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

and_o no_o truth_n 4._o it_o be_v to_o be_v believe_v that_o though_o a_o commission_n consist_v of_o few_o word_n without_o increase_n yet_o their_o revelation_n be_v various_a and_o increase_v daily_o 5._o it_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v that_o the_o two_o last_o commission_n be_v not_o to_o offend_v or_o defend_v in_o point_n of_o external_n but_o either_o active_a or_o passive_a to_o yield_v due_a obedience_n to_o king_n governor_z or_o any_o other_o magistrate_n whatsoever_o 6._o it_o be_v to_o be_v believe_v that_o no_o commission_n ought_v to_o be_v obedient_a to_o any_o

it_o be_v to_o be_v believe_v that_o neither_o of_o the_o two_o former_a commission_n be_v to_o understand_v what_o god_n in_o his_o form_n and_o nature_n be_v in_o the_o creation_n as_o this_o our_o commission_n do_v 8._o it_o be_v to_o be_v believe_v that_o our_o commission_n alone_o do_v understand_v how_o this_o god_n and_o father_n after_o intelligence_n give_v to_o mary_n by_o the_o angel_n descend_v from_o heaven_n as_o swift_a as_o think_v into_o the_o womb_n of_o mary_n and_o there_o dissolve_v his_o immortal_a body_n into_o seed_n and_o from_o thence_o quicken_v himself_o into_o a_o mortal_a body_n of_o flesh_n blood_n and_o bone_n so_o call_v a_o son_n 9_o it_o be_v to_o be_v believe_v that_o the_o eternal_a father_n now_o become_v a_o son_n have_v the_o supreme_a power_n within_o he_o that_o quicken_v his_o godhead_n be_v perfect_o dead_a in_o the_o grave_n to_o life_n again_o without_o the_o help_n of_o either_o father_n god_n or_o spirit_n without_o he_o whatsoever_o 10._o it_o be_v to_o be_v believe_v that_o the_o prophet_n elias_n in_o his_o transmutation_n that_o nature_n of_o faith_n in_o he_o become_v a_o chariot_n of_o fire_n so_o strike_v out_o the_o gross_a element_n viz._n water_n earth_n and_o air_n and_o in_o that_o fiery_a faith_n of_o his_o own_o ascend_v to_o glory_n to_o represent_v the_o person_n of_o god_n while_o he_o take_v his_o journey_n in_o the_o flesh_n 11._o also_o it_o be_v to_o be_v believe_v that_o our_o commission_n alone_o in_o the_o revelation_n thereof_o have_v the_o true_a knowledge_n of_o these_o thing_n as_o also_o what_o the_o form_n and_o nature_n of_o the_o angel_n be_v of_o what_o they_o be_v create_v and_o wherefore_o create_v and_o what_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o angelical_a fall_n above_o the_o rest_n and_o why_o and_o wherefore_o he_o be_v cast_v into_o this_o world_n in_o the_o presence_n of_o adam_n and_o eve_n 12._o it_o be_v to_o be_v believe_v that_o never_o any_o but_o our_o commission_n know_v that_o it_o be_v that_o say_a angel_n that_o in_o his_o whole_a form_n enter_v the_o womb_n of_o eve_n and_o there_o dissolve_v into_o seed_n and_o conceive_v into_o flesh_n blood_n and_o bone_n by_o which_o eve_n be_v deceive_v so_o call_v a_o beast_n serpent_n tree_n of_o knowledge_n of_o good_a and_o evil_n that_o so_o none_o of_o that_o seed_n may_v understand_v what_o it_o be_v and_o how_o it_o be_v eve_n be_v deceive_v 13._o it_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v that_o none_o but_o our_o commission_n know_v that_o this_o dissolution_n of_o the_o angel_n in_o the_o womb_n of_o eve_n become_v cain_n the_o first_o devil_n and_o father_n of_o all_o the_o damn_a 14._o it_o be_v to_o be_v believe_v that_o there_o never_o be_v be_v or_o shall_v be_v any_o other_o devil_n but_o man_n and_o woman_n and_o that_o for_o the_o most_o part_n he_o be_v the_o comely_a of_o all_o other_o of_o that_o form_n 15._o it_o be_v to_o be_v believe_v that_o none_o but_o our_o commission_n know_v that_o the_o soul_n of_o both_o faith_n and_o reason_n be_v mortal_a ever_o since_o the_o fall_n of_o adam_n and_o shall_v die_v and_o rot_v in_o the_o grave_n till_o the_o

by_o the_o man_n how_o the_o devil_n get_v into_o he_o nor_o how_o this_o devil_n or_o devil_n go_v out_o of_o he_o and_o get_v into_o the_o herd_n of_o swine_n nor_o what_o become_v of_o those_o devil_n in_o the_o sea_n whether_o drown_v in_o the_o sea_n or_o no_o but_o however_o so_o as_o i_o have_v say_v before_o so_o i_o say_v again_o that_o there_o be_v no_o devil_n without_o a_o body_n that_o can_v torment_v another_o neither_o can_v that_o devil_n if_o he_o be_v not_o generate_v in_o man_n either_o come_v in_o or_o go_v out_o of_o man_n but_o he_o must_v be_v see_v otherwise_o he_o

and_o distemper_v the_o mind_n of_o man_n and_o how_o do_v thou_o know_v that_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n leave_v or_o go_v out_o of_o the_o body_n at_o the_o hour_n of_o death_n chap._n 9_o show_v what_o the_o soul_n be_v and_o what_o it_o be_v that_o die_v how_o that_o the_o soul_n which_o be_v the_o life_n of_o the_o body_n can_v die_v and_o nothing_o else_o but_o life_n that_o die_v reason_n why_o i_o believe_v the_o soul_n can_v die_v because_o i_o conceive_v it_o a_o thing_n impossible_a the_o soul_n be_v a_o eternal_a spirit_n can_v be_v capable_a of_o death_n and_o beside_o solomon_n say_v then_o shall_v the_o dust_n return_n to_o the_o earth_n as_o it_o be_v and_o the_o spirit_n shall_v return_v unto_o god_n who_o give_v it_o so_o that_o it_o be_v my_o believe_v the_o soul_n can_v die_v faith_n though_o this_o principle_n be_v full_o clear_v in_o the_o prophet_n book_n call_v joyful_a news_n from_o heaven_n yet_o i_o shall_v reveal_v the_o truth_n of_o it_o upon_o another_o account_n that_o the_o soul_n be_v mortal_a so_o capable_a to_o die_v otherwise_o it_o can_v not_o live_v eternal_a for_o as_o nothing_o but_o life_n can_v die_v and_o that_o life_n be_v dead_a shall_v be_v make_v capable_a to_o live_v a_o life_n eternal_a reason_n before_o thou_o proceed_v any_o further_a let_v i_o but_o hear_v how_o that_o nothing_o but_o life_n can_v die_v which_o it_o be_v conceive_v by_o all_o know_a man_n that_o life_n which_o thou_o call_v the_o soul_n be_v immortal_a and_o can_v die_v now_o that_o natural_a life_n that_o run_v in_o the_o blood_n may_v die_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v confess_v when_o a_o man_n be_v murder_v or_o hang_v his_o breath_n be_v stifle_v and_o so_o the_o natural_a mortal_a die_v yet_o all_o this_o while_n as_o solomon_n say_v the_o soul_n go_v to_o god_n that_o give_v it_o faith_n have_v in_o our_o former_a writing_n make_v it_o appear_v that_o solomon_n be_v the_o high_a pitch_n of_o reason_n that_o ever_o be_v so_o what_o he_o speak_v be_v only_a knowledge_n in_o nature_n and_o not_o by_o the_o revelation_n of_o faith_n therefore_o no_o scripture_n for_o reason_n imagine_v thing_n that_o be_v not_o and_o thing_n that_o can_v be_v understand_v by_o any_o sober_a man_n much_o less_o by_o a_o man_n in_o revelation_n as_o to_o think_v that_o a_o immortal_a soul_n or_o spirit_n shall_v be_v limit_v to_o a_o mortal_a body_n which_o be_v as_o possible_a as_o light_v and_o darkness_n to_o dwell_v together_o as_o a_o immortal_a soul_n to_o live_v in_o a_o mortal_a body_n therefore_o i_o say_v that_o the_o soul_n and_o body_n of_o man_n be_v one_o distinct_a live_a and_o die_a essence_n for_o the_o soul_n or_o spirit_n in_o the_o womb_n by_o degree_n congeal_v together_o into_o a_o rational_a fire_n of_o blood_n and_o water_n and_o so_o in_o due_a time_n become_v a_o complete_a body_n of_o flesh_n blood_n and_o bone_n so_o that_o the_o life_n that_o be_v in_o man_n be_v not_o divine_a but_o

generate_v in_o or_o by_o the_o seed_n for_o i_o read_v that_o god_n breathe_v into_o adam_n and_o he_o become_v a_o live_a soul_n so_o his_o soul_n be_v not_o immortal_a but_o mortal_a and_o so_o be_v all_o mankind_n faith_n however_o it_o be_v strange_a to_o thou_o yet_o i_o know_v it_o be_v a_o real_a truth_n to_o i_o that_o the_o word_n by_o which_o god_n first_o create_v life_n in_o man_n that_o word_n or_o breath_n be_v immortal_a which_o by_o his_o fall_n become_v mortal_a as_o at_o large_a be_v clear_v in_o the_o seven_o chapter_n and_o this_o know_v god_n never_o create_v but_o
