A33370 A paradisical dialogue betwixt faith and reason disputing the high mysterious secrets of eternity, the like never extant in our revelation. As touching God in eternity, how he became time in flesh, and how he dyed in the grave, and ascended to his glory again. Also what the angels are in form and nature, and how the angel became a devil, and that devil man; and that this world was prepared for the devil, so this the devils kingdom; and what the soul is, with the place of its glory and torment. With a brief narration what a commission is, and how many commissions there are; what the difference of their worships, and how that the law was given to the devil; with a brief discourse on the catechism, the Lords Prayer, and the creeds; as also, a divine prospect to the elect of the Lord. Written by Law. Claxton, the onely true bishop and faithful messenger of Christ Jesus, creator of heaven and earth. Claxton, Laurence, 1615-1667. 1660 (1660) Wing C4581; ESTC R215220 88,691 122

pierce_v through_o her_o secret_n as_o thou_o say_v in_o a_o moment_n and_o yet_o not_o be_v see_v by_o any_o nor_o she_o stand_v amaze_v yea_o tremble_v in_o fear_n at_o so_o sudden_a appearance_n

of_o it_o what_o thou_o please_v yet_o this_o i_o will_v assure_v thou_o that_o god_n and_o christ_n be_v not_o two_o but_o one_o for_o what_o necessity_n be_v there_o for_o god_n to_o have_v a_o

all_o eternal_a and_o yet_o not_o three_o but_o one_o eternal_a now_o let_v the_o wise_a headpiece_n of_o thy_o seed_n answer_v i_o from_o these_o word_n whether_o thou_o intend_v the_o father_n be_v

i_o tell_v thou_o thy_o faith_n shall_v perish_v eternal_o reason_n i_o acknowledge_v every_o person_n by_o himself_o to_o be_v god_n and_o lord_n and_o yet_o i_o say_v there_o be_v not_o three_o
