A81734	The Quakers folly made manifest to all men: or a true relation of what passed in three disputations at Sandwich, April, 12, 13, 19, 1659. between three Quakers, and a minister, viz. Mr. Samuel Fisher, George Whithead, Richard Hubberthorn, and Thomas Danson wherein many popish tenents were by them maintained, and by him refuted. Occasioned by an imperfect and (in many things) false relation of the said disputations, published by R. Hubberthorn, one of the three Quakers, which said relation is also censur'd and amended. Together with a brief narrative of some remarkable passages. / By Tho. Danson, late fellow of Magd. Coll. Oxon, and now minister of the Gospel at Sandwich in Kent.	Danson, Thomas, d. 1694.	1659 (1659)	Wing D215; Thomason E2255_3; ESTC R34492	40,882	71

humane_a nature_n and_o a_o righteousness_n whereof_o he_o be_v the_o efficient_a but_o not_o the_o subject_n nor_o be_v it_o ever_o formal_o existent_a in_o he_o as_o the_o spirit_n be_v in_o the_o

of_o one_o species_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o subject_n and_o use_v of_o they_o that_o i_o deny_v that_o the_o saint_n be_v justify_v by_o that_o christ_n hat_n be_v in_o they_o reply_v i_o may_v say_v to_o thou_o r._n h._n as_o david_n to_o doeg_n thou_o love_v lie_v rather_o than_o to_o speak_v righteousness_n psal_n 52.3_o i_o deny_v that_o the_o saint_n be_v justify_v by_o christ_n within_o they_o i._n e._n by_o the_o work_n of_o christ_n within_o they_o which_o have_v in_o that_o phrase_n the_o name_n of_o the_o efficient_a give_v to_o they_o by_o a_o metonymy_n but_o not_o that_o they_o be_v justify_v by_o that_o christ_n that_o be_v in_o they_o and_o when_o one_o of_o the_o quaker_n prate_v to_o the_o same_o purpose_n with_o this_o man_n that_o i_o make_v two_o christ_n i_o express_o tell_v he_o my_o meaning_n to_o be_v not_o by_o christ_n as_o in_o the_o saint_n but_o as_o far_o be_v the_o word_n from_o my_o mouth_n as_o the_o thought_n from_o my_o heart_n

answer_v that_o i_o say_v the_o passage_n heb._n 12.23_o spirit_n of_o just_a man_n make_v perfect_a be_v mean_v of_o they_o in_o heaven_n not_o on_o earth_n which_o say_v r._n h._n can_v be_v because_o the_o apostle_n write_v to_o they_o on_o earth_n and_o do_v not_o write_v to_o man_n after_o they_o be_v decease_v reply_n the_o apostle_n intend_v that_o it_o be_v the_o privilege_n of_o the_o saint_n on_o earth_n who_o be_v unperfect_a to_o be_v one_o body_n and_o society_n with_o they_o in_o heaven_n who_o be_v perfect_a and_o this_o he_o may_v say_v though_o the_o person_n he_o

and_o his_o righteousness_n be_v in_o the_o saint_n reply_n put_v in_o any_o man_n instead_o of_o any_o creature_n which_o be_v not_o my_o phrase_n and_o add_v to_o within_o but_o we_o and_o i_o acknowledge_v the_o whole_a sentence_n and_o to_o your_o argument_n from_o the_o union_n between_o christ_n and_o the_o saint_n i_o say_v but_o this_o that_o if_o it_o make_v we_o to_o be_v the_o subject_n of_o whatever_o christ_n be_v the_o subject_n because_o he_o be_v in_o we_o than_o i_o hope_v it_o will_v make_v christ_n the_o subject_n of_o whatever_o we_o be_v because_o we_o be_v in_o

they_o a_o part_n in_o the_o inheritance_n reply_n see_v the_o baseness_n of_o this_o man_n he_o will_v make_v the_o reader_n believe_v that_o i_o deny_v the_o father_n give_v right_a and_o
