them these which follow 1. That it is not said Children that do not lye The Saints of God through infirmity have falne into that sin and Salomon saith There is not a just man upon the Earth that doth good and sinneth net Eccles 7.20 2. Neither is it said Children which cannot lye 1 Iohn 1 8. for If we say we have no sinne we deceive our selves and the truth is not in us The Saints are subject to sinne the seed of sin is in their natures St. Paul complaineth that he was carnall sold under it and with his flesh Rom. 7.44 served the Law of sinne and the evill that he would not doe Verse 25. that he did yea these precious Saints spoken of in the Text in hand Verse 19. whom the Lord testifieth of saying surely they are my people Children that will not lye and so he was their Saviour Isa 63 9 10 in his love and in his pitty he redeemed them yet it s said afterwards in vers 10. But they rebelled and vexed his holy spirit therefore he was turned to be their enemy and he fought against them therefore when Paul saith we can do nothing against the truth but for the truth Joseph saith how can I do this great wickednes sin a gainst God the meaning is 2 Cor 13.8 that by that inward principle which they had received from GOD they could not assent unto it as being contrary to their mind and WILL they had no disposition in them so to do for the fear of God was before them and They delighted in the Law of God after the inner man In this sence he that is borne of God sinnes not 3 But the Text saith Surely they are my people Children that will not lye whence this Doctrine was raised THAT THERE IS A VVILL IN THE SAINTS OF GOD NOT TO LYE They have a gracious and a voluntary disposition in them to resist sinne The point being amplified from the 7th of the Romans from the 15 verse to the end of the Chapter and confirmed further by Reason and some further progress made to the information of the minds and stirring up of the affections of the hearers and the Comfort of the poore Saints concerning their Evidences and Interest in Christ none of the Church opposed but Mr. D Brown who made a disturbance in the Congregation charging me with false Doctrine another Minister and a learned man whom he himselfe chose to have the hearing of the business and to Judge and make an end of the difference justified the Doctrine yet Mr. Brown was therefore angry and discontented with him also There is somewhat else which I delivered concerning ORIGINALL SINNF which Mr. Brown was discontented at That ORIGINALL SINNE came from Sathan entered into the World by one man and was acted by him this actuall sinne was originall Rom● 5.12 but pardoned to Adam and not to be imputed to his posterity to eternal condemnation without further degeneration for although Adams sinne made a leak in the ship of Mankinde and was the Inlet to all other finnes which are committed by his posterity yet Adam was not so guilty nor contracted such a measure of Guilt upon his posterity as they have since brought upon themselves For we read not that Adam committed Murder or Adultery Idolatry Sabboth breaking and such abominable sins as men now commit with a high hand Adams sin was one theirs are many hence it comes that God sends many diseases upon them which Adam had not and which he threatneth in the Law as the Consumption and burning Ague Lev. 26 and such like and so their dayes are shortned to what they were before The consideration whereof should deterre all men from sinning for as Adam was a Root to all mankind so every man is a root unto the Children which spring from him so that that which was actuall sinne in the Parents Heb. 7.9.10 is the Childes by imputation as Levi paid Tithes in the loynes of Abraham because he was in his loynes and as we all were transgressors in the loynes of Adam so every sinner contracts more sinne upon him and his posterity then Adam did in Paradize and so becomes an Originall root to his posterity after him These are the Doctrines which Mr. Brown calls false If he have any thing further to alleadge if he manifest it I shall give such an Answer thereto as the Word of God shall direct with such moderation as I hope shall demonstrate that I have no hatred to the man but to his evills And now to conclude I have here set down my profession which is agreeable to my Doctrine which Confession of Faith J resolve through Gods grace to live and dye in The Beliefe as followeth A NEVV CHRISTIAN CREED Built upon the old Foundation of the Holy APOSTLES and PROPHETS IESVS CHRIST being the Chiefe Corner Stone I Believe in God the Father Almighty maker of Heaven and Earth and in Iesus Christ his only Sonne our Lord which was conceived by the power of the HOLY GHOST borne of the Virgin Mary suffered under Pontus Pilate was Crucified dead and buried and rose againe the third day and ascended into Heaven and sitteth on the right hand of God from thence he shall come to Iudge the Living and the Dead I believe in the Holy Ghost The holy Seperated Church The Communion of Saints The forgiveness of sinnes The Resurrection of the dead And the life everlasting AMEN FJNJS

8.34 Mat. 25.26 But if they rightly apply their powers and faculties to observe the Statutes of God that is righteousness But the power is one and the same Deut. 6.25 Act. 17.28 though it be not alwayes applyed that way which God would have it applyed Object But thou wilt say Hath not God power to restrain all men from sinning and why will he not compell them to make right applications of their abilities seeing God hath all power and is infinite in strength Answ I Answer God hath determined to let man be a creature free and Gods determinations must stand sure I know that what soever God doth it shall be for ever Eccles 3.14 nothing can be put unto it nor any thing taken from it and God doth it that men should fear before him Let this deterre you from the abusing of your received abilities Lest God power contempt upon you and harden your hearts from his feare that ye can never be rec overed out of the Grave of Apostacy Thus having written somewhat to convince the sect of the Libertines of their abominable sinnes and to deterre them there from I shall proceed to answer D B. in those matters concerning my selfe wherein I referre him and the Reader first of all to the book which I set forth in vindication of Leiutenant Col. LILBURNE and Mr. MUSGRAVE and others from David Brownes false aspersions And I deny that he ever procured any place for me in the Common-wealth or that he ever kept me in it as he falsely alleageth or that I was so much as suspended from it unless it were in private and I have nothing to do with any thing that is done in Hugger-mugger I also challenge all persons to shew wherein I have done the least wrong to the Commonwealth or to any particular person because D. B. who seemeth to be rhe Committees and their Clerks advocate though he be none of the wisest unless in his own conceit would make men believe he is a great looser by me but he lies for I never had any thing from him and what I my Friends have done suffered in our estates for him is well known my promise never budded but it blosomed after in performance but his accusations are generall and I know not where to find him therefore I will not trouble my self nor the Reader to follow him because he is as a fish in the water And indeed I expected that he would have set forth something more perticuler concerning Worcester house but because he saith he hath it yet to divulge I shall cease troubling my selfe any further to untwist Bryars and Thorns before I be intangled therewith I know its more sutable to the Rules of the Gospell to be Defendant then Plaintiffe And I feare not the face of any man though Belzebub the Prince of the Devills and all his Train be set in battell-array against me to make thousands of people more wretched then they be by hindring my progress concerning the satisfaction of THE PUBLIQVE FAITH out of all discoveries of Lands concealed from and which doth Justly appertaine unto the Common-wealth and also out of all monyes in Treasurers and Collectors hands which they have concealed from THE COMMON-WEALTH as also all the estates of Convicted Papists and Delinquents undisposed of making this proviso that every mans Just right and legall interest should be preserved and industry considered and so It is desired that the Mynes and Lands under high-water-mark and Forrest Lands may be improved and Popish Cathedralls demolished and sold and that the overplus may be for THE RELIEF OF THE POORE and satisfaction of the LOSSES and other Just debts of the Nation according as the PARLIAMENT shall appoint Which some private men who seek their own mercenary ends more then the glory of GOD or THE PUBLIQVE GOOD do labor to oppose the Devill being alwayes at their elboes to stir them up thereunto And as touching Mr. Brown I confess ingeniously that although the Church hath excommunicated him justly Rev. 8.10 yet he houldeth forth many truths which he held and received when he was a Member with us But he is like the blazing Starre which Saint John saw fall from Heaven to the Earth burning He professeth totall seperation to cloake his abominable Hipocrisie disimulation as shall be made to appear shortly for he hath a burning zeale against these Ranters he professeth for totall seperation from the false Assemblies standeth for Common Justice imputting male factors to work who ought not by the Lawes of God to suffer death and that THEY ARE MVRDERERS WHO KILL THEM he is for the quite plucking down of the Idolatrous high places and yet he is a sinner against his own soule though he with Belz●bub confess that Christ is the Son of the blessed But his confessing Christ is of envy thinking to adde affliction to the poor Saints who have cast him out from amongst them for his wickedness for after he had brought in those persons whom he in his rare Epistle calleth famous Witnesses to prove his Charge D. Brown the Plaintiff after I had made my defence confessed that he was heartily sorry for charging me with Lying and Cheating and that he knew in his own conscience I was bonest and Just But that the Devill provoked him to accuse me and thereupon he prayed the Church to forgive him and urged the speech of Christ to Saint Peter to forgive often 70 times 7 times but when he saw that the Church would have a little more experience of him before they would admit him to the SACRAMENT from which he was suspended because he had so often played fast and loose with them in a dissembling way and desired him to Certifie under his hand the wrong that he had done that those that are without may be satisfied to whom he had caryed his lyes he then fell to justifie himselfe and to undo all his repentance and to charge the Church with sinne wherefore the Church seeing his wickednesse and obstinacy called upon me to discharge my duty and to pronounce the sentence and so he was cast out as a lyer and false accuser of the Brethren and as a hatefull person before God and man because of his sowing discord amongst them and persisting in his obstinacy Since which time he hath proceeded from evill to worse as if he were given up to a reprobate sence And whereas he saith he witnessed against the evills of divers false Doctrines which were by Samuell Chidley one of their Teachers delivered I shall declare the Doctrine what it is and leave the same to wise men to Judge of The Text from whence the Doctrine was raised is Isaiah 63.9 Surely they are my people Children that will not lye so he was their Saviour The Doctrine which was raised from the word will in that place Children that will not lye he accepted against And as a preparative to the Doctrine I noted many things And after
