and in all creatures 1 Cor. 13. yea they themselves shall appear with God in that glory in which they shall have communion and converse together in to all eternity 1 Joh. 2.2 Then shall every Christian be perfect in the glory of Christ when he shall have resigned up his office and kingdom of his Mediatorship to God his Father that God may be all in all and above all 1 Cor. 15. But all this is not here therefore here is no perfection When a Christian shall be clothed with perfect glory he no longer is a doing but a praifing God for what he hath done for him and for all the Saints and Angels which are in heaven and for what he hath done to all creatures in all places either in light or darknesse although it be for the condemnation of him who in the flesh was his own father thy Name saith Moses is fearfull in praises Revel 1.19.1 2 3 4 5 6. Chap. 14.3 and 5.8 to the end If they can disprove this then perfection is in this life this is true that the rest and glory that a Christian hath here is the same that he shall enjoy to all eternity a man in Christ here and Christ will be his rest and heaven his perfection and joy for ever Hebr. 4.3 Joh. 12.26 and 17.21 Yet this is not manifested too nor enjoyed by the Saints whilest they are here not in that perfect fulnesse and excellency which they shall live in and enjoy hereafter As they are all here in one body helps to one another by way of administration for their edification so shall they all meet together in one body without division at the time of their glorification of which Christ shall be the head Ephes 4.11 12. The humanity of a Christian in heaven shall not be humane but divine not earthly but heavenly Our Saviour saith that they shall be as the Angels of God in heaven Luke 22.29 30. Mark 12.25 And Saint Paul saith that the body of a Christian is sown in corruption and is raised in incorruption it is sown in dishonour and is raised in glory sown in weaknesse and is raised in power it is sown a naturall body and is raised a spirituall it is first a naturall body then afterwards that which is spirituall And as we have born the image of the earthly so shall we bear the Image of the heavenly For corruption that is flesh and blood which is in an estate of weaknesse whilest it is here in this mortall sinfull condition cannot inherit the kingdom of God He doth not say that the spirit of a Christian is in perfection in this life neither doth he say that at the last day the spirit shall be glorified without the body but he saith verse the 51 52 53 54. Behold I shew you a secret thing viz. we shall not all sleep but we shall all be changed There shall be some Saints if not all alive at the coming of Christ and they shall be translated as Enoch was though in a fuller and perfecter manner Now the Apostle doth plainly prove that that body which before was weak mortall and dishonourable although it was no longer before then a moment or the wtinkling of an eye yet it shall be made spirituall glorious and immortall Mark what he saith and it will be clearly manifest that perfection of spirit and body is not untill the last day Matth. 24.31 1 Thes 4.15 16 17. Whosoever you are that light of this book I pray you seriously to read and consider all those Scriptures that I have quoted it is not my judgement and opinion that I desire to plead for onely but more especially for the truth of the Gospel CHAP. IX The second branch of this Error divided into two parts I. What are the Attributes of God 2. Question what is the mortall flesh of man The second part that man is not as perfect as God nor God himself with a little addition concerning the passion of Christ I Shall divide this Ravishing Book Miracle or Prodigie into two parts and the first is this See the Bright Searr where he saith O Ravishing Book O Miracle O Prodigy O new unusuall thing transcending and passing all reason and farre surmounting the tertitories of mans capacity that all the Attributes of God proper to his divine Majesty should bee described in our mortall flesh that all the internall perfections of God should bee depainted in man and to know that person as perfect as God yea to bee God himselfe pag. 182 183. O lying wonder Matth. 24.24 O false Miracle O unheard of and unusu●ll bl●sphemy Revel 13.4 5 6. O Ravishing and wonderfull lye Joh. 8.44 for men to say that that never was that never is that never shall bee that ever the Almighty Infinite and ever blessed God should bee by the blasphem ous words and proud thoughts of men brought down to nothing and man that is nothing exalted in the roome of this God That all the Attributes of God proper to his divine Majesty should bee described in our mortall flesh here are two things to bee opened and narrowly inquired into in the first part of this Ravishing Prodigie and they are these First What are the glorious Attributes of God Secondly What is under the highest Ravishingest Respect the mortall flesh of man Now by this wee shall see whether the Attributes of God which are God in his essentiall glory are described or made manifest in the mortall flesh of man I shall speak of Gods Attributes under these nine considerations 1. The power of God is one of his Attributes and is proper to none but him onely Matth. 28.18 Joh. 17.2 Rom. 13.1 Consider of the Power of God under these Notions The power of God in his essence in his works Of Gods power in his essence I shall in briefe as I shall in all say thus much take this Rule whatsoever is in the Nature Essence or Beeing of God that is essentially perfectly and absolutely God 1 Joh. 1.5 Chap. 4.16 Joh. 1.5 Chap. 8.12 this the Scriptures and Writings of the learned Fathers doth confirm and testifie take this distinction to this Rule and that is this that all the power of God under all considerations is not in the essence nature or beeing of God I shall clear up this distinction by speaking of the power of God under the second notion consider of the power of God in two respects as it is in all his works by Creation by Regeneration concerning the power of God in the creatures in reference to the Creation take this rule that the essentiall power of God creating in all creatures created consider of it wholly in a respect to the Creator and it is in the nature essence and beeing of God Act. 17.28 Esa 40.26 and so that power is absolutely and essentially God now to this rule take this distinction that created power in all creatures that in many respects is the creatures as well as Gods is
