Seed of God should be sown in one condition and raised in another seeing the Apostles words are plain to that effect for that which thou sowest is not quickened except it die and doth not that Seed suffer in man by corruption before it be raised in incorruption and is it not the Seed of God that is sown in weakness and raised in Power and every Seed shall have its own Body and what is it God gives a Body to as it pleaseth him but the Seed And what Seed is that is raised in incorruption Glory and Power but the Seed of God before which state of the Seed be attained to the Seed is known in suffering in death and in corruption though in it self it be incorruptible for it could not be said it shall be quickened unless after it be sown it dye and in respect of its being sown in weakness and dying as to them in whom it is sown who are not redeemed into the state of the second Adam it s said to be sown a Natural Body as also there is a Natural Seed or Seed of Abraham according to the flesh that this Seed of God takes hold on or takes upon it but in respect of its being raised in Power and Glory it is Spiritual and Immortal as being beyond that state in which it is sown in weakness which states none comes truly to know but as they come into death with the Seed and to be raised up by the Spirit that raised up Jesus from the dead which spirit where it dwells doth quicken the mortal bodies and doth bring into the likeness of Christs Glorious Body and as many as are dead with Christ shall live and appear with him in Glory and witness the Body of their lowness made like unto his Glorious Body whose they are and such who come to the Resurrection of the Just and to see the mortal Body which was dead because of sin quickened by the Spirit of Christ dwelling in them shall come to witness that of Hosea 13 14. fulfilled for they shall come to be ransomed from the Power of the Grave and redeemed from death as the Seed comes to live and reign which cannot be holden of death nor kept in the Grave but is the destruction of the Grave and this the Prophet witnessed when he was delivered from the power of the Grave and his soul brought out of the Pit by the sides whereof the Graves were set And why saith J. W. in page 60. as that arising which Christ through the Faith of the Operation of God is not the Resurrection from the dead nor the state of perfection which the Faithful unto death shall obtain c. What do not they that rise with Christ rise from the dead And was not that the Resurrection from the dead that Saint Paul desired to attain to Phil. 3.11 Are not all men in sin dead And do not they that rise with Christ rise out of sin seeing the Saints that had been dead in trespasses and sins when they were quickened and raised in Christ they were come to live in him with whom they shall live who first knew what it was to die with him or to be baptized into his death for the dead in Christ shall rise first and is not that a state of perfection where there is a Resurrection in Christ from sin and the death which came in by it For is it not sin that caused the imperfection And that the Resurrection from the dead is a raising of man from the dead in every part wherein he is dead by reason of sin and to live in every part wherein he lived before he sinned to wit to be alive in Spirit Soul and Body as in page 66. Who denies that For because of sin death hath come over man in every part both over spirit soul and body so that where man is raised out of sin by Christ who is the Resurrection and the Life his Spirit is quickened that it can rejoyce in God and his soul is raised up out of death that it can magnifie him who is the Saviour and if Christ be in you the Body iâ— dead because of sin and the same spirit that raised up Jesus from the dead shall quicken the mortal Body and the Creature it self thereby comes to be delivered into the Glorious liberty of the Sons of God so that the Resurrection of the whole man and of every man in his own order 1 Cor. 15 23 over whom death and the Grave had dominion we own and do not take a part of it for the whole as falsly J. W. accuseth us But whereas J. VV. imagineth that the Redemption of the Body spoken of in Rom. 8. Which the Saints groaned travelled and waited for is not to be enjoyed till the Natural and visible bodies of men shall be raised out of the Graves as in page 65. and 53. and 55. This is like the rest of his vain Imaginations and foolish dreams about the Resurrection and other things for this would suppose that that Redemption of the Body from the bondage of Corruption which Saint Paul and other Saints so many hundred years agoe did travel and wait and hope for in their suffering state is not yet attained which would render their Faith Hope and Travel ineffectual and what then was that bondage of corruption and that suffering under which the body suffered and from which they waited for redemption is it some bondage or suffering that the Saints so long deceased both were in their dayes and are yet in suffering under if they be not yet attained to the redemption of the body which so long since they travelled for as this J. VV. ignorantly seems to imply which his reason is like his saying that God is declared to be the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob because their bodies which are dead shall live again when as he was their God because they lived with him and were in him and were in the bosom of the Father who is not the God of the dead but of the living And as for that of Job 19.25 26 27. Which he mentions where Job knew his Redeemer living and that he should stand upon the Earth and that in his flesh he should see God whom said he I shall see for my self and mine eyes shall behold c. After this Job knew his hope herein fulfilled when he said to the Lord Chap. 42. I have heard of thee by the Hearing of the Ear but now mine eyes seeth thee Now it is not to be supposed that Job did either see or expect to see God with bodily or carnal eyes for who so imagines they must suppose God to be visible like themselves and not a Spirit nor an immortal invisible being who is to be seen spiritually and not carnally who is in that immortality and Glory with no man as mortal can approach to or behold with that which is mortal and what silly reasoning is it for J W. from that of Rev.
charges against us hath he dealt deceitfully like him who is the Father of lyes and lyars who when he speaketh a lye he speaketh of himself and not as a rational man and in very many things he hath absolutely wronged our Principles and Practises and charged as apparent falshoods upon us as ever was as hereafter is made manifest to the shame of him that was the Authour of the said lying Book called A Testimony for the Son of man c. and the shame of all such false Spirits as own him in his work We see that God hath appeared in Judgement against you and your way and a line of confusion is come over you since that so many of you especially of your Leaders have set themselves in their envy and malice against us who are in the Power of Truth what do you think that spreading your railing and false Books against us will gain you favour from the prophane world and be any means to rescue you from persecution or suffering under the powers of the earth Do you think to save your selves by reviling the Innocent as some of the Leaders in your way have gotten themselves out of Prison by swearing contrary to Christs Doctrine after they have been imprisoned for denying to swear when so many of our friends were in prisons for refusing to swear for Conscience sake to Christ And not onely so but several of them who have long been reputed eminent in your way have like Men-pleasers written to vindicate swearing and oaths as treacherous men both to God to their own Consciences and to his Innocent and Conscientious people such as you have reviled and bespattered with reproaches in the Book here answered who would be loath to be so treacherous to God and their own Consciences as many in your way have been whatever we suffer either from you or from the persecuters in the same envious spirit which is among you And yet this know that we had not publisht this against any of you had we not had that great occasion given us by this piece of wicked work which Joseph Wright your Defender hath brought forth wherein we who preach the Light of Christ within are not onely slandered and bespattered with his lyes and calumnies as men but also the Truth of God which we are in and suffer for is blasphemed belyed and perverted even in the sight of our enemies in vindication whereof we were necessitated to give this forth and to deal thus plainly with your Principles which are published by your pretended Defender otherwise we could have been silent as from medling with you in this kind for it is no pleasure to us to bestow so much labour upon such a heap of confusion and absurdities as I. VV. his work is nor to upbraid you with your confusion and weaknesse in what you professe especially since you are as in a suffering state and like to suffer as we are if you be true to your Principles and conscientious towards God in what you know or professe but you may see the urgent occasion given against us and the Truth for what we do in this thing And though I.VV. does not name the word Quakers by name yet it is all one as if he had done it whilst he so often in general words upbraids such as preach the Light within for we called Quakers are known to be the people he all along so peevishly smites against seeing that we are known so generally to own and preach the Light within as the Saints of old did and in that Light of Christ in us we see Light and therein are as a City set upon a Hill which cannot be hid and are in that Truth and Life which will out-live our opposers and persecuters and do know that power manifest in us which out-shines all the dead and empty forms professions and traditions of all who are out of the life and power of godlinesse and in that hath the Lord given us strength and the spirit of understanding to see beyond and to stand over our opposers and the envy and subtilty of the Serpent in such as rise up in Judgment against us Glory to our God for ever and ever And now we come to some of the heads of Joseph Wrights matter in charge against such as preach the Law and Light within CHAP. I. Concerning the Light within and Christs coming in the flesh and dying for all men J.W. his first charge is in these words viz. The first thing I lay to thy charge whosoever thou art that preachest up the Light within men requiring all People to mind the light which is within them is this That thou dost deny that Christ which dyed at Jerusalem and denyest Jesus Christ come in the flesh and thy spirit is the spirit of Antichrist c. And the first proof for his charge is in these words viz. 1. Because in all thy preaching teaching and declaring thou never makes mention of Christs dying for the sins of the world nor that he tasted death for every man thou art altogether silent in this Doctrine of Christs dying for man in the body of his flesh c. And his second proof is in these words viz. 2. Because as is thy word of mouth even so is thy writings for amongst them all and in them all there is not one line which teacheth that Christ did dye for the sins of the world and freely laid down his life as a ransome for sinners c. Answer As his charge is universal against all that preach up the light within it is both false and slanderous as also all his proofs for it so that he might as well have said that the light of Christ in all men and the Doctrine of Christ which directs to it doth deny Christ and his coming in the flesh when as on the contrary all who truly own and believe in the light of Christ-in them by it they come to be led to the knowledge of Christ from whence it comes and to the power of his death and the vertue of his life which none can truly know but as they are led by the light of Christ within which giveth the Knowledge of the Glory of God and of those things that are freely given to us of God and Christ said believe in the 〈…〉 t that you may be children of the light John 12.36 Did Christ herein deny himself or his coming in the flesh as falsly J. VV. accuseth all that preach the light within and in that we are included in his proofs as never mentioning Christs tasting death for every man either in our Preaching or writings in this he hath notoriously belyed us as thousands may witness against him who have heard us both Preach up and contend for the free Grace of God to all men and thereby that Christ tasted death for every man and dyed for all men and gave him self a ransom for all to be testified of in due time Heb. 2.9 1 Tim. 2.6
of and as in that he lives he comes to be reckoned among the Faithful and profitable Servants of Christ who become his Friends through faithfulnesse and Christ said unto such I call you no more Servants but Friends and this is further then the unprofitable Servants state And whereas J. W. chargeth such as strangers to justification by Faith in the Blood of Christ who say That so far as the creature is brought out of the filth of this world and to leave sin so far onely is he justified before God c. As also he tells of a poor sinner standing justified before God and of God justifying the creature while it is in its sins in its blood page 14. Answer Herein hath J. W. shewed himself ignorant of justification before God by Faith and of the state of justification for the Creature is not justified as a sinner nor in that state wherein it is in the filth of the World and in its blood but as it is made just in Christ being justified from sin and ungodliness and not in sin and justified from those things from which it could not be justified by the Law of Moses and it is not the hearers of the law that are just before God but the doers that shall be justified So this justification is not without sanctificaon as deceivers do falsly imagine a justification of men when they are in the filth of the world contrary to the Apostles Doctrine who said to the Corinthians But ye are washed but ye are sanctified but ye are justified in the Name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God 1 Cor. 6.11 So that he did not deny following the light or Spirit of God within as in reference to mans justification nor Preach up a justification of men when they are in the filth of the world and in their Blood as J. W. hath done who notwithstanding hath in page 124. owned a justification by performing the condition of the second Covenant through the assistance of Gods Spirit and that so far forth as persons are in Covenant with Christ and are enabled to walk according to his direction so far are they in a blessed estate as in page the 125. and is not that blessed estate and freedom from the guilt power and dominion of sin and assurance of eternal Life and a justified estate supposeth J.W. How hath he confounded him self in these things who hath also granted that they that believe are taught to be holy as he which hath called them is holy and to be holy in all manner of conversation because it is written be ye holy for I the Lord your God am holy 1 Pet. 1 14 15. Lev. 19.2 How then are any justified while they are in the filth of the world in their sins and in their blood Thus all may see what gross absurdity confusion and ignorance this J. W. is in who also saith The humble do see themselves in a lost and undone estate by reason of sin which they and all the world are guilty of finding themselves under the curse of the law c. What falshood and confusion is this when as those that are truly humble are taught of the Lord and freed from the guilt of sin according to this mans own confession and the humble and contrite heart is a Sacrifice to God and not to be reckoned under the guilt of the worlds sin nor under the curse of the Law as this J. W. hath falsely accused the humble who are of contrite Spirits whom God regards Also J. W. hath accused such as followers of the Romish Synagogue and as being Messengers of Satan who Preach up the light within saying that they lead all such as follow them from Christ to themselves setting up themselves c. As also he saith They set up that which is indeed the darkness of this world the traditions of men the Doctrines of the Romish Harlot page 21. Answ. What an absurd and foolish slanderer is this man who distinguisheth not between the Light within men and the men themselves when as they who truly preach the Light of Christ within do not lead them from Christ to themselves but to that which is not of themselves that they may come to deny themselves as he hath taught and this we own which is no setting up of strife nor of the darknesse of this world neither is it any Tradition of men or Doctrine of the Romish Harlot as impudently and falsly J. W. hath charged against such as preach the Light within and so hath manifested himself to be one of them who put Light for darkness and darknesse for Light unto whom Woes belongs Isa. 5 20. and the more he strives against the Light the more he confounds and splits himself against the Rock who having confessed that what we preach is the work of the Law in the hearts Rom. 2.15 and as much as that there is a light in us and all men contrary to the spirit of darknesse and now chargeth us with setting up the darknesse of this world and the Doctrines of the Romish Harlot what grosse darknesse confusion and blasphemies hath he here uttered forth if J. W. his heart were not filled with envy and malice he would not shew himself thus impudent in his folly and confusion CHAP. II. Concerning the nature and state of Christ and the soul of man and the Saints partaking of the divine nature and how J.W. hath confounded himself and shewed his blindnesse about these things JOseph Wright's words viz. Thou art a Deceiver for thou sayest not that the flesh and bones humane soul and spirit of that man which was born of Mary the Virgin is the Christ but thou making no mention of the humane nature that which thou callest the Christ is the seed spirit or light in that man that was born of Mary p. 23 24. c. Answer That which we own to be the Christ is the same that the Apostles and true Believers owned to wit That Jesus Christ our Lord was made of the seed of Abraham and David according to the flesh and declared to be the Son of God with Power according to the spirit of holinesse by the Resurrection from the dead and the seed which the promise is to is Christ and the last Adam was made a quickning Spirit and the Lord is that Spirit set Româ— 1.3 4. â— Cor. 15.45 Gal. 3.16 2 Cor. 3.17 Was the Apostle Paul a deceiver for speaking these things supposeth J. W which are the same things we speak though he count us Dâ—ceivers and is not this seed or spirit which is Christ in them that believe Yet J. W. hath confessed That it ought not to be denyed that the Spirit of Holinesse in that person which was born of the Virgin Mary is the Son of God by eternal Generation c. Why then hath he judged any to be deceivers for confessing that spirit or seed to be Christ and we confesse Jesus Christ to be come in
they Prophesied to the Seed And Christ as he hath Power to lay down his Life which no man taketh from him so he hath Power to take it again John 10.17 18. and to raise up his own Life or Seed in his People Did not his own Arm or Power bring Salvation to him Isa. 63.5 And where he is manifested in that Power in his Saints may he not speak thorow them to his own in others where manifest in a less measure And did not Saint Paul travel till Christ was formed in the Galathians Gal. 4.19 And what ignorance is it in J. W. to deny in page 106. that Christ Preached to the Spirits when they were in Prison Seeing that when he was quickened by the Spirit he Preached to the Spirits in Prison 1 Pet. 3.19 As also he was promised to open the Prison Doors and bring forth the Prisoners out of the Prison-house and he it is that saith to the Prisoners shew your selves And J.W. in p. 141. hath further charged absolute falshoods upon us in saying as that the creature man is not the subject of our blessings but a supposed seed and that the subject of our curse he saith is not the creature man consisting of spirit soul and body but a contrary seed likely the Devil c. These are as wicked and false as his accusing us that when we exhort to perfection we never intend that the creature man with all the helps he can lay hold on either is can or ought to be perfect as in pages 145 146 149. when as on the contrary we affirm that the creature man as he comes into the seed of God which the blessing is originally to which is perfect and to be in the nature and life of it therein he partakes of the blessings which are in that seed and grows unto a perfect man as the Saints did and on the contrary as men or Creatures are joyned to the evil seed and servants to the Devil so they become subjects with the Devil of the curse and anger of God which they treasure up to themselves and this is no emboldning man on in his sin nor advantagious to Satan as he saith p. 141. And we neither exhort God nor Christ to perfection nor make them the subjects of our exhortation as J. W. in effect hath accused us who but an impudent malicious man would have charged such wicked lyes absurdities and blasphemies upon us as he hath done Are these the fruits of the Baptists spirit Sad is that peoples state that have appointed this Jos-Wright for a defence unto them or their way as he accounts himself and poorly are they defended by him CHAPTER V. Concerning Ordinances and J. W. his idolatry and falshood about Water Baptism ANd whereas in pages 33 42 and 158. thou J.W. hast accused such as do preach the Light within with denying Baptism in water prayer and laying on of hands and with reproaching and despising the Ordinances of the new Testament and with calling prayer and laying on of hands carnal c. To this we lay thou hast grosely slandered and impudently belyed us in these as in many other things for both prayer laying on of hands and other ordinances as they are performed in the Power of God by the leadings of his Spirit we own but where such things are done out of the Power or leading of that Spirit in mens wills they are but formal dead and empty and as such to be denyed and the one Baptism Eph. 4.5 which the outward was but as a figure of we witnesse And further note how thou hast contradicted thy self in pages 159. and 160. thou hast accused us for laying on of hands and for praying once in thirteen dayes at least with such as are inclinable to our Principles how then do we reproach and despise prayer and laying on of hands as in general terms thou hast accused us how art thou confounded in thy malicious accusations which confusion is a fruit of thy envy for where envy is there is confusion and whereas thou art pleading for the Baptism of Believers in water as an ordinance of great authority and as being appointed to signifie the burial and Resurrection of Christ and the fellowship of true believers in his death and that it consisteth not in the bare putting away the filth of the flesh as the Jewish Baptisms did Heb. 9.9 and that the effect of it is greater then the effect of those legal washings and thy proof is 1 Pet. 3.21 22. Answ. In thy Epistle to the Churches thou counsellest them not to discourse this Spirit about the Authority of Ordinances meaning the spirit of such as preach up the Light within and in thy other Epistle to them that so preach thou pretendest as if thou would not be disputing about Ordinances when the difference is about the substance yet now in contradiction to thy former counsel and pretence thou hast disputed about the authority of Water Baptism which thou applaudest as thy great Ordinance as if there were more efficacy in it then the bare putting away the filth of the flesh how hast thou discovered thy lying spirit and confusion of Babylon one while to counsel others and to pretend not to discourse about Ordinances and then afterward to contend for them as thou hast done though to little effect or purpose they that cannot see thy falshood and folly herein are stark blind and that of 1 Pet. 3.21.22 thou hast absolutely perverted it for it does noâ— prove your Baptism in Water to have more in it then the Jewes washings or baptizings Heb. 9.9 for there is mention of the Baptism that saweth which is not the putting away of the filth of the flesh but the answer of a good Conscience which the outward water or washing is mentioned as a figure of for there is a plain distinction betwixt the inward Baptism that saveth and the outward washing or putting away the filth of the flesh and the true believers in Christ are come further then that which is but the sign or figure or doth but signifie Christs burial Resurrection or their fellowship in his death for they are come to be baptized into his death and to be raised in his life by that Spirit which hath baptized them which is the substance wherein the signes and shadows are ended which Christ through his death and suffering made way for mens Redemption out of and abolished the Law of Commandements by which these outward shadows and figures which related to that state that was under the Law were upheld where the possession of the holy Seed which is the substance was not attained to and the use of such outward Baptisms or shadows by any of the Apostles for a time does not prove them of force by a Law since Christ fulfilled them and abolished the Law of them Eph. 2.15 Col. 2.14.20 and through suffering made way for a further more glorious and living dispensation then that wherein the signs shadows or figures
let the judgement be to himself for we are not guilty but he guilty of wickedness in charging us so falsly like as if he had given up himself to rail and accuse the innocent for be it known to J. W. we esteem as well and truly of the Scriptures as he doth And thus I count it a sufficient answer to deny his false Charges and to turn back his own sentence to him again God will punish him severely for his wickedness CHAP. XII Concerning the Infallible Teacher and that it is the Spirit of God and not the Scriptures NOw I shall proceed to J. W. his Proofs That the Scriptures are an Infallible Teacher of the Doctrine of Salvation c. To which I Answer this is a false assertion for first the Scriptures as he hath confessed are subject to change and alteration and that which is so is not infallible for that onely is infallible which admits of no change nor alteration but such are not the Scriptures the writings and therefore not infallible though it is alwayes acknowledged the Truth and Way of Salvation declared in the Scriptures are Infallible Secondly This assertion seems absolutely to deny the Spirit of God and its Teachings which is given in the new Covenant unto all that believe for God hath promised I will put my Spirit within them and pour it upon them and they shall need no man to teach them but as that spirit teacheth them And the spirit was promised by Christ that it should be given to lead into all Truth and be the Everlasting Comforter and it is the spirit that quickeneth and gives Life and Sanctifies and Teaches to do the Will of God all this the Scriptures testifie and not as if the Scriptures were the Teacher the Comforter the Leader but the Scriptures say the spirit doth all this but J. W. has accounted the Scriptures to do all and accounts not of the Spirit to do any thing for he hath hardly mentioned it in this case and thus his folly and weakness hath appeared in giving the Scriptures Authority above the spirit and as it were dis-throning the spirit that gave forth the Scriptures and exalting the Scriptures in its place but we say that its the spirit that works all things in order to mans Salvation God works in us to will and to do all good things by his spirit that he hath given us according to the Scripture and not contrary to it for the spirit is Infallible which gave forth the Scriptures but the Scripture is changeable in translation and interpretation as we see by experience and therefore not infallible And though J. W. say First The Scriptures do make mention of all Works of Righteousness which ought to be observed by the sons of men Secondly And the Scriptures do most severely forbid all works of wickedness which ought not to be done Thirdly And the Scriptures declare of the Promise of Peace and Happiness which ought to be imbraced Fourthly And the Scriptures speaks of the punishment which God would inflict upon sinners Those are four of his Reasons page 216. by whith he would prove the Scriptures to be the Infallible Teacher of Salvation Answer Though it be true that the Scriptures do declare of every work of Righteousness which ought to be done and of works of unrighteousness which ought not to be done and of the Promises of God which ought to be embraced yet it is the spirit of God that teaches men to perform and observe that Righteousness which ought to be done and to deny that wickedness which ought not to be done and to receive the Promises of God though I say the Scriptures declares of these things yet it is the spirit of God that gave forth the Scriptures that teacheth and leadeth into these things that the Scriptures speak of and it is that spirit that is the infallible Teacher and the Scriptures are onely a declaration of the things which the spirit is infallibly to teach and as for thy fourth Reason though generally the punishment of sinners is declared in Scriptures yet it were an easie thing to mention particular punishments for particular people upon particular occasions which the Scriptures do not make mention of for I am of that mind that some of his Fraternity are at this day under a punishment for their sin which the Scripture makes no particular mention of and if he scruple it in his next return J. W. shall have particular instance in our next reply so that this reason is partly true and partly false also Deut. 28.61 t is signified that there are Plagues and punishments for sinners which are not mentioned in the Book of the Law and as for thy 5 6 7 and 8 Reasons to prove the Scriptures are an infallible Teacher all of them are much like the former and the same answer in kind may be said as thus we acknowledge the Scriptures declares sufficiently for Truth and Righteousness and against deceit and unrighteousness and of the Promises of God and threatnings for sin c. Yet still this proves not the Scriptures in themselves infallable to teach infallibly but as I have said it is onely the Spirit of God that is the infallable Teacher into all that Truth which the Scriptures declares of and by the spirit men receives power to be the Sons of God and to do his Will and not by the Scriptures and thus we give the Spirit of God its prerogative and priviledge and the Scriptures also what belongs to them but we dare not give that dignity to the Scriptures which belongs to the Spirit of God thereby abridging the Spirit of God of what belongs to it and setting up the scriptures in opposition to it as J. W. hath clearly done for want of knowledge and understanding in the Mysteries of God Again he saith The Scriptures are very far in Authority and clearness before any spirit or light in any mortal man in the world page 218. Whereby he hath clearly given more dignity and authority to the Scriptures then he hath to the Spirit of God and so hath set up the Scriptures above the Spirit which is direct errour if not Blasphemy that he should say any thing is far greater in Authority and clearness then the Spirit of God which dwells in mortal man even in his Saints and thus the result of J. W. his Reasons and Arguments about Scriptures is a clear denyal of the Spirit of God and setting the Scriptures above it furthermore he saith VVhatsoever doth make manifest is Light the Scriptures doth make manifest the Mystery of Salvation therefore the Scriptures is Light Again he saith That the Scriptures are the more sure word of Prophecy which Peter speaks of which was as a Light which shined in a dark place the Commandements of the Lord is Pure and the VVord is a Lamp unto the Feet Then he speaks of the powerful Operation of the Doctrine of the Scriptures upon the Hearts of such as believe
