A47167	A refutation of three opposers of truth by plain evidence of the holy Scripture, viz. I. Of Pardon Tillinghast, who pleadeth for water-baptism, its being a Gospel-precept, and opposeth Christ within, as a false Christ. To which is added, something concerning the Supper, &c. II. Of B. Keech, in his book called, A tutor for children, where he disputeth against the sufficiency of the light within, in order of salvation; and calleth Christ in the heart, a false Christ in the secret chamber. II. Of Cotton Mather, who in his appendix to his book, called, Memorable providences, relating to witchcrafts, &c. doth so weakly defend his father Increase Mather from being justly chargeable with abusing the honest people called Quakers, that he doth the more lay open his fathers nakedness; and beside the abuses and injuries that his father had cast upon that people, C. Mather, the son, addeth new abuses of his own. And a few words of a letter to John Cotton, called a minister, at Plymouth in New England. By George Keith.

harmony_n with_o the_o outward_a mean_n of_o their_o instruction_n 3_o dly_z the_o apostle_n paul_n do_v plain_o declare_v that_o the_o gentile_n who_o do_v the_o thing_n contain_v in_o the_o law_n

and_o raise_v again_o until_o peter_n preach_v christ_n unto_o he_o and_o therefore_o a_o man_n may_v be_v accept_v of_o god_n in_o christ_n and_o for_o christ_n sake_n in_o some_o respect_n and_o

can_v it_o fail_v in_o any_o respect_n and_o be_v insufficient_a he_o answer_v first_o the_o law_n give_v to_o israel_n be_v a_o ministration_n of_o god_n and_o yet_o it_o can_v not_o give_v life_n but_o this_o be_v easy_o answer_v for_o god_n give_v not_o the_o law_n to_o israel_n only_o for_o that_o end_n to_o condemn_v they_o and_o send_v all_o &_o every_o one_o of_o they_o to_o hell_n but_o to_o be_v a_o schoolmaster_n to_o lead_v unto_o christ_n and_o therefore_o together_o with_o the_o law_n of_o the_o first_o covenant_n he_o give_v they_o the_o levitical_a law_n of_o sacrifice_n and_o many_o other_o type_n which_o have_v some_o real_a ministration_n in_o it_o of_o the_o new_a covenant_n though_o obscure_a yet_o such_o as_o serve_v for_o that_o time_n but_o according_a to_o b._n

as_o crucify_v etc._n etc._n be_v all_o send_v to_o hell_n and_o the_o light_n in_o they_o though_o a_o ministration_n give_v they_o of_o god_n have_v no_o other_o end_n but_o to_o condemn_v they_o and_o make_v they_o guilty_a of_o hell_n fire_n and_o that_o forever_o which_o be_v a_o most_o injurious_a reflection_n upon_o both_o the_o justice_n and_o mercy_n of_o god_n second_o he_o say_v every_o light_n and_o ministration_n of_o god_n serve_v for_o the_o end_n time_n and_o purpose_n it_o be_v appoint_v and_o ordain_v this_o say_v be_v very_o true_a but_o very_o bad_o apply_v as_o if_o that_o light_n and_o ministration_n of_o god_n in_o the_o gentile_n be_v only_o give_v to_o make_v they_o guilty_a of_o eternal_a damnation_n but_o have_v not_o the_o least_o service_n use_n or_o tendency_n to_o the_o least_o beginning_n of_o their_o salvation_n which_o be_v a_o horrible_a reflection_n upon_o god_n as_o represent_v he_o altogether_o cruel_a and_o unmerciful_a worse_o than_o most_o man_n and_o therefore_o be_v a_o blasphemous_a assertion_n in_o the_o next_o place_n he_o undertake_v to_o prove_v that_o the_o light_n in_o every_o man_n be_v not_o god_n nor_o christ_n nor_o the_o holy_a spirit_n first_o he_o prove_v that_o the_o light_n in_o man_n be_v not_o god_n because_o though_o all_o light_n do_v come_v from_o god_n yet_o all_o light_n be_v not_o god_n ay_o answ._n and_o who_o say_v all_o light_n be_v god_n but_o because_o all_o light_n be_v not_o god_n it_o do_v not_o therefore_o follow_v that_o god_n be_v not_o light_n no_o more_o than_o it_o do_v follow_v that_o because_o all_o spirit_n be_v not_o god_n therefore_o god_n be_v not_o a_o spirit_n but_o see_v he_o confess_v this_o light_n flow_v from_o god_n it_o do_v necessary_o follow_v that_o god_n himself_o be_v present_a with_o and_o in_o this_o light_n for_o god_n can_v be_v local_o separate_v from_o any_o thing_n or_o be_v that_o proceed_v from_o he_o otherwise_o he_o be_v not_o omnipresent_v and_o the_o name_n light_n do_v as_o proper_o belong_v to_o god_n as_o the_o name_n spirit_n for_o as_o the_o scripture_n say_v god_n be_v a_o spirit_n so_o it_o say_v god_n be_v light_n nor_o be_v his_o argument_n any_o more_o valid_a to_o prove_v that_o christ_n be_v not_o light_a in_o man_n because_o christ_n signify_v anoint_v and_o only_o the_o man_n christ_n be_v god_n anoint_a i_o answer_v thus_o we_o see_v how_o b._n k._n act_v the_o socinian_n like_o his_o brother_n p._n t_o for_o if_o christ_n be_v only_o and_o whole_o restrict_v to_o christ_n outward_a person_n as_o

all_o the_o faithful_a in_o all_o age_n be_v partaker_n of_o christ_n and_o he_o live_v in_o they_o as_o well_o as_o in_o paul_n and_o that_o christ_n be_v anoint_v from_o the_o beginning_n before_o

that_o the_o spirit_n be_v not_o in_o they_o to_o reprove_v and_o convince_v they_o and_o also_o to_o call_v invite_v and_o move_v they_o to_o repentance_n otherwise_o man_n can_v not_o be_v say_v
