A87653	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 more 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.

light_n thereof_o unto_o all_o man_n who_o at_o some_o time_n or_o other_o do_v feel_v something_o in_o their_o heart_n and_o conscience_n that_o do_v lust_n against_o the_o flesh_n and_o the_o flesh_n against_o it_o and_o that_o these_o two_o be_v contrary_a the_o one_o to_o the_o other_o one_o lust_a after_n evil_a which_o be_v evil_a and_o the_o other_o after_o good_a which_o be_v good_a two_o we_o believe_v by_o this_o gift_n grace_n and_o inspiration_n of_o the_o almighty_a man_n only_o can_v come_v to_o know_v the_o true_a god_n true_o what_o he_o be_v and_o how_o he_o work_v in_o the_o heart_n and_o conscience_n of_o people_n to_o regenerate_v they_o and_o make_v they_o bear_v his_o image_n 3._o we_o believe_v that_o all_o the_o error_n and_o mistake_v about_o god_n and_o the_o thing_n relate_v to_o his_o kingdom_n spring_v and_o arise_v from_o man_n wander_v from_o this_o gift_n of_o god_n into_o their_o own_o imagination_n 4._o we_o believe_v and_o know_v that_o this_o gift_n and_o grace_n of_o god_n appear_v in_o and_o unto_o all_o man_n that_o all_o may_v be_v without_o excuse_n accuse_v for_o the_o evil_a and_o excuse_v for_o the_o good_a rom._n 2.15_o 5._o we_o believe_v that_o wheresoever_o the_o power_n of_o god_n be_v not_o know_v within_o there_o the_o gospel_n be_v hide_v and_o unknown_a 6._o through_o this_o gift_n we_o believe_v that_o christ_n jesus_n the_o son_n of_o god_n be_v manifest_a in_o the_o flesh_n in_o the_o fullness_n of_o time_n and_o this_o we_o know_v by_o the_o same_o spirit_n by_o which_o our_o father_n believe_v he_o shall_v come_v and_o abraham_n see_v his_o day_n by_o the_o same_o we_o do_v believe_v he_o be_v come_v and_o do_v see_v his_o day_n as_o also_o by_o the_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n write_n which_o twosold_a cord_n be_v not_o easy_o break_v 7._o we_o believe_v also_o that_o this_o same_o jesus_n have_v god_n high_o exalt_v and_o give_v he_o a_o name_n above_o every_o name_n that_o whosoever_o believe_v on_o he_o shall_v not_o perish_v but_o have_v everlasting_a life_n and_o that_o there_o be_v not_o another_o name_n whereby_o any_o can_v be_v save_v than_o this_o name_n of_o jesus_n christ_n nor_o be_v remission_n of_o sin_n to_o be_v preach_v by_o any_o other_o name_n 8._o we_o believe_v that_o this_o jesus_n dye_v for_o or_o because_o of_o sin_n and_o rise_v again_o for_o the_o justification_n of_o those_o that_o believe_v in_o he_o and_o that_o he_o thereby_o spoil_v principality_n and_o power_n and_o triumph_v over_o they_o open_o and_o lead_v captivity_n captive_a in_o his_o own_o person_n it_o be_v not_o a_o belief_n from_o the_o letter_n only_o that_o can_v give_v a_o man_n the_o save_a knowledge_n of_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n but_o he_o must_v have_v the_o same_o power_n in_o measure_n work_v in_o he_o to_o beget_v faith_n in_o his_o heart_n that_o he_o may_v believe_v unto_o salvation_n as_o well_o as_o confess_v with_o his_o mouth_n and_o this_o man_n whoever_o he_o be_v bond_n or_o free_n that_o thus_o believe_v the_o death_n of_o christ_n and_o its_o satisfaction_n to_o god_n can_v make_v it_o void_a nor_o divide_v it_o but_o will_v say_v here_o be_v a_o die_a man_n witness_v the_o death_n of_o christ_n and_o nevertheless_o the_o same_o man_n live_v with_o christ_n and_o conclude_v if_o christ_n have_v not_o dye_v man_n must_v have_v perish_v in_o his_o sin_n this_o be_v the_o way_n find_v out_o by_o god_n to_o recover_v he_o 9_o by_o this_o gift_n of_o god_n in_o our_o heart_n we_o further_o believe_v that_o christ_n jesus_n rise_v again_o from_o the_o dead_a and_o sit_v at_o god_n right_a hand_n in_o a_o glorious_a body_n and_o we_o believe_v that_o our_o low_a estate_n and_o humble_a body_n shall_v be_v make_v like_o unto_o his_o glorious_a body_n the_o ough_a the_o work_n of_o his_o mighty_a power_n whereby_o he_o be_v able_a to_o subdue_v all_o thing_n unto_o himself_o and_o that_o this_o mortality_n shall_v put_v on_o immortality_n and_o we_o believe_v that_o regeneration_n or_o the_o believe_v in_o the_o light_n of_o christ_n within_o do_v not_o make_v void_a the_o death_n and_o suffering_n of_o christ_n without_o at_o jerusalem_n no_o more_o than_o believe_v the_o scripture_n testimony_n without_o concern_v christ_n death_n make_v void_a the_o work_n of_o regeneration_n &_o mortification_n within_o but_o as_o the_o apostle_n say_v in_o another_o case_n so_o i_o say_v in_o this_o for_o as_o the_o man_n be_v not_o without_o the_o woman_n neither_o be_v the_o woman_n without_o the_o man_n in_o the_o lord_n even_o so_o be_v not_o the_o death_n and_o suffering_n of_o christ_n without_o at_o jerusalem_n to_o be_v make_v void_a and_o of_o none_o effect_n by_o any_o thing_n within_o neither_o do_v the_o light_n within_o make_v th●t_v of_o none_o effect_v without_o but_o both_o in_o the_o lord_n answer_v his_o will_n for_o though_o there_o be_v and_o may_v be_v a_o knowledge_n and_o belief_n of_o what_o christ_n do_v and_o suffer_v without_o the_o gate_n in_o his_o

own_o body_n upon_o the_o tree_n and_o yet_o sin_v alive_a in_o the_o heart_n and_o the_o work_n of_o regeneration_n not_o know_v yet_o it_o can_v be_v so_o where_o the_o light_n within_o be_v believe_v on_o so_o as_o to_o have_v its_o perfect_a work_n in_o the_o heart_n to_o regenerate_v and_o make_v all_o thing_n new_a and_o to_o be_v of_o god_n this_o man_n can_v never_o make_v void_a what_o christ_n have_v do_v and_o suffer_v without_o and_o yet_o this_o new_a birth_n or_o christ_n form_v within_o and_o dwell_v the_o heart_n by_o faith_n do_v not_o limit_n or_o confine_v christ_n to_o be_v only_o within_o and_o not_o without_o also_o but_o both_o within_o and_o without_o according_a to_o the_o good_a pleasure_n of_o the_o father_n to_o reveal_v &_o make_v he_o know_v for_o he_o fill_v all_o thing_n and_o the_o heaven_n of_o heaven_n can_v contain_v he_o and_o yet_o be_v he_o at_o god_n right_a hand_n far_o above_o all_o heaven_n in_o a_o glorious_a body_n 10._o and_o we_o also_o believe_v the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o just_a and_o unjust_a the_o one_o to_o salvation_n and_o the_o other_o to_o condemnation_n according_a to_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o great_a

foolish_o inquititive_a as_o to_o say_v with_o what_o body_n do_v they_o arise_v therefore_o do_v some_o say_v we_o deny_v both_o the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n and_o of_o all_o that_o be_v or_o shall_v be_v dead_a but_o this_o also_o be_v false_a for_o every_o man_n shall_v be_v raise_v in_o his_o own_o order_n but_o christ_n the_o first_o fruit_n 1_o cor._n 15.23_o and_o
