A66360	Ho Antichristos the great antichrist revealed, before this time never discovered, and proved to be neither pope, nor Turk, nor any single person, nor the succession of any one monarch or tyrant in any policies, but a collected pack, or multitude of hypocritical, heretical, blasphemous, and most scandalous wicked men that have fulfilled all the prophesies of the Scriptures ... and especially have united ... together by a solemn league and covenant to slay the two witnesses of God, Moses and Aaron ... that is, the supreme magistrate of the Commonwealth, and the chief pastors and governours of the Church of Christ, and the Christian world is requested to judge whether the Assembly of Presbyterians consulting at Westminster, together with the independents, Anabaptists, and lay-preachers be not the false prophet ... and whether the prevalent faction of the long Parliament ... that killed the two witnesses of Jesus Christ, 1. Charles the First ... 2. William Laud ... be not the grosse and visible body of the same antichrist / by Gr. Williams.	Williams, Gryffith, 1589?-1672.	1660 (1660)	Wing W2662; ESTC R25201	504,825	313

God maketh because it is better to be a just man than to be a man But we ascribe nothing to our selves but all to our Saviour Christ when we say with the Apostle that we are justified freely by his blood Rom. 5.9 And so we make our justification perfect because it is Christs and our Sanctification we acknowledge to be imperfect because it is ours for that it is done by us though by the help and assistance of the Grace and Spirit of Christ And therefore you see the difference to be so great as it is to say Christ justifieth us by his righteousness made ours by Faith and to say we justifie our selves or are justified by our own inherent righteousness or good works the former we reach to the praise of God and glory of Christ and that no man should boast of any thing that is in himself and the latter the Church of Rome stiffly defendeth to the praise as we conceive of themselves and that they might boast in the Lord as Bellarmine saith and so exalt themselves herein like Babylon in pride against the Lord as we say 3. In the point of Satisfaction they are as injurious to Christ 3. In the point of Satisfaction as in the other point of our Justification For though our blessed Saviour Jesus Christ by the shedding of his most precious blood and the suffering of the most bitter and accursed death of the Cross hath made there by his own oblation of himself once offered a full The excellent confession of our Church herein perfect and sufficient Sacrifice oblation and satisfaction for the sins of the whole world as our Church doth most Christianly confess in our Lyturgy Yet the Council of Trent doth affirm that by this satisfaction of Christ made upon the Altar of his Cross the fault is only pardoned but the punishment is not remitted until that by our own Penance and other sufferings it be fully satisfied for But because this seemeth too reproachful to the Justice of God to remit the fault and yet to inflict the punishment which would be nothing else but a meer mockery as if a King should say to a Traytor I will forgive thee thy Treason but thy Head must be cut off for a punishment therefore the Learned Cardinal wiser than the rest Bellar. l. 1. c. 4. de indulgentiis distinguisheth betwixt the temporary and the eternal punishment of our sins and he yields the eternal punishment to be fully satisfied for by Christ but the temporary punishment he saith must be discharged and satisfied for by our selves that is by our penance and other sufferings and satisfaction But I answer that if this were true then must it needs impeach that 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 the great propitiatory Sacrifice which Christ hath offered for our sins of some great imperfection because it was but in part and for a part and not for all and we must needs thereby conclude that either Christ could not discharge us from these temporal punishments or else could and would not do it but to say either of these is most injurious unto Christ For to say he could not do it denieth his Power that is Almighty and to say he would not do it is to deprave his Goodness who is goodness it self And indeed this dimidiatory satisfaction were to cross the very Rules of reason that he which had done so much for us John 1.18 Phil. 2.7 as to descend from the Bosom of his Father to take upon him 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 the form of a Servant and to suffer the most bitter death of the Cross to make satisfaction for our sins and to deliver us from eternal vengeance and the wrath of God would be unwilling to satisfie his Father for our temporal punishment especially when it would cost him no more to satisfie for all than for part of all nay when as the satisfaction made by Christ is of far more worth than the Justice of God could require for all the punishments we had or could deserve quia modicam guttam sanguinis Christi propter unionem hypostaticam pro redemptione totius mundi sufficisse necesse est because it must needs be that the least drop of Christ his bloud by reason of the hypostatical union of the manhood of Christ with the Godhead should be sufficient to make satisfaction to the wrath of God and to procure the redemption of the whole world as St. Clemens saith and therefore this partition of satisfaction is both false and frivolous But you will object that God pardoned the guilt of Davids sin and yet he inflicted a punishment upon him for his fault and so he did and doth upon many others of his chosen Saints and dearest Children I Answer and confess that many times after the offence is remitted we see punishments inflicted upon the Offendor Why God inflicteth punishment after the fault is remitted but we say that is not to satisfie the Justice of God for that sin for which Christ hath fully satisfied but to amend us and to confirm us unto God that is not to make satisfaction unto God for the sns that are past but to be for a prevention unto us against all other sins that are to come and would otherwise be acted by us And this is the end for which we perswade men to fast and pray and to perform all the exercises of true Penance to shew the fruits and truth of their repentance for their sins past and offending God and to declare the willingness of their minds to do any Service and to undergo any labour and patiently to suffer any cross or disaster that might any waies be available for the prevention of all sins to come But to say that any penance or punishment imposed by the Priest or voluntarily assumed by our selves should any way satisfie Gods wrath for our sins committed against him we do utterly deny and detest as a most derogatory Doctrine to the all-sufficient satisfaction of Christ And the truth of this Doctrine sufficiently sheweth No need of Purgatory that there is no need and there can be no place nor use of any Purgatory to make satisfaction for sins after this life 4. 4. In the Doctrine of Merits In their Doctrine of Merit they exceed in Pride above all the rest For though our Saviour tells us that when we have done all what we can we are but unprofitable Servants and far short of what we should be And the Apostle plainly saith that by Grace we are saved through Faith Eph. 2.8,9 and that not of your selves it is the gift of God not of works lest any man should boast And the Holy Fathers are plentiful in the justifying of this point and teach quod sufficit ad meritum scire quod non sufficiunt merita that it sufficeth us to know that no merits can avail us any thing to merit any thing at the hands of God but the Merits
