coming to Christ no Sin not Vnbelief Some say Men must receive Christ by a hand of Faith but I say They may receive Christ without a hand passively I disown the word Hand or Instrument in Justification There is a passive receiving of Christ against a man's will as we pour Physick down the Throat of a Patient p. 98. I said also p. 102 When Christ is said to bind up the broken in Spirit it is of those that are undone not of those that are sensible of being so as a man may be broken in his Estate or Credit tho' not sensible of it Mr. A. Was there ever such a sensless Perverter of Scripture I doubt thy Head was early broken if thy Heart was never so Is this to be broken or wounded in Spirit p. 106. Dr. C. Of general tenders read much In 127 I there make sport with mens Complaints I say O what a noise is here I must have a broken Heart mortification c. And p. 114 I bewail it that the Servants of God should lose the Name of Libertines And p. 170 I said God s●es no Sins in his own never punisheth for them and p. 198 God is not such a Changling and p. 202 If thou be a common Swearer or Blasphemer come if there be no alteration in thee come if thou be as sinful as thy skin can hold come 16 Ezek. I cite again and again and again c. v. 6 When cast in the open field when in thy blood I said to thee live This was a time of love I made a covenant with thee and thou becamest mine Mr. L. For that Scripture can you deny that the primary intention of it is to shew the state of the Jewish Nation Ver. 3 Thy Father was a Amorite thy Mother a Hittite Abraham and Sarah could not be such strictly but like as 1 Isa 10 Hear you Rulers of Sodom give ear ye People of Gomorrah Jerusalem was so call'd because like them in manners and life 13 Ver. of the 16. of Ezek. After they multiplied and God put Ornaments on them it is said they prosper'd into a Kingdom Read the 15 Verse he chargeth these with playing the Harlot committing Fornication 17. That they made Images with these Jewels not Graces sure 21 Thou hast made my Children pass through the fire 20. Thou remembredst not the days of thy youth when thou wast polluted in thy blood 29 Wo unto thee saith the Lord God they committed Fornication with the Egyptians and in the Land of Canaan 26 29 O Harlot hear the word of the Lord. Is there Sir any falling from Grace 60 61 Shews God would bring them again out of Babylon and humble them Yet all this is well accommodated by Divines spiritually but Parabola non sunt Argumentativa nisi ratione scopi is a common known Rule Dr. C. What say you to the 15th of John Mr. L. 15 John 4. If you abide in me the Branch abides in the Vine 5th 6th 7th Verses speak of Abiding not Vniting Dr. C. What say you to Isaiah I am found of them that sought me not Isaiah 65 1 are plain words are they not Mr. L. That makes nothing to your purpose I said Behold me behold me to a People not call'd by my Name they had no Helps to seek But I pray what specifick difference is there between the Eccho or Belief of a man who believes his Sins laid on Christ that proves vile still and his that doth not so What is the matter that in all your wordy Book you do not according to all men distinguish as becomes a Scholar or a Man Dr. C. You know the reason well enough without my telling would you have me like a young Conjurer to raise a Spirit I could not alay A Dr. in Oxford once distinguish'd in the Hall Aliquo modo est aliquo modo non I do like a Moderator I knew in that University who when the Question was An Omne Ens potefl apprehendi carried in the affirmative one brought a shrewd Argument against it he answer'd Nos disputamus non de iis Entibus quae non possunt apprehendi sed quae possunt apprehendi I often expound 11 Heb. 1 Faith is the evidence of things not seen that is that they were pardon'd and justified before they believed in the heighth of all their wickedness Alas they were nothing that expounded on this Text till I gave the true sense I gave the World the first light of those words see whether you can find Mr. Pool that great man to think of it I have also said in about fourteen or fifteen Sermons on this Text On him hath God laid the Iniquity of us all p. 160 177 170 It was the Iniquity it self laid on Christ so that it cannot be found in the Conscience of the elect to sting there they are not our Sins but Christ's actually so I over and over observe it is not God doth lay or will lay but hath laid in the Preterperfect Tense and therefore God laid them on him from Eternity Mr. L. You might as well say Christ was actually crucified from Eternity it is said in the same Chapter He was a man of sorrows not is or shall be He was lead as a Lamb before the Shearers not is or shall be He was numbred amoug Transgressors not is or shall be Dr. C. I tell them p. 18 They should not make God so childish as some do p. 195 I said If God were not separated from Christ Christ told an untruth when he said my God my God why hast thou forsaken me No Sin can be charged on that man to whom the Lord gives a heart to belieue his Iniquities are laid on Christ P. 196 That it is a lying Spirit that says Sin can waste the Conscience of a Believer I tell them That by their Graces and Prayers they throw Dirt in the Face of God and spit Poyson there even the best Saints and the Wise man saith They are an Abomination to the Lord.
