A43721	The saints justified and their accusers found out: or an answer to the great dragons message, put forth in five positions by one of his messengers Who for this purpose made use of Edward Laurance priest at Bast-church, a place so called in the county of Salop, who at a dispute at Milford-Hall in the said county, not far from the said steeple-house, stood up to prove the 5. positions, and there contended for his masters kingdom, that none could not but live in sin while they were upon the earth, (no not the saints) whom he there accused to live in sin; and other falsities he stood up to prove, producing scriptures to that end, but left all unproved to anies understanding there who had the least true discerning to discerne with. Also a few queries put forth to be answered by the aforesaid priest (if he will) or any else of his brethren. By a witnesse against the dragons message (of mans alwayes living in sin here) and for the truth, called Richard Hickock.	Hickock, Richard.	1660 (1660)	Wing H1917A; ESTC R221599	13,211	17

c. If we say otherwise we deceive our selves c. If you Priests could finde a Scripture that saith so you would not hide it but none of these say so and John who was a witness of the same things with Paul said if you abide in the Light as he is in the Light then have you fellowship one with another and the Blood of Jesus Christ cleanseth us from all sin 1 John 1.7 For he was one who knew the true time of confession of sin and the time of deliverance from it so was a fit Minister to declare unto others of such conditions And whereas the Scriptures say there is not a just man upon the Earth that doth good and sinneth not and there is none that doeth good no not one c. This also is true in its place and time for the best of mans performances which is not the true Spirits work is but as filthy clothing which though they who live after the flesh call the work good and them that do it holy yet with the Lord they are not numbred so nor with his Saints and the Apostle said we know we are of God all the World lies in wickedness but he did not say that all that are in this place called the World lies in wickedness and John saw just men who lived not in sin who were cleansed from sin by the Blood of Jesus and Paul saw just men who brought forth fruit unto holiness and David said mark the perfect man and behold the upright for the end of that man is peace and there were many just men the Scripture makes mention of some of which are before mentioned which did good and cannot be charged with sin and in the same Chapter wherein it s said there is not a just man upon the Earth doth the same man that spake those words declare of a pure estate seeing I finde more bitter then death the woman whose heart is snares and nets and her hands as bands who so pleaseth God shall escape from her and where he exhorts from abounding in wickedness and an overmuch righteousness yet he saith he that feareth God shall come forth of them all Now take notice that as there is an overmuch wickedness so there is an overmuch righteousness now that righteousness which stands not in the Power of God is a righteousness which is over much which as the fear of God is witnessed it is come out off and in an overmuch righteousness some were in the Prophets dayes with which the Lord was wearied as Isa 1.11.13 14. and so on and the Scribes and Pharisees who had the Law in their Synogogues every Sabbath day and thought in the Scriptures to have Eternall life they were in a righteousness which was heapt above the righteousness of Christ and they were counted just and holy men in their time by such who were in the same worship and their worship they counted holy yet by the Spirit of the Lord it was counted an abomination and the prayers of the wicked is abomination and by this generation the true Prophets and Apostles were persecuted to death as deceivers and themselves went under the Names of holy just and righteous men so accounted of their brethren who consented with them but amongst such just men as these there is none that doeth good and sinneth not and whereas the Preacher said there is not a just man that doeth good and sinneth not he did not speak this of such who was in the Power of God who stood in his Councell and aboad in his will but to Idiots and Novices who be out of the Power of God the Spirits sayings be a mystery And you who say David was a man after Gods own heart and yet he was a sinner how is your wisdom become foolishness and night come upon you for a vision well may it be said of you as Isaiah said of those Teachers in his time that they were all blinde Isa 56.10 Surely if you had known the Scriptures you had been more wise then to asserted such a thing as this for where the Scripture makes mention of Davids sinning it gives no such testimony that David was a man after Gods own heart as he was a sinner but there is proof enough to shew that he was a man after Gods own heart as he walked uprightly before the Lord it 's time for you to throw aside your Retorick Logick and Heathenish Phylosophie it do's you no good nor gives you no Light in the knowledge of the things of God nor t is not like for the treasure of wisdom is not there to be found that 's in Christ as Paul witnessed Col. 2 3 4.8 9 10 11. The second Position Pr. That the Holy Scriptures is the Word of God proose in Exodus 20.1 Ephe. 6.17 Col. 3.16 c. Ans Now if these Scriptures proves the Scriptures to be the word of God the first here quoted declares of the ten Commandments but speaks not one word that the Scripture is the Word of God and at that time the most of the Scriptures were not written The second here quoted saith the Helmet of Salvation the Sword of the Spirit is the Word of God but doth not say the Scriptures is the word of God and they who know any thing of God or have but one graine of true discerning knows that the Scriptures is not the Sword of the Spirit and the last here quoted shewes that the Apostle exhorted the Collossians to let the Word of Christ dwell in them rightly he did not say let the Scriptures and call that the Word of God dwell in you that is your dark consequence Imaginations and conceivings from the Scripture in calling them so and its in vain for you to cast such dark foggs and mist before the children of Light for they will not walk in them having the Light we walk in the Light and exhorts others unto the same Now concerning the Word that 's Christs Name Rev. 19.13.15 whence had you your Authority to rob Christ of his Name and give it to the Scriptures but what will ye not do when you will give his Name to the devils words as thou Edward Laurance did when thou went about to prove his words the Word of God and for the Scriptures we own them in their places and exhort People to read them and to give that honour to them which is due to wit to come unto it which they point at which is the anointing the Light the Grace of God which is Christ the Word nigh to whom all come to Learn that are saved and that believe in the Light and this the Scripture directs to as Joh. 5.39 4● and 2 Pet. 1.19 and 1 John 2.20.27 Titus 2.11 12. c. And herein is true honour given to the Scriptures but you dishonour them and him ye point unto who lurry them up and down like a pedlers pack from Market to market where you put them to sale to as great extortion
