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

place_v he_o and_o so_o we_o break_v of_o our_o discourse_n for_o that_o time_n but_o it_o seem_v to_o i_o that_o they_o be_v somewhat_o trouble_v at_o it_o now_o the_o next_o time_n we_o meet_v together_o we_o have_v some_o far_a discourse_n touch_v ordinance_n and_o to_o my_o think_n before_o we_o part_v they_o be_v very_o well_o satisfy_v for_o we_o part_v upon_o very_o fair_a term_n and_o i_o go_v up_o into_o my_o chamber_n where_o i_o be_v not_o long_o before_o i_o have_v some_o thought_n of_o write_v a_o epistle_n to_o all_o sort_n of_o man_n and_o so_o call_v for_o a_o pen_n joke_n and_o paper_n and_o begin_v to_o write_v but_o before_o i_o have_v write_v three_o line_n they_o come_v to_o i_o again_o and_o i_o tell_v they_o what_o i_o be_v about_o and_o that_o i_o be_v write_v a_o epistle_n to_o all_o sort_n of_o man_n that_o be_v under_o several_a dispensation_n or_o ministration_n and_o so_o fall_v into_o discourse_n again_o spend_v some_o time_n in_o it_o and_o all_o this_o time_n they_o be_v very_o merry_a and_o pleasant_a with_o i_o in_o so_o much_o that_o i_o can_v not_o conceive_v they_o have_v any_o prejudice_n against_o i_o or_o any_o design_n to_o advance_v their_o own_o interest_n which_o i_o shall_v refer_v to_o you_o to_o judge_v and_o so_o we_o part_v for_o that_o night_n and_o go_v to_o bed_n and_o the_o next_o morning_n i_o write_v the_o former_a part_n of_o this_o epistle_n and_o show_v it_o to_o they_o but_o it_o do_v appear_v to_o i_o that_o it_o be_v not_o well_o resent_v by_o they_o for_o in_o a_o very_a short_a time_n after_o they_o make_v some_o complaint_n to_o colonel_n okey_n of_o some_o strange_a point_n which_o i_o shall_v hold_v as_o they_o say_v which_o occasion_v some_o dispute_n among_o we_o in_o the_o presence_n of_o one_o capt._n smith_n and_o other_o now_o the_o colonel_n meet_v i_o at_o bedford_n with_o some_o other_o officer_n of_o his_o regiment_n tell_v i_o that_o he_o have_v hear_v of_o some_o strange_a opinion_n i_o shall_v hold_v but_o never_o have_v any_o discourse_n with_o i_o as_o to_o know_v what_o they_o be_v therefore_o he_o desire_v to_o propound_v some_o question_n unto_o i_o my_o answer_n be_v that_o i_o shall_v be_v very_o free_a to_o answer_v to_o any_o question_n that_o he_o shall_v propound_v unto_o i_o so_o that_o it_o may_v be_v do_v in_o a_o way_n of_o love_n which_o he_o promise_v it_o shall_v so_o he_o propound_v this_o questian_n first_o what_o i_o think_v of_o the_o use_n of_o ordinance_n my_o answer_n be_v that_o all_o those_o that_o be_v under_o any_o of_o they_o or_o in_o the_o use_n of_o any_o of_o they_o that_o it_o be_v their_o duty_n to_o be_v obedient_a unto_o they_o till_o god_n call_v they_o to_o a_o high_a ministration_n and_o that_o i_o like_v they_o well_o that_o be_v zealous_a in_o the_o performance_n thereof_o for_o i_o do_v believe_v they_o have_v some_o comfort_n in_o the_o use_n of_o they_o the_o second_o question_n be_v what_o i_o think_v of_o the_o scripture_n and_o whether_o i_o do_v acknowledge_v the_o scripture_n to_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n my_o answer_n be_v that_o it_o be_v the_o write_a word_n of_o god_n the_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n be_v the_o penman_n and_o that_o it_o be_v my_o daily_a practice_n to_o make_v use_n of_o the_o bible_n call_v the_o scripture_n when_o opportunity_n serve_v and_o i_o tell_v they_o that_o every_o scripture_n be_v a_o mystery_n until_o it_o be_v make_v know_v to_o we_o or_o reveal_v in_o we_o and_o so_o it_o come_v to_o be_v above_o that_o scripture_n without_o we_o for_o it_o be_v say_v to_o be_v a_o hide_a mystery_n to_o they_o that_o perish_v but_o the_o power_n of_o god_n unto_o salvation_n to_o every_o one_o that_o believe_v then_o by_o this_o time_n they_o all_o come_v about_o i_o like_o bee_n as_o the_o psalmist_n say_v they_o keep_v i_o up_o on_o every_o side_n they_o keep_v i_o up_o i_o say_v on_o every_o side_n etc._n etc._n one_o catch_v at_o i_o and_o another_o catch_v at_o i_o insomuch_o that_o i_o earnest_o desire_v they_o to_o forbear_v any_o further_a discourse_n for_o i_o see_v that_o they_o lie_v in_o wait_n for_o i_o and_o as_o it_o do_v appear_v to_o we_o afterward_o that_o they_o have_v lay_v a_o snare_n to_o entrap_v i_o and_o catch_v i_o into_o their_o own_o net_n which_o they_o cunning_o have_v lay_v but_o i_o be_v very_o cautious_a and_o wary_a how_o to_o speak_v to_o they_o and_o for_o this_o reason_n which_o i_o give_v they_o that_o i_o may_v speak_v something_o in_o answer_n to_o their_o question_n that_o they_o may_v not_o well_o bear_v for_o say_v i_o that_o which_o may_v be_v a_o truth_n to_o i_o may_v not_o be_v a_o truth_n to_o you_o and_o yet_o a_o truth_n in_o itself_o the_o word_n of_o god_n which_o be_v god_n in_o his_o word_n write_v in_o i_o be_v more_o to_o i_o then_o the_o whole_a book_n of_o the_o scripture_n both_o of_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n for_o what_o be_v it_o without_o it_o be_v unseal_v and_o the_o book_n open_v and_o yet_o i_o can_v assure_v you_o i_o prize_v it_o at_z as_o high_a a_o rate_n as_o any_o of_o you_o all_o can_v do_v but_o if_o so_o be_v you_o shall_v ask_v a_o child_n of_o seven_o year_n old_a what_o book_n it_o be_v and_o lay_v it_o before_o he_o he_o will_v say_v it_o be_v the_o bible_n or_o peradventure_o he_o will_v tell_v you_o it_o be_v the_o scripture_n why_o because_o he_o have_v be_v tell_v so_o but_o if_o so_o be_v i_o know_v the_o word_n of_o god_n which_o be_v god_n in_o his_o word_n be_v write_v in_o i_o then_o i_o know_v assure_o that_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n because_o it_o be_v so_o manifest_v unto_o i_o but_o how_o shall_v we_o know_v this_o of_o a_o truth_n say_v cornet_n friend_n how_o may_v this_o appear_v to_o we_o my_o answer_n be_v that_o the_o witness_n of_o the_o spirit_n do_v bear_v witness_n with_o my_o spirit_n and_o that_o i_o have_v certain_a evidence_n and_o demonstration_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n work_v in_o my_o spirit_n and_o that_o i_o see_v a_o glorious_a change_n in_o i_o since_o i_o have_v pass_v through_o all_o these_o form_n or_o ministeation_n which_o i_o have_v former_o be_v under_o i_o tell_v they_o likewise_o that_o i_o have_v be_v a_o papist_n protestant_n presbyterian_a antinomian_a independent_a anabaptist_n seeker_n etc._n etc._n but_o i_o give_v god_n thanks_o i_o have_v pass_v through_o they_o all_o and_o that_o scripture_n be_v fulfil_v in_o i_o which_o be_v a_o promise_n make_v by_o christ_n that_o he_o will_v put_v his_o law_n in_o our_o mind_n he_o will_v writ_v they_o in_o our_o heart_n and_o he_o will_v be_v to_o we_o a_o god_n and_o we_o shall_v be_v to_o he_o a_o people_n which_o law_n be_v write_v in_o my_o heart_n and_o have_v make_v i_o conformable_a in_o obedience_n to_o his_o will_n and_o this_o law_n be_v write_v in_o my_o heart_n be_v far_o above_o any_o law_n without_o i_o as_o for_o example_n the_o scripture_n contain_v in_o they_o divers_a precept_n as_o in_o the_o decalogue_n thou_o shall_v do_v no_o murder_n thou_o shall_v not_o commit_v adultery_n thou_o shall_v not_o steal_v thou_o shall_v not_o bear_v false_a witness_n etc._n etc._n we_o see_v this_o law_n we_o read_v it_o and_o yet_o we_o break_v it_o we_o can_v keep_v it_o why_o because_o we_o see_v and_o read_v no_o more_o but_o the_o bare_a literal_a expression_n and_o be_v without_o we_o but_o if_o god_n come_v in_o in_o power_n and_o command_v i_o from_o within_o either_o to_o do_v or_o not_o to_o do_v than_o i_o can_v break_v it_o but_o i_o must_v keep_v it_o and_o that_o from_o a_o principle_n of_o love_n from_o within_o then_o come_v in_o capt._n neale_n and_o one_o mr._n easton_n who_o be_v no_o soon_o in_o the_o room_n but_o col._n okey_n in_o a_o seem_a merry_a way_n take_v captain_n neale_n by_o the_o shoulder_n and_o thrust_v he_o to_o i_o use_v these_o very_a expression_n that_o he_o will_v be_v on_o my_o side_n for_o he_o be_v of_o my_o judgement_n to_o which_o capt._n neale_n answer_v that_o he_o think_v he_o shall_v although_o we_o be_v the_o weak_a side_n then_o lieut._n cheese_n speak_v something_o in_o reference_n to_o our_o former_a discourse_n cap._n neal_n ask_v i_o whether_o i_o will_v answer_v he_o or_o whether_o he_o shall_v so_o i_o desire_v he_o to_o answer_v be_v willing_a to_o be_v quit_v of_o any_o far_a discourse_n for_o those_o reason_n before_o mention_v in_o that_o i_o find_v they_o to_o lie_v in_o wait_n for_o i_o then_o capt._n neale_n answer_v clear_o to_o the_o point_n which_o

and_o the_o kingdom_n of_o antichrist_n destroy_v which_o the_o lord_n will_v do_v one_o day_n with_o the_o breath_n of_o his_o mouth_n and_o brightness_n of_o his_o come_n and_o for_o my_o more_o orderly_a proceed_n herein_o i_o shall_v give_v you_o a_o true_a and_o perfect_a description_n both_o of_o the_o manner_n of_o our_o discourse_n and_o also_o the_o manner_n of_o their_o carriage_n towards_o i_o and_o so_o leave_v it_o to_o the_o godly-wise_a to_o judge_v i_o shall_v begin_v with_o the_o first_o particular_a touch_v our_o discourse_n and_o so_o proceed_v to_o the_o rest_n in_o order_n as_o they_o lie_v faith_n be_v the_o point_n which_o we_o insist_v on_o and_o this_o be_v my_o very_a expression_n 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 and_o he_o be_v christ_n but_o this_o he_o deny_v then_o i_o ask_v he_o whether_o he_o have_v faith_n his_o answer_n be_v that_o he_o do_v hope_n he_o have_v than_o i_o tell_v he_o that_o he_o must_v have_v some_o ground_n for_o it_o and_o if_o he_o have_v faith_n than_o these_o sign_n shall_v follow_v they_o that_o believe_v and_o cite_v that_o

then_o he_o ask_v i_o whether_o i_o have_v faith_n my_o answer_n be_v yea_o then_o say_v he_o you_o be_v christ_n you_o be_v able_a to_o remove_v mountain_n my_o answer_n be_v yea_o i_o be_v able_a to_o remove_v mountain_n then_o he_o far_o reply_v and_o say_v thus_o if_o you_o be_v christ_n you_o be_v god_n you_o be_v here_o you_o be_v at_o london_n you_o be_v every_o where_o my_o answer_n be_v yea_o though_o not_o essential_o as_o i_o be_o in_o this_o body_n of_o flesh_n but_o in_o respect_n of_o that_o spiritual_a oneness_n with_o he_o and_o in_o he_o and_o that_o i_o be_o here_o and_o at_o london_n and_o above_o london_n then_o we_o speak_v something_o concern_v the_o personality_n of_o the_o deity_n which_o point_n be_v quick_o end_v for_o the_o will_v stay_v no_o long_o to_o dispute_v out_o those_o point_n with_o i_o but_o frame_v some_o excuse_n to_o be_v go_v say_v that_o he_o have_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o business_n then_o i_o earnest_o desire_v he_o to_o stay_v that_o i_o may_v make_v forth_o these_o point_n to_o he_o but_o he_o will_v not_o then_o i_o make_v they_o clear_a to_o my_o friend_n which_o be_v with_o we_o who_o tell_v i_o that_o mr._n cox_n be_v not_o able_a to_o dispute_v these_o point_n with_o i_o which_o he_o conceive_v be_v the_o reason_n of_o his_o haste_n this_o discourse_n be_v about_o twelve_o a_o clock_n and_o i_o hear_v no_o more_o

i_o be_v christ_n i_o be_v god_n and_o that_o i_o deny_v the_o trinity_n my_o answer_n be_v that_o he_o accuse_v i_o false_o and_o say_v that_o i_o do_v acknowledge_v three_o subsistance_n in_o one_o divine_a essence_n in_o respect_n of_o their_o several_a operation_n then_o say_v he_o you_o deny_v the_o personality_n my_o answer_n be_v that_o i_o be_o not_o so_o low_a and_o carnal_a as_o to_o bring_v down_o a_o deity_n to_o a_o personality_n then_o justice_n nicolas_n cite_v that_o scripture_n in_o john_n there_o be_v three_o which_o bear_v record_n in_o heaven_n the_o father_n the_o

that_o christ_n be_v say_v in_o scripture_n to_o be_v the_o express_a image_n of_o his_o father_n person_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o that_o be_v speak_v touch_v his_o divinity_n and_o withal_o

then_o my_o accuser_n by_o way_n of_o aggravation_n tell_v i_o that_o i_o say_v that_o i_o can_v remove_v mountain_n my_o answer_n be_v that_o he_o know_v not_o what_o a_o mountain_n be_v then_o

nevertheless_o i_o have_v think_v good_a to_o give_v you_o a_o cautional_a hint_n of_o some_o special_a observation_n which_o i_o have_v take_v touch_v the_o several_a greevance_n of_o the_o people_n who_o lie_v under_o many_o grievous_a pressure_n and_o burden_n and_o expect_v relief_n and_o comfort_n from_o you_o which_o will_v be_v by_o prescribe_v wholesome_a law_n according_a to_o the_o present_a constitution_n of_o this_o nation_n and_o a_o due_a execution_n thereof_o as_o it_o be_v before_o the_o norman_a conquest_n for_o you_o know_v that_o the_o people_n have_v live_v under_o a_o kingly_a power_n many_o hundred_o year_n and_o have_v be_v hold_v in_o bondage_n and_o slavery_n ever_o since_o the_o conquest_n under_o those_o law_n which_o be_v prescribe_v by_o a_o usurper_n and_o have_v be_v still_o keep_v under_o the_o normand_n yoke_n by_o reason_n of_o a_o absolute_a arbitrary_a power_n domineer_a over_o they_o raise_v up_o by_o william_n the_o conquetor_n when_o he_o have_v subdue_v this_o nation_n by_o the_o sword_n then_o those_o who_o be_v his_o creature_n his_o favourit_n he_o create_v they_o to_o be_v lord_n of_o manor_n and_o so_o divide_v and_o distribute_v the_o land_n among_o themselves_o and_o the_o poor_a people_n to_o become_v tenant_n unto_o they_o and_o to_o pay_v a_o small_a rent_n at_o first_o to_o bring_v they_o under_o the_o yoke_n and_o so_o to_o acknowledge_v they_o to_o be_v their_o lord_n and_o master_n and_o hence_o come_v in_o that_o which_o we_o call_v propriety_n as_o derive_v from_o the_o norman_a conquest_n now_o after_o this_o these_o great_a lord_n of_o manor_n by_o marriage_n match_v their_o son_n and_o daughter_n together_o join_v house_n to_o house_n and_o land_n to_o land_n and_o so_o become_v great_a lord_n than_o
