A36515	A friendly debate between Satan and Sherlock containing a discovery of the unsoundness of Mr. William Sherlocks principles in a late book entituled A discourse concerning the knowledge of Jesus Christ &c., by this only medium, that they afford the Devil the same grounds for his hope of salvation that they do mankind, and so subvert the Gospel and transform Christianity into Mahumetanism / by an hearty enemy of Mahumetanism.	Danson, Thomas, d. 1694.	1676 (1676)	Wing D213; ESTC R24867	29,839	72

man_n salvation_n by_o a_o saviour_n the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n i_o have_v think_v the_o reason_n have_v be_v because_o there_o be_v no_o other_o mean_n of_o salvation_n but_o this_o which_o he_o alone_o do_v and_o can_v find_v out_o sherlock_n you_o be_v gross_o mistake_v for_o if_o justice_n be_v so_o natural_a to_o god_n that_o nothing_o can_v satisfy_v he_o but_o the_o death_n of_o his_o son_n the_o redemption_n of_o the_o world_n by_o christ_n may_v discover_v his_o justice_n or_o goodness_n but_o not_o his_o wisdom_n for_o wisdom_n consist_v in_o the_o choice_n of_o the_o best_a and_o fit_a mean_n to_o attain_v a_o end_n when_o there_o be_v more_o way_n than_o one_o of_o do_v it_o p._n 48._o i_o grant_v indeed_o that_o no_o doubt_n but_o the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n make_v great_a and_o glorious_a discovery_n of_o the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n ib._n and_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o wherein_o before_o in_o that_o he_o send_v his_o own_o son_n etc._n etc._n when_o he_o have_v attempt_v various_a way_n before_o with_o little_a success_n for_o the_o recovery_n of_o mankind_n p._n 89._o satan_n i_o pray_v proceed_v to_o your_o second_o head_n sherlock_n that_o suppose_v a_o saviour_n of_o absolute_a necessity_n to_o your_o salvation_n you_o need_v not_o absolute_o despair_v of_o one_o when_o we_o consider_v that_o this_o heavenly_a ambassador_n and_o mediator_n be_v no_o less_o than_o the_o eternal_a son_n of_o god_n by_o who_o the_o world_n be_v make_v we_o may_v reasanable_o conclude_v that_o he_o come_v upon_o no_o less_o design_n than_o of_o universal_a goodness_n for_o he_o can_v have_v no_o temptation_n to_o partiality_n as_o be_v equal_o concern_v in_o the_o happiness_n of_o all_o man_n and_o we_o can_v imagine_v why_o he_o shall_v lay_v a_o narrow_a design_n of_o love_n in_o the_o redemption_n than_o in_o the_o creation_n of_o mankind_n that_o when_o in_o the_o first_o he_o design_v all_o man_n for_o happiness_n in_o this_o new_a and_o second_o creation_n he_o shall_v design_n and_o intend_v the_o happiness_n only_o of_o some_o few_o p._n 82_o 83._o satan_n i_o see_v the_o force_n of_o your_o argumentation_n that_o the_o eternal_a son_n of_o god_n be_v my_o creator_n as_o well_o as_o man_n i_o may_v reasonable_o conclude_v he_o come_v upon_o no_o less_o design_n than_o of_o universal_a goodness_n to_o i_o as_o well_o as_o man_n for_o see_v he_o design_v i_o for_o happiness_n as_o well_o as_o mankind_n in_o the_o first_o creation_n why_o shall_v he_o design_v their_o happiness_n only_o and_o not_o i_o in_o the_o new_a and_o second_o creation_n for_o he_o as_o our_o common_a creator_n can_v have_v no_o temptation_n to_o partiality_n as_o be_v equal_o concern_v in_o the_o happiness_n of_o all_o his_o reasonable_a creature_n angel_n and_o men._n the_o small_a exception_n against_o this_o argumentation_n must_v give_v way_n to_o a_o great_a that_o you_o tell_v i_o before_o that_o none_o can_v believe_v in_o christ_n till_o he_o come_v p._n 247._o now_o i_o understand_v not_o why_o they_o can_v not_o if_o he_o be_v the_o eternal_a son_n of_o god_n by_o who_o the_o world_n be_v make_v for_o than_o he_o be_v pre-existent_a and_o be_v god_n they_o that_o live_v before_o he_o come_v in_o the_o flesh_n want_v not_o the_o ratio_fw-la formalis_fw-la of_o divine_a faith_n the_o authorety_n of_o god_n reveal_v but_o i_o presume_v you_o mean_v that_o christ_n be_v from_o eternity_n decree_v to_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n in_o time_n non_fw-la deus_fw-la natus_fw-la sed_fw-la factitius_fw-la not_o

not_o say_v a_o imaginary_a god_n prid._n lect._n 18_o and_o that_o the_o world_n make_v by_o he_o be_v non_fw-la quem_fw-la videmus_fw-la sed_fw-la quem_fw-la expectamus_fw-la not_o the_o world_n which_o we_o see_v but_o a_o settlement_n of_o the_o gospel-dispensation_n and_o now_o i_o think_v on_o it_o it_o come_v much_o to_o one_o for_o my_o comfort_n see_v he_o be_v send_v by_o our_o common_a creator_n who_o can_v have_v no_o temptation_n to_o partiality_n in_o send_v christ_n for_o man_n only_o and_o not_o for_o angel_n as_o be_v equal_o concern_v in_o all_o our_o happiness_n to_o dismiss_v this_o there_o be_v one_o obvious_a objection_n against_o my_o inference_n of_o your_o own_o suggestion_n the_o son_n of_o god_n be_v make_v a_o man_n as_o we_o be_v which_o argue_v a_o good_a will_n and_o kindness_n to_o humane_a nature_n p._n 81_o 82._o but_o i_o think_v i_o can_v answer_v it_o myself_o that_o the_o son_n of_o god_n admit_v a_o innumerable_a company_n of_o my_o fellow-angel_n to_o attend_v upon_o he_o as_o mediator_n argue_v a_o good_a will_n and_o kindness_n to_o angelical_a nature_n there_o be_v another_o too_o which_o i_o will_v not_o now_o put_v you_o to_o answer_v have_v give_v you_o so_o great_a a_o trouble_n already_o but_o will_v consider_v of_o it_o by_o myself_o the_o objection_n be_v this_o that_o it_o be_v no_o partiality_n for_o the_o son_n of_o god_n though_o he_o have_v take_v the_o nature_n common_a to_o mankind_n to_o save_v as_o few_o as_o he_o please_v for_o partiality_n or_o respect_n of_o person_n have_v no_o place_n in_o grant_v largess_n or_o bestow_v donative_n and_o if_o so_o it_o be_v no_o partiality_n to_o save_v mankind_n and_o leave_v i_o to_o the_o ruin_n i_o have_v bring_v upon_o myself_o it_o be_v the_o calvinist_n answer_n to_o your_o great_a argument_n for_o universal_a redemption_n and_o it_o leave_v some_o scruple_n upon_o my_o mind_n upon_o the_o whole_a of_o your_o discourse_n i_o perceive_v i_o slip_v my_o time_n for_o want_n of_o due_a information_n of_o regain_n the_o love_n of_o god_n without_o a_o saviour_n for_o that_o i_o may_v have_v do_v any_o time_n before_o he_o come_v in_o the_o flesh_n for_o no_o man_n nor_o angel_n can_v believe_v in_o christ_n till_o he_o come_v but_o that_o time_n be_v go_v and_o pass_v and_o can_v be_v recall_v i_o must_v now_o for_o my_o comfort_n consider_v what_o he_o have_v do_v and_o suffer_v and_o how_o the_o benefit_n of_o both_o may_v redound_v to_o i_o first_o then_o i_o consider_v that_o his_o active_a righteousness_n must_v be_v impute_v to_o i_o so_o far_o as_o it_o be_v a_o conformity_n to_o that_o law_n of_o nature_n which_o be_v common_a to_o i_o and_o mankind_n sherlock_n this_o make_v christ_n suitable_a to_o the_o want_n of_o a_o sinner_n indeed_o that_o he_o ha●●_n a_o righteousness_n for_o he_o which_o god_n infinite_o prefer_v before_o any_o homespun_a righteousness_n of_o his_o own_o this_o be_v a_o very_a comfortable_a notion_n for_o bad_a man_n and_o such_o as_o i_o will_v not_o part_v with_o for_o all_o the_o world_n do_v i_o resolve_v to_o live_v wicked_o and_o yet_o intend_v to_o get_v to_o heaven_n p._n 234._o satan_n what_o sir_n do_v you_o jeer_v sherlock_n i_o tell_v you_o that_o abraham_n and_o all_o the_o good_a man_n of_o old_a never_o hear_v of_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n impute_v to_o we_o p._n 256._o satan_n no_o i_o see_v st._n paul_n be_v a_o man_n of_o no_o credit_n with_o you_o he_o say_v that_o abraham_n have_v a_o righteousness_n without_o work_n impute_v to_o he_o that_o can_v not_o be_v his_o own_o righteousness_n for_o that_o be_v contradictio_fw-la in_o adjecto_fw-la to_o say_v he_o have_v a_o righteousness_n of_o his_o own_o without_o work_n of_o his_o own_o as_o your_o school_n say_v righteousness_n result_v from_o the_o conformity_n of_o work_n to_o a_o law_n it_o must_v therefore_o be_v the_o righteousness_n of_o another_o and_o who_o that_o other_o shall_v be_v but_o christ_n i_o can_v tell_v but_o i_o will_v be_v glad_a to_o learn_v sherlock_n the_o great_a dispute_n in_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o roman_n be_v whether_o we_o must_v be_v justify_v by_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n or_o by_o the_o faith_n of_o christ_n i._n e._n whether_o the_o observation_n of_o all_o the_o external_a rite_n and_o ceremony_n of_o the_o law_n and_o a_o external_a conformity_n of_o our_o action_n to_o the_o moral_a precept_n of_o it_o will_v justify_v a_o man_n before_o god_n or_o that_o fincere_a and_o universal_a obedience_n which_o the_o law_n require_v p._n 245._o satan_n one_o will_v think_v that_o it_o have_v be_v unquestionable_a that_o abrahaus_n can_v not_o have_v have_v whereof_o to_o glory_v if_o he_o have_v be_v justify_v by_o a_o external_a conformity_n to_o the_o ceremonial_a and_o moral_a precept_n of_o the_o law_n but_o i_o perceive_v one_o may_v live_v and_o learn_v but_o though_o there_o be_v no_o
