A32799 An account given to the Parliament by the ministers sent by them to Oxford in which you have the most remarkable passages which have fallen out in the six moneths service there ... particulary ... two conferences in which the ministers ... have suffered by reproaches and falshoods in print and otherwise : the chief points insisted on in those conferences are 1. whether private men may lawfully preach, 2. whether the ministers of the Church of England were antichristian ... 3. and lastly divers of Mr. Erbury's dangerous errours. ... Cheynell, Francis, 1608-1665. 1647 (1647) Wing C3806A; ESTC R28557 41,873 55

earbury_n that_o we_o have_v no_o gospel_n faith_n because_o no_o river_n of_o live_a water_n nor_o gift_n of_o the_o spirit_n flow_v out_o of_o we_o answer_n whatever_o faith_n he_o understand_v by_o that_o yet_o sure_o they_o have_v faith_n and_o love_n enough_o to_o keep_v they_o from_o destroy_v the_o communion_n of_o saint_n it_o be_v add_v by_o master_n earbury_n that_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n allow_v parish_n church_n therefore_o they_o destroy_v the_o communion_n of_o saint_n answer_n absurd_a enough_o yet_o this_o be_v say_v to_o it_o communion_n of_o saint_n be_v either_o real_a mystical_a and_o spiritual_a between_o the_o member_n of_o christ_n body_n mystical_a and_o which_o no_o believer_n can_v be_v a_o enemy_n unto_o let_v he_o be_v in_o a_o

since_o minister_n inflict_v no_o penalty_n at_o all_o answer_v why_o their_o principle_n be_v such_o they_o approve_v of_o punishment_n for_o error_n and_o heresy_n therefore_o they_o destroy_v the_o

the_o communion_n of_o saint_n and_o therefore_o fit_a to_o be_v answer_v by_o the_o magistrate_n than_o a_o minister_n mr._n earbury_n say_v also_o that_o the_o minister_n of_o england_n do_v set_v up_o society_n viz._n presbytery_n which_o do_v destroy_v the_o communion_n of_o saint_n it_o be_v answer_v that_o all_o minister_n do_v not_o set_v up_o presbytery_n and_o second_o they_o that_o do_v do_v not_o destroy_v the_o communion_n of_o saint_n master_n earbury_n say_v also_o that_o they_o do_v allow_v of_o a_o ordinance_n of_o parliament_n for_o the_o punishment_n of_o error_n and_o

it_o after_o master_n earbury_n have_v deny_v the_o qualification_n of_o minister_n because_o striker_n another_o will_v needs_o have_v they_o disable_v because_o covetous_a and_o that_o all_o of_o they_o how_o so_o they_o who_o take_v other_o man_n good_n from_o they_o by_o fraud_n and_o circumvention_n under_o pretence_n of_o give_v they_o something_o for_o it_o which_o be_v worth_a nothing_o be_v covetous_a but_o so_o do_v all_o the_o minister_n of_o england_n by_o receive_v tithe_n ergo_fw-la all_o be_v covetous_a answer_n we_o do_v now_o conceive_v that_o our_o opposite_n have_v it_o in_o design_n to_o lay_v we_o as_o low_o as_o they_o can_v by_o disgraceful_a speech_n and_o reproach_n because_o they_o can_v not_o beat_v we_o down_o by_o strength_n of_o argument_n we_o apprehend_v the_o argument_n or_o rather_o reproach_n that_o the_o minister_n of_o england_n be_v all_o striker_n and_o covetous_a to_o have_v as_o little_a weight_n as_o charity_n in_o they_o after_o this_o we_o proceed_v to_o the_o second_o branch_n of_o the_o argument_n that_o there_o be_v some_o minister_n in_o the_o church_n of_o england_n approve_v of_o according_a to_o the_o mind_n of_o christ_n that_o there_o must_v be_v a_o proof_n and_o approbation_n of_o presbyter_n appear_v 1_o tim._n 3._o 10._o let_v these_o also_o first_o be_v prove_v etc._n etc._n and_o that_o many_o minister_n in_o the_o church_n of_o england_n have_v undergo_v sufficient_a trial_n be_v prove_v thus_o they_o who_o have_v be_v examine_v and_o approve_v by_o those_o who_o be_v minister_n of_o christ_n able_a to_o examine_v and_o approve_v they_o and_o design_v to_o that_o purpose_n be_v approve_v according_a to_o the_o mind_n of_o christ_n but_o some_o minister_n in_o the_o church_n of_o england_n have_v be_v thus_o examine_v and_o approve_v etc._n etc._n ergo_o the_o minor_a be_v deny_v upon_o two_o reason_n first_o that_o they_o who_o examine_v and_o approve_v they_o be_v not_o able_a to_o do_v it_o though_o as_o be_v urge_v they_o have_v understanding_n and_o knowledge_n in_o the_o art_n language_n and_o scripture_n because_o they_o have_v not_o the_o spirit_n this_o be_v think_v a_o very_a strange_a and_o unchristian_a charge_n and_o indeed_o a_o reproach_n upon_o all_o the_o minister_n of_o england_n many_o of_o which_o have_v be_v and_o many_o be_v such_o eminent_a and_o glorious_a light_n and_o instrument_n of_o good_a in_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n second_o that_o they_o who_o examine_v and_o approve_v any_o of_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v not_o minister_n themselves_o therefore_o can_v not_o approve_v other_o reply_n they_o who_o be_v themselves_o qualify_v approve_a call_v and_o ordain_v according_a to_o the_o mind_n of_o christ_n be_v lawful_a minister_n but_o they_o that_o approve_a minister_n in_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v such_o ergo_o it_o be_v say_v this_o be_v idem_fw-la per_fw-la idem_fw-la in_o a_o circle_n it_o be_v return_v thus_o that_o indeed_o the_o same_o thing_n that_o be_v prove_v at_o first_o be_v prove_v again_o by_o the_o same_o argument_n because_o the_o same_o thing_n be_v deny_v which_o be_v deny_v at_o first_o yet_o this_o be_v no_o circle_n in_o regard_n that_o he_o be_v force_v by_o the_o answerer_n deny_v that_o which_o be_v the_o first_o main_a question_n to_o use_v the_o first_o main_a argument_n again_o for_o he_o who_o deny_v those_o to_o be_v minister_n of_o christ_n who_o approve_v and_o ordain_v we_o deny_v we_o to_o be_v minister_n of_o christ_n who_o be_v approve_v and_o ordain_v by_o they_o and_o it_o be_v but_o one_o and_o the_o same_o question_n and_o therefore_o there_o can_v be_v no_o medium_n use_v to_o prove_v their_o ministry_n to_o be_v true_a but_o the_o same_o which_o be_v use_v to_o prove_v we_o to_o be_v true_a after_o much_o time_n spend_v in_o the_o former_a debate_n and_o it_o now_o grow_v late_o in_o the_o night_n some_o notwithstanding_o be_v still_o very_o importunate_a to_o have_v the_o conference_n carry_v on_o unto_o that_o branch_n of_o the_o former_a argument_n which_o concern_v the_o call_n of_o the_o minister_n whereupon_o one_o of_o the_o minister_n speak_v to_o this_o effect_n that_o unto_o a_o minister_n two_o thing_n be_v require_v qualification_n fit_v he_o for_o the_o service_n and_o a_o

minister_n in_o the_o church_n of_o england_n who_o be_v well_o know_v to_o be_v eminent_a in_o both_o the_o call_n be_v twofold_a inward_a from_o god_n and_o outward_a from_o man_n the_o inward_a

of_o a_o minister_n and_o to_o devote_v himself_o to_o serve_v the_o lord_n and_o his_o church_n in_o that_o employment_n and_o that_o all_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v destitute_a of_o this_o call_v we_o dare_v likewise_o challenge_v any_o man_n to_o make_v good_a the_o outward_a call_n be_v when_o a_o man_n thus_o qualify_v move_v and_o incline_v by_o god_n unto_o

give_v to_o his_o church_n at_o his_o ascension_n and_o if_o here_o be_v not_o all_o than_o christ_n at_o the_o time_n of_o his_o ascension_n do_v not_o give_v all_o gif_n sufficient_a for_o his_o

great_a victory_n it_o be_v their_o custom_n then_o to_o give_v gift_n and_o largess_n to_o the_o people_n so_o christ_n ascend_v into_o heaven_n and_o lead_v the_o devil_n hell_n and_o death_n as_o

apostle_n reckon_v up_o those_o gift_n in_o particular_a and_o point_v out_o the_o end_n for_o which_o they_o be_v give_v and_o the_o time_n how_o long_o they_o be_v to_o last_o it_o can_v be_v

for_o those_o end_n of_o perfect_v the_o saint_n the_o work_n of_o the_o ministry_n the_o edify_n of_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n or_o else_o it_o must_v be_v acknowledge_v that_o themselves_o not_o

god_n by_o nature_n we_o ought_v not_o to_o perform_v religious_a service_n to_o jesus_n christ_n 2._o the_o apostle_n show_v that_o they_o be_v ignorant_a of_o god_n who_o perform_v service_n to_o they_o who_o be_v not_o god_n by_o nature_n 3._o m._n cheynell_n show_v that_o christ_n be_v god_n by_o nature_n subsist_v in_o the_o form_n of_o god_n and_o be_v god_n equal_a to_o his_o father_n and_o prove_v it_o from_o phil._n 2._o 6._o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o subsist_v in_o the_o form_n of_o god_n think_v it_o no_o robbery_n to_o be_v equal_a with_o god_n he_o who_o be_v in_o the_o form_n of_o god_n and_o without_o prejudice_n to_o the_o father_n equal_a to_o he_o must_v needs_o be_v god_n by_o nature_n the_o self_n same_o god_n though_o not_o person_n with_o the_o father_n and_o therefore_o a_o independent_a god_n god_n in_o himself_o god_n of_o himself_o the_o eternal_a god_n it_o be_v robbery_n to_o make_v more_o god_n than_o one_o it_o be_v robbery_n to_o make_v the_o saint_n equal_a with_o god_n but_o it_o be_v no_o robbery_n to_o make_v god_n the_o son_n equal_a with_o god_n the_o father_n because_o christ_n be_v god_n by_o nature_n but_o no_o saint_n be_v god_n by_o nature_n the_o fullness_n of_o the_o godhead_n all_o the_o fullness_n of_o the_o godhead_n dwell_v and_o dwell_v bodily_a that_o be_v real_o for_o body_n be_v oppose_v to_o shadow_n in_o the_o person_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o the_o same_o fullness_n of_o the_o godhead_n which_o be_v in_o christ_n be_v not_o true_o and_o real_o in_o any_o saint_n the_o congregation_n receive_v this_o exposition_n with_o a_o general_a shout_n and_o acclamation_n but_o m._n cheynell_n desire_v they_o to_o forbear_v and_o tell_v they_o that_o if_o he_o can_v not_o entreat_v they_o to_o be_v silent_a he_o will_v silence_v himself_o and_o proceed_v no_o further_o lest_o such_o testimony_n of_o approbation_n may_v give_v offence_n or_o cause_n disturbance_n 2._o desire_a the_o company_n to_o take_v notice_n that_o m._n earbury_n call_v the_o spirit_n the_o power_n of_o god_n almost_o as_o oft_o as_o he_o have_v occasion_n to_o mention_v the_o spirit_n which_o expression_n do_v too_o plain_o declare_v that_o m._n earbury_n hold_v correspondence_n with_o the_o socinian_o in_o their_o heretical_a opinion_n m._n earbury_n profess_v that_o he_o never_o read_v any_o of_o their_o writing_n and_o yet_o when_o m._n cheynell_n distinguish_v between_o the_o spirit_n and_o the_o grace_n of_o the_o spirit_n a_o little_a after_o m._n earbury_n forget_v himself_o and_o say_v that_o be_v a_o polandism_n conceive_v that_o the_o spirit_n be_v by_o that_o distinction_n imprison_v in_o heaven_n and_o he_o begin_v to_o tell_v a_o story_n of_o some_o cast_v out_o by_o a_o synod_n for_o such_o expression_n and_o when_o m._n cheynell_n do_v distinguish_v afterward_o between_o christ_n consider_v as_o a_o glorifiedman_n and_o as_o the_o lord_n of_o glory_n m._n earbury_n say_v glorify_a man_n be_v one_o of_o the_o polonian_a expression_n let_v the_o reader_n judge_v whether_o m._n earbury_n never_o read_v any_o of_o the_o polonian_a writer_n 3._o our_o brother_n desire_v m._n earbury_n to_o deal_v plain_o and_o clear_o with_o he_o whether_o he_o do_v acknowledge_v and_o believe_v three_o person_n and_o one_o god_n our_o brother_n question_n be_v ground_v upon_o m._n earbury_n his_o mention_n of_o three_o in_o heaven_n and_o yet_o his_o frequent_a confound_n of_o the_o son_n with_o the_o spirit_n for_o sure_a if_o the_o son_n be_v the_o spirit_n as_o he_o do_v common_o preach_v there_o can_v be_v three_o in_o heaven_n for_o the_o son_n and_o the_o spirit_n be_v but_o one_o as_o he_o conceive_v nay_o there_o will_v be_v but_o one_o in_o heaven_n for_o the_o son_n be_v nothing_o but_o the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o father_n or_o the_o power_n of_o the_o father_n and_o so_o there_o will_v be_v no_o more_o divine_a person_n in_o heaven_n but_o the_o father_n only_o beside_o m._n earbury_n say_v that_o the_o father_n be_v the_o true_a god_n and_o god_n be_v love_n and_o the_o son_n be_v wisdom_n and_o the_o spirit_n be_v power_n m._n earbury_n seem_v to_o put_v off_o his_o auditory_a with_o a_o trinity_n of_o attribute_n instead_o of_o a_o trinity_n of_o person_n and_o consequent_o to_o make_v many_o three_o in_o heaven_n for_o justice_n mercy_n eternity_n will_v make_v another_o three_o in_o this_o sense_n but_o m._n earbury_n say_v that_o he_o come_v not_o thitherto_o be_v catechise_v but_o it_o be_v easy_a to_o reply_v that_o he_o come_v thither_o to_o explain_v himself_o and_o satisfy_v the_o congregation_n which_o can_v not_o possible_o be_v do_v unless_o he_o will_v give_v positive_a answer_n to_o pertinent_a question_n m._n earbury_n tell_v we_o that_o the_o fullness_n of_o the_o godhead_n shall_v be_v reveal_v more_o clear_o hereafter_o in_o the_o flesh_n of_o the_o saint_n at_o the_o sound_n of_o the_o seven_o trumpet_n but_o it_o be_v more_o clear_o reveal_v in_o the_o prophet_n then_o by_o the_o apostle_n becasue_v the_o apostle_n be_v most_o take_v up_o with_o write_v about_o faith_n and_o particular_a thing_n yet_o john_n the_o divine_a write_v clear_o of_o it_o 1_o john_n 3._o 2._o and_o therefore_o he_o pronounce_v all_o they_o to_o be_v antichristian_a who_o do_v not_o believe_v that_o there_o be_v the_o same_o fullness_n of_o the_o godhead_n in_o christ_n and_o all_o the_o saint_n which_o he_o conceive_v to_o be_v very_o clear_a from_o the_o 1_o john_n 4._o 2._o 3._o that_o be_v say_v he_o whosoever_o deny_v that_o christ_n be_v in_o we_o be_v antichrist_n for_o by_o flesh_n be_v not_o mean_v the_o human_a nature_n say_v m._n earbury_n but_o the_o come_n of_o christ_n be_v the_o manifestation_n of_o the_o godhead_n in_o the_o flesh_n of_o saint_n for_o christ_n himself_o be_v the_o spirit_n with_o god_n our_o brother_n be_v here_o force_v to_o lay_v open_a m._n earbury_n and_o declare_v that_o m._n earbury_n conceive_v that_o christ_n be_v man_n before_o the_o world_n be_v and_o therefore_o though_o he_o come_v into_o the_o world_n to_o be_v make_v of_o a_o woman_n yet_o he_o come_v not_o to_o be_v make_v man_n but_o to_o be_v make_v flesh_n hereupon_o mr._n earbury_n charge_v our_o brother_n with_o reveal_v of_o secret_n and_o say_v that_o he_o have_v deliver_v himself_o to_o that_o purpose_n in_o a_o private_a conference_n our_o brother_n reply_v that_o he_o have_v not_o speak_v a_o word_n about_o that_o argument_n if_o m._n earbury_n have_v not_o lead_v he_o into_o it_o by_o his_o perplex_a discourse_n and_o pronounce_v such_o a_o censure_n upon_o all_o man_n that_o be_v not_o of_o his_o mind_n as_o to_o say_v they_o be_v antichristian_a master_n earbury_n insist_v much_o upon_o ephes._n 3._o 19_o that_o you_o may_v be_v fill_v with_o all_o the_o fullness_n of_o god_n ephesian_n which_o our_o brother_n say_v be_v to_o be_v expound_v by_o john_n 1._o 16._o of_o his_o fullness_n we_o have_v all_o receive_a grace_n for_o grace_n divers_a be_v say_v in_o the_o scripture_n to_o be_v full_a of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n when_o they_o be_v sufficient_o enable_v to_o perform_v the_o duty_n which_o belong_v to_o their_o present_a estate_n and_o be_v grow_v up_o towards_o that_o fullness_n which_o all_o the_o saint_n shall_v enjoy_v when_o god_n be_v all_o in_o all_o but_o m._n earbury_n seem_v most_o confident_a when_o he_o come_v to_o urge_v his_o argument_n take_v out_o of_o the_o book_n of_o the_o revelation_n the_o first_o be_v draw_v from_o revel_v 2._o 26._o the_o saint_n have_v the_o same_o power_n over_o the_o nation_n to_o crush_v and_o break_v they_o that_o christ_n himself_o have_v the_o answer_n be_v that_o the_o saint_n do_v not_o overcome_v by_o their_o own_o strength_n but_o by_o the_o strength_n of_o christ_n christ_n do_v overcome_v and_o we_o triumph_v we_o have_v a_o share_n in_o that_o victory_n which_o christ_n gain_v by_o his_o
