and Preach the Gospel to every Creature Mark 16. 15. Fourthly When you Preached from Jer. 2. 4. 14. Jerusalem wash thy Heart from wickedness that thou mayest be saved Your whole Discourse tended to put the Creature upon doing for Life and not from Life and a principle of Love you quoted those verses in the First of Isaiah Wash ye make you clean put away the evil of your doings from before mine Eyes you Exhorted the Creature to do his part and then no doubt but God would do his part Fifthly You said the Law ought to be Preached before the Gospel to convince Sinners of their Sins Which is contrary to that that is said The Spirit shall convince the World of Sin Sixthly You affirm their is no Union before Faith but that Vnion is the effect of Faith and not Faith the effect of Vnion Seventhly You affirmed That what Christ did upon the Cross his Death and Sufferings was not the Elects nor that they have any right to it until they Believe Eighthly You said That we were not Sinners till we had Acted Sin and if no Sinners then no Objects of Christ's Love nor Justified Persons any wayes For you said They must be Sinners before they can be Pardoned which to us was the overthrowing of Original Sin the Representive-Ship of our Lord for us as Elect. And as for Discipline there is many who walk disorderly as some for Drunkenness others neglecting the Ordinances Mr. Henry Colman's Answer to their Charge in which he hath Cleared himself of those pretended Errors Charged against him THese things following are the Just Defence of the Innocency of Henry Coleman Minister and Chosen Elder by the Church at Kilby in which it appears under their Hands and 〈…〉 Unjustly many of them have departed from him and the Said Church And the better to Colour over their Schism have Written 〈…〉 Sent forth a Paper they to whom Please and Say what they Please 〈…〉 purpose to Impair his Reputation amongst other Christians and to 〈…〉 ke their bad Cause appear Good and Plausible And sent one of 〈…〉 ir Papers to Coventrey where by the Providence of God it came 〈…〉 the Hands of him the said Henry Coleman who never before 〈…〉 ld get a Copy though they have been required thereto 〈…〉 himself and Messengers and Letter So Unjust and Inju 〈…〉 us was they towards him Though their Paper was Written near 〈…〉 years since and was the Fruits and Effects of a Fast-Day which Circumstances aforesaid do make it appear That they Fasted for Strife and Debate to Fight with the Fists of Wickedness And by which Unjust dealing he the said Henry Coleman hath been 〈…〉 capable of either Confessing his Mistakes if there were any or of making his Just Defence but now having the Paper of their Exceptions which they call Errors Providentially come to his Hand doth make 〈…〉 Defence as followeth I. In your Preamble you Say That you Vnfeignedly gave in your Dissatisfaction against your Brother Coleman and the rest of the Members of the Church aforesaid that walk Disorderly Ans You do not tell me in your Paper In what we are Disorderly but such is your Conceited Confidence you think that all you say 〈…〉 Write must be believ'd to be True If you mean what you Write 〈…〉 your long Answers to our Queries about one Grinding on the Lord's-Day it appears more Excusable by Christ's excusing the Disciples who plucked the Ears of Corn on the Sabbath-Day than Selling Shop Goods on the Lord's-Day Saith Christ ye Hypocrites pluck first the Beam out of your own Eye and then you may see clearly to pluck the Mote out of your Brother's Eye You instanced in Drunkenness I know of none that were Charged with that Sin but William Tharp who was Suspended in Mr. Farmer 's time and by a Confession of his sin he was Charged with it prevented an Excommunication And if you know of any others the Sin lies at your Door But is it not an apparent and great Evil for some of the chief of you to set your Hands to the Church-Book for Union and then to go off from us without ever showing us a Reason for your so doing And is it not a Disorder to choose an Elder whose Habitation is about thirty miles off Thus your Complaint is justly turned upon your own Heads and the Charge not True to say no worse But to Proceed You say You sate a long time under my MINISTRY and could not be Profitted Ans No wonder when your minds were so Corrupted and your Judgments so Perverted that no Sound Doctrin could be Believed by you that Persons are not Profitted by the means of Grace when they are given up to Delusions and Errors You say you found no Reformation in my Judgment DOCTRIN Ans You think meet to enter your Dislike to the Doctrines following which you say I delivered If you had put in Deformation instead of Reformation you had spoke more Truth If you had said I Refused to be Deformed according to your Deformed Doctrin or rather Nonsensical Doctrin you had said True for I can neither Reform nor Conform to that which has neither Truth nor Sense in it But I shall come to Examin your Charging my Doctrines in which I shall do these three Things 1. Examin in what you have Wronged me in wresting my Words and setting down my Doctrnes in Words contrary to my own Judgement and Sense 2. Ingeniously Confess my mistakes if I have Committed any 3. In Justifying my Doctrines against your false Charge and these things I shall do upon every Head as I go on 1. Upon Isa 25 6 You say I strain'd the Words farther than to the ELECT And so doth the Prophet for it was a Feast of Fat Things to all People I hope the Elect are not all People except you will say the rest of the World are Beasts and not Men. I hope you will Grant That this Feast of Fat Things is meant of Christ and his Benefits He is the Bread of Life and Water of Life and He is to be 〈…〉 dered to more than the Elect For he is to be offered to every Creature Mark 16. 15. He is to be tendered to all Nay and those are Invited to partake of this Feast that make light of it and Refuse to come and partake of this Feast as well as those that come and partake of it For the Proof of which I cited Matth. 22. 1. to the 8th Lake 14. 16. 17. 18. If you call this Straining of it farther than to the Elect I will stand by it and Justify it against all your Exceptions 2 Upon Coloss 3. You say I said Be ye Christs and he will 〈…〉 yours If you make him your All and in All then he will make 〈…〉 his All and in All. These Words I do not Remember but 〈…〉 nce you bring these Words into your Charge as a Crime you should have shewed in what the Crime consisted
