A91862	ʼIgeret HaMaskil Iggeret hammashkil. Or, An admonitory epistle unto Mr Rich. Baxter, and Mr Tho. Hotchkiss, about their applications (or mis-applications rather) of several texts of Scripture (tending cheifly) to prove that the afflictions of the godly are proper punishments. Unto which are prefixed two dissertations; the one against Mr. Baxter's dangerous problems and positions, about the immanent acts of Gods knowledge and will, as if any of those could be said (without blasphemy) to begin in God, in time, and not to be eternal as himself is: or, as if God could be said (without derogation to His infinite perfections) to begin to know and will in time, any thing which He did not know and will before, yea from all eternity: the other, both against Mr. Baxter and Mr. Hotchkiss, about their definition of pardon and remission of sins, in opposition to great Doctor Twisse's definition of pardon, as it is in God from all eternity towards his elect in Christ. / By William Robertson, Mr. of Arts from the University of Edenburgh.

in_o our_o price_a and_o prize_v but_o one_o book_n that_o you_o will_v not_o care_n much_o though_o you_o never_o do_v see_v it_o and_o i_o will_v not_o utter_o quit_v the_o sight_n of_o it_o for_o all_o my_o life_n no_o not_o for_o what_o possible_o can_v be_v give_v i_o from_o man_n on_o this_o side_n of_o heaven_n or_o in_o the_o world_n here_o below_o and_o the_o name_n of_o this_o book_n sir_n so_o little_a by_o you_o and_o your_o patron_n and_o so_o much_o prize_v by_o i_o be_v in_o our_o language_n call_v the_o hebrew_n bible_n and_o now_o at_o length_n sir_n be_v usher_v in_o that_o which_o at_o the_o begin_n of_o this_o epistolary_a discourse_n i_o do_v chief_o yea_o at_o this_o time_n only_o intend_v the_o first_o discourse_n to_o mr._n baxter_n be_v intend_v at_o first_o to_o have_v be_v but_o as_o a_o introduction_n to_o this_o in_o a_o very_a few_o line_n and_o this_o last_o dispute_n with_o you_o come_v in_o mere_o by_o the_o by_o and_o not_o be_v intend_v when_o i_o do_v begin_v to_o write_v this_o missive_n at_o all_o but_o now_o i_o say_v sir_n at_o last_o i_o be_o come_v to_o that_o which_o i_o chief_o intend_v by_o those_o paper_n to_o wit_n to_o inform_v you_o of_o the_o notice_n i_o have_v take_v in_o peruse_v your_o book_n of_o the_o little_a notice_n which_o you_o have_v take_v of_o that_o book_n of_o book_n above_o mention_v viz._n the_o hebrew_n bible_n and_o here_o sir_n i_o must_v first_o ere_o i_o go_v any_o further_a put_v both_o you_o and_o myself_o in_o mind_n of_o this_o that_o there_o be_v a_o far_o great_a business_n now_o in_o hand_n than_o be_v in_o controversy_n between_o we_o before_o and_o a_o great_a deal_n more_o weighty_a and_o more_o deep_o to_o be_v take_v in_o consideration_n as_o be_v of_o far_o more_o concernment_n in_o itself_o and_o its_o consequence_n before_o sir_n in_o our_o last_o dispute_n the_o question_n be_v but_o about_o the_o word_n of_o a_o man_n though_o a_o great_a one_o indeed_o but_o here_o the_o question_n will_v be_v about_o the_o word_n of_o one_o that_o be_v infinitey_v great_a and_o high_a than_o the_o great_a and_o high_a of_o man_n even_o about_o the_o word_n of_o the_o most_o high_a god_n himself_o before_o the_o dispute_n be_v but_o about_o the_o sense_v aright_o or_o the_o right_a understanding_n of_o a_o orthodox_n doctor_n definition_n but_o here_o the_o dispute_n will_v be_v about_o the_o right_n or_o wrong_a interpretation_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n definition_n in_o scripture_n which_o must_v be_v the_o canon_n and_o rule_n for_o orthodox_n doctor_n to_o judge_n of_o orthodox_n tenet_n and_o for_o christian_n to_o try_v the_o spirit_n of_o man_n in_o their_o opinion_n of_o religion_n by_o it_o be_v not_o a_o little_a wrong_n do_v to_o the_o dead_a by_o you_o when_o you_o do_v calumniate_v and_o false_o accuse_v a_o dead_a man_n even_o the_o most_o know_a and_o orthodox_n school-divine_a for_o the_o most_o profound_a and_o deep_a controversy_n in_o school-divinity_n of_o ignorance_n and_o error_n and_o that_o in_o those_o very_a point_n about_o which_o he_o know_v more_o because_o more_o be_v reveal_v to_o he_o from_o above_o what_o in_o his_o natural_n and_o supernatural_n together_o than_o i_o very_o believe_v most_o of_o the_o world_n do_v know_v beside_o himself_o at_o least_o i_o be_o sure_a he_o have_v leave_v more_o behind_o he_o to_o testify_v of_o his_o knowledge_n in_o those_o point_n than_o any_o of_o the_o world_n have_v do_v beside_o himself_o and_o therefore_o sir_n i_o say_v it_o be_v a_o great_a injury_n do_v to_o his_o remembrance_n by_o you_o several_a time_n in_o fifteen_o or_o sixteen_o sheet_n of_o paper_n of_o your_o lucubratiunculoe_n and_o often_o by_o your_o imperious_a patron_n to_o accuse_v and_o calumniate_v such_o a_o one_o of_o ignorance_n and_o error_n in_o point_n for_o which_o all_o his_o antagonist_n will_v never_o be_v able_a to_o compare_v with_o he_o but_o sir_n it_o will_v be_v find_v a_o great_a injury_n do_v by_o you_o to_o the_o live_a god_n if_o you_o calumniate_v his_o word_n add_v unto_o they_o what_o be_v not_o find_v write_v in_o they_o at_o all_o to_o make_v they_o countenance_v you_o and_o your_o patron_n in_o your_o singular_a opinion_n to_o put_v more_o into_o any_o man_n word_n then_o be_v indeed_o in_o they_o to_o make_v they_o either_o for_o we_o or_o against_o we_o in_o our_o opinion_n be_v not_o fair_a deal_n between_o man_n and_o man_n nay_o it_o be_v a_o clear_a breach_n of_o the_o command_n that_o inhibit_v and_o forbid_v bear_v false_a witness_n against_o our_o neighbour_n but_o to_o put_v more_o into_o the_o word_n of_o god_n then_o indeed_o be_v to_o be_v find_v in_o they_o be_v to_o bear_v false_a witness_n against_o god_n which_o be_v as_o much_o more_o a_o sin_n great_a than_o the_o other_o as_o god_n be_v above_o man_n in_o greatness_n and_o as_o his_o word_n be_v above_o man_n word_n in_o truth_n which_o be_v no_o less_o than_o a_o infinite_a distance_n and_o disproportion_n in_o both_o i_o wish_v sir_n the_o matter_n of_o those_o word_n or_o such_o like_a and_o those_o or_o such_o like_a ground_n be_v more_o serious_o lay_v to_o heart_n and_o more_o solid_o consider_v then_o be_v the_o fashion_n now_o adays_o to_o do_v and_o then_o the_o scripture_n in_o themselves_o and_o in_o their_o own_o word_n will_v be_v more_o diligent_o search_v into_o and_o study_v and_o i_o hope_v they_o shall_v be_v much_o more_o hereafter_o study_v then_o now_o they_o be_v or_o hitherto_o have_v be_v but_o sir_n to_o come_v to_o the_o business_n in_o particular_a which_o have_v occasion_v this_o preface_n which_o i_o suspect_v you_o may_v perhaps_o look_v upon_o as_o tart_o reflect_v upon_o your_o own_o interest_n and_o your_o patron_n the_o truth_n be_v sir_n i_o will_v never_o lessen_v your_o conjecture_n in_o this_o point_n but_o by_o and_o by_o i_o will_v add_v somewhat_o unto_o it_o rather_o to_o the_o end_n that_o the_o more_o serious_o you_o may_v lay_v to_o heart_n what_o have_v be_v speak_v only_o first_o sir_n because_o when_o that_o we_o be_v to_o give_v a_o true_a account_n and_o estimate_n of_o a_o man_n or_o of_o his_o work_n it_o be_v very_o unjust_a and_o unequal_a to_o speak_v any_o thing_n of_o he_o that_o tend_v to_o his_o prejudice_n and_o discommendation_n and_o not_o withal_o to_o take_v notice_n of_o what_o be_v praiseworthy_a in_o he_o and_o tend_v to_o his_o profit_n and_o commendation_n therefore_o sir_n before_z ●_o speak_v any_o thing_n further_o in_o the_o thing_n that_o displease_v i_o in_o your_o book_n when_o i_o first_o read_v it_o and_o which_o i_o think_v shall_v also_o displease_v you_o when_o you_o be_v put_v to_o the_o consideration_n of_o they_o i_o say_v before_o i_o speak_v of_o those_o offensive_a place_n i_o will_v first_o take_v notice_n of_o one_o or_o two_o passage_n for_o which_o i_o high_o commend_v you_o and_o that_o be_v because_o in_o both_o of_o they_o i_o scarce_o know_v in_o how_o many_o more_o you_o do_v the_o like_a you_o have_v take_v diligent_a pain_n forsooth_o in_o search_v into_o the_o original_a of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n the_o first_o place_n and_o the_o chief_a which_o i_o take_v notice_n of_o as_o worthy_a of_o commendation_n in_o this_o way_n be_v in_o pag._n 322._o &_o 323._o of_o your_o book_n where_o you_o do_v descant_v pretty_o upon_o the_o apostle_n word_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d in_o 2_o cor_fw-la 4._o 18._o to_o draw_v the_o emphasis_n of_o it_o to_o your_o own_o end_n neither_o will_v i_o quarrel_v with_o you_o about_o the_o force_n of_o the_o word_n which_o you_o do_v observe_v there_o nor_o will_v stand_v to_o dispute_v either_o with_o you_o or_o against_o you_o in_o what_o you_o chief_o aim_v at_o there_o though_o i_o can_v but_o tell_v you_o that_o i_o think_v it_o a_o hard_a say_n to_o aver_v as_o you_o do_v in_o the_o page_n before_o that_o there_o be_v no_o command_n in_o the_o scripture_n to_o make_v god_n glory_n the_o end_n of_o our_o salvation_n i_o have_v think_v that_o in_o that_o place_n prov._n 16._o 4._o which_o be_v the_o place_n now_o come_v ready_a in_o my_o mind_n there_o have_v be_v a_o virtual_a command_n to_o make_v the_o glory_n of_o god_n the_o end_n of_o our_o salvation_n for_o if_o god_n make_v himself_o and_o his_o own_o glory_n the_o end_n of_o all_o his_o work_n since_o he_o have_v make_v all_o for_o for_o himself_o then_o methinks_v that_o thereby_o he_o command_v we_o to_o aim_v at_o the_o same_o end_n with_o he_o in_o all_o that_o concern_v we_o and_o chief_o in_o our_o salvation_n yea_o it_o seem_v to_o i_o a_o command_n of_o the_o law_n
