unto Salvation d● not inferr being understood of his Coming without us to Jud●●●ment that Sin remains in the deceased Saints until his Co●●ing but that at his Coming he will not charge Sin 〈◊〉 them but will solemnly acquit and discharge them of 〈◊〉 their Sins whereas upon all others he will charge their S● upon them as is clear from Matt. 25. Answ Where 〈◊〉 Sin remains as G. K. saith it doth not in the deceas● Saints there is none to Charge But where it doth r●●main it seems he will Charge it for which he referrs Matt. 25. and the Reason is plain they were Goats i●●penitent Sinners persisted in Evil to the last How●ver he goes on Though the deceased Saints need no Sal●ation from Sin yet from some of the Effects or Conse●●ences of it they do until the Resurrection for which he ●uotes Paul's Saying We are Saved by Hope c. and ●hat seing Death is the last Enemy that is to be destroyed ●he Resurrection from the Dead is that Salvation c. Answ He distinguisheth not between Salvation from ●in and the compleating the Glorification The Ac●uittal the Discharge the Salvation is present the ●eward and Fulness of Glory comes after when Christ ●omes to Judgment By Hope we are Saved saith Paul ●heir Salvation was present and it was a Salvation by Hope their Hope related to the eternal Reward and Enjoyment unseen for Hope that is seen is not Hope I shall also consider what he saith of Death not being ●ully and in all respects swallowed up in Victory and that ●ull Salvation and Enjoyment attained which all true Chri●●ians do yet wait for which he gives out of Rect. Corr. ● 42 as a Evidence his Belief then and now was the same Answ That the Promised did from the Beginning inwardly come into the Hearts of those that believed ●uised the Head of the Serpent and destroyed him ●hat had the Power of Death the Devil himself hath ●sserted Way cast up p. 99. So that the Deliverance ●as present the Acquittal and Salvation present the ●erfection of Triumph wherein Death should be fully ●d in all Respects even Vniversally and Irrecoverably ●wallowed up in Victory was to come then the Salva●●on and Enjoyment will be full which as he links them ●ogether bespeaks his then Sense was not that the ●olemn Acquittal was to be postponed to the last day for what solemn Acquittal or Discharge had the Sheep Matt. 25. but rather a Rehearsal of what they had ●one for Christ but that the Compleatness of Glory was then to commence Nay what himself writ then I deem a more fit Expounder of his Sense then th●● G. K's present Allegations which are partial and designed to strain things as that he may not seem to b● the inconstant Man he is He said p. 39. of Rect. Corr. so little before the Citation which G. K. gives her● viz. out of p. 42. His inward Appearance may we● be called his Appearance the second time without Sin unto Salvation namely to effect that inward cleansing and Sanctifying unto Perfection This he there delivered as the Effect of the inward Appearance Is it probable then that G. K. could then believe the Salvation from Sin the Acquittal the Discharge was to be delayed to the Day of Judgment when he said it was to be perfected here Or is he willing he may be supposed to have clashed against himself formerly that in may be the less Surprizing that he doth so now § 4 I now come to consider how far he retracts what he once delivered concerning Baptism and the Supper With respect to Baptism he saith p. 28. Whatsoever is said in his Rect. Corr. Truth Defended or an● other of his Books whatsoever that Water-Baptism was 〈◊〉 commanded Matt. 28.19 he fully and freely retracts Then he gives us what he had said to the same Effect in his Ant. and Sadd. p. 34 35. without taking notic● of my answer thereto in my Keith against Keith p 8● to 92. wherein I shewed how imperfect that Retractatio● was limited to the Exposition of two Scriptures viz. Matt. 28.19 relating to Baptism and 1 Cor. 11.26 relating to the Supper And seing he hath extende● his Retractation no further yet I shall not only refer● the Reader to those I had collected in my People calle● Quakers Cleared p. 35 c. but also expose some mor● of his Contradictions upon that subject of Water-Bap●tism which are not given as an Exposition upon Mat● 28.19 for him to reconcile or retract in his next In his Fresh and Ind. Chur. p. 184. printed Anno 1691 〈◊〉 urgeth If Water-Baptism had been a standing Gospel Commission Paul would never have said He was not sent to Baptize but to preach the Gospel nor have thanked God he baptized so few It were strange to think that Paul would thank God he did not so fully obey a Gosel-Precept said G. K. then Thus farr ●ssertory now let us hear him argue the Case To his Adversaries alledging that Paul meant Christ sent him not principally to baptize G. K. replies Truths Defence p. 134. Why doth he transgress his own Rule to go from the proper to the improper Signification of the word Note This is G. K's Rule also Vni Gr. p 43. Why might not Paul and others Baptize without a Commission to wit by a Permission as well as he did Circumcise Timothy To this Query I will oppose another Query of G. K's as I find it in Truth Advanced p. 183. Qu. 4. Whether Paul's Saying He thanked God he did Baptize but a few at Corinth doth prove that Water-Baptism was of no more Esteem or Value than Circumcision seing a Faithful Preacher might say concerning a People to whom the Gospel had been preached He thanked God he was not sent to preach to them but to a People that were more Worthy Doth this prove that the Preaching of the Gospel is to be laid aside saith G. K. And now I Query Did Paul or doth any Faithful Preacher preach to a People ●hey are not sent to He knows who once objected that ●gainst the National Clergy But not a word of that ●ow for fear he be brought upon his Knees for it But 〈◊〉 G. K. fit to reprove another of transgressing his own ●ule who one while gives wanting a Commission as ●●e Reason why Paul thanked God he baptized so few Another while suggests by way of Query that was not 〈◊〉 but the Hearers Unworthiness If he will undertake ●o defend both let him In p. 29. he saith It is not proper for me in this place to give any large account Why not Will he do it in ano●ther place or is he minded wholly to shift it of the reasons why I am otherwise minded as to the Sense of these two places of Scripture Matt. 28.19 1 Cor. 11.26 Bu● I think it not improper for me to give one of his Reasons why he was so minded out of Presb and Ind. Chur. p. 182 183. who then said
