A70157 A just defence and vindication of Gospel ministers and Gospel ordinances against the Quakers many false accusations, slanders and reproaches. In ansvver to John Horwood his letter, and E.B. his book, called, A just and lawful tryal of the ministers and teachers of this age, and several others. Proving the ministers calling and maintenance just and lawful, and the doctrine of perfection by free justification, preached by them, agreeable to the scriptures. VVith the Quakers objections answered. And the Quakers perfection by hearkning to, and obeying a light within them, proved contrary to the scriptures. And their practices in ten particulars proved contrary to the commands and examples of Christ and his apostles. By a lover of gospel ministers and gospel ordinances.

any_o conference_n with_o the_o papist_n armenian_n pelagian_n and_o familist_n that_o they_o all_o hold_v plead_v and_o maintain_v that_o there_o be_v a_o light_n in_o every_o man_n conscience_n

that_o you_o be_v my_o disciple_n if_o you_o have_v love_v one_o to_o another_o yet_o it_o be_v also_o true_a which_o the_o apostle_n john_n say_v 14._o we_o know_v that_o we_o be_v translate_v from_o

forgive_v we_o our_o debt_n as_o we_o also_o forgive_v our_o debtor_n now_o when_o god_n have_v give_v we_o a_o heart_n to_o forgive_v the_o wrong_n and_o injury_n of_o man_n against_o we_o it_o be_v a_o good_a sign_n of_o god_n forgive_a of_o we_o and_o this_o the_o disciple_n of_o christ_n do_v evidence_n 5._o when_o christ_n say_v unto_o they_o if_o thy_o brother_n trespass_n against_o thou_o seven_o time_n a_o day_n and_o seven_o time_n a_o day_n return_v say_v i_o repent_v thou_o shall_v forgive_v he_o and_o the_o apostle_n say_v unto_o the_o lord_n increase_v our_o faith_n the_o

many_o trespass_n against_o they_o for_o if_o a_o man_n have_v no_o apprehension_n of_o god_n mercy_n in_o forgive_a his_o sin_n he_o can_v have_v no_o true_a seel_v bowel_n of_o mercy_n to_o

the_o same_o that_o we_o can_v but_o forgive_v other_o 9_o for_o as_o the_o apostle_n say_v the_o love_n of_o christ_n constrain_v we_o and_o you_o yourselves_o be_v teach_v of_o god_n to_o love_v one_o another_o now_o i_o hope_v by_o this_o you_o will_v be_v convince_v that_o this_o doctrine_n of_o be_v justify_v and_o save_v only_o by_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n be_v no_o doctrine_n

and_o the_o apostle_n write_v to_o timothy_n say_v he_o be_v a_o good_a soldier_n of_o jesus_n christ_n 12._o and_o say_v fight_v the_o good_a fight_n of_o faith_n for_o every_o christian_n have_v three_o great_a enemy_n to_o fight_v against_o so_o long_a as_o they_o live_v the_o devil_n the_o world_n and_o the_o flesh_n and_o i_o say_v you_o be_v no_o christian_n if_o you_o do_v not_o find_v these_o enemy_n to_o fight_v against_o christ_n be_v call_v the_o captain_n of_o our_o faith_n 2._o i_o marvel_v that_o you_o quaker_n be_v so_o proud_a to_o think_v and_o say_v you_o be_v more_o perfect_a than_o the_o apostle_n paul_n but_o you_o say_v that_o paul_n have_v overcome_v his_o corruption_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v 9_o that_o the_o apostle_n say_v that_o he_o have_v a_o thorn_n in_o the_o flesh_n the_o messenger_n of_o satan_n to_o buffet_v he_o for_o this_o thing_n i_o beseech_v the_o lord_n thrice_o that_o it_o may_v depart_v from_o i_o and_o he_o say_v unto_o i_o my_o grace_n be_v sufficient_a for_o thou_o now_o by_o that_o thorn_n in_o the_o flesh_n be_v understand_v some_o corruption_n or_o some_o temptation_n which_o he_o be_v trouble_v with_o and_o be_v to_o war_n and_o fight_v against_o it_o so_o long_o as_o he_o live_v for_o the_o lord_n deny_v his_o petition_n to_o take_v it_o away_o but_o answer_v he_o my_o grace_n be_v sufficient_a to_o support_v and_o uphold_v thou_o wherefore_o know_v that_o so_o long_o as_o the_o church_n of_o god_n in_o general_n or_o any_o member_n in_o particular_a have_v spiritual_a enemy_n so_o long_o be_v they_o in_o a_o warfare_n but_o the_o church_n and_o people_n of_o god_n have_v spiritual_a enemy_n so_o long_o as_o they_o live_v in_o this_o world_n therefore_o be_v in_o a_o ware_a condition_n so_o long_o as_o they_o live_v in_o this_o world_n but_o you_o object_n object_n the_o apostle_n john_n say_v he_o that_o commit_v sin_n be_v of_o the_o devil_n 8._o i_o answer_v answ_n by_o the_o commit_n of_o sin_n be_v mean_v for_o a_o man_n to_o give_v himself_o up_o witting_o and_o willing_o to_o sin_n to_o love_v it_o and_o delight_n in_o it_o now_o a_o christian_a may_v say_v as_o the_o apostle_n paul_n say_v 17._o i_o do_v the_o evil_a that_o i_o will_v not_o so_o that_o it_o be_v no_o more_o i_o that_o do_v it_o but_o sin_n that_o dwell_v in_o i_o also_o the_o apostle_n say_v 9_o he_o that_o be_v bear_v of_o god_n sin_v not_o for_o his_o seed_n remain_v in_o he_o to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o as_o a_o christian_a be_v regenerate_v or_o bear_v of_o god_n the_o regenerate_a part_n sine_v not_o but_o there_o be_v in_o every_o christian_a a_o unregenerate_a part_n 25._o which_o some_o time_n as_o the_o apostle_n say_v rebell_v against_o the_o law_n of_o my_o mind_n or_o regenerate_a part_n and_o lead_v i_o captive_a unto_o the_o law_n of_o sin_n which_o be_v in_o my_o member_n then_o i_o myself_o though_o a_o apostle_n in_o my_o mind_n serve_v the_o law_n of_o god_n but_o in_o my_o flesh_n or_o unregenerate_a part_n the_o law_n of_o sin_n but_o some_o of_o you_o do_v far_a object_n and_o say_v that_o adam_n in_o paradise_n be_v perfect_a and_o in_o his_o innocency_n have_v no_o sin_n in_o he_o and_o all_o that_o be_v regenerate_v and_o bear_v again_o be_v as_o righteous_a as_o adam_n be_v in_o innocency_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o every_o believer_n be_v as_o righteous_a in_o and_o through_o christ_n the_o second_o adam_n as_o adam_n be_v in_o the_o estate_n of_o innocency_n and_o have_v a_o more_o excellent_a righteousness_n than_o adam_n have_v before_o his_o fall_n for_o adam_n righteousness_n be_v but_o that_o righteousness_n in_o which_o he_o be_v create_v the_o righteousness_n of_o a_o man_n subject_a to_o be_v lose_v but_o the_o righteousness_n which_o every_o christian_a have_v in_o and_o by_o christ_n by_o which_o alone_o he_o be_v justify_v be_v the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n as_o the_o apostle_n say_v we_o be_v make_v the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n in_o he_o for_o it_o be_v the_o righteousness_n of_o he_o who_o be_v god_n mind_n in_o he_o not_o in_o yourselves_o for_o if_o our_o righteousness_n be_v in_o ourselves_o than_o may_v it_o be_v lose_v as_o adam_n be_v but_o that_o conceit_n of_o you_o of_o be_v as_o righteous_a in_o ourselves_o as_o adam_n be_v in_o paradise_n you_o quaker_n learn_v of_o the_o familist_n and_o adamite_n and_o as_o the_o adamite_n do_v many_o of_o they_o go_v many_o time_n naked_a to_o manifest_v that_o they_o be_v as_o perfect_a as_o adam_n be_v so_o have_v many_o of_o your_o quaker_n go●e_v up_o and_o down_o naked_a to_o manifest_v that_o they_o be_v as_o perfect_a as_o adam_n be_v in_o innocency_n who_o be_v naked_a and_o be_v not_o ashamed_a and_o some_o of_o your_o company_n have_v justify_v the_o lawfulness_n of_o their_o go_v naked_a because_o adam_n and_o eve_n be_v naked_a in_o paradise_n and_o be_v not_o ashamed_a but_o all_o this_o do_v proceed_v from_o your_o ignorance_n of_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n by_o faith_n by_o which_o alone_o we_o be_v make_v perfect_a not_o in_o ourselves_o but_o in_o christ_n according_a to_o that_o say_n of_o the_o apostle_n 7._o not_o by_o work_n of_o righteousness_n which_o we_o have_v do_v but_o according_a to_o his_o mercy_n he_o save_v we_o that_o be_v justify_v by_o his_o grace_n we_o shall_v be_v make_v heir_n according_a to_o the_o hope_n of_o eternal_a life_n but_o i_o say_v you_o be_v ignorant_a of_o this_o righteousness_n of_o justification_n go_v about_o to_o establish_v a_o imaginary_a righteousness_n in_o yourselves_o by_o which_o you_o rob_v christ_n of_o his_o glory_n and_o take_v the_o glory_n due_a to_o he_o unto_o yourselves_o and_o i_o have_v be_v the_o large_a in_o this_o point_n that_o so_o you_o may_v be_v convince_v of_o this_o your_o gross_a error_n for_o if_o you_o err_v in_o this_o you_o err_v in_o the_o foundation_n and_o stumble_v at_o christ_n the_o cornerstone_n who_o will_v break_v you_o in_o piece_n but_o if_o a_o man_n hold_v the_o foundation_n and_o build_v upon_o this_o foundation_n 15._o gold_n silver_z precious_a stone_n wood_n

that_o our_o minister_n do_v not_o preach_v to_o maintain_v people_n in_o sin_n but_o contrary_a they_o preach_v that_o we_o be_v justify_v and_o make_v perfect_a in_o and_o by_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n alone_o which_o righteousness_n apprehend_v by_o faith_n do_v draw_v the_o soul_n out_o in_o love_n to_o god_n in_o christ_n which_o love_n of_o christ_n do_v constrain_v they_o to_o
