concernment of his Soul in the embracement or rejection of the truth no less then in his eternal greatest good or evill and to bring him into dislike or at least into a doubt of that erroneous and impious way that he embraced as being uncorrespondent and unsatisfactory to that which is and needs must be the aim of every wise and serious man in the choice or embracement of any Religion which is a well grounded hope and succeeding attainment of the salvation of his Soul in another world and here in this life the peace of a good Conscience next to the glory and honour of God which as it was shewed him could not be found without a remedy for sin which exposed unto Gods wrath and to eternal death and condemnation And that there could be no remedy for this deadly disease but by a satisfaction to Gods Justice That Mercy and Truth might meet together and Righteousness and Peace might kiss each other which remedy or satisfaction was not at all offered in that Religion that he embraced He said that God gave pardon upon repentance but it was shewed him that his repentance and the repentance of all others was imperfect and no man was so cleared thereby from sin but that there would still need a satisfaction for the failings even of repentance and of the best ordered life that is to be found amongst men in this life That this satisfaction is clearly and fully offered in the Christian Religion in the blood and sufferings and righteousness of Christ Jesus who being God and Man and the eternal Son of God became a fit Mediator between God and Man and offered himself a sufficient Sacrifice unto the Divine Justice for the sins of the whole World The benefit whereof as it is proposed in the Gospel unto repentance and to all true penitent sinners so it is to be received onely from and in Christ Jesus and by the true faith of the Gospel Upon this discourse or to this purpose with some other which I cannot well now remember he seemed to be something startled and to doubt whether the ground whereon he stood was sound or no And as I remember expressed some desire that God would direct him to the Truth Some further Argumenrs were used to discover yet further unto him not onely the insufficiency but the impiety and vanity and great uncertainty of that Religion he had embraced as that which countenanced cruelty and oppression was carried on by violence and carnal ways and proposed low and carnal delights for the reward below the excellency of the spiritual Soul of Man Countenanced wickedness as Impurity and Revenge and proceeded from a person of a carnal and lascivious temper and conversation who pretended a more then ordinary Commission and allowance for lust as a priviledge belonging to him as the great Prophet That pretended indeed revelation from Heaven but had no testimony from God to commend it to the Souls of men but depended upon the bare assertion of Mahomet which if he be considered in the singleness of his person being a man subject to error as well as others especially if he be considered in his lascivious and wicked quality and condition is too sandy a foundation and of more then much too weak a credit that the venture of the eternal good and safety of one single Soul should be committed thereto much less of many millions or of the whole world That it was a Religion stuffed with monstrous lies and legends as may be seen by those things that have been set down Whereas on the other side the Christian Religion hath upon it the very stamp of Gods image which is his seal in the high excellent mysterious and spiritual wisdom too high for humane Imposture in any likelihood to invent since it is so far too high for humane Wisdom or Understanding even since it is revealed to conceive which is exactly answerable and uniform and correspondent to it self in all the members and parts thereof which all make up a sweet and excellent tune and harmony amongst themselves without any jar or discord between them and all the Writers thereof though being many and living in many and several Ages and places were forbidden thereby to conspire in falshood with one another wherein there must needs have been much boggling in matters so high above humane reason and comprehension if there had not been an infallible rule of divine Light and Truth to guide and unite them together at so great a distance Besides the wonderful and excellent consent that is between the Types and Prophesies and the fulfilled events thereof The former whereof are for the most part consigned over unto us by the Jews professed enemies unto the Christian Truth who maintain themselves and have delivered over unto us the predictions the completions whereof yet themselves now deny And so it is fulfilled of that blinded Nation of the Jews that is said by one I know not whom of them that it is Asinus portanus vinum bibens aquam An Ass that carrieth wine and drinketh water They carry the wine of the holy Prophesies and drink the water of their own foolish and malicious mis-interpretations and traditions It hath the stamp of the Divine wisdom and goodness upon it in that holy policy established in the bond of Divine and Christian Love whereby it unites all in the love of God and in a mutual love unto and a mutual charge of one another and of all men even greatest Enemies in all their concernments and in holy peace providing for all and carrying on all things with a heavenly and publick spirit so that if it were but generally embraced it would make the world happy and establish a kinde of Heaven upon Earth when every man should have a care of another as of himself in soul and spiritual good in matter of Life Estate Health Reputation and all other matters wherein their good is concerned whereby that wicked voice of Cain which crieth so loud in the hearts and practices of the world would be silenced and excluded out of the society of mankinde Am I my Brothes keeper since it maketh all men keepers of one another and teacheth all to take care of the publike good of all and thereby enlargeth the riches and content of all particulars teaching them to joy and delight in the good and blessing of others as well as their own It hath the stamp of Gods Holiness and Righteousness upon it in the utter opposition that it hath unto all sin in the admirable and perfect rules of Justice and Piety and purity which it establisheth both in regard of inward motions thoughts and affections and in outward carriage and conversation of life setting up the right mark before us which is Gods glory and eternal happiness in him to be pursued by all in all thoughts words and actions in all their Offices Trades and Vocations so bringing in the whole life of man to be an holy sacrifice
