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 not_o iniquity_n for_o if_o he_o have_v he_o shall_v not_o have_v obtain_v a_o testimony_n that_o he_o please_v the_o lord_n for_o sinner_n and_o evil-doer_n do_v not_o please_v he_o by_o faith_n noah_n walk_v with_o god_n and_o be_v a_o preacher_n of_o righteousness_n in_o the_o old_a world_n 2.5_o 2_o pet._n 2.5_o also_o let_v in_o sodom_n which_o they_o can_v not_o have_v be_v if_o they_o

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 in_o the_o end_n of_o all_o his_o trial_n god_n clear_v he_o of_o have_v sin_v witness_v that_o he_o have_v find_v he_o faithful_a and_o receive_v a_o sacrifice_n from_o his_o hand_n for_o those_o

record_n of_o zachariah_n and_o elizabeth_n his_o wife_n 1.2_o luke_n 1.2_o that_o they_o be_v both_o righteous_a before_o god_n not_o by_o a_o imagine_a righteousness_n but_o in_o regard_n to_o

they_o have_v be_v neither_o unblamable_a nor_o righteous_a but_o must_v at_o least_o have_v transgress_v some_o of_o the_o command_n of_o the_o lord_n or_o else_o they_o can_v not_o be_v sinner_n also_o nathaniel_n in_o who_o there_o be_v no_o guile_n which_o can_v not_o have_v be_v 1.48_o john_n 1.48_o if_o he_o have_v be_v under_o the_o power_n of_o sin_n and_o much_o more_o may_v i_o

and_o therefore_o those_o that_o be_v partaker_n of_o this_o faith_n in_o this_o age_n may_v hope_v and_o expect_v that_o the_o same_o work_n may_v be_v wrought_v in_o they_o and_o this_o be_v no_o

they_o will_v exclude_v themselves_o which_o they_o will_v hardly_o do_v because_o they_o will_v fain_o have_v a_o name_n of_o be_v believer_n though_o they_o deny_v the_o work_n of_o the_o true_a faith_n in_o themselves_o further_o let_v we_o consider_v what_o these_o strong_a pleader_n for_o sin_n have_v to_o fortify_v themselves_o withal_o they_o say_v they_o have_v the_o scripture_n to_o

and_o he_o think_v he_o may_v do_v many_o thing_n against_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n second_o he_o declare_v of_o his_o convincement_n and_o how_o it_o be_v with_o he_o then_o when_o he_o know_v he_o shall_v not_o do_v no_o more_o against_o the_o truth_n and_o yet_o not_o be_v whole_o change_v he_o do_v thing_n which_o he_o know_v he_o ought_v not_o by_o reason_n of_o sin_n live_v and_o dwell_v

john_n be_v not_o such_o a_o great_a friend_n to_o sin_n and_o the_o devil_n who_o be_v a_o father_n of_o lie_n as_o they_o will_v have_v he_o to_o be_v

in_o the_o worst_a way_n viz._n by_o sin_n which_o be_v so_o very_a contrary_n to_o his_o nature_n but_o let_v but_o these_o sin-pleader_n suppose_v that_o if_o god_n shall_v stretch_v forth_o his_o power_n so_o far_o in_o man_n that_o it_o shall_v destroy_v all_o the_o work_n of_o the_o devil_n and_o cast_v out_o sin_n and_o cause_v his_o soul_n to_o take_v as_o great_a delight_n and_o joy_n in_o welldoing_a as_o ever_o it_o have_v in_o sin_n and_o shall_v plant_v humility_n as_o natural_o in_o the_o soul_n as_o the_o devil_n have_v plant_v pride_n in_o it_o now_o the_o question_n be_v whether_o this_o power_n that_o work_v this_o change_n be_v not_o as_o able_a to_o keep_v the_o creature_n in_o this_o condition_n as_o to_o bring_v he_o to_o it_o without_o any_o help_n of_o the_o devil_n or_o his_o work_n but_o they_o will_v say_v to_o suppose_v a_o thing_n that_o be_v impossible_a be_v either_o against_o reason_n or_o presumption_n i_o answer_v all_o thing_n be_v possible_a with_o god_n except_o to_o lie_v and_o as_o concern_v this_o it_o be_v not_o only_o possible_a but_o the_o contrary_n be_v impossible_a because_o god_n have_v so_o often_o promise_v it_o to_o make_v a_o perfect_a work_n and_o to_o finish_v his_o work_n in_o all_o they_o that_o trust_v in_o he_o and_o for_o this_o end_n be_v christ_n jesus_n come_v that_o he_o may_v destroy_v the_o devil_n and_o his_o work_n and_o in_o the_o parable_n he_o say_v when_o he_o come_v that_o be_v strong_a he_o shall_v bind_v the_o strong_a man_n and_o spoil_v his_o good_n and_o cast_v he_o out_o this_o seem_v as_o if_o christ_n who_o be_v the_o strong_a have_v no_o need_n of_o the_o devil_n or_o his_o good_n either_o to_o keep_v his_o people_n humble_a thereby_o but_o the_o apostle_n say_v that_o they_o be_v keep_v by_o faith_n through_o the_o power_n of_o god_n unto_o salvation_n except_o you_o will_v say_v as_o the_o priest_n in_o scotland_n say_v curse_v be_v he_o that_o say_v faith_n it_o without_o sin_n and_o let_v all_o the_o people_n say_v amen_n then_o the_o word_n of_o the_o apostle_n must_v be_v read_v thus_o you_o be_v keep_v by_o a_o faith_n which_o be_v mix_v with_o sin_n in_o the_o power_n of_o god_n unto_o salvation_n but_o if_o you_o will_v have_v it_o so_o speak_v it_o out_o as_o they_o have_v do_v but_o be_v you_o profess_v that_o faith_n be_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n we_o may_v well_o say_v it_o be_v able_a to_o cleanse_v the_o heart_n and_o to_o give_v victory_n over_o the_o world_n and_o also_o over_o the_o devil_n and_o sin_n and_o then_o there_o be_v no_o need_n of_o sin_n to_o keep_v we_o humble_a for_o if_o humility_n be_v a_o fruit_n of_o sin_n it_o will_v not_o be_v so_o acceptable_a unto_o god_n as_o it_o be_v for_o the_o prophet_n say_v he_o giveth_z his_o grace_n to_o the_o humble_a and_o dwell_v with_o such_o that_o be_v of_o a_o contrite_a and_o break_a heart_n again_o if_o a_o few_o sin_n yea_o though_o they_o be_v but_o a_o remnant_n can_v keep_v man_n humble_a then_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o sin_n must_v needs_o make_v a_o man_n more_o humble_a so_o then_o let_v we_o plentiful_o sin_n that_o we_o may_v plentiful_o be_v humble_a but_o god_n forbid_v that_o such_o doctrine_n or_o such_o teacher_n shall_v go_v unreproved_a for_o they_o have_v exalt_v the_o work_n of_o the_o devil_n beyond_o the_o work_n of_o god_n and_o it_o be_v because_o such_o teacher_n have_v be_v countenance_v that_o the_o people_n have_v be_v lead_v into_o so_o much_o blindness_n ignorance_n and_o hardness_n of_o heart_n and_o that_o people_n have_v
