s._n book_n so_o that_o the_o bare_a show_v how_o woeful_o he_o have_v perform_v that_o one_o undertake_v will_v have_v be_v a_o sufficient_a confirmation_n and_o defence_n of_o it_o but_o though_o

supreme_a faculty_n the_o scripture_n teach_v that_o man_n in_o his_o best_a estate_n be_v altogether_o vanity_n psal._n 39_o 5._o p._n 5._o when_o as_o david_n speak_v there_o only_o of_o man_n bodily_a frailty_n but_o i_o may_v have_v spare_v this_o as_o be_v but_o a_o peccadillo_n in_o this_o man_n 4._o he_o say_v that_o the_o command_n of_o the_o law_n be_v not_o the_o great_a and_o principal_a argument_n with_o christ_n no_o not_o in_o its_o first_o and_o high_a principle_n to_o do_v or_o continue_v to_o do_v it_o p._n 14._o then_o the_o first_o reason_n of_o our_o saviour_n obedience_n be_v not_o the_o command_n of_o god_n 5._o he_o interpret_v those_o word_n of_o the_o apostle_n of_o moral_a duty_n viz._n they_o speak_v of_o the_o world_n and_o the_o world_n hear_v they_o 1_o john_n 4._o 5._o p._n 19_o 6._o he_o say_v that_o the_o new_a man_n be_v dead_a to_o the_o law_n as_o to_o principle_n of_o nature_n and_o interpret_v that_o of_o the_o apostle_n you_o be_v become_v dead_a to_o the_o law_n of_o the_o moral_a as_o well_o as_o ceremonial_a law_n and_o further_o say_v that_o a_o man_n must_v first_o be_v dead_a to_o your_o principle_n both_o of_o nature_n and_o the_o law_n if_o he_o will_v serve_v in_o a_o new_a spirit_n if_o he_o will_v bring_v forth_o fruit_n unto_o god_n p._n 22_o the_o only_a sense_n of_o which_o saying_n whatever_o he_o mean_v by_o they_o be_v this_o that_o a_o man_n must_v cease_v to_o be_v a_o man_n and_o turn_v beast_n nay_o and_o devil_n too_o before_o he_o can_v bring_v forth_o fruit_n unto_o god_n 7._o he_o

be_v natural_a even_o the_o sinless_a state_n of_o a_o natural_a man_n p._n 24_o thus_o he_o make_v adam_n a_o mere_a brute_n as_o to_o holiness_n but_o in_o this_o he_o contradict_v himself_o elsewhere_o as_o have_v be_v show_v 9_o he_o say_v that_o even_o the_o inward_a holiness_n that_o be_v in_o saint_n it_o be_v none_o other_o than_o that_o which_o dwell_v in_o the_o person_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n in_o heaven_n p._n 27_o then_o there_o be_v no_o grace_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n wrought_v in_o we_o than_o our_o holiness_n be_v perfect_a and_o infinite_a and_o then_o according_a to_o his_o rate_n of_o argue_v with_o mr._n f._n p._n 66._o christ_n righteousness_n be_v by_o faith_n in_o himself_o and_o a_o imputative_a righteousness_n 10._o he_o say_v that_o christ_n die_v to_o put_v we_o into_o a_o personal_a possession_n of_o pardon_n before_o we_o know_v it_o p._n 33_o he_o that_o have_v read_v he_o or_o this_o pamphlet_n know_v his_o meaning_n in_o this_o say_n viz._n that_o christ_n die_v to_o put_v man_n into_o a_o personal_a possession_n of_o pardon_n while_o they_o continue_v in_o their_o wickedness_n 11._o he_o say_v that_o for_o christ_n to_o come_v to_o establish_v this_o righteousness_n viz._n the_o righteousness_n which_o we_o have_v lose_v be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v be_v send_v from_o heaven_n to_o overthrow_v and_o abrogate_v the_o eternal_a purpose_n of_o grace_n which_o the_o father_n have_v purpose_v shall_v be_v manifest_v to_o the_o world_n by_o christ._n p._n 37._o let_v the_o reader_n match_v i_o this_o say_v for_o the_o horrid_a wickedness_n of_o it_o out_o of_o any_o other_o book_n than_o this_o man_n if_o he_o can_v 12._o the_o wrath_n that_o the_o law_n be_v say_v to_o work_v rom._n 4._o 15._o he_o interpret_v to_o be_v murmur_n and_o anger_n against_o the_o lord_n p._n 39_o whenas_o the_o next_o word_n show_v that_o the_o meaning_n be_v it_o render_v man_n for_o their_o disobedience_n to_o it_o liable_a to_o the_o judgement_n of_o god_n 13._o he_o say_v that_o that_o repentance_n which_o have_v its_o rise_n original_o from_o the_o dictate_v of_o our_o own_o nature_n be_v call_v the_o sorrow_n of_o the_o world_n and_o must_v be_v again_o repent_v of_o p._n 40._o so_o that_o to_o be_v sorry_a for_o my_o sin_n because_o my_o reason_n tell_v i_o that_o they_o be_v a_o unworthy_a requital_n of_o god_n goodness_n to_o i_o be_v the_o worldly_a sorrow_n condemn_v by_o the_o apostle_n and_o must_v be_v again_o repent_v of_o 14._o he_o say_v that_o he_o that_o look_v to_o or_o seek_v after_o that_o holiness_n we_o have_v lose_v be_v as_o sure_a to_o be_v damn_v and_o go_v to_o hell_n as_o he_o that_o transgress_v the_o law_n because_o that_o be_v not_o the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n the_o righteousness_n of_o faith_n nor_o that_o to_o which_o the_o promise_n be_v make_v p._n 42._o so_o that_o according_a to_o this_o devilish_a doctrine_n to_o endeavour_v to_o bring_v our_o heart_n to_o the_o love_n of_o god_n above_o all_o and_o to_o the_o hatred_n and_o abhorrence_n of_o all_o sin_n be_v as_o ready_a or_o sure_o a_o way_n

that_o fullness_n which_o it_o please_v the_o father_n shall_v dwell_v in_o we_o for_o the_o holiness_n and_o righteousness_n even_o the_o inward_a righteousness_n that_o be_v in_o the_o saint_n it_o be_v none_o other_o than_o that_o which_o dwell_v in_o the_o person_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n in_o heaven_n now_o reader_n thou_o understand_v what_o a_o rant_a antinomian_n this_o man_n be_v or_o rather_o if_o he_o know_v what_o he_o say_v a_o down_o right_o ranter_n for_o this_o most_o abominable_a assertion_n he_o bring_v john_n 1._o 16._o of_o his_o fullness_n we_o all_o receive_v and_o

observe_v here_o that_o this_o monstrous_a piece_n of_o impudence_n say_v that_o the_o saint_n on_o earth_n be_v as_o perfect_o holy_a as_o christ_n himself_o in_o assert_v that_o their_o holiness_n and_o righteousness_n be_v none_o other_o than_o that_o which_o dwell_v in_o the_o person_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n in_o heaven_n now_o i_o will_v cry_v blasphemy_n too_o and_o that_o upon_o most_o just_a ground_n there_o be_v also_o another_o place_n he_o abuse_v to_o favour_v this_o blasphemy_n viz._n 1_o john_n 2._o 8._o but_o let_v the_o reader_n see_v how_o that_o make_v for_o he_o i_o sedate_o and_o without_o the_o least_o inclination_n to_o passion_n profess_v that_o i_o can_v remember_v i_o ever_o know_v such_o a_o shameless_a abuser_n and_o perverter_n of_o the_o holy_a

where_o by_o fullness_n of_o god_n we_o must_v understand_v that_o height_n of_o grace_n to_o which_o god_n design_v to_o raise_v christian_n as_o the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n signify_v as_o i_o show_v the_o righteousness_n that_o be_v the_o effect_n of_o god_n grace_n and_o spirit_n but_o according_a to_o this_o i._o b's_n wild_a rate_n of_o interpret_n the_o sense_n of_o the_o word_n will_v be_v that_o you_o may_v be_v goddify_v or_o be_v make_v god_n himself_o which_o be_v a_o blasphemy_n that_o any_o one_o but_o a_o very_a devil_n will_v tremble_v at_o the_o thought_n of_o and_o i_o pray_v reader_n how_o much_o short_a of_o this_o do_v those_o strange_a word_n of_o i._o b's_n come_v which_o i_o find_v in_o p._n 63._o in_o heaven_n there_o shall_v not_o be_v in_o we_o a_o

that_o he_o prove_v this_o by_o rom._n 8._o 17._o heir_n of_o god_n and_o joint_a heir_n with_o christ._n as_o if_o to_o be_v a_o heir_n of_o god_n be_v to_o be_v a_o inheritor_n of_o his_o nature_n or_o godhead_n when_o to_o be_v the_o heir_n of_o a_o man_n no_o fool_n will_v understand_v to_o be_v the_o heir_n of_o his_o nature_n but_o of_o all_o or_o part_n of_o his_o estate_n and_o good_n if_o he_o shall_v think_v that_o those_o word_n of_o s._n peter_n make_v for_o this_o horrid_a assertion_n namely_o that_o you_o may_v be_v partaker_n of_o the_o divine_a nature_n let_v he_o know_v that_o the_o divine_a nature_n aught_o to_o be_v render_v a_o divine_a that_o be_v a_o godlike_a nature_n and_o our_o translator_n mean_v no_o more_o though_o little_o think_v how_o wretch_n will_v

as_o certain_o to_o conclude_v he_o as_o bad_a as_o his_o last_o cite_v word_n make_v he_o but_o if_o they_o do_v necessary_o speak_v he_o guilty_a of_o the_o high_a impiety_n they_o demonstrate_v

holiness_n that_o be_v in_o the_o saint_n he_o possible_o may_v think_v that_o eph._n 1._o 17._o be_v a_o friend_n to_o it_o where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o christ_n may_v dwell_v in_o your_o heart_n
