A84893	Light vanquishing darknesse. Or a vindication of some truths formerly declared, from those aspersions which have been (by reason of some misapprehensions) cast upon them; now published for the satisfaction and benefit of others. With a preambular epistle to all sorts of men. As also a parcell of good counsell, if you can take it. / By Captain Francis Freeman, a late member of the army.	Freeman, Francis.; Fairfax, Thomas Fairfax, Baron, 1612-1671.	1650 (1650)	Wing F2129; Thomason E615_7; ESTC R206543	58,771	68

make_v way_n for_o your_o understanding_n of_o these_o thing_n herein_o contain_v and_o if_o so_o be_v that_o any_o of_o my_o adversary_n shall_v have_v that_o impudence_n to_o deny_v any_o one_o particular_a herein_o express_v i_o shall_v be_v able_a to_o clear_v it_o by_o the_o testimony_n of_o honest_a man_n and_o shall_v humble_o refer_v it_o to_o the_o serious_a consideration_n of_o the_o judicious_a reader_n to_o judge_v of_o their_o deal_n towards_o i_o and_o so_o proceed_v in_o the_o prosecution_n of_o each_o particular_a in_o order_n and_o first_o of_o the_o first_o which_o be_v touch_v the_o manner_n of_o our_o discourse_n the_o ground_n of_o my_o argument_n lie_v thus_o that_o he_o that_o have_v faith_n he_o be_v in_o christ_n and_o christ_n in_o he_o so_o that_o faith_n be_v christ_n manifest_v in_o he_o and_o he_o be_v christ_n though_o not_o essential_o yet_o in_o respect_n of_o that_o spiritual_a oneness_n with_o he_o and_o in_o he_o john_n 17._o so_o that_o there_o can_v be_v no_o separation_n nor_o division_n betwixt_o the_o head_n and_o member_n in_o regard_n of_o that_o spiritual_a union_n and_o oneness_n and_o as_o there_o be_v that_o spiritual_a union_n and_o oneness_n that_o can_v admit_v of_o any_o separation_n or_o division_n so_o i_o shall_v handle_v the_o branch_n thereof_o issue_v or_o flow_v from_o they_o as_o stream_n from_o a_o fountain_n both_o joint_o and_o several_o in_o regard_n of_o that_o near_a relation_n and_o conjunction_n betwixt_o the_o head_n and_o member_n but_o first_o we_o be_v to_o consider_v that_o there_o be_v a_o relative_a union_n and_o there_o be_v a_o real_a union_n which_o i_o shall_v show_v you_o under_o a_o twofold_a consideration_n yet_o comparative_o in_o my_o apprehension_n they_o be_v both_o as_o one_o 1._o this_o relative_a union_n be_v as_o the_o husband_n and_o wise_a christ_n and_o his_o church_n and_o this_o real_a union_n be_v as_o the_o tree_n and_o branch_n and_o if_o so_o be_v a_o branch_n of_o that_o tree_n be_v cut_v off_o it_o be_v no_o long_o a_o branch_n of_o that_o tree_n be_v disunite_v although_o it_o retain_v the_o same_o quality_n for_o a_o while_n in_o regard_n of_o its_o own_o nature_n yet_o it_o soon_o wither_v and_o die_v although_o the_o body_n live_v and_o grow_v now_o this_o relative_a union_n with_o christ_n and_o his_o church_n be_v such_o a_o union_n that_o they_o be_v so_o inseparable_o unite_v and_o knit_v together_o with_o that_o spiritual_a bond_n of_o love_n and_o amity_n that_o can_v never_o be_v break_v for_o our_o saviour_n christ_n say_v that_o he_o be_v the_o vine_n and_o you_o be_v the_o branch_n and_o if_o so_o b_o e_z a_o member_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v a_o branch_n of_o that_o vine_n be_v cut_v off_o by_o a_o corporal_a or_o temporal_a death_n yet_o the_o spirit_n retain_v its_o first_o principle_n and_o return_n to_o god_n that_o give_v it_o and_o spritual_o it_o continue_v and_o remain_v a_o branch_n of_o that_o royal_a stock_n for_o as_o the_o apostle_n say_v that_o neither_o life_n nor_o death_n nor_o thing_n present_a nor_o thing_n to_o come_v shall_v be_v able_a to_o separate_v we_o from_o the_o love_n of_o god_n which_o be_v in_o christ_n jesus_n so_o that_o here_o we_o see_v that_o this_o be_v that_o spiritual_a union_n and_o oneness_n not_o that_o the_o body_n be_v the_o head_n or_o the_o head_n the_o body_n but_o that_o all_o the_o member_n as_o branch_n make_v up_o but_o one_o body_n whereof_o christ_n be_v the_o head_n and_o they_o be_v a_o perfect_a body_n in_o christ_n so_o that_o there_o need_v no_o supply_n of_o any_o thing_n to_o make_v they_o a_o perfect_a body_n for_o their_o be_v nothing_o want_v to_o make_v they_o complete_a as_o there_o may_v be_v want_v in_o the_o natural_a body_n of_o man_n for_o if_o there_o be_v but_o a_o little_a finger_n want_v or_o but_o one_o joint_n of_o that_o little_a finger_n it_o be_v a_o imperfect_a body_n so_o that_o the_o eye_n can_v say_v to_o the_o hand_n i_o have_v no_o need_n of_o thou_o nor_o the_o head_n to_o the_o foot_n i_o have_v no_o need_n of_o you_o 1_o cor._n 12.21_o but_o in_o this_o spiritual_a body_n of_o christ_n it_o be_v otherwise_o for_o the_o flesh_n be_v crucify_v at_o jerusalem_n and_o as_o the_o apostle_n speak_v gal._n 2.20_o i_o be_o crucify_v with_o christ_n nevertheless_o i_o live_v yet_o not_o i_o but_o christ_n live_v in_o i_o and_o they_o that_o be_v christ_n have_v crucify_v the_o flesh_n with_o the_o affection_n and_o lust_n gal._n 5.24_o and_o as_o christ_n be_v head_n over_o his_o church_n so_o god_n have_v put_v all_o thing_n under_o his_o foot_n and_o give_v he_o to_o be_v head_n over_o all_o thing_n to_o the_o church_n which_o be_v his_o body_n the_o fullness_n of_o he_o that_o fill_v all_o in_o all_o eph._n 1.22_o 23._o christ_n be_v all_o and_o in_o all_o by_o hit_v providence_n to_o every_o creature_n but_o he_o be_v all_o and_o in_o all_o in_o a_o more_o special_a and_o peculiar_a manner_n by_o his_o providence_n to_o his_o saint_n which_o be_v his_o church_n so_o that_o there_o can_v be_v no_o separation_n nor_o division_n betwixt_o the_o head_n and_o member_n and_o for_o a_o far_a illustration_n and_o conformation_n of_o this_o truth_n in_o hand_n i_o speak_v chief_o to_o you_o who_o be_v friend_n and_o lover_n of_o truth_n i_o shall_v commend_v to_o your_o serious_a consideration_n these_o scripture_n follow_v to_o wit_n jer._n 23.5_o 6._o jer._n 33.16_o where_o you_o shall_v find_v in_o the_o former_a chap._n the_o lord_n speak_v to_o the_o israelite_n of_o a_o righteous_a branch_n that_o he_o will_v raise_v unto_o david_n and_o that_o a_o king_n shall_v reign_v and_o prosper_v etc._n etc._n in_o his_o day_n judah_n shall_v be_v save_v and_o israel_n shall_v dwell_v safe_o and_o this_o be_v his_o name_n whereby_o he_o shall_v be_v call_v the_o lord_n our_o righteousness_n now_o this_o righteous_a branch_n be_v mean_v christ_n who_o be_v the_o king_n of_o saint_n and_o he_o shall_v prosper_v in_o the_o gather_n together_o of_o his_o saint_n from_o the_o uttermost_a part_n of_o the_o earth_n even_o among_o the_o heathen_a nay_o the_o heathen_n themselves_o psal_n 2.8_o and_o this_o be_v do_v out_o of_o his_o abundant_a love_n to_o his_o poor_a creature_n and_o here_o he_o be_v call_v the_o lord_n our_o righteousness_n and_o in_o the_o 33._o chap._n of_o the_o same_o book_n of_o jer._n before_o mention_v verse_n 16._o there_o you_o shall_v find_v a_o kind_n of_o reciprocal_a love_n by_o way_n of_o exchange_n of_o love_n betwixt_o christ_n and_o his_o church_n where_o he_o honour_v his_o church_n with_o his_o own_o name_n and_o in_o the_o very_a self_n same_o sweet_a expression_n the_o lord_n our_o righteousness_n so_o that_o every_o particular_a member_n have_v a_o interest_n in_o this_o name_n as_o you_o may_v gather_v by_o this_o scripture_n follow_v which_o be_v as_o i_o conceive_v a_o confirmation_n of_o this_o truth_n see_v 1_o cor._n 11.3_o where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o head_n of_o every_o man_n be_v christ_n so_o that_o every_o particular_a member_n be_v christ_n not_o essential_o not_o that_o the_o body_n be_v the_o head_n or_o the_o head_n the_o body_n but_o under_o this_o twofold_a consideration_n 1._o in_o regard_n of_o that_o spiritual_a oneness_n with_o he_o and_o in_o he_o and_o 2._o in_o regard_n of_o his_o name_n wherewith_o he_o shall_v be_v call_v the_o lord_n our_o righteousness_n which_o be_v here_o speak_v of_o the_o church_n and_o you_o may_v see_v in_o the_o 1_o cor._n 6.17_o that_o he_o that_o be_v jayn_v unto_o the_o lord_n be_v one_o spirit_n now_o if_o so_o be_v i_o have_v say_v that_o i_o have_v be_v the_o christ_n then_o certain_o i_o have_v speak_v blasphemy_n in_o the_o high_a degree_n and_o my_o adversary_n may_v have_v have_v just_a cause_n against_o i_o and_o that_o scripture_n have_v be_v fulfil_v in_o i_o that_o in_o the_o latter_a time_n there_o shall_v arise_v many_o false_a christ_n &c._n &c._n but_o i_o hope_v in_o the_o handle_n of_o this_o point_n i_o have_v make_v it_o so_o clear_a and_o so_o plain_a to_o the_o weak_a capacity_n that_o they_o can_v but_o plead_v my_o innocency_n and_o integrity_n and_o so_o i_o proceed_v to_o the_o next_o in_o order_n which_o be_v touch_v faith_n what_o say_v be_v according_a to_o my_o former_a discourse_n and_o the_o ground_n of_o my_o argument_n lay_v down_o therefore_o to_o prove_v the_o point_n that_o faith_n be_v christ_n see_v gal._n 3.23_o where_o christ_n be_v call_v faith_n the_o word_n be_v these_o in_o the_o history_n according_a to_o the_o letter_n but_o before_o faith_n come_v we_o be_v keep_v under_o the_o law_n etc._n etc._n but_o in_o the_o

blasphemy_n and_o if_o so_o be_v i_o have_v be_v a_o captain_n in_o his_o regiment_n he_o will_v have_v do_v no_o less_o than_o my_o col._n do_v and_o that_o there_o will_v sudden_o be_v a_o charge_n draw_v up_o against_o i_o but_o i_o know_v my_o own_o innocency_n tell_v he_o that_o i_o do_v not_o value_v a_o chip_n any_o charge_n that_o can_v be_v bring_v in_o against_o i_o and_o true_o for_o my_o part_n i_o conceive_v his_o very_a countenance_n do_v import_v much_o wrath_n and_o bitterness_n of_o spirit_n against_o i_o although_o he_o scarce_o ever_o know_v i_o or_o ever_o exchange_v three_o word_n with_o i_o before_o but_o what_o he_o have_v it_o seem_v he_o receive_v it_o from_o col._n okey_n or_o from_o some_o scandalous_a paper_n which_o be_v spread_v abroad_o by_o he_o which_o be_v ground_n enough_o for_o his_o anger_n towards_o i_o for_o here_o you_o shall_v see_v hand_n over_o head_n without_o due_a examination_n they_o will_v judge_v and_o condemn_v and_o speak_v pure_o one_o another_o language_n and_o all_o to_o advance_v their_o own_o interest_n but_o what_o they_o account_v blasphemy_n i_o know_v not_o but_o i_o be_o sure_a i_o have_v cashier_v many_o of_o my_o soldier_n for_o swear_v and_o drunkenness_n and_o have_v sharp_o reprove_v other_o for_o any_o kind_n of_o vice_n whatsoever_o that_o have_v come_v within_o the_o compass_n of_o my_o cognisance_n and_o that_o i_o shall_v appeal_v to_o these_o several_a place_n where_o we_o have_v be_v quarter_v any_o time_n this_o fifteen_o month_n and_o upward_o we_o be_v quarter_v eighteen_o week_n at_o

eight_o week_n more_o at_o s._n neot_n &_o kimbelion_n before_o our_o march_n into_o scotland_n all_o which_o time_n the_o people_n in_o these_o several_a place_n have_v have_v sufficient_a experience_n of_o we_o and_o be_v able_a and_o willing_a if_o occasion_n shall_v serve_v to_o give_v a_o very_a good_a testimony_n of_o our_o civil_a behaviour_n and_o carriage_n towards_o they_o and_o i_o dare_v be_v bold_a to_o speak_v it_o that_o they_o be_v as_o willing_a and_o ready_a to_o give_v we_o entertainment_n as_o any_o troop_n in_o the_o army_n and_o no_o disparagement_n to_o any_o and_o now_o you_o shall_v see_v more_o of_o my_o col._n deal_n towards_o i_o my_o cornet_n and_o three_o and_o twenty_o of_o my_o man_n be_v go_v for_o the_o service_n of_o ireland_n under_o capt._n barrington_n how_o he_o take_v advantage_n thereby_o notwitstanding_n he_o have_v give_v a_o verbal_a order_n not_o only_o to_o i_o but_o to_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o officer_n in_o his_o regiment_n that_o in_o case_n any_o of_o capt._n barrington_n man_n be_v not_o free_a to_o go_v for_o that_o service_n that_o we_o shall_v entertain_v and_o lift_v they_o in_o the_o room_n of_o our_o man_n that_o be_v free_a whereupon_o eighteen_o of_o his_o man_n come_v to_o i_o well_o mount_v and_o well_o arm_v and_o i_o have_v no_o soon_o entertain_v they_o but_o the_o col._n send_v i_o a_o express_a order_n not_o to_o recrute_n whereupon_o i_o discharge_v they_o and_o they_o all_o march_v up_o to_o london_n and_o be_v in_o a_o sad_a condition_n for_o when_o they_o come_v thither_o they_o go_v to_o the_o col._n but_o can_v not_o prevail_v with_o he_o to_o be_v entertain_v under_o my_o command_n and_o so_o be_v frustrate_v of_o all_o employment_n and_o continue_v so_o long_o notwithstanding_o they_o have_v oftentimes_o petition_v the_o col._n and_o divers_a friend_n have_v solicit_v in_o their_o behalf_n till_o they_o have_v spend_v their_o horse_n and_o all_o that_o they_o can_v make_v shift_n for_o yet_o afterward_o upon_o my_o engagement_n of_o lay_v down_o my_o commission_n as_o you_o shall_v see_v by_o and_o by_o he_o send_v they_o down_o to_o i_o afoot_o to_o be_v list_v again_o as_o may_v appear_v by_o divers_a letter_n under_o his_o own_o hand_n which_o be_v a_o pure_a piece_n of_o service_n which_o i_o shall_v refer_v to_o the_o reader_n to_o judge_v but_o of_o this_o by_o the_o way_n now_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o i_o find_v the_o colonel_n design_v against_o i_o partly_o through_o his_o malice_n towards_o i_o and_o partly_o set_v up_o his_o own_o interest_n know_v that_o offence_n may_v be_v take_v though_o not_o give_v but_o woe_n to_o he_o by_o who_o offence_n come_v and_o i_o know_v that_o wrath_n be_v cruel_a anger_n be_v outrageous_a and_o that_o it_o be_v a_o hard_a matter_n to_o stand_v before_o envy_v therefore_o i_o take_v my_o journey_n to_o london_n to_o see_v how_o the_o case_n stand_v betwixt_o my_o col._n

the_o benefit_n and_o privilege_n of_o a_o counsel_n at_o war_n know_v that_o it_o will_v have_v be_v the_o only_a way_n if_o i_o may_v obtain_v it_o to_o beget_v a_o right_a understanding_n betwixt_o

or_o fall_v by_o it_o and_o in_o case_n i_o be_v find_v guilty_a i_o shall_v willing_o suffer_v according_a to_o my_o demerit_n then_o the_o major_n and_o capt._n neale_n both_o do_v earnest_o desire_v in_o my_o behalf_n that_o a_o counsel_n of_o war_n may_v be_v have_v whereupon_o the_o col._n in_o a_o surious_a rage_n burst_v forth_o against_o capt._n neale_n in_o bitter_a language_n and_o tell_v he_o that_o he_o be_v as_o bad_a as_o i_o his_o turn_n be_v next_o and_o that_o he_o may_v trust_v to_o it_o for_o he_o have_v a_o charge_n against_o he_o as_o well_o as_o against_o i_o and_o put_v his_o hand_n in_o his_o pocket_n pretend_v to_o produce_v both_o our_o charge_n but_o do_v not_o and_o true_o for_o my_o part_n i_o do_v believe_v that_o if_o he_o have_v draw_v any_o
