A85546	A holy lamp of light: discovering the falacious allegorizing of scriptures, to destroy not only the reallity of the person of Christ, but all other truths, from his conception to his exaltation; the generalll [sic] resurrection, and the generall judgment-day, falsly avowing all to be fulfilled here in this present life. Or a defence against Mr. Royle his reply. / By Iohn Graunt.	Graunt, John, of Bucklersbury.	1650 (1650)	Wing G1593; Thomason E596_9; ESTC R206957	9,446	8

a_o holy_a lamp_n of_o light_n discover_v the_o fallacious_a allegorise_n of_o scripture_n to_o destroy_v not_o only_o the_o reality_n of_o the_o person_n of_o christ_n but_o all_o other_o truth_n from_o his_o conception_n to_o his_o exaltation_n the_o general_a resurrection_n and_o the_o general_a judgement-day_n false_o avow_v all_o to_o be_v fulfil_v here_o in_o this_o present_a life_n or_o a_o defence_n against_o mr._n royle_n his_o reply_n by_o john_n graunt_n sir_n your_o own_o answer_n to_o all_o that_o be_v single-eyed_a be_v a_o plain_a evidence_n and_o manifestation_n against_o yourself_o for_o deny_v the_o reality_n and_o make_v a_o allegory_n of_o the_o divine_a and_o human_a nature_n of_o the_o messiah_n the_o saviour_n of_o all_o man_n the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n the_o king_n of_o glory_n and_o lord_n of_o his_o people_n and_o also_o in_o every_o other_o particular_a concerning_o his_o humiliation_n and_o exaltation_n thereby_o destroy_v the_o truth_n both_o of_o

never_o mean_v nor_o send_v from_o god_n but_o form_v and_o frame_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o delusion_n so_o that_o the_o child_n of_o wisdom_n may_v condemn_v you_o by_o your_o own_o word_n yet_o lest_o the_o purity_n of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o salvation_n wisdom_n and_o counsel_n of_o god_n shall_v any_o way_n suffer_v through_o your_o sophism_n or_o receive_v dishonour_n by_o your_o

first_o for_o your_o censure_v i_o for_o passionate_a reproach_n and_o bitter_a expression_n under_o the_o term_n of_o fancy_n conceit_n false_a allegory_n delusion_n and_o old_a german_a error_n this_o you_o say_v be_v my_o language_n which_o in_o say_v so_o if_o i_o speak_v true_o than_o i_o be_o not_o to_o be_v blame_v but_o rather_o justify_v be_v therein_o warrant_v both_o by_o precept_n

the_o wicked_a and_o condemn_v the_o righteous_a that_o put_v darkness_n for_o light_n and_o light_n for_o darkness_n that_o call_v bitter_a sweet_a and_o sweet_a bitter_a so_o that_o we_o ought_v to_o say_v that_o those_o that_o speak_v not_o god_n word_n unto_o the_o people_n they_o speak_v their_o own_o fancy_n and_o such_o as_o be_v give_v up_o to_o strong_a delusion_n aught_o to_o be_v

all_o and_o the_o expression_n thereof_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v term_v passion_n or_o bitterness_n and_o that_o i_o have_v speak_v true_o in_o what_o i_o have_v speak_v against_o you_o a_o brief_a

for_o those_o fair_a word_n and_o smooth_a expression_n from_o yourself_o it_o be_v the_o way_n that_o satan_n have_v and_o will_v use_v to_o deceive_v with_o from_o the_o first_o that_o be_v make_v

unto_o life_n be_v his_o baptism_n and_o external_a wash_n with_o material_a water_n be_v a_o sign_n of_o his_o administration_n of_o that_o heavenly_a grace_n of_o repentance_n he_o shall_v come_v

our_o lord_n baptism_n be_v of_o a_o more_o high_a and_o excellent_a degree_n of_o the_o work_n of_o god_n spirit_n the_o scripture_n also_o set_v it_o forth_o in_o such_o term_n as_o express_v the_o
