Christ and if he had not been so think you that your Mr. Keith would have said of him That he was a worthy Instrument safe in the hand of him th●● holds the seven Stars and seven Golden Candlesticks 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Cor. p. 111. Now as he who was safe in the hand of 〈◊〉 who holds the seven Stars c. had taught so the Quak●●● following his Doctrine and Example likewise Teach in t●● Year 1696. which is 48 Years after G. F. had that clear sight sense and knowledge of Christ Mr. Penn who all Men will allow must know the bottom of Quakerism as much as your Master makes in his Primitive Christianity this plain and candid Confession page 85. That Jesus Christ took our Nature upon him and was like us in all things Sin excepted that he was Born of the Virgin Mary and Suffered under Pontius Pilate Crucified Dead and Buried Rose again the third day and Ascended into Heaven and sits at the right hand of God in the Power and Majesty of his Father who will one day judge the World by him even that blessed Man Christ Jesus according to their Works Now see if you think the Persons name ought to be mentioned under whom Jesus Christ suffered and also in whose Sepulchre he was when crucified and buried as part of that Faith without which 't is impossible to be saved Mr. Penn hath added that also viz. Pontius Pilate the Roman Governour and Joseph of Arimathea Sir I need add no more Testimonies tho' I could produce perhaps five Thousand from 48. to 1700. of the Quakers in general but especially those of them that have appeared in Print or have been Preachers amongst them of any Note to Confront your unworthy Insinuating against them of being Ignorant of the Incarnation of Christ and all as I perceive grounded upon your own and Wife's Ignorance which if true it was high time for you to launch into another Church to be better taught since you had so long been a Scandal to that you pretended to be a Member of before I must confess some Trees will thrive much the better for being Transplanted but 't is hardly Civil to blame others for your Errors The next Article in order is The Satisfaction and Atone●●nt made unto God the Father by his Obedience and Death on 〈◊〉 Cross For a clear Demonstration that you are either as in the ●●●er part just now mentioned extream Ignorant or else ●ou do the Quakers this Injury to gratifie your Master Keith those word to be sure will not for all the Sanction of his Coat newly put on pass so well as yours and therefore I think you are the more culpable under a shew of more Honesty to vent as much at least Spleen with your Untruth as your Master but I will not do as you have done Reproach and not prove but proceed to Mr. Penn's Words Serious Apology page 146. We believe saith he in One only holy Lord God Almighty and in One Lord Jesus Christ his only Son and express Image of his Substance who took on him Flesh and was in the World and in Life Doctrine Miracles Death Resurrection Ascension and Mediation perfectly did and does continue to do the Will of God To whose holy Life Power Mediation and Blood we only ascribe our Sanctification Justification Redemption and perfect Salvation and we believe in One holy Spirit c. Add to this what he saith Primitive Christianity Revived pag. 89 90. But let my Reader take this along with him That we do acknowledge Christ through his holy Doing and Suffering for being a Son he learned Obedience has obtained Mercy of God his Father for Mankind and that his Obedience has an Influence to our Salvation in all the parts and Branches of it I say we do believe and confess that the active and passive Obedience of Christ Jesus affects our Salvation throughout as well from the Power and Pollution of Sin as from the Guilt Again pag. 77. We do believe that Jesus Christ was our holy Sacrifice and Atonement the Propitiation that he bore our Iniquities and that by his Stripes we were healed of the Wounds Adam gave us in his Fall and that God is Just in Forgiving true Penitents upon the Credit of that holy Offering Christ made of himself to God for us and that what he did and suffered satisfied and pleased God Thus Sir I have proved I think past a doubt tha● the Ignorance of those Truths lay either in your Fam● in particular or in and about Huntingdon and that it sho●●● be so is indeed matter of Shame unto you The next in order is the Resurrection and Ascension of his Body and Person as if Person and Body were two parts into Heaven and his remaining in our Nature at the right hand of God in the Glory of his Father our Head High Priest and Intercessor Sir 't is really matter of Sorrow indeed that You and your Wife should be so long Ignorant of the Resurrection and Ascension of Christ for all that are so I cannot see any hopes they have of any Intercession or Mediation to be made for them for if our Mediator and Intercessor is not ascended into Glory we are under very bad Circumstances indeed as is he that believes not the Resurrection of Christ since he has really Rose for our Justification as he did actually Dye for our Sins And if the Quakers are Ignorant hereof I pity them with all my Heart but I am not willing to conclude them so because you were so I cannot forbear thinking your Ignorance surely is owing to being led by or keeping too much Company with some silly Woman or Women Now for proof that you abuse them because of your Ignorance I would advise you to read Serious Apology 1st Part printed 1671. by G. Whitehead pag. 33 34. It seem'd Jenner was of the Mind that Christ's Body now in Heaven is a Natural Body and it looks as if you were of the same Mind by these words Remaining in our Nature which is an absurd Notion to think Christ is now in Heaven in our Nature for our Nature is Corruptable and very much depraved so that we are as the Apostle said by Nature Children of Wrath and would you have Christ exist in such a Nature in Heaven Upon which absurdity G. Whitehead well observes that the Scriptures do not say That Christ's Glorified Body in Heaven is a Natural Body for if Christ's Body be Natural or Humane now in Heaven whose Body is it that is Spiritual and Glorious Or is he one ●●●ritual Head of two Bodies the one Natural the other ●●iritual But saith G. W. The Apostle said He Christ shall ●hange our low Bodies and make them like his Glorious Body here you see 't is plain ours is Low that is Natural c. his is Glorious c. and this G. Whitehead owns and that he is Glorified with the Father with the same Glory he had before the World began But
