A96990	A vindication of W.P. from the erronious [sic] and false testimony of Thomas Budd: being in answer to a sheet of his, entituled, A testimony for truth, against error. / By Joseph Wyeth.	Wyeth, Joseph, 1663-1731.	1697 (1697)	Wing W3763; ESTC R186899	10,261	29

comes by Actual Righteousness and not Imputative There are Three more Conclusions which follow and which for brevity sake I omit willing only to recite so much as may take in all that T. Budd has here and there pick'd to make up his Quotation only next immediately after the Three Conclusions which I say I have left out there follows a short Confession of our Faith which it may be of Service to the Honest-minded to publish as also a Testimony against the Apostacy Hypocricy and Envy of T. Budd who could not but see it when he mangled that part of the Book as he thought for his Service It is in p. 149. VVe do believe only in one Holy God Almighty who is an Eternal Spirit the Creator of all Things And one Lord Jesus Christ his only Son and Express Image of his Substance who took upon him Flesh and was in the VVorld and in Life Doctrine Miracles Death Resurrection Ascension and Mediation perfectly did and does continue to do the Will of God to whose Holy Life Power Mediation and Blood we only ascribe our Sanctification Justification Redemption and perfect Salvation And we believe in one Holy Spirit that proceeds and breaths from the Father and the Son as the Life and Virtue of both the Father and the Son a measure of which is given to all to profit with and he that has One has all for those Three are One who is the Alpha and the Omega the First and the Last God over all Blessed for ever Amen T. Budd's Sixth Charge against VV. P. is The Denying the Messiah the Christ of God for which he Cites a Book Entituled The Christian Quaker written by G. VV. and W. P. against the Injurious Attempts of many Adversaries and it will stand against the weak though black Attempts of this Man who in this Quotation of his has with a hardned Face cut a Sentence a-sunder in the midst which I question whether any Spanish Inquisitor has yet done when he willingly raked in a Book for Heresie his Quotation is thus Chr. Quaker p. 96. Abraham saw my Day and Rejoyced They still harping upon that visible Body not Thirty Years Old Replied Thou art not yet Fifty and hast thou seen Abraham Taking that to be the Messiah the Christ of God and Saviour of the World he meant which they saw with their Carnal Eyes I shall now give the Quotation from the Book it self but am obliged to Recite the whole Paragraph the above Quotation being in the middle and the whole being so dependant upon every part that it cannot without some hurt to the meaning of the whole be separated it is thus Chr. Quaker p. 96. Before I conclude take this notable saying of Christ to the Jews and what may be collected from it to our purpose Before Abraham was I am Abraham saw my Day and Rejoyced John 8. 56 57 58. which affords us briefly thus much That though he was not so visibly come yet it was the very same HE that came about One Thousand Six Hundred Years ago who was with the Fathers of Old and that Abraham who Lived Nineteen Hundred Years before that outward Appearance saw him and his Day If this be not the import of the place I know none for the Jews not believing him to be the Messiah thought it high Persumption for him to compare with Abraham Art thou greater than our Father Abraham who is Dead and the Prophets are Dead Vnto which he answered that he might prove himself to be the true Messiah the Christ of God the foregoing part of this Sentence as also the explanatory Parenthesis T. B. cut off and begins his here Abraham saw my Day and rejoyced They still harped upon that Visible Body not Thirty-three Years Old replied Thou art not yet Fifty and hast thou seen Abraham Taking that to be the Messiah the Christ of God and Saviour of the World he meant which they saw with their Carnal Eyes To which he rejoyned with a Verily Verily I say unto you before Abraham was I am then took they up Stones to cast at him c. By all which it is most clear that unless our Adversaries will deny him that so spoke which yet T. Hicks 's Anti-Scriptural Opinion doth imply to be Christ who singled and distinguish'd himself as the Messiah the Christ of God and Saviour of the World from that Visible Body not Fifty Years Old indeed both Christ that spoke then must needs have been long before Abraham 's Time and that such Holy Ancients were not without a sight and prospect of him and the day of his Glorious Appearance or that most Signal Manifestation of himself in that Body prepared for that Great and Holy Purpose witness the exceeding Clear and Heavenly Prophecies that were as so many Fore-runners or Introductions of the Evangelical State This true Quotation does sufficiently shew W. P. to own and believe in the Messiah the Christ of God I come now to T. Budd's Seventh Charge viz. Christ the Son of the Virgin denied by W. P. to be the Seed of the Promise In this Charge T. Budd has hid his head he having made a Quotation but named no Book nor any Page where his I doubt not false Quotation may be found therefore I pass it by without notice T. Budd's Eighth Charge is The Resurrection of the Body denied by W. P. The Book he quotes is W. P 's Rejoynder to John Faldo p. 369 370. his Quotation runs thus W. P. saith But suppose J. F 's Relative it to hold I do deny that this Text viz. It is Sown a Natural Body it is Raised a Spiritual Body is concerned in the Resurrection of Man's Carnal Body at all I say this doth not concern the Resurrection of Carnal Bodies but the two States of Men under the first and Second Adam In this as in the former he has plaid the Inquisitor taking here and there a Line as best liked him only his pretence may be more fairly made for clipping this than any of the former for they were all English but here is a little Greek and Latin yet of the English he has not taken all he ought and might have done I will Recite the two Paragraphs out of which he has pillaged his Quotation The Greek Text is first set down and then the Latin Translation it runs thus 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 1 Cor. 15. 44. Seritur Corpus animale resuscitatur corpus spirituale i. e. A Natural Body is Sown a Spiritual Body is Raised That is They lay down a Natural and take up a Spiritual Body or in lieu of a Natural receive a Spiritual Body not that the Natural Body shall be Transubstantiated into a Spiritual Body or that admitting of such an exchange that the Spiritual is the same Numerical Body that was the Natural for so the Natural and Spiritual Body would be one and the same but suppose J. Faldo 's Relative It to hold I do utterly deny that this

the offended Infinite Justice of his Father AGainst this Rigid and Unscriptural Doctrine VV. P. brings about Fifteen Texts of Scripture and from them shews the great Forgiveness of God after them in p. 17 18. he refutes this Doctrine from Right Reason shewing why Jesus Christ as Man could not be a plenary Satisfaction the place is thus p. 18. 6. Tbe Justice Offended being Infinite his Satisfaction ought to bear a proportion therewith which Jesus Christ as Man could never pay he being Finite and from a Finite Cause could not proceed an Infinite Effect for so Man may be said to bring forth God since nothing below the Divinity of Christ it self can rightly be Stiled Infinite Of this Reason T. Budd cut off the last Line But to go on W. P. having in this and six or seven particulars more shewn the contrariety of the Doctrine above to Right Reason he then numbers up nine Irreligious and Irrational Consequences from the afore Doctrine The seventh and eighth Consequences in p. 19. runs thus Since Christ could not pay what was not his own it follows that in the payment of his own the case still remains equally grievous since the debt is not hereby absolved or fogiven but transfer'd only and by consequence we are no better provided for Salvation than before owing that now to the Son which was once owing to the Father 8. It no way renders Man beholding or in in the least oblig'd to God since by their Doctrine he would not have abated us nor did he Christ the least Farthing so that the acknowledgments are peculiarly the Sons which destroys the whole Current of Scripture Testimony for his good will towards Men. O the Infamous Portraiture this Doctrine draws of the Infinite Goodness Is this your Retribution O Injurious Satisfactionists Of this T. B. in his Quotation hath taken but about two Lines T. B's Third Charge is That W. P. hath denyed Jesus Christ the Son of God that Died at Jerusalem his Quotation is out of Serious Apology in Answer to T. Jenner p. 146. W. P. saith He T. Jenner takes up a whole Chapter in his endeavours to prove That we deny the Lord that bought us because we deny that Person the Son of God that Died at Jerusalem to be our Redeemer It will be convenient here to give some Brief Account of this Book before I give the Quotation out of it in order to its better Understanding which in short is this This Book Entituled A Serious Apology c. was written by W. P. in Answer and for the Clearing of the People called Quakers from the Malicious Aspersions Erronious Doctrines and Horid Blasphemies of Tho. Jenner and Timothy Taylor in a Book of theirs Entituled Quakerism Anatomized and Confuted In which Book among other things they say The Quakers deny the Lord that brought them c. In reply to this W. P. in p. 146. of the Apology says 1st He takes up a whole Chapter in his endeavours to prove that we deny the Lord that bought us though very falsly and with equal insuccess And here he brings in a Quotation out of Quakerism Anatomized c. p. 153 154. The Quotation is thus out of Jenner Because we deny that Person the Son of God that Dyed at Jerusalem to be our Redeemer And immediately W. P. subjoyns which most horid Imputation has been Answered more I believe than a Thousand times that is That he that laid down his Life and suffered his Body to be Crucified by the Jews without the Gates of Jerusalem is Christ the only Son of the most High God But that the outward Person or Body only which is what VV. P. meant as appears by what follow which Suffered was properly the Son of God we utterly deny and it is a perfect Contradiction to their own Principles A Body hast thou prepared me said the Son then the Son was not the Body though the Body was the Sons this brings him more under the charge of making him but a meer Man than us who acknowledge him to be One with the Father and of a Nature Eternal and Immortal for he was Glorified with the Father before the VVorld was The Patching and Horrid Forgery of T. Budd in this place is surely without Example for here he has not been content only to pick a Line but also to joyn to it as VV. P's a Quotation which VV. P. took out of his Adversaries Book to Answer as above To this Forgery he has also added Folly in that after picking two or three Lines of the last Quotation he has laid them down in his Sheet as a Charge of a different Nature from the last mentioned which he makes his Fifth Charge but this his Folly Blind Malice and Forgery falls back upon himself Such is the Shame and Confusion of him and all others who by Apostatizing from the Spirit of Truth are become Darkness I proceed now to T. Budd's Fourth Charge drawn out of p. 148. of this same Book and which is That VV. P. denies Justification by an Imputative Righteousness T. Budd's Quotation runs thus That we deny Justification by the Righteousness which Christ hath fulfilled in his own Person for us wholly without us and therefore deny the Lord that brought us In Answer to this VV. P. saith And indeed this we deny and boldly affirm it in the Name of the Lord to be the Doctrine of Devils and an Arm of the Sea of Corruption which does now delude the whole VVorld If Men may be Justified while Impure then God quits the Guilty Death came by actual Sin not imputative in his Sense therefore Justification unto Life comes by Actual Righteousness not Imputative But in the Apology it appears That VV. P. does in this Page of 148. bring a Quotation out of T. Jenner's Book p. 155 156 157 viz. That we deny Justification by the Righteousness which Christ hath fulfilled in his own Person for us wholly without us and therefore deny the Lord that bought us TO this VV. P. subjoyns And indeed this we deny and boldly affirm it in the Name of the Lord to be the Doctrine of Devils and an Arm of the Sea of Corruption which does now deluge the wbole VVorld And then goes on I shall not so much insist upon this as I have not upon the other four particulars they having been Irrefutable Considered and Answered by my Friend and Partner in this Discourse in the first Part of this Apology Only this I shall observe and add First No Man can be Justified without Faith says Jenner No Man hath Faith without Works any more than a Body can Live without a Spirit saith James viz. the Apostle Therefore the VVorks of Righteousness by the Spirit of Christ Jesus are necessary to Justification Secondly If Men may be Justified whilst impure then God quits the Guilty contrary to the Scripture which cannot be Thirdly Death came by Actual Sin not Imputative in his Sense therefore Justification unto Life
