Farnsworth way to the Father for Christ in Dying for Sinners and Ungodly died for all for was not all Sinners and Ungodly guilty of Christ's Death but it is by his Blood that we are Justified and by his Life that we are Saved In following his Counsel and obeying him through the Cross which slays the Enmity as he became obedient to the Death of the Cross who is our Leader and Example and is the Author of Eternal Salvation to all that obey him but none else We believe that all things which are spoken by the Holy A new Catechism 1664. By W. Smith Prophets and Apostles concerning Christ are true according to the Scriptures We believe that all the Dispensations of God which are manifested by the Scriptures are altogether true and that they were all fulfilled according to the determinate Will and Counsel of God So that our Faith concerning Christ in us and the Work which he there worketh for us doth not all make void any of the Dispensations of God which in times past were revealed unto his Holy Prophets and Apostles and by them testified in the Scriptures so that the Work which the Father then gave unto the Son to do we believe that he fulfilled according to the Father's Will and that all things pertaining to Life and Salvation were FULLY and PERFECTLY in him and that he humbled himself to the Death of the Cross and from Death did rise again And we believe that he is the Resurrection and the Life and gives Eternal Life to all that believe in him P. 19 20. We Believe and Testifie that this Jesus of Nazaretio Rebellion Rebuked c. 167. by John Crook and William Bayly wrought out fulfilled all Righteousness in his Obedience both in DOING and SUFFERING the Holy Law and Will of God and that this Righteousness so wrought out and fulfilled was not for himself but for or because of all such as truly seeing they have no Covering or Righteousness of their own flee unto and lay hold of him and his Everlasting Righteousness by a True and Living Faith We Believe and Testifie That his Blood exceeds not only the Blood of Bulls and of Goats but the Blood of the best Man or Men that ever was or shall be in the World And we do in the sight of God really own the Blood of the Son of Man both according to the History and in the Mystery as we do his Cross both as Shed for us and to be Drank by us both as bespeaking Remission of Sin past through Faith in it and as Sprinkling the Conscience of True Believers and Cleansing them from all Sin But because we Testifie that it 's not the Notion or bare Historical and Literal Belief of those things that Justifie or make us Really free from that which comes upon every Soul of Man that doth Evil whether Jew or Gentile Professor or Prophane but only the Life and Virtue of this Blood received into the Heart by that Living Faith which Christ alone is the Author of Therefore are we Branded with Slighting the Blood of the Man Christ c. though we Testifie our Esteem thereof both in the History and in the Mystery and that without the Life and Virtue of this Blood there is no Remission P. 9. Therefore we do Confess to his Sufferings according Truths Vindication c. 1679. Eliz. Bathurst to the Scriptures for Christ also hath once Suffered for Sin the Just for the Unjust that he might bring us to God being put to Death in the Flesh but Quickened in the Spirit we 1 Peter 3. 18. own his Death as an Acceptable and most Satisfactory Sacrifice to God for the Sins of all and is of Blessed Advantage to all that receive Faith in his Blood Whom God hath set forth to be a Propitiation through Rom. 3. 25. Eph. 5. 2. his Blood to declare his Righteousness for the Remission of Sins that are past through the Forbearance of God and he hath given himself for us an Offering and a Sacrifice to God for a Sweet Smelling Savour Also we Believe that as Christ Died for our Sins so he was Buried likewise and rose again according to the Scriptures But now is Christ 1 Cor. 15. 3 4. 20. 21. Risen from the Dead and become the first Fruits of them that Sleep For since by Man came Death by Man came also the Resurrection of the Dead The Apostle mentions this as the Assurance which God gave to Men of his Judging the World at the Great Day by his Son Jesus Christ namely Acts 17. 31. his having Raised him from the Dead P. 31 32. And the Preaching of this Jesus Powerful Shepherd and A Mirrour c. 1683. by Sam.

P. 11 12. It is objected against us who are called Quakers That Concerning the Sum or Substance c. Isaac Pennington we deny Christ and look not to be Saved by him as he was manifested without us but look only to be Saved by a Christ in us To which this is in my Heart to answer to such as singly desire satisfaction therein We do indeed expect to be Saved yea and not only so but do already in our several measures witness Salvation by the Revelation and Operation of the Life of Christ within us yet not without relation to what he did without us For all that he did in that Body of Flesh was of the Father and had its Place and Service in the Will and according to the Counsel of the Father But the Knowledge and Belief of that since the days of the Apostles hath been very much held in the Unrighteousness and in the Separation from the Inward Work of the Power and Life of Christ in the Heart which as so held cannot Save any But whoever feels the Light and Life of Christ revealed in him and comes into Union with God there-through he feels the Work of Regeneration of Sanctification of Justification of Life and Redemption and so comes to reap Benefit inwardly and to partake of the Blessed Fruits of all that Christ did outwardly Yea he that is thus one with Christ in the Spirit cannot exclude himself nor is excluded by God from the Advantage of any thing nor every thing that Christ did in that Body of Flesh P. 243. The Doctrines and Principles of the People called Immediate Revelation c. By Geo. Keith Quakers as well as the People do indeed more acknowledge the Man Christ Jesus than any of them all Inasmuch as we do believe and acknowledge that a measure of the same Life and Spirit of the Man Christ Jesus which dwelt in him in its Fullness and had its Center in him which came in the Flesh and was born of the Virgin Mary and is now glorified in Heaven is communicated unto us and extends it self into our Hearts and Souls and whole Inward Man so that the Man Jesus who Simeon imbraced with his Arms according to the Flesh is according to the Spirit our Life and Glory by whom we receive Light Grace and Truth and through whom we have access unto God P. 358. Yet notwithstanding for your Satisfaction we do now Journal Geo. Fox plainly and sincerely declare That we Own and Believe in God the Only Wise Omnipotent and Everlasting God who is the Creator of all things both in Heaven and in the Earth and the Preserver of all that he hath made who is God over all Blessed for ever To whom be all Honour and Glory Dominion Praise and Thanksgiving both now and for evermore And we do Own and Believe in Jesus Christ his beloved and only begotten Son in whom he is well pleased who was Conceived by the Holy Ghost and Born of the Virgin Mary in whom we have Redemption through his Blood even the Forgiveness of Sins Who is the express Image of the Invisible God the First-born of every Creature by whom were all things created that are in Heaven and that are in Earth Visible and Invisible whether they be Thrones or Dominions or Principalities or Powers all things were Created by him And we do Own and Believe that He was made a Sacrifice for Sin who knew no Sin neither was Guile found in his Mouth And that he was Crucified for us in the Flesh without the Gates of Jerusalem and that he was Buried and Rose again the Third day by the Power of his Father for our Justification And we do Believe that he ascended up into Heaven and now sitteth at the right Hand of God This Jesus who was the Foundation of the Holy Prophets and Apostles is our Foundation And we do Believe that there is no other Foundation to be laid but that which is laid even Christ Jesus who we Believe tasted Death for every Man and shed his Blood for all Men and is the Propitiation for our Sins and not for ours only but also for the Sins of the whole World P. 149. We do Believe in One Only Holy God Almighty who A Serious Apology c. 1671. By G. Whitehead and W.

HIS next Calumny in the order of his Charge is That we deny the Truth and Reality of his Death and Sufferings In proof of our Belief whereof I am already in good part prevented by the foregoing Testimonies in almost all of which there is some mention of his Crucifixion as well as of his Birth But however I am content to answer exabundanti not wanting Instances of our Belief herein from whence I can allow Measure pressed down and running over Some Testimonies to the Truth and Reality of Christ's Death and Suffering Page 3.
