C. Also boasteth of the Spirit To be more fully manifested in him then it was in the Saints that gave forth the Scriptures pag. 1. Answ The lying spirit which was cast out of the Saints by the power of the Spirit of truth in a large manner is manifest in thee as thy fruits makes it appear and thou may be ashamed to boast thus of thy spirit who said in the hearing of séveral honest people Thou had nought of God in thee it is the lying imagination of thy corrupt fleshly wisdom which thou calls the Inspiration of the Spirit by which thou art deceived and deluded and seeks to deceive and delude others but the Elect are out of thy reach and fathomes thee L. C. Saith Moses the Prophets and Apostles never rightly understood neither was required of them to know Christ in their Commission any other but God the Father P. 4. Answ That is false Moses knew a Prophet should arise like unto him which the people should hear which was Christ the Son of God the Prophet knew a Virgin should conceive and bear a Son and call his Name Emanuel and said Unto us a Son is given c. and the Apostles knew the Father Word and Spirit to be one and there was them that were witnesses of his birth Acts 3.15 sufferings and Resurrection which thou knows nothing of but by tradition the Apostles were eye-witnesses of him who was born of the Virgin and knew him in the flesh a single person and after his death and Resurrection were to know him no more 2 Cor. 5.

C. Affirmeth That the wisdom of Solomon was but natural P. 5. and in the 6. p. saith Solomons writings were no Scripture nor the writings of Job p. 7. Answ The wisdom God gave unto Solomon was pure and spiritual it is contrary to the disposition and nature of God to give gifts unto his people 1 Kings 3.12 contrary to himself that is natural in thee which wrongs the Lord and calls Solomons wisdom Gods gift natural 1 Kings 3.28 it is manifest thou sees not with the eye of Faith as thou conceives but art deceived by the prince of darkness the old serpent who goes about through thy policy to turn the truth into a lye but the serpent with all his subtilty cannot prove the writings of Solomon to be no Scripture nor perswade such as fear the Lord to any such thing none but such as are given up to believe lyes will credit thee for his writings are truth and the other Scripture is no more And as for the writings of Righteous Job whom thou confessest Righteous who saw the Lord of Glory Job 42.5 they are also to be believed and not scrupled to be truth given forth from the Spirit of truth and to be as true as the writings of the Prophets and Apostles and thou art Judged out of the truth in the lye by the Righteous Spirit which was manifest in Job who Judges with thy lying spirit all the translaters and composers of the Scriptures who put Job Solomons writings amongst the Prophets and Apostles L. C. Likewise affirmeth That the Scriptures were written for our learning to know God c. p. 11.
