Gentiles was not enlightened Answ. Then by what shall those Gentiles be condemned who are not enlightened seeing that Christ was given for a light to the Gentiles as the Prophet Isaiah saith but he doth not say to some of the Gentiles and not to the whole body and though the Gentiles were once darknesse Eph 5. yet the light shined in the darkness and the Apostle turned them unto that light which shined in the darknesse that the eye which was blinded might be opened he did not come to give them eyes but to open the blind eyes not to give them light but to turn them to the light that was in them as Acts 26. 18. Pr. That the Gospel is an external Light and not invisible and that it is not the light within Answ. Which is contrary to the Apostles doctrine which saith the Gospel is the power of God Rom. 1. which is not external nor visible but invisible and shined in their hearts 2 Cor. 4. 6. and it was hid unto those that were lost but that which was visible they could see and hear with the visible eyes and ears but both the Gospel which is the power of God and the eye that sees are invisible Pr. That Christ being the propitiation for the sins of the whole world as John said 1 John 2 2 Is meant onely the world of believers Answ. In this he would break the Scriptures and contradict the Apostle which saith he is the propitiation for our sins and not for our sins onely who were the believers but for the sins of the whole World which whole World John said lyes in wickedness but the whole World of believers lyes not in wickednesse but is of God Pr. That they must reconcile the Scriptures Answ. The Scriptures cannot be broken John 10. 35. but is reconciled and at unity in themselves and in all those that know them but he that gives two contrary meanings to one Scripture he doth not go about to reconcile but rather to pervert them and to take away the plain testimony of truth which they give from peoples understandings but the key of knowledge is found again which opens the Scriptures in the mystery of them and herein is the ignorance of teachers and people in saying the Scriptures are not reconciled It is they that are not reconciled to God nor the Scriptures and so they utter forth their blindness ignorance and errour Pr. That the Law of the Spirit of life in Christ was not the Law of the spirit in the Saints but that they were two Laws c. Answer This is a false distinction for God hath said that he will write his law in their hearts and put his spirit in their inward parts and the same law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus being in the Apostles hearts had set him free from the Law of sin and death Rom. 8. 2 so it was not two lawes but one Law Pr. That there are two righteousnesses of Christ the one without the Saints to justifie them and the other within the Saints that did sanctifie them Answ. Christs righteousnesse is but one and that by which they were both sanctified and justified was but one thing even the Spirit of our God 1 Cor. 6. 11. and Christ in them was Gods righteousnesse and the hope of Glory who was made unto them righteousness and if Christ was in them then his righteousnesse was in them or else he and his righteousnesse is divided as this Priests doctrine would make them Pr. The said Priest denied that the Saints were justified by that Christ that was in them when he was questioned about it Answ. If they were not justified by that Christ that was in them then by another Christ which is no less then to Preach two Christ's and so he hath preached another Gospel then the Apostles preached which whosoever doth is accursed Pr. That David when he was guilty of adultery and murther was not in a condemned state but in a justified state Answ. Here he would make God a justifier of the wicked in his wickednesse but in that state David was condemned of the Lord and suffered his anger and terrors when his iniquities went over his head and were too heavy for him to bear and he was not justified until that thorow judgement he was redeemed from the guilt of murther and adultery and other sins which came over his head so such teachers as he who would have God account them just who are unjust and them holy who are unholy and unrighteous are as the false Prophets who put no difference between the holy and prophane and spoke peace to the wicked where there was no peace counting them good who did evil saying they that doe evil are good in the sight of the Lord Mal. 3. 15. as the Priests now say though they be sinners yet they are righteous in Gods account so they would make God a lyar accounting men to be that which they are not and to be in Christ when they are in sin in the Devils work Pr. And concerning them in Heb. 12. who were come unto the spirits of just men made perfect he said it was meant that they were in Heaven and not upon Earth Answ. Thus by his false meanings he hath often perverted the Scriptures calling his false meanings the meanings of the Holy-Ghost but these mentioned in Heb 12 were them the Apostle wrote unto upon earth for he did not write to men after they were deceased and these that he wrote unto were come unto the innumerable company of Angels and to the city of the living God and to the spirits of just men made perfect Pr. That any creature that holds that principle of being justified by a righteousnesse within living and dying in that principle cannot come to heaven Ans Christ is the justifier of them that believe in him and his doctrine is I in them and they in me so Christ and his righteousnesse is in the Saints and God hath brought in the everlasting righteousnesse which justifieth which is not at a distance separate from the Saints as these false teachers have Imagined And the Apostles doctrine and principle is Christs in you which whosoever liveth and dyeth in this comes to heaven but on the contrary whosoever hath not Christ and his righteousnesse in them to justifie them cannot come to heaven Pr. That that which fitted man for the inheritance among the Saints did not intitle to the inheritance or not give them a part in the inheritance Answ. This is contrary to the Apostles doctrine for he thanks God the Father who made them meet to be partakers of the inheritance with the Saints in light Col 1. ●● for he both fitted them for the inheritance and did intitle and give them a part in the inheritance translating them into the Kingdom of his dear Son verse 13. Pr. That we cannot contain an Infinite righteousnesse in us Ans Then you cannot contain the righteousnesse of God for it is
