Divine nature they nothing of that nature his did differ much from theirs even in the species form and esse thereof Hence it necessarily follows that they who are not enlightened know not all things necessary to be known unto salvation are not comforted sealed have not the love of God shed abroad in their hearts do not boldly profess the truth do not call upon the Name of the Lord with groans do not walk in the wayes of God c. however they may pretend to the spirit of grace yet they never had neither as yet have him dwelling in them Further I add that they which speak evil of the Scriptures are void likewise of the spirit for the Scriptures are the words inspiration and breath of the spirit of God holy men of God spake saith the Apostle as they were moved by the Holy Ghost 2 Pet. 1.20,21 Paul tells us that the words of David Psal 95.7 are the words of the holy ghost Heb. 3.7 As the Holy Ghost saith Harden not your hearts the holy ghost is said seven times in the second third chapters of the Revelation to speak unto the churches those words which St. Iohn from the mouth of Jesus Christ writ unto the churches Lastly Jude saith expresly that such as despise Dominion speak evil of Dignities go in Cain's way run greedily after the error of Balaam gainsay with Core that speak great swelling words and seperate themselves are sensual not having the spirit There is a seperation lawful warrantable necessary he members of the church of Corinth are called out from among the Idolatrous heathen and commanded to seperate from them 2 Cor. 6. but not any member of the church of Corinth was commanded to come out of the church it self or to seperate from the body thereof though it was very corrupt such a seperation is expresly forbidden in the Book of God Heb. 10. It 's lawful yea necessary to seperate from the church of Rome it 's Babylon out of it we are called this heavenly call we have so far obeyed as that we are condemned for hereticks have resisted unto blood many have been burnt at stakes Have they charity and the spirit of God that dare forsake and also condemn our Assemblies But some may say upon the reading of this Discourse What means should we use that God may pour down his spirit upon us I answer We must ask the spirit of God Christ saith Luke 11.13 If ye who are evil know how to give good gifts unto your children how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Ghost to those that ask him It 's duty not presumption to pray for him 2. We must attend upon the word it 's the chariot of the spirit and turn also at God's reproof Prov. 1.23 Turn ye at my reproof saith the Lord Behold I will pour out my spirit unto you I will make known my words unto you 3. We must thirst after the Water of life the spirit of God I will saith the Lord pour water upon the thirsty and floods upon the dry ground I will pour my spirit upon thy seed and my blessing upon thy off-spring Isa 44.3 4. We must believe on the 〈◊〉 God Christ inviting the thirsty to come unto him and promising water of life unto them John 7.37,38,39 It 's said This he spake of the spirit which they that believe on him should receive 5. Let us distinguish betwixt that new heart and spirit which God according to his promise puts in his people and God's holy spirit which he hath promised to put within them We must necessarily distinguish betwixt grace and the spirit of grace the new creature and the Creator The Lord saith in Ezek. 36.26 A new heart will I give unto you and a new spirit will I put within you And verse 27. he adds another promise and saith he I will put my spirit within you And the Apostle Rom. 8.9 saith Ye are not in the flesh but in the spirit if so be the spirit of God dwell in you Now if any have not the spirit of Christ he is none of his Distinguish also betwixt the spirit's being in a man in respect of his essence and in respect of his influence and operations The Lord promiseth in many places saith Orthodox Downam in his Christian Warfare to give unto us his holy spirit which is not onely to be understood of the gifts and graces of the spirit but also of the vertue and efficacy of the spirit dwelling in us Let us also lean upon the good spirit of God trust in him for direction guidance assistance in all things let us give him glory herein and he will be with us quicken settle lead perfect us To whom with the Father and his dear Son Jesus Christ be glory for ever Amen Amen REader because some pages are vacant I thought good to put down certain railing speeches of the Papists against our Protestant-Ministers that it may appear to all our hearers that the Quakers are either disciples to the Papists or their confederates or at the least led or rather misled by the same spirit Some of their railings are these that follow The Devil possesseth you The spirit of the Devil is within you The Devil reigneth in your hearts Ye are moved by the instinct of Satan The Devil hath you fast bound Ye are the children of the Devil Ye are the limbs of Antichrist Ye are the practised Ministers of Antichrist Your Babilonical tower Ye are fast bound in Satans fetters Ye have learned of the Devil The spirit of Satan is in you Satan holds you captive Thou Heretick Judas Beelzebub You are Miscreants These railing speeches with many others are gathered out of the writings of Mr. Harding and other Popish-writers by those two famous Divines B. Jewel D. Willet and are set down in B. Jewel's Defence of the Apology of the Church of England and Dr. Wil-let's Four Pillars of Popery Call to mind good Reader what railing speeches thou hast heard out of the mouths of the Quakers and compare them with these railings of the Papists and then judge whether they or we be more popish FINIS
