already setled by Law you thereby introduce Confusion into the Church which may soon become Anarchy in the Government which to prevent in my humble Address to the Parliament I thought the Laws now in being about such things might be executed and if in their Wisdom they thought fit new ones be enacted What Papists believe or do as to Authority about Interpretation of Scriptures is no Rule nor Precedent for us there is a sad Experience in the World of the nature of the Spirit which they are acted by and of the Methods they have taken to support their spiritual Tyranny over the Consciences and Souls yea Lives of Men they made themselves Parties and Judges and would admit or hear of no Reasons contrary to theirs which were grounded not upon God's Word tho' in some things they pretend it but their own Traditions and Practice to their Church Now among us you find no such thing the Law is open for you if you take Scripture to be it whereof you sadly wrest the Words contrary to their natural Sense without giving any good Reason for it and you stand by your selves in defiance and opposition of the general Consent of the Universal Church which condemned those unsound Men when they appeared against the Person of our Saviour and Lord. And here I must say we no more than you receive the Authority of Antiquity or of Fathers upon their own bottom for we agree they were fallible when they said so and so but whether in so saying they spake truth is well worth enquiry into I will compare them with Scripture and if they agree with it I will agree with them And this is to me a strengthning Evidence that I am not singular seeing others as well as I could in the Word of God find those Truths which I do believe Wo be to him that is alone abounds in his own Sense and thinks he knows more than all the World besides for the application of Scripture Truths it may be every ones Right to direct himself by his own Reason enlightned by the Spirit as to the Explication a very great care ought to be had and still according to the Rule of God's Word with all the help he can get besides but when they have Opinions which they find are generally opposed People so modest so quiet and of the Character they give of themselves not to disturb others should keep it within themselves and not be so servent as ye are to spread it abroad whether your Zeal be without or against Knowledg And if every one who pretends to be a Member of the Church be so busie as ye are to promote their Opinions and no Curb be put upon Interpretations then no end of Heresie Blasphemy or of all sorts of the worst Opinions But before I proceed I think fit to pull down that Strong-hold of theirs as they take it to be tho' rather Sandy Foundation of a free liberty for every one to make what interpretations they please and that I shall the more willingly do tho' as briefly as I can because 't is a Matter controverted between them and us which I had no occasion to meddle with in my Book To begin I say as there is a Right so there is a false Interpretation of Scripture The Right is that which gives the true sense and meaning the False on the contrary Now if every private Man might Interpret Scripture what monstrous Interpretations would there be as we see it too much in the World and this is the ground of Heresy Blasphemy and Fanaticism which to prevent the Lord Jesus as St. Paul saith in those two places where he mentions the Offices in the Church hath settled Prophets and Teachers Every private Man may Read but not Interpret Scripture which in this Case is the first thing to be known For saith the Apostle knowing this first that no Prophecy of the Scripture is of any private Interpretation so the Interpretation must come from whence the Revelation came 't is but one and the same Spring therefore in the next Verse he clears the Matter For Prophecy came not in old time by the Will of Man but holy Men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost which doth exclude as humane private Revelation so also humane private Interpretation And herein Paul joineth with Peter when he puts this Question Do all Interpret Which contains an Exclusive how all do not no more than all are no workers of Miracles Furthermore we must know how Scripture hath a binding Power not only directive but also decisive over the Conscience so that thereby the Conscience far from having that free liberty is tied and bound to the determination of the Word or else no Man that believes an Opinion contrary to sound Doctrine and never so heretical and blasphemous could be guilty of Sin But we are assured of the contrary for they who wrest the Scriptures do so unto their own destruction tho' a man must be very cautious not to go against his Conscience yet where there is a Competition between God and Man the Word of God and the Judgment of Man when each challenge of us a Consent we must give it the Word which certainly is true and infallible preferably before the Conscience which may be seduced and erroneous which happens often when 't is guided by humane Reason In Scripture is in matters of Faith a convincing and constraining Power which in Conscience we are bound to submit to in Humane things the Judge is not properly Judge except he Judges according to the Law for he hath no power to alter or corrupt but to declare the true sense of it The Interpretation of the Divine Law which the Question is now about may happen to be mistaken but the Law never for 't is Infallible as being the Word of the True and Infallible God hence is derived its Divine and Undisputable Authority beyond that of any thing else and it should work upon men more than Miracles even than raising from the Dead which may be called the greatest of all for they that hear not Moses and the Prophets will not be perswaded tho' one rose from the Dead The reason is because therein the Spirit of God speaks and thereby leads us into all Truth And indeed if Scripture was not the end of Debates in matters of Religion our Conscience could never be settled nor quiet for that same thing no Humane Reason Power or Judgment is able to effect but we aquiesce to rest and depend upon the Word of the God of Truth and if at the Bar of Conscience there was no such binding Rule but men were left to their own private Judgment none would be bound to believe Scripture but always live amidst Doubts Difficulties and Conjectures not to say singular Notions Fancies and Dreams and so we could never be at a certainty Besides that after this there were no Sin in any man to receive any
and to be incarnate being made Flesh and Incarnation signifie the same May be you will deny it 't is but what some of yours do in a thing of the like nature as that to make and to create the World signifie not the same thing If the Word which as S. John saith was God was made Flesh I think that according to all Rules of Logick out of those Premises we may conclude how God was incarnate or made Flesh and that Act we may well call Incarnation As to the other part that it is only by Deduction you cannot be ignorant how there are such Deductions as are equivalent or next to the Expression for when the chief Assertion contained in Scripture is true so must also be whatsoever is therein included and in the Explication of it drawn by a true and right Consequence Thus tho' in the Sixth Commandment to give one Poyson be not expressed yet by a true and certain Consequence 't is deduce out of these Words Thou shalt not kill so starving one to death is adjudged Murther and punished as such Tho Incest be not expressed in the Seventh yet none will deny it to be forbidden under these Words Thou shalt not commit Adultery so is Fornication and so of every other Precept wherein when a Sin is forbidden all of the same kind are so and also the Virtue contrary to the Sin is prescribed And tho there were some difference in the Nature of the thing yet hence we infer this certain Truth that tho some things be not expresly set down in Scripture yet are therein contained and thence deduced by a true and lawful Consequence Of this sort are the words Trinity and Incarnation and if the Names then also the Things for the Use of Words is to signifie Things As to what is added in Answer to the Assertion that the Son of God was made Man how the Vnitarian will say The Son of God doth not always signifie God 't is thereby implyed that sometimes it doth and that grants what we desire for thus we know that when it is simply and absolutely attributed to Christ which is never so to any Angel or Man we may conclude that then it necessarily signifies God As to what is answered to the other Text The Word was made Flesh that the Word doth not plainly signifie God I only say this how John saith the word was God I leave them in his hands and let them come off as they can As to the Third Text the Vnitarian will say what he said before That God may be manifest in the Flesh without being incarnate he may say what he pleases if he proves nothing nay not so much as go about it surely they claim a Priviledge to be believed in what they say upon their bare word but seeing they give no reason for what they say we may suppose those great Masters of Reason have none to give their Reason fails them and is succeeded by Passion I see they found out a short way to answer all Arguments against them either with not taking notice of them and thus they answer my Book or with denying every thing without giving any Reason for it This puts me in mind of a common Saying when I was in the Philosophy School Plus negabit asinus quàm probabit Philosophus The dullest Fellow in the World can deny more than the greatest Philosopher is able to prove do but always deny and at last the Philosopher will have nothing to say There is no arguing against those who deny Principles now this is a great one for Men to give Reason as for what they affirm so for what they deny this is the part of Rational Men We attack them out of Scripture and they ought in our way to answer us out of the same as their School-Arguments we answer in their way But to return to what the Unitarian saith that The Son of God doth not always signifie God I say 't is not always necessary to our purpose it should And to state the Question well these two things ought to be observed First The Question is not at all about Angels or Men but about the Person of the Lord Jesus The Second The Name God is not improperly taken This being premised I say how the words Son of God when spoken of Christ do signifie God which to prove out of many Texts I shall bring only two in S. John's Gospel and if in the whole Bible there was but one yet it would be sufficient for every word therein is Truth and if once the Holy Ghost therein declares the Son of God to signifie God 't is not in the power of Men or Devils to make it otherwise Besides that the two Texts are so plain that there is no ground left to Cavil The first place is about the Interpretation given some words spoken by our blessed Lord whereby said the Jews thou makest thy self God which our Saviour rendered by these I said I am the Son of God So that the words God Son of God signifie just the same The Question between our Lord and the Jews was not about the meaning of what he had said they were agreed about it but the Dispute was whether those words were Blasphemy which they affirmed and he denied Those words in question spoken by our Saviour are in ver 30. I and my Father are One which because they are most material to the Question I shall thereupon observe this How therein Christ expresses Two Persons Himself and the Father the word I he explains by the name Son I said I am the Son of God and as by the first words of the Verse he makes a distinction of Persons so by the last he affirms a Oneness between Him and the Father when he saith they are One. This Oneness cannot be of a Personality which already he hath distinguished what else then can it be but in Nature and consequently in the Attributes thereunto belonging With this Text is to be compared the other I am in the Father and the Father in me It is very idle and frivolous for them to think they are One only in Will and Consent for if our Saviour's meaning had been only so and no farther the Jews would never have branded it with Blasphemy nor offered to have stoned him for it they well knew how by their Law no Man could be guilty of Blasphemy for saying his Will and Consent was one with God's for they were commanded to conform their Will and Mind to the Will of God that thereby might be a perfect agreement between their God and them between his Law and their Obedience Therefore to make this in their opinion to be Blasphemy there must be something of another nature which they declare plainly enough because that thou being a Man makest thy self God So the Question came to this Whether the Lord Jesus was God Which the Jews denied as now Socinians do but our Lord affirmed as after him
therefore they despise all Antient Doctors of the Primitive Church and I think in Tertullian's Words against Montanus we may say it to be the Socinians opinion Truth waited for their Coming without which it had been quite lost yet according to their Principles we must all be Scepticks and Pyrhonians always doubting of every thing and never sure of any then in the Word of God is no Truth that we can be certain of we know no Man hath dominion over the Faith of another nor ought to impose his Opinion upon others neither could they who went before us be Masters of our Faith nor we of the Faith of those who are to come after You see I make use of your own Expressions but withal I must tell you that if any one would in former or present times offer to force things of their own upon us to believe we would reject it by their own we mean any thing different from or contrary to the Word of God 't is not their offering to us or of us to others can bind the Consciences but the things offered do if they be the Word of God no human Authority doth per se and of it self tye my Conscience but God's Word doth therefore if any thing be proposed as an Article of Faith we must see whether it be contained in the Word of God which bears Record of it self and so stands in no need of the Testimony of Man 't is not the hand that gives Alms which can make Gold to be Gold or Silver to be Silver nor the Lawyers quoting the Law that can make it to be Law 't is so in it self so is Gospel Gospel in it self without any human help or else you make the Gloss and Interpretation more than the Text and as according to your Principles you may alter your Interpretation one to day and another different from it the next what a Confusion would you leave us in when you are so sickle and cannot agree with your own selves as indeed you make an Alteration in the Questions from what they were in Socinus's days By what they say of Doctrines which according to circumstance of times may be convenient or inconvenient I find them inclined to blame the times to excuse themselves but the Faults which too often are committed the Times are not to be accused of but the Malice or Weakness of Men there being no Season so troublesome as can keep a good Judge from doing Justice or a good Divine from giving a good Interpretation of Scripture so Mens Faults ought to be chastised and not the Times which are as Men govern themselves to be complained of but good and holy Laws ought to be enacted by those whom it belongs to having the Glory of God and the Good of the People before their Eyes new Distempers require new Remedies and new Laws are necessary against new Crimes wherefore I lay hold on this new occasion and once more make bold to both Houses of Parliament humbly to commend the Cause of God and of his Son the Lord Jesus according as I formerly besought them in my Epistle in earnest to mind it or else with David I say Arise O God plead thine own Cause However as to Faith and Practice they give a good Character of themselves as to the first they believe all the Articles of the Apostles Creed but still they reserve unto themselves to give what Interpretation they please but sure we are 't is not that contained in the Nicene and Athanasian Creeds Still there is a Jesuitical Jugling Equivocation and Mental Reservation Ask them which is the true sense of the Words in Jesus Christ his only Son they will not say 't is of his own Nature and Substance and from Eternity which Creed say they was heretofore thought a full and sufficient Summary of Faith till some Men perverted the true and Orthodox Meaning and brought false Glosses upon 't contrary to the plain and natural Interpretation received by the Universal Church then indeed to refute unsound and Anti-scriptural Expositions and wresting of the true Sense to explain and enlarge was found necessary 'T is their Principle thankfully to lay hold on the Message of Redemption by Jesus Christ This seems fair but is very defective for according to them Christ came into the World as a bare Messenger a meer Man to declare the Will of God unto us which others tho not so fully and plainly had done before to die only for our good but not in our stead nor to purchase us by the Merits of his Death So they say the Lord Jesus is God by Favour not by Nature robbing him thus of his Divinity When we seriously come to the matter they are full of Quiblings and Cavils As to the receiving the Message of Redemption 't is according to them by strength of Reason and not of Faith for no true Faith in Christ except Men believe him to be true God as well as true Man As to Practice this Character they give of themselves They fear God walk humbly before him hold no Correspondence with any known Sin c. This is well but not enough for the moral Virtues of the Heathen carryed some of them as far as this But a sound Knowledg in the Mind is required and no sound saving Knowledg of Christ except one knows him for such as he is that is God and Man or else he is but half a Christ an imperfect Mediatour whole Christ is the true Object of Faith These things are written that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ the Son of God as well as the Son of Man I am glad to find something like the Matters in question in the first Letter we are told what ground they go upon concerning their Opinions Scripture they own to be the Rule of Faith but unto themselves they reserve the Interpretation which is as bad as what they condemn in Papists to depend upon the Authority of their own Interpretation and so can turn it which way they please so may every Socinian as well as every Quaker have their private Interpretation but to say that Protestants for the interpretation of Scripture do rely upon their own Reason is without warrant and doth not consist with Truth except by Protestants they mean Socinians if this were a fit place I could shew that they have not the same regard as we for Scriptures tho they assert it for they dispute the Truth and Authority thereof but I must come to human Reason which in one page is twice asserted to be the onely Guide God hath given us in matters of Religion for under that head I reduce the three he there mentioneth about Revelation but this is not the Judgment of true Protestants if a Man hath no other Guide but his own Reason 't is a blind one and very defective 't is but one part of three and the least too for to the end that human Reason may be a fit
of all Offences committed in the County of Middlesex in consideration of our Duty and in obedience to the Directions given us by Mr. Justice Rookeby in his Charge do humbly present that We find by daily experience that several great and fundamental Articles of the Christian Religion as they are professed by the Church of England and contained in the 39 Articles and established as the Avowed Doctrine of the Church of England by several Acts of Parliament are not only disputed and questioned but absolutely denyed and particularly the Doctrine of the Trinity of the Divinity of Christ and of the Divinity of the Holy Ghost and Books are daily writ printed and published either directly contrary to the said Doctrine or by consequence in opposition to them denying all the Mysteries of the Christian Religion and resolving all into such Notions as are to be made good by Humane Reason and thereby making void the whole revealed Religion and destroying the Necessity of Faith in order to Eternal Salvation by means whereof Arianism Socinianism Atheism and Deism do greatly abound and there are Proselytes to the same daily made to the great Scandal of the Church of England and the Orthodox Members thereof For preventing of which for the future We do present that all care possible ought to be taken for the speedy discovering of all such Books as are so writ printed or published contrary to the known Doctrine of the Church of England and the Authors Printers and Publishers of the same and for punishing the Authors Printers and Publishers thereof according to the utmost severity of the Laws and for the suppressing all such Books of that kind as are already printed and for preventing the printing any more for the time to come And we do farther present that a Book Entitled Christianity not Mysterious or a Treatise shewing That there is nothing in the Gospel contrary to Reason or above it and that no Christian Doctrine can be properly called a Mystery supposed to be written by one Mr. Toland And also another Book Entitled The Reasonableness of Christianity as delivered in the Scriptures And also one other Book Entitled The Lady's Religion in a Letter the Honourable the Lady Howard are Books fit to be suppressed and the Authors Printers and Publishers of the same ought to have such Punishment inflicted on them as by the Laws of the Land they may Item We present a Pamphlet lately published Entitled A Letter to a Convocation-Man concerning the Rights Powers and Privileges of that Body to be Scandalous and against the Constitution of the Government and ought to be suppressed and the Author punished Now ye may see by the Agreement of this Presentment with the things contained in my Epistle and Preface to which 't is posteriour how in what I said or did I was not in the wrong nor out of the way I faithfully give it as it is without changing Words or altering the Sense as some of you have done of some of your Citations out of my Papers ye are always sure to give the worst Construction of Words and Things like Spiders ye turn all things into Poison about which besides what I already observed I shall on the way take notice of one thing more when I say no Soldier in an Enemy's Country ought to struggle out of the way c. for he that doth so ventures to be knocked on the head you put in ought instead of ventures is this fairly done Certainly 't is a great difference between saying a Man runs the hazard of being knocked and he ought to be knocked on the head so if I should but write or speak Reason you with adding one Letter would soon make it Treason and if you write or speak Treason with taking off one Letter you can soon make it Reason this is said to shew your Partiality As to what follows in the same Page and the next after about Dr. Sh against his Antagonist as against me I shall not trouble my head about it only God forgive and give you Grace to mend I see all that have any thing to do with this Man or lye in his way and are not of his mind must prepare for the like usage but I say I do not concern my self about Persons so much as about the Cause and therefore whosover would in the Godhead set up three Spirits and Substances is in my opinion fallen into a fundamental Heresie and whosoever is against such in that same thing I join with because I always love to be for the Truth In what follows I desire the Reader to take notice of the Man's want of Sincerity As well as I he knows we are not and cannot be agreed upon the very Terms he sets down for they contain the quintessence of their Error about the Holy Trinity for Sirs ye would have Jesus Christ to be not a Person but only an Attribute as the Wisdom of God so the Holy Ghost to be only the Vertue and Power of God and not an Hypostasis a Person of the Godhead for tho' one of you saith that for Peace-sake ye submit to the Phrase of the Church that is to the name Person yet ye interpret it not as the Church doth Therefore tho' you say the Vnitarians the Catholick Church the Translator and I are at perfect Agreement and tho' we agree in the Oneness of the Godhead or of one Divine Nature and to make use of your words that there is One Infinite Spiritual Substance yet we are far from agreeing with you in what follows with three Properties unbegotten begotten and proceeding c. except ye explain your meaning otherwise than ye use to do Arius under a word which if well taken might be harmless enough sheltered his Error so 't is usual with you ye are meerly for Words but we do besides Words look for Things and would have such Words as are proper as much as may be to signifie the Things Now your threefold distinction of Original Mind reflex Wisdom and Divine Love may be sufficient to represent what you mean thereby but not what we believe We make a distinction between the Property and the Person of the Godhead but you do confound them and would have it to be but one and the same Now if with us you will say that in one and most simple Nature of God are three distinct Persons to whom the infinite and singular Nature of one only God is common and that these three distinct Persons the Attributes of that one God do belong to then you say something to the purpose or else like the Gibeonites you come in to us only to deceive us We assert three Persons and not barely three Properties in the Godhead we say the Father is a Person the Son a Person and the Holy Ghost a Person and so three Persons but we don't say the Father is an Attribute the Son an Attribute and the Holy Ghost an Attribute thereby of three Persons to make
thing we go about we are to call upon God for his help and the gracious influence of his Holy Spirit being sure that without it we can do no good and we be sufficiently taught in Scripture to trust to no strength or abilities of our own and when in the World we meet with Men of Principles contrary to these we find it not strange for we know that there must be also Heresies among us or those called Christians that they which are approved may be made manifest among us Wherefore as long as we have about these Matters such a Foundation as Paul the great Preacher of Free Grace hath laid we need not to care for all Exceptions or Cavils of Men or Devils These are such Truths as we hope through Grace never to be ashamed or afraid to own unto the end even to lay down our Lives as he did his for so Glorious a Cause The Person of the Lord Jesus Christ and his Grace are so linked together that no Man strikes at one but the other feels it tho' may be in a different degree they have a common Enemy so he who is against one is against both which I positively affirm of Socinians Grace and Truth saith the Evangelist came by Jesus Christ who coming into the World brought Grace along with him for he is the Spring of it which he manifested in framing and redeeming of his Church the Foundation whereof and of our Christian Religion lies in this great and fundamental Truth whereof Peter made a Confession how Jesus Christ is the Son of the living God upon the verity whereof there our Saviour declared that his Church should be built and at the same time signified that the Gates of Hell shall not prevail against it For this is the House built upon a Rock which tho' the Rain descendeth and the Floods come and the Wind blows yet it falls not for it is founded upon a Rock In that Promise of his the Lord Jesus declares two things First The Gates that is the Power of Devils in Hell would afterwards make some attempt against that fundamental Truth of his being the Son of the living God As indeed it hath from time to time raised its strongest Batteries against it as not long after his Ascension even in the life time of his beloved Disciple and after his death the Assaults began by Simon the Sorcerer Ebion Cerinthus Menander and afterwards by other Hellish Instruments But in Arius's time great strugglings happened with so prodigious a success that all the World was said to be Arian hence came the Saying All the World against Athanasius and Athanasius against all the World so afterwards for the same Cause against our Saviour's Divinity several fought under the Banners of Hell as now tho' more cunningly Socinians do having taken up the Cudgels and as those Blasphemous Opinions were exploded out of the World so shall be in God's due time those which are raging for the present notwithstanding all the Craftiness Malice and Power of Hell and all Antichrists of Devils and Men This my so positively speaking is grounded upon Christ's Promise how the Gates of Hell shall not prevail against the truth of his being the Son of the living God which his Church is built upon and this is the Second thing not only deduced from but plainly contained in those words of the Lord Jesus whose Person is a fit Object of Adoration as his Grace is of Admiration These Truths one may abundantly be satisfied with out of Scripture which I much have made use of because some places prove a Truth directly others collaterally and others are brought in to illustrate and give a light to the thing so that Scripture is of several uses nothing therein without some use 't is of it as of the Rivers in the Garden of Eden they all did not run one and the same way But now to conclude I in the first place put you in mind to Answer my Book and then take this Occasion which you give me in case ye knew it not before to acquaint you how upon those Matters I have written a Book hitherto Unanswered if you have such an aversion for them as you express do but give us in Print your Thoughts about it 't is a fair Field I offer you but be not afraid for 't is not Smithfield but if ye can defend that Cause no better than the Socinian about the Holy Trinity and Person of the Lord Jesus then it will be in you but Time and Labour lost in vain And if you go about it be more Serious in a Business of so high a nature and less Virulent and Malicious For shame leave off Jesting with Holy things and let it be without giving ill Language for therein I yield you know to do 't more than my self and write like Scholars and Gentlemen without breaking the Bonds of Humanity with Arguments as hard as ye please but softer Words and make no more haste than good speed if ye come in that way then by the Grace of God I will fairly Answer you in the like manner and tho' already there is Work enough cut for you I doubt more than ye are well able to compass yet several new Arguments I have to bring in but if in the usual Scolding Reviling way I will leave you to chew your Cud May be your Bantering way of Writing hath succeeded against some but be not mistaken with others it will never do come with good Arguments and then I am for you however come which way you will I declare I shall not in the least care whether you come asunder or both together FINIS BOOKS Printed for J.
