Whitehead.	Whitehead, George, 1636?-1723.	1671 (1671)	Wing W1942; ESTC R39132	54,802	75

1st God had never any such Wrath nor Revenge against his Innocent Son to execute upon him nor will he so clear the Guilty in their Sins 2d It pleasing the Lord to bruise him was neither in Wrath nor to take Vengeance on him nor yet actually or immediately by himself to bruise him but permissively for though he was deliver'd by the determinate Council of God yet he suffer'd wicked hands to afflict and put Christ to death who did bear and suffer under the Load and Oppression of the Sins and Iniquities of the World yea he hath born our Griefs and Sorrows the Iniquity of all being so made to meet upon him But a gross sense hast thou given to the Prophet's words for neither were these Sufferings of Christ that the Guilty might go free for that divine Justice admits not of as to condemn the Righteous and justifie the Wicked that 's an abomination neither are God's Chastizements by way of Revenge nor a taking Vengeance on his Innocent Son who is the Delight of his Soul the Son of his Love Chastizement and Revenge are two differing things and so are Forgiveness and the Rigour of the Law R. G. Jesus Christ is a Propitiation for the Sins of the whole World may I not thence in truth assert him to have been a Propitiation for all Sins past present and to come pag. 15. Answ. That Christ is the Propitiation for the Sins of the whole World I own and that his Blood that cleanseth from all Sin bears record in the Earth but thy words for all Sin past present and to come are added to the Scripture by thy Teachers the Presbyterians and Independants and have given much liberty to sin contrary to the Apostles words who saith of Christ Whom God hath set forth to be a Propitiation through Faith in his Blood to declare his Righteousness fo● the Remission of Sins that are past through the Forbearance of God Rom. 3. He does not say for the remission of sins past present and to come nor that men are perfectly justified and redeem'd by the Sacrifice of Christ who commit sin all their dayes which is imply'd in thes● words for all sins past pres●nt and to come whereas his b●ing a Sacrifice for the sins of the whole World is intended for the sins past of every man committed before Believing or Conversion or otherwise through Weakness after Conviction not for wilful sins against Knowledge if we sin wilfully after that we have receiv'd the Knowledge of the Truth there remains no more a Sacrifice for sin but a certain fearful looking for of Judgment and fiery Indignation which shall devour the Adversaries Heb. 10.26 27. R. G. But that these Works of the Spirit wrought in us are the Attonement the Propitiatory Sacrifice or any part of it or the Ground and Cause of our being Redeem'd that I deny pag. 17. Answ. What 's Attoneing but making Peace and Quietness and Redeeming but a delivering from Sin and Bondage or rescuing from the Enem● And must the Spirit of God have no Hand or part in this Or he in his working within be no cause hereof strange doctrine Mayst thou not herein as well exclude Christ as his Spirit who are One Whereas the work of Righteousness shall be Peace and the effect of Righteousness Quietness and Assurance forever Isa. 32.17 And the Fruit of the Spirit is Love Joy Peace c. Gal. 5.22 It is the Spirit that both quickens sanctifies and justifies and leads the true Believer into all Truth And what 's this short of Redemption I pray you if it be a freeing from Iniquity But these inward works of the Spirit we dare not call the Propitiatory Sacrifice as falsly thou imply'st but he Christ the Worker who is made unto us Wisdom Righteousness Sanctification and Redemption and is not this spiritually o● by his Spirit And are not his Works in his People as acceptable to God as ever being true in him and in us from the dignity of him that worketh them R. G. God hath purchas'd his Church by his own Blood G. W. his confus'd doctrine renders this Purchase as a work daily doing in every Generation in many Bodies as every man comes to be renew'd by the Spirit a fine dress of new coyn'd words pag. 17. Answ. Whoever comes to be a Member of the true Church as he doth experience the Work of God and his Will fulfilling in him must feel and witness even in the Body a saving purchasing redeeming and cleansing c. from Iniquity and Bondage by the Blood of God And as it s written After that the Kindness and Love of God our Saviour toward man appear'd not by works of Righteousness which we have done but according to his Mercy he sav'd us by the washing of Regeneration and renewing of the Holy Ghost Tit. 3.4 5. See now how contrary to plain Scripture and Saints Experience this R. G. hath argu'd and how the work of the Spirit or inward Renewing and Washing by it which saveth is slighted by him and such as he who never knew what it is to be purchas'd unto God nor to be of his purchas'd Church And they who are not yet come to be M●mbers of that Church to know his Blood or Life both to sprinkle sanctifie and redeem them from sin and iniquity in their Bodies which have been defiled or else they are never like to be a true Church nor to inherit God's Kingdom And herein I do not bring a Sacrifice without Blood nor without Spirit nor like that of Rome as blasphemously R. G. reproach'd me for the Spirit and the Water and the Blood do bear record in the Earth and except ye eat the Flesh and drink the Blood of Christ ye have no Life in you and Jesus Christ the Righteous is the Propitiation c. Mark is in the time present he ●e●ains a Sacrifice his Soul being made an Offering for all that have not wilfully sinned against Knowledge or that have not rejected Christ and sinned out their day R. G. Christ as form'd within th● Hope of Glory dwelling in us by Faith is manifest within us this Manifestation of him as in us thou calls the true Christ our only Saviour which the Apostles never did pag. 19. Answ. Strange D●ctrine Did the Apostles preach a false Christ or another then the true Was not Christ within the Mystery And was not the ingrafted Word that which sav'd the Soul And he that hath not the Son hath not Life How amply hath both Christ and his Apostles testified of his being in his chosen Ones And hast thou not in pag. 22. granted to his appearance in Believers through Faith by his Spirit for Salvation Will this man never leave his Confu●ion and self-Contradiction R. G. From Acts 2.36 God hath made that same Jesus adding not him that was manifest in that Body of Flesh but the same Jesus whom ye have crucified both Lord and Christ pa. 19. Answ. What a
