A Few Words TO Nath. Coleman's LATE EPISTLE DIRECTED To be Read in the Assemblies of Gods People Shewing the Falseness and Unsoundness of his Doctrines therein contained Presented unto the View and Perusal of him and them that are the Encouragers and Spreaders thereof or any others to whose hands they have come with a Copy of his own Condemnation c. Unto which is added An Answer to T. Crisp's sixth Part of Babels Builders 1 Cor. 11.19 For there must be Heresies among you that they which are approved may be made manifest among you John 1.4 Beloved believe not every Spirit but try the Spirits whether they be of God because many false Prophets are gone out into the World The INTRODUCTION IT is a certain truth and experience dayly sheweth that the troubles of the righteous are many and the exercises great and various that from the birth of the flesh stock of Ishmael and the Generation of envious and persecuting Cain they meet with all as cruel mockings reproaches afflictions Spoile of Goods yea moreover of Bonds and Imprisonments though blessed be the Lord God through the assistance of his powerful and eternal Spirit they are dayly strengthened and enabled chearfully to endure and go through the same knowing in themselves that they have in heaven a better and more endurable substance and they firmly believe that these light afflictions for so they are comparatively which is but for a moment worketh for them a more exceeding and eternal weight of Glory while we look not at the things which are seen but at the things which are not seen for the things which are seen are temporal but the things which are not seen are Eternal And the People and children of God in this our day and Age have not been neither are only exercised on this wise but as the Primitive Christians were with false Brethren and teachers and their corrupt Doctrin which they endeavour both publickly and privately to bring in whose pernitious ways some have followed by reason of whom the way of truth hath been evil spoken of but their Judgment doth not linger neither doth their damnation slumber And let none think these things strange for this day is that fulfilled among us which the Apostles writ to the Primitive believers viz. Also of your own selves shall men arise speaking perverse things to draw away disciples after them therefore watch in the holy light for what is reproveable is first made manifest thereby and as every one keeps thereto and walks therein they will not by the feigned words of any be made merchandize of but will know feel and witness to their comfortable fellowship with God and one another which is the very thing this evil Spirit that hath entered the corrupt teachers that from our selves have risen who bring upon themselves swift destruction seeks with feigned pretence to the light and Spirit of God to draw people from t. The which in some measure the following lines will shew and in love are writ for that end And to detect the false Doctrin of one of these corrupt teachers that in our age hath risen who may be truly said to be as A well without water and a cloud without rain carried with every tempest to whom the mist of darkness I reserved forever Except unfeigned repentance is known Here follows A Coppy of a Letter sent to N. C. in which the following answer was inclosed Nathaniel Coleman THe inclosed is sent thee to peruse that thou maist see the confusion and false Doctrin thou hast published in thy Epistle c. in publick print under the pretence of a motion from God and it 's my intent to publish the Inclosed except thou wilt condemn the false Doctrins in thy said Epistle and the Spirit by which thou was led to write and publish them as publickly as they are made and call the said Epistles in I have as yet omitted in the inclosed one thing among the rest which is in p. 3 where there speaking of the Lord gathering his people from off all the barren mountains and desolate bills of Imaginations thou in Parenthesis saith wherein they have been acting for him now herein is manifest a great errour and notorious false Doctrin such that the blind Priest of the nation can scarce excced in blindness darkness and Ignorance And Nathaniel if in any place I have either mistook misquoted or misrepresented thy words otherwise then the sense will bear I desire thee to manifest it though I can and do truly say I knew not in the least tittle that I have so done and let me have an answer from thee in 1 or 2 Weeks time otherwise I intend to publish it as aforesaid and if I heare not from thee I may add the aforesaid false Doctrin to the rest with some things more for ought I at present know so with the words of the Spirit unto the Church of Laodicea I at present may conclude desiring thee to make a right application thereof i.e. because thou saist I am rich and encreased with goods and have need of nothing and knowst not that thou art wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked I councel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire that thou maist be rich and white rayment that thou maist be clothed and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear and anoint thy eyes with eye Salve that thou maist sec Rev. 3.17.18 Thy Friend that truly wisheth thee godly Sorrow and unfeigned repentancce unto the acknowledgment and amendment of thy faults I.
