THE Boasting Baptist DISMOVNTED AND THE BEAST Disarmed and sorely wounded without any Carnal Weapon IN A REPLY TO Some Papers Written by Jonathan Iohnson of Lincolne as an Answer to a Letter sent him by Martin Mason concerning some exceptions against several Truths Published by a Faithfull Minister not of the Letter but of the Everlasting Gospel After the manner of men have I fought with Beasts 1 Cor. 15.32 The mighty men of Babylon their might hath failed they became as women her Bars are broken The Daughter of Babylon is like a Threshing-Floore it is time to thresh her Jer. 51.30.33 You onely have I known of all the Families of the earth therefore will I punish you for all your iniquities Amos 3.2 LONDON Printed for Giles Calvert and are to be sold at the Black-spread-Eagle neer the west-end of Pauls 1656. The Boasting Baptist dismounted c. Jonathan Johnson THOU art grossly mistaken to think thy self garrison'd in Sion while thou art thus mewed up in the beastly pinfold of Babylon and hast no better Bul-works then her muddy Walls her tottering Towers to defend thee the meer Imaginations of thy own brain humane Inventions frethy falacies Antichristian Consequences conjured up out of the bottomless pit Though thou boastest in thy babbling and disdainfully tells me of the weakness and disarmed condition of me and those I am encamped with Mark 5.9 and that our weapon is but a Bulrush yet 't is not thee nor thy Fathers Legion can make one Souldier in the Camp of the Lord give one inch of ground to the lyar or turn his back to the uncircumcised Philistine and though the weapons of our warfare be not carnall yet do the wicked receive terrible wounds and so dost thou which will make thee gnash thy teeth in secret 2 Cor. 10.4 'T is the conquering Power of the Sword of the Spirit which is our Weapon that 's no Bulrush and that shall the Boaster witness when the wrath of the Lord falls upon him and by that shall Antichrist be destroyed Amongst other things I asked thee Eph. 6.17 hath every one that comes into the world heard and read the preachings of Christ and his Apostles as they are transcribed in the Bible and thou answers They have all heard But must the lyar in thee be received for the Oracle of God 2 Sam. 16.23 May not Millions of men and women in the world who dwell in those parts not counted Christendome witness against thee If an Egyptian Myst had not blinded thee thou couldst not have been thus besotted as to back thy lye with those places of the Letter Matt. 28.19 20. Mark 16.15 which in effect prove Christs command to his Disciples when they were upon earth to go and preach the glad tydings of the Gospel to that Generation they lived in The Commission nor the Execution whereof thou never heard me question but what 's this to the proof of thy answer to my question O see thy sottishness and be ashamed Remember thou art a Debtor to me for an Answer to those quaeries how is the Gospel preached to every creature under heaven if it he not by that Principle of Light in the conscience Does not that which shews sin and evil in the Conscience draw the creature out of sin if the creature be guided by it And does not that which draws out of sin lead to christ the Saviour and is not that the first Principle Were not these things worth thy taking notice of Or did not that of God in thee convince thee of the truth herein but the man of sin in thee would not suffer thee to own the Truth Yet when thou writes again give a plain answer to each particular in the mean time take back this Brat of thy own begetting That the Principle of light arising in the conscience is from that preaching of Repentance and Faith by the Apostle So that take away the Letter and by this mans Doctrine there would be no Principle of Light arising in the conscience Oh the gross darkness of this Babylonian Shame cover the face of the lyar Was there not a Principle of Light in the people who lived before Moses writ the Letter VVas not Moses upon earth before the preaching of Repentance and Faith by the Apostles Nay dost thou not say in the same Paper That that sound of accusing or excusing is in all consciences If it be in all consciences as indeed it is then it must needs be in the consciences of millions of people who never heard the preaching of Repentance and Faith by the Apostles Now to thy scornfull question VVhere have I or any of those who run abroad come but they have heard the preachings of christ before our coming To this I answer The wrath of the Lord not his Blessing Psal 1. Gen. 1.2 1 Tim. 3.16 Col. 3.11 is to thee who sittest in the seat of the scornfull Now for the people they have all heard the sound of Christs voice preaching in their consciences but darkness being upon the face of the earth they knew not the Mystery of godliness Christ in them the hope of glory If thou wouldst own the letter as thou pretendest thou durst not deny christ to be in all Iew and Greek Barbarian Scithian bond and free I own no other Gospel but what the Apostles preached nor do we direct the people to any other thing then the Apostle Peter did that sure word of Prophesie the Light in their consciences unto which they do well if they take heed 1 Pet. 1.39 1 John 1. Rom 1.16 we only send them to the Seed of the woman which is the word of God the Unction or Christ within who is the power of God unto salvation But the Letter is not the sure word of Prophesie the Seed of the Woman the Unction or Christ within the Word of God or Gospel which is the Power of God unto Salvation I do appeal to that of God in every mans conscience if the Seed of the Serpent the man of sin be not within must not then the Seed of the Woman be there also Gen. 3.15 how shall the Seed of the Woman break the Sepents head if the Seed of the Woman be not where the Serpent is For this Royall Seed of God discovers the Tempter to the creature in his first motion if the creature minde to be guided by this good Seed Prov. 1.10 and as he beleeves in this Son of Gods love who reveals the man of sin the Thief is seen but not consented to the Devill being resisted flies away 1 John 12. so as many as receive this Royall Seed this Son of Gods Love the Light of Christ Jesus shining in their consciences by beleeving therein from him they receive power to become the Sons of God for through faith in Christ Jesus shining into the conscience all things are possible the heart is thereby purified and without Faith it is impossible to please

God no pleasing of God till the heart be purified and no purifying of the heart but by Faith in the Son of God shining into the heart there convincing the creature of sin in secret and then how dare I do this wickedness and sin against my God Gen. 21.23 He fills heaven and earth with his presence Col. 1.26 who is not at a distance he is not a God afar off but nigh at hand even in the heart and sees the secrets of the heart But this is a Mystery to all carnall mindes it was a Mystery in the dayes of the Apostles hid from Ages and Generations past but was then and is now made manifest to his Saints the riches of the Glory of this Mystery among the Gentils Christ in them the hope of Glory hid from the wise and prudent of the world and revealed unto babes No other Christ no other Word do we preach but that which the Prophets and Apostles did bear witness of that which we have seen with our eyes and heard with our ears 1 John 1. Rom. 10.8 Heb. 5.6 John 6.68 that word which is even in the heart and in the mouth to this Everlasting Priest which hath the Word of eternall life do we exhort the people to be obedient and who keep to this Annointing in them need not that any man teach them nor such be seduced by the Serpent Thou tells me of confessing the Apostles saying This is the VVord of Faith which we preach and the hearing of that VVord of Faith the light in the conscience is the in-let to the Spirit of Promisc and then thou asks me if this be not the same which thou sayest c. O shameless man Dost thou not in that exception of thine to the first Position cry up the Letter and say the hearing and receiving of that is the in-let to the Spirit of Promise and those who do not hear and obey that as the Teachings of God have not his Spirit and yet dares thou come thus impudently to bluster against me and tax me for a false accuser but shame shall cover thee and the hand of the Lord shall finde thee out Yet be it remembred that here thou hast owned the Light in the conscience to be the in-let to the Spirit of Promise Thou bids me if I can prove any jugling by thee do it Hast thou not saved me some labour and done it thy self one while owning the Letter to be the in-let to the Spirit of Promise and another time owning the Light in the conscience to be the Spirit of Promise sometimes calling the Letter the Rule and sometimes the Spirit for the Rule Dost thou not say thy Foundation is not built upon Paul or Peter as they were men but upon their preaching the Word of God and Jesus Is not thy Foundation built upon the Letter dost thou not account that for the Word of God which they preached But what 's thy meaning to say upon their preaching the Word of God and Jesus Is the Word of God and Jesus two distinct things Is there any other Word of God beside Jesus Rev. 19.13 Rom. 1.16 Is not he called the Word of God Is not the Word of God beleeved in the Power of God unto salvation Does thou not beleeve the Letter to be the Word of God yet neither is it nor thy belief there the Power of God to save thee from the beastly sins of lying pride paslion and bitter spiritedness and confusion Thou makes thy self merry with that expression of mine That which gave forth the Leaves town it is my witness against thee and all thy deceitfull juglings Thou Replyes The Printer gave forth the Leaves and so the Printer thou sayes is my witness c. And then backs that lye with another Brat of thy own begetting that neither Printer nor any thing printed from the voice of Truth will witness with me or be for me But the tongue of the lyar is not to be beleeved Had I dealt with the deceitfullest Parish-Priest in the Nation could I have found a more filthy gloss put upon that innocent Expression that which gave forth the Leaves I own Could I have met with less ingenuity in a Pagan Priest then is found in this high-flown Pharisee But friends you may see the man is put to his shifts while he is fain to make use of this shushing Was it not the pure Spirit of the living God that gave forth the Letter That and no other Spirit do I own and that is my witness against the lying Spirit lording it in thee Ionathan Iohnsen who sayes the Printer gave forth the Leaves Shame cover the lyar does not the Printer sell them to the Stationers But know this Alying tongue is an Abomination to the Lord and the Lake is the Portion of the lyar Rev. 21.8 Poor man how art thou puzled and tormented because in my Paper I cry not up the Letter but owns Christ alone who is the Light in the conscience to be the in-let to the Spirit of Promise Why does the Heathen rage Psal 2.1 and the man imagine such a vain thing as to think I should own thy Baptism with water which thou paintest over with the name of the Baptism of Repentance to be the in-let to the Spirit of Promise These are thy words That which is the in-let to the Spirit of Promise into the heart is the door and the way but the Baptism of Repentance the hearing of Faith preached or beleeving is the in-let to the Spirit of Promise therefore the Baptism of Repentance and the hearing of Faith preached and beleeving is the in-let to the Spirit of Promise So that none by this mans Doctrine can have the Spirit who bow not to his sprinckling Tell me Ionathan didst thou not a little before own the Light in the Conscience to be the in-let to the Spirit of Promise and call me false accuser for saying thou denyedst it Matt. 23.32 Fye Ionathan lye wilt thou needs be a lyar whether I will or no thou art hastning on apace to fill up the measure of thy iniquities and then shall the wrath of the Lord seize upon thee Judge O ye wise in heart if this Babler be not a Bond-slave in Babylon does he not say and unsay Does he not here place his Water and beleeving in the Letter in the room of Christ by making them the Way and the Door or in-let to the Spirit of Promise whoever are not spiritually blinde will see the blasphemy of the Beast for Christ the Light of the world is the Door and the Way Ioh. 10.9 Ioh. 14.16 and so the in-let to the Spirit of Promise and where must the creature look for Christ if not within Is not that the Light of Christ which tells every man and woman in secret of every sin he doth commit and perswades the creature not to run on in the evill of his wayes Does not Christ stand at the door and knock
