A65834	An antidote against the venome of The snake in the grass, or, The book so stiled and the Christian people called Quakers vindicated from its most gross abuses and calumnies in certain reflections detecting the nameless author's malice, outrage, and persecution against the said people : unto which is annex'd a brief examination of the author's second book stil'd Satan dis-rob'd : also, some notice taken of his discourse for The divine institution of water-baptism.	Whitehead, George, 1636?-1723.	1697 (1697)	Wing W1889; ESTC R27066	123,381	290

our Body as with a Garment or Veil and so of Christ. Which warrants J. P.'s Question against his Author F. B. and himself at least so far as not to make it a Subject of any further Contention against us Again my Accuser brings a heavy black Charge upon me in these Words viz. In this same 11th Article we are now upon after your full and Affirmative Declaration before he would have it Negative you subborn Two Texts as Favourers of your damnable Heresie before-told yet say you slily his Flesh was called the Veil Heb. 10. And he took upon him the form of a Servant and was made like unto Men and was found in the 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Shape or Figure of a Man Phil. 2. 6 7. And then exclaims Ah George George I could forgive thee any thing but this What put upon us at this rate It seems my citing those Two Texts and alledging them to prove that the word Veil was applied to Christ's Flesh which he took upon him and the Word 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Shape or Figure of a Man to the form of his Manhood or outward Man tho' I intended no other than that without the least Contempt to Christ Such Words might be used as they had been by some of our Friends For this it seems I have committed such a heinous and unpardonable Crime or Sin as this my severe Judge cannot forgive This is represented as my highest Offence and truly I shall not need to seek to him for Absolution or Pardon nor to be my Confessor I have a merciful and faithful High Priest to apply and appeal to I need not go to unmerciful and implacable Ones for Pardon especially such a one as has so shamefully calumniz'd me with subborning Two Texts as Favourers of damnable Heresie How comes this Accuser in his Fallibility or Uncertainty thus severely to condemn me when he cannot refute Matter of Fact about the Two said Texts being alledged in behalf of my Friend's meaning and not at all with the least Intention to lessen the Dignity or Glory of the Son of God No far be it from me And where 's my unpardonable Sin in the Application of the Text Phil. 2 Why he saith George Whitehead brings in the word Figure which is not in the English Translation And what then But let him have it he himself makes it synonimous to Shape p. 263. And he is forced to let me have it because he cannot well deny it without Disparagement to himself But herein he would place on me a Mis-application of the Words Who being found in the Shape or Figure of a Man c. And therefore saith what relation has this to the calling Christ Jesus a Type or Figure of their Light within which I have shewn above out of the Quakers Books And I have denied this as a Falshood before and now declare against his manifest Perversion and Injury to me and my Words herein For as I sincerely disown the Words charged viz. The calling Christ Jesus a Type or Figure of our Light within I could not apply the Words before in the Text Phil. 2. to have any relation thereto much less as proof of that which I never held And I know none of us that doth so call Jesus Christ A Type of our Light within he being the Fountain thereof Nor that Christ is Only a Figure as falsly charged by F. Bugg Which Perversion so far as I can find was first forged from these Words in the Book Saul's Errand viz. Christ in the Flesh without them is their Example or Figure which is both one For his being their Example 1 Pet. 2. 21. 4. 1. 1. 15. John 13. 15. are quoted See also Luke 2. 31. he was called a Sign Now hence to say he was Only a Sign were a gross Perversion Christ was our Example Now hence to say he was nothing else but an Example were an Abuse and to lessen his Dignity and a variation from the Sense as our Adversary has done upon Trust of his Author F. Bugg upon his false Report which is besides all Justice Morality and judicial Proceedings Now the Question is Whether Figure may be made synonimous to Example for the words Example or Figure as before I conceive it may For Type or Figure sometimes points at a thing to come as in Rom. 5. 14. who was the 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Figure of him that was to come And sometimes Type or Figure denotes a present Example or Pattern as in Phil. 3. 17. Mark them which walk so as ye have us for 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Example And the same Word is used in 2 Thes. 3. 9. 1 Tim. 4. 12. Titus 2. 7. 1 Cor. 10. 11. only in different Cases or Terminations And the word 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 an Example or Type John 13. 15. Heb. 9. 23. Thus Example or Type are made synonimous in T. C.'s Lexicon and the like in Crit. Sacr. but more fully explain'd for there 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 i. e. Exemplum Exemplar Triplicem habet in Scriptura significatum 1. Significat Typum seu Figuram rerum vel praeteritarum Heb. 8. 5. vel futurarum Heb. 9. 23. 2. Exemplum imitationis John 13. 15. 1 Tim. 4. 12. Titus 4. 7. 3. Exemplum Monitionis sive Cautelae ut 2 Pet. 2. 6. i. e. Exemplum Exemplar hath a threefold Signification in Scripture 1. It signifies a Type or Figure of Things either past or to come 2. An Example of Imitation 3. An Example of Warning or Caution Now see how synonimously the Terms Type Figure Patern and Example are rendered in Scripture and of what extent not only in relation to the Types under the Law but in some respect to Christ and his Ministers tho' he be also confessed to be the Antitype Substance and End of all Legal Shadows Types and Figures But I have not called Christ himself a Type of our Light within nor justified the same As to my Accuser's Offence at my saying Christ's Flesh is called the Veil Heb. 10. 20. it was to remove an Offence taken against my Friend J. P. for using the same And it would have become this Adversary to have forborn his blasphemous Scoffing at my Light as George if thy Light has hitherto forgot to tell thee c. I bless the Lord my God who is my Light Life and Salvation he has shewn me the new and living way of the New Covenant which our blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ consecrated prepared or set open through the Veil that is to say his Flesh yea through his Sufferings and Death as being the Testator he hath enforced that New Testament or second Covenant he took away the first that he might establish the second and so hath open'd the Passage into eternal Life into the Hollest of Holies within the Veil and beyond all the Shadows and Veils under the Law It was in the most holy Place within the second Veil in
