A60620	A briefe answer unto a book intituled Shetinah, or, A demonstration of the divine presence in places of religious worship published by Iohn Stillingfleet, who stiles himself M.A. rector of Beckingham in Lincoln-shire, and late fellow of St. Iohns Colledge in Cambridge. In which book he hath declared many perverse things against the people of God (called Quakers,) and for so much as is considerable, wherein that people are any way concerned, it is in the power of God here answered, by one who is set for the defence of the Gospel, William Smith.

between_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n in_o the_o fall_n and_o the_o nature_n of_o christ_n that_o never_o fall_v for_o we_o own_o the_o light_n which_o be_v manifest_a from_o the_o nature_n of_o

the_o new_a jerusalem_n be_v the_o product_n only_o of_o man_n foolish_a fancy_n their_o pride_n and_o ignoran●●_n answ_n the_o inward_a light_n which_o the_o wise_a man_n style_v the_o candle_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v break_v forth_o of_o the_o socket_n of_o a_o corrupt_a mind_n in_o many_o and_o now_o shine_v upon_o the_o house_n top_n and_o what_o will_v thou_o have_v to_o discover_v the_o right_a and_o ready_a way_n to_o new_a jerusalem_n if_o not_o the_o candle_n of_o the_o lord_n which_o be_v his_o light_n within_o but_o this_o be_v not_o thy_o guide_n and_o so_o thou_o remain_v in_o

under_o his_o government_n in_o peace_n thou_o now_o come_v to_o speaek_v of_o divine_a revelation_n and_o say_v that_o god_n be_v every_o where_o present_a fill_v all_o place_n and_o space_n both_o real_a and_o imaginary_a by_o his_o immensity_n answ_n then_o stand_v thou_o in_o his_o fear_n for_o he_o be_v near_o thou_o as_o a_o swift_a witness_n against_o thou_o and_o however_o god_n be_v present_a with_o other_o thing_n in_o their_o kind_n yet_o he_o do_v not_o reveal_v himself_o unto_o man_n by_o any_o other_o way_n or_o by_o any_o other_o thing_n then_o the_o light_n of_o christ_n and_o we_o know_v how_o god_n manifest_v himself_o in_o every_o particular_a place_n according_a to_o man_n present_a state_n and_o condition_n and_o what_o his_o hot_a displeasure_n be_v reveal_v against_o and_o what_o his_o love_a kindness_n and_o mercy_n be_v reveal_v unto_o thou_o say_v but_o though_o god_n be_v every_o where_o present_a and_o so_o with_o every_o creature_n equal_o in_o regard_n of_o his_o infinite_a essence_n and_o of_o his_o emmensity_n yet_o as_o to_o the_o special_a and_o peculiar_a efficacy_n of_o his_o presence_n he_o be_v not_o with_o all_o either_o thing_n or_o place_n or_o person_n after_o the_o same_o manner_n present_a answ_n if_o god_n be_v equal_o present_a with_o every_o creature_n in_o regard_n of_o his_o infinite_a essence_n than_o all_o thing_n have_v the_o same_o proportion_n of_o it_o but_o all_o thing_n have_v not_o the_o same_o proportion_n of_o god_n infinite_a essence_n therefore_o not_o with_o every_o creature_n equal_o for_o a_o equal_a proportion_n be_v the_o same_o to_o all_o and_o do_v not_o admit_v of_o any_o thing_n special_a but_o his_o infiniteness_n be_v in_o himself_o and_o he_o measure_v forth_o so_o much_o as_o his_o pleasure_n be_v to_o give_v and_o it_o be_v a_o equal_a proportion_n unto_o all_o according_a to_o his_o pleasure_n yet_o some_o have_v more_o and_o some_o less_o but_o all_o some_o and_o that_o measure_v so_o manifest_v in_o man_n have_v a_o peculiar_a efficacy_n as_o to_o its_o operation_n through_o the_o obedience_n unto_o it_o and_o this_o be_v equal_a in_o itself_o and_o special_a by_o itself_o and_o yet_o in_o the_o infiniteness_n of_o essence_n without_o any_o distinction_n thou_o say_v that_o god_n be_v present_a with_o all_o his_o creature_n as_o the_o preserver_n guider_n and_o governor_n of_o they_o answ_n whosoever_o sin_v be_v not_o preserve_v guide_v nor_o govern_v by_o god_n but_o some_o do_v sin_n therefore_o god_n be_v not_o so_o present_a with_o all_o but_o they_o that_o come_v to_o the_o effectual_a work_n of_o his_o power_n they_o know_v a_o immortal_a birth_n quicken_v and_o raise_v with_o which_o the_o preserve_n guide_a and_o govern_v power_n of_o god_n be_v present_a thou_o say_v thy_o design_n main_o intend_v be_v against_o those_o who_o because_o they_o be_v wise_a in_o their_o own_o conceit_n do_v neglect_v public_a sermon_n and_o sacrament_n answ_n thy_o main_a intendment_n and_o design_n be_v against_o those_o that_o god_n have_v redeem_v from_o the_o earth_n and_o from_o all_o false_a way_n and_o worship_n and_o gather_v they_o into_o the_o public_a worship_n of_o his_o spirit_n where_o they_o hear_v christ_n voice_n and_o follow_v he_o and_o can_v own_v thy_o church_n or_o sermon_n or_o sacrament_n in_o the_o second_o chapter_n thou_o seem_v to_o hold_v forih_o a_o general_a presence_n of_o god_n with_o all_o thing_n and_o more_o especial_o with_o some_o thing_n but_o have_v not_o show_v what_o those_o thing_n be_v though_o thou_o intend_v it_o to_o the_o worship_n now_o general_o practife_v but_o haste_n never_o come_v close_o to_o the_o matter_n thou_o aim_v at_o but_o have_v multiply_v thy_o own_o word_n and_o thought_n about_o the_o saint_n worship_n in_o time_n past_a which_o according_a to_o the_o scripture_n we_o own_o in_o their_o dispensation_n but_o thou_o have_v not_o prove_v that_o the_o place_n which_o thou_o call_v a_o church_n or_o the_o worship_n that_o be_v there_o observe_v be_v either_o of_o they_o true_a or_o warrantable_a according_a to_o any_o scripture_n precept_n or_o precedent_n or_o the_o mind_n of_o god_n at_o this_o day_n so_o that_o thy_o whole_a book_n may_v silence_v itself_o as_o to_o the_o matter_n thou_o aim_v at_o for_o where_o a_o thing_n be_v not_o right_o state_v and_o true_o prove_v it_o be_v a_o sufficient_a proof_n against_o itself_o yet_o i_o shall_v brief_o answer_v a_o few_o thing_n more_o thou_o say_v have_v there_o not_o be_v a_o peculiar_a people_n a_o royal_a seed_n even_o the_o church_n of_o god_n to_o be_v raise_v out_o of_o the_o ruin_n of_o fall_v man_n by_o the_o interpose_v of_o christ_n first_o proffer_v and_o propound_v for_o the_o world_n reparation_n in_o that_o fundamental_a promise_n the_o seed_n of_o the_o woman_n shall_v break_v the_o serpent_n head_n answ_n thou_o have_v confess_v that_o the_o church_n of_o god_n be_v the_o royal_a seed_n than_o it_o be_v such_o as_o be_v bear_v of_o the_o seed_n that_o be_v god_n peculiar_a people_n and_o true_a member_n of_o his_o church_n therefore_o mark_v thy_o own_o word_n for_o if_o the_o royal_a seed_n be_v the_o church_n as_o thou_o have_v confess_v and_o in_o itself_o be_v true_a than_o neither_o wood_n nor_o stone_n nor_o people_n in_o the_o fall_n can_v be_v the_o church_n and_o the_o seed_n be_v know_v in_o which_o the_o church_n flourish_v in_o this_o day_n of_o her_o restitution_n out_o of_o the_o wilderness_n and_o the_o promise_n be_v unto_o we_o fulfil_v who_o be_v bear_v of_o god_n thou_o say_v but_o among_o all_o the_o manifestation_n of_o god_n presence_n and_o favour_n there_o be_v none_o more_o remarkable_o signal_n for_o constant_a revive_n and_o comfort_v the_o heart_n of_o his_o people_n than_o those_o that_o have_v be_v true_o experience_v in_o his_o ordinance_n enjoy_v by_o his_o servant_n in_o those_o place_n which_o either_o by_o

place_n in_o which_o thou_o have_v come_v as_o near_o the_o matter_n thou_o aim_v at_o as_o any_o place_n in_o thy_o book_n therefore_o i_o shall_v speak_v more_o full_o to_o it_o thou_o have_v so_o
