A77832 A vindication of the book called, Some Gospel-truths opened; according to the Scriptures, and the opposition made against it by Edward Borrough, a professed Quaker, (but proved an enemie to the truth) examined and confuted by the word of God. And also, the things that were then laid down, and declared to the world by me, are a second-time born witness to, according to truth: with the answer of Edward Burrough to the quæries then laid down in my book reproved. And also, a plain answer to his quæries, given in simplicitie of soul; and is now also presented to the world, or who else may read, or hear them; to the end (if God will) that truth may be discovered thereby. / by John Bunyan ... Bunyan, John, 1628-1688.; Burrough, Edward, 1634-1662.; Bunyan, John, 1628-1688. Some gospel-truths opened according to the Scriptures. 1657 (1657) Wing B5606; ESTC R170889 81,202 76

if_o thou_o do_v this_o be_v a_o delusion_n and_o a_o dangerous_a doctrine_n for_o a_o spirit_n have_v not_o flesh_n and_o bone_n and_o so_o have_v the_o man_n christ_n jesus_n now_o it_o may_v be_v you_o think_v far_o that_o the_o church_n with_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n be_v the_o man_n christ_n jesus_n which_o be_v also_o a_o damnable_a heresy_n therefore_o speak_v plain_o do_v thou_o believe_v that_o the_o man_n christ_n jesus_n be_v ascend_v from_o his_o person_n in_o his_o person_n and_o again_o do_v thou_o believ_n that_o he_o which_o ascend_v from_o his_o disciple_n do_v bring_v in_o everlasting_a salvation_n for_o they_o in_o that_o his_o body_n which_o ascend_v from_o they_o a_o answer_n to_o this_o may_v give_v great_a satisfaction_n to_o soul_n if_o also_o it_o may_v be_v make_v in_o word_n easy_o to_o be_v understand_v again_o thou_o be_v also_o offend_v with_o the_o second_o deceit_n which_o i_o lay_v down_o in_o my_o epistle_n which_o be_v say_v i_o for_o the_o devil_n to_o bid_v soul_n follow_v that_o light_n which_o they_o bring_v into_o the_o world_n wi●h_v they_o tell_v they_o that_o that_o will_v lead_v they_o to_o the_o kingdom_n now_o thou_o seem_v gravel_v because_o i_o say_v which_o they_o bring_v into_o the_o world_n with_o they_o if_o thou_o be_v offend_v at_o that_o show_v i_o when_o and_o at_o what_o time_n every_o soul_n receiu_v a_o light_n from_o christ_n after_o it_o come_v into_o the_o world_n now_o this_o i_o say_v that_o every_o man_n have_v not_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n within_o he_o j●d_n 17._o and_o that_o there_o be_v nothing_o that_o can_v show_v the_o soul_n the_o thing_n of_o christ_n saving_o but_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n 1._o cor._n 2.11_o then_o will_v not_o you_o yourself_o confess_v that_o he_o be_v delude_v that_o be_v persuade_v to_o follow_v that_o light_n that_o can_v reveal_v christ_n unto_o he_o but_o i_o must_v mind_v you_o of_o one_o filthy_a error_n also_o which_o thou_o lay_v down_o in_o page_n 10._o corrupt_v the_o scripture_n to_o make_v it_o good_a but_o in_o vain_a where_o thou_o say_v that_o light_n which_o every_o man_n be_v lighten_v withal_o will_v lead_v unto_o the_o kingdom_n of_o peace_n and_o righteousness_n and_o then_o thou_o adde_v for_o say_v christ_n i_o be_o the_o light_n of_o the_o world_n he_o that_o follow_v i_o shall_v not_o abide_v in_o darkness_n or_o walk_v in_o darkness_n pray_v mark_v first_o thou_o call_v it_o the_o light_n of_o christ_n wherewith_o he_o have_v lighten_v every_o one_o and_o here_o thou_o come_v a_o step_n high_o and_o call_v it_o christ_n himself_o and_o then_o corrupte_v that_o scripture_n where_o the_o son_n of_o mary_n say_v i_o be_o the_o light_n of_o the_o world_n etc._n etc._n here_o thou_o will_v very_o willing_o have_v room_n to_o broach_v thy_o folly_n but_o it_o may_v not_o be_v for_o though_o christ_n be_v the_o light_n of_o the_o world_n yet_o he_o be_v not_o in_o every_o one_o in_o the_o

of_o the_o world_n he_o be_v without_o they_o and_o walk_v up_o and_o down_o in_o the_o world_n with_o they_o from_o place_n to_o place_n a_o very_a man_n therefore_o he_o do_v not_o mean_a at_o that_o time_n any_o light_n within_o but_o himself_o who_o be_v without_o and_o indeed_o they_o who_o will_v follow_v christ_n aright_o must_v follow_v he_o without_o to_o the_o cross_n without_o for_o justification_n on_o mount_n calvary_n without_o that_o be_v they_o must_v seek_v for_o justification_n by_o his_o obedience_n without_o to_o the_o grave_n without_o and_o to_o his_o

which_o say_v be_v without_o i_o be_o the_o light_n of_o the_o world_n he_o that_o follow_v i_o shall_v not_o abide_v in_o darkness_n but_o shall_v have_v the_o light_n of_o life_n deny_v this_o that_o christ_n be_v without_o when_o he_o speak_v those_o word_n i_o be_o the_o light_n of_o the_o world_n if_o you_o can_v but_o to_o come_v more_o close_o to_o the_o thing_n that_o light_n wherewith_o christ_n as_o he_o be_v god_n have_v lighten_v every_o one_o that_o come_v into_o the_o world_n be_v the_o soul_n of_o man_n which_o be_v the_o life_n of_o the_o body_n and_o yet_o

of_o christ_n yet_o will_v convince_v of_o sin_n as_o be_v clear_a from_o that_o 8._o of_o john_n where_o the_o woman_n be_v mention_v who_o be_v take_v in_o adultery_n by_o the_o pharise_n or_o

and_o what_o then_o when_o they_o hear_v that_o they_o be_v convict_v by_o their_o own_o conscience_n mark_v he_o do_v not_o say_v by_o the_o light_n of_o christ_n in_o their_o conscience_n as_o

even_o to_o the_o last_o for_o they_o all_o have_v conscience_n though_o not_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n so_o that_o friend_n here_o be_v something_o beside_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n that_o

of_o christ_n except_o they_o be_v guide_v by_o a_o delude_a spirit_n again_o thou_o say_v he_o that_o convince_v of_o sin_n against_o the_o law_n lead_v up_o to_o the_o fulfil_n of_o the_o law_n friend_n thy_o conscience_n convince_v of_o sin_n against_o the_o law_n follow_v thy_o conscience_n it_o may_v lead_v thou_o under_o the_o curse_n of_o the_o law_n through_o its_o weakness_n but_o

either_o then_o christ_n be_v dead_a in_o vain_a gal._n 2.21_o again_o thou_o say_v that_o i_o and_o my_o generation_n will_v leap_v over_o the_o law_n answ_n for_o justification_n we_o look_v

and_o again_o do_v corrupt_v my_o word_n i_o this_o be_v another_o of_o his_o false_a accusation_n of_o i_o for_o i_o say_v now_o they_o will_v not_o speak_v except_o their_o spirit_n move_v they_o

8_o 9_o now_o say_v i_o sometime_o the_o law_n itself_o by_o its_o own_o power_n do_v manifest_a sin_n as_o in_o the_o case_n of_o judas_n who_o be_v so_o far_o from_o have_v the_o spirit_n of_o
