is Imputation Legal-Head c. How know you the Sun is not a● Animal Whether the Baxterians or Antinomians gave me lately the name of Antichrist I know nor nor care not You Sir write of Mr. Baxter's Pile or Fabrick of Antichristian Doctrine They truly call true Crispians Antichrists Know all Men by these presents that I plead for the same Doctrine our old Reformers did against not for Antichrist Justification by Faith only But for some Men whose Malice is transparent tho Ignorance thick let them say what they will I care not Whereas the Doctor 's Advocates please themselves with the names of Mr. Alsop Mr. How Mr. Griffith Mr. Powel and others before Dr. Crisp his Book Mr. M. the Undertaker told them The Book was castrated and the old Offensive things left out Yet told Mr. Lorimer who cunningly and subtilly thus objected in his Shop against buying it said roundly No not a word is left out What a bad Ma● then are you said he to tell the Attesters so Yet this was one of the good Men Mr. Vnworthy Branch says call'd for a new Impression when all know the good Man did all for good Money and he says a Gentleman told him with Tears in his Eyes that he was troubled in Mind ten Years before he saw Dr. Crisp his Christ Exalted Was it the same Gentleman that confest he had lived in Uncleanness ten Years Better perhaps have doubted ten Years more I wish Men be not more afraid of Sorrow for Sin then committing it How are plain Texts scrued and torn not by the Doctor 's Wits I confess but Folly and make them speak what none but his wise learned self could think on Some tell us say what we will Dr. Crisp had the Gift of it to preach Free-Grace to bring Men to Faith without Repentance and to comfort Men without a Change Yes I never doubted but he had the Gifts of it too that he was paid for the Cushions he sew'd under Men's Elbows Doth his Son now enjoy the Wages of that Iniquity of the madness of the Prophet If so it is the price of Blood let the Fields be call'd the Potters Fields or the I am glad to find you jibe not at Grace as signifying inherent Righteousness as Crisp did and Mr. Toun himself Graces as they call them You indeed cite Dr. Goodwin The hand of all other Graces are working Hands but the hand of Faith is a receiving Hand Whether you are a doubter here as some are open denyers I know not If you are we will consider whether the Scriptures call them so David says He will give Grace and Glory Zachary says I will pour on the House of David and Inhabitants of Jerusalem the Spirit of Grace and Supplication John 1.16 Of his Fulness have we received Grace for Grace 2 Cor. 8.6 7. As you abound in other things see that ye abound in this Grace also Titus finish'd this Grace Charity then is a Grace Solomon speaks of the gracious Woman Colos 3.16 Singing with Grace in your Hearts to the Lord. And many other places of Scripture might be brought to prove the vanity of this wicked Notion of theirs to bring Sanctification into Contempt Observe Sir the strain of the Crispians from a Book call'd A drop of Honey from the Rock Christ He pretends to exalt Christ over all this is Crisp's pretence But I pray how or for what end did God exalt Christ Him hath God exalted with his Right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour to give Repentance not deny it to Israel for the Remission of Sins says Peter Believe saith he Christ is willing and that will make thee willing Many impeninent Men believe this without a Change nay some believe him to be indeed theirs and they think they are willing too to what To take him for a Saviour but not Lord for Faith nor Repentance He that p. 27. sets up his Sanctification to comfort him sets up the greatest Idol which will strengthen his Doubts and Fears To say without Christ who opposeth but in subordination to him Nothing is more common with Christ and the Apostles then bid Men rejoice for God's Work in them and by them Sorrow and Fear are dreadful things with these Men examining themselves is doubting questioning God's veracity and I know not what They never doubt but I and others do for them To distrust your selves is not to distrust God to question your Sincerity is not to question the divine Faithfulness Take heed you with your painted Pageantry go not to that Prison where you are lock'd up for ever without hope See this Author how he talks Christ Christ Christ as if their waxen Wings for so is Faith without Repentance would make them soar aloft Healing from Duties and not from Christ says he is the most desperate Disease Healing by Medicines and not the Physician is an Harangue Christ hath appointed them and blessed them too to the Ungodly and that without an absolute promise tho not contrary to it Would that Man be a good Subject that should cry King William O King William he is a comely King a wise King a gracious King but cares not to hear a word of his Laws Yet this Author says To believe there must go a clear Conviction of Sin Is this coming without a Change When Satan says he chargeth the Sin on thy Conscience charge thou it on Christ this is Gospel like and makes him Christ indeed Why Is it Satan's Work or the Spirit 's Work to charge Sin on the Conscience He says For Men to look to Duties Graces Enlargements is to legalize the Gospel No not as Helps Encouragements to say without Christ we grant it This is therefore not their meaning or they talk unintelligibly or worse All Grace we all grant is from God as the Fountain and Spring from Christ by way of Purchase and Procurement from the Spirit by way of immediate Efficiency Ezek. 36.26 A new Heart will I give you and a new Spirit will I put within you and I will take away the stony Heart out of your Flesh and I will give you an Heart of Flesh Then ye shall walk in my Statutes I will be your God The first reason from which all springs is God's Will and the last his Glory Observe what gross Reflections they make on Grace and Duty as if they were frighted out of their Wits if ever they had any Say next I am all for the Sun I care not so much for the Light and Heat coming from it These would be perpetual Dictators tho their mode of talking be Mad and Frantick if they talk sometimes Pious so would Oliver's Porter Is his Chamber void Confidence is not Demonstration tho an I Experience be clapt to it You Sir being so great a Dissenter I pray let me ask you one little question How came you to magnify Dr. Crisp a Liturgical Man and vilify others If you say Fox tells us of a Martyr that

not I will beg pardon of God and the Crispians for wronging him but if I do prove it I c●… the Throat of Crispianism and undeceive some of his deluded Followers who cannot believe this Charge You take no notice of ●his damnable Heresy vindicate him here if you can You say Sir If a Man be justified before he believes then he is not justified by Faith Every School-boy will tell you hath been is the Preterperfectence Rare discoveries and such may tell you that hath is put for the Future shall be else Christ was Incarnate before Isaiah wrote But these and many other things I have consider'd in my Three contending Brethren Apology and New-Years-Gift and thither I refer you If Dr. Owen say you was not a Crispian I know not who was Say I if Dr. Owen was not an Anti-Crispian I know not who was and this will I make good if we meet as before You say p. 16. They censure the Doctor for condemning Graces and good Works in the Popish and meritorious sense and that this is the plain Grammar of all our Virulency against him All our Prayers Tears Meltings cannot make God lay our Iniquities on Christ A profound Assertion When Dr. Crisp said it Mr. Edwards replied who ever said they did You call him Doeg and p. 18. say that God will remember Amalek for standing in the way of God's Israel and that with an obliterating Remembrance False Prophets say you acted by a lying Spirit That the Man of Sin notwithstanding all his Wickedness is call'd his Holiness Christ is the Lord our Righteousnest All the Popes profest or practical Adherents We have Copies of the Council of Trent fleeing about our Ears in various Pamphlets against Dr. Crisp or rather his Doctrin which is the Scripture Doctrin of Justification No Man can believe you nor you your self Sir be sober and let not your arrows flee at random Are Calvinists Amalekites as well as Baxterians Doth the Pope's name make Holiness less lovely than an Arch-bishop's GRACE makes Free Grace so Arminianism and Socinianism say you p. 25. lies in our Author's treachery tho he owns a commutative imputation of Sin and Righteousness between Christ and Believers Will not the granting of this do You say p. 26. Most absconded Sir your cask smells of Socinianism c. I have spent some time to consider what makes you so waspish and in such fits of Raving Is it a turbulent brawling Creature at home If so I pity you Some at first give them their Authority and call for it too late It is storied of Semiramis she desired Ninus she might Reign in his stead nine days he granted his supplicant Wife this thing in which time she put him to death and took the Government on her self It is not safe to let a Woman reign nine Days nine Days did I say no not nine Hours Mrs. B. was too much Master at home and would do what she pleas'd Such Men must be pitied as well as blamed Now Sir whatever you and I differ in I heartily agree with you in the close of your Book of what Mr. Edwards says after his Censure of Dr. Crisp's Doctrine That he hopes he was a good Man This is say you a perfect Riddle It is a great one too to me Mr. Edwards Mr. Williams that have so said deserve I think your Reprimand Seeing you at last Rhime an Epitaph on Dr. Crisp I will think of it Yours begins Great Carbonado'd Crisp what 's now thy Crown And was thy Glory here is trampled down c. Frightful word Carbonado'd Where is he Is he broiling I should not like it if any had made such an Epitaph as one did on a notorious Knave If Heaven be pleas'd when Men do cease from Sin If Hell be pleas'd when it a Soul doth win If the World be pleas'd when it hath lost a Knave Then all are pleas'd is in his Grave Carbonado'd Crisp I cannot get the word out of my Mind such a word might provoke one of us to Rhyme as foolishly as you and so to deserve to be as severely reprov'd Suppose I should make this Epitaph Crisp did not fear to be whilst here Compunctions Enemy Where he 's now sent he must repent To all Eternity None in the least ever profest This Grace to have disgrac'd Satan alone and Crisp his Son In this are both barefac'd He that did say David did stray When Sin his burden was A burden be finds Sin to be And ever cries Alas Would you not say it were rashly done and that I had made him a Carbonado'd Man as well as you Come now and let us reason together I do acknowledg I look not on you as the worst sort of Crispians I know you would make Dr. Crisp to speak better than he intended and you pass by my Charge about Repentance Because some of my Friends are offended with a passage in my last Book That Dr. Crisp his Book was worse than the Racovian Catechism and say it was a word of Passion I say no I use no Hyperbole in it but will now prove it Next to the Notion of a God nothing is a greater Principle in natural Religion than Repentance even to bitterness for Contempt of this God affronting his Authority and offering violence to the Laws and Methods of Heaven and therefore Dr. Crisp in scoffing at such Repentance hath struck at one of the greatest Principles in natural Religion Now whether God may be merciful to some Socinians such as Mr. Fermin and others we are not all agreed but we are all agreed even those who assert the Salvation of Heathen by the light of Nature That none can be saved without Repentance and bitterness for Sin Neither can I see that I am bound to be burdened for the Sins of others for if they be Converted the great Sacrifice is offered up and Christ hath born the burden if they be not Converted they may be Elected for ought I know and be converted in time Why then if Rivers of Waters run down our Eyes because Men keep not God's Laws we Sin after David in this also If with Lot our Souls be grieved from Day to Day for the filthy Conversations of the Wicked This will not prove us to have righteous Souls with Lot but legal Spirits Paul's great Heaviness and continual Sorrow in his Heart for his Kinsmen according to the Flesh was not commendable but culpable O God of infinite Patience and Goodness whence is it that when thine Enemy made Repentance Compunction bitterness of Spirit feeling Sin a burden to be so far from being a Duty a necessary one as thou hast made it that with him it became a Sin of debasing of Christ and so scoff'd at thou hadst not sent him to Hell immediately to cry Alas there who ●idicul'd it here Blind Toby could not see the Absurdities he on all occasions committed as when he tells us we are to do no Duties to profit our selves but others
