A86612	The pagan preacher silenced. Or, an answer to a treatise of Mr. John Goodwin, entituled, the pagans debt & dowry. Wherein is discovered the weaknesse of his arguments, and that it doth not yet appear by scripture, reason, or the testimony of the best of his own side, that the heathen who never heard of the letter of the Gospel, are either obliged to, or enabled for the believing in Christ; and that they are either engaged to matrimonial debt, or admitted to a matrimonial dowry. Wherein also is historically discovered, and polemically discussed the doctrin of Universal grace, with the original, growth and fall thereof; as it hath been held forth by the most rigid patrons of it. / By Obadiah Howe, A.M. and pastor of Horne-Castle in Lincolnshire. With a verdict on the case depending between Mr. Goodwin and Mr. Howe, by the learned George Kendal, DD.	Howe, Obadiah, 1615 or 16-1683.; Kendall, George, 1610-1663.	1655 (1655)	Wing H3051; Thomason E851_16; ESTC R207423	163,028	140

anything_o of_o that_o import_n during_o that_o time_n now_o if_o this_o be_v a_o good_a argunent_n which_o mr._n goodwin_n urge_v viz_o that_o adam_n be_v not_o bind_v to_o repent_v because_o there_o be_v no_o law_n give_v to_o bind_v he_o to_o repent_v it_o be_v ground_v upon_o this_o truth_n that_o there_o be_v no_o obligation_n to_o any_o thing_n without_o a_o command_n now_o indeed_o in_o the_o follow_a part_n of_o his_o treatise_n he_o address_v himself_o very_o handsome_o to_o prove_v that_o all_o be_v bind_v to_o believe_v but_o it_o be_v not_o without_o much_o provocation_n from_o his_o adversary_n and_o it_o be_v not_o till_o much_o labour_n have_v be_v spend_v as_o if_o he_o intend_v to_o let_v the_o world_n see_v that_o it_o be_v one_o of_o the_o last_o thing_n he_o intend_v to_o be_v pertinent_a it_o be_v urge_v against_o he_o by_o a_o unknown_a adversary_n thus_o all_o man_n be_v not_o bind_v to_o believe_v without_o the_o letter_n of_o the_o gospel_n by_o which_o man_n be_v oblige_v and_o bind_v to_o believe_v which_o argument_n be_v firm_a and_o good_a and_o make_v he_o cast_v about_o for_o a_o universal_a obligation_n to_o believe_v without_o the_o letter_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o he_o affirm_v that_o all_o man_n be_v bind_v to_o believe_v on_o christ_n by_o a_o double_a law_n first_o by_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n second_o by_o the_o positive_a law_n of_o god_n i_o shall_v examine_v both_o in_o their_o order_n first_o to_o examine_v whether_o all_o man_n by_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n be_v bind_v to_o believe_v on_o christ_n he_o lay_v down_o his_o method_n thus_o nature_n require_v of_o man_n 1_o that_o they_o seek_v after_o god_n that_o be_v the_o knowledge_n of_o his_o attribute_n and_o perfection_n of_o his_o be_v 2_o after_o the_o best_a and_o rich_a discovery_n of_o his_o will_n where_o they_o be_v to_o be_v find_v 3_o to_o submit_v to_o every_o part_n of_o that_o will_n and_o pleasure_n be_v make_v know_v and_o then_o as_o the_o accomplishment_n of_o his_o invention_n he_o say_v that_o the_o gospel_n be_v the_o rich_a discovery_n of_o his_o will_n and_o they_o be_v bind_v to_o subject_n themselves_o unto_o it_o but_o though_o i_o grant_v all_o these_o thing_n yet_o thus_o i_o answer_v there_o be_v no_o obligation_n to_o believe_v on_o christ_n yet_o extant_a except_o the_o l●tter_n of_o the_o gospel_n come_v and_o then_o the_o true_a state_n of_o the_o question_n be_v destroy_v true_a it_o be_v the_o gospel_n be_v the_o rich_a treasure_n of_o his_o mind_n and_o will_n but_o how_o be_v this_o make_v know_v to_o they_o that_o never_o come_v to_o enjoy_v the_o letter_n of_o the_o gospel_n i_o further_o argue_v thus_o 1_o adam_n in_o innocence_n be_v bind_v to_o do_v all_o these_o to_o seek_v and_o enq●uire_v after_o god_n and_o the_o rich_a treasure_n of_o his_o will_n etc._n etc._n but_o i_o hope_v he_o will_v not_o say_v that_o adam_n be_v bind_v to_o believe_v in_o innocency_n if_o he_o do_v it_o be_v not_o without_o the_o positive_a dissent_n of_o the_o best_a of_o his_o side_n 2_o it_o be_v strange_a to_o see_v the_o way_n of_o these_o man_n to_o assume_v that_o to_o themselves_o as_o orthodox_n what_o they_o explode_v in_o other_o as_o vain_a and_o impertinent_a when_o molin_n urge_v thus_o upon_o the_o question_n whether_o adam_n have_v power_n to_o believe_v the_o law_n command_v we_o to_o assent_v to_o and_o obey_v what_o ever_o the_o lord_n say_v or_o command_v 7._o corvin_n in_o in_o molin_n cap._n 11._o §_o 7._o than_o it_o must_v follow_v that_o if_o christ_n be_v propound_v and_o preach_v by_o the_o same_o law_n he_o shall_v be_v account_v to_o stand_v bind_v to_o believe_v the_o gospel_n this_o reason_n be_v reject_v by_o corvinus_n as_o vain_a and_o impertinent_a but_o be_v not_o mr._n goodwin_n the_o very_a same_o 3_o he_o say_v nature_n bind_v to_o obey_v the_o discovery_n of_o his_o will_n be_v know_v true_a but_o then_o be_v unknown_a no_o obligation_n to_o believe_v than_o it_o must_v be_v inquire_v into_o how_o man_n that_o never_o he_o the_o letter_n of_o the_o gospel_n can_v come_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o mind_n of_o god_n concern_v faith_n in_o christ_n still_o here_o be_v little_a proof_n but_o mere_a trifle_a now_o such_o a_o assertion_n as_o this_o his_o adversary_n lay_v upon_o he_o that_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n can_v discover_v that_o ever_o there_o be_v such_o a_o man_n or_o mediator_n as_o christ_n jesus_n but_o he_o be_v please_v to_o say_v that_o it_o be_v not_o pertinent_a to_o our_o purpose_n but_o i_o think_v very_o much_o for_o let_v this_o be_v grant_v than_o i_o urge_v though_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n bound_v we_o to_o do_v all_o the_o three_o forename_a particular_n yet_o it_o do_v not_o oblige_v we_o to_o believe_v in_o christ_n because_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n can_v discover_v christ_n and_o if_o not_o how_o can_v it_o oblige_v man_n to_o believe_v on_o christ_n i_o see_v not_o because_o according_a to_o himself_o it_o bind_v man_n to_o obey_v no_o further_o than_o be_v know_v but_o he_o say_v further_a thus_o though_o it_o be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o discover_v christ_n yet_o it_o be_v sufficient_a to_o teach_v they_o that_o it_o be_v their_o duty_n to_o inquire_v after_o the_o best_a discovery_n of_o his_o will_n and_o be_v know_v it_o can_v tell_v they_o it_o be_v their_o duty_n to_o believe_v in_o christ_n how_o he_o have_v lose_v himself_o on_o his_o own_o circle_n true_a it_o may_v teach_v they_o to_o inquire_v but_o how_o to_o believe_v on_o christ_n i_o see_v not_o because_o they_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o obey_v further_o than_o it_o be_v know_v and_o nature_n can_v discover_v christ_n nor_o any_o way_n leave_v for_o know_v he_o otherwise_o for_o the_o question_n suppose_v they_o not_o to_o have_v the_o letter_n of_o the_o gospel_n 2_o he_o be_v much_o mistake_v the_o law_n of_o nature_n upon_o that_o supposition_n that_o faith_n in_o christ_n be_v discover_v can_v not_o be_v say_v to_o be_v the_o dictator_n of_o that_o duty_n but_o the_o positive_a law_n that_o be_v new_o discover_v nature_n command_v general_a obedience_n be_v a_o general_a law_n but_o a_o special_a law_n must_v be_v the_o ground_n of_o a_o special_a obedience_n if_o he_o consult_v with_o corvinus_n he_o will_v grant_v this_o to_o pass_v for_o good_a divinity_n as_o i_o may_v illustrate_v it_o by_o this_o instance_n the_o law_n of_o nature_n bind_v i_o to_o obey_v my_o superior_n and_o so_o we_o all_o this_o be_v a_o general_a law_n but_o as_o a_o ground_n of_o special_a obedience_n there_o be_v require_v a_o law_n positive_a that_o i_o may_v know_v wherein_o to_o obey_v they_o as_o to_o say_v our_o superior_n for_o politic_n end_v forbid_v we_o to_o eat_v flesh_n in_o lent_n ●hall_v he_o hence_o conclude_v that_o it_o be_v a_o dictate_v of_o nature_n not_o to_o eat_v flesh_n in_o lent_n then_o it_o be_v against_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n to_o eat_v flesh_n in_o lent_n but_o who_o can_v understand_v this_o therefore_o we_o must_v necessary_o distinguist_n thus_o nature_n bind_v we_o to_o obey_v but_o their_o positive_a law_n to_o obey_v in_o this_o or_o that_o particularity_n neither_o can_v the_o law_n of_o nature_n ever_o dictate_v to_o any_o man_n that_o he_o be_v bind_v not_o to_o eat_v flesh_n in_o lent_n the_o case_n be_v much_o a_o like_a the_o law_n of_o nature_n bind_v we_o to_o obey_v god_n as_o our_o maker_n but_o the_o law_n positive_a come_v and_o bid_v we_o to_o obey_v he_o in_o believe_v christ_n this_o obligation_n as_o it_o be_v particularise_v come_v from_o the_o positive_a law_n of_o god_n not_o from_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n for_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n can_v never_o dictate_v such_o a_o particularity_n of_o obedience_n as_o to_o believe_v in_o jesus_n christ_n and_o thus_o far_o i_o can_v improve_v the_o smile_n he_o preduce_v in_o pag._n 31_o 32._o but_o how_o far_o further_o it_o tend_v i_o see_v not_o for_o it_o vanish_v into_o smoke_n if_o we_o consider_v that_o the_o legislative_a power_n in_o any_o nation_n or_o kingdom_n do_v not_o confine_v the_o discovery_n of_o their_o law_n to_o the_o metropolis_n but_o as_o for_o those_o law_n by_o which_o man_n daily_a and_o weekly_a transaction_n be_v to_o be_v guide_v they_o take_v such_o course_n that_o they_o shall_v be_v publish_v at_o the_o market-town_n of_o every_o shire_n or_o county_n where_o it_o be_v to_o be_v suppose_v that_o all_o respective_o be_v lead_v by_o their_o occasion_n or_o in_o a_o session_n quarterly_a justice_n of_o the_o peace_n be_v in_o their_o charge_n to_o acquaint_v they_o with_o all_o those_o penal_a statute_n and_o other_o law_n requisite_a to_o
