A35959	Truths victory over error, or, An abridgement of the chief controversies in religion which since the apostles days to this time, have been, and are in agitation, between those of the Orthodox faith, and all adversaries whatsoever, a list of whose names are set down after the epistle to the reader : wherein, by going through all the chapters of The confession of faith, one by one, and propounding out of them, by way of question, all the controverted assertions, and answering by yes, or no, there is a clear confirmation of the truth, and an evident confutation of what tenets and opinions, are maintain'd by the adversaries : a treatise, most useful for all persons, who desire to be instructed in the true Protestant religion, who would shun in these last days, and perillous times, the infection of errors and heresies, and all dangerous tenets and opinions, contrary to the word of God.	Dickson, David, 1583?-1663.; Sinclair, George, d. 1696.	1684 (1684)	Wing D1412; ESTC R3405	145,943	378

in perfection And if God be infinite in perfection then surely there cannot be a multiplicity of Gods seing that which is infinite in that respect cannot be multiplied 2 It is evident from Deut 32 39 where the Lord speaketh of himself I even I am he and there is no God with me 3 Because God is Omnipotent and so cannot be hindred by any other in his working Rev 15 3 4 It is evident from Christs words to the young man of the Gospel there is none good but one that is God 5 From the Words of Hanna in her Song for there is none beside thee O Lord neither is there any Rock beside our God 6 From the Testimony of the Apostle 1 Cor. 8 6 to us says he there is but one God 7 From what Christ said to one of the Scribes viz the Lord our God is one Lord Mark 12 29 8 Because God is a most absolute and most perfect Beeing and so beyond all other things One Iohn 10 29. Psalm 145 3 147 5 9 Because this one blessed God is most absolutely sufficient and furnished with infinite Power and Wisdom for the production conservation and ruleing all things in Heaven and in Earth 10 Because he is of all things without himself the first and supream cause from which all the Creatures visible or invisible have their rise and beginning 11 It is evident lastly from the testimonies of the most wise Heathens who have been necessitated to acknowledge but one God only Quest. II. IS GOD infinite in beeing and perfection Yes Iob 11. 7 8 9. Iob 26 14. Well then do not the Vorstians Socinians and Anthropomorphitans err who maintain that God is finite in beeing and perfection Yes By what reasons are they confuted 1 Because God hath a beeing from himself and all things have their dependence from him and therefore there can be nothing by which he can be limited Romans 11. 36. 2 Because GOD is every where present in heaven and in earth and beyond the Heavens Ierem 23 24 Isaiah 66 1. 2 Because the Scripture affirms that the perfection of God is the highest is unmeasurable unchangeable and infinitely great beyond all creatures Iob 11. 7 8 9. Psal. 145. 3. Iob 26. 14. Quest. III. IS the only living and true God a most pure Spirit invisible without a body and parts Yes Iohn 4 24 1 Tim 1 17 Deut 4 15 16 Luke 24. 39. Well then do not the Vorstians Anthropomorphitans and Socinians err who maintain God to have a body and endued with parts and an outward shape and form Yes By what reasons are they confuted 1 Because God is the Father of spirits Hebr. 12 9. 2 Because God is invisible 1 Tim 1 17. 3 Because God is like to no bodily thing nor can he be represented by any image or corporeal likeness Isa 40. 18. Acts 17. 29. Quest. IV. ARE there in the unity of the Godhead three Persons of one substance power and eternity Yes 1 Iohn 5. 7. Matth. 3. 16 17. Matth. 28 19. 2 Cor. 13. 14. Well then do not the Arians and Socinians err and others Who deny the Godhead of the Son and holy Ghost Yes Do not likewise the Tritheitae err Who deny the Unity of the Divine essence Yes Thirdly do not the Sabellians err Who deny the real distinction of the Persons Yes And lastly do not the Quakers err who maintain there are no Persons in the Godhead Yes By what reasons are they confuted 1 From the places of Scripture already cited 2 From the Apostolical Benediction in which the three Persons of the God-head are called upon expresly 2 Cor. 13. 14. 3 From 1 Cor. 12. 4 5 6. Where the three Persons are named Spirit Lord God And from Iohn 15. 26. But when the Comforter is come whom I will send unto you from the Father even the Spirit of Truth 4 Because there are three that bear record in heaven the Father the Son and the holy Spirit 1 Iohn 5. 7. These three must be either three Persons or three Gods This last is the hight of impossibility therefore they must be three Persons Here they are put to silence and have nothing to reply such is the strength and power of Truth which is able to stop the mouths of the greatest rebels against religion and reason But there is good ground for the word Person Heb. 1. 3. where Christ is said to be the express Image or impression of the Fathers Person Because the Person of the Son perfectly represents the Person of the Father as an Impression doth the Seal wherefore he is also called the image of the invisible GOD Col. 1. 15. The Greek word is 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Subsistence or Person whereby is understood the Person of the Father as distinct from the Son and subsists of himself and in himself and is as the Original of the Person of the Son by an eternal and ineffable generation That there are three Persons in the Godhead it is further evident 1 from all the Epistles written to the seven Churches of Asia For as may be gathered from Rev. 1. 1. it is the Father that sends it is the Son that gives Iohn the Commission and it is the holy Ghost in the close that is mentioned as a joynt speaker 2 Because in that Epistle written to Thyatira there are three distinctly named first the Father and the Son in these words these things saith the Son of God Next there is named in the last verse of that second chapter the Spirit he that hath an ear let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the Churches 3 Because in the beginning of that Epistle to the Church of Sardis they are all three put together these things saith He to wit the Son that hath the seven Spirits of GOD. Here GOD that is the Father is distinctly considered as another Person The seven spirits are the holy Ghost 4 Because these three Persons are most fully and clearly distinguished in the fifth chapter First the Father sitting on the Throne Secondly the Lamb or the Son of GOD And thirdly the seven Spirits or the holy Ghost so called from the pouring out of his Gifts upon the Churches in that aboundant manner as if he were seven Spirits or a sevenfold Spirit It is evident also that the Father Son and Spirit are really distinct from one another and are three Persons They are indeed in respect of their Essence which is indivisibly communicable to them One and the same GOD but considered Personally they differ really for the Father is not the Son neither is he that sits upon the Throne the Lamb. Neither the Father nor the Spirit were incarnate but the Son who died and was buried which can be said of none but of a Person It cannot be said that the Father died or that the Spirit died Next is not the holy Ghost the spirit of GOD as the Son is the Son of GOD And if that suppose a real distinct personality this

IS the Light of Nature and the works of Creation and Providence sufficient to give that knowledge of GOD and of his Will which is necessary to Salvation No. 1 Cor. 1. 21. and 1 Cor. 2. 13 14. Well then do not the Socinians err who mantain That Men living according to the Law and Light of Nature may be saved Yes By what reasons are they confuted 1 Because none can be saved unless they be born again by the incorruptible seed of the Word 1 Pet. 1. 23. 2 Because Christ is the Way the Truth and the Life and no man cometh to the Father but by the Son Iohn 14. 6. 3 Because there is none other Name under Heaven given among men whereby we must be saved but by the Name of Jesus Acts 4. 12. 4 Because men cannot believe in Christ without supernatural revelation and therefore cannot be sanctified or justified because all Justification Sanctification and Remission of sins are by GODS Grace and Faith in Jesus Christ Rom. 3. 24 25. Acts. 26. 18. Neither can men be so saved viz. by living according to the light of Nature because Salvation is promised onely to Believers in Christ Acts 16. 31. Iohn 3. 16. 5. Because all that know not GOD will be punished eternally 2 Thes. 1. 8. But men without supernatural Revelation cannot savingly know GOD 1 Cor. 1. 21. Matth. 11. 27. 6. Men destitute of supernatural Revelation cannot know their own corruption and misery by the first Adam nor the remedy which is offered by Christ the second Adam They are without GOD without Hope without the Promises without the Church and covenant of God and the mysteries of Faith are hid and unknown to them allanerly that perish and are lost Eph. 2. 11 12. Rom. 9. 4. 2 Cor. 4. 3. Mat. 13. 11 12. Matth. 11. 25 26 27. Quest II. ARE the holy Scriptures most necessary to the Church Yes 2 Tim. 3. 15. 2 Pet. 1. 19. Well then doth not the Popish Church err that affirmes the true Church to be infallible in teaching and propounding Articles of Faith both without and against the Scripture and that their unwritten Traditions are of Divine and equal Authority with the Canon of the Scripture Yes Do not likewise the Libertines and Quakers err affirming that GOD doth teach and guide the Elect into all truth by the alone instinct and light of the Spirit without any written Word whatsoever Yes By what reasons are they confuted 1. Because the Scriptures are the foundation upon which the Church is built Eph. 2. 20. 2. Because all things are to be examined by the Rule of the Word as the noble Bereans

did Acts 17. 11 12. 3 Because unwritten Traditions are subject and lyable to many corruptions and are soon and quickly forgotten 4. Because we have Life Eternal in the Scriptures therefore they must be most necessary to the Church Iohn 5. 39. 5. Because the Scriptures are given that the Man of GOD may be perfect thorowly furnished to all good works 2 Tim. 3. 16 17. And the Scriptures are written that men may believe Iohn 20. 31. Quest III. ARE these former wayes of GODS revealing his will unto his People now ceased Yes Well then do not the Enthusiasts and Quakers err who maintain That the Lord hath not ceased yet to reveal his Will as he did of old Yes By what reasons are they confuted 1. Because GOD who at sundry times and in diverse manners spake in times past unto the Fathers by the Prophets hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son Heb. 1. 1 2. The Apostle calls the time of the New Testament the last days because under the same there is no more alteration to be expected but all things are to abide without adding or taking away as was taught and ordained by Christ until the last day See also Ioel 2. 28. Acts 2. 17. The Wayes and Manners of old was first by Inspiration 2 Chro. 15. 1. Isaiah 59. 21. 2 Pet. 1. 21. Secondly by Visions Numb 12. 6. 8. Thirdly by Dreams Ioh 33. 14 15. Gen. 40. 8. Fourthly by Urim and Thummim Numb 27. 21. 1 Sam. 30. 7 8. Fifthly by Signs Gen. 32. 24. Exod. 13. 21. Sixthly by audible Voice Exod. 20. 1. Gen. 22. 15. All which do end in Writing Exod. 17. 14. which is a most sure and infallible way of the Lords revealing his Will unto his People Quest. IV. DO the Books of the Old and New Testament come under the name of the holy Scripture and Word of GOD Yes Well then do not the Quakers err who maintain That the Scriptures ought not to be called the Word of GOD Yes By what reasons are they confuted 1. Because Christ says if he called them Gods unto whom the Word of GOD came and the Scripture cannot be broken Ioh. 10. 35. Here it is evident that the Word of GOD and the Scripture are the same 2. Because the predictions of the Prophets are expresly called the Word of GOD. Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia that the Word of the Lord spoken by the mouth of Ieremiah might be accomplished 2 Chro. 36. 22. Here we see it is evident that the written Prophesies of Ieremiah which are a part of the holy Scripture are called the Word of GOD. 3. Because what Christ calls the commandement of GOD He calls the Word of GOD Mar. 7. 9 10. compared with v 13. 4. Because the Apostle calls the sword of the Spirit the Word of God This sword is the sword of the Holy Spirit which he doth as it were put into our hand to resist Satan against all his temptations Eph. 6. 17. Therefore by the sword of the Spirit must be understood the Scripture not the Spirit it self as some Quakers affirm It is evident also from the fourth chapter of Matthew where Christ being tempted by the Devil with three different temptations resists him with three different places of Scripture And being asked by the Pharisees why his Disciples did pluck the ears of Corn upon the Sabbath day answered by Scripture Mat. 12. 1 2 3 4. Teaching us that Satans temptations must be carefully answered and that by Scripture as the onely mean to overcome him and his Instruments 5. Because the Word of GOD is quick and powerful and sharper than any two edged sword Heb. 4. 12. This cannot be understood of Christ because Paul in his other writings doth not call the Person of Christ by this name and therefore must be understood of the word of the Gospel the power whereof is described Rom. 1. 16. 6. See these following places of Scripture Psalm 119. 172. 1 Kin. 16. 12. and 2 Kin. 9. 36. and 2 Kin. 23. 16. Isa. 28. 13. Hos. 1. 1 2. Isa. 37. 22. Prov. 30. 5. By the Scripture or Word of GOD we do not understand the bare letters or the several written words of the holy Scripture which the Adversaries may imagine we call the Word of GOD. These are only the Vessels which carry and convey that Heavenly Light unto us But we understand thereby the Doctrine or Will of GOD revealed unto reasonable creatures teaching them what to do believe or leave undone Deut. 29. 29. Quest. V. ARE the Scriptures given of GOD to be the Rule of Faith and Life Yes Luke 16. 29 31. Eph. 2. 20. Rev. 22. 18 19. 2 Tim. 3. 16. Well then doth not the Popish Church err who maintain their Unwritten Traditions to be the Rule of Faith Yes Do not likewise the Enthusiasts and the Quakers err who maintain the Spirit within that teaches the Elect to be the only Rule of Faith And that the Dictates of the Light within are of as great authority as the Scriptures Yes By what reasons are they confuted 1. Because the Scriptures are called a Rule Gal. 6. 16. 2. Because nothing is to be added to the Scriptures Deut. 4. 2. and 12. 32. Prov. 30. 6. Rev. 22. 19 20. 3. Because we ought rather to follow the Scriptures in this Life than a voice spoken from Heaven 2 Pet. 1. 19 21. 4. Because the Scripture is written that we may believe Iohn 20. 31. 5. Because the Scripture is given for making the man of GOD perfect 2 Tim. 3. 17. 6. Because we must betake our selves in the whole of Religion to the Law and to the Testimony Isa. 8. 20. 7 Because Christ himself refers the greatest question that ever was whether he be the Son of GOD or not to the Scriptures Ioh. 5. 38 39. Search the Scriptures says he for they testify of me 8 Because the Holy Ghost did never give such a designation to his own Word as an Historical Rule and dead Letter or as some Quakers call them not the principal Fountain of Truth and knowledge nor the first rule of Faith and Manners but the Regula secundaria subordinate to the Spirit whence as they affirm the holy Scriptures have all their true worth excellency and certainty whereas Paul sayes expresly Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of GOD Rom. 10. 14. 9. Because the spirits cannot be known by any other Rule than by the written Word It is certain that the Devil transforms himself into an Angel of light 2 Cor. 11. 14. There is a spirit of the World 1 Cor. 2. 12. A spirit that rules in the hearts of the children of disobedience Eph. 2. 2. There is a lying spirit 1 Kin. 22. 22. And a Spirit of error and delusion 1 Iohn 4. 6. How shal these be known to be such or the Spirit which the Quakers obtrude upon us not to be one of them but by the Rule of the

Pet. 1. 19. 3. Because the Scripture enlighteneth the eyes and maketh the simple wise Psal. 19. 7 8. Quest XII HAth the Lord by his singular providence and care keeped pure in all Ages the Old Testament in Hebrew and the New Testament in Greek Yes Matthew 5. 18. Well then do not the Papists err who maintain the Old Testament in Hebrew and the New Testament in Greek which are the Fountains to be corrupted and that their common Latine Version is authentick Yes By what reasons are they confuted 1. Because Christ sayes till Heaven and Earth pass one jot or one title shall in nowise pass from the Law till all be fulfilled Matth. 5. 18. 2. Because there can be no urgent necessity shown why the Fountains are corrupted 3 If any such corruption had been in the Scripture Christ his Apostles and the Orthodox Fathers had declared so much 4 Because they never have nor can make out any manifest corruptions in the Fountains albeit most manifest and undenyable demonstrations are given of the corruptions of their Latine Version which they make authentick Quest XIII ARE the Original tongues viz. the Hebrew and the Greek to be translated into the Vulgar Language of every Nation into which they come Yes Are we commanded in the fear of GOD to read and search the Scriptures Yes Iohn 5. 39. 1 Cor. 14. 6 9 11 12 14 24 27 28. Well then do not the Papists err who maintain There is no necessity of translating the Original Tongues the Hebrew and the Greek into the vulgar Language of every Nation unto which they come but rather a very great hazard and danger of Errors and Heresies Yes Do not likewise the same Papists err who forbid the reading of the Scriptures in the vulgar tongues Yes By what reasons are they confuted 1. Because the Scriptures were given long since to the Iews in their own vulgar Language that they might be read publickly and privately by all Deut. 31. 10 11 12. Deut. 11. 18 19 20. 2. Because the New Testament was written in the Greek Language which at that time was most generally known to all Nations 3. Because Christ bids all promiscuously search the Scriptures Ioh. 5. 29. 4. Because the Prophets and Apostles preached their Doctrines to the People and Nations in their known Languages Ier. 36 15 16. Act. 2. 6. 5. Because immediately after the Apostles times many Translations were extant 6. Because all things must be done in the Congregation unto edifying 1 Cor. 14. 26. but an unknown tongue doth not edify 7. Because all are commanded to try the Spirits 1 Thes. 5. 21. 1 Cor. 10. 15. 8. Because the Scriptures teach the way of Life Prov. 2. 9. Luke 16. 29. Acts 24. 14. 9. Because the Scriptures set forth the duties of every man in his place and estate of his life Deut. 17. 18 19 20. Iosh. 1. 8. Psal. 119. 24. 2 Chron. 23. 11. 10. Because they are the ground of Faith Rom. 4. 20. 2 Chron. 20. 20. 11. Because they are the Epistle of God sent to his Church Hos. 8. 12. Rev. 2. 1 8 12. 12 Because they are his Testament wherein we may find what legacies he hath bequeathed unto us 2 Cor. 3. 14 16. Heb. 10. 16. Ioh. 14. 16. 13 Because they are the sword of the Spirit Ephes. 6. 17. 14 Because being imbraced and known they make a man happy Psalm 119. 97 98. Luke 10. 42. Luke 16. 29. Psalm 1 2 Rev 1 3. 15 Because when the Scriptures are neglected or contemned they plunge men into all misery Heb 2 3 Matth 22 29 Psalm 50 16. Quest XIV WHen there is a Question about the true meaning and full sense of any Scripture must it be known and searched by other places which speak more clearly Yes 2 Peter 1 21 Acts 15 15 16. Well then do not the Papists err who maintain The Scriptures not to be a sufficient Interpreter of it self and that the sense of it cannot be gathered infallibly when the text is doubtfull from other places which speak more clearly but onely from the Magisterial Traditions and unwritten Opinions of the Church of Rome Yes By what reasons are they confuted 1 Because the noble Bereans compared Scripture with Scripture for finding out the true and sure sense of it Acts 17 11. 2 Because the Apostle Paul did the same Acts 28 23. 3 Because the same was done by the council of the Apostles and Elders Acts 15. 15 16 17. Quest. XV. IS the holy Spirit speaking in the Scripture the Supream Iudge by which all controversies of Religion are determined and all Decrees of Councils Opinions of Ancient Writers Doctrines of men and private Spirits are to be examined and in whose sentence we are to rest Yes Matth 22 29 31 Eph 2. 20 Acts 28. 25. Well then do not the Papists err who maintain That the Church of Rome and the Pope are the supream Iudges of all Controversies of Faith and that his Decrees and Determinations are to be believed without examination and implicitly to be believed by all Believers Yes Do not likewise the Quakers err who maintain that the Light within which teacheth the Elect is the only Iudge of all Controversies of Faith Yes By what reasons are they confuted 1 Because God commands all men to go to the Law and to the Testimony in doubtful matters Isaiah 8 20 2 Because all doubts in Religion are to be examined by the Rule of the Word Acts 17. 11. Galatians 6. 16. 3 Because Christ and his Apostles did alwayes dispute and reason from the Scriptures against the enemies of the Truth Matth. 22 31. Gal. 3. 13. 4 Because the Church of GOD is founded upon the Writings of the Prophets and Apostles Eph. 2. 20. 5 Because we are commanded to prove all things and to try the Spirits 1 Thes. 5. 2. 1 Iohn 4. 1 6. CHAP. II. Of GOD and of the Holy Trinity Question I. IS there but one onely the true and living GOD Yes Deut. 6. 4. 1 Corinth 8. 4. 6. 1 Thes. 1. 9. Well then do not the Tritheitae err who maintain three GODS numerically distinct the Father the Son and Holy Ghost Yes Do not likewise the Manicheans err who maintain That there are two Gods being diverse and opposite as to kind viz. One good the Author and cause of all good things and of things immaterial being the God of the New Testament The other evil to wit the Devil the Author and cause of all evil things and of things material being the God of the Old Testament Yes By what reasons are they confuted 1 Because though there be a plurality of Persons mentioned in Scripture yet it is ever God as One as is evident from the first chapter of the Revelation and the last For if that one God have in himself all perfections there can be no perfection beside him and so no God but this one true God for if there were He should not be God because not infinite
