A42157	The baptist not Babylonish, or The Quakers tongue no slander Being a brief reply to a foolish and scandalous pamphlet called the Babylonish baptist. Written by G.W. a Quaker-teacher. Wherein his malice, insolence, and ignorance is discovered and detected. And a book lately published, intituled, Light from the sun of righteousness, is vindicated from those pretended contradictions, and groundless cavils made against it. H.G.	Grigg, Henry.	1672 (1672)	Wing G2021A; ESTC R219909	10,599	32

down this for horrible blasphemy George I did no where say That it is great Darkness and a wile of Satan and cheat of Antichrist to own a Light in every man c. For if so thou mightest have had ground to have charged me with a Contradiction But your great Darkness and that which I call a wile of Satan and cheat of Antichrist consists in your affirming that of this Light which is utterly false and contrary to the Doctrine which is according to Godliness mentioned in the same 31 page Do not you say That this Light which is in every man that cometh into the World is God is Christ is the Holy Spirit or the Blessed Comforter and a Saving Light and that it will convince a man of every Sin and Transgression and lead into all Truth and cleanse from all Sin and eternally save those who walk up to it faithfully In this appears your great darkness and herein you are beguiled and cheated by the Devil to the invalidating of the meritorious Death and Sufferings of our Lord Jesus Christ as if there were no need or his Blood to be poured forth nor of his Intercession nay do you not hereby clearly deny his Humane Nature or his real outward Existence at his Father's right hand in Heaven above For if he be nought else but Light and Spirit within that of necessity follows But I shall proceed to that you call another of my Contradictions viz. H. G. Observes from John 16.7 That the Spirit or blessed Comforter cannot be the Saviour Pag. 46. H. G. Contra. Till the coming of his Spirit and Grace with power in my heart for the binding of the strong man Satan and killing my Corruptions my Soul was not brought out of the horrible pit page 16. having wrought this glorious work of Regeneration page 17. G. W. His Animadversions Then it s the Spirit and power of Christ that effects and works Salvation through the work of Regeneration Titus 3.5 Which is not meerly by Christs outward Sufferings though we cannot believe that Satan is bound in this man while he is in Satans work blaspheming Christs light within and belying us Reply What sober Christian man can find any contradiction here against H. G Is not G.W. the Liar and false Accuser I say the Spirit or blessed Comforter cannot be the Saviour or Mediatour and yet I own the work and office of the Comforter and the work of Grace with power upon the heart And is there any absurdity in this Is this in the least inconsistent and contradictory to it self Did I any where deny the effectual workings of the Holy Spirit which in a wonderful nature works Faith in the hearts of the Regenerate whereby he is inabled to apply the vertue of Christ's Blood and Merits to his own Soul And art thou not able to distinguish between the Giver and the Gift between the Fountain and the Stream Doth not Christ say that he would send the Comforter and that the Spirit of Truth should proceed from the Father and the Son Are there nor three that bear record in Heaven Answer plainly Did the true Saviour die on the Cross or not I affirm once again That neither the Comforter viz. the Holy Spirit nor the Deity of our Lord Jesus distinct from his Manhood or Humane Nature could be the Saviour and Mediatour which died on the Cross or was crucified between the two Thieves But again it appears thou distinguishest not between the Meritorious cause of mans Salvation and the Instrumental the killing of the Sacrifice and the sprinkling of the Blood the price paid for the Captive and the application of it the work and the office of the Lord Jesus our alone Saviour who died to atone make peace and appease the wrath of God so to redeem us and the work and office of the Spirit which doth sanctifie and renew us but dost ignorantly seem to affirm that such distinctions are lies and contradictions But I must proceed H. G. The Ordinance of the Lords Supper you call Bread and Wine Pag. 19. H.G. Contrad The Sign The Shadow speaking of these Ordinances the substance being Christ Pag. 53 54. G. W. his Animadversion Your pretended Lords Supper then is no more than Bread and Wine the Sign the Shadow and therefore their continuation of no necessity in the true Church which hath received Christ the Substance c. Reply The Ordinance of the Lords Supper which Quakers reproachfully and contradictingly as I have shewed in Pag. 53. do call Bread and Wine doth remain in full force and the practice of it to be kept up in the same manner as Christ the night before he was betrayed instituted it and the Primitive Saints received it Acts 2.42 Chap. 20.7 11. 1 Cor. 11.23 c. I have clearly proved in the said Book pag. 19 20 21. to which I refer the Reader and the stress of my Arguments thou mayst see this man hath no wayes weakned nor said any thing to but would if he knew how make Persons believe I contradict my self afterwards in calling it a Sign and speaking of sitting down under Christ's shadow and in calling the Ordinance of breaking Bread and drinking of Wine a Sign is no contradiction For doth it not signifie the breaking of Christ's Body and the pouring forth of his Blood and clearly as a Sign hold forth his Sufferings and shew forth his Death until he come which was one end of his instituting of it and hath it not been called by many faithful men long before his airy Notions were Midwiv'd into the world by the Spirit of Antichrist an outward Sign of an inward spiritual Grace he took the Bread and blessed it and said This is my Body which the godly Martyrs sealed with their blood to be a figurative speech or that which was to shew forth his Body broken for us c. 'T is no marvel Reader these men cavil against this Ordinance and deny it who plainly deny him to be the Christ who is signified thereby as hereafter will appear more fully And again I would know of this man where he reads of any thing called the Lord's Supper but this which we contend for and I do affirm that this and all other Ordinances of Christ is Spiritual a●d Faith to be exercised by all that receive it Moreover let none conclude whatsoever this man imagineth because the Shadows and Services of the Mosaical Law ended when Christ the substance nailed them to his Cross that therefore Gospel-Ordinances did then cease likewise for the Ordinance of Water-baptism was given forth by Christ after his Resurrection Mat. 28.20 And this of the Lord's Supper I have in that same Book shewed Paul received of Christ some time after his Ascention 1 Cor. 11.23 But to pass this and come to the next thing he cavils against viz. H.G. The end of this Ordinance doth remain notwithstanding the pourings forth of the Spirit and therefore the Ordinance must needs remain
