Fathers concerning the Flesh Rom. 9.5 John 1.14 The Word was made Flesh Verbum says Learned Jeans aut est prolativum aut substantiale the Word is either Enunciative or Substantial It is the Word in the latter not in the former sence that is made Flesh Joh. 1.1 In the beginning was the Word and the Word was God Rev. 19.13 His name is called the Word of God Rom. 1.3 Concerning Jesus Christ our Lord which was made of the seed of David according to the Flesh The Holy Ghost by a supernatural and miraculous Operation framed his Flesh in the Womb of the Virgin Mary without the seed of Man Luke 1.31 32 35. The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God Gal. 4.4 When the fulness of the time was come God sent forth his Son made of a Woman Heb. 8.2 and 9.11 and 10.5 A Body thou hast prepared for me 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 it signifies the Creation of it and the Sanctification of it That which was made of a Woman must be a created Being Such is the humane Nature of Christ Therefore Phil. 2.7 8. He took upon him the form of a Servant and was made in the likeness of Men and being found in fashion as a Man he humbled himself and became obedient unto Death even the Death of the Cross An increated Being is impassible or incapable of suffering the humane Nature of Christ is capable of suffering and did actually suffer death therefore it 's no increated Being and why should any thing in Man exalt itself to move in a Sphere or Orb above the humane Nature of Christ It is taken into the Vnity of the second Person of the Holy Trinity and that is an Honour conferr'd upon no other Creature By vertue of this Hypostatical or Personal Union He that is God-Man is the first born of every Creature Col. 1.15 which is not so to be understood as if he had been created before all other Creatures but that the Rights and Privileges of Primogeniture did belong to him The First-born by the Law was advanced to a degree of super-eminent dignity above his Brethren he had Power and Authority over them he was Prince of the Family Psalm 89.27 see Ephes 1.21 22 23. Heb. 2.7 8. Thou crownedst him with glory and honour and didst set him over the work of thy hands thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet When once the humane Nature was assumed into the Unity of the second Person that Vnion remained firm and indissoluble when Death made a separation between his Soul and Body for a time the Union between the divine Nature and the humane continued Luke 23.43 Though the humane Nature as such is not Adorable nor to be adored yet he that is God-Man is the Object of Adoration Psalm 22.27 28 29 30. Isa 45.23 Rom. 14.10 11. Psal 45.11 Rev. 5.13 Psalm 2.10 11 12. Rom. 11.33 1 Pet. 2.6 Psalm 72.5 11. Mal. 1.11 The Humane Nature of Christ is the Organ and Instrument by and thorough which is conveighed all the Grace that Men have Ephes 4.16 Col. 1.19 Joh. 1.16 Eph. 1.23 Col. 2.19 2 If that Grace which was and is in the humane Nature of Christ be no increated Being Grace in Believers is not so The former is true therefore the latter If those Supernatural Divine Qualities wherewith the humane Nature of Christ was endowed did not commence or begin to exist till the humane Nature itself did begin to exist they were no increated but created Excellencies The former is true Therefore Isa 11.1 2 3. There shall come forth a Rod out of the Stem of Jâ—sse and a Branch shall grow out of his Roots and the Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him the Spirit of Wisdom and Vnderstanding the Spirit of Counsel and Might As was the Rod that was to come forth out of the Stem of Jesse and the Branch that was to grow out of his Roots so was the Spirit of the Lord that was to rest upon him But so it was that the Rod that was to come forth out of the Stem of Jesse Was the Messiah considered according to his humane Nature a created Being Therefore so was also the Spirit that was to rest upon him a created Spirit That which is capable of growing must needs be a created Being such was Habitual Grace Inherent in the humane Nature of Christ Therefore Luke 2.40 46 52. he increased in Wisdom and Stature What Grace was suitable to the State of Childhood that he had to the full and afterwards what Grace was suitable to a more Adult State that also he had in such perfection as the humane nature was capable of Zech. 3.9 Behold the Stone that I have laid before Joshua upon one Stone shall be seven Eyes Behold I will engrave the graving thereof saith the Lord of Hosts The Stone is Jess Christ the chief corner Stone By Eyes is meant Knowledge Wisdom and Providence seven denotes Perfection and Sufficiency By engraving the graving thereof is signified the Beautifying and as it were polishing the humane Nature of Christ with all Gifts and Graces needful for a due discharge of the Work and Office he was called unto probably the Prophet alludes to the costly and curious Workmanship of the Stones of the Temple which did in some weak manner set forth the excellency of Christ's Gifts and Graces Col. 1.19 It pleased the Father that in him all fulness should dwell Here is says Jeans an Adjunct Grace set forth to us by its Extent and Excellency expressed in two several gradations a Fulness an Al fulness of Grace its subject in him i. e. in Christ as Man The Inhesion of this Adjunct in this Subject dwelleth to denote that it was in him after a permanent and fixed manner The cause of all this fulness dwelling in him the Decree of the Father Christ owed it not to his own or others merits but solely to the free purpose and pleasure of Heaven In this Fulness of Grace that dwells in Christ there is an All sufficiency and an Indeficiency It is sufficient for himself and for others for All his at all times and in all States and Conditions It will never fail It is a bottomless Ocean that can never be exhausted or drawn dry by thousands of Millions of Sinners or Saints in him are unemptible Treasures and an over-flowing redundancy of Spirit and Grace Orth. Er. p. 48. Norton confirms what we have said created Habitual Grace which Christ received out of measure John 3.34 was in him in its full Latitude in four respects In respect of its Subject here it is to be found in its proper Subject as Light in the Sun Grace is not only in Christ as in its proper but as in its superexceeding Subject In respect of its Nature there is in Christ all kind of
come Rev. 1.8 With whom is no variableness nor shadow of turning Jam. 1.17 Whatever Man is or is in Man he and it might never have been and considered in its own Nature and Essence it is still capable of Annihilation If it be Actually perpetuated and made Eternal à parte post it is indebted to the Being of Beings for this 1 Cor. 15.10 By the Grace of God I am what I am The Heterodoxy of some expressions of our Author put me upon making this a distinct Preliminary the Essence of God is incommunicable to Creatures p. 27. Though this measure to wit in every Man be not the fulness or the whole entire Essence yet it is of God in a measure of his own Spirit which is not distinct therefrom but it is one with it 1 John 5.7 and therein communicable to Men. The words of 1 Joh. 5.7 are There are three that bear record in Heaven the Father the Word and the Holy Ghost and these three are one that is God Father Son and Spirit are essentially one Therefore the Eternal Spirit the third Person of the Trinity and that which is in every Man are not distinct but essentially one There 's Divinity for you 5. Preliminary It is a received Principle both in Divinity and Philosophy omne quod recipitur recipitur ad modum recipientis when one thing is said to be in another every such inexistence is to be understood that it 's according to the receptivity of the Receiver When God Christ and the Spirit are said to be in Man it is in a suitableness to the Essential Constitution of Man as a Rational Being having Understanding Will and Affections Christ and his Spirit are in Believers to exert and put forth gracious Acts and Operations upon them as their respective exigencies do require to humble them when they want humbling to give a check to their corruptions and mortifie them when there is occasion to recover them out of the snare of the evil one when entangled therein to enlighten and enliven quicken and comfort them to corroborate and strengthen them in and under all their Weaknesses Infirmities Troubles Trials and Temptations I know there are some magni nominis and whom I do really Reverence who have said much for a personal Inhabitation of the Spirit in Believers but I humbly take leave to dissent from them in this Those Texts of Scripture that speak of the Spirits being or dwelling in Believers are not to be understood of an Hypostatical or Personal Union between the Spirit and them it is purely Mystical and Spiritual What Learned Norton Orth. Evang p. 289. 290. says of the Union between Christ and Believers both negatively and positively the same I may say of the Union between the Spirit and them Negatively it is not Essential such as is the Union of the three Persons in one Essence in God nor Personal such as is the Union of the Divine and Humane Nature in one and that an Increated Person in Christ Not natural whether Essential as is the Union of the Form with the matter or by local contract that is natural touching one of another as Water is united to the Vessel or by mixture as Water is united to Honey or by the coupling together of common and special nature as the Genus is united to the Species or by cohesion as when one part of the Body cohereth with another or by Adhesion as when pitch cleaveth to our hands or by Inhesion as when an Accident inhereth in the Subject it 's not Civil as is the Union of many Persons into one Body politick Positively it 's a Spiritual Union in respect of the verity thereof it 's real not imaginary in respect of the things united it 's substantial in respect of its way and manner it 's supernatural and secret in respect of the nearness of it it 's close and intimate Some of the reasons of my dissent from those that Assert a personal Inhabitation are these If there be a personal Inhabitation of the Spirit in Believers there is also a personal Inhabitation of the Father and of the Son in them 1 Joh. 4.15 16. Gal. 2.20 John 17.23 The latter is absurd therefore also the former If the Person of the Spirit be in the Person of every Individual Believer then every Individual Believer is two Persons The latter is absurd therefore the former If the Union between the Spirit and Believers be personal then there are more Hypostatical Unions than that of the Divine and Humane Nature in Christ The Scripture knows no more 1 Tim. 3.16 Joh. 1.14 therefore there are no more Where the Person of the Spirit is there is the Father Son and Spirit for the Essence of God is inseparable from either of the Persons The Essence of Father Son and Spirit is not in Believers therefore not the Person of the Spirit If the Personal property of the Spirit which is Procession from the Father and the Son be inseparable from the Person of the Spirit then the Person of the Spirit is not in Believers The former is true therefore the latter The reason of the connexion of the Major is this The personality of the Spirit was from Eternity is at this day what it always was and will be to all Eternity what it hath ever been The Spirit did does and will invariably proceed from the Father and the Son Where the Person of the Spirit is there must be the Person of the Father and of the Son Believers were not from Eternity and now they have an actual Existence the Person of the Father nor the Person of the Son not being in them from whom the Spirit does proceed the consequence to me is clear that the Person of the Spirit is not in them The Spirit is no otherwise in Believers now than before the Incarnation of Christ I have not heard of any that plead for a Personal Inhabitation of the Spirit in Old Testament-Believers and there is no reason appears to me why this Privilege should be peculiarly appropriated to us more than to the other 'T is true that which is called The Promise of the Father Act. 1.4 and the Promise of the Spirit Joh. 16.7 8. was not to have its Accomplishment till after the Ascension of Christ but that is to be understood of the pouring out of the Spirit in a larger measure and on a far greater number than before Joel 2.28 Act. 2.17 If the Person of the Spirit is in Believers now in the Days of the Messiah either he is so in all or only in some If in all hath he been so in all Ages from the Incarnation or Ascension of Christ till now or only in some Ages Does he enter into them when first the Work of Regeneration is begun in them or afterwards Where he once comes does he never after recede If in all and at all times how comes it that he hath manifested his personal Presence to so few all this while
Men and Means is no Increated but a Created Being Such is Grace in Believers Therefore Whereby nature is so far renewed in them in respect of Qualities that all old things are done away and This is added to shew that where Grace is wrought the Substance of Soul and Body remains what it was before the Alteration is only in respect of Qualities The Mind that was before dark and ignorant is now enlightned 2 Cor. 4.6 1 Thess 5.4 5 8. The Will that was stubborn obstinate and averse from that which is Good is now made freely to Will that which is represented to it as good Psal 110.3 The Affections that were carnal and wholly set upon things below are now set upon things which are above where Christ sitteth on the Right Hand of God Col. 3 1. Ephes 2.4 5. Phil. 3 20. 2 Cor. 5.17 If any Man be in Christ he is a new Creature old things are past away behold all things are become new Here is a Periphrasis or Description of one that is a Christian indeed that hath true Grace in Three Particulars and the latter is evidential of the former A Christian indeed is one that is in Christ or that hath Union with Christ Union with Christ is evidenced by a new Creation that passes upon the Person united to him and the new Creation is evidenced by the Viversality of the Change that is wrought in them that are new made there is a new Heart and a new Head new Principles new Practices new Thoughts new Words new Affections new Actions new Desires new Delights new Projects new Purposes new Contrivances new Counsels old Companions in Sin cast off and new ones chosen in their places new Aims Ends and Intentions All that are in Christ are thus thoroughly and universally renewed whoever they are that are not thus thoroughly and universally renewed are not yet in Christ this is true saving Grace and whatever falls short of this is called by a wrong name if it is called Grace If they that are in Christ are new Creatures then Grace in Believers is no increated but a created Being The former is true therefore the Latter The connexion of the Major is evident because they that are in Christ and Believers are Synonyma's and they are denominated new Creatures from the great change that is wrought upon 'em when Grace is infused into their Souls by the Spirit of God For Grace and the new Creature are also Synonyma's Gal. 6.15 For in Christ Jesus neither Circumcision availeth any thing nor Vncircumcision but a new Creature as if he should have said you are wholly taken up in Disputations about Circumcision and Uncircumcision all your Conferences all your Studies run out about this but the Truth of Grace lyeth not in these things says Burg. Spirit Refin p. 246. and p. 251. This Phrase a new Creature implieth that the Work of Grace is wrought by the sole power of God it cometh only from him and also that this being thus wrought in us is of a most excellent and glorious Nature Ephes 2.10 We are his Workmanship created in Christ Jesus unto good Works 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 ipsus opus sumus factura They that in all they are and have are the Workmanship of God created in Christ Jesus have nothing in them that is an increated Being such are Believers Therefore Ephes 4.24 And that ye put on the New-Man which after God is created in Righteousness and true Holiness If the New-Man which Believers are to put on is after God created in Righteousness and true Holiness then the Righteousness and true Holiness of Believers is no increated but a created Being The former is true Therefore the Latter Col. 3.10 And have put on the New-Man which is renewed in Knowledge after the Image of him that created him If the New-Man which Believers put on is renewed in Knowledge after the Image of him that created him then Grace in Believers is no increated but a created Being The former is true therefore the latter The New-Man renewed in Knowledge after the Image of God and Grace inherent are Identical they are one and the same thing Isai 43.1 Thus saith the Lord that created thee O Jacob and that formed thee O Israel V. 6.7 I will say to the North give up and to the South keep not back Bring my Sons from far and my Daughters from the ends of the Earth even every one that is called by my name for I have created him for my Glory I have formed him yea I have made him If every Son and Daughter as such is created then there is nothing in them that 's increated the former is true therefore the latter Mal. 2.10 Have we not all one Father hath not one God created us Is 65.17 18. Behold I create new Heavens and a new Earth and the former shall not be remembred nor come into mind but be ye glad and rejoyce for ever in that which I create for behold I create Jerusalem a rejoycing and her People a Joy This say the Engl. Annot. being spiritually understood is applicable to the State of the Church in the times of the Gospel under the Kingdom of Christ in regard of those plentiful endowments of spiritual Graces that therein shall abound and hereunto doth the Apostle apply this Renovation of the Church to be incâ—oated or begun in this World 2 Cor. 5.17 and to be consummated in the next 2 Pet. 3.13 Rev. 21.1 5. an thus also do some of the Jewish Doctors expound it Isa 66 22. As the new Heavens and the new Earth which I will make shall remain befoâ—â— me so shall your seed and your name remain If the Church considered as under the Old Testament and as under the New Testament as Militant and Triumphant be a Divine Creation then Grace in Believers is no increated but a created excellency The former is true therefore the latter Having gone over the parts of the last description of Grace and glanced at some Arguments from thence grounded on express Scripture testimonies I proceed to some other Arguments to prove this Position That Grace in Believers is no increated Excellency If there be some higher Excellencies than any thing that is in Believers during their Pilgrimage here and yet they are no increated but created Excellencies much more must any thing that is in them be so The former is true therefore also the latter It 's the minor of this Syllogism that is to be proved and I prove it thus 1. The Humane Nature of Christ is a greater Excellency than any thing that is in Believers The humane Nature of Christ is no increated Being therefore much less is any thing that is in Believers so They that deny any thing here must be Pagans or Jews not such as profess the Christian Religion 1 Tim. 3.16 Without controversie great is the mystery of Godliness God was manifest in the Flesh He who is over all God blessed for ever came of the

This is not the whole of lapsed Man's Misery that Nature is deeply depraved in him and that he is helpless hopeless irremediless as to any thing that himself or Creatures can do for him but that he hath no due Sense of his Sin or Misery he thinks that it is better with him than it is he does not with a due Seriousness seek unto God for Relief he does not so much as enquire the way to Heaven and eternal Happiness Isa 65.1 I am sought of them that asked not for me I am found of them that sought me not Hâ—s 2.23 Râ—m 9.25 26.

Christ points at his Humane Nature Son of God at his Divine Nature He is God as well as Man and equal with the Father Joh. 19 6 Thou art points at the Unity of his Person the Divine and Humane Nature united in him were but one Person Christ being no proper but an Appellative Noun points at his Office Thou art he who art the Anâ—inted called and qualified with Gifts and Graces for the Work and Office of a Mediator Thou art a King Priest and Prophet and I do accept of thee as such to be my King Priest and Prophet If ever my Heart is subdued to thy self thou must do that for me as my King If ever my Person or Performances have Acceptance with God it must be by that Sacrifice which the great High-Priest once offered for aâ—l If ever I have any saving Knowledge of Supernatural Truths it must be by this Prophet I receive him as my King in this respect that what Laws and Ordinances he hath enjoined me to observe I do freely and readily subject my self thereunto and do come unto himself for Power whereby I may be enabled so to do And I make use of him as my Prophet to teach me what are his Ordinances and what is that Obedience which he expects and requires I receive him as my King and therefore I little value any opposition I may meet with from Men or Devils on the account of my being a Follower of Christ for I expect Protection Safeguard and Defence from him against them and the worst they can do As often as I make Addresses to God it 's only in the name of Christ as my Priest and whatever he hath purchased for me by his death I look to be put in Possession thereof by his Intercession and I make use of him as my Prophet still more and more to instruct me what are the Benefits which redound to me by his Death and Intercession and every thing else that is needful for me to know and believe in order to the eternal Salvation of my Soul and all this by his Word by his Ordinances and by his Spirit accompanying his Word and Ordinances All this and much more is in this short Creed Thou art Christ the Son of the living God Blessed art thou Flesh and Blood hath not revealed it unto thee but my Father which is in Heaven i. e. The Contents of this Creed no Man hath dictated to thee neither are they the Product of what is in thy self These are Principles which the Light of Nature teach not they are originally of a Heavenly Extract they come from above from the Father of Lights and the Father of Spirits thou couldest never have known these things concerning the Natures Person and Offices of Christ thou couldest never have known him to be the Messiah and Saviour of Sinners if thou hadst not been told it from without Object We do not say That the Knowledge of Supernatural Truths is attainable by the Light of Nature but Christ being now come into the World he hath given a Measure of his Spirit to all and if they would but hearken thereunto it would teach them all things Answ Notwithstanding of Christs being come into the World there are none that do actually participate of his Spirit or Spiritual Benefits by him but by the Gospel preach'd to them by such as are called commission'd and authorized thereunto Rom. 10.13 14 15 16 17. Whosoever shall call upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard and how shall they hear without a Preacher and how shall they preach except they be sent So then Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of God God doth not ordinarily Work Faith or any other Grace in them that are adult but by the preaching of the Gospel 2 Cor. 5.19 20. 1 Cor. 1.21 22 23.
