For every Plant or Branch in Christ the Vine by external profession that brings not forth the fruit of true Faith for Faith is the fruit of the Spirit shall be taken away from that profession to some damnable Heresie or Atheisme And that Scripture is verified in you and hundreds more of you Baptists who since you have forsaken your Baptism and the Covenant of the Grace of God are given up to damnable Heresies to Arminianism Pelagianism a Popish Principle and some to Quakerism and flat Atheism And therefore this day is that Doctrine of Christ fulfilled upon you O! that God would grant you repentance 2 Tim. 2.25 it is God that gives repentance and it is to be feared because you have stoln that Prerogative from God and placed it in your selves that God will harden your hearts as he did Pharaoh's Rom. 9. and give you up to believe a lye that you may be damned 2 Thes 2.10 11 12. and Joh. 12.40 blind your eyes and harden your hearts lest you should be converted For to him is all Power and Glory and Freedom to do what he will in Heaven and Earth for ever and ever Rom. 11. last The nineteenth Article makes provision for the poor and belongs to the Church-wardens and Overseers of the Poor and to the Kings Justices of the Peace at the Quarter Sessions and Monthly Meetings Nevertheless I desire to give of my Morsel to every one that wants and a Cup of Water to a Disciple in the name of a Disciple This is the Mode of all Sects and Heresies this day in the World to call all their own Brood Saints so do the Papists Arrians Arminians Socinians Quakers and Baptists This is that Christ prophesied of Mat. 2.11 Loe here is Christ loe there is Christ but you are all deceived for Christ is not confined to your secret Chambers to your Societies or to your Wilderness he is where-ever the Faith of Christ is which you deny having brought another Gospel Gal. 1. and are therefore accursed The twentieth Article professes the Resurrection from the Dead which the Quakers do seem to deny that is that the Bodies of the Saints that died shall rise again and together with Christ their Head be glorified and the Bodies of the Unbelievers be raised and their Spirits and Souls be re-conjoyned and suffer together with the Devils to all Eternity But some of you Baptistical Arminians do hold that the Soul is mortal and dies with the Body till the Resurrection contrary to the true Churches confession in all Ages and to the Scriptures Phil. 1.21 22 23. ver If Paul's Soul had died with his Body till the Resurrection it had been no gain to him to die for then there had been more gain to have lived though in a wicked World because here he by Faith enjoyed Christ and his Soul lived with his Body but when dead his Soul also slept at least and then he could enjoy no Communion of Christ till the time of the Resurrection But to die is gain Ergo his Soul did live and enjoy Christ immediately after his dissolution as vers 23.
