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.

own Body upon the Tree and yet sin alive in the Heart and the Work of Regeneration not known yet it can't be so where the Light within is believed on so as to have its perfect Work in the Heart to regenerate and make all things New and to be of God this man can never make void what Christ hath done and suffered without And yet this New Birth or Christ formed within and dwelling the heart by Faith doth not limit or confine Christ to be only within and not without also but both within and without according to the good pleasure of the Father to reveal make him known for he filleth all things and the Heaven of Heavens cannot contain him and yet is he at God's Right Hand far above all Heavens in a Glorious Body 10. And we also believe the Resurrection of the Just and Unjust the one to Salvation and the other to Condemnation according to the Judgment of the Great Day and then shall every Seed have its own Body for if the Dead rise not we are of all men most miserable But because we dare not be so foolishly inquititive as to say With what Bodies do they arise therefore do some say We deny both the Resurrection of the Body of Christ and of all that are or shall be Dead But this also is false for every man shall be raised in his own Order but Christ the first Fruits 1 Cor. 15.23 And we believe they shall be raised with the same Bodies so far as Natural and Spiritual Corruptible and Incorruptible Terrestrial and Coelestial can be the same Pag. 40. of the same Book by E. Burrough And we believe Even He that was Dead is alive and lives for evermore and that he Cometh and shall Come again to Judge the whole World with Righteousness and all People with Equity and shall give to every man according to his Deeds at the Day of Judgment when all shall arise to Condemnation or Justification he that hath done good shall receive Life and he that hath done evil everlasting Condemnation Testimony for the Man Christ Jesus pag. 4. cites W. Penn where he speaks in the Name and Person of the Quakers thus We do believe the Man Christ Jesus to be glorified in Heaven We do believe that holy Manhood to be glorified in heavenly Glory See now how far the Quakers are from denying the true and real Manhood of Christ in Heaven or disowning Jesus of Nazareth to be the Messiah And we further add and confess That the Same Man Christ Jesus that suffered and was put to Death in the Flesh and raised from the dead by the mighty Power of God ascended into Heaven Gods dwelling place ascended both as to a change of Place and state of Glory He is highly exalted in Power and Authority Pag. 7. We have always believed owned the Man Christ Jesus according to the plain History of him in Holy Scripture as namely That he was miraculously conceived by the holy Ghost overshadowing the Virgin Mary that he lived an innocent sinless Life preacht powerfully wrought Miracles was crucified and put to Death as concerning the Flesh buried and rose again the 3d day and was seen of his Disciples and many Brethren after he arose and that the Same Body that was put to Death was raised by the Power of God was a real Body really seen both before and after his Resurrection and at his ascention also So we confess the same Man Christ not only to be still in being but also glorified and his Body to be a glorious heavenly and spiritual Body And as to his being Man We have one Mediator between God and Man even the Man Christ Jesus 1 Tim. 2. And God will judge the World in Righteousness by that MAN whom he hath ordained whom he hath raised from the Dead Acts 17.31 So th●t this MAN Christ did neither Vanish nor Perish in any thing Essential to him ☞ either as to his SPIRIT SOUL or BODY but is highly exalted and glorified P. 12. But if we shall be changed as to our low Body and fashioned into a glorious and spiritual state then is Christ as to his Body changed or translated into a far more glorious State than what it had when on Earth P. 13. as for those Objections against the Man Christ his being in Heaven they are of W. Harworth's own framing and not the Quakers for where did they ever thus argue viz. Ephes 4.10 The Apostle saith he ascended far above all Heavens ergo Christ is not in Heaven as to his MANHOOD Let him shew us that Book or Dispute wherein we have this Argument if he can Again 1 Cor. 15. Flesh Blood cannot enter into the Kingdom of Heaven Where do the Quakers argue from hence that therefore Christ is not there as to his Manhood Let him produce Book page for this or forever be ashamed His Reasons to prove Christ now a Man in Heaven do not reach nor touch us the thing not being deny'd but really believed and Confessed unto by us Malice of the Indep Agent again rebuked p. 17. The terms Natural and Earthly as given to the glorious Body of Christ were and are offensive to us It must needs be a very glorious heavenly Body and we believing such a change in the glorious Body of Christ we do not thereby nor ever did believe that the Body of Christ which suffered was annihilated that his Flesh saw Corruption No such matter May there not be then a very wonderful change in the Body and yet the Substance not annihilated nor destroy'd nor does it follow from our not believing nor owning his Characters of natural earthly on Christs glorious Body that therefore nothing of that Body remains or is in being P. 19. As if we allowed nothing of the Man Christ either of Spirit or Body to have a being after his Resurrection to ascend which is a horrid falshood for though it was changed and became excellent refined and glorious yet it follows not that it was annihilated Though Christ be God and Man in a most glorious Union and Power yet the Manhood is not the Deity nor the Deity the Manhood yet inseperable in the heavenly Man Christ who is Lord from Heaven Pag. 23. Postscript by George Whitehead in answer to W. H'● Q●eries Q. I do but Query what is become of that Flesh wherein He i. e. Christ was manifested Is that Flesh now in being if so where is it in every place or circumscribed in Heaven Answ That Flesh saw no Corruption but was raised from the dead Christ did rise in that Body wherein he suffered and in the same ascended into the Heavens where the Patriarch David did not as to his Body which is in the Sepulchre Acts 2.29 And that very Body of Christ which was raised from the dead how should it but be in being seeing he dyed not again according to Rom. 6.9 knowing Christ being raised from the
