A30025	A short view of the Antinomian errours with a briefe and plaine answer to them, as the heads of them lye in order in the next page of this book : being a nest of cursed errors hatched by hereticks, fed and nourished by their proselites : being taken as they were flying abroad were brought as the eagle doth her young ones to see if they could endure to looke upon the sun-beams of truth with fixed eyes, the which they could not : were presently adjudged to be a bastard brood, and their necks chopt off, and their carkasses throwne to the dunghill.	Bakewell, Thomas, b. 1618 or 19.	1643 (1643)	Wing B537; ESTC R38704	43,620	40

that requires those duties of them He saith the true beleever submits himselfe to every Ordinance of man mark a little the reasoning of this misguided man he that said before that beleevers must not submit to the lawes of God now he saith they must sub●it to the lawes of man and he that denied obedience to Gods lawes was any marke or signe of a beleever yet he saith he that submits to mans Ordinance is a true beleever but yet here is more venome behind in this argument for what is this Ordinance of man He saith it is the observation of the Sabbath so exceedingly preached and prest as a duty to be exactly performed in the exercise onely of the worship and service of God thus casting aspersion upon the Lords day and upon his worship and service calling it mans ordinance because he would overthrow the Sabbath of the Lord and then he goes about to set up his owne invention in the next words saying all dayes are to him this Sabbath for he liveth in that rest that was tipified out of the old Sabbath he saith he will take care to keepe faith in heart and breath and faith will make every day a Sabbath now he hath Christ for the shadow is gone the body is Christ his free grace hath freed him from keeping a sabbath for it is but the Ordinance of man here he contradicts his owne Character of a true beleever which was to submit to mans Ordinance but here is a true Character of one swarving from the true rule which is the law of God and now he walks in crooked pathes of his owne invention playing the hipocrit● saying although he submit the outward man the inward man cannot be beguiled here you see as rotten a heart discovered as ever lived in man some heretiques deny one Commandement some another but never any denied them all till this cursed heresie sprung up but let them read the judgements of God on Sabbath breakers the Practice of Piety the one to whip them and the other to shew them their duty if perhaps the thoughts of their heart may be forgiven them take heed lest you with the Papists deny the Lordship of Christ who cleared the law from all false glosses and gave it them in his owne name shewing the strictnesse of it reaching not onely to the outward man but rectifying the soule and inward parts of man and so to bring all parts of body and soule in obedience and free subjection to it and that for ever In the entrance of any answer to the first errour in this booke I left the decree of God till faith and calling because I would barre them from flying thither but i● may be they will want courage to face the Canon of Gods Word and 〈◊〉 for shelter to the dec●ees of God and say God hath decreed to justifie them before faith or calling but these sigge leaves will not cover their nakednesse for did God decree to ju●●ifie them and then decree to give them faith and to call them this is but another errour for doubtlesse God decreed to give his people faith and to call them at the same time when he decreed to justifie them and all with one simple act from all eternity but what meanes those other words they are justified as soone as they have any being will they say the child must first be borne before God decree to save it and if they say by this word being they meane in the decree of God then I demand what they meane by those words as soone as they had any c. will they say there was time beyond the decree of God thus they are in a circle not knowing where to get out This should have beene inserted at the end of the answer to the first Errour Pag 6. Good Reader I pray thee correct such faults in this Booke as by oversight hath escaped the Presse as page 2. line 17. for righteousnesse read righteousnesses and for the Title on certaine pages a briefe Answer read a briefe and plaine Answer and for the names of those that professe this heresie here condemned for Antenomeans and Antinomeans read Antinomians FINIS

and his Commandements are not grievous 1 Joh. 5.3 But if they love God why doe they despise his Law which saith Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soule and with all thy might these words I command thee this day Deut. 6.5.6 and where is their love to Christ they boast so much of for he saith these words in answer to the Lawyer This is the first and great Commandement in the Law to love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and vvith all thy soule and vvith all thy mind and the second is like unto it thou shalt love thy neighbour as thy selfe on these tvvo Commandements hang all the Lavv and the Prophets Mat. 22.37.38 And Moses spake the same words of the second Table saying Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thy selfe Levit. 19.18 so that you see the sweet harmony between Christ and Moses and the same was with Paul who saith Thou shalt not commit adultery kill nor steale nor beare false witnesse nor covet love worketh no ill to his neighbour therefore love is the fulfilling of the Law Rom. 13.9 10. then doth love drive them from the law saith David Oh hovv I love thy lavv and what followes it is my meditation all the day Psal 119.97 thy testimonies are my delight and what followes and my councellours ver 24. Unlesse thy law had beene my delight I had perished in mine affliction I will never forget thy precepts for with them thou hast quickned me ver 92.93 tha● is the shewing him his duty revived his dull spirits that began to flagge and faint but these men despise the Law of God because it is sent by Moses but saith Christ had ye beleeved Moses ye would have beleeved me for he wrote of me and if ye will not beleeve his writings how shall ye beleeve my words John 5.46.47 Moses told them that the seed of ●he woman should breake the serpents head Gen. 3.15 and that the Lord thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the middest of thee of thy brethren like unto me unto him shall ye hearken and he shall speake unto them all that I command him Deut. 18.18 and saith the Lord This is my beloved Sonne heare him Mat. 17.5 the Apostle to set forth the faithfulnesse of Christ compares him with faithfull Moses for saith he Christ was faithfull to him that appointed him as also Moses was faithfull in all his house Heb. 3.2 then why must Moses be so despised who was as faithfull to the Lord as ever man was but yet the message was the Lords then why must Gods law be despised because you like not the messenger that brings it Againe Christ cleares the law of Moses from their false glosses but it seemes in their conceit that Moses hath so defiled it that Christ is not able to cleare it againe except he take it quite away for they are not minded to make it a rule to beleevers although they perish by swarving from it as that cursed Whoremonger that is so busie to broach those sweet tolerations for his owne vilany and for such as he vvho esteeme the law of God as a heavy burden to them and as a bridle to restraine them from their sweet pleasures in sinne but if they leave this rule they must needs offer polluted bread to the Lord and the blind and the lame and the sick in their offering vvhich is evill that their governour vvould not be pleased vvith nor accept their persons then cursed be that deceiver that hath in his flocke a male and offereth unto the Lord a corrupt thing Mal. 1.7 8 9 14. if the Lord vvrite unto you the great things of his law and you count them as a strange thing Hosea 8.12 If you doe not make the law of God your guide you must needs bring strange fire to the Lord as the Sonnes of Aaron did and perished for their presumption Levit. 10.12 for vvho required these things at your hands to tread my Courts to vvhat purpose is all that ye doe bring no more vaine oblations it is iniquity my soule hateth them they are a trouble to me I cannot beare them Isa 1.11.12.13.14 see Amos 5.25.26 He that killeth an oxe is as if he slew a man and he that sacrificeth a lambe as if he cut off a dogges necke he that offereth an oblation as if he offered swines blood and he that burneth Incense as if he blessed an Idoll the reason is because they have chosen their owne vvayes Isa 66.3 thus saith the Lord stand in the vvay and see aske for the old pathes vvhere is the good vvay and vvalke therein and ye shall finde rest for your soules but they laid vve vvill not vvalke therein Heare O earth I vvill bring evill upon this people the fruit of their owne thoughts because they have not harkened to my law but rejected it then it followes to vvhat purpose cometh their incense to me from Sheba your offerings are not acceptable nor your sacrifices sweet unto me Jer. 6.16.19.20 these people are like unto King Saul vvho for●ooke the commandement of the Lord and then vvould goe offer the sacrifice of his owne devising but to obey had beene better then sacrifice and to harken then the fat of Rams 1 Sam. 15.22 so these men forsake the law of God and say that it is no rule for beleevers and then they say that love will move them to something unrequired not as any duty nor done in obedience to the Lord but out of free love and meere good will and curtisie but I say if it be not done by the rule and weighed in the ballance of the Sanctuary but onely of their owne head God will say of them as he said of Saul Rebellion is as the sinne of witchcraft and stubbornnesse is as iniquity and idolatry because thou hast rejected the word of the Lord he also hath rejected thee from being King 1 Sam. 15.23 and now O Israel what doth the Lord require of thee but to feare the Lord thy God and to walke in all his wayes and to love him and to serve him with all thy heart and with all thy soule and to keep the Commandements of the Lord and his statutes which I command thee this day for thy good Deut. 10.12 13. but they will answer that their free grace hath freed them from all duties so that they doe not stand in feare to oftend the Lord neither are they bound to walke in all his wayes nor to serve the Lord with all their heart and soule nor to endeavour to keep his lawes and statutes for their good this they say is legall and but the words of Moses and they can love God and this they can shew sufficiently from their free will unrequired of God or done in obedience to his law for it is no rule for them neither doe they acknowledge any duty to it Againe they are not acquainted with the graces of Gods
