A56095	A Protestant plot no paradox, or, Phanaticks under that name plotting against the king and government proved first, from their principles, secondly, from their practices.	Tonge, Thomas, d. 1662.	1682 (1682)	Wing P3840; ESTC R10620	63,075	38

our grief and endured our punishment it made his soul cry out My God my God why hast thou forsaken me or else we must for ever be banished out of the presence of God and never have any hopes of glory of faith or of salvation had not the Son of God become our Mediator and Surety so there is one God and one Mediator the Man Christ Jesus He gave himself a Ransom for all our sins to free us from the wrath to come everlasting destruction and from the worm that never dies O that we could ever be thankful to God live to him that hath so loved us as to send his Son to die for us and is by the almighty power of God raised from the dead and now sits at the right hand of God and ever lives to make intercession Truly friends this is not the love of man but the love of God and therefore eternal love God so loved the world it is Gods love he loved sinners ungodly ones he did so love them as to give his only begotten Son to save them to reconcile them to uphold them to redeem them from wrath to come it was to seek and save them that were lost That is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation that Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners We all like sheep had gone astray and must perish in our sins had not the Lord Jesus been sent of his Father out of his bosom to declare the good-will of God and did it by which we are sanctified through the offering up of the body of Jesus Christ and this Lord Jesus Christ the Eternal Son of God he is the Mediator between God and poor sinners Come unto me all ye that are weary and heavy laden said Christ and I will give you rest now this grace is from God we are saved by grace and that not of our selves it is the gift of God through faith in Christ we are saved and all things that do pertain to life and godliness is the gift of God now all things are of God who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ to wit that God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself not imputing their trespasses unto him Would you know the forgiveness of your sins your peace with God and that God is well pleased with you God is reconciled by Jesus Christ unto you and does not impute your sins unto you but looks on the righteousness of Christ as satisfaction that thereby you might have the remission of your sins through the blood of Christ Be it known unto all men that through this mans preaching the forgiveness of sins Act. 13.38 39. and by him all that do believe are justified from all things from which they could not be by the Law of Moses now justification from sin and redemption from iniquity is through the knowledge of Christs death for your sins and his resurrection and now there is no other name given under heaven whereby we can be saved but by the name of Jesus and whosoever believeth in his name shall not perish but have everlasting life Joh. 5.24 It is the doctrine of Jesus Christ it is his word and I hope you will search the Scriptures and look into those things for your souls good when Christ says Verily verily I say unto you He that heareth my words and believeth them he hath everlasting life and shall not come into condemnation but is passed from death to life The reason why God does assure poor sinners they shall not pass into everlasting condemnation and perish is through his rich grace through his promises for he hath promised he will be merciful to our iniquities and our sins will remember no more and these his promises of grace which are all Yea and Amen in Christ are ratified by the blood of Christ the blood of Christ is the blood of the New Covenant and it is that by which we have the forgiveness remission and cleansing of all our sins Vndersheriff Mr. Gibbs let me interrupt you this is very good and pertinent but you have said these things over and over there is another of your friends is to speak and the time grows short pray go on to the matter or conclude Gibbs I shall speak a word or two as to the knowledge of forgiveness of sins by and through Jesus Christ and so the knowledge of the Resurrection of the dead it is the fruit of Jesus Christ for by the first man came death and by the second man Christ came life and God that has by his exceeding great and mighty power raised up Jesus Christ from the grave and power of sin he also shall raise us up by the same power and when he comes again the second time at his appearing and coming we shall see him and be made like to him and he will receive us to himself he is gone to prepare a place for us and in his Fathers house are many Mansions and if it were not so he would have told us And now God that hath given eternal life and forgiveness of sins unto his poor servants he will also when Jesus Christ shall come to judge the world receive him into his everlasting glory which is my Faith expectation and hope in God through Jesus Christ A man may bear his infirmities but a wounded Conscience who can bear When God smites who can bear and therefore I desire as I believe the forgiveness of all my sins through the rich grace of God through the bloodshed of Jesus Christ his Son every one must give account to God and as their works are so will their reward be either accepted by God as workers of Christ or condemned as workers of iniquity Last of all as to the separated Congregations to whom I belong I have observed in those few days that I have lived there is a great deal of animosity evil will hard censuring and abusing the precious Saints of Jesus Christ If they are in an error you that are in the truth instruct them and you may recover them out of the claws of the Devil Are you Christians and have the light of God in your Souls O then strengthen your Brethren do not give them nick-names and abuse them that 's not the way Christ teaches another lesson That if thine enemy hunger you shall feed them and if he be thirsty give him drink we should pray to the Lord that he would turn those that be out of his way into the right way Vndersheriff You know we must be all subject to Government every Congregation must not have a Ruler their Meetings are prohibited by good Authority and because they will not be obedient to good Government Gibbs I do not say that every Congregation must have a Ruler and I hope I speak the words of sobriety I hope you will put a charitable construction upon what I say As to the Magistrates I have a word or two Vndersheriff Speak well of them Gibbs Be not

and be no more that I may receive that comfort and satisfaction which I have longed and looked for Lord my hope is in thee thou wilt not fail them that put their trust in thee in thee is my trust and confidence if I perish I will perish at the feet of Jesus Christ O that thou wouldst humble me and seal up the pardon of my sins before I go hence and let thy Son Jesus Christ manifest his gracious presence with me and cloath me with that wedding garment of his righteousness and then take me into his arms and present me to his Father O that thou wouldest be pleased to strengthen and uphold me under this great stroke which thou hast been pleased to inflict upon me I kiss the rod and receive it thankfully from thy hand I had been undone to all eternity hadst thou not afflicted me blessed be thy Name that thou hast been pleased to send Jesus Christ upon him I depend upon him I cast my confidence who is the rock of ages and never failed any that came to him Hear me and answer me do for me and all thy Churches and people abundantly above what I can ask or think and all for the sake of the Lord Jesus Christ to whom with thy self and thy holy Spirit be all honour power and praise henceforth and for evermore Amen Mr. Tonge his Prayer O Most Glorious and Eternal Lord God thou that hast created the heavens and the earth and formedst of dust us thy poor creatures to which we are now returning Lord I beseech thee speak peace to my poor soul lift up the light of thy countenance upon me and let me see in thee and through faith in thy dear Son Jesus Christ that I am in covenant with thee and reconciled with thee Holy Lord I beseech thee let me see thy dear Son Jesus Christ sitting at thy right hand reconciling of me to thy self Let me find my soul washed in the blood of the Covenant of thy dear Son Jesus Christ Seal a pardon to me thy poor creature O Lord one smile of thy countenance is worth all the world blessed be thy Name that thou hast supported me hitherto Lord God I beseech thee finish thy good work thou hast begun in me and go along with me and strengthen and hold me to drink off this bitter cup. Be with me to the end Remember the Governours of this Nation O that thou wouldest showr down upon the King and Council thy mercies as thou showrest down rain on the ground that they may rule for thee and those that fear thy Name may live in happiness and peace under thee for the sake of thy dear Son Jesus Christ O Lord we pray thee remember all thy people and be good to them and deliver them out of their troubles and speak peace to them and let them know thou wilt deliver them Keep me to the end and uphold me by thy right hand and so receve me with joy for the sake of thy dear Son Jesus Christ to whom be all honour and power henceforward and for evermore Amen Mr. Gibbs his Prayer O Eternal Everliving and Everloving God who art a reconciled and loving Father unto thy poor unworthy Creatures before thee and unto all the children whom thou hast called to believe in thee O Lord this is no small priviledge that sinful dust and ashes mortal worms should have to do and to deal with so holy and infinite a God as thou art to make requests unto thee considering the vast disproportion that there is between thee and poor sinners Thou art of purer eyes than to behold any unclean thing in thy presence O Lord. We our selves are nothing but polluted rags and fountains of uncleanness from the crown of the head to the sole of the foot all the faculties of the soul and members of the body are all members of unrighteousness Were it not therefore that thou hast been pleased to give us good hopes and found out a way to hold communion with us which is through the Lord Jesus in whom thou are well pleased in whom thou hast spoke forgiveness of sins to our souls we durst not now stand before thee but thou hast promised that though our sins are as scarlet thou wilt make them as white as snow and though they be as crimson thou wilt make them as wool Thou hast opened a fountain of free grace and eternal mercy for poor sinners that through the blood of the Lord Jesus they may receive remission forgiveness cleansing and purging from all their sins Thou hast laid an All-sufficient help upon him who is able to save to the uttermost all that come to God by him We have nothing of our selves to bring unto God but sins to pardon and unclean souls to purge Thou hast been pleased to give thy Son and together with him freely to give us all things Thou hast given thy poor servant before thee saith that has brought salvation to his soul Thou hast saved him by thy free-grace not of works but through the mercies and blood of Jesus Christ and hast sprinkled the virtue of the blood of Christ in his conscience in the belief of the truth as it is in Jesus O blessed be thy Name that sent him to seek and to save us from condemnation who is risen with healing in his wings and hast set Christ before us that we should behold him that our sins have pierced Certainly great was that disease that needed such a medicine that nothing could expiate take away our sins and blot out the hand-writing that was against us but the precious blood of the Lord Jesus Christ as of a Lamb without spot he is now become our peace who has made peace for us through the blood of that his Cross and has made twain one in himself Jew and Gentile He was delivered up for our offences and rose again for our justification We in the knowledge of him being justified by faith we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ And blessed be thy Name O merciful God that has made such a Covenant of everlasting grace to poor sinners and the children that do believe in thee through Jesus Christ Thou hast said thou wilt be merciful to all our iniquities and sins and wilt remember them no more These are thy promises and they are Yea and Amen Christ in Jesus Thou hast made thy servant to hear thy voice in thy Son Thou hast been a merciful God to him and forgiven him all his sins and justified him freely through the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ Who shall condemn us or lay any thing to our Charge It is God that justifies who gave himself a ransom for our sins is risen again and now sits at the right Hand of God ever living and making intercession for us whose blood speaks better things than the blood of Abel His blood cryed for vengeance but the blood of Christ cries for peace and forgiveness God is
