A96990	A vindication of W.P. from the erronious [sic] and false testimony of Thomas Budd: being in answer to a sheet of his, entituled, A testimony for truth, against error. / By Joseph Wyeth.	Wyeth, Joseph, 1663-1731.	1697 (1697)	Wing W3763; ESTC R186899	10,261	29

comes by Actual Righteousness and not Imputative There are Three more Conclusions which follow and which for brevity sake I omit willing only to recite so much as may take in all that T. Budd has here and there pick'd to make up his Quotation only next immediately after the Three Conclusions which I say I have left out there follows a short Confession of our Faith which it may be of Service to the Honest-minded to publish as also a Testimony against the Apostacy Hypocricy and Envy of T. Budd who could not but see it when he mangled that part of the Book as he thought for his Service It is in p. 149. VVe do believe only in one Holy God Almighty who is an Eternal Spirit the Creator of all Things And one Lord Jesus Christ his only Son and Express Image of his Substance who took upon him Flesh and was in the VVorld and in Life Doctrine Miracles Death Resurrection Ascension and Mediation perfectly did and does continue to do the Will of God to whose Holy Life Power Mediation and Blood we only ascribe our Sanctification Justification Redemption and perfect Salvation And we believe in one Holy Spirit that proceeds and breaths from the Father and the Son as the Life and Virtue of both the Father and the Son a measure of which is given to all to profit with and he that has One has all for those Three are One who is the Alpha and the Omega the First and the Last God over all Blessed for ever Amen T. Budd's Sixth Charge against VV. P. is The Denying the Messiah the Christ of God for which he Cites a Book Entituled The Christian Quaker written by G. VV. and W. P. against the Injurious Attempts of many Adversaries and it will stand against the weak though black Attempts of this Man who in this Quotation of his has with a hardned Face cut a Sentence a-sunder in the midst which I question whether any Spanish Inquisitor has yet done when he willingly raked in a Book for Heresie his Quotation is thus Chr. Quaker p. 96. Abraham saw my Day and Rejoyced They still harping upon that visible Body not Thirty Years Old Replied Thou art not yet Fifty and hast thou seen Abraham Taking that to be the Messiah the Christ of God and Saviour of the World he meant which they saw with their Carnal Eyes I shall now give the Quotation from the Book it self but am obliged to Recite the whole Paragraph the above Quotation being in the middle and the whole being so dependant upon every part that it cannot without some hurt to the meaning of the whole be separated it is thus Chr. Quaker p. 96. Before I conclude take this notable saying of Christ to the Jews and what may be collected from it to our purpose Before Abraham was I am Abraham saw my Day and Rejoyced John 8. 56 57 58. which affords us briefly thus much That though he was not so visibly come yet it was the very same HE that came about One Thousand Six Hundred Years ago who was with the Fathers of Old and that Abraham who Lived Nineteen Hundred Years before that outward Appearance saw him and his Day If this be not the import of the place I know none for the Jews not believing him to be the Messiah thought it high Persumption for him to compare with Abraham Art thou greater than our Father Abraham who is Dead and the Prophets are Dead Vnto which he answered that he might prove himself to be the true Messiah the Christ of God the foregoing part of this Sentence as also the explanatory Parenthesis T. B. cut off and begins his here Abraham saw my Day and rejoyced They still harped upon that Visible Body not Thirty-three Years Old replied Thou art not yet Fifty and hast thou seen Abraham Taking that to be the Messiah the Christ of God and Saviour of the World he meant which they saw with their Carnal Eyes To which he rejoyned with a Verily Verily I say unto you before Abraham was I am then took they up Stones to cast at him c. By all which it is most clear that unless our Adversaries will deny him that so spoke which yet T. Hicks 's Anti-Scriptural Opinion doth imply to be Christ who singled and distinguish'd himself as the Messiah the Christ of God and Saviour of the World from that Visible Body not Fifty Years Old indeed both Christ that spoke then must needs have been long before Abraham 's Time and that such Holy Ancients were not without a sight and prospect of him and the day of his Glorious Appearance or that most Signal Manifestation of himself in that Body prepared for that Great and Holy Purpose witness the exceeding Clear and Heavenly Prophecies that were as so many Fore-runners or Introductions of the Evangelical State This true Quotation does sufficiently shew W. P. to own and believe in the Messiah the Christ of God I come now to T. Budd's Seventh Charge viz. Christ the Son of the Virgin denied by W. P. to be the Seed of the Promise In this Charge T. Budd has hid his head he having made a Quotation but named no Book nor any Page where his I doubt not false Quotation may be found therefore I pass it by without notice T. Budd's Eighth Charge is The Resurrection of the Body denied by W. P. The Book he quotes is W. P 's Rejoynder to John Faldo p. 369 370. his Quotation runs thus W. P. saith But suppose J. F 's Relative it to hold I do deny that this Text viz. It is Sown a Natural Body it is Raised a Spiritual Body is concerned in the Resurrection of Man's Carnal Body at all I say this doth not concern the Resurrection of Carnal Bodies but the two States of Men under the first and Second Adam In this as in the former he has plaid the Inquisitor taking here and there a Line as best liked him only his pretence may be more fairly made for clipping this than any of the former for they were all English but here is a little Greek and Latin yet of the English he has not taken all he ought and might have done I will Recite the two Paragraphs out of which he has pillaged his Quotation The Greek Text is first set down and then the Latin Translation it runs thus 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 1 Cor. 15. 44. Seritur Corpus animale resuscitatur corpus spirituale i. e. A Natural Body is Sown a Spiritual Body is Raised That is They lay down a Natural and take up a Spiritual Body or in lieu of a Natural receive a Spiritual Body not that the Natural Body shall be Transubstantiated into a Spiritual Body or that admitting of such an exchange that the Spiritual is the same Numerical Body that was the Natural for so the Natural and Spiritual Body would be one and the same but suppose J. Faldo 's Relative It to hold I do utterly deny that this
