he should see him at the last day whether if Christ be not Christ in person what is become of the Patriarks and Prophets since for salvation on him they put their trust explain Since in his body as the scriptures say he bore our sins and carried our griefs and was smitten for our transgressions through whose stripes we are healed for that God laid on him the iniquity of us all whether he be to be beleived for Christ in this his personal capacity according to the Scriptures or that the light in the conscience a measure of which every man hath that is born into the world be he the Christ of which nothing in the Scriptures explain for that the Scriptures say that by the death of the body upon the cross he reconciled us unto God and that he foretold his death and that he would raise it up from death in three days VVhether Christ as he is King Preist and Prophet whom God hath made higher then the Heavens be the Christ that appeared to his disciples after his resurrection from the dead in that body he bid them handle and see saying it is I myself for a spirit hath not flesh and bones as I have or the light in your consciences is the Christ that God hath exalted higher then the Heavens as King Priest and Prophet explain And in that Christ was transfigured in his Apostles sight with the appearance of Moses and Elias on the Mount whether was he transfigured as Christ in his person without them or was it the light in his Apostles consciences within them explain Since they said Master it is good that we stay here let us make three Tabernacles one for Thee one for Moses and one for Elias And in that it is said concerning Christs ascention while he was speaking these things he was taken up and a cloud received him out of their sight and this same Jesus shall so come in like manner as you have seen him go into Heaven whom the Heaven must receive until the time of restitution of all things whether he thus ascended be not now Christ the glorified of the Father WITHOUT us as well as he was Christ when he was upon earth WITHOUT them explain And in that he said I ascend to my Father and your Father to my God and to your God whether he spoke of himself as the Christ personal in â— body without them or of a Christ you call light within you explain â—or that the faith of his Disciples was on him as Christ without them â—s their Doctrine by the Scriptures at large doth show And if the light that was in his Apostles consciences was not Christ but he their Master who taught them to beleive on him to be 〈◊〉 the Christ that believing they might be saved whether you by affirming that the witness in you is Christ which witness you call light â—e not a Christ of your inventions and ANOTHER CHRIST â—hen what is the Christ of God explain And in that it saith he that hath not the spirit of Christ is none of his and that none can receive the spirit but he who beleiveth on Christ who is the giver of the spirit whether the spirit you walk by is the spirit of Christ or the power of Magick explain since you deny him to be the Christ that in his pâ—rson was the offering for sin and the Saviour of the world and instead of him set up the light of nature to be the Christ and its power for your Saviour Whether the revelation that was given to John was given by Christ the glorified of the Father in his person in heaven or from Johns light in his conscience John being on earth explain Whether the Lamb that sits upon the throne of the antient of days who was dead and is alive and lives for evermore be Christ and giver of eternal life to them that believe and follow him in the regeneration or the light in conscience a measure whereof every man hath that cometh into the world be Christ explain for that the light in every mans conscience is the light of creation but the gift of God is the spirit of Christ that brings unto the travelling soul the light of Christ by revelation according to the promise through beleiving on him Whether the blood of Christ that attoned for man with God was blood quatenus blood from and off his humanity or the life of Christ as Christ is God is it without the blood of his humanity the attoner explain and if it be the life in Christ as Christ is God that attones and the blood of Christ as Christ is man not that that doth attone show how the life of God is blood and unto what use it served his shedding of the blood of his man-hood Whether the righteousness of Christ that Christ puts upon his Saints be not the righteousness of Faith by believing on him as justifier from his perfect obedience to God by his fulfilling the requirings of God in the Law explain for that it is written blessed is the â—â—rn whose sins are pardoned and whose iniquities are covered again blessed is the man to whom God imputeth not sin Quaeries upon the fifth page WHether since you say that God hath so loved the World that he hath given his only begotten Son to dye for the World that they â—â—at believe on him should not perish but have everlasting Life whether â—hat Son of God be Christ that the Angels told the Shepherds was that â—ay born for a Saviour whom they should find laid in a manger who was wrapt up in swadling cloaths whose name God said should be called Jesus or is the light in conscience that within you he explain Whether he that was conceived of the Holy Ghost and born of the Virgin Mary as he persona ly walked upon the Earth in substance of a Man be Christ and the only begotten Son of God and Mans Saviour is thus he was without them or is the light in conscience the Christ and the Saviour as it is light in conscience within man explain Whether Christ or the Apostles at any time taught the light in man for the Christ and the Saviour or Christ the man in person without them for the Christ and Saviour explain Whether Christ that came into the VVorld to save the World who while he was in the World was the light of the World being gone out of the World unto his Father be not now the light of the World by the ministration of preaching through the operation of his Spirit as he was the light of the world when in the world by the ministration of preaching of his death sufferings and resurrecition explain Since his being in the world was to work Salvation for the world by his death and being gone out of the world now manifests the Salvation which while being in the world he wrought being risen from the dead Whether the Faith of Gods elect that purifieth the heart and giveth
victory over the world is not the hand that receiveth the power by believing on Christ the giver of the grace to beget us unto God childreâ— of the Kingdom or is it by believing the witness in man which yoâ— call the light in conscience which is but the spirit of man that which Solomon calls the Candle of the Lord that gives victory over the worlâ— in the heart explain Whether the Holy Ghost that proceeds from the Father and thâ— Son as proceeding from Father and Son be in the efflux both Fatheâ— and Son explain Since you deny in print three subsistences in the one divine essence and that they are not distinct in their operations as three father word and spirit Whether the water blood and spirit that bore witness to Christ oâ— earth were properties of his humanity or of his divinity explain And if of his divine natue and not of his humane what was it of Ghrist that cryed upon the cross My God my God why hast thou forsaken me Since the Scriptures say that it behoved the Christ to dye and it being unpossible for God to dye whether the light in conscience which you call Christ be the Christ that so dyed or the person be the Christ that dyed explain Whether since there is but one Gospel is it the power of the light in conscience according to your Doctrine or is it the death buriall and resurrection of Christ according to the Scriptures yea or nay explain Whether the price that bought man to God be the blood of Christs person since it was of the body God prepared to do his will or was it the life of God in that body that was blood explain And if the life of the Godhead is blood show us how it came to be blood since without blood there is no remission Whether the Lamb that purchased his Church by his own blood to present it without spot to God was Jesus of whom the Prophet said he was led as a Lamb to the slaughter and as a sheep before the shearers he opened not his mouth Or the light in man is this Christ off whom the Prophet spake explain For that of him in his personal appearance John the Baptist said behold the Lamb of God that takes away the sins of the World Whether the word without Maries substance for his body is the whole Christ or the word with the substance taken of Mary be the Christ explain For of Christ the Scipture speaks in two distinctions as of two natures in the acting though one in conjunction in the act as he is the word God in Christ and as man Christ in whom God was as written god was in Christ reconciling and Christ him by whom the world was reconciled to God and the word being one with and in Christ whether the whole Christ through the words assuming the humane Nature to his divine be not God the divine and humane nature making up the whole person of Christ explain And since it is written of the Son thy Throne O God is for ever and ever a scepter of righteousness is the scepter of thy Kingdom thou hast loved righteousness and hated iniquity therefore God even thy God hath anointed thee with the oyl of gladness above thy fellows whether this Son of God is he that took upon him in his person for mans redemption the state of a servant accounting it no robbery to be equal with God and his fellow or is it the light in conscience you say is Christ who is this exalted Man Gods fellow whose throne is for ever explain But for your asserting of many Scriptures that relate to Christ for the redemption of man I know no professors that deny them as they teach faith to him the Son of God But your bringing them to colour your selves in your opinion of the light in you to be the Christ that I suppose they do deny and bring them for a witness against you for your convincement And I having this knowledge see not wherein you are wronged in being charged to deny God and Christ in a place above stars Sun Moon and Elements since what is said by you to the contrary speaks not of place but power and your saying you own his ascention and yet denyed his personal body to be ascended puts me upon this Quaery Whether you own Christ as a person ascended up into a Heaven that is a place of residence whereinto he is ascended far above stars Sun Moon and Elements explain From the 5 page to the 8 I pass over being but the same spoke to before But that you say in the 8 page Christ is the true light that enleightneth every man that comes into the world you err not knowing the Scriptures for they say not that Christ made all things for that as Christ is man he is made but as the manhood is united to the word who is God and that the two natures in Christ are not to be divided so it may be said that he made them by his head and the head of Christ is God For we find no where in Scripture that it is said of Christ as he is Man of the Virgin Mary that in him was the life that inlightneth every Man but in reference to the word that dwelt bodily in him From whence we quaery whether this Christ of whom John said was the Christ be he or the light in Man the Christ that G. F. saith is the Christ explain and if the Christ that G. F. saith is the Christ be he I desire to know of G. F or his Disciples what is become of the Christ whom the Scriptures bears record to be he Since you deny him in heaven the exalted of God for his Christ in a person Whether since you say it is the light that enlightneth every Man that comes into the world and the light is Christ by this assertion is not the light God and God the Christ explain And if the light be God and God is Christ and not the person the Christ then when Christ dyed was it not God that dyed and him that was nailed upon the Cross explain Since it is written of him that is the Saviour that by death he destroyed him that had the power of death to wit the Devil And if it was God that dyed and buried as dead who or what was there in Heaven or in Earth that did or could raize up God from the dead explain And your saying that with the light they saw the blood of Christ I say they did For he whose Testimony is true was by when the Lord was put to death who saith That which we have seen with our eyes and looked upon and handled with our hands and have heard from the beginning declare we unto you that your fellowship may be with us and our fellowship is with the Father and the Son in the light Therefore whether by the light in Man doth Man come to see Christ and his blood in himself
