A85550	Truths defender, and errors reprover: or A briefe discoverie of feined Presbyterie dilated and unfolded in 3. distinct chapters. The first, shewing what English Presbyterie is. The second declareth what the failings and errings are, in the practise of those that have constitution by Ordinance of Parliament. The third chapter discovereth the conceited fancies, of such as minde not Parliamentary directions, either for their own constitution or execution and yet denominate themselves Presbyterians. And both parties being found guilty of transgression, are admonished to repentance, according to the rule of the word of the Lord, that commandeth his servants, saying, Thou shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbour, and not suffer sinne upon him, or as it is in the margent, or thou beare not sinne for him Levit. 19. 17. And also Capt. Norwoods declaration, proved an abnegation of Christ. / By J.G. a servant to, and lover of the truth.	Graunt, John, of Bucklersbury.	1651 (1651)	Wing G1596; Thomason E633_5; ESTC R206472	16,292	20

the Doctrine of regeneration the hope of the second and better resurrection and the glorious and endlesse reward in the world to come ANd because wee are to deale with the old Nicholitan Doctrines which alwayes hath been and now are the Depths of Sathan we must first premise such Tenets of his which are plainely avowed or else from what he hath written necessarily or absolutely concluded remembring also that he will yeild to all manner of Scripture readings although never heeding their proper and distinct meanings and I marvaile to finde this Declaration in Scripture expression for as much as he and his have most wickedly affirmed that the Scriptures the Old and New-Testament is Ante-Christ even that Scarlet cloathed whore which hath made the Nations drunke with the wine of her fornications now you shall finde this abhominable boldnesse accompanyed with miserable ignorance of the faith the just doe live by in that he knows not what the hope of true believers is they stand by For page 5. and the last line he is as corrupt in his expressions as he is in his delusions for the Apostle doth not speake in his language of the Saints bodies in the resurrection of the just to call them earthly and beastiall like the beastly Spirit he is lead by but being guided by the holy Spirit of truth cals them incorruptible immortall spirituall bodies c. 1 Cor. 15. and proves plainely that the resurrection of the body that which the Captaine denyes to be an unquestionable truth by the common and dayly experience of the sowing and growing of seed vers. 37 38. thou sowest some bare graine of wheate or other which is not quickned except it dye but every seed comes up with its owne body not bare as it was sowne but glorious or cloathed upon so also is the resurrection of the dead saith he meaning man its sowne in corruption it is raised in incorruption it is in dishonour when it is sowne but it is glorious when it is raised verse 43 44. A more cleerer and fuller manifestation of this I made to Mr Royle in my defence following in the 5 6 7 and 8. pages of Lamp of light as also in my first answer to him The Cure of deadly Doctrine page 4 5. Furthermore as Capt. Norwood doth in his Confession of Faith pag. 1. in words acknowledge the divine nature of the second Person in the Trinity as giving to him the name and title of infinite power and wisdome in Creation according to that which is written By it all things were made and without it was made nothing that was made so farr his expression is true what ever his meaning be of the divine nature but whereas he further saith which is also called Christ the first borne or only begotten of the Father or the annointed these titles or appellations cannot relate to his divine nature alone but his humane as the name Jesus or Christ was given to his person when he was circumcised his proper name by which he was known from other men So the Prophet David in Psal. 89. 27. applies the appellation of the first borne to Christs humane nature as a King in his glorious Kingdome and yet not divided from his divine I will make him my first borne higher then the Kings of the earth pointing to the time when he shall take unto himselfe his great power and personall reigne Agreeing with another expression of his in the Psal. 2. 6. I have set my King upon my holy hill of Zion that is Christ personally and not mystically and by this name he cals his Church and Kingdome also Ephraim saith the Lord by Jeremiah the Prophet is my first borne Jer. 31. 9. Likewise the Capt. applies the terme only begotten of the Father to the divine which most properly is applyable to Christs human nature his incarnation and so doe the Prophets and Apostles speake Psal. 2. This day have I begotten thee God the Father speaking to God the Sonne in and by David and so the Apostles testifying to Christs incarnation death and resurection Acts 13. 30. they prove it by the same Propheticall words foreteling of Christs comming in the flesh Thou art my Sonne this day have I begotten thee and they add for further proof of Christs humanity vers. 35. wherefore he saith also in an other Psalme Thou shalt not suffer thy holy one to see corruption Psal. 16. which words point plainly to Christs body in the Sepulcher and in proofe hereof the Author to the Hebrews is beyond all exception for in this respect only of the personall suffering of death he was made a little lower then the Angels who as touching his divine nature he was above them but in regard of his humanitie in suffering inferiour now see most ignoble Captaine how your opposition exceeds the cursed Jewes crucifixion for they did but kill that body of his which through the power of God was raised the third day but you utterly destroy deny annihilat that body and roared it out dayly to your deluded Disciples that Jesus Christ is a quallitie and no way to be conceived or understood personally for that you make an Allegorie Observe further that whereas this Captaine unwarily hath joynd these termes annoynting and annointed together thereby as he saith to declare the second glorie or manifestation of one Unitie in the Trinitie and yet plainely abnegating and denying the humane nature of Christ how the infinitenesse of unction in any true consideration can be said to be annointed within it selfe implies finitenesse and for as much as the finite annointed is inferiour to the fulnesse of annointing being infinite I know not how he will cleere his owne words from obsurditie but in this grosse mistak he concurreth with his Friend Mr. Royle which makes the letter of the Scriptures that speake of Christs humane nature to be but figurative expressions and fulfild in every one of them by severall removes and degrees of dispensations as you may see more cleerely opened in the 4. and 8. pages in the Lamp of Light following Againe the Capt. in page the second hath these words the same Christ I stedfastly believe to be my only and alone right and life and salvation and so much and so farre as I have attain'd him or it or rather he or it is risen up or brought forth it or himselfe in me so farre I judge my selfe to live or be alive or saved or to have attaind salvation c. under which plausible words of his lyes abundance of corruption and rottennesse for he intends by the Partie spoken of not only himself but every man also and by him or it the light or life before mentioned which he saith is inherently in all man-kind as the soule in the body and when he that is his fancied Christ Jesus is manifested and revealed or raised then is this salvation accomplished the resurrection at the last day finished and the world to come possessed and all what glorie
