A47125	The arraignment of worldly philosophy, or, The false wisdom its being a great hinderance to the Christian faith, and a great enemy to the true divine wisdom / by George Keith.	Keith, George, 1639?-1716.	1694 (1694)	Wing K143; ESTC R1585	27,083	30

foolishness_n to_o the_o greek_n that_o seek_v after_o wisdom_n to_o wit_n the_o worldly_a philosophy_n as_o well_o as_o a_o stumble_a block_n to_o the_o jew_n 4._o both_o platonist_n and_o stoic_n place_v all_o their_o happiness_n in_o a_o inward_a principle_n lodge_v within_o themselves_o which_o though_o some_o own_a to_o be_v god_n yet_o they_o great_o err_v in_o not_o understand_v in_o acknowledge_v that_o all_o divine_a influence_n and_o communication_n flow_v from_o god_n into_o man_n through_o the_o man_n christ_n jesus_n our_o alone_a mediator_n and_o therefore_o any_o religion_n they_o have_v be_v mix_v with_o great_a ignorance_n and_o error_n or_o not_o understand_v the_o necessity_n of_o the_o one_o mediator_n in_o who_o god_n have_v place_v all_o fullness_n of_o the_o divine_a influence_n and_o communication_n of_o grace_n and_o truth_n light_n and_o life_n out_o of_o who_o we_o be_v to_o receive_v our_o several_a measure_n as_o our_o faith_n be_v exercise_v on_o he_o and_o as_o our_o dependence_n be_v upon_o he_o even_o as_o the_o member_n depend_v upon_o the_o head_n and_o the_o branch_n on_o the_o root_n for_o life_n and_o nourishment_n but_o they_o place_v all_o within_o themselves_o even_o of_o what_o they_o do_v or_o can_v enjoy_v of_o god_n be_v in_o a_o great_a error_n even_o as_o much_o as_o who_o shall_v say_v the_o branch_n have_v all_o within_o it_o that_o make_v it_o fruitful_a or_o the_o member_n of_o the_o body_n have_v all_o within_o they_o that_o make_v they_o live_v and_o move_v so_o no_o dependence_n upon_o the_o head_n christ_n the_o mediator_n betwixt_o god_n and_o man_n yea_o this_o error_n be_v so_o great_a that_o whoever_o hold_v it_o as_o too_o many_o do_v at_o this_o day_n as_o well_o as_o former_o they_o make_v themselves_o as_o god_n or_o equal_a to_o he_o for_o it_o be_v the_o alone_a perfection_n and_o dignity_n of_o god_n to_o have_v all_o within_o himself_o and_o need_v nothing_o without_o himself_o for_o even_o the_o man_n christ_n have_v not_o all_o from_o within_o himself_o but_o have_v god_n to_o be_v his_o head_n as_o god_n have_v give_v he_o to_o be_v our_o head_n as_o he_o teach_v concern_v himself_o my_o father_n be_v great_a than_o i_o and_o as_o the_o father_n have_v life_n in_o himself_o so_o he_o have_v give_v to_o the_o son_n to_o have_v life_n in_o himself_o that_o he_o may_v quicken_v whosoever_o he_o will_v therefore_o we_o read_v that_o in_o his_o prayer_n to_o the_o father_n he_o lift_v up_o his_o eye_n to_o heaven_n joh._n 17._o 1._o expect_v to_o be_v hear_v from_o thence_o yea_o in_o his_o compare_v his_o disciple_n to_o the_o branch_n and_o himself_o to_o the_o vine_n and_o his_o father_n to_o the_o husbandman_n this_o great_a mystery_n be_v hold_v forth_o how_o as_o our_o dependence_n be_v on_o the_o man_n christ_n so_o his_o dependence_n be_v on_o the_o father_n for_o as_o the_o vine_n give_v sap_n and_o nourishment_n to_o the_o branch_n so_o the_o husbandman_n give_v earth_n and_o soil_n to_o the_o vine_n it_o be_v a_o great_a part_n of_o the_o husbandman_n work_n to_o put_v fat_a or_o good_a earth_n to_o the_o root_n of_o the_o tree_n as_o well_o as_o to_o prune_v and_o dress_v the_o branch_n of_o it_o and_o he_o do_v receive_v of_o the_o father_n these_o divine_a gift_n that_o he_o give_v and_o still_o give_v to_o his_o church_n 5._o none_o of_o all_o the_o philosopher_n teach_v remission_n of_o sin_n and_o justificasion_n by_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n and_o faith_n in_o it_o or_o understand_v that_o evangelical_n mystery_n how_o christ_n be_v wound_v for_o our_o transgression_n and_o be_v bruise_v for_o our_o iniquity_n and_o that_o by_o his_o stripe_n we_o be_v heal_v and_o how_o he_o do_v bear_v our_o sin_n in_o his_o body_n on_o the_o tree_n and_o make_v peace_n for_o we_o by_o the_o blood_n of_o his_o cross_n but_o they_o place_v their_o whole_a acceptance_n upon_o their_o virtue_n and_o good_a work_n though_o divers_a of_o they_o profess_v platonist_n and_o stoic_n as_o well_v as_o peripatetic_n and_o particular_o aristotle_n in_o his_o ethic_n that_o what_o virtue_n and_o good_a work_n they_o do_v bring_v forth_o be_v from_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d some_o divine_a thing_n or_o principle_n within_o they_o but_o that_o this_o be_v a_o great_a error_n in_o they_o paul_n do_v abundant_o prove_v both_o out_o of_o his_o epistle_n to_o the_o roman_n and_o galatian_n that_o as_o the_o jew_n be_v not_o justify_v before_o god_n by_o any_o work_n of_o the_o law_n so_o neither_o be_v the_o gentile_n but_o all_o be_v guilty_a before_o god_n for_o whatsoever_o the_o law_n say_v it_o say_v to_o they_o that_o be_v under_o the_o law_n that_o every_o mouth_n may_v be_v stop_v and_o the_o whole_a world_n become_v guilty_a before_o god_n now_o this_o that_o make_v the_o whole_a world_n guilty_a and_o stop_v every_o mouth_n be_v the_o law_n within_o which_o be_v from_o the_o divine_a principle_n see_v the_o great_a part_n of_o the_o world_n have_v no_o law_n without_o and_o therefore_o he_o conclude_v that_o no_o man_n be_v justify_v by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n but_o by_o the_o faith_n of_o christ_n all_o be_v justify_v who_o have_v that_o faith_n which_o faith_n be_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n and_o be_v wrought_v in_o every_o one_o that_o have_v it_o by_o the_o mighty_a power_n of_o god_n which_o faith_n be_v a_o live_a faith_n and_o be_v always_o accompany_v with_o good_a work_n 6._o though_o many_o of_o the_o ancient_a philosopher_n profess_v to_o believe_v the_o immortality_n of_o soul_n and_o future_a reward_n and_o punishment_n to_o man_n soul_n yet_o they_o have_v no_o belief_n of_o the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o body_n as_o be_v clear_v not_o only_o no_o from_o their_o own_o book_n but_o also_o from_o the_o testimony_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n for_o when_o paul_n preach_v to_o they_o at_o athens_n jesus_n and_o the_o resurrection_n certain_a philosopher_n of_o the_o epicurean_o and_o stoic_n mock_v he_o and_o call_v he_o babbler_n now_o as_o this_o their_o denial_n of_o the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o dead_a do_v proceed_v from_o the_o two_o aforementioned_a error_n hold_v by_o many_o both_o then_o and_o at_o this_o day_n viz._n that_o the_o body_n of_o man_n be_v no_o part_n of_o he_o but_o the_o soul_n prison_n and_o grave_n and_o that_o the_o body_n have_v no_o life_n or_o perception_n when_o unite_v to_o the_o soul_n so_o it_o do_v proceed_v from_o a_o 3d_o gross_a error_n as_o absurd_a as_o any_o of_o the_o 2_o former_a viz._n that_o the_o substance_n or_o first_o matter_n of_o earthly_a body_n differ_v in_o kind_n from_o heavenly_a body_n and_o consequent_o that_o no_o earthly_a body_n be_v convertible_a into_o a_o heavenly_a body_n and_o no_o animal_n body_n be_v convertible_a into_o a_o spiritual_a body_n and_o from_o such_o a_o great_a error_n the_o ignorance_n and_o unbely_a of_o those_o flow_v that_o do_v not_o believe_v that_o christ_n animal_n and_o visible_a body_n of_o flesh_n and_o blood_n be_v convert_v and_o change_v to_o be_v now_o in_o heaven_n a_o spiritual_a and_o heavenly_a body_n and_o as_o they_o do_v not_o believe_v this_o change_n of_o christ_n body_n the_o substance_n remain_v the_o same_o so_o nor_o do_v they_o believe_v that_o the_o body_n of_o the_o saint_n shall_v be_v change_v from_o animal_n to_o spiritual_a and_o from_o terrestrial_a to_o celestial_a and_o heavenly_a though_o the_o scripture-testimony_n be_v plain_a and_o express_v for_o such_o a_o change_n the_o substance_n of_o the_o body_n remain_v the_o same_o for_o if_o the_o substance_n do_v not_o remain_v the_o same_o the_o change_n will_v not_o be_v a_o conversion_n or_o transmutation_n but_o a_o exchange_n or_o permutation_n as_o when_o one_o change_v copper_n for_o gold_n by_o sell_v copper_n for_o gold_n this_o be_v quite_o another_o thing_n than_o when_o copper_n be_v transmute_v and_o convert_v into_o gold_n 7._o the_o ancient_a philosopher_n do_v not_o believe_v any_o general_a day_n of_o judgement_n or_o end_n of_o this_o world_n but_o most_o they_o do_v conceit_n that_o as_o it_o be_v from_o eternity_n in_o the_o manner_n and_o condition_n as_o it_o be_v now_o in_o roll_v and_o revolve_v in_o a_o continual_a sphere_n of_o generation_n and_o corruption_n even_o vegetable_n and_o animal_n as_o well_o as_o man_n so_o it_o will_v continue_v to_o eternity_n in_o the_o like_a manner_n and_o condition_n as_o it_o be_v now_o in_o still_o run_v round_o in_o a_o continual_a sphere_n of_o generation_n and_o corruption_n and_o of_o live_v and_o die_v and_o die_v and_o live_v again_o but_o as_o to_o this_o they_o be_v divide_v in_o opinion_n some_o hold_v that_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n that_o be_v thorough_o purge_v from_o all_o
