sayest it is a working Faith and if it were not so it must needs be a dead Faith And the Apostle Paul speaks not of a bare believing excluding its operative Nature no more then the Apostle James doth of Works excluding believing but both agree that Justification is by a living working Faith When the Apostle excludeth Works from Justification he excludeth them only under the Notion or Conceit of Merit in which Sense the Jews urged the Necessity of them in that Business There is no Opposition between Grace and Works but a clear Consistency except or unless by Works we understand Merit And to say it receives no Efficacy from its being accompanied with Works is little less in plain English then to say if it did not work it would be as efficacious to Justification which is both contrary to Scripture and this received Doctrine viz. Where Christ removes the Guilt of Sin he also removes the Filth of Sin Justification and Sanctification being inseparable Companions and Justification is never without Sanctification for no Persons are the Subjects of Gospel Justification as ungodly or as in their sins but as being sanctified and the Filth of Sin removed so then justified not in Sin but in the Truth and Righteousness of Christ they being washed c. according to 1 Cor. 6.11 And such were some of you but ye are washed but ye are sanctified but ye are justified in the Name of the Lord Jesus and BY THE SPIRIT of our God according to this Maxim that without Likeness of Disposition there can be no Likeing of each other Haworth Enough if thou wast real in thy Expressions p. 29. c. Crook That the Reader may bear witness to W. H's Acknowledgment that what I have said is enough I shall set down my Words and abide by them to save further dispute about this Point viz. I know and believe Salvation by the imputed reckoned and real everlasting Righteousness of Jesus Christ brought nigh Which Confession of mine he acknowledgeth to be enough if real c. Haworth I had thought that Faith had been the Substance of things hoped for that by Faith Christ dwelt in our Hearts p. 30. c. Crook This he speaks of the imputed Righteousness of Christ brought nigh which is a large Confession to the Inherentness or Indwelling of Christ and consequently his Righteousness in the Hearts of true Believers and that which he calls the Substance of things hoped for he saith is in their Hearts also Now if all these things be so nigh what is the Cause that W. H. and I are so far assunder Haworth This is true plainly understood as spoken pag. 31. c. Crook These are my Words he confesseth unto speaking of the Imputed Righteousness of Christ which in the Fulness of time was manifest in and by him and in due time made mine by the Work and Application of his Spirit in my Inward Parts This is true saith W. H. So that I need take no further Notice of his Cavils against it seeing he hath so fully confessed to the Truth of it Haworth If this Him was to be understood of the true Christ we need not one Word further p. 32. c. Crook My Words are viz And God is well pleased or satisfied in and with Him in whom I am accepted c. Now I do declare it is the true Christ that I intended by Him so that it is needless for me to reply one Word further as himself confesseth Haworth Christ of himself and his Merit is not sufficient unless something wrought by the Light in us doth joyn its Merit with him pag. 33. c. Crook This is scoffingly spoken in Contempt not only of what I have said but also of the Works of the Spirit as appears by his own Words viz. Thou wouldst have the Works that are wrought by the Spirit have some Share in Acceptation What would this man say if he durst speak plainly as if the Spirit in its working did lessen the worth and sufficiency of Christ or as if W. H. contemned that Ancient Orthodox Saying viz. It is not propter but secundum i. e. We are accepted not for nor yet without where there is a Capacity but according to GOOD WORKS But this man would make the works of the Spirit and the work of Christ to be like Israel and Amalek No Acceptation of an Israelite by the Merit of Christ unless the Works of the Spirit like the Name of Amalek be quite blotted out from having any thing to do with it Haworth What the Lord doth is really done c. Crook I Oppose Reallity to thy Imagination not to any Act of God for in the New Creation as well as the Old God saith Let it be so and it is so But I am jealous thou and others imagine that to be so which is not so in this great Case Therefore do not deceive thy self and others by calling the strength of Imagination Reality and a confident Presumption a Living Faith Haworth But indeed this Righteousness is not at a Distance from us but put upon us by the Father's Gift Ye have put on Christ Gal. 3.27 It is the best Robe put upon us c. And all that Righteousness that is within us of Sanctification is but the Fruit of this it was merited and purchased for us by this p. 34 c. Crook I have spoken to this Subject under Title Contradiction and Confusion The Words he so wars against are these viz. Thou believest to be saved by a Righteousness wholely without thee Reckoned but not Real which Righteousness Christ wrought One Thousand Six Hundred Years since not that we undervalue that Righteousness nay cursed is he that so doth really no nearer to thee then the Place where he personally lived and dyed Now I desire the Reader to consider if his Proof consutes this viz. Gal. 3.27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ this is that Righteousness that is imputed to us and procures the Discharge from our Sins or Debts by W. Haworth's own Acknowledgement This being Baptized into Christ is explained by the same Apostle Rom. 6.3,4,5,6 Know ye not that so many of us as were baptized into Christ were baptized into his Death therefore we are buryed with him by baptism into Death that like as Christ was raised from the Dead by the Glory of the Father even so we also should walk in Newness of Life for if we have been planted together in the Likeness of his Death we shall be also in the Likeness of his Resurrection knowing this that our Old Man is crucified with him that the Body of Sin might be destroyed that henceforth we should not serve Sin And this Phrase We have put on Christ is also expounded by the same Apostle Rom. 13.12,13,14 And let us put on the Armour of Light so that we walk honestly as in the Day time not in Gluttonny and Drunkenness neither in

THE Counterfeit Convert DISCOVERED OR William Haworth's Book entituled The Quaker converted to Christianity re-established Refuted Wherein his absurd Assertion viz. That our own Righteousness consists in the Gifts and Vertues which the Spirit of God works in our Minds c. is manifested The Doctrine of Justification by a Righteousness wholly without us Examined His several Arguments to prove the first Risings in the Heart to Evil to be the Sins of Unconsenting Persons Answered And his several Scoffs Falsehoods Slanders Contradictions and Confusions in the said Book Represented By John Crook and William Bayley Also an Answer to the Postscript at the End of William Haworth's wicked pamphlet called An Antidote c By C. T. Rabanus on Job 33.4 Quantum est periculis his qui scripturas sensu corporeo legunt i. e. In what Danger are they that read the Scriptures in a carnal Sense Luther on Gal. 2.16 Christ apprehended by Faith and dwelling in us is our Righteousness for which we are justified or reputed Just To whom shall I speak and give Warning that they may hear behold their Ear is uncircumcised and they cannot hearken behold the Word of the Lord is unto them a Reproach they have no Delight in it Jer. 6.10 They have healed the hurt of the Daughter of my People slightly saying Peace Peace when there is no Peace Jer. 6.14 TO THE READER AS the fining Pot for Silver saith Solomon so is a Man to his Praise but as a wash-pot to the Filth so is an evil Man to his Shame William Haworth's Book of twenty four Sheets is as this wash-pot which is filled with the Filth of Scoffs Slanders Falshoods Contradictions and Confusions as by this Rejoynder is made manifest Unhappy Man that is a Ham to himself and a Judas to that Truth which once he tasted For rebuking his Rebellion and reproving his hard Language he hath fallen upon me as the Men of Sodom did upon righteous Lot for seeking to stop and turn him as the just Man did his Neighbours from the Way of their Wickedness But he being impatient of all Admonition for that Cause hath abusively called we Knave Jugler Cheat Mountebank c. as the Sodomites pressed sore upon the Man even Lot But as one saith when Men are resolved to walk in the Sparks of their own kindling and shall not only reject but vilifie and scorn the Admonitions of the Almighty by what Hand soever administred it is a Sign that Destruction is coming upon them like an armed Man and it is said of Hophni and Phyneas the Priests That they hearkened not to the Voice of their Father because the Lord would slay them But my Adversary reads and understands the Scriptures as some Men do Acts of Oblivion and general Pardon who are apt to conclude all are pardoned and there is no Danger now of being called in Question c. But the more considerate Reader diligently searches and peruseth the Exceptions and Conditions of such Discharges lest they should both deceive themselves and those that are apt to be too credulous of such Reports I was willing his Book should have dyed of it self not expecting my Silence would have been interrupted as I find it is 1 st Because it is so confused and void of Method as well as Matter 2 dly Because it 's hard to be distinguished whose Words they are mine or his being oft times both in the same Charaster whether out of Ignorance or Design let the Reader judge 3 dly There is nothing new in it but what hath been answered over and over though mannaged by abler Adversaries then W. Haworth But being of late informed of a 3 d and 4 th Book of his which since I hear are both answered by others where he seems to boast that he hath one whole Book which lyes at our Doors unanswered and further saith Let them reply if they will or dare all which I could have passed by knowing the Temper of the Man but for the sake of some that are apt to value Men beyond their Worth and then to have their Faith with Respect to those mens Persons and others that intend well but are so frighted by great Words and hardned Confidence that they dare not trust their own Experience and also being importaned thereunto upon William Haworth's persisting in his clamorous Abuses I have at last made publick this Rejoynder which hath been prepared and layn by me above a Years Time Our Book called Rebellion rebuked contain'd between six and seven Sheets about ten Moneths after the Publication of ours comes forth W. Haworth's Reply to it of twenty four Sheets which according to his Multiplication of Time and Paper our Rejoynder should be about eighty Sheets of Paper and we three full Years about it But knowing much better how to spend our Time I have though briefly replyed to most of the Pages of the first Part under these three Heads viz. 1 Title Rejoynder 2 Scoffs and Scorns 3. Contradictions and Confusions under some of these Heads the Reader may find whatever seems to have Weight in it My Purpose is not by Epistle much longer to detain the Reader William Haworth began to cast the first Stone and persues that Work like those that winked with their Eyes and ran upon Steven whom nothing could appease but that Martyr's Blood My Delight is not in Contention but in Peace but when men Gehazi-like will rise up against the Spirit of their Master whom they pretend to serve saying as he did My Master hath spared Naaman this Syrian but as the Lord liveth I will run after him and take somewhat of him c. we cannot but reprove them as Elisha did for as the precious Sons of Sion are comparable to fine Gold so the Scripture also affirms God shall cast away the wicked as Dross and further saith Reprobate Silver shall men call them I desire the Reader in his Perusal of this Reply to observe the Particulars following 1. That although I have made Use of some few Quotations out of our own Country-men yet I do not say but they differed from us in some other Things 2. When thou shalt find the Antecedency or Precedency of the Spirit of God pleaded for it is not intended in Opposition or Contempt of the holy Scriptures but as that which must be first received and relyed upon to give the true and right Understanding of them 3. When thou readest me pleading for the Light of Christ in every man it is not to advance ny natural Ability without this supernatural Aid but that Obedience may be yielded to the Requirings of this Light whereby it doth prove its own Sufficiency in discovering and contradicting Self in Man that by the daily Denyal thereof we may become the Disciples of Christ 4. When my Adversary cites Scriptures for to oppose Justification to Sanctification or to plead for Justification without VVorks of Sanctification and I gainsay him herein it is because the Scriptures in that
