A96990	A vindication of W.P. from the erronious [sic] and false testimony of Thomas Budd: being in answer to a sheet of his, entituled, A testimony for truth, against error. / By Joseph Wyeth.	Wyeth, Joseph, 1663-1731.	1697 (1697)	Wing W3763; ESTC R186899	10,261	29

Text is concerned in the Resurrection of Man's Carnal Body at all I will Recite it with the five following Verses as they lye in our English Translation It is sown a Natural Body it is raised a Spiritual Body there is a Natural Body and there is a Spiritual Body and so it is written The first Man Adam was made a Living Soul the last Adam was made a Quickning Spirit howbeit that was not first which was Spiritual but that which is Natural and afterward that which is Spiritual the first Man is of the Earth Earthy the second Adam is the Lord from Heaven as is the Earthy so are they that are Earthy and as is the Heavenly so are they also which are Heavenly and as we have born the Image of the Earthy we shall also bear the Image of the Heavenly Verse 44 45 46 47 48 49. I say this doth not concern the Resurrection of Carnal Bodies but the two States of Men under the First and Second Adam Men are Sown into the World Natural and so they are the Sons of the First Adam but they are Raised Spiritually through him who is the Resurrection and the Life and so they are the Sons of the Second Adam the Lord from Heaven the Quickning Spirit The very words of the Apostle undeniably prove this to be the Scope how else could the First Adam 's being made a Living Soul and the Second Adam a Quickning Spirit be a Pertinent Instance to prove Natural and Spiritual Bodies upon which follows that the Natural was First that is the First Adam and then that which is Spiritual which is the Second Adam the Quickning Spirit the Lord from Heaven who came to raise up the Sons of the First Adam from their Dead to his Living their Natural to his Spiritual State Having now given the Paragraphs intire out of which T. Budd had pickt his Quotation and which does sufficiently Confute the wrong Suggestions thereof I may not well omit to take some little notice of his Reply to the above Quotation It is thus Therefore let P. W. know c. he has forgot to place the Letters right I can assure T. Budd that W. P. does know and believe the good Doctrine of Christ's Crucifixion and the advantages of a true Christian upon it and I can also assure T. Budd that I look upon him no more Cordial an Adviser to W. P. than Satan was to our Saviour when he repeated the Text to him And he hath given his Angels Charge over thee c. T. Budd hath done with Advising and now Threatens And if he thinks to stop our Testimony c. And I do tell T. Budd that if he thinks to go on without Opposition in Forgery and Wresting then I think he will find himself mistaken since we have Solomon's advice for to use the Rod And indeed the Night is so far spent and the Day so dawned as sufficiently discovers where to apply it But now T. Budd would appear one that can Calculate Mysteries and point at a Beast by its number but if he will take the Numerical Letters of his own Name he will find he makes up Three times that Beast and Seven to spare As for what he Promises for the Year 1700 and 1750 I can without such Calculation tell him That let the freedom of the Upright-hearted and Faithful towards God be as in his Divine Wisdom he shall see meet yet T. Budd with all that Apostatize from the Spirit of Christ and turn their backs upon his Holy Law will still be in severest Bondage I now come to his last Charge against W. P. which is That he hath Vndervalued the Scriptures The Book T. Budd quotes is Christian Quaker p. 144. 142. I am not to account for his Folly in Postponeing the bigger number his Quotation is thus Christ left nothing in Writing as the Rule that we hear of and doubtless had he intended the Rule of his Followers to have been a Written Rule he would have left it upon Record with all Punctuality this must be believed and that done on pain of Eternal Death If the Scriptures were the Rule of Faith and Life c. then because they cannot be the Rule in their Translations suppose the Ancient Copies were exact it cannot be the Rule to far the greatest part of Mankind indeed to none but Learned Men. In this part of the Book G. W. and W. P. come to speak concerning the Scriptures which were asserted to them to be a General and Perfect Rule of Faith and Life viz. to all Men they have divers Arguments to shew the contrary their Eighth Argument lies thus 8. Furthermore if the Scriptures were the Rule of Faith and Life c. then because they cannot be the Rule in their Translations suppose the Antient Copies were exact it cannot be the Rule to far the greatest part of Mankind indeed to none but Learned Men which neither answers the Promise relating to Gospel times that is Vniversal nor the necessity of all Mankind for a Rule of Faith and Life Here he cut off the conclusion of this Argument In p. 144. There is another Objection thus But if the Law engraven and delivered to Moses was a Rule to the Jews why should not the Law delivered by Christ and written by his Apostles be the Rule to Christians To this it is Answered Answ Christ left nothing in Writing as the Rule that we hear of and it is not to be thought he was less Faithful in his House than Moses This last Sentence T. Budd cut out and doubtless had he intended the Rule of his Followers to have been a Written Rule he would have left it upon Record with all Punctuality This must be believed and that done on pain of Eternal Death what follows T. Budd has cut off Nor did his followers Write in the Method of a Rule as the Law was Written nor did they so Call or Recommend what they Writ Having now done with all the False Charges of T. Budd upon W. P. and put the several Quotations in their true Light from whence the Unprejudiced Reader may make a Solid Judgment of them I shall in few words bespeak the Readers Patience while I more particularly speak concerning this T. Budd who was in Unity of Profession with W. P. divers Years after all the Books afore-cited by him were VVritten and in which he now pretends to find such Errors and Heresies and I doubt not was acquainted with all or a great part of them But now like Eve his Eyes being opened he is become a Man of Gath one who gives Information to all as himself says who seek after Truth and Righteousness but which I am sure is not to be found in this his Testimony nor in any Testimony that ever was given forth by the Spirit of Apostacy in which he is He calls himself A Servant of Christ To this his Claim it may be proper to ask him the Question which was put to the Man in the Gospel Friend how camest thou hither It is but a few Years since he made publick Profession of what he now calls Errors and Heresies and the distance is very great betwixt the Erronious and Heretick and him who is truly a Servant of Christ and we have not seen any marks of Repentance and Recantation in order to this his pretended Restoration and it is not to be allowed in the Nature and Order of Conversion for a Man who hath through Ignorance embraced Error and through the viciousness of his VVill followed Heresie to become reallya Servant of Christ and a True Member of a Christian Society without deep Sorrow hearty Repentance and great Acknowledgments of God's Goodness and his own former Vileness and Ignorance of all which we have heard nothing but have often heard that like the Pharisee he is crying out I am more Righteous than thou from whence I conclude he is at great distance from a true Possession of this Claim I shall now honest Reader give thee a Dismiss only desiring that the Quotations truly made may be to thy Edification as the Detection of T. Budd's Fraud will be I hope to thy Satisfaction THE END
