A DECLARATION Against the ANTINOMIANS and their Doctrine of LIBERTY Their chief Tenents briefly and fully answered and the danger of those erroneous points manifested With a caution to such as are or have been so misled to perswade with them to turn from that evill into which they are or have been seduced These being their Conclusions understood by most Auditors I.

A Declaration against the ANTINONIANS and their Doctrine of Liberty WHereas the Antinomians by their dangerous and wicked conclusions which they falsly gather from Gods free grace hath of late yeares been so farre spread and corrupted so many people I have thought good to declare what blasphemy is taught therein and have briefly and fully gathered such testimonies against them as I hope will be sufficient to satisfie any reasonable man And yet no blemish at all arise to the glory of Gods free grace I. They say that God never inflicts punishment upon the Eloct for their sinnes This is directly against the Word of God and a very dangerous Doctrine to be taught for if we look upon the dearest of Gods people we shall finde them often under the rod for their sins The Israelites to whom God saith that he is the Lord their God Levit. 26.13 and tels them that he will remember the Covenant that he may be their God vers 44.45 Yet for all that in the 14.16 and 18. verses the Lord threatens them that if they sin and forsake his Commandements to do wickedly the Lord will send many plagues upon them and will set his face against them and destroy them by the Enemy And if they go on in their sins the Lord tels them that he will punish them seven times more for the same Who can have greater assurance of being an Elect childe of God then good David had yet because he sinned God often punished him Insomuch that he cried out Lord I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up while I suffer thy terrours I am distracted Thy fierce wrath goeth over me thy terrours have cut me off Psalm 88.15 16. Is not death it selfe a punishment for sin the wages of sin is death saith Paul Rom. 6 23. This Doctrine of thirs is a very nursery for wickednesse and vice for if men may cozen and cheat and under a shew of Religion cloake over their sins with a seeming profession onely if a man be perswaded that God hath Elected him and therefore whatsoever sinnes he committs God will never call him to account for it nor lay any punishment upon him neither in this life nor in the life to come it is no wonder that such a man hearkens to the motives of the flesh to follow that which is evill and so that he can but hide it from the eyes of the world take his fill of sin in Gluttony and Drunkennesse Whoring Cozening and all manner of secret wickednesse If a man be perswaded that God will never call him to reckoning what need he care how he lives so the world see it not like the Heathen who say God is a good master and will not beat them and therefore because they feare the divell they are afraid to offend him but presume upon Gods goodnesse and serve the Devill in all wickednesse II. They say that God is never angry with his children A full place against this errour is Psalm 38.3 There is saith David no soundnesse in my flesh because of thine anger neither is there any rest in my bones b cause of my sin I do wonder what thoughts they have of God who thinke the Almighty to be such a one as will let them live in sin and do any filthinesse before him and yet never once be so much as angry with them surely the Heathen have higher thoughts of their Idolds Can a man endure to see himselfe abused as all men by sin dishonour God and stand by and behold the same and yet not be angry and shall we think that the Great God of Heaven and Earth is not provoked to anger when his children sin against him Nay the truth of it is that by the sins of his own people God is most of all provoked in so much that if they provoked him by such wickednesse as ungodly men do and follow Wine and Wenching and profane liberty God will make his anger smoake against them Psalm 7 4 1. But these Antinomians are like Achemon who was a fellow that lived in all kinde of wickednesse and cruelty oppressing his neghbours by all kinde of injuries and inhumane outrages and thought that no evill could befall him and shortly after he was caught by Hercules as the Poets write of him and hanged by the heeles at his club And let those who have such unworthy conceits of God presume as much as they will of Gods mercy which is very large and gracio●s to those that feare him yet this is certain that if they carry such proud insulting thoughts in their hearts against God if they repent not they shall one day finde not Hercules concerning whom it matters not for the truth of that story but a company of Divels to carry them to Hell and thrust them thither by the head and shoulders III. They say that God sees no sin in his children This is so apparent a blasphemy against Gods truth that it strikes at one of his own Attributes and denies God to be Omniscient for if any thing be hid from his knowledge God cannot be said to be Omniscient He that formed the eye shall not he see he that teacheth man knowledge shall not hee know The Lord knoweth the thoughts of man that they are but vanity Psal 94. The whole Psalme is against them This doctrine of theirs keeps men back from examination of their sinnes and powring out their soules before God by humble and hearty repentance the onely comfort that Christians finde of all intercourses between God and their soules It may be if these men would lay down
