SCRIPTURE MANIFESTATION of the Equalitty of the Father Sonne and Holy-Ghost Wherein is above an Hundred Particulars by parralell places of Scripture this truth is clearely confirmed NAMELY THAT THE Scriptures Manifest the Sonne and Holy Ghost to be God equall with the Father by ascribing to them such Names Attributes Works and Worship as are proper to God alone By BENIAMIN AUSTIN Pastor of the Church of God at Castle-Ashbey in Northamptonshire There are three that beare record in Heaven the Father the Word and the Holy-Ghost and these three are one 1 Joh. 5.7 Goe and teach all Nations baptizing them in the Name of the Father and of the Sonne and of the Holy-Ghost Mat. 28.19 Awake O Sword against my Shepheard and against the man that is my fellow saith the Lord of Hoasts Zac. 13.7 Christ Jesus who being in the forme of God thought it no robbery to be equall with God Phil. 2.5 6. LONDON Printed for P. W. and JOHN WRIGHT at the Kings Head in the Old-Baily 1650. To all those that love the Lord Jesus in Sincerity Brethren THE Beloved Disciple of the Lord telleth us 1 Joh. 2.18 That in his time there were many Antichrists Many that did seeme to professe Christ yet in truth did oppose him which in words would confesse him but in works would denye him Tit. 1.16 If the first Age of the Church could not escape the fuery of Satan and if those more pure times did not avoide the unbridled rage of his Antichristian Darlings we that live in the latter dayes which are the perillous times must not look to be free from Satans opposition nor hope to be exempted from the malice of his Antichristian Factours For the mystery of iniquity which was but hatching in the Apostles dayes is now grown to it 's full maturity it then began onely to worke 2 Thes 2.7 it is now acting with the efficacy of Satan with all power and signes and lying wonders 2 Thes 2.9 And however there are many Antichrists in the world yet according to Johns threefold discription of them we may worke them into three heads For they are such as deliver poysonous Doctrine not truly grounded on Gods Word and doe oppose first the Divine Nature of Christ secondly the Humane Nature of Christ thirdly the Offices of Christ First there are Antichrists who doe oppose the Divine Nature of Christ as Cerinthians Arrians Samo-Satenians Jews Turkes and in a word the Sarcinians whose Doctrine is as it were a filthy sinke into which al the Heresies of former and latter Ages have emptyed themselves These the Apostle John directly describeth 1 Joh. 2.22 23. He is Antichrist that denyeth the Father and the Sonne For although never any Antichristian Heretick did in words deny the first Person and however they may pretend with the blinded Jews and misled Turkes they doe honour the Creatour of the World yet by taking away that personall relation which he hath to the Sonne they deny him by consequence to be a Father and dishonour both the Father and the Sonne However therefore they would undeseemedly fasten on us the Name of Antichrist because we affirme the Lord Jesus in Nature and Essence to be equall with the Father whenas even the Father stileth him his fellow Zac. 13.7 and the Sonne who is in the forme of God thinketh it no robbery to be equall with God Phil. 2.7 who was the onely begotten Sonne of God Joh. 1.14 18. Joh. 3.16 18. 1 Joh. 4.9 and said that God was his proper Father Joh. 5. ●8 and he is said to be his proper Sonne Rom. 8.32 for the word translated own is 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 in the Originall yea he is the Sonne 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 of himself Rom. 8.3 And therefore the name and nature of Antichrist agreeth to them and not to us For they oppose the Father and the Sonne and by denying Christ to be the eternall Sonne of God they deny also God the Father to be a true and eternall Father Thus doe they robbe them both of their excellent glory making the one to be no proper Father of Ch●●st and the other to be no proper Sonne of God whom they blasphemously affirme to be a 〈…〉 Secondly they are Antichrists who deny the Humane Nature of Christ as Marcionites Valentinians Manichees and others They take away the benefit of his death and passion The Apostle doth more especially point at these 1 Joh. 4.3 and 2 John 7. where he sheweth him to be of an Antichristian Spirit that denyeth Jesus Christ to be come in the flesh Thirdly they are Antichrists who doe not oppose directly the person of Christ but by delivering Doctrine contrary to the Word doe oppose Christ in his three-fold Office First they depive Christ of his Kingly Office and make the Pope the Supreame and uncontroulable Head of the Church exalting him above all that is called God 2 Thes 2. namely above Angels Magistrates Divels which in Scripture are called Gods yea above God and Christ whenas they give power to him to prescribe Lawes which are more authentique to them then the Laws of God None being of power to dispence with his as he can and doth with Cods Lawes And they attribute such soveraignty to him as not onely to forgive sinnes on earth but to place or displace soules in Heaven or in Hell at his pleasure Secondly they take away the Propheticall Office of Christ For they in stead of teaching the Doctrine of Christ teach the Doctrine of the Devils 1 Tim. 4. Setting up Legens Councels Decreees Decretals Traditions and their corrupt glosses of the Text above the Scripture And with their Anagogicall Allegoricall and Tropicall interpretations of the Scriptures have quite taken away the true sense thereof Thirdly they divest Christ of his Priestly Office by Indulgencies Pardons Penances Pilgrimages Masses Dirges Purgatory workes of Supererogation and a thousand the like inventions have taken away the one al-sufficient Oblation and satisfaction of Christ All whose wearing service shall one day have no better reward then who required this at your hands yea that which in a word overthroweth all the Doctrine of Christ and was enough If Rome had stood guilty of no other errour to have made us to separate from her even her soule-destroying Doctrine of Justification by Workes For as the Apostle speaking of the Jewes told the true Church of Rome Rom. 10.3 They being Ignorant of Gods Righteousnesse and going about to establish their own Righteousnesse have not submitted themselves to the Righteousnesse of God These the Apostle John principally deciphereth in the Revelations Rev. 13. c. However these Antichrists are divided and doe crash one against another yet all doe fight against Christ and doe oppose his Church They being like Sampsons Foxes joyned together by the tailes with the fire of dissention betwixt them whereby they doe set on fire Gods dearely beloved Vin●yard And although Antichrist had alwayes a mouthfull of blasphemies yet never were
