Can our Souls be Sav'd from Darkness but only By The Light Within As Christ is Within Purifying our Hearts by the Operation of His Holy Spirit so He is the Hope of Glory that is to say His PERSON being the Brightness of the Glory of the Father of Lights is the Supreme or Principal Object of Our Hope since we Believe that in the Full Enjoyment of Him we shall Enjoy to the Utmost of our Capacity the Fulness of All Wisdom Power and Glory But saith Anonymus 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Being of the Masculine Gender hath 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 and not 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 for his Antecedent Answ This is a silly Cavil For 't is Evident that by the Riches of the Glory of this Mystery we are to understand this Mystery that abounds in the Riches of Glory Without Controversie says this same Apostle Great is the Mystery of Godliness God was manifest in the Flesh c. God manifest in the Fesh is CHRIST who as He is In Us Englihtning our Minds with his Truth and Enflaming our Hearts with his Love is the Hope of Glory Pag. 8. J. N. Therefore to the Spirit of God in thine own Heart I do recommend thee as unto that which will give a true discerning and right understanding of the things of God as it is hearkned unto and obeyed Anonymus But I advise thee Joseph and as many of thy Friends as shall read these Lines to Search the Scriptures and not to Trust your own Hearts until you have examin'd them by the Light of Gods Word Answ We must not Trust our own Hearts either before or after Examination we must only Trust the Spirit of God in our own Hearts That Word says he meaning the Holy Scripture if hearkned unto and obeyed will discover to you what the Spirit is which you are under the conduct and influence of Answ The Spirit of God in our Hearts if Hearkned unto and Obey'd will Teach us how to make a Right Use of the Holy Scriptures the Words which the Same Spirit Suggested to the Holy Prophets and Apostles It cannot be properly said that we are to Obey Writings but the Holy GOD by the Dictates of whose Infinitely-Wise Spirit those Writings were compos'd to Reveal the Will of GOD. I am Sure that Joseph Nott will concurr with Me in this Assertion That the Only way to Know as we Ought to Know any Truth Contain'd in the Holy Scriptures is to Comply with the SPIRIT of Truth in our own Hearts Inclining us to a Syncere and Effectual Abhorrence of All KNOWN Sin and to the Performance of All KNOWN Duty both towards God and towards Men.

The Divine Nature of our Redeemer Made the World Answ The Divine Nature as Abstract from the Person of Jesus Christ did not Make the World but the Person who had the Divine Nature from Everlasting and in Time Took on Him the Humane Nature this Ever-Blessed and Glorious Person Made the World Jesus Christ does not Signifie the Human Nature Alone but the Eternal Person with Reference to His Assumption of The Human Nature either Actual or in the Divine Decree In respect of which the Spirit of Truth calls Him the Lamb Slain from the Foundation of the World So that to Say that Jesus Christ did not Make the World is Contrary to the Christian Faith And I do most heartily Congratulate to this Honest-meaning Quaker as they call him J. N. the Zeal he hath shown in Publishing His Detestation and Disproof of it Pag. 14. He was not Actually Jesus 'till After His Incarnation Answ From hence it would follow That None were Sav'd Before His Incarnation or else That they had Another Saviour Pag. 19. Consult thy self and thou shalt see Noll's Porter had more Light than thee I shall make no farther Reflection on this Pamphlet for the present but only this That the Author of it Shall give an Account of His Railing His Heresie and His Blasphemy to Him that is Ready to Judge the Quick and the Dead As for those words in the Title-Page of this Malicious Pamphlet to which Doctor H. More 's Name is Subscrib'd I must give this Testimony to the World in Justice to the People call'd Quakers That Dr. More my most Dear and Honour'd Friend Declar'd to Me so Tender an Affection for Them in the Year 1679 that I doubt not but if He were now Living He would fully Accord with Me in what I Write in their Defence I desire the Learned Reader to peruse Pag. 748. of Tom. II. of His Philosophical Writings where he shall find these words G.

O Foolish Mortals what is it ye Love There 's nought Without you should your Spirit Move That Glorious Spark should Evermore Incline To that Great LIGHT which Ev'ry-where doth Shine II. In Ev'ry Creature that ye See or Hear Ye may Perceive this Boundless LIGHT Appear But 't is most Seen in each Immortal Soul For there this SVN as in its Orb doth roll III. Those empty things which subtil Fools Acquire Do but Enlarge their Souls Tormenting Fire Fame Wealth and Pleasure never can Relieve Those who for Want of Real Good do Grieve IV. O then my Soul Be sure Thou still Despise Whate're does not Extend Beyond the Skies For Thou art Great and nought can ever prove Thy True Delight but Boundless LIGHT and LOVE FINIS
