A60620	A briefe answer unto a book intituled Shetinah, or, A demonstration of the divine presence in places of religious worship published by Iohn Stillingfleet, who stiles himself M.A. rector of Beckingham in Lincoln-shire, and late fellow of St. Iohns Colledge in Cambridge. In which book he hath declared many perverse things against the people of God (called Quakers,) and for so much as is considerable, wherein that people are any way concerned, it is in the power of God here answered, by one who is set for the defence of the Gospel, William Smith.	Smith, William, d. 1673.	1664 (1664)	Wing S4290; ESTC R220735	21,376	28

word_n then_o how_o can_v a_o ungodly_a man_n preach_v it_o and_o not_o corrupt_v it_o and_o this_o matter_n be_v reduce_v out_o of_o thy_o general_a term_n and_o state_v particular_o into_o such_o as_o it_o do_v proper_o belong_v than_o we_o can_v true_o say_v that_o god_n presence_n be_v in_o his_o worship_n by_o his_o minister_n and_o that_o they_o be_v his_o ambassador_n and_o steward_n of_o his_o mystery_n but_o we_o dare_v not_o say_v that_o so_o it_o be_v with_o ungodly_a man_n or_o that_o the_o ministry_n of_o ungodly_a man_n do_v work_v to_o the_o conversion_n of_o soul_n or_o production_n of_o save_a faith_n some_o few_o particular_n of_o this_o chapter_n i_o shall_v answer_v thou_o say_v it_o be_v so_o certain_a a_o truth_n that_o if_o the_o minister_n be_v bad_a yet_o if_o he_o preach_v the_o pure_a word_n of_o god_n we_o must_v receive_v the_o word_n because_o we_o be_v not_o so_o much_o to_o regard_v the_o man_n preach_v as_o the_o word_n preach_v answ_n no_o lie_n be_v of_o the_o truth_n for_o it_o be_v as_o possible_a that_o the_o east_n and_o west_n shall_v join_v together_o as_o for_o a_o bad_a man_n or_o a_o ungodly_a man_n to_o preach_v the_o pure_a word_n of_o god_n for_o god_n do_v not_o make_v use_n of_o such_o man_n to_o be_v his_o ambassador_n or_o steward_n neither_o can_v such_o work_v together_o with_o god_n in_o any_o service_n for_o he_o because_o it_o be_v inconsistent_a with_o the_o pure_a nature_n of_o god_n to_o be_v a_o co-worker_n with_o a_o ungodly_a man_n for_o a_o ungodly_a man_n be_v against_o god_n and_o god_n be_v against_o all_o his_o ungodliness_n and_o these_o can_v possible_o work_v together_o in_o man_n be_v that_o they_o be_v contrary_a in_o nature_n one_o to_o the_o other_o and_o yet_o thou_o fear_v not_o to_o go_v about_o to_o prove_v this_o ungodly_a assertion_n from_o the_o ministry_n of_o judas_n and_o say_v that_o of_o all_o of_o they_o christ_n say_v he_o that_o receive_v you_o receive_v i_o and_o yet_o one_o of_o they_o be_v judas_n iscariot_n who_o also_o betray_v he_o then_o thou_o say_v we_o may_v plain_o see_v by_o christ_n own_o word_n we_o may_v receive_v christ_n by_o the_o ministry_n of_o judas_n a_o traitor_n nay_o say_v thou_o i_o may_v say_v a_o devil_n answ_n thou_o be_v get_v into_o high_a profaneness_n for_o when_o judas_n be_v send_v forth_o with_o the_o rest_n he_o have_v part_n in_o the_o ministry_n but_o when_o treacherous_a thought_n do_v rise_v in_o he_o and_o that_o the_o devil_n stir_v he_o up_o to_o act_v his_o treachery_n he_o be_v never_o a_o minister_n of_o christ_n after_o that_o and_o it_o may_v be_v read_v in_o the_o first_o of_o act_n where_o the_o disciple_n pray_v and_o say_v show_v which_o of_o these_o two_o thou_o have_v choose_v that_o he_o may_v take_v part_n of_o this_o ministry_n and_o apostleship_n from_o which_o judas_n by_o transgression_n fall_v mark_v it_o and_o consider_v thy_o assertion_n thou_o say_v that_o every_o saint_n shall_v have_v their_o garment_n die_v white_a in_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o lamb_n much_o more_o christ_n steward_n they_o shall_v be_v clothe_v with_o the_o white_a robe_n of_o sincerity_n to_o act_v unfeigned_o for_o god_n answ_n these_o be_v only_a word_n as_o if_o one_o proud_a man_n shall_v bid_v another_o be_v humble_a or_o one_o drunkard_n bid_v another_o be_v sober_a and_o tell_v they_o it_o shall_v be_v so_o but_o view_v thyself_o and_o the_o rest_n which_o thou_o look_v upon_o to_o be_v steward_n and_o see_v if_o thou_o can_v find_v it_o so_o indeed_o and_o if_o not_o than_o you_o be_v not_o as_o you_o shall_v be_v by_o thy_o own_o confession_n and_o if_o christ_n steward_n shall_v have_v their_o garment_n so_o die_v then_o sure_o no_o bad_a man_n or_o ungodly_a man_n can_v stand_v in_o that_o office_n neither_o be_v it_o possible_a that_o any_o such_o shall_v act_v unfeigned_o for_o god_n but_o who_o be_v his_o steward_n indeed_o through_o the_o sanctification_n
