A Sermon preached Jan. 30. last by Canon Gilbert in Plimouth with a tedious Preface of Mr. J. Y. Haud timeo si jam nequeam defendere crimen Cum tanto commune viro Vlys Gen. 19.7 I pray Brethren do not so wickedly LONDON Printed and are to be sold by A. Baldwin in Warwick-lane 1699. A Friendly Epistle to Esquire Edwards concerning his Defence of Dr. Crisp against the just Charge of Mr. Edwards of Cambridg that Orthodox moderate Conformist GREAT SIR THAT you are a Gentleman a studious one and of unusual Accomplishments natural and acquired cannot and therefore shall not be denied but chearfully granted by me I meddle not with your late large Book with its superfluous Branches Baxterianism Barefac'd for which fault Dr. Chamry was against its publication as we are credibly informed I and other zealous Anti-Baxterians are both troubled and ashamed when we see 1. That any Advocate for Dr. Crisp should thus appear against Baxterianism For which sound Calvinists will give you no thanks knowing you often oppose not Error with Truth You confirm these Men in their Notions when they read your more wild ones 2. That you in that Book drop such words as these They the Baxterians like the Writers against Dr. Crisp mistake Mens sense and misrepresent their words Thus you became rather their Compurgator than Censurer 3. That you should charge Mr. Baxter as a Writer against sound Conformists and Nonconformists about Justification c. and yet vindicate Dr. Crisp much more corrupt than he and more opposite to the Authors you cite This fills us all with amazement that you so strangely forget your self 4. That you have impos'd on us in citing some Authors against Mr. Baxter particularly Bishop Vsher's Body of Divinity p. 58. when it is well known Bishop Vsher told Dr. Bernard on his Death-bed He was not the Author of that Book but that much of it was taken out of Mr. Crook 's Catechism That there were excellent things in it and if any one would be at the pains to cut off some Excrescencies and make some good Additions he might take the credit of the whole See Bishop Vsher's Life By the way was it like a Disputant to write against Mr. Baxter's Doctrin of Vniversal Redemption to tell us plainly That you never saw that Book of his bearing that Title tho you heard it was printed since his death Yes by Mr. Read Again you bring in Mr. Baxter's Objections Christ did not for us do the Duty of a Husband or Wife or Father and cite Mr. Traughton to less purpose when you might do it to better P. 116. Christ says that blind seeing Man that had the Eyes of Angels tho not of Cats and Dogs was habitually dispos'd to do all the Work and perform every Duty for us in that Relation in which it pleas'd the Father to put him and this was virtual Obedience c. Luther Rediv. Part. 2. Was not also your tedious endless Citation of Mr. Herbert Palmer's Memorials of Godliness inexcusable Almost all the Book You say he was an old Presbyterian Puritan and an abhorrer of Baxterianism which say you is a Paradox among some tho not all of them Why a Paradox I know not above four Baxterians among the Ministers in a County where once Providence cast my Lot 5. That you seem to treat Mr. Baxter with less rudeness than Mr. Edwards What is an unexceptionable Calvinist worse with you than a Neonomian And which is worse you damn the Baxterians and little less Calvinists as if lost by a Covenant of Works Yet we are glad seeing you would meddle in these matters 1. To see so many good Strokes in that Book and in a better Style than in some other Books Many things you mention are too bad too true You say right of Barkly the Learned Quaker He linkt the Papists and Baxterians together and himself with both about Justification P. 22. Let others answer for themselves and Master this is not my Work 2. That you are so good an Example to our Gentry who spend their time in Pleasure Hunting Whoring Drunkenness When you are so sober so serious so contemplative I take you to be a pious but melancholy Man 3. That you are so zealous against Quakerism in your Comparison between Quakerism and Baxterianism I hope now the fit or temptation to turn Quaker so much talk't of is over I leave that Book and apply my self to you about your Defence of Dr. Crisp against Mr. Edwards of Cambridg bound up with it You Sir call this famous Divine and so all of us that own the sound Doctrine he pleads for a Self-Justitiary and tell us That the Truth and that in Fundamentals hath been from Dr. Crisp 's Works maint●…n'd and defended fully That Mr. Edwards 's Doctrin Justification by Faith justifies the Papists Charge against us of Schism from the Church of Rome and Council of Trent and that you will maintain that any Jesuit might unequivocally and safely as well as gladly subscribe What Man is Justification by Faith Popery What shall I do To cite is to confute and therefore I will save the Reader 's Time and Money not to answer such little very little trifles Your Discourse of Fountain Vnion in Election virtual by Redemption manifestative in effectal Calling is unlearnedly and too much Crispianly exprest tho it is true you tell us before of being made actual Members of the Head in time I should think you being a sober Gentleman had written this Book too soon after a fit of Sickness or the Vertigo or the Calenture or had you been a profane Gentleman after a Night's Debauch P. 3. You say Our Author Mr. Edwards and his Jesuitical Fraternity jumble Justification and Sanctification together promiscuously That the Doctor Dr. C. separates them not but as to their Ends and Designs No! why were they sanctified too from Eternity from the Womb in the height of all Wickedness Manasseh when he used familiar Spirits Saul when he breathed out Slaughter against the Church What is imputed Sanctification good Doctrine already This is beyond Crisp Why such a trite Proverb so often repeated Ab Equis ad Asinos What is it from the Baxterians to the Crispians I pray our late Preachers of imputed Sanctification to consider as Christ's Righteousness is so imputed to us for Justification that no subjective Righteousness of ours can justify So if Christ's Righteousness be imputed to us for Sanctification no subjective Righteousness of ours could sanctify There would be no room for inherent Righteousness Sanctification or Holiness were the Elect in the height of all their Wickedness in a state of Unregeneracy sanctified as well as justified was there

sound Protestants who own Justification by Faith only not without Faith nor by Faith and Works MR. Hoskish in his Discourse of the Imputation of Sin on Christ says roundly and plainly the Truth I plead for is defended by Mr. Baxter and Dr. Sherlock blessed Company Mr. Alsop's Antisozzo is the best and most accurate Anti-Baxterian Book I ever saw all sound no more need be said Baxterianism I think is spiced Popery but Crispianism is spiced Rantism Mr. Hoskith told me That in the second Part of Mr. Troughton's Lutherus Redivivus were things not common on that Subject Now Mr. T. is dead and Mr. Lobb too and Mr. Alsop will proceed no further to speak as favourably as I can I wish some great Man among you may appear if occasion be Man is justified not by the Works of the Law says St. Paul Mr. Clark's late noise by Works and Works of the Law is nothing St. Paul speaks of the Moral Law Rom. 7.19 By which came the Knowledg of Sin by which every Mouth was stop'd v. 13 14 15. I abhor all that deny the Integrity of Baxterians Melancthon was not much better if as sound read his Loci Communes Not by that Law is Man justifyed that said Thou shalt not Covet not by that Law That he that doth them shall live in them by these Man could not be justifyed These were Moral Laws sure not Ceremonial not Pharasaical not external Acts only these do not all this The sufferings of Christ are subjectively infinite as of one that is God as Sin by our Divines is often said to be objectively Infinite as committed against an infinite Being by his Stripes are we healed Beware you seek not to be the Death of Christ's death by making it void or not of Effect for its main Ends and Purposes Some you know of late besides Sherlock deny Adam Enoch Noah Abraham and others to be saved by Faith in Christ or to know much of him tho Christ says Abraham saw his day and was glad and Paul says Abel offer'd a Sacrifice by Faith but one place with me well improv'd is of great use Enoch Prophesied so Jude saith Enoch the seventh from Adam Prophesied of these things behold the Lord cometh with ten thousand of his Saints to execute Vengeance And we know Paul tells us this Lord is Christ who so cometh 1. He that knew the greater things of Christ must the lesser he knew him to be a judg of the World and therefore the Saviour of it 2. He could not Prophesy to others but what he knew and they might and did understand Luke 24.27 Many things were written of Christ in Moses the Psalms and Prophets Think highly of the work of Conversion Mr. Baxter was sound here so are most of his Followers not all Paul compares the Power of converting Souls to God to the power of raising Christ Had all been done by common Providence and Man's great Care he need not have compar'd this Work of changing the Will and converting a Sinner to the mighty Power which rais'd Christ from the Dead Beware of loosing things and still retaining words some will keep the word Repentance but condemn the thing others the word Faith but mean somewhat else And you find these Mens Notions duelling together part then for pities sake Tho I know the one is but as a sore Finger to the other Crispianism which is as the withering of the whole Arm. Carry it civilly towards sober Baxterians most in this City preach well and Discourse so and are not so corrupt as their Master I heard only one preach at random He knew not what was become of Noah Sampson Solomon Ecclesiastes was not his Confessions Sampson died with Revenge in his Heart Did God ever work a Miracle to answer a Prayer of Revenge He consider'd them as Philistines as the Churches Enemies more than his and the loss of his Eyes more as a wrong to the Church than to him who was the Pillar of it at that time under God We can better tell what is become of these then what will become of him Other Baxterians loath'd this I mean the Conscientious ones that believe their common Doctrine not the Politick ones that believe with us but dare not say it because these Men have gotten the Ascendant in this City and can Ruin or Advance many Ministers at their Pleasure There attempts against me I care not for for I am glad we have their help against Crispianism I wish their Doctrine end not in Arminianism at last some are gone others going more would had not Mr. Williams's Restrictions and refining of his Master's Doctrine hindred As for Dr. Crisp we are often told of him That we understand him not Nor he himself say I. In what inextricable Perplexities did he involve himself then saying one thing then another It is often observ'd that they that are zealots for wild unusual Notions fancy they see them every time they take up their Bible and every where who could imagine Dr. Crisp should see in Heb. 11.1 That when Men be Believers they know they were the Children of God and lov'd with a complacential Love in a state of Impenitency or in short there see Justification before Faith Keep clear in this matter we are justified by Faith not without only not with Works Let that place be much in your Minds Rom. 3.21.22 But now the Righteousness of God without the Law is manifested being manifested by the Law and the Prophets Even the Righteousness of God which is by Faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe for there is 〈◊〉 difference It is call'd the Righteousness of God as God or Christ is the subject of it not efficient Where is our Righteousness that we are Subjects of call'd God's Righteousness because he is the Efficient In this sense my Repentance Love Faith may be call'd God's Repentance Faith Love This is call'd the Righteousness of Faith as by Faith it is made ours not in the Effects only for so God's attributes are ours but by Imputation That Abraham's Righteousness was the Righteousness of Faith and that that Righteousness of Faith was the Righteousness of Faith in Christ and that as Abraham was justified so are we Rom. 4.11 12 13 14. Paul and Mr. Alsop have excellently prov'd Circumcision was a Seal of that Righteousness and that he should be the Father of many Nations an unanswerable place for Infant-Baptism by the way Heb. 11.9 There was the Exemplar and Copy the Archetype and Ectype the promis'd Land was a strange Land to one that look'd for a Heavenly one so Mr. A. against Sherlock I could even Zabarellize that excellent Book He observes My Hand relieves me when it receives an Alms the Cup refresheth me when the Wine in it doth so so Faith justifies as it applies Christ thus he after others and I after him and some of you if you please after me Keep clear I pray you in the matter of
