A79837	A full discovery and confutation of the wicked and damnable doctrines of the Quakers. As also, a plain vindication and confirmation of sundry fundamental points of the Christian religion, denyed or corrupted by the enemies of the truth in these times. Published for the benefit of such weak Christians, who are not so able to discover and oppugne the dangerous doctrines of subtil seducers when coloured over with fair words and pretences, and so are more apt to be taken in their snares. Whereunto is annexed an excellent discourse proving that singing of Psalmes is not only lawful, but an ordinance of God. / By Jonathan Clapham, a servant of Christ in the work and labour of the Gospel at Wramplingham in Norff.	Clapham, Jonathan.	1656 (1656)	Wing C4407; Thomason E498_7; ESTC R206047	81,821	100

he_o do_v not_o now_o destroy_v what_o before_o he_o build_v it_o be_v the_o great_a thing_n the_o apostle_n be_v to_o testify_v and_o witness_v to_o the_o world_n act_v 1.22_o they_o be_v to_o be_v

inquire_v after_o another_o interpretation_n of_o that_o scripture_n and_o it_o will_v clear_o appear_v to_o be_v this_o the_o false_a apostle_n have_v vilify_v the_o apostle_n ministry_n that_o they_o may_v draw_v away_o the_o heart_n of_o people_n from_o he_o according_a to_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o quaker_n in_o these_o day_n for_o this_o be_v a_o old_a trick_n of_o satan_n and_o one_o plea_n they_o have_v against_o he_o be_v this_o he_o have_v not_o converse_v with_o christ_n upon_o earth_n as_o have_v the_o other_o apostle_n and_o therefore_o he_o be_v not_o so_o much_o to_o be_v account_v off_o the_o apostle_n hint_n we_o be_v not_o to_o look_v on_o christ_n under_o such_o outward_a relation_n as_o if_o there_o be_v so_o much_o benefit_n by_o be_v relate_v to_o christ_n in_o the_o flesh_n or_o by_o be_v in_o his_o bodily_a presence_n but_o we_o be_v to_o consider_v he_o as_o have_v complete_v the_o work_n of_o our_o redemption_n have_v overcome_v death_n be_v raise_v up_o in_o glory_n and_o ascend_v into_o heaven_n and_o thus_o we_o shall_v know_v he_o for_o the_o future_a this_o be_v the_o spring_n of_o a_o christian_n comfort_n thus_o he_o speak_v not_o against_o christ_n be_v in_o the_o flesh_n still_o which_o other_o scripture_n clear_o witness_v but_o against_o look_v upon_o he_o under_o these_o carnal_a relation_n they_o stand_v in_o to_o he_o while_o he_o be_v upon_o earth_n this_o will_v appear_v more_o full_o to_o be_v the_o apostle_n mind_n by_o consider_v the_o various_a acceptation_n of_o the_o word_n flesh_n in_o scripture_n which_o to_o avoid_v tediousness_n i_o omit_v here_o intend_v to_o speak_v of_o it_o in_o sect._n 6._o where_o in_o prove_v the_o resurrection_n of_o our_o dead_a body_n i_o shall_v further_o prove_v the_o truth_n of_o christ_n resurrection_n and_o that_o still_o he_o be_v real_o and_o true_o in_o our_o nature_n in_o heaven_n even_o in_o the_o same_o particular_a body_n he_o have_v upon_o earth_n though_o glorify_v and_o indeed_o if_o this_o be_v not_o so_o the_o apostle_n be_v false_a witness_n our_o faith_n be_v in_o vain_a we_o be_v yet_o in_o our_o sin_n and_o they_o who_o be_v fall_v asleep_a in_o christ_n be_v perish_v 1_o cor._n 15.15_o etc._n etc._n thus_o for_o the_o clear_n of_o this_o second_o charge_n that_o the_o quaker_n deny_v jesus_n christ_n come_v in_o the_o flesh_n overthrow_v his_o incarnation_n death_n resurrection_n ascension_n intercession_n and_o come_n to_o judgement_n and_o thereby_o pull_v down_o the_o main_a pillar_n of_o christianity_n and_o overthrow_v the_o faith_n
