ_n phil._n 4.7_o so_o here_o you_o may_v see_v that_o the_o bring_n to_o the_o state_n of_o perfection_n and_o the_o keep_n from_o fall_v from_o it_o again_o be_v both_o the_o work_n of_o christ_n and_o yet_o this_o be_v not_o a_o perfect_a salvation_n fo●_n this_o do_v not_o put_v away_o the_o former_a sin_n 3._o but_o three_o whoever_o come_v to_o perfect_a salvation_n he_o come_v to_o know_v christ_n to_o be_v a_o offer_n for_o sin_n and_o to_o obtain_v reconciliation_n with_o god_n and_o forgiveness_n of_o his_o former_a sin_n for_o all_o the_o holy_a conversation_n and_o perfection_n of_o life_n can_v be_v count_v no_o more_o but_o his_o duty_n and_o therefore_o he_o can_v obtain_v remission_n of_o one_o of_o his_o former_a sin_n but_o those_o that_o confess_v their_o sin_n and_o forsake_v they_o such_o come_v to_o forgiveness_n by_o jesus_n christ_n and_o come_v to_o know_v his_o blood_n cleanse_v they_o from_o all_o their_o former_a sin_n and_o so_o they_o come_v to_o perfect_a salvation_n by_o grace_n not_o by_o work_n but_o by_o faith_n that_o work_v in_o the_o love_n of_o god_n unto_o obedience_n without_o which_o faith_n be_v but_o dead_a and_o make_v no_o man_n save_v but_o those_o that_o have_v this_o true_a faith_n and_o hope_n in_o they_o they_o purify_v themselves_o as_o he_o be_v pure_a 1_o jo._n 3.3_o and_o he_o that_o have_v not_o this_o hope_n do_v not_o purify_v himself_o neither_o do_v he_o believe_v that_o he_o can_v do_v it_o and_o by_o this_o we_o know_v the_o true_a believer_n from_o the_o false_a and_o by_o this_o sinner_n be_v make_v manifest_a that_o can_v stand_v in_o the_o congregation_n of_o the_o righteous_a psal_n 1.5_o so_o now_o let_v all_o the_o pleader_n for_o sin_n stop_v their_o mouth_n for_o ever_o and_o let_v the_o devil_n stand_v for_o himself_o and_o plead_v his_o own_o cause_n and_o henceforth_o do_v not_o despise_v and_o revile_v the_o innocent_a that_o be_v travel_v and_o strive_v after_o perfection_n with_o a_o faith_n to_o obtain_v it_o that_o they_o think_v to_o be_v save_v by_o their_o own_o work_n for_o we_o hope_v for_o no_o other_o salvation_n but_o that_o which_o be_v in_o and_o by_o jesus_n christ_n the_o eternal_a son_n of_o god_n who_o be_v the_o first-born_a of_o every_o creature_n that_o bring_v many_o son_n and_o daughter_n unto_o glory_n but_o not_o by_o leave_v they_o in_o their_o sin_n but_o his_o name_n be_v jesus_n and_o he_o save_v people_n from_o their_o sin_n s._n c._n the_o end_n
