A33370	A paradisical dialogue betwixt faith and reason disputing the high mysterious secrets of eternity, the like never extant in our revelation. As touching God in eternity, how he became time in flesh, and how he dyed in the grave, and ascended to his glory again. Also what the angels are in form and nature, and how the angel became a devil, and that devil man; and that this world was prepared for the devil, so this the devils kingdom; and what the soul is, with the place of its glory and torment. With a brief narration what a commission is, and how many commissions there are; what the difference of their worships, and how that the law was given to the devil; with a brief discourse on the catechism, the Lords Prayer, and the creeds; as also, a divine prospect to the elect of the Lord. Written by Law. Claxton, the onely true bishop and faithful messenger of Christ Jesus, creator of heaven and earth.	Claxton, Laurence, 1615-1667.	1660 (1660)	Wing C4581; ESTC R215220	88,691	122

reason_n see_v the_o serpent_n before_o he_o tempt_v eve_n be_v call_v a_o tree_n of_o knowledge_n of_o good_a and_o evil_a sure_o than_o that_o good_a be_v not_o curse_v but_o the_o evil_a only_o and_o on_o the_o contrary_a eve_n partake_v in_o her_o womb_n of_o the_o evil_a seed_n must_v be_v evil_a also_o faith_n though_o the_o angel_n have_v be_v a_o tree_n in_o his_o first_o estate_n which_o know_v nothing_o but_o good_a before_o eve_n or_o adam_n have_v any_o sensible_a being_n yet_o be_v fall_v from_o his_o create_a purity_n he_o be_v become_v a_o tree_n of_o sin_n or_o evil_n only_o so_o that_o he_o be_v a_o curse_a outcast_a tree_n from_o the_o glorious_a presence_n of_o life_n eternal_a before_o his_o visible_a appear_v unto_o eve_n so_o that_o he_o be_v far_o from_o

both_o god_n and_o man_n unless_o he_o may_v be_v ruler_n over_o they_o when_o on_o the_o contrary_a eve_n through_o temptation_n be_v overcome_v by_o the_o serpent_n yet_o she_o have_v some_o relent_a light_n of_o life_n leave_v in_o she_o after_o her_o rebellion_n which_o occasion_v a_o secret_a shame_n and_o confusion_n of_o soul_n in_o she_o so_o that_o she_o be_v capable_a of_o be_v make_v a_o good_a tree_n again_o yea_o a_o tree_n of_o more_o transcendent_a glory_n than_o she_o be_v before_o reason_n by_o this_o i_o understand_v that_o the_o seed_n of_o the_o woman_n and_o the_o seed_n of_o the_o angel_n be_v two_o contrary_a seed_n then_o tell_v i_o whether_o the_o seed_n of_o the_o woman_n be_v before_o or_o in_o his_o fall_n and_o the_o seed_n of_o the_o woman_n bless_v before_o or_o after_o his_o fall_n faith_n that_o there_o be_v two_o seed_n or_o tree_n of_o eternal_a life_n thou_o may_v read_v a_o good_a tree_n can_v bring_v forth_o evil_a fruit_n nor_o can_v a_o corrupt_a tree_n bring_v forth_o good_a fruit_n therefore_o by_o their_o fruit_n they_o be_v know_v so_o that_o the_o serpent_n angelical_a tree_n be_v reprobate_a to_o all_o manner_n of_o evil_n therefore_o he_o and_o his_o seed_n of_o man_n and_o woman_n be_v not_o only_o curse_v in_o the_o womb_n of_o eve_n but_o also_o before_o the_o world_n be_v but_o on_o the_o contrary_a innocent_a eve_n be_v a_o good_a tree_n in_o her_o creation_n through_o her_o proceed_n from_o the_o divine_a nature_n of_o the_o tree_n of_o eternal_a glory_n so_o that_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o she_o and_o adam_n or_o any_o of_o their_o seed_n shall_v eternal_o peris●●_n because_o they_o be_v tree_n elect_v to_o bring_v forth_o good_a fruit_n unto_o everlasting_a life_n and_o glory_n long_o before_o the_o create_v of_o this_o world_n reason_n however_o thou_o seem_v to_o prove_v that_o it_o be_v no_o natural_a tree_n so_o no_o natural_a apple_n then_o what_o do_v thou_o say_v to_o those_o say_n where_o he_o be_v call_v a_o serpent_n and_o curse_a above_o all_o cattle_n 3._o gen._n 3._o and_o every_o beast_n of_o the_o field_n upon_o thy_o belly_n shall_v thou_o go_v and_o

upon_o the_o serpent_n and_o his_o seed_n that_o angelical_a serpent_n be_v not_o without_o but_o within_o the_o womb_n of_o eve_n as_o aforesaid_a and_o he_o be_v call_v a_o serpent_n because_o of_o

that_o he_o himself_o be_v not_o that_o evil_a spirit_n or_o devil_n so_o curse_v and_o who_o be_v it_o but_o that_o serpentine_a nature_n the_o devil_n that_o go_v upon_o their_o belly_n and_o lick_v

reason_n though_o the_o soul_n of_o eve_n be_v not_o only_o pure_o create_v in_o its_o kind_n like_a unto_o other_o creature_n but_o it_o be_v also_o of_o the_o very_a same_o nature_n of_o his_o

yet_o reserve_v to_o himself_o the_o prerogative_n power_n of_o it_o so_o that_o the_o creator_n may_v present_v unto_o the_o view_n of_o his_o image_n a_o serpent_n devil_n for_o the_o trial_n of_o his_o workmanship_n and_o yet_o may_v upon_o pain_n of_o death_n forbid_v his_o creature_n for_o have_v to_o do_v with_o that_o tree_n or_o of_o harken_v to_o it_o in_o the_o least_o also_o i_o know_v the_o divine_a creator_n may_v leave_v his_o divine_a image_n unto_o his_o present_a strength_n through_o which_o by_o a_o subtle_a enemy_n she_o may_v be_v tempt_v and_o overcome_v to_o commit_v evil_a with_o the_o angel_n against_o its_o creator_n law_n and_o yet_o its_o sin_n be_v upon_o its_o own_o head_n and_o that_o because_o it_o rebel_v not_o only_o against_o its_o divine_a light_n but_o principal_o because_o their_o be_v no_o law_n to_o bind_v a_o infinite_a majesty_n to_o protect_v eve_n in_o her_o create_a purity_n and_o whether_o her_o enemy_n be_v too_o potent_a for_o she_o that_o be_v hide_v from_o her_o eye_n by_o the_o unsearchable_a wisdom_n of_o the_o creator_n so_o that_o see_v the_o wonderful_a wisdom_n

spirit_n also_o and_o yet_o the_o nature_n soul_n or_o spirit_n of_o either_o god_n angel_n or_o man_n can_v be_v worship_v without_o a_o body_n for_o there_o be_v no_o spirit_n whether_o immortal_a

so_o be_v his_o body_n immortal_a glorious_a also_o and_o if_o its_o spirit_n be_v mortal_a earthly_a so_o be_v its_o body_n mortal_a earthly_a also_o and_o this_o i_o say_v all_o body_n whether_o of_o god_n man_n or_o beast_n be_v invisible_a and_o see_v that_o which_o be_v without_o yet_o itself_o can_v be_v see_v by_o any_o outward_a sight_n for_o who_o see_v the_o spirit_n of_o a_o man_n save_v he_o that_o have_v it_o so_o that_o i_o say_v if_o god_n be_v a_o spirit_n without_o body_n he_o can_v not_o be_v see_v so_o not_o worship_v no_o more_o than_o a_o king_n spirit_n without_o a_o
