REFLECTIONS Upon some PASSAGES In a Book Entituled A DEFENCE Of a Book Entituled The Snake in the Grass By EDMVND ELYS LONDON Printed and Sold by T. Sowle in White-Hart-Court in Gracious-Street and at the Bible in Leaden-Hall-Street 1700. Reflections c. A Defence c p. 29. This was the Rule in all Holy Enthusiams they submited to be Try'd and Examin'd by the Rule of the Scriptures Answ A Learned Foreigner that Writes against ROBERT BARCLAY doth acknowledge Se cum suis Doctrinas Mores suos libentissime Examini earum S. Scripturarum concedere c. That he with those of his Religion are willing their Doctrines should be Try'd by the Holy Scriptures and to admit as a positive and certain Maxim that whatsoever any do pretending to be led by the Spirit which is contrary to the Holy Scriptures should be reputed a Delusion of the Devil P. 90. He comes p. 27. to a material Point indeed where it is objected against the Quakers That they hold the Light within Every Man that comes into the World Sufficient to Salvation without Something else that is without the outward Christ to Suffer and Dye outwardly for Us. Which makes Christ's coming into the World of no Necessity at all to our Salvation I desire the Candid Reader to take a Review of G. Whitehead's Words The first part is not true We are not offended at G. K's Preaching Christ or his Suffering and Dying without us truly considered But 2. at his undervaluing the Light within as not Sufficient to Salvation or not Sufficient without something else seeing G. K. confesseth That the Light within in a true sense is God and Christ the Eternal and Essential Word as in his Antichrists and Sadduces p. 23. Surely Christ within and Christ without are not two Christs Christ without is not another Christ than Christ within tho' his being without and within was in different manners By the Light within being Sufficient to Salvation or to bring Salvation we mean able to Save as the ingrafted Word is able to save the Soul By truly Considered I doubt not but G. W. means Consider'd with a due Regard to the Obligation to Holiness which Our HOLY ONE has 〈◊〉 upon All Men and a Power to become Holy which He Offers to All in the Suffering and Death of Christ The Outward Christ which this Author uses so frequently is a Term most Intolerably Scandalous For it seems to import that the Same Person who is the Light of the World The Light within is not HE that was Crucified at Jerusalem P. 103. The Quakers expect no Justification but only by their own Works wrought In them By the Spirit Answ The Works wrought In us By the Spirit are not Our own Works but the Works of GOD and the Righteousness which is of FAITH I do again and again Request this Learned Man to Attempt the Refutation of what I have written against G. Keith's most impious Saying that The Light within is not Sufficient to Salvation without something else P. 196. By which Logick the Vnderstanding has no more Light in it self than the Eye only a Capacity to receive Light ab Extra Answ It is the Nature of the Humane Understanding or Intellect to receive an Irradiation or Emanation of Light from the Fountain of Light the Sun of Righteousness And it has no more Intelligible Light in it self than the Eye has of Corporeal Light In my Animadversions upon a Book Entituled Christianity not Mysterious I have these Words Every Act of the Intellect or Vnderstanding so far as it is not Deprav'd or Perverted by the Will is nothing else but the Perception of ESSENTIAL REASON in it Self or in its Effects P. 199. Here is a Light within which God Commands us not to Follow This is a most Horrid and Detestable Falshood There 's no Light within but Christ Himself or what Comes from Him P. 205. Our Mind cou'd no more Resist it than our Hands if our Mind had no more Light than the Divine unless you suppose that the Divine Light wou'd Resist it self Answ Certainly the Light is not Resisted by Any Light but only by Darkness Every Sin is a Work of Darkness P. 227. The Quakers will not Allow that He is Absent from us even as to His Person or we from Him Answ Certainly if His Person be the True and Eternal GOD Christ is not Absent from us as to His Person or we from Him P. 227. Another Text they urge mightily for the Vniversality of their Light within is John 1. 9. That was the true Light which lighteth Every Man that cometh into the World This they Understand of Faith the True Saving Faith and to suppose that Every Man must have it Answ This is a Gross Mistake By this Enlightning of Every Man they do not Understand Faith but a Manifestation of the Object of Faith I shall here Recite some words of G. FOX concerning Our Lord JESUS CHRIST The Light Within which import that Truth which I Hope I shall be ever Ready by the Help of GOD to Defend against any Opponent or Opponents whatsoever G. F. Epist 6. No Man is Justified Acting Contrary to that Spirit that doth Convince them Epist 51. GOD is not seen but in the Eternal Light from whence all pure Wisdom comes This Treasure is not seen but with the Spiritual Eye nor received but with the Pure in Heart and by those who dwell and abide in the Eternal Light P. 76. To the Light I direct you that with it ye may see your selves then in it stand that with it ye may see Jesus from whence it Comes P. 99. Every one that comes into the World having a Light from Christ Jesus who is not of the World and being turned to this Light which he is lighted withal he is turned to Jesus Christ from whence it Comes Every one with the Light which comes from Him shall see Christ and shall see the Father through the Spirit that Proceeds from the Father and the Son and the Glory that he had with the Father before the World began P. 112. Live in the Wisdom of the Lord that Jesus Christ may be known in the midst of you as a Prophet Priest and King Therefore I say Know Christ who is the Substance of all the Types Figures and Shadows By whom the World was Made P. 126. Be Faithful unto GOD in your Measure of Light Life and Truth P. 175. The True Freedom is in the Son who Suffered and Dyed and is Risen again P. 492. Christ Suffered in the Flesh and Dyed and was Crucified as he was Man not as he was God the Word which was in the Beginning but as he was Man who bore the Sins and Iniquities of all Mankind and was an Offering for the Sins of the whole World who Tasted Death for Every Man All being in Death in Adam so that they might have Life through Christ the Second Adam So I say again that Christ did not Dye as he was GOD but as Man He was Crucified and Buried and Rose again the Third Day and Ascended and is at the Right Hand of GOD. P. 539. The Stone that Smote the Image became a great Mountain and filled the Earth Dan. 2. Is not this Christ Jesus who hath all Power in Heaven and Earth given to him that He Filleth the Whole Earth with his Divinity to whom GOD gave the Heathen for an Inheritance c. I Beseech Almighty GOD to give Me Grace to Persevere in this Resolution To Abhor All that I Know to be Evil and to cleave to All that I Know to be Good Wheresoever I Discover it COME LORD JESVS FINIS
