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

elizium-feild_n after_o they_o be_v dead_a lucillius_z say_v know_v you_o not_o what_o grievous_a punishment_n and_o torment_n the_o wicked_a and_o evil_a man_n be_v to_o suffer_v after_o this_o life_n or_o in_o what_o great_a happiness_n the_o good_a man_n shall_v live_v the_o heathen_a epicarmus_n say_v if_o thou_o be_v godly_a in_o thy_o mind_n thou_o shall_v be_v dead_a not_o suffer_v evil_a and_o many_o such_o say_n be_v among_o they_o but_o these_o fall_v christian_n who_o plead_v a_o necessity_n to_o serve_v this_o spirit_n who_o they_o call_v the_o devil_n who_o place_n they_o will_v confess_v be_v in_o hell_n and_o in_o the_o everlasting_a fire_n yet_o they_o notwithstanding_o without_o do_v good_a expect_v to_o enjoy_v their_o elysium_n to_o wit_n a_o heaven_n where_o god_n and_o the_o holy_a angel_n dwell_v forever_o now_o let_v we_o examine_v a_o little_a what_o reason_n there_o be_v for_o this_o great_a mistake_n first_o they_o say_v that_o sin_n be_v root_v and_o plant_v in_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n yea_o so_o that_o a_o man_n must_v cease_v to_o be_v a_o man_n before_o he_o can_v come_v to_o cease_v from_o be_v a_o sinner_n answer_v that_o man_n in_o his_o natural_a state_n be_v so_o unite_a with_o sin_n as_o that_o he_o thereby_o be_v separate_v from_o god_n i_o do_v not_o deny_v and_o also_o that_o there_o be_v a_o natural_a inclination_n in_o man_n to_o commit_v sin_n be_v also_o true_a to_o wit_n as_o long_o as_o they_o remain_v in_o their_o natural_a state_n and_o condition_n and_o if_o these_o champion_n for_o the_o devil_n kingdom_n have_v blot_v out_o out_o of_o that_o which_o they_o call_v their_o rule_n all_o those_o precious_a say_n that_o make_v mention_n of_o a_o state_n of_o grace_n of_o be_v under_o grace_n of_o be_v change_v or_o translate_v of_o be_v redeem_a and_o make_v free_a of_o be_v wash_v cleanse_v sanctify_a perfect_o in_o soul_n body_n and_o spirit_n and_o many_o more_o such_o place_n then_o they_o have_v have_v a_o plea_n for_o their_o prince_n but_o see_v there_o be_v such_o a_o large_a testimony_n of_o the_o mercy_n and_o goodness_n of_o god_n and_o of_o his_o power_n and_o al-sufficiency_n to_o redeem_v and_o save_v therefore_o it_o be_v worthy_a to_o be_v plead_v before_o we_o allow_v the_o devil_n such_o a_o unlimited_a power_n in_o and_o among_o yea_o over_o all_o the_o son_n and_o daughter_n of_o men._n and_o therefore_o as_o concern_v the_o first_o part_n of_o this_o objection_n to_o wit_n that_o sin_n be_v root_v in_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n how_o come_v it_o to_o be_v root_v there_o who_o work_n be_v it_o to_o make_v it_o so_o be_v it_o the_o work_n of_o god_n or_o have_v he_o order_v it_o that_o it_o shall_v be_v so_o if_o so_o why_o be_v any_o man_n or_o woman_n

say_v so_o for_o then_o the_o manifold_a call_n of_o sinner_n unto_o repentance_n to_o wash_v they_o to_o cleanse_v they_o to_o put_v away_o the_o evil_a from_o they_o to_o cease_v to_o do_v evil_a etc._n etc._n must_v all_o be_v against_o his_o will_n and_o order_n and_o so_o consequent_o but_o a_o mockery_n but_o god_n forbid_v that_o any_o man_n shall_v say_v or_o think_v so_o well_o if_o it_o be_v not_o by_o the_o order_n or_o appointment_n of_o god_n but_o that_o god_n have_v make_v man_n righteous_a in_o his_o nature_n will_n and_o affection_n yea_o in_o the_o image_n of_o god_n he_o create_v he_o then_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v another_o that_o have_v wrought_v this_o great_a work_n to_o plant_v sin_n in_o his_o nature_n and_o when_o it_o be_v examine_v it_o will_v appear_v that_o it_o be_v the_o work_n of_o a_o curse_a outcast_a a_o unclean_a lie_v treacherous_a spirit_n who_o be_v reject_v of_o god_n and_o have_v no_o place_n in_o the_o whole_a creation_n but_o by_o

that_o this_o rule_n and_o government_n shall_v not_o only_o be_v universal_a but_o also_o irresistible_a and_o unalterable_a yea_o though_o god_n almighty_n stretch_v forth_o his_o power_n to_o redeem_v any_o out_o of_o this_o kingdom_n to_o bring_v they_o into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o his_o dear_a son_n yet_o they_o say_v it_o be_v impossible_a for_o he_o till_o he_o die_v it_o be_v as_o

world_n oh_o horrible_a ignorance_n of_o the_o power_n of_o god_n and_o of_o the_o end_n for_o which_o christ_n come_v into_o the_o world_n namely_o to_o destroy_v the_o devil_n and_o his_o work_n now_o when_o his_o work_n be_v destroy_v which_o have_v a_o tendancy_n to_o corrupt_v man_n nature_n then_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n and_o woman_n come_v to_o be_v ag●in_o holy_a clean_a and_o pure_a and_o man_n come_v to_o be_v restore_v to_o his_o first_o image_n and_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o first_o body_n be_v again_o know_v of_o which_o all_o the_o bondslave_n of_o the_o devil_n be_v
