Rev. 3.20 Is not this door the heart of man Does he not fill Heaven and Earth with his presence Thy Redeemer is in the midst of thee O Israel Tell me Ionathan was the hearing of faith which thou brings in Gal. 3.2 for proof of thy blasphemy the hearing of the Prophets or of Matthew Mark Luke and John and the rest of the Apostles Or was it not a beleeving in that Christ which Paul preached to be in all Jew and Greek Barbarian Scithian Coll. 3.11 bond and free in that Christ who is the Light in all consciences preaching there to every man and woman upon earth And what shall be the condemnation of all Man-kinde Joh. 3.19 who never heard of the Name of Christ at Jerusalem if not the Light of Jesus Christ placed in the Conscience And wherefore is the Light of Jesus left there in the heart of every man and woman if not to lead man and women out of sin unto holiness And whether any thing without can redeem a soul from sin but that Jesus who is the Light of the world and shines into the conscience of every man and woman in the world When thou writes again answer those plain Quaeries without any Serpentine Evasions conjuring Consequences or Antichristian Falacies As for thy second Proof Acts 2.38 When thou and thy Friends can witness such a condition as these Convicts could in the four last Verses of that Chapter thou sayes somthing till then let the Babler be silent and leave his boasting for the Baptism of Repentance from dead works he knows not so long as he lives in lying pride and passion Besides Watersprinckling is not once named there Does Christs Baptism consist of outward water Or is not his a Baptism of sufferings with the Holy Ghost and with Fire And art thou baptized with this Baptism and so much dross of lying false accusing pride and passion not burnt up in thee Answer those three quaeries in singleness of heart or else let the Serpent in thee be silent As for thy last proof 1 Ephes 13. What was this Word of Truth if not Jesus the Word of God the sure Word of Prophesie which shined in their dark hearts 2 Pet. 1.19 1 Coll. 26. which they knew not Was not this the Mystery unto them and all the blinde Gentiles And was not this through their Faith therein the Gospel of their Salvation Were they not sealed by that Holy Spirit of Promise by beleeving in this VVord of Truth within them which cannot be corrupted nor removed into a corner Answer those quaeries Ionathan without any jugling or else let the mouth of the lyar be stopt for ever mentioning the Name of the Lord. Now to the second Position Thou breaths forth such Fume as comes from the bottomless Pit and sayes I reckon thee among Drunkards because I say the Drunkards make their boast in this belief If there be falshood in my words Was not the Devil in Peter when Christ said Get thee behinde me Satant why does not the Serpents wisdom seek to confute them but the words are true and so the Devil 's dumb as to such a work for the righteous Seed of God arises in thee judging and condemning thee to be drunk with pride passion lying wrath and false accusing and that makes the Devil in thee rage he would not be disquieted but the man of sin must be tormented Read thy figure in the Pharisee 't is seen by the Light who it is that hath two horns like a Lamb yet speaks like a Dragon casting forth floods of Indignation and Serpentine Accusations upon the simple Turn to the Light of God within thee and that true Prophet Nathan-like will tell thee 2 Sam. 12.7 Thou art the man Ah! Shames thou not with thy false tongue to tell me I contemn the Faith in the sufferings of Christ and thus arrogantly to ask me How dare I thus contemptuously speak of my Redeemer Thou canst not call him thy Redeemer till the Serpents head be broken in thee and the lying Devil cast out of thee because in my Paper I writ to this effect Thou and they who feed your selves with the meerfrothy verball Faith in the sufferings of the Man Christ Iesus at Ierusalem and yet wallow in your wickedness are not saved or redeemed from your sins Judge O ye honest hearted of the Nation whether this language be a speaking contemptuously of my Redeemer yea or nay Are they who wallow in their wickedness redeemed from sin by saying they beleeve in the sufferings of Christ at Jerusalem Then what 's the difference between a Saint and a Sinner Then what need is there of purifying the heart But the children of the Lord know none are redeemed from sin but such as do forsake sin who cease from doing evill and turn from the evill of their wayes Is the proud one redeemed from pride while he continues in that sin Is he not a servant of sin that liveth in sin Is the cholerick hasty nature subdued and that man redeemed from passion while the passionate Devill hath dominion over him the Lamb of God is meek and lowly and so are all his tender Lambs Now judge O ye wise in heart if the Scriptures call not him who suffered at Jerusalem the Man Christ Jesus 1 Tim. 2.5 May I not use the Language of the Apostle Paul in that place is it any sin for me to call him by that Name which he gave himself Read Ioh. 8.40 But now ye seek to kill me a Man that hath told you the truth Yet I did call him the Man Christ Jesus Peruse my Paper once again Ionathan see if I said not No other Iesus do I own but that Lamb of God which was slain from the beginning of the world Did I not say that I did own and reverence the Spirit of the living God in him Col. 29.
