A94505 Christ knocking at the doore, or, The substance of a sermon intended to be preached in Pauls upon the Sabbath day which fell upon the fifteenth day of April last: but not preached, by reason of a suddain obstruction of that liberty which was promised him, being indeed unworthy to be the servant of Jesus Christ in any such ministration for ever. / Published by the authour Philip Tanny commonly Tandy.

consideration_n of_o sin_v against_o christ_n be_v a_o tender_a thing_n once_o with_o the_o apostle_n st_n paul_n 1_o cor._n 8.12_o where_o reprove_v the_o corinthian_n for_o offend_v the_o

so_o do_v by_o fasten_v this_o upon_o they_o that_o they_o sin_v against_o christ_n but_o when_o you_o sin_n so_o against_o the_o brethren_n and_o wound_v their_o weak_a conscience_n you_o sin_n against_o christ_n as_o much_o as_o to_o say_v and_o what_o will_v you_o do_v that_o will_v you_o do_v so_o indeed_o what_o we_o christian_n sin_v against_o christ_n that_o have_v make_v we_o so_o that_o have_v wash_v we_o from_o our_o sin_n by_o his_o own_o blood_n what_o we_o do_v it_o tell_v it_o not_o in_o gath._n let_v other_o do_v it_o if_o they_o will_v do_v you_o do_v it_o if_o you_o will_v but_o i_o tell_v you_o plain_o i_o paul_n will_v never_o do_v it_o god_n will_v wherefore_o if_o meat_n make_v my_o brother_n to_o offend_v i_o will_v eat_v no_o flesh_n while_o the_o world_n

i_o will_v sin_v against_o christ_n which_o i_o must_v do_v if_o i_o make_v my_o brother_n to_o
offend_v i_o will_v not_o eat_v a_o bit_n of_o flesh_n as_o long_o as_o the_o world_n last_v belove_a we_o use_v to_o say_v when_o we_o be_v averse_a to_o a_o thing_n before_o i_o will_v do_v such_o

have_v thing_n clear_a yet_o viz._n that_o union_n with_o christ_n be_v sufficient_a to_o make_v up_o union_n with_o the_o father_n and_o consequent_o he_o that_o sin_n against_o christ_n must_v needs_o sin_n against_o the_o father_n will_v you_o i_o say_v have_v it_o clear_a then_o go_v on_o to_o the_o 10_o verse_n believe_v thou_o not_o that_o i_o be_o in_o the_o father_n and_o the_o father_n in_o i_o the_o word_n that_o i_o speak_v unto_o you_o i_o speak_v not_o of_o myself_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v the_o father_n speak_v they_o as_o well_o as_o i_o nay_o the_o father_n that_o dwell_v in_o i_o he_o do_v the_o work_n too_o and_o then_o he_o proceed_v believe_v i_o philip_n that_o i_o be_o in_o the_o father_n and_o the_o father_n in_o i_o plainet_n word_n then_o these_o sure_o can_v be_v use_v to_o assert_v the_o point_n in_o hand_n that_o sin_n against_o christ_n be_v sin_n against_o the_o father_n my_o next_o work_n must_v be_v to_o prove_v that_o they_o be_v sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n likewise_o and_o then_o i_o have_v do_v in_o point_n of_o proof_n to_o evidence_n this_o clear_o and_o plain_o i_o suppose_v we_o take_v it_o for_o grant_v that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o the_o holy_a spirit_n be_v all_o one_o that_o be_v grant_v i_o as_o a_o suppositum_fw-la not_o so_o much_o as_o dispute_v by_o yourselves_o let_v i_o put_v you_o in_o

the_o thing_n in_o hand_n i_o suppose_v i_o have_v gain_v the_o cause_n compare_v then_o these_o three_o scripture_n together_o numb_a 21.5_o 1_o cor._n 10.9_o isa_n 63.10_o let_v we_o look_v first_o upon_o num._n 21.5_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n it_o shall_v seem_v be_v in_o great_a affliction_n they_o want_v bread_n and_o water_n and_o their_o soul_n loathe_v the_o manna_n they_o call_v it_o this_o light_a bread_n be_v in_o this_o distress_n and_o affliction_n it_o be_v say_v express_o they_o speak_v against_o god_n and_o against_o moses_n say_v wherefore_o have_v you_o bring_v we_o up_o out_o of_o egypt_n to_o die_v in_o the_o wilderness_n for_o there_o be_v no_o bread_n neither_o be_v there_o any_o water_n and_o our_o soul_n loathe_v this_o light_a bread_n here_o you_o see_v plain_o the_o israclite_n sin_n of_o murmur_v under_o this_o affliction_n be_v say_v express_o to_o be_v against_o god_n they_o murmur_v against_o god_n and_o against_o moses_n by_o which_o word_n god_n i_o hope_v you_o will_v give_v i_o leave_v to_o understand_v the_o father_n and_o never_o trouble_v yourselves_o with_o much_o scruple_n or_o dissatisfaction_n in_o the_o business_n let_v we_o now_o go_v to_o the_o next_o scripture_n which_o you_o shall_v find_v 1_o cor._n 10.9_o neither_o let_v we_o tempt_v christ_n as_o some_o of_o they_o also_o tempt_v and_o be_v destroy_v of_o serpent_n the_o question_n will_v be_v how_o it_o appear_v that_o the_o same_o sin_n be_v speak_v of_o in_o both_o place_n to_o make_v this_o sure_a i_o must_v turn_v you_o back_o to_o numb_a 21.6_o again_o which_o tell_v we_o that_o god_n for_o their_o sin_n of_o murmur_v immediate_o before_o send_v fiery_a serpent_n among_o the_o people_n and_o they_o die_v now_o read_v the_o verse_n i_o have_v quote_v out_o of_o the_o corinthian_n neither_o let_v we_o tempt_v christ_n as_o some_o of_o they_o also_o tempt_v and_o be_v destroy_v of_o serpent_n do_v you_o desire_v i_o shall_v argue_v now_o be_v it_o not_o plain_a that_o that_o which_o be_v call_v murmur_v against_o god_n in_o the_o book_n of_o number_n be_v call_v tempt_v of_o christ_n in_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o corinthian_n for_o what_o do_v the_o lord_n send_v fiery_a serpent_n among_o the_o people_n for_o murmur_a against_o god_n for_o what_o be_v they_o destroy_v of_o serpent_n for_o tempt_a of_o christ_n these_o than_o be_v both_o one_o unless_o you_o understand_v any_o other_o destruction_n of_o serpent_n to_o be_v intend_v by_o st_n paul_n than_o this_o which_o be_v by_o the_o bite_n of_o the_o fiery_a serpent_n mention_v in_o the_o book_n of_o number_n my_o proof_n touch_v father_n and_o son_n i_o have_v do_v with_o my_o next_o labour_n must_v be_v touch_v the_o holy_a spirit_n or_o holy_a ghost_n as_o we_o call_v he_o for_o this_o view_n my_o three_o text_n isa_n 63.10_o where_o the_o prophet_n have_v in_o the_o verse_n before_o mention_v the_o gracious_a and_o general_a love_a kindness_n of_o the_o lord_n towards_o his_o people_n in_o the_o day_n of_o old_a set_v down_o in_o the_o next_o word_n in_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o 10_o verse_n the_o general_a demeanour_n and_o carriage_n of_o the_o israelite_n his_o people_n towards_o god_n and_o what_o be_v their_o carriage_n it_o be_v sad_a i_o confess_v i_o fear_v we_o be_v so_o too_o they_o rebel_v and_o vex_v his_o holy_a spirit_n their_o general_a posture_n of_o action_n against_o god_n be_v term_v here_o you_o see_v a_o rebel_a and_o vex_v his_o holy_a spirit_n certain_o if_o all_o their_o wicked_a action_n come_v under_o this_o

have_v gain_v my_o cause_n have_v do_v with_o my_o proof_n let_v i_o now_o treat_v with_o you_o a_o little_a you_o that_o have_v sin_v so_o often_o against_o the_o motion_n of_o god_n spirit_n and_o therein_o in_o some_o sense_n tread_v under_o foot_n the_o son_n of_o god_n for_o god_n sake_n what_o do_v you_o think_v of_o yourselves_o have_v you_o do_v well_o think_v you_o thus_o at_o one_o blow_n as_o it_o be_v to_o strike_v father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n in_o the_o face_n be_v this_o recompense_n for_o his_o mercy_n in_o send_v jesus_n christ_n to_o shed_v his_o blood_n for_o

all_o at_o once_o you_o do_v in_o a_o sense_n as_o i_o tell_v you_o tread_v under_o foot_n the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n the_o son_n of_o god_n for_o this_o tread_v thing_n under_o foot_n what_o
