1. If to the Body or Flesh he took then the Body was above and more excellent than his Soul and the Flesh above the Spirit 2. And if so then the Son of God either was not or was not Christ before he took the Body Oh! horrible Ignorance How now F. B. Why did not thy Minister stop thee from running into such Socinianism Whither art thou run in thy Opposition and Creed-making to render the Quakers horrible Blasphemers As to J. P.'s words chiefly objected That we cannot call the Bodily Garment Christ The word Garment I take to be only a figurative manner of speaking as the word Vail which is his Flesh is Heb. 10.20 An Ingenious Man would allow him his own meaning as he explains it namely That we cannot call the Body which he took upon him chiefly and in the first place Jesus Christ It not being first nor the intire Christ because he was the Son of God and consequently Christ before he took upon him that Body even when God created all things by Jesus Christ 2. A Question Creed 2. If any have felt the saving Arm of the Lord a measure of the same Life Power and Anointing revealed in us and in our Vessels as was in his Is it not of the same Nature c. Is not Christ the Seed If this Seed grow up in me is not Christ then formed in me If I be ingrafted into and grow in it am not I ingrafted into Christ Is not this the same Christ that took upon him a Body of Flesh and offered it without the Gates of Jerusalem To all which we say Yea Is there any more Christ's than one Or is there any other than he Is Christ divided Is there one Christ within another without To all which we say Nay Our Adversary concluding his Remark hereupon That if the same Christ that offered up that Body be IN them as they say even the very same that suffered Death at Jerusalem then he cries out Oh! horrible Blasphemy Pray then observe this Opposer's contrary Creed e converso 1. That a measure of the same Life Power and Anointing revealed in us as was in Christ is not of the same Nature what pure Nonsense is this 2. That Christ is not the Seed or that Christ is not formed in them that are ingrafted into him and grow up in him 3. That this Seed Christ into which true Believers are ingrafted is not the same Christ that took on him the Body of Flesh and offer'd it without the Gates of Jerusalem Oh horrible Ignorance the Seed Christ is but one and the same indivisible Christ 4. That there 's more Christ's than one there 's one without another within another than him that took the Body that suffered at Jerusalem or that Christ is divided Oh horrible Antichristianism thus to oppose and deny Christ within the Word of Faith ingrafted and consequently Christ's coming in Spirit as not the same Christ that came and suffered in the Flesh contrary to the express Testimonies of the holy Prophets and Apostles and of Christ himself which are for the one Seed the one Lord Jesus Christ as both in the Flesh and in the Spirit the word of Faith the ingrafted word who is not divided even the same Christ that suffered in the Flesh being spiritually in true Believers read Joh. 17.23 26. I in them and they in me c. Whence I argue If it was the same Jesus Christ that offered up the Body that said these words I in them and they in me then the same Jesus Christ is in true Believers But it was the same Jesus Christ c. Creed 3. To whom do the Names and Ti●●● 〈…〉 and in the first place belong Do they belong to the 〈◊〉 which was took by him or to him who took 〈◊〉 Body c. They belong chiefly and in the 〈◊〉 place to him the Son of God who took 〈◊〉 Body in J. P.'s Sense But this Creed ma●● F. B. objects viz. That the natural consequence of 〈◊〉 is 1. That the Names Jesus and Christ do no●● properly belong to the Body as to the Treas●● in the Body That here they separate that which 〈◊〉 hath for ever joyned together False by the 〈◊〉 we may distinguish where we do not separat●● Then do but turn these Questions cited into F. ● contrary sense in opposition to that of J.

That the Names and Titles JESVS and CHRIST do not CHIEF●Y and in● FIRST PLACE belong to him i. e. the So●● God who took the Body but chiefly and in the 〈◊〉 place to the Body which he took upon him which 〈◊〉 prepared for him Behold this Creed-mak●● Creed How Unchristian in it self and A 〈◊〉 christian in its natural consequence suppo●●● Jesus Christ the Son of God was not in being ●●fore his Incarnation Oh horrible Antichr●●anism against which I propose these Ar●ments 1. If Jesus Christ was before he took the 〈◊〉 or Flesh then the Names Jesus and Christ 〈◊〉 chiefly and in the first place belong to Him that t●● the Body but Jesus Christ was before he 〈◊〉 the Body therefore c. The first Prop●●tion is unquestionable for the second I far●●●● argue 2. If the Son of God was before he took 〈◊〉 Body then Jesus Christ was before he took 〈◊〉 Body but the Son of God was before he took 〈◊〉 Body therefore Jesus Christ was before he 〈◊〉 the Body or came in the Flesh The first par●● not to be doubted That the Son of God was 〈◊〉 Anointed of God the Christ of God the Savi●● the second Part is evident that the Son of 〈◊〉 was before he took the Body because God n●●● the Worlds by his Son Heb. 1.2 3.
