A88837	The lip of truth opened, against a dawber with untempered morter. A few words against a book, written by Magnus Bine priest, in the county of Sussex, which he calls, The scornful quakers answered, &c. But he himself is found the scorner, and the lyer, charging me with things I never spoke, nor never entered into my heart to speak. / Tho. Lawson.

art the messenger of Satan who art charging him with inward pride when at the Scripture mentions no such thing And in as much as I said Christ is the end of sin and the end of Condemnation thou revilest me for it and calls it a new phrase like my form and that I grow worse and worse Page 89. Answ What I there said all who are of God will it own and the thing is plain but being of the off spring of Amalek thou must needs brawl and wrangle Dan. 9.24 is it not he that makes and end of sin 1 John 3.5 doth not he by his coming put an end to sin so is the end thereof and here he is known who is without end and 1 Pet. 4.7 the end of all things is at hand the end of all things saith he what is this but Christ if the end of all things then of sin what ground hast thou to wrangle for this saying and if thou knew Christ thou would know him to be the end of condemnation Is not the Law added because of transgression till the Seed who is the end of sin and condemnation which is because of sin Gal. 3.19 and Rom. 8.1 no condemnation to them that are in Christ so see thy folly who wrangles at plain words but remembers not thy own sayes which thou hast no ground of Scripture for as strong Fiat third principle of the elementary world calling the soul a little map of the great world and page 104.107.108 of thy book the most of it is thy own thoughts and imaginations And in as much as I said John wrote to such as were not come thorough the confession to babes young men and fathers then by my own confession thou sayes he wrote to all sorts of Christians to confess sin Page 90. I answer Fain thou would have thy Idols spared all thy dayes and thy green trees not cut down to worship under and stumbling at the Light thou stumbles at the Scriptures and at my words did I write any thing as to give thee a ground to say that babes young men and fathers were sinners so ought to confess sin I said he wrote to such as were not come thorough the confession read without 1 John 1.8 9. thou art blind within and he wrote to children not to sin yet if any c. 1 John 2.1 he wrote to young men and sayes they were strong and the word of God abode in them and they had overcome the wicked one 1 John 2.14 and he wrote to fathers who knew him that was in the beginning and he that abid sin him sins not 1 John 3.6 So here is nothing to be found for thee to uphold sin thy fathers image and saith John he that is born of God sins not he is kept that the wicked one touch him not 1 John 5.18 and no way can thou please thy bewitched hearers more withal than in possessing them that they must live in sin here and have heaven hereafter but know this O you bewitched people that if you live not the life of the righteous you cannot die the death of the righteous if you live not the life of the righteous your latter end cannot be like his so be warned HELL gapes for the wicked Thou sayes There is a natural man and a spiritual man and each one of these have a light and that is the same to it self and in it self but in the natural man it is but reason Romans 1.19 20. Page 96. I answer The light we bear witness to is Christ the true light who lighteth every man that cometh into the world John 1.9 which light letteth every man see his evil deeds who be in the evil deeds and is the same in him that hates it as in him that loves it John 3.19 20 21. and thou sayes in the natural man it is but reason prove the light that comes from Christ to be reason shew me a Scripture calling it reason else confess thou speaks thou knows not what as for Rom. 1.19 20 it saith no such thing that the light of Christ in any man is reason he who is given a Covenant to Israel he is given a light to the Gentiles Isaiah 42.6 7. Thou sayes All light it seems is not the same though it come from the same root t is not the same to us in it self it is one and the same but to us it is called natural spiritual reason grace Page 96. I answer What the light is thy dark mind comprehends not because thou art planted in the root that bears bitterness the light is but one even Christ who is the glory of Israel a light to lighten the Gentiles Luke 2 32. and prove it by Scripture where the light is called natural and reason prove thy saying by Scripture else confess thou sayes thou knows not what as for Rom. 2.14 we own but that nature that leads to do the things in the Law contained none know but who receive Christ the Life the Light such partake of the divine Nature 2 Peter 1.4 Thou sayes The first man according to his principle hath a light and life and that flows from the root Christ in him which he sees not for the head of every man is Christ Page 97. I answer Christ is the true light that lighteth every man that cometh into the world John 1 9. but thou that doth evil hates the light as saith the Scriptures so another leads thee and that which thou walks in is darkness though thou may call it light so thy eye must be put out and thy life must thou loose else not know Christ the root the head of every man but thou that doth evil and hates the light art not the man but a beast yet the man of sin he that is not in the truth is a beast and the Serpent is thy head as thy fruits make it manifest selfishness folly covetous practises so the man thou knows not which bruises the Serpents head though much thou can talk Thou sayes This light though low and faint yet teaches man to feel and grope after a God and to worship yet still it is to the unknown God Page 97. I answer This thy faying is full of lies Christ the true light he lighteth every one Jew and Gentile John 1 9. Isaiah 42.6 7. which light who as it loves and obeys it leads into a sensibleness and feeling and in this keeping iniquity is departed from night and darkness and clouds by little and little vanishes and passes away so is Christ formed who is the light and makes known the Father Math. 11 27. John 1.18 Isaiah 42.6 7. the Gentiles have the light to open the prison door and if Christ the light teach not the knowledge of God what is there that can no light we own but Christ who lighteth every one and all that it loves it brings them to seek feel after and find God and nothing but the light can do this Tit. 2.11 12 this is the

conscious of errors and sins I confess there was a time when Paul said I know that in my flesh dwels no good thing Rom. 7 18. but then he was a wretched man this was in his warfare but there was a time when flesh was crucified with the affections and lusts Gal 5 24. and he was crucified with Christ and Christ lived in him Gal 2 20. he was no wretched man then when the law rose up in him sin and flesh appeared and was strong and led him captive and he was a wretched man condemned by the righteous law written in the heart which shewed him sin and made him cry out who shall deliver Rom 7. now there was a time when he said he hath delivered Col 1.13 then no more who shall who shall but he hath he hath if thou had been of God thou would have seen thorough his several conditions he passed thorough he became dead to the Law Gal 2 19 so to sin for while man sins the Law is added and though there was a time when he cried out of sin and death Rom 7. yet there was a time when sin and death he was freed from Rom 8.2 and he was more than a conquer or and death was abolished 2 Tim 1 10 even that death which before he complained of then who shall lay any thing to the charge of Gods elect death being abolished it is God that justifieth who is he that condemneth Rom. 8.33 34. now thou art charging such with errors and sins and Job was a just and a perfect man and he abhorred self and covetous practises which thou lives in Job 1 1. Job 42.5 6. and David overcome with a temptation he cried for a new heart a clean heart Psal 51.10 he found no peace till a clean heart was restored to him and did not plead for the old heart nor the works thereof as thou dost Again thou sayes Pauls trembling brought such a peircing sight with it that ever afterwards he saw a body of corruption a fleshly part in him sighting and carrying him forth many times to the law of sin Page 69. I answer That of God in all consciences shall witness against thee as it rises that all thy pleading is for deceit sometime for mastership which Christ forbad for tyth which he put an end unto sometime for unnecessary clothing and much for sin and Sow-like thou would have filth and mire to wallow in and thy speech of Pauls is a lie who saith ever after his trembling he saw a body of corruption c. his words is a witness against thee so would make people believe he sowed to the flesh for such reap corruption but he sowed to the spirit and reaped life Gal. 2.10 Christ the life lived in him and Paul witnessed a freeing from death and corruption and death was abolished Ro. 8.2 2 Tim. 1 10. and flesh was crucified and in that thou saies still fighting that 's a lie he came to be more than a Conquerour Rom. 8 in Christ who abolished death thus with evil thoughts thou art judging the Apostle and looking upon him to be as one of thy Saints as thou calls them who live in rage violence and imaginations which are heathen Thou saies Away with fleshly bodily litteral Trembling and quivering terming it to be Belshazzars trembling or a fit of Mahomet when the falling evil fell upon him c. page 70. Or like a man possessed with the Devil I answer Oh that ever people should be so bewitched as to follow thee and such like who gets thy living with trading with the words of the holy men of God which were spoken forth freely and blasphemes and reviles that which they witnessed what if thou had seen David roaring his flesh trembling Psal 119.120 or Ieremiah all his bones shaking he like a drunken man Ier. 23.9 and Iob trembling all his bones shaking Iob 4 14. Habbakkuk trembling and his lips quivering Hab. 3.17 What if thou had seen these would thou have told them or the Nations to make them odious in the eyes thereof that their trembling was like a fit of Mahomet when the falling evil fell upon him or that they were like men possessed with Devils I know thou art seared and past feeling you that are his hearers take heed how you hold up such a one who as a bruit beast speaks evil of the thing he knows not and when thou hast filled up the measure of thine iniquity the Lord will cut the off who speaks evill of his power and them that are witnesses of it Thou bids me prove that the Priests were to maintain the Fatherless Widdows and Strangers page 73. I answer Thou may read that out of the Tyth such were to be maintained Deut. 14.28 29. and that by Commandment from the Lord they had as much property to their share in Tyth as the Levite and your selfishness herein appears in crying up your own property in and to Tyth but as for the fatherless widdow and strangers their property to Tyth I never heard Priest plead for and their property was as absolute to Tyth as the Levites as the Scripture declares so that if from the Commandment under the Law you could prove Tyth your property then were it also the property of the fatherless widdow and strangers then may it be truly said of you there is not a Tything Priest in England that pleads the cause of the fatherless widdow and strangers The first Priesthood took Tyth by a Law Heb. 7. and by a Commandment but the Law is changed and the Commandement dissanulled by Christ Jesus and that he confirmed it by a Law to his Ministry he sent forth this remains for you to prove but thou bids me prove that the Priests was to maintain the fatherless c. thou sot was not Israel a Kingdom of Priests as Gods Covenant they kept Exod. 19.6 and Shelemiah the Priest and others distributed to the brethren Nehe. 13.13 the Scripture mentions a teaching Priest and the several Tythings according to the Scriptures in their places I own Thou saies I that deny Tyth to be the Ministers due am a Robber of God Prov. 3.9 Mall 3.8 I answer thou runs far to plead for the wages of unrighteousness in the time of the Law Tyth was an Ordinance so who denied to pay it robbed God but Christ is come and hath put an end to the Law Priesthood Commandment and the hand-writing of Ordinances he blotted out Heb. 7.12 18. Col. 2.14 and the Ordinance for the Priesthood and for the Tyth was in the hand-writing written with the hand he blotted out and that he ordained Tyth again to the twelve seventy or Apostles this prove else it s not your due but thou tells me I am guilty of Ananias his sin in speaking against your Tyth I answer Ananias his not giving Tyth to the hireling Priest was not his sin nor his not giving Tyth to the Apostles but his lying Acts 5.1 2 3 4 5. for said
