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

his_o form_n and_o nature_n have_v enter_v unto_o his_o eternal_a sabbath_n of_o perfect_a rest_n without_o end_n reason_n let_v i_o but_o hear_v thy_o judgement_n as_o touch_v that_o say_n of_o the_o

unto_o it_o thou_o shall_v love_v thy_o neighbour_n as_o thyself_o on_o these_o two_o commandment_n hang_v all_o the_o law_n and_o the_o prophet_n now_o what_o manner_n of_o love_n be_v this_o with_o which_o if_o we_o love_v the_o lord_n and_o our_o neighbour_n as_o ourselves_o we_o keep_v the_o whole_a law_n but_o for_o my_o part_n i_o know_v not_o the_o man_n that_o can_v love_v his_o

and_o therefore_o from_o the_o lord_n of_o everliving_a faith_n i_o say_v it_o be_v thy_o ignorance_n that_o undervalue_v he_o nay_o it_o be_v unpossible_a that_o there_o shall_v be_v the_o least_o motion_n of_o the_o pure_a desire_n in_o that_o nature_n which_o be_v all_o fullness_n of_o divine_a satisfaction_n in_o itself_o or_o how_o be_v it_o possible_a that_o spirit_n which_o have_v desire_n in_o its_o nature_n shall_v enjoy_v fullness_n of_o content_n in_o its_o self_n therefore_o though_o god_n create_v that_o angelical_a reason_n of_o all_o pure_a desire_n i_o say_v no_o spiritual_a man_n will_v call_v it_o the_o divine_a nature_n of_o god_n because_o there_o can_v be_v no_o kind_n of_o desire_n in_o that_o nature_n of_o the_o immortal_a god_n that_o be_v variety_n of_o all_o glorious_a satisfaction_n in_o itself_o but_o this_o i_o know_v from_o the_o eternal_a light_n of_o life_n that_o the_o creator_n by_o his_o infinite_a wisdom_n and_o power_n from_o a_o word_n speak_v unto_o that_o dust_n aforesaid_a can_v create_v yea_o do_v make_v divers_a live_a creature_n and_o yet_o not_o one_o motion_n of_o those_o create_a being_n be_v inherent_a in_o his_o heavenly_a spirit_n so_o that_o i_o say_v the_o spirit_n of_o the_o elect_a angel_n be_v not_o in_o the_o least_o of_o any_o part_n of_o the_o glorious_a nature_n of_o his_o spirit_n but_o only_o a_o create_v rational_a spirit_n of_o all_o pure_a desire_n so_o that_o i_o affirm_v the_o uncreated_a godhead_n itself_o be_v unto_o the_o create_v be_v of_o angel_n or_o man_n either_o a_o law_n of_o perfect_a faith_n and_o pure_a burn_a love_n in_o they_o towards_o god_n unto_o life_n eternal_a or_o else_o a_o fiery_a law_n of_o unbelieving_a burn_a envy_n in_o they_o against_o god_n elect_a man_n and_o angel_n unto_o eternal_a death_n and_o therefore_o from_o the_o lord_n of_o all_o light_n and_o life_n i_o affirm_v all_o the_o angel_n be_v equal_o create_v under_o one_o law_n the_o which_o mortal_a law_n be_v write_v in_o their_o angelical_a nature_n motion_v in_o they_o that_o all_o obedience_n be_v proper_o due_a unto_o their_o creator_n which_o have_v make_v they_o such_o marvellous_a creature_n reason_n but_o then_o how_o or_o which_o way_n come_v this_o about_o that_o this_o angel_n nature_n be_v pure_a reason_n and_o that_o as_o thou_o say_v in_o a_o more_o great_a measure_n than_o the_o elect_a angel_n now_o if_o their_o stand_n or_o fall_v lie_v in_o none_o of_o they_o how_o come_v it_o then_o this_o angel_n can_v not_o keep_v his_o stand_n as_o well_o as_o the_o rest_n faith_n i_o know_v that_o though_o their_o spirit_n be_v create_v perfect_o pure_a in_o their_o kind_n and_o measure_n yet_o if_o they_o be_v not_o continual_o supply_v with_o inspiration_n from_o that_o divine_a glory_n which_o give_v they_o their_o being_n instead_o of_o continue_v in_o their_o angelical_a brightness_n their_o spirit_n will_v become_v nothing_o else_o
