the offended Infinite Justice of his Father AGainst this Rigid and Unscriptural Doctrine VV. P. brings about Fifteen Texts of Scripture and from them shews the great Forgiveness of God after them in p. 17 18. he refutes this Doctrine from Right Reason shewing why Jesus Christ as Man could not be a plenary Satisfaction the place is thus p. 18. 6. Tbe Justice Offended being Infinite his Satisfaction ought to bear a proportion therewith which Jesus Christ as Man could never pay he being Finite and from a Finite Cause could not proceed an Infinite Effect for so Man may be said to bring forth God since nothing below the Divinity of Christ it self can rightly be Stiled Infinite Of this Reason T. Budd cut off the last Line But to go on W. P. having in this and six or seven particulars more shewn the contrariety of the Doctrine above to Right Reason he then numbers up nine Irreligious and Irrational Consequences from the afore Doctrine The seventh and eighth Consequences in p. 19. runs thus Since Christ could not pay what was not his own it follows that in the payment of his own the case still remains equally grievous since the debt is not hereby absolved or fogiven but transfer'd only and by consequence we are no better provided for Salvation than before owing that now to the Son which was once owing to the Father 8. It no way renders Man beholding or in in the least oblig'd to God since by their Doctrine he would not have abated us nor did he Christ the least Farthing so that the acknowledgments are peculiarly the Sons which destroys the whole Current of Scripture Testimony for his good will towards Men. O the Infamous Portraiture this Doctrine draws of the Infinite Goodness Is this your Retribution O Injurious Satisfactionists Of this T. B. in his Quotation hath taken but about two Lines T. B's Third Charge is That W. P. hath denyed Jesus Christ the Son of God that Died at Jerusalem his Quotation is out of Serious Apology in Answer to T. Jenner p. 146. W. P. saith He T. Jenner takes up a whole Chapter in his endeavours to prove That we deny the Lord that bought us because we deny that Person the Son of God that Died at Jerusalem to be our Redeemer It will be convenient here to give some Brief Account of this Book before I give the Quotation out of it in order to its better Understanding which in short is this This Book Entituled A Serious Apology c. was written by W. P. in Answer and for the Clearing of the People called Quakers from the Malicious Aspersions Erronious Doctrines and Horid Blasphemies of Tho. Jenner and Timothy Taylor in a Book of theirs Entituled Quakerism Anatomized and Confuted In which Book among other things they say The Quakers deny the Lord that brought them c. In reply to this W. P. in p. 146. of the Apology says 1st He takes up a whole Chapter in his endeavours to prove that we deny the Lord that bought us though very falsly and with equal insuccess And here he brings in a Quotation out of Quakerism Anatomized c. p. 153 154. The Quotation is thus out of Jenner Because we deny that Person the Son of God that Dyed at Jerusalem to be our Redeemer And immediately W. P. subjoyns which most horid Imputation has been Answered more I believe than a Thousand times that is That he that laid down his Life and suffered his Body to be Crucified by the Jews without the Gates of Jerusalem is Christ the only Son of the most High God But that the outward Person or Body only which is what VV. P. meant as appears by what follow which Suffered was properly the Son of God we utterly deny and it is a perfect Contradiction to their own Principles A Body hast thou prepared me said the Son then the Son was not the Body though the Body was the Sons this brings him more under the charge of making him but a meer Man than us who acknowledge him to be One with the Father and of a Nature Eternal and Immortal for he was Glorified with the Father before the VVorld was The Patching and Horrid Forgery of T. Budd in this place is surely without Example for here he has not been content only to pick a Line but also to joyn to it as VV. P's a Quotation which VV. P. took out of his Adversaries Book to Answer as above To this Forgery he has also added Folly in that after picking two or three Lines of the last Quotation he has laid them down in his Sheet as a Charge of a different Nature from the last mentioned which he makes his Fifth Charge but this his Folly Blind Malice and Forgery falls back upon himself Such is the Shame and Confusion of him and all others who by Apostatizing from the Spirit of Truth are become Darkness I proceed now to T. Budd's Fourth Charge drawn out of p. 148. of this same Book and which is That VV. P. denies Justification by an Imputative Righteousness T. Budd's Quotation runs thus That we deny Justification by the Righteousness which Christ hath fulfilled in his own Person for us wholly without us and therefore deny the Lord that brought us In Answer to this VV. P. saith And indeed this we deny and boldly affirm it in the Name of the Lord to be the Doctrine of Devils and an Arm of the Sea of Corruption which does now delude the whole VVorld If Men may be Justified while Impure then God quits the Guilty Death came by actual Sin not imputative in his Sense therefore Justification unto Life comes by Actual Righteousness not Imputative But in the Apology it appears That VV. P. does in this Page of 148. bring a Quotation out of T. Jenner's Book p. 155 156 157 viz. That we deny Justification by the Righteousness which Christ hath fulfilled in his own Person for us wholly without us and therefore deny the Lord that bought us TO this VV. P. subjoyns And indeed this we deny and boldly affirm it in the Name of the Lord to be the Doctrine of Devils and an Arm of the Sea of Corruption which does now deluge the wbole VVorld And then goes on I shall not so much insist upon this as I have not upon the other four particulars they having been Irrefutable Considered and Answered by my Friend and Partner in this Discourse in the first Part of this Apology Only this I shall observe and add First No Man can be Justified without Faith says Jenner No Man hath Faith without Works any more than a Body can Live without a Spirit saith James viz. the Apostle Therefore the VVorks of Righteousness by the Spirit of Christ Jesus are necessary to Justification Secondly If Men may be Justified whilst impure then God quits the Guilty contrary to the Scripture which cannot be Thirdly Death came by Actual Sin not Imputative in his Sense therefore Justification unto Life
