A87231	The Quakers quaking: or, the foundation of their deceit shaken, by scripture, reason, their own mouthes at several conferences. By all which will appear, that their quaking, ministery, doctrine, and lives, is a meer deceit, and themselves proved to be the great impostors of these latter times: / by Jeremiah Ives.	Ives, Jeremiah, fl. 1653-1674.	1656 (1656)	Wing I1103; Thomason E883_3; ESTC R207296	36,620	64

the_o flesh_n to_o this_o i_o do_v reply_v say_v that_o i_o have_v hear_v it_o report_v that_o the_o quaker_n shall_v deny_v christ_n to_o be_v bear_v according_a to_o the_o flesh_n but_o i_o never_o

with_o the_o fig-leaf_n of_o this_o distinction_n viz._n that_o it_o be_v one_o thing_n for_o christ_n to_o be_v bear_v after_o the_o flesh_n and_o another_o thing_n to_o be_v bear_v according_a to_o the_o flesh_n to_o this_o i_o reply_v that_o the_o scripture_n make_v no_o such_o distinction_n for_o when_o moses_n do_v all_o thing_n according_a to_o the_o pattern_n show_v he_o in_o the_o mount_n heb._n 8.5_o do_v but_o compare_v it_o with_o the_o command_n in_o exod._n 5.40_o and_o you_o will_v find_v that_o god_n bid_v moses_n look_v that_o he_o make_v thing_n after_o the_o fashion_n show_v he_o in_o the_o mount_n now_o may_v not_o a_o man_n as_o well_o say_v that_o moses_n do_v not_o do_v thing_n after_o the_o pattern_n because_o the_o scripture_n say_v he_o do_v it_o according_a to_o the_o pattern_n as_o this_o man_n may_v say_v christ_n be_v not_o bear_v after_o the_o flesh_n because_o the_o scripture_n say_v he_o be_v bear_v according_a to_o the_o flesh_n therefore_o let_v i_o ask_v one_o question_n whether_o a_o man_n may_v not_o as_o well_o say_v that_o moses_n do_v not_o all_o thing_n after_o the_o pattern_n because_o the_o scripture_n say_v he_o do_v all_o thing_n according_a to_o the_o pattern_n as_o say_v that_o christ_n be_v not_o bear_v after_o the_o flesh_n because_o the_o scripture_n say_v he_o be_v bear_v according_a to_o the_o flesh_n but_o further_a that_o you_o may_v see_v that_o there_o be_v no_o place_n for_o this_o distinction_n about_o the_o case_n in_o hand_n do_v but_o take_v notice_n that_o beza_n render_v the_o text_n in_o gal._n 4.29_o where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o abraham_n have_v a_o son_n bear_v after_o the_o flesh_n etc._n etc._n sed_fw-la quemadmodum_fw-la tunc_fw-la be_v qui_fw-la secundum_fw-la carnem_fw-la word_n for_o

the_o flesh_n as_o it_o be_v to_o deny_v he_o to_o be_v bear_v according_a to_o the_o flesh_n and_o therefore_o where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o christ_n be_v bear_v according_a to_o the_o flesh_n in_o

these_o man_n you_o see_v be_v force_v to_o take_v sanctuary_n at_o any_o vain_a distinction_n that_o may_v keep_v the_o world_n from_o see_v into_o the_o bottom_n of_o their_o design_n which_o be_v indeed_o to_o deny_v christ_n to_o be_v make_v flesh_n or_o to_o be_v come_v in_o the_o flesh_n for_o be_v it_o not_o the_o same_o to_o say_v that_o he_o be_v not_o bear_v after_o the_o flesh_n this_o be_v the_o sum_n of_o the_o last_o conference_n with_o some_o additional_a answer_n that_o i_o have_v not_o then_o liberty_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o confusion_n that_o be_v among_o they_o to_o give_v
