A49183	An apology for the ministers who subscribed only unto the stating of the truths and errours in Mr. William's book shewing, that the Gospel which they preach, is the old everlasting Gospel of Christ, and vindicating them from the calumnies, wherewith they (especially the younger sort of them) have been unjustly aspersed by the letter from a minister in the city, to a minister in the countrey.	Lorimer, William, d. 1721.	1694 (1694)	Wing L3073; ESTC R22599	321,667	222

and_o preach_v a_o new_a gospel_n that_o can_v make_v it_o to_o be_v true_a or_o prove_v that_o it_o be_v so_o the_o nature_n of_o thing_n be_v not_o so_o soon_o change_v no_o thing_n will_v still_o

be_v most_o false_a that_o we_o preach_v a_o new_a gospel_n will_v still_o remain_v false_a though_o our_o author_n and_o his_o whole_a party_n shall_v ten_o thousand_o time_n over_o both_o think_v

that_o the_o gospel_n which_o we_o preach_v be_v no_o other_o than_o the_o everlasting_a gospel_n of_o christ_n which_o always_o have_v be_v now_o be_v and_o ever_o will_v be_v preserve_v in_o the_o christian_a church_n to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n now_o we_o advise_v people_n not_o to_o trust_v either_o he_o or_o we_o without_o trial_n but_o to_o examine_v what_o be_v say_v on_o both_o

it_o be_v wisdom_n and_o prudence_n for_o the_o scripture_n say_v they_o receive_v the_o word_n with_o all_o readiness_n of_o mind_n and_o search_v the_o scripture_n daily_o whether_o those_o thing_n

they_o find_v it_o to_o be_v all_o according_a to_o the_o scripture_n they_o immediate_o believe_v and_o ready_o receive_v it_o for_o that_o very_a reason_n because_o it_o be_v according_a to_o the_o

therefore_o the_o devil_n can_v not_o possible_o be_v the_o author_n of_o christ_n miracle_n since_o they_o be_v direct_o contrary_a to_o his_o nature_n and_o destructive_a of_o his_o kingdom_n and_o interest_n in_o the_o world_n the_o consequence_n be_v evident_a because_o if_o the_o devil_n be_v suppose_v to_o do_v such_o miracle_n so_o circumstantiate_v he_o be_v and_o must_v be_v ipso_fw-la

what_o he_o can_v to_o destroy_v his_o own_o kingdom_n and_o interest_n in_o the_o world_n but_o the_o devil_n can_v be_v suppose_v to_o be_v a_o silly_a weak_a prince_n who_o so_o act_v for_o want_n of_o policy_n and_o pride_n such_o a_o supposition_n be_v evident_o false_a and_o self-contradictious_a for_o the_o devil_n be_v a_o most_o politic_a proud_a spirit_n that_o be_v his_o very_a nature_n as_o he_o be_v a_o devil_n and_o his_o politic_a proud_a nature_n always_o act_v like_o itself_o and_o ever_o prompt_v he_o to_o defend_v maintain_v and_o propagate_v his_o kingdom_n and_o interest_n among_o men._n therefore_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o the_o devil_n shall_v be_v the_o author_n of_o such_o miracle_n as_o be_v so_o contrary_a to_o his_o nature_n and_o destructive_a of_o his_o kingdom_n and_o interest_n among_o man_n since_o it_o can_v be_v that_o such_o a_o politic_a ambitious_a spirit_n as_o the_o devil_n be_v shall_v be_v so_o silly_a as_o to_o make_v war_n upon_o his_o
