A26882	Catholick communion doubly defended by Dr. Owens, vindicator, and Richard Baxter and the state of that communion opened, and the questions discussed, whether there be any displeasure at sin, or repentance for it in Heaven : with a parallel of the case of using a faulty translation of Scripture, and a faulty lyturgy.	Baxter, Richard, 1615-1691.	1684 (1684)	Wing B1208; ESTC R11859	46,778	44

Lord wherefore he slew him Num. 11. 1. When the people complained it displeased the Lord his anger was kindled 2 Sam. 11. 27. The thing that David had done displeased the Lord Murder and Adultery No say you God is not displeased with any sin there is no displeasure in Heaven 1 Chr. 21. God was displeased with this thing therefore he smote Israel Psal. 60. 1. O God thou hast been displeased Isa. 59. 15. The Lord saw it and it displeased him Zech. 1. 2. 15. The Lord hath been sore displeased or displeased with displeasure I am very sore displeased with the Heathen I was but a little displeased Psal. 6. 1. O Lord rebuke me not in thine anger neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure Psal. 2. 5. He shall speak to them in his anger and vex them in his sore displeasure Deut. 9. 19. Moses saith I was afraid of the great anger and hot displeasure wherewith the Lord was hot against you to destroy you I am sorry that you all differ from Moses And Expositors suppose that when God is said to have no pleasure in fools or in wickedness c. Eccl. 5. 4. Ps. 5. 4. it signifieth displeasure But the Scripture ascribeth to God not only Displeasure but Hatred which signifieth the greatest displeasure Deut. 16. 22. Psal. 11. 5. The wicked and him that loveth violence his Soul hateth Isa. 1. 14. Mal. 2. 16. Psal. 5. 5. Thou hatest all the workers of Iniquity 45. 7. thou hatest wickedness Rev. 2. 6. 15. The Doctrine of the Nicolaitans which I also hate Zech. 8. 17. Amos 5. 21 6. 8. Jer. 44. 4. O do not this abominable thing which I hate Isa. 61. 8. Prov. 8. 13. 6. 16. I thought those that overstretch Esau have I hated would not have denyed all displeasedness in God But if I should go further and cite all the Texts that ascribe even Anger and Wrath to God and say he is angry every day c. and that his wrath shall punish the Wicked I suppose it would do more to weary the Reader that knoweth this already than to convince your Party II. But my 2d Appeal is to the Accurate Scholastick Writers because I suppose you will say that the Scripture speaketh popularly after the manner of Men. Ans. Or else it must not speak to Men. But here I should much more confound most Readers if I should call them to Metaphysicks or Metaphysical Writers I should cite to them many sheets out of Aquinas Scotus Ockam Durandus Bonaventure and all their followers who commonly ascribed Displicency as well as Complacence to God If you need Witness in this case read them and seek it and pardon me for not abusing the Reader with such Citations III. The same I say of the consent of Practical Protestant Divines I do not think the Reader would forgive me if I should prove that Luther Calvin Melancthon Bucer and all the Forreign Reformers and all our Martyrs and English Divines Episcopal Presbyterian and whatever you say against it to their injury Independants also ascribe Displicence to God Sure they that translated the Bible did And surely the Writings of Hildersham Dod Greenham Rogers Preston Sibs Bolton Whateley Allen and hundreds such are far from disowning such expressions But methinks I should not need to suppose you to object that it is not God but Man that you speak of No I will not abuse you so much as to suppose that you take man to be more perfect and less Passive then God Indeed Displicence and Complacence in God are Active ad extra and signify but the perfection of his will and exeuntèr the expressions and effects and no Passivity But all Creatures are Passive as well as Active and they are receptive ab objectis both in their Ideal Conceptions and their Appetites And therefore Displeasure in a far grosser Passive sense must be ascribed to the Creature then to the Creator and yet without any diminution of felicity And 2. It is certain that Christ himself was much displeased with sin on Earth Mark 10. 14 3. 5. And surely he is not any less perfect nor more reconciled to sin in Heaven He was displeased with it when he died for it and is his will changed since to favour it Yea if you should say that sin is nothing and therefore no object of a Divine Act of Nolition or hatred but God is said to will or hate it only because he doth not will or love it but punish it yet the Church hath long ago Condemned the Monothelites as Hereticks and determined that Christ hath two Wills and Operations And therefore as Man his knowledge and will must have somewhat of Passivity though not of Pain 2. And it 's strange that Christ is made our Captain and manageth a War against Satan in the world and Michael and his Angels are engaged in it and yet have not the least displeasure against Sin and Satan 3. And that Christ hath such terrible threatnings against Sin and Sinners even everlasting fire prepared for the Devil and his Angels the Worm that never dieth and the fire that is not to be quenched and that he shall come in flaming fire rendring vengeance c. that all they might be damned that obeyed not the truth c. that the Wrath of God is revealed from Heaven against all Ungodliness and Unrighteousness of men c. that fiery indignation shall devour the Adversaries all Kindreds of the Earth shall wail because of him and he will say Those mine Enemies that would not I should Reign over them bring hither and slay them before me Depart from me all ye that work Iniquity c. And yet hath not the least displeasure at Sin or Sinners That most of the World must lye in Hell and feel no effects of Christs displeasure because he hath none And Angels and Saints are not perfecter than Christ but are of his mind and are displeased with Sin and Persecutors and Devils in conformity to Christ. The Saints in Heaven have not forgotten their former sins The remembrance of them hath some effect It is not Pleasedness with the evil therefore it is Displeasedness they are not ignorant of all the Wickedness Injustice Violence Persecution and Blood-shed on Earth and all the sufferings of the Just They love not this with Complacency Therefore they hate it with Displicence or else they are senseless neuters Do the Angels pour out the Vials do the Souls under the Altar pray for revenge are the Heavens and the holy Apostles and Prophets bid rejoyce over Babylon Rev. 18. 20. and yet none of them so much as displeased at Babylons sin or the Churches suffering Sure you do not so far disagree from us in all this as to deny the matter I hope it is but a false Conceit of the unfitness of the word And if the word Displeasure do displease you why would not so accurate a Reprover once tell us what word it is
