and believe And people it is as you have been taught and believed So let us leave this to the people to judge of c. G. W. There is something more to be said to what thou hast alleadged from Job 19. of seeing God with these eyes which thou wouldst make people believe are these bodily eyes This supposes that God is not a Spirit nor invisible c. for no object or thing is obvious or visible to the Carnal or outward eye but what is visible and outward that is a bodily and outward Substance for these bodily eyes cannot see a Spirit or that which is invisible M. C. These Eyes shall be glorified and made Spiritual for as now they are mortal and corruptible they cannot see God but as they are made immortal and glorified they shall see God G. W. Job after said to God I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear but now mine eye seeth thee Job last Chap. This was a Spiritual eye and not his bodily eyes but to tell of these bodily eyes to be made spiritual and then of seeing God with them that they must be made so spiritual and be the same they are for matter and substance This is strange Doctrine and that which we could never hear demonstrated from any Maxime in Divinity nor yet from any general Rule or Reason in Philosophy Le ts hear how thou wilt demonstrate that these carnal or bodily eyes shall be made so spiritual as to see God who is invisible and yet they be the same in substance that they are but M. Caffin did not at all assay to demonstrate this his Assertion nor to clear himself of his absurdities M. C. Let us go on to the next Question and leave this to the judgment of the people G. VV. It 's here before this Auditory evident and manifest that thou M. C. art confounded in thy work and put to a non-plus not being able to manage thy Assertion nor to clear thy self of the absurdities justly charged upon thee from thy own Words and Arguments wherefore be ingenious and confess thy error and that thou art confounded and not able to maintain the controversie in this matter Thou hast come off very faintly I advise thee as thou wilt answer it before the great God who will judge the secrets of men by Christ according to the Gospel that thou dost not wrong nor go to out-face thy own Conscience before this people as if thou wert not confounded but deal plainly and ingeniously and confess and acknowledge thou art at a loss and confounded who for proof tells the people It is thy belief and what thou hast affirmed is true As much as to say It is true because it is true or people must believe it because M. Caffin sayes it and then they must receive it upon an implicit Faith as believing he is infallible but M. C. hath no such authority with us for we see him fallible in error and in confusion as particularly about the same Wheat growing again and seeing God with these bodily eyes With many more errors and falshoods which M. Caffin was detected for which we have more at large upon record A POST-SCRIPT THese Baptists who have been thus wrangling querying and contend about the Resurrection of the same flesh blood and bones have manifested their carnal fleshly minds wherein they are puffed up as Intruders into things they have not seen and their Gospel to consist more of imaginations about flesh blood which cannot inherit the Kingdom of God 1 Cor. 15.50 than of any real knowledge of the true and saving Gospel which consists of Spirit Divine Power Life and Light the knowledge of which doth afford true satisfaction to them that enjoy it without such vain and carnal contentions of Baptists and questioning how the dead are raised and with what Body like those whom the Apostle reproved as fools 1 Cor. 15.35 36 37. As also like the Devil his disputing or contending with Michael the Arch-Angel about the Body of Moses Jude 9. They have appeared in these their carnal contests to darken peoples minds from the true Light and Life within And such have been the products of flesh and darkness against the breakings forth of Truth in its Light and Power which is and will be exalted over all these oppositions and Clouds of ignorance that rise up against it THE END Reader Thou art desired to amend such Errors as have escaped the Press whether Words or Points PAge 8. line 3. for yet is not read yet it is not p. 30. l. 3. f. computure r. composure p. 32. l. 22. f. had a knowledge r. had not a knowledge p. 33. l. 26. f. be the rule r. be not the rule p. 36. l. 18. f. this r· their p. 38. l. 19. f. has r. he has p. 50. l. 1. f. denies r. deems p. 63. l. 29. f. trasmutation r. transmutation p. 27. l. 1. f.
