retaine still in us till it be quite wasted and then there is no reparation so that the body is still the same whilst the soul is in it both in respect first of continuation secondly of the forme of man thirdly of the forme of mixtion fourthly of the solid homogeneall parts fifthly of all the heterogeneall sixthly of the radicall moisture and naturall heat so that if there be any deperdition it is in respect of the fluid parts only and that so slowly and insensibly that there is no reason why wee should thinke the body of an old man to be any other then what it was in child-hood and if it were not the same it could not be the fit subject of generation and corruption nutrition augmentation and alteration Lastly for his Similies they will not hold for a ship which is all new timbered though it be called the same in vulgar speech yet indeed is not the same for the forme which remaines is onely artificiall and accidentall which ought not to carry away the name of identity or diversity from the materialls which are substantiall Secondly the Thames is the same river now that heretofore not in respect of the water which is still flowing but in respect of the same springs that feed it the same channell that contains it and the same bankes that restraine it so that the Thames is still the same but the water without these other makes not the Thames neither is there any consequence from a fluid to a solid body Thirdly a glasse full of sea-water is the same glasse when it 's full and empty but the water is not the same which is taken out of divers parts of the sea I meane not the same individuall water though it be the same specificall to wit of the same sea no more then two branches lopt off from a tree are the same though the tree be the same Fourthly the soule of a newly dead man united to another body will not make it the same identicall body he lived with before his death for if the soule of Dives had entered into the scabby body of Iob or Lazarus had that been his indenticall body which hee left then that tongue of Iob or Lazarus which was must be tormented in flames and that tongue of Dives which was shall ●cape is this justice If the soule of Lazarus when it was foure dayes absent from ●he body had not returned to that body ●hat was his and which Christ raised but to the body of some other that had been doubtlesse no resurrection of Lazarus his body but a transmigration of Lazarus his soule In the Postscript Sir Kenelme doth not conceive grace to be a quality infused by God into the soule but a concatenation rather or complex of motives that encline a man to piety and set on foot by Gods grace and favour 'T is true wee are not justified by any inherent or infused quality in us which the Romanists call gratia gratis data for when the Scripture speaks of our justification it speaks of that grace which is set in opposition to workes not only such as may be done by a naturall man out of the light of reason but such as are called the gifts of Gods Spirit for Abraham was justified not by his workes but by faith and wee are justified by faith not by the workes of the Law If of grace then not of workes otherwise grace were not grace Faith there is 〈◊〉 taken for a quality but for the object a●prehended by faith which is Christ 〈◊〉 grace in the matter of Justification is tak●● for the free acceptation mercy and goo●nesse of God in Christ. By this grace w● are saved and this was given us before th● world was made therefore this grace ca● signifie nothing inherent in us But if we● take the word Grace in a larger extent the● it signifieth every thing freely given fo● gratia is from gratis so Nature it self the gifts of Nature are graces for we deserved them not Ex gratia nos fecit Deus 〈◊〉 ex gratia refecit So in a stricter sense thos● spirituall gifts of God which more neerl● cencerne our salvation are called 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 graces in Scripture faith hope charity an● other Christian vertues are called graces yet they are qualities the gifts of prophecying teaching or evangelizing are qualities and yet are graces For to every one o● us is given grace according to the measure o● the gift of Christ. Eloquence is that grace which was diffused in Christs lips The Gospel is that grace under which wee are ●ot under the Law therefore though the ●●ace by which we are justified is no qua●●ty i●herent in us yet wee must not deny ●ut those graces by which wee are sancti●ed are qualities But to say with Sir Ke●elme that the accidents of misfortune the ●entlenesse and softnesse of nature the impre●editated chance of hearing a Sermon should ●ake up that which we call justifying grace ●or of this he speaketh is a harsh and dan●erous phrase and contradictory to his ●wne position for what is gentlenesse and ●oftnesse of nature but qualities and yet ●ee will have them to make up that grace ●y which man is converted and so he will ●ave our conversion or justification to de●end on our selves And thus have I briefly pointed at the ●istakes of this noble and learned Knight ●hose worth and ingenuity is such that ●ee will not take it amisse in mee to vindi●ate the truth which is the thing I one●y aime at The Moone hath her spots and ●he greatest men have their failings No man is free from errour in this life Truth could never yet be monopolized th● great Merchants of spirituall Babylon have not ingrossed it to themselves nor was it ever tyed to the Popes Keyes for all thei● brags The God of truth send us a time wherein mercy and truth may meet together righteousnesse and peace may kisse each other Amen FINIS ●his ●eface 〈◊〉 3.
