A89135	Antichrist in man the Quakers Idol. Or a faithfull discovery of their ways and opinions by an eye and ear-witness thereof. Together with an answer and confutation of some dangerous and damnable doctrines justified, in a paper sent by them unto me: as also one of them taken with a lie in his mouth before the magistrates. / By Joshuah Miller, a servant of Christ in the work of the Gospel.

lighten_v all_o true_o christ_n be_v god_n yet_o not_o as_o he_o be_v call_v christ_n for_o so_o he_o be_v a_o mediator_n a_o middle_a person_n betwixt_o god_n and_o man_n therefore_o if_o they_o have_v say_v god_n as_o the_o creator_n give_v a_o light_n to_o all_o i_o shall_v agree_v but_o under_o that_o appellation_n as_o he_o be_v christ_n its_o unfound_a and_o not_o to_o be_v receive_v and_o from_o hence_o will_v follow_v that_o which_o i_o have_v note_v that_o then_o christ_n be_v in_o all_o man_n which_o be_v so_o direct_o contrary_a to_o scripture_n that_o unless_o man_n be_v in_o the_o dark_a they_o will_v not_o own_o therefore_o he_o that_o say_v upon_o that_o word_n know_v you_o not_o that_o christ_n be_v in_o you_o except_o you_o be_v reprobate_n 2_o cor._n 13.5_o w._n e._n make_v this_o interpretation_n that_o christ_n be_v in_o all_o man_n only_o they_o be_v ignorant_a thereof_o go_v much_o wide_a from_o the_o sense_n and_o have_v help_v the_o quaker_n to_o this_o opinion_n i_o shall_v therefore_o brief_o lay_v down_o two_o argument_n that_o evince_v the_o contrary_a draw_v from_o scripture_n that_o christ_n be_v not_o in_o all_o and_o therefore_o as_o christ_n do_v not_o inlighten_v all_o argum._n 1._o all_o in_o who_o christ_n be_v have_v the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n but_o some_o have_v not_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n ergo_fw-la christ_n be_v not_o in_o all_o 〈…〉_o the_o major_a be_v evident_a and_o needs_o no_o proof_n for_o christ_n and_o the_o spirit_n can_v be_v divide_v the_o minor_a i_o be_o to_o prove_v that_o all_o man_n have_v not_o christ_n spirit_n judge_n 19_o these_o be_v they_o who_o separate_v themselves_o have_v not_o the_o spirit_n it_o any_o man_n have_v not_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n he_o be_v come_v of_o his_o rom._n 8.9_o imply_v that_o there_o be_v a_o sort_n of_o man_n without_o the_o spirit_n and_o consequent_o without_o christ_n so_o that_o this_o argument_n be_v impregnable_a if_o the_o scripture_n be_v judge_v as_o he_o that_o have_v a_o body_n without_o a_o spirit_n be_v not_o a_o man_n so_o he_o that_o be_v without_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n have_v not_o christ_n argum._n 2._o he_o that_o have_v no_o faith_n have_v not_o christ_n but_o some_o man_n have_v no_o faith_n therefore_o they_o have_v not_o christ_n the_o major_a i_o prove_v by_o these_o scripture_n paul_n tell_v how_o he_o be_v in_o christ_n and_o christ_n in_o he_o gal._n 2.20_o the_o life_n i_o lead_v in_o the_o flesh_n be_v by_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n or_o upon_o he_o he_o know_v no_o other_o way_n of_o christ_n be_v in_o himself_o or_o other_o man_n therefore_o he_o pray_v for_o the_o ephesian_n that_o christ_n may_v dwell_v in_o their_o heart_n by_o faith_n eph._n 3.17_o yea_o it_o must_v needs_o argue_v christ_n be_v in_o none_o but_o by_o faith_n because_o damnation_n be_v so_o often_o threaten_v to_o he_o that_o believe_v not_o the_o minor_a that_o all_o man_n have_v not_o faith_n its_o manifest_a by_o these_o two_o scripture_n moses_n tell_v the_o people_n that_o they_o be_v child_n in_o who_o be_v no_o faith_n for_o they_o sacrifice_v to_o new_a god_n which_o new_a god_n be_v but_o old_a devil_n as_o read_v deut._n 3●_n 17.20_o so_o paul_n bid_v we_o pray_v that_o we_o may_v be_v deliver_v from_o unreasonable_a man_n for_o all_o man_n have_v not_o faith_n 2_o thess_n 3.2_o therefore_o all_o man_n have_v not_o christ_n faith_n be_v the_o hand_n that_o receive_v christ_n otherwise_o it_o be_v a_o riddle_n to_o the_o scripture_n to_o aver_v that_o christ_n be_v in_o he_o that_o want_v faith_n let_v we_o take_v heed_n of_o add_v to_o the_o word_n as_o such_o a_o opinion_n do_v lest_o all_o the_o plague_n therein_o be_v pour_v our_o upon_o we_o and_o thus_o i_o pass_v to_o the_o second_o head_n in_o the_o first_o position_n namely_o that_o this_o light_n be_v sufficient_a to_o save_v without_o any_o other_o mean_n this_o opinion_n flat_o contradict_v the_o whole_a current_n of_o scripture_n for_o it_o be_v no_o where_n say_v the_o light_n in_o every_o man_n will_v save_v but_o ●inely_o paul_n tell_v we_o that_o its_o sufficient_a to_o excuse_v accuse_v and_o condemn_v rom._n ●_o 15_o so_o that_o the_o heathen_n who_o have_v this_o light_n shall_v be_v condemn_v thereby_o and_o not_o for_o their_o unbeleef_n for_o first_o this_o opinion_n affirm_v that_o we_o be_v save_v by_o what_o be_v in_o we_o which_o be_v too_o near_o the_o pope_n to_o the_o heathen_n that_o have_v it_o deny_v christ_n to_o this_o day_n consider_v with_o i_o how_o can_v this_o light_n in_o every_o man_n discover_v these_o three_o thing_n 1._o that_o christ_n be_v bear_v of_o a_o virgin_n it_o must_v be_v faith_n to_o understand_v this_o which_o be_v a_o riddle_n to_o the_o wise_a philosopher_n and_o in_o time_n if_o man_n follow_v this_o light_n in_o they_o they_o will_v come_v to_o deny_v the_o birth_n of_o christ_n 2._o will_v it_o tell_v this_o that_o the_o world_n

heb._n 11.3_o 3._o how_o will_v the_o light_n in_o every_o man_n convince_v of_o the_o resurrection_n and_o ascension_n of_o body_n it_o be_v a_o opinion_n in_o philosophy_n that_o nothing_o can_v move_v out_o of_o its_o clement_a certain_o the_o wise_a heathen_a have_v a_o great_a measure_n of_o the_o light_n in_o they_o which_o be_v the_o first_o 〈◊〉_d than_o i_o can_v think_v any_o man_n have_v now_o they_o deny_v all_o these_o with_o many_o more_o which_o through_o faith_n we_o receive_v and_o true_o this_o opinion_n lead_v we_o to_o the_o heathen_a for_o our_o gospel_n but_o let_v they_o that_o will_v go_v for_o my_o part_n i_o never_o intend_v to_o run_v to_o the_o heathen_a for_o the_o gospel_n how_o do_v apollo_n convince_v the_o jew_n that_o jesus_n be_v the_o christ_n by_o the_o light_n in_o they_o no_o but_o by_o the_o scripture_n act_n 18.8_o 2._o this_o opinion_n destroy_v all_o mean_n of_o salvat_fw-la on_o salvation_n yea_o it_o dany_v christ_n to_o be_v a_o

1._o it_o deny_v all_o faith_n for_o if_o my_o salvation_n be_v by_o what_o be_v in_o i_o than_o faith_n be_v void_a for_o what_o be_v see_v be_v not_o faith_n heb._n 11.1_o be_v not_o faith_n the_o

apprehend_v christ_n who_o alone_o justify_v we_o in_o and_o through_o faith_n 2._o this_o opinion_n deny_v preach_v to_o be_v a_o mean_n of_o salvation_n direct_o contrary_a to_o paul_n testimony_n thereof_o it_o please_v god_n by_o the_o foolishness_n of_o preach_v to_o save_v they_o that_o believe_v 1_o cor._n 1.21_o but_o it_o seem_v these_o man_n be_v so_o wise_a that_o it_o please_v they_o that_o preach_v shall_v not_o be_v a_o mean_n of_o salvation_n read_v rom._n 10.14_o 15.17_o 3._o then_o the_o scripture_n it_o seem_v be_v no_o mean_n in_o their_o account_n to_o what_o end_n be_v they_o write_v here_o a_o learned_a man_n tell_v you_o that_o the_o scripture_n be_v able_a to_o make_v we_o wise_a to_o salvation_n through_o faith_n in_o christ_n 2_o tim._n 3.15_o do_v not_o this_o maintain_v other_o mean_n beside_o christ_n what_o can_v be_v say_v more_o to_o condemn_v this_o damnable_a doctrine_n that_o deny_v all_o external_a mean_n of_o salvation_n as_o if_o a_o man_n may_v be_v save_v without_o scripture_n preach_v or_o faith_n but_o i_o will_v end_v the_o answer_n to_o the_o first_o error_n or_o rather_o heresy_n by_o

give_v this_o distinction_n of_o a_o threefold_a light_n which_o to_o i_o the_o scripture_n warrant_v the_o first_o be_v the_o light_n of_o nature_n or_o reason_n this_o every_o man_n have_v and_o this_o be_v mean_v by_o that_o word_n john_n 1.9_o yea_o this_o light_n it_o be_v the_o quaker_n contend_v for_o to_o be_v sufficient_a and_o this_o be_v but_o a_o comparative_a darkness_n to_o the_o second_o and_o that_o you_o may_v have_v not_o my_o word_n for_o the_o same_o paul_n uphold_v this_o distinction_n the_o gentile_n which_o know_v not_o god_n do_v by_o nature_n the_o thing_n contain_v in_o the_o law_n where_o take_v notice_n what_o do_v paul_n mean_a by_o nature_n nothing_o else_o but_o the_o light_n they_o have_v to_o distinguish_v they_o from_o beast_n yet_o mark_v he_o say_v they_o know_v not_o god_n for_o all_o this_o light_n so_o 1_o cor._n 11.14_o do_v not_o nature_n teach_v you_o what_o can_v be_v more_o perspicuous_a then_o to_o signify_v the_o light_n which_o be_v

2.9_o 3._o light_n be_v that_o of_o glory_n which_o be_v the_o consummation_n and_o perfection_n of_o the_o two_o former_a and_o this_o i_o understand_v by_o that_o word_n of_o christ_n he_o that_o follow_v i_o shall_v not_o walk_v in_o darkness_n but_o shall_v have_v the_o light_n of_o life_n john_n 8.12_o mark_v it_o speak_v in_o the_o future_a tense_n as_o if_o our_o life_n now_o be_v not_o full_a of_o light_n that_o be_v total_o free_v from_o dark_a thought_n evil_a motion_n and_o the_o like_a but_o the_o time_n shall_v come_v when_o he_o that_o follow_v i_o shall_v partake_v of_o a_o life_n without_o sin_n or_o any_o darkness_n at_o all_o now_o let_v none_o mis-understand_a i_o i_o do_v not_o say_v or_o mean_v that_o there_o be_v three_o light_n in_o god_n but_o a_o threefold_a

light_n in_o the_o firmament_n yet_o they_o be_v from_o one_o so_o this_o threefold_a light_n the_o lord_n have_v make_v to_o manifest_v himself_o three_o way_n the_o first_o be_v under_o and_o before_o the_o law_n the_o second_o be_v in_o the_o gospel_n and_o the_o three_o be_v in_o glory_n the_o first_o light_n make_v we_o man_n the_o second_o light_n make_v we_o christian_n man_n the_o three_o glorify_a man_n the_o first_o bring_v we_o under_o the_o rule_n of_o the_o law_n the_o second_o bring_v we_o under_o the_o rule_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o gospel_n and_o the_o last_o bring_v

you_o may_v see_v as_o in_o a_o glass_n what_o they_o maintain_v i_o shall_v take_v it_o into_o three_o part_n and_o answer_v the_o same_o 1._o they_o aver_v the_o scripture_n not_o to_o be_v god_n word_n and_o what_o reason_n they_o give_v be_v because_o christ_n be_v call_v the_o word_n of_o god_n in_o divers_a scripture_n but_o will_v it_o hence_o follow_v that_o we_o may_v not_o call_v the_o
