Cranford Beware of false Prophets which come to you in sheeps cloathing but inwardly are ravening Wolves Mat. 7.15 There are certaine men crept in unawares who were before of old ordained to this condemnation ungodly men turning the grace of our God into lasciviousnesse Jude 4. For when they speake great swelling words of vanity they allure through the lusts of the flesh through much wantonnesse those that were cleane escaped from them who live in errour for while they promise them liberty they themselves are the servants of corruption 2 Pet. 2 18.19 London Printed by T. B. for Ed. Blakmore and Tho. Bankes and are to be sold at the Angell in Pauls Church-yard and upon the top of Bridewell-staires 1643. 1 THey hold that a man is justified as soon as he hath a being in the sight of God before they have any faith or calling 2 Then they say God cannot see their sinne for they are as perfectly righteous even as Christ himselfe as soone as they have any being and faith doth but declare to them what was done in them before they had it even as soone as they were borne 3 This they know by revelation or a bare Testimony or suggestion they say from the Spirit of God when as they deny the operation or the sanctifying worke of the Spirit of God to be any meanes whereby they may come to know their justification for so to doe they say is the doctrine of our legall Teachers which goe by markes and signes 4 Then they being as righteous as Christ they say God doth not correct them for sinne neither can he doe it but onely to exercise their faith 5 They are freed they say by the free grace of Christ from the commanding power of the law of God and they are discharged from all duty or obedience to it and now the law is no rule to them but what they doe is onely out of love unrequired not as any duty for they are freed from all by their free grace These things I have gathered both from their Sermons and by conference with them as also out of their books which have passed privately amongst themselves TO THE READER CHristian Reader now in these last perilous dayes the divel is very busie to sowe the Tares of Heresies even in the Corn-field of Christ especially when men sleep and heed him not and therefore Christians had need to be circumspect watchfull because their adversary the divel as a roaring lyon walketh about seeking whom he may devour 1 Pe. 5.8 Then be no more tossed too fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine by the sleight of men and cunning craftinesse whereby they lye in waite to deceive Ephe. 4.14 I say be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines for it is good that the heart be established with grace Heb. 13.9 Watch ye stand fast in the faith quit ye like men and be strong take unto you the whole Armour of God that ye may be able to stand stand therefore having your loynes girt about with truth Ephe. 6. and having laid the true foundation which is Christ Jesus be ye rooted and built up in him and established in the faith as ye have been taught Col. 2.7 if so be ye have been taught by him as the truth is in Jesus Ephe. 4. I write unto you and exhort you that you would earnestly contend for the faith that was once delivered unto the Saints Jude 3. onely let your conversation be as becometh the Gospell of Christ and that ye stand fast in one spirit with one mind striving together for the faith of the Gospell Phil. 2.27 and the gates of hell shall not prevaile against you They that trust in the Lord shall be as Mount Zion which cannot be moved but abideth for ever Psal 125. it is true that offences must needs come but woe be to that man by whom they come Mat. 18.7 for there must be also heresies among you that they which are approved may be made manifest 1 Cor. 11.9 then seeke no novelties or new doctrines but rather stand in the wayes and see and aske for the old pathes where is the good way and walk ye in it and ye shall find rest for your soules Jer. 6.16 thinke of no other way to heaven but that which our fathers have gone in before you for the time is come that men will not endure sound doctrine but after their owne lusts they will heape up to themselves teachers having itching eares they will turne away their eares from the truth and shall be turned unto fables but watch you in all things 2 Tim. 4.3 4 5. Beloved beleeve not every spirit but try the spirits whether they be of God because many false Prophets are gone out into the world 1 John 4.1 follow Paul but as he followes Christ and be ye like the noble Bereans who searched the Scriptures daily to see whether those things were so Acts 17.11 affect neither Paul nor Apollos nor Cephas nor any other but as they ground their doctrine on the cleere word of God for seducers will labour to steale away your affections and your mony also as Absalom by flattery stole away the hearts of the men of Israel 2. Sam. 15.6 they will teach for hire and divine for money Micah 3.11 but saith Paul I seeke not yours but you 2 Cor. 12.14 but seducers will creep into houses about Moor-fields and other places and lead captive silly women laden with their lusts they will set upon those that are led away with their lusts who are ever learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth 2 Tim. 3.6 7. let no man deceive you for with faire speeches they will deceive the hearts of the simple who beleeve every thing but the wise lookes well to his going Prov. 14.15 thus through covetousnesse they will with faigned words make merchandise of you 2 Pet. 2.3 then heare those that have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty and doe not walke in craftinesse nor handle the word of God deceitfully but by manifestation of the truth doe commend themselves to every mans conscience in the sight of God 2 Cor. 4.2 who are not as many who corrupt the Word of God but as of sincerity but as of God in the sight of God so speak they in Christ 2 Cor. 2.17 saith Paul though we or an Angell of Heaven

joyned to Idols let him alone Hosea 4.14.17 so when the L●●d smote Uzzah for his errour that he dyed David was afraid of the Lord t●●t day 2 Sam. 6.7.8 when Christ said to his Apostles one of you shall betray me every one suspected his owne heart saying Lord is it I Mat. 26. then let not us say God cannot correct us nor any other for our sinnes which is one maine cause why they refuse the covenant but let them know if God have forgiven them yet he will take vengeance on their inventions Psal 99.8 then if God send Jonah to cry against the wickednesse of Niniveh and he goe to Tarshesh from the presence of the Lord God will send a great and mighty wind and tempest so that the ship was like to be broken and Jonah forced to confesse and say for my sake this great tempest is come upon you Ionah 1.2.12 the judge of all the earth will doe right Gen. 18. and ye shall know that I have not done without cause all that I have done saith the Lord God Ezek. 14.23 and when some received the Sacrament unworthily for this cause many were sicke and weake and many dead 1 Cor. 11. then doth not God correct his people for sinne or will they say they dye onely for ●ryall for these men were some of them Gods people which shall not be condemned with the world ver 32. judgement beginneth at the house of God 1 Pet. 4.17 which makes David say my flesh trembleth for feare of thee and I am afraid of thy judgements Psal 119.120 Hab. 3.15 but these people are so full of mirth from those following grounds that they brake out into laughter saying they cannot sinne being in Christ and if they should yet God cannot see it or if he should chance to see it he cannot be displeased with it or if he should be displea●ed his hands are bound that he cannot correct them for it then they must neither repent nor be sorry nor pray for the pardon of any sinne neither past present nor to come neither must they heare of their sinnes any more this fils their faces full of comfort when their hearts have cause enough to be heavy saith Salomon he is the happy man that feareth alwayes Prov. 28.14 when this feare stirres up watchfulnesse and diligence to please God with reverence and godly feare H●b 12.28 a child may feare his fathers rod although he feare not to be disinherited even the reghteous shall see and feare Psal 52.6 legall threatnings cannot hurt the righteous saith David let the righteous smite me it shall be a kindnesse and let him reprove me it shall be an excellent oyle which shall not breake mine head Psal 141.6 these lower hearbs will make us relish promises the better and stick faster to them and it will inflame our love to God more deeper for saving us from those dangers threatned and it will stirre up compassion in us towards our brethren to helpe them out of those dangers and to worke out our owne salvation with feare and trembling Phil. 2.11 Thus they being justified as soone as they are borne and then as righteous as Christ this they know from a bare testimony or revelation or suggeestion then God cannot correct nor punish them for sin now it followes that they are freed from the commanding power of the law of God by their free grace they are discharged from all duty or obedience to it now the law of God is no rule for them but wh●● they doe is onely out of love and curtesie for they owe God nothing at all Here I grant that the Juditiall law was not made for us and the ceremoniall law was ended in Christ but the morrall law abides for ever I meane the commanding and discovering power of it remaines as a glasse to beleevers and as a rule or a bridle to keep them in continuall obedience to the Lord. And whereas it is said If ye be led by the Spirit ye are not vnder the law but under grace Gal. 5.18 it is to be understood you do obey the law freely without the lashing or constraining power of the law and where it is said sin shall not have dominion over you for you are not under the law but under grace Rom. 3.13 this is plain that if sinne have dominion over you you are under the curse and condemning power of the law but from the raigne of sinne and from the curse of the law you are freed by Christ Rom. 8.1 Gal. 3.13 This curse and condemning power of the law is not made for a righteous man but for the ungodly for sinners and unholy for murtherers and whoremongers theeves and lyars and perjured persons or any other sinne that is contrary to sound doctrine 1. Tim. 1.9.10 Wherefore the law is holy and the commandement holy just and good Rom. 7.12 but they will have the commanding power of the law to last but till John the Batpist because it is said the law and the Prophets were untill John Luke 16.16 and the law was added for transgressors till the seed should come Gal. 3.19 I answer they prophesied of Christ till John Mat. 11.13 but when John shewed them the Messiah and poynted to him with his finger saying Behold the Lambe of God that taketh away the sinnes of the world John 1.29 then they ceased to prophesie or to foretell of his coming when they saw him but to say that the law should la●● but till John is yet to prove and cannot be gathered from this place For til● the law sinne was in the world Rom. 5.13 but will they gather from hence that there was no sinne in the world after that the law was given if Mical be childlesse till her death she must needs be so for ever and Paul saith to Timothie Till I come give attendance to reading exhortation and doctrine neglect not the gift that is in thee 1. Tim. 4.13.14 but after that Paul is come must he neglect these duties because it is said do them till I come thus they force the Scriptures to favour their errours Then they say Christ is the end of the law for righteousnesse so I say too for he hath put an end to all types and shadowes of the Ceremoniall law and he hath put an end to the curse and bondage of the morall law Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law being made a curse for us Gal. 3.13 and from the condemning power of it Rom. 8.1 but if we speak of obedience to the commanding power of the law Christ is the scop and end to which all our obedience tends and he is the end for whose sake all the promises are made good unto us and not for our obedience and he alone gives being and performance to them all 2 Cor. 1.20 and he is the end of the law for righteousnesse that is the law brings us to Christ for righteousnesse and in him we have righteousnesse ●● fulfil the laws not
