A86667	The rebukes of a reviler fallen upon his own head, in an answer to a book put forth by one Iohn Stelham, called a minister at Terlin in Essex. Wherein is shewed unto all spiritual men, that he himself is justly proved to be a contradictor of the scriptures, while he falsly accuses others thereof, that are clear, and the saying is fulfilled upon him, he is fallen into the pit, which he digged for others, for even that way which he calls heresie, do we worship the God of our fathers. By R.H.	Hubberthorn, Richard, 1628-1662.; Burrough, Edward, 1634-1662.	1657 (1657)	Wing H3229; Thomason E919_7; ESTC R207520	62,017	83

not_o for_o we_o say_v the_o same_o that_o some_o man_n conscience_n be_v defile_v and_o we_o do_v not_o desire_v the_o law_n to_o be_v make_v according_a to_o man_n several_a opinion_n and_o defile_v

every_o just_a law_n will_v be_v according_a to_o it_o and_o though_o i._n s._n by_o his_o own_o meaning_n will_v make_v it_o appear_v contradiction_n in_o our_o say_v no_o law_n must_v be_v concerning_o religion_n and_o yet_o say_v all_o law_n shall_v be_v according_a to_o the_o light_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o conscience_n now_o by_o these_o word_n we_o do_v not_o mean_v that_o we_o will_v not_o have_v a_o law_n according_a to_o religion_n but_o no_o law_n to_o limit_v to_o or_o from_o this_o or_o that_o manner_n of_o religion_n and_o this_o do_v very_o well_o agree_v with_o our_o say_n let_v all_o your_o law_n be_v according_a to_o the_o light_n of_o christ_n so_o by_o his_o misinterpretation_n of_o the_o first_o he_o make_v it_o appear_v to_o be_v contradiction_n to_o the_o second_o but_o it_o be_v not_o so_o in_o the_o light_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n and_o further_o r._n f._n say_v the_o law_n of_o god_n answer_v his_o justice_n and_o the_o light_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o conscience_n answer_v the_o law_n of_o god_n which_o be_v perfect_a according_a to_o that_o in_o the_o conscience_n these_o word_n i._n s._n charge_v with_o two_o error_n but_o let_v the_o reader_n try_v where_o the_o error_n lie_v and_o not_o believe_v i._n s._n false_a deduction_n from_o r._n f._n plain_a word_n which_o be_v simple_o utter_v through_o subtlety_n wrest_v and_o i._n s._n speak_v as_o if_o some_o will_v have_v magistrate_n to_o make_v law_n to_o bind_v themselves_o from_o strike_v at_o offender_n blasphemer_n gospel_n and_o church_n disturber_n etc._n etc._n in_o answer_n to_o this_o we_o be_v not_o they_o that_o will_v have_v any_o magistrate_n to_o bind_v themselves_o from_o strike_v at_o offender_n who_o be_v true_o able_a to_o judge_v of_o

good_a order_n and_o not_o to_o the_o inward_a man_n to_o bind_v or_o limit_v that_o and_o as_o for_o blasphemy_n and_o gospel_n and_o church_n disturb_v we_o find_v many_o magistrate_n not_o able_a to_o judge_v thereof_o but_o many_o on_o the_o contrary_a call_n truth_n blasphemy_n and_o reprove_v of_o sin_n in_o teacher_n and_o people_n gospel_n and_o church_n disturb_v and_o so_o by_o false_a judgement_n make_v such_o offender_n which_o be_v not_o and_o so_o abuse_v their_o power_n and_o condemn_v the_o innocent_a rather_o than_o the_o guilty_a and_o these_o be_v such_o as_o i._n s._n speak_v of_o where_o the_o strong_a man_n arm_v keep_v the_o house_n and_o these_o be_v rather_o a_o terror_n to_o well_o doer_n then_o to_o evil_a and_o such_o magistrate_n and_o such_o law_n by_o which_o the_o just_a be_v oppress_v and_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o wicked_a strengthen_a will_n the_o lord_n confound_v in_o a_o day_n to_o the_o glory_n of_o his_o name_n and_o to_o the_o refresh_n
