A33370 A paradisical dialogue betwixt faith and reason disputing the high mysterious secrets of eternity, the like never extant in our revelation. As touching God in eternity, how he became time in flesh, and how he dyed in the grave, and ascended to his glory again. Also what the angels are in form and nature, and how the angel became a devil, and that devil man; and that this world was prepared for the devil, so this the devils kingdom; and what the soul is, with the place of its glory and torment. With a brief narration what a commission is, and how many commissions there are; what the difference of their worships, and how that the law was given to the devil; with a brief discourse on the catechism, the Lords Prayer, and the creeds; as also, a divine prospect to the elect of the Lord. Written by Law. Claxton, the onely true bishop and faithful messenger of Christ Jesus, creator of heaven and earth. Claxton, Laurence, 1615-1667. 1660 (1660) Wing C4581; ESTC R215220 88,691 122

presumption_n for_o i_o know_v it_o be_v the_o curse_n of_o god_n and_o not_o of_o man_n that_o must_v bring_v a_o soul_n under_o condemnation_n faith_n whatever_o thy_o thought_n be_v of_o i_o i_o

the_o prophet_n and_o messenger_n of_o that_o commission_n for_o i_o testify_v unto_o thou_o that_o god_n the_o giver_n of_o commission_n never_o damn_v any_o but_o the_o angelical_a seed_n in_o the_o

these_o three_o be_v of_o one_o and_o the_o self_n same_o substance_n yet_o they_o be_v divide_v so_o not_o one_o but_o real_o three_o distinct_a in_o each_o form_n the_o one_o from_o the_o other_o

so_o can_v disagree_v though_o three_o yet_o let_v thy_o reason_n work_v which_o way_n it_o will_v thou_o can_v not_o make_v of_o these_o three_o one_o ⊙_o in_o which_o single_a face_n or_o person_n that_o entire_a nature_n that_o be_v unity_n in_o trinity_n must_v be_v comprehend_v and_o contain_v in_o one_o single_a person_n alone_o only_o bear_v the_o name_n of_o three_o title_n viz._n father_n in_o the_o creation_n the_o son_n in_o redemption_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o justification_n without_o the_o true_a knowledge_n of_o what_o i_o have_v say_v from_o my_o revelation_n i_o tell_v thou_o thy_o faith_n shall_v perish_v eternal_o reason_n i_o acknowledge_v every_o person_n by_o himself_o to_o be_v god_n and_o lord_n and_o yet_o i_o say_v there_o be_v not_o three_o god_n and_o three_o lord_n as_o thus_o the_o father_n be_v make_v of_o none_o neither_o create_v nor_o beget_v the_o son_n be_v of_o the_o father_n alone_o not_o make_v nor_o create_v but_o beget_v the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v of_o the_o father_n and_o of_o the_o son_n neither_o make_v nor_o create_v nor_o beget_v but_o proceed_v etc._n etc._n and_o in_o this_o trinity_n none_o be_v afore_o nor_o

and_o the_o trinity_n in_o unity_n be_v to_o be_v worship_v he_o therefore_o that_o will_v be_v save_v must_v thus_o think_v of_o the_o trinity_n faith_n o_o senseless_a sot_n as_o be_v thy_o
