A91322 Dissertatio de pace, &c. Or, A discourse touching the peace & concord of the Church. Wherein is elegantly and acutely argued, that not so much a bad opinion, as a bad life, excludes a Christian out of the kingdom of heaven; and that the things necessary to be known for the attainment of salvation, are very few and easie: and finally, that those, who pass amongst us under the name of hereticks, are notwithstanding to be tolerated.; Dissertatio de pace. English Przypkowski, Samuel, 1592-1670.; Biddle, John, 1615-1662, 1653 (1653) Wing P4133; Thomason E1495_1; ESTC R203302 40,192 82

herein_o which_o though_o it_o be_v not_o the_o cause_n of_o our_o salvation_n yet_o be_v it_o at_o least_o the_o way_n and_o a_o evident_a argument_n and_o most_o certain_a sign_n thereof_o now_o if_o it_o shall_v be_v make_v plain_o to_o appear_v that_o they_o who_o be_v not_o able_a to_o extricate_v themselves_o out_o of_o those_o perplex_a and_o craggy_a question_n whereof_o we_o have_v speak_v may_v notwithstanding_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n love_n god_n and_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n with_o all_o the_o power_n of_o their_o mind_n what_o cause_n will_v there_o be_v why_o we_o shall_v not_o think_v that_o the_o same_o person_n may_v be_v save_v logician_n say_v that_o the_o next_o and_o immediate_a cause_n as_o they_o term_v it_o can_v be_v hinder_v but_o it_o will_v out_o of_o hand_n produce_v the_o effect_n let_v we_o therefore_o in_o the_o first_o place_n consider_v the_o next_o cause_n of_o this_o love_n and_o then_o we_o shall_v see_v whether_o it_o may_v be_v in_o man_n so_o err_v the_o perfect_a love_n of_o any_o one_o be_v breed_v in_o the_o mind_n of_o the_o lover_n chief_o for_o three_o cause_n concur_v together_o 1._o from_o the_o firm_a and_o constant_a memory_n of_o such_o benefit_n as_o be_v past_a and_o from_o the_o sense_n of_o such_o as_o be_v present_a for_o gratitude_n also_o be_v a_o part_n of_o love_n 2._o from_o a_o certain_a hope_n and_o confidence_n of_o supreme_a happiness_n to_o be_v obtain_v from_o the_o belove_a thing_n if_o you_o come_v to_o enjoy_v it_o for_o love_n languish_v without_o desire_n 3._o and_o final_o from_o a_o perfect_a apprehension_n as_o far_o as_o may_v be_v of_o the_o sovereign_a beauty_n and_o excellency_n of_o the_o object_n which_o be_v the_o true_a and_o principal_a cause_n of_o the_o love_n itself_o now_o forasmuch_o as_o neither_o the_o perfect_a love_n of_o god_n nor_o the_o perfect_a perception_n of_o his_o excellency_n can_v full_o happen_v to_o we_o in_o this_o life_n we_o mean_v not_o a_o absolute_a perfection_n of_o both_o but_o such_o as_o be_v the_o chief_a in_o its_o kind_n namely_o as_o great_a as_o can_v exist_v in_o this_o state_n of_o mortality_n nor_o do_v i_o understand_v what_o can_v be_v further_o require_v unto_o perfect_a love_n for_o who_o see_v not_o that_o our_o will_n can_v no_o more_o abstain_v from_o love_v a_o perceive_v beauty_n than_o fire_n from_o burn_a stubble_n put_v unto_o it_o which_o beauty_n if_o it_o be_v perfect_o see_v a_o perfect_a love_n also_o will_v arise_v but_o if_o no_o more_o then_o perfect_o in_o its_o kind_n a_o love_n also_o perfect_a it_o its_o kind_n will_v arise_v certain_o if_o any_o one_o deny_v that_o sovereign_a love_n necessary_o proceed_v from_o such_o a_o cause_n he_o subvert_v the_o principle_n of_o nature_n which_o dictate_v even_o to_o child_n that_o whatsoever_o seem_v good_a or_o beautiful_a will_v also_o prove_v very_o please_v and_o so_o love_n will_v be_v increase_v according_a to_o the_o measure_n of_o the_o apprehend_a beauty_n it_o remain_v that_o we_o consider_v whether_o such_o a_o perfect_a perception_n of_o the_o excellency_n of_o god_n and_o his_o christ_n accompany_v with_o those_o two_o help_a cause_n may_v not_o be_v in_o they_o who_o comprehend_v not_o those_o hide_a and_o abstruse_a mystery_n of_o the_o divine_a essence_n which_o if_o it_o be_v in_o we_o who_o do_v not_o err_v it_o may_v also_o be_v in_o they_o or_o it_o will_v be_v necessary_a to_o show_v a_o reason_n of_o the_o prerogative_n which_o we_o have_v above_o they_o in_o this_o behalf_n and_o first_o let_v we_o speak_v of_o god_n the_o father_n as_o for_o the_o remembrance_n of_o his_o favour_n they_o acknowledge_v themselves_o together_o with_o we_o to_o be_v oblige_v unto_o he_o perpetual_o make_v mention_n of_o his_o infinite_a mercy_n the_o chief_a whereof_o consist_v in_o take_v we_o for_o his_o child_n as_o for_o the_o certain_a expectation_n of_o a_o very_a great_a benefit_n what_o vast_a hope_n what_o lavisher_n wish_n can_v be_v feign_v then_o that_o which_o they_o together_o with_o we_o desire_v and_o expect_v from_o the_o most_o high_a god_n there_o remain_v behind_o the_o contemplation_n of_o his_o beauty_n and_o majesty_n i_o confess_v there_o be_v nothing_o in_o humane_a matter_n so_o exact_a that_o can_v lend_v a_o shadow_n to_o the_o image_n of_o so_o great_a a_o majesty_n nevertheless_o as_o touch_v god_n the_o father_n they_o do_v in_o a_o manner_n agree_v with_o we_o for_o we_o be_v able_a to_o conceive_v nothing_o so_o great_a and_o sublime_a touch_v he_o which_o they_o also_o do_v not_o conceive_v nor_o do_v it_o follow_v that_o because_o they_o do_v not_o reach_v the_o curious_a subtlety_n in_o the_o receive_a distinction_n of_o person_n therefore_o they_o can_v according_o to_o their_o capacity_n conceive_v the_o beauty_n of_o the_o divine_a countenance_n not_o to_o be_v see_v by_o profane_a mind_n and_o consequent_o dedicate_v and_o worship_v the_o image_n of_o that_o unspeakable_a majesty_n within_o the_o sanctuary_n of_o their_o breast_n as_o if_o it_o be_v a_o hard_a matter_n to_o have_v all_o manner_n of_o high_a conception_n touch_v he_o who_o you_o certain_o know_v and_o continual_o think_v to_o be_v the_o source_n and_o original_n of_o all_o goodness_n and_o beauty_n although_o you_o do_v not_o comprehend_v doctrine_n snarl_a and_o entangle_v with_o so_o many_o knot_n enough_o seem_v to_o be_v already_o speak_v touch_v god_n the_o father_n but_o what_o if_o they_o have_v like_a yea_o the_o same_o cause_n with_o we_o of_o love_n towards_o the_o son_n of_o god_n will_v any_o thing_n hinder_v they_o from_o be_v as_o capable_a of_o this_o love_n as_o we_o ourselves_o be_v let_v we_o begin_v from_o hope_n do_v not_o they_o expect_v the_o same_o bountiful_a right_a hand_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n which_o will_v hereafter_o reach_v out_o a_o heavenly_a reward_n to_o all_o the_o faithful_a do_v they_o not_o luxuriate_v in_o this_o wish_n and_o who_o can_v choose_v but_o feel_v his_o heart_n wound_v with_o the_o love_n of_o christ_n who_o set_v christ_n before_o his_o eye_n as_o give_v he_o the_o pay_n of_o his_o warfare_n but_o you_o will_v say_v that_o in_o make_v a_o estimate_n of_o his_o favour_n they_o seem_v to_o be_v injurious_a to_o he_o whilst_o they_o affirm_v that_o the_o father_n anger_n towards_o we_o be_v appease_v without_o the_o entermise_n of_o christ_n and_o that_o no_o price_n proper_o so_o call_v be_v pay_v for_o our_o sin_n for_o i_o perceive_v that_o almost_o all_o who_o in_o the_o article_n of_o the_o holy_a trinity_n dissent_v from_o we_o be_v of_o that_o opinion_n i_o defend_v not_o the_o opinion_n of_o the_o man_n nevertheless_o i_o perceive_v that_o they_o judge_v a_o redemption_n proper_o so_o call_v to_o be_v both_o absurd_a and_o impossible_a what_o derogation_n therefore_o be_v it_o either_o to_o gratitude_n towards_o the_o lord_n jesus_n or_o to_o the_o holy_a memory_n of_o his_o merit_n if_o they_o imagine_v that_o he_o do_v not_o those_o thing_n for_o our_o sake_n which_o can_v at_o no_o hand_n be_v do_v when_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n he_o abundant_o perform_v all_o other_o thing_n which_o may_v proceed_v from_o he_o towards_o we_o for_o no_o other_o thing_n be_v require_v to_o the_o most_o strict_a obligation_n of_o a_o benefit_n then_o that_o the_o benefactor_n do_v for_o one_o sake_n all_o that_o he_o be_v able_a but_o they_o acknowledge_v that_o the_o lord_n jesus_n do_v for_o our_o salvation_n spare_v no_o pain_n yea_o not_o his_o very_a life_n and_o though_o they_o do_v not_o think_v that_o his_o blood_n be_v spill_v to_o appease_v god_n and_o therefore_o not_o so_o rigid_o to_o make_v satisfaction_n for_o our_o sin_n yet_o do_v they_o hold_v that_o it_o be_v spend_v and_o give_v for_o our_o sake_n so_o that_o although_o they_o assert_v another_o special_a scope_n and_o effect_n of_o his_o death_n than_o we_o do_v nevertheless_o they_o seem_v to_o acknowledge_v the_o same_o merit_n in_o general_n and_o who_o will_v not_o be_v imbue_v with_o a_o most_o tender_a affection_n towards_o he_o who_o he_o suppose_v to_o have_v undergo_v a_o most_o bitter_a death_n for_o his_o life_n sake_n who_o will_v not_o most_o ardent_o love_v he_o who_o he_o think_v perpetual_o busy_v in_o confer_v benefit_n upon_o he_o to_o which_o if_o you_o add_v a_o expectation_n of_o supreme_a happiness_n from_o his_o hand_n it_o can_v now_o happen_v otherwise_o but_o that_o the_o mind_n shall_v melt_v in_o the_o resentment_n of_o a_o most_o delicate_a flame_n i_o come_v now_o to_o the_o excellency_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n which_o be_v imperfit_o conceive_v by_o they_o seem_v unable_a to_o excite_v a_o perfect_a love_n of_o itself_o for_o how_o great_a a_o diminution_n be_v it_o of_o his_o
