Passages I have found in any of my former Books I have very freely and willingly Retracted and I thank God who has given me a Heart so to do and I pray God that he may be pleas'd to work the like willingness in the Hearts of all my Adversaries to Confess and Retract their Errors as I have done mine But what of Truth I have writ in any of my former Books either concerning the Light Within or any other Subject I Retain and I hope shall continue so to do to my dying moment And besides my particular Retractation of particular Passages I have in my said Book made a general Retractation of all that is not according to the Doctrine of the Holy Scripture to which I now add And of all contrary to the 39 Articles of the Church of England all which I do Believe to be perfectly agreeable to the Holy Scriptures Which I hope will satisfie the Moderate and Impartial but for others it is in vain for me to indeavour to satisfie them who will not be satisfied And notwithstanding the Clamour of my Adversaries against me of my Unconstancy and Inconsistency in Principles would they but give me a fair meeting before Impartial Witnesses I could shew much more their Unconstancy and Inconsistency ten fold than what they can shew of mine The Second thing that B. Cool blames me for both in his Preface and Book is for Quoting a Passage in my Synopsis out of W. Pen's Serious Apology p. 146. But that He viz. That Outward Person that Suffered at Jerusalem was properly the Son of God we utterly deny This B. Cool calls a Juggle See saith B.C. the Jugling of this Man But upon due Examination the Juggle will be found not to be mine but his and that base and sordid But thus it is Their Credit of Infallibility is so great a matter with them like the great Diana of the Ephesians that they will commit the greatest and most sordid Equivocation tho' ever so obvious and apparent rather than own their Error as is evident in the present Case But where is the Juggle Have I Quoted him wrong He doth not pretend that I have for he grants they are W. Pen's words But let us see whether his Gloss on W. Pen's words will excuse him he saith By the outward Person he meant no more than Flesh Blood and Bones abstract not only from the Godhead that dwelt in him but also from the very Soul of Christ as he was Man But that this Gloss is a Juggle will appear from what follows First The Question betwixt W. Pen and his Opponent who was a Presbyterian Minister in Ireland was not whether Flesh Blood and Bones abstract from the Godhead and the Soul of Christ was that outward Person that suffered at Jerusalem for it was not a Dead and Lifeless Body that suffered but a Living Body and such a Living Body that was Animated with a Rational Soul the Noblest that ever was and together with the Soul was Personally united to the Godhead And the like Juggle W. Pen himself is guilty of as G. Whitehead quotes him in his Truths Defence p. 72. Thus Defending his Assertion That he meant the Body which suffered was not properly the entire Son of God But none of his Opponents ever so said nor do I know that ever any Man did so Assert and that being no part of the Controversy cannot be the true meaning of W. Pen's assertion Secondly The outward Person doth as necessarily import and signify both the Soul and Godhead of Christ jointly with the Body as B. Cool who is an outward Person imports and signifieth both Soul and Body of B. Cool And if B. Cool should borrow or owe Money can it be said That it was only B. Cool's Flesh Blood and Bones abstractly from his Soul that owes that Money and should pay the Debt Our blessed Lord who was that outward Person that suffered for us and paid the debt of our Sins when he Died for us was not Flesh Blood and Bones without his Soul nor without his Godhead Therefore to make such an Abstraction is a meer Juggle And by the like Evasion if I should say That outward Person B. Cool is not a Man but a Beast doth he think that it would excuse me to say I meant B. Cool abstractly consider'd from his Rational Soul having only a Sensitive Soul in him common to him with the Beasts And he may as well say a piece of Wood abstract from its Length or Breadth or Depth is not a Body Whereas such an Abstraction is a Contradiction for we can conceive no Body without its true Dimensions no more can we conceive a Person without the Parts whereof that person consists But let B. Cool tell us That outward Person that Suffered whose Son was he properly If he was not properly the Son of God Mary was not a Virgin To say he was the Son of Mary as one of B. Cool's Brethren lately answered at Turners-Hall was no proper Answer to the Question but an Evasion the Question being not who was his Mother but who was his Father And as impertinent to the Question was it to Answer That he was the Son of David and Abraham for they were but his remote mediate Fathers But I ask B. Cool Who was his Immediate Father as he was Man If God then as Man that very outward Person was the Son of God as really and properly and more really and properly as that Outward Person called B. Cool was his Fathers Son Yet not so that either our Saviours Soul or Body was any part of the Godhead but because his Soul and Body was Personally United to the Eternal Word Eternally and before all Ages and Creatures begotten of the Father and that as Man he was miraculously Conceived by the Power of the Holy Ghost and Born of the Virgin Mary Thirdly That W. Penn's Vile Error and Heresie and B. Cools Juggle may yet more appear it is Evident from W. Penn's Words in his other Books that he thinks that outward Person that Suffered at Jerusalem was no part of the true Christ But that as he hath affirm'd he was called Christ by a Metonymie of the thing containing getting the Name of the thing contained as a Vessel that holds Wine is called Wine yet this Vessel is no part of the Wine and that the Body of Christ is called the Christ he saith that is Metonymically spoken the thing containing for the thing contained see W. Penns Rejoynder to Jo. Faldo p. 304. Had he said it was a Synecdoche of the part put for the whole he had spoke as a Christian but a Metonimy makes the Body nor yet the Soul not to be any part of the true Christ And in his p. 300 he saith Christ qualified that Body for his Service but that Body did not Constitute Christ he is Invisible and ever was so to the Vngodly World that was not his Body By all which it Evidently appears
