THE Christian Faith Of the People of GOD called in Scorn QUAKERS In Rhode-Island who are in Unity with all faithfull Brethren of the same Profession in all parts of the World VINDICATED From the Calumnies of Christian Lodowick that formerly was of that Profession but is lately fallen there-from As also from the base Forgeries and wicked Slanders of Cotton Mather called a Minister at Boston who hath greatly commended the said Christian Lodowick and approved his false Charges against us and hath added thereunto many gross impudent and vile Calumnies against us and our Brethren in his late Address so called to some in New-England the which in due time may receive a mo●e full answer to discover his Ignorance Prejudice and Perversion against our Friends in general and G. K. in particular whom he hath most unworthily abused To which is added some Testimonies of our Antient Friends to the true Christ of God Collected out of their printed Books for the further Convincing of our Opposers that it is and hath been our constant and firm Belief to expect Salvation by the Man Christ Jesus that was outwardly crucified without the Gates of Jerusalem Printed and Sold by William Bradford at Philadelphia in Pennsylvania in the Year 1692. Our Sincere Christian Belief is plainly asserted in the following Particulars viz. 1. Concerning Jesus of Nazareth the true Christ of God as he is True and Perfect God and True Perfect Man 2. Concerning his Conception Birth Life Death and Sufferings Resurrection Ascention Intercession and Coming again and Appearance to Judge the Quick and the Dead at the Day of Judgment in his glorified Body And the Resurrection of the Dead at what Time attained 3. Concerning his being a most acceptible Offering and Sacrifice to God for the sins of the whole World 4. Concerning the True Faith in Christ how it respecteth him both as without us in the Fullness and as within us in the Measure whole undivided being one Lord Jesus Christ 5. Concerning the Distinction betwixt the devout Gentile and Christian and how the Christian Dispensation far excelleth that of either Jews or Gentiles and the Dignity of Christianity above the most Refined and Devout Gentilism 6. Concerning a twofold inward Ministration of the Light and Spirit of God and Christ and the state of Servants and Sons 7. Concerning the great Benefit of the holy Scriptures and how they are made Instrumental to our Christian Faith and Knowledge 8. And lastly Concerning the Possibility of the Salvation of Honest and Conscientious Gentiles by Jesus Christ. The Christian Faith of the People of God called Quakers Vindicated from the Calumnies of Christian Lodowick WHereas Christian Lodowick hath given forth several Papers Challenging all these belonging to Newport Meeting who speak in the Meetings of the People called Quakers and that within these few dayes past he hath renewed his Challenge accusing the Fo●ndation of their Gospel Faith Doctrine and Religion to be unscriptural false and naught shaken and Sandy and challanging them to appoint one of their Number to dispute with him These are to give Notice to all sober People and Neighbours that these so challenged by him having taken his Challenge into consideration and finding many things in it falsly and perversly stated which they could not own so stated by him to be the Foundation of their Faith c. did meet with him at the House of Walter Clark in Newport in Rhode-Island the 18th of the 4th Month 1691. in order to have things fairly stated that if any did dispute with him they might know before hand what he was to dispute against but they could not procure him to allow of this but after that some of the things charged by him in his Papers began to be discoursed of in order to a fair and right stating of them he would not hear of it but went away And whereas divers of us challenged by him declared sincerely before many People there assembled on the said day their sincere Faith as concerning the Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth and what the holy Scriptures testifie of him yet he did continue to accuse them still as Denying the True Christ alledging they had another S●nce than the Scripture words did bear and that his Sence was True but their Sence was False appealing to their Consciences whether it was not so Thus making himself Judge over our secret Thoughts as having a secret sence in our Thoughts of Scripture words contrary to the true sence of them though we have not given him o● any other occasion to judge so rashly and uncharitably of us and our Consciences bear us witness in the sight of God that we do sincerely believe and think as we speak when we say according to the holy Scripture That Jesus of Nazareth is the true Christ of God and the only true Saviour and there is no other Name given under Heaven whereby men must be saved and that this same Jesus was in fullness of Time born of the Virgin called Mary being conceived of the holy Ghost who dyed for our sins and rose again for our Justification and by his Death on the Tree of the Cross was a most acceptable Offering and Sacrifice to God for the sins of the whole World having tasted Death for every m●n and given himself a Ransom for all And we believe that Christ was God manifest in the Flesh even in that Body of Flesh in which he did suffer Death on the Cross and that the fullness of the Godhead dwelt Bodily in him and doth still dwell Bodily in him and that of his Fullness we all receive and Grace for Grace And we also believe according to holy Scripture that Christ's Body that was crucified on the Tree of the Cross was raised again on the third day and after forty dayes did ascend into Heaven in the sight of the Disciples and who is exalted at the right Hand of God and ever liveth to make Intercession for us and that Christ hath his Body in Heaven a most glorious Body not changed in Being or Substance but in Condition Manner of Being and that Christ is true and perfect God and true and perfect Man the Son of God begotten of God from Everlasting glorified with the Father before the World began and also begotten of God in the Womb of the Virgin called Mary and born of her in the fullness of time the Son of Abraham the Son of David who took not on him the Nature of A●gels but the Seed of A●raham and which he still hath and that Christ as Man hath both Soul and Body and his Manhood is most excellently and ●o●de●fully United with h●s Godhead yet his Manhood is not his Godhead no● is his Body that he had of the Virgin and now ha●h in Heaven his Godhead but the Temple of it as Christ called his Body the Temple and is the Garment or Cloathing wherewith the Eternal Word did cloathe himself who is that New and living Way
