A33370	A paradisical dialogue betwixt faith and reason disputing the high mysterious secrets of eternity, the like never extant in our revelation. As touching God in eternity, how he became time in flesh, and how he dyed in the grave, and ascended to his glory again. Also what the angels are in form and nature, and how the angel became a devil, and that devil man; and that this world was prepared for the devil, so this the devils kingdom; and what the soul is, with the place of its glory and torment. With a brief narration what a commission is, and how many commissions there are; what the difference of their worships, and how that the law was given to the devil; with a brief discourse on the catechism, the Lords Prayer, and the creeds; as also, a divine prospect to the elect of the Lord. Written by Law. Claxton, the onely true bishop and faithful messenger of Christ Jesus, creator of heaven and earth.	Claxton, Laurence, 1615-1667.	1660 (1660)	Wing C4581; ESTC R215220	88,691	122

create_v they_o of_o that_o dust_n without_o or_o above_o this_o visible_a heaven_n yea_o i_o say_v by_o his_o word_n speak_v unto_o that_o spiritual_a dust_n aforesaid_a there_o come_v forth_o a_o innumerable_a angelical_a host_n in_o person_n or_o form_n like_o man_n and_o not_o bodiless_a spirit_n as_o thy_o seed_n vain_o affirm_v and_o the_o nature_n of_o their_o angelical_a spirit_n be_v pure_a reason_n only_o reason_n and_o be_v the_o fall_v angel_n create_v of_o the_o same_o matter_n as_o the_o other_o be_v and_o have_v that_o angel_n the_o same_o form_n and_o nature_n as_o the_o

be_v create_v of_o the_o same_o matter_n and_o have_v the_o same_o form_n and_o nature_n yet_o be_v more_o wise_a or_o godlike_a in_o his_o creation_n than_o all_o the_o elect_a angel_n of_o glory_n i_o say_v why_o he_o can_v not_o stand_v with_o the_o rest_n be_v the_o creator_n foreknowing_a that_o his_o prerogative_n royal_a will_v compel_v or_o move_v he_o to_o create_v this_o angelical_a reprobate_n in_o reference_n to_o his_o divine_a justice_n so_o that_o for_o the_o manifestation_n of_o his_o most_o glorious_a power_n unto_o elect_a man_n and_o angel_n his_o wisdom_n see_v it_o most_o fit_a to_o endue_v this_o angel_n with_o more_o pierce_a rational_a wisdom_n and_o brightness_n of_o person_n than_o all_o his_o angelical_a companion_n and_o that_o because_o he_o be_v decree_v to_o the_o great_a shame_n and_o pain_n and_o not_o only_o so_o but_o because_o the_o elect_a angel_n shall_v admire_v their_o creator_n wisdom_n and_o power_n when_o they_o shall_v see_v the_o outcast_a condition_n of_o the_o high_a create_a glory_n and_o themselves_o be_v fill_v with_o new_a declaration_n of_o honour_n praise_n and_o glory_n unto_o the_o divine_a majesty_n for_o

in_o the_o plural_a and_o not_o the_o singular_a viz._n angel_n and_o not_o angel_n faith_n i_o infallible_o affirm_v there_o be_v but_o only_o one_o reprobate_a angel_n create_v at_o first_o for_o

be_v cast_v out_o of_o their_o spiritual_a peace_n with_o he_o so_o likewise_o there_o be_v but_o one_o angelical_a serpent_n cast_v from_o his_o rational_a create_a purity_n and_o that_o be_v the_o serpent-devil_n which_o deceive_v eve_n now_o the_o angel_n which_o be_v cast_v out_o with_o he_o be_v of_o his_o seed_n or_o generation_n through_o his_o union_n with_o the_o entrails_n of_o eve_n where_o he_o have_v this_o world_n prepare_v for_o he_o and_o his_o generation_n reason_n and_o be_v there_o no_o other_o way_n to_o manifest_v the_o greatness_n of_o his_o glory_n but_o by_o create_v a_o seed_n or_o generation_n against_o himself_o and_o his_o seed_n that_o so_o he_o may_v damn_v one_o and_o save_v the_o other_o or_o what_o prejudice_n have_v it_o be_v for_o his_o divine_a

way_n to_o manifest_v his_o divine_a excellency_n unto_o angel_n or_o man_n but_o what_o he_o have_v do_v if_o there_o have_v i_o be_o confident_a he_o will_v never_o have_v create_v any_o thing_n on_o purpose_n for_o eternal_a suffering_n and_o that_o the_o more_o thou_o may_v think_v the_o wise_a creator_n will_v never_o have_v suffer_v any_o creature_n to_o become_v rebellious_a against_o himself_o for_o the_o occasion_v of_o such_o strange_a transaction_n in_o this_o world_n and_o suffering_n both_o of_o himself_o angel_n and_o man_n i_o say_v if_o he_o can_v have_v possess_v his_o infinite_a glory_n in_o create_v of_o every_o thing_n unto_o eternal_a pleasure_n reason_n why_o who_o be_v beside_o himself_o that_o shall_v let_v or_o hinder_v what_o he_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o do_v but_o he_o may_v form_v all_o of_o the_o nature_n of_o himself_o as_o aforesaid_a faith_n it_o be_v true_a though_o there_o be_v none_o beside_o himself_o yet_o i_o say_v that_o the_o creator_n royal_a will_n and_o pleasure_n be_v that_o glorious_a wheel_n that_o move_v he_o to_o create_v or_o form_v any_o creature_n at_o all_o and_o sure_o i_o be_o it_o be_v unpossible_a for_o god_n to_o create_v the_o spirit_n of_o angel_n and_o man_n to_o be_v both_o of_o the_o nature_n of_o his_o own_o spirit_n or_o either_o of_o they_o to_o be_v of_o his_o divine_a nature_n then_o will_v the_o variety_n of_o his_o wisdom_n power_n and_o glory_n be_v all_o lose_a for_o want_v of_o distinction_n moreover_o if_o angel_n and_o man_n have_v be_v both_o of_o god_n divine_a nature_n in_o their_o creation_n then_o in_o stead_n of_o their_o be_v capable_a to_o be_v transmute_v into_o a_o high_a or_o low_a condition_n at_o the_o divine_a pleasure_n of_o the_o creator_n will_v they_o not_o rather_o have_v be_v unchangeable_a creator_n then_o changeable_a creature_n therefore_o that_o god_n may_v impede_fw-la all_o that_o may_v prevent_v his_o divine_a purpose_n he_o create_v the_o

that_o if_o their_o spirit_n and_o body_n have_v both_o be_v of_o the_o divine_a nature_n than_o it_o have_v be_v unpossible_a for_o they_o to_o change_v or_o commit_v any_o evil_n no_o more_o than_o

themselves_o to_o be_v but_o creature_n yea_o subject_n to_o the_o divine_a pleasure_n of_o god_n that_o make_v they_o reason_n i_o all_o along_o judge_v god_n nature_n to_o be_v pure_a reason_n and_o

have_v judge_v of_o god_n nature_n thou_o be_v altogether_o mistake_v for_o the_o nature_n of_o god_n be_v all-divine_a heavenly_a faith_n and_o therefore_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o angel_n be_v and_o be_v of_o a_o contrary_a seed_n subject_n to_o mutability_n for_o the_o angel_n spirit_n be_v pure_a reason_n only_o and_o what_o be_v the_o pure_a reason_n be_v it_o any_o thing_n else_o but_o all_o pure_a desire_n and_o what_o be_v the_o original_n of_o the_o most_o pure_a and_o perfect_v desire_v be_v it_o not_o a_o want_n of_o something_o that_o be_v desire_v or_o a_o kind_n of_o

reason_n see_v the_o serpent_n before_o he_o tempt_v eve_n be_v call_v a_o tree_n of_o knowledge_n of_o good_a and_o evil_a sure_o than_o that_o good_a be_v not_o curse_v but_o the_o evil_a only_o and_o on_o the_o contrary_a eve_n partake_v in_o her_o womb_n of_o the_o evil_a seed_n must_v be_v evil_a also_o faith_n though_o the_o angel_n have_v be_v a_o tree_n in_o his_o first_o estate_n which_o know_v nothing_o but_o good_a before_o eve_n or_o adam_n have_v any_o sensible_a being_n yet_o be_v fall_v from_o his_o create_a purity_n he_o be_v become_v a_o tree_n of_o sin_n or_o evil_n

make_v a_o good_a tree_n again_o yea_o a_o tree_n of_o more_o transcendent_a glory_n than_o she_o be_v before_o reason_n by_o this_o i_o understand_v that_o the_o seed_n of_o the_o woman_n and_o the_o seed_n of_o the_o angel_n be_v two_o contrary_a seed_n then_o tell_v i_o whether_o the_o seed_n of_o the_o woman_n be_v before_o or_o in_o his_o fall_n and_o the_o seed_n of_o the_o woman_n bless_v

corrupt_a tree_n bring_v forth_o good_a fruit_n therefore_o by_o their_o fruit_n they_o be_v know_v so_o that_o the_o serpent_n angelical_a tree_n be_v reprobate_a to_o all_o manner_n of_o evil_n therefore_o he_o and_o his_o seed_n of_o man_n and_o woman_n be_v not_o only_o curse_v in_o the_o womb_n of_o eve_n but_o also_o before_o the_o world_n be_v but_o on_o the_o contrary_a innocent_a

before_o the_o create_v of_o this_o world_n reason_n however_o thou_o seem_v to_o prove_v that_o it_o be_v no_o natural_a tree_n so_o no_o natural_a apple_n then_o what_o do_v thou_o say_v to_o those_o say_n where_o he_o be_v call_v a_o serpent_n and_o curse_a above_o all_o cattle_n 3._o gen._n 3._o and_o every_o beast_n of_o the_o field_n upon_o thy_o belly_n shall_v thou_o go_v and_o
