A47167 A refutation of three opposers of truth by plain evidence of the holy Scripture, viz. I. Of Pardon Tillinghast, who pleadeth for water-baptism, its being a Gospel-precept, and opposeth Christ within, as a false Christ. To which is added, something concerning the Supper, &c. II. Of B. Keech, in his book called, A tutor for children, where he disputeth against the sufficiency of the light within, in order of salvation; and calleth Christ in the heart, a false Christ in the secret chamber. II. Of Cotton Mather, who in his appendix to his book, called, Memorable providences, relating to witchcrafts, &c. doth so weakly defend his father Increase Mather from being justly chargeable with abusing the honest people called Quakers, that he doth the more lay open his fathers nakedness; and beside the abuses and injuries that his father had cast upon that people, C. Mather, the son, addeth new abuses of his own. And a few words of a letter to John Cotton, called a minister, at Plymouth in New England. By George Keith. Keith, George, 1639?-1716. 1690 (1690) Wing K199; ESTC W21703 49,228 77

every_o one_o that_o have_v a_o right_a though_o ordinary_a understand_v of_o thing_n and_o who_o see_v even_o but_o a_o very_a little_a may_v see_v that_o christ_n do_v not_o so_o much_o as_o imply_v that_o satan_n be_v not_o divide_v against_o satan_n but_o only_o argue_v the_o case_n with_o they_o against_o themselves_o by_o a_o argument_n that_o be_v common_o call_v argumentum_fw-la ad_fw-la

than_o that_o it_o may_v be_v allege_v that_o any_o of_o their_o child_n do_v cast_v they_o out_o for_o their_o child_n do_v believe_v they_o do_v cast_v out_o devil_n by_o the_o power_n of_o god_n and_o christ_n have_v far_o great_a cause_n to_o say_v the_o same_o to_o wit_n that_o he_o do_v cast_v out_o devil_n by_o the_o power_n of_o god_n nor_o do_v the_o manner_n of_o expression_n if_o

be_v not_o always_o to_o be_v understand_v to_o imply_v a_o negative_a but_o frequent_o a_o affirmative_a as_o in_o v_o 28._o say_v christ_n but_o if_o i_o cast_v out_o devil_n by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n etc._n etc._n the_o sense_n be_v not_o negative_a and_o hereby_o it_o do_v plain_o appear_v that_o cotton_n mather_n be_v a_o falsifier_n and_o wrester_n of_o christ_n word_n who_o will_v bring_v christ_n authority_n to_o prove_v that_o satan_n be_v be_v not_o divide_v against_o satan_n which_o be_v utter_o false_a for_o satan_n be_v divide_v manifest_o oft_o time_n against_o satan_n
