A34979	Christ alone exalted in Dr. Crisp's sermons partly confirmed in answering Mr. Daniel Williams's preface to his Gospel truth stated, by alledging testimonies from Scripture and the doctrine of the Church of England, in the Book of homilies establish'd by law and other orthodox authorities : shewing how he hath wronged as well the truth as the said doctor in the great point of justification by the Neonomian doctrine / humbly offer'd by S.C., an unworthy son of the said doctor, author of a book entituled, Christ made sin, reflected on by Mr. Williams.

save_o all_o thus_o do_v it_o damn_v all_o for_o what_o man_n live_v and_o sin_n not_o so_o that_o every_o true_a penitent_n be_v imperfect_a and_o this_o question_n need_v not_o be_v ask_v but_o

the_o affliction_n that_o the_o lord_n chasten_v withal_o for_o sin_n do_v not_o argue_v that_o sin_n bring_v a_o real_a hurt_n if_o sin_n can_v do_v real_a hurt_n to_o a_o believer_n such_o as_o to_o take_v away_o his_o title_n to_o heaven_n or_o cause_v he_o total_o to_o fall_v from_o grace_n than_o christ_n do_v not_o for_o ever_o by_o one_o sacrifice_n of_o himself_o save_v we_o and_o wash_v

that_o the_o father_n give_v he_o than_o he_o have_v purge_v our_o sin_n by_o himself_o on_o the_o cross_n nail_v they_o there_o never_o to_o be_v able_a to_o rise_v in_o condemnation_n to_o those_o that_o be_v in_o christ_n then_o this_o stingless_a serpent_n sin_n will_v never_o do_v real_a hurt_n to_o believer_n as_o the_o doctor_n say_v but_o if_o mr._n williams_n mean_v that_o sin_n do_v

that_o be_v so_o far_o from_o real_a hurt_n that_o it_o be_v the_o inlet_n to_o eternal_a glory_n and_o if_o that_o be_v hurt_v the_o lord_n grant_v mr._n williams_n and_o i_o may_v be_v so_o hurt_v or_o rather_o bless_v with_o it_o in_o our_o exits_z several_a other_o such_o hurt_n come_v by_o sin_n not_o from_o its_o own_o nature_n but_o from_o god_n ordination_n as_o that_o where_o sin_n abound_v grace_n much_o more_o abound_v not_o that_o any_o shall_v think_v sin_n the_o less_o dreadful_a and_o terrible_a and_o as_o sin_n have_v reign_v to_o death_n so_o grace_n reign_v to_o eternal_a life_n by_o jesus_n christ_n our_o lord_n and_o yet_o still_o sin_n be_v to_o be_v avoid_v as_o the_o great_a horride_v evil_a in_o the_o world_n but_o notwithstanding_o this_o the_o

which_o deserve_v as_o doctor_n crisp_n say_v eternal_a hell_n torment_v that_o it_o be_v not_o so_o much_o as_o a_o flea-biting_n compare_v with_o a_o stab_n at_o the_o heart_n but_o i_o take_v the_o ground_n why_o person_n will_v call_v affliction_n on_o god_n child_n punishment_n for_o sin_n be_v on_o this_o double_a account_n first_o they_o will_v make_v god_n a_o easy_a tender-hearted_a

will_v be_v as_o kind_a to_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o reckon_v he_o bear_v the_o less_o if_o the_o sinner_n bear_v part_n with_o he_o but_o without_o any_o mince_n this_o must_v be_v own_v that_o all_o affliction_n on_o god_n people_n be_v in_o love_n all_o i_o love_v i_o rebuke_v and_o chasten_v and_o it_o be_v for_o our_o profit_n that_o we_o may_v be_v partaker_n of_o his_o

corinthian_n for_o that_o cause_n many_o be_v sick_a and_o weak_a but_o what_o the_o dr._n insist_v on_o be_v that_o affliction_n for_o sin_n be_v not_o proper_a punishment_n but_o pure_a love_n to_o their_o soul_n though_o i_o can_v see_v but_o affliction_n be_v a_o fruit_n or_o effect_n of_o sin_n in_o many_o yet_o i_o may_v not_o from_o thence_o conclude_v that_o those_o affliction_n be_v from_o wrath_n in_o the_o father_n or_o for_o punishmenr_v proper_a on_o the_o child_n but_o the_o effect_n of_o a_o fatherly_a love_n for_o if_o you_o be_v without_o chastisement_n whereof_o all_o

if_o it_o promise_v life_n to_o the_o elect_n however_o vile_a and_o impenitent_a they_o be_v this_o i_o take_v to_o be_v mr._n william_n question_n now_o if_o he_o mean_v that_o the_o gospel_n do_v
