rendred my self very Ridiculous and Obnoxious to the general Censure of his Auditory he may rest satisfied that I am not ambitious of his Favour experimentally knowing that it is a discredit to be praised by some And as for the Censure of his Auditory some of his Associates that understood Philosophy were ashamed of his Definition of Substance c. as I have been informed But as to the Judgment of his ignorant Mobb he may depend on it that I never have nor will court their Applause Having said thus much of the Ambiguity of words in a formal Acceptation I shall pass on to his Page 92. I asked D. Phillips who was present 4th Narr p. 93. and sat near where I stood this is false for I stood amongst the Crowd when this Query was proposed to me and is one in Unity with the Quakers whether that Blood that was let out of Christ's Side by the Spear was in being c. but he gave no reply Obser I do not remember what Answer I gave to this Query because sometimes G. K. would ask me one Question at the same time one or two of his Ministers would ask me another and sometimes I answered one sometimes the other but if I dis-respected him so far then as not to oblige him with an Answer if he will not be Angry nor call Names I will do it now My Opinion is that the Blood which was let out of Christ's Side by the Soldier 's Spear after he was Dead is not now existing under the same form of Blood as then it was Nevertheless I do not conceive that any Particle of it is Annihilated tho' it may be wonderfully changed as to those parts the Schools term its Accidents Ibid. I asked him i. e. D. P. again Whether he believed that the Blood that was outwardly shed was Meritorius to Justification 4th Narr p. 92. and that True Believers were justified by it He said he knew not what I meant by the word Merit or Meritorious I told him It was a Shame for him to pretend to be so Ignorant of the Signification of the Word that an ordinary School-Boy did know seeing he was a Scholar and did not long ago Commence Doctor of Physick at Leiden and had there a Latin Oration Obser The Narrator here is guilty of two Untruths the First is in saying that I said That I did not know what he meant by Merit or Meritorious The Second is That I had a Latin Oration at Leiden As to the First I am satisfied he hath designedly alter'd my Words by what he hath since told me whether the Second is to be attributed solely to his Ignorance of the Method of that University I shall not determine Ibid. I asked again Were Believers justified by the Merit of the Blood that was outwardly Shed He answered It was a part of the Offering I do conceive that that Act of the Soldiers piercing our Saviour's Side and letting out his Blood by the Wound made by the Spear abstractly consider'd is not the Meritorious cause of our Salvation but that it is the whole Offering whereby Believers are justified Ibid. I farther asked him what he did mean by the Offering Observ By the Offering I mean what the Author to the Hebrews hath left on record Chap. 9.14 15. in these words How much more shall the Blood of Christ who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without Spot to God purge your Consciences from dead Works to serve the living God And for this cause he is the Mediator of the New Testament that by means of Death for the Redemption of the Transgressions that were under the first Testament they which are called might receive the Promise of the eternal Inheritance * P. 93. And on this Head also I queried D. Phillips Whether Christ's Body was the same in Substance now in Heaven that it was on Earth And whether it was when on Earth a terrestrial Body He said he did not know what I meant by Substance Observ Here were some things by him said which I am apt to think some of his Friends have since acquainted him with and shewed him the Absurdity thereof which hath inclined him so notoriously to vary the state of the Query to undeceive the Reader I shall give him a more particular account thereof which was after this manner G. K. Daniel hath Christ now in Heaven the same Body that he had when here on Earth D. P. I do desire to know whether thou wouldest have me give my Opinion whether I do believe that Christ hath now in Heaven the same Flesh Blood and Bones that he had when here on Earth because here is a Minister of the Church of England that told me he did believe that Christ hath now in Heaven the same Flesh Blood and Bones Stomach and Guts that he had when here on Earth To this he gave no answer but Queried G. K. Is the Substance the same tho' its Accidents are changed D. P. I have no Notion or Idea of Substance without Accidents therefore prithee give me a Definition of such a Substance G. K. Substance is a Being or thing that doth depend on God Almighty and is the subject of Accidents c. As he was going on and making an Harangue concerning Substance I stop'd him by saying D. P. George this is little to the purpose I only desire a Definition of Substance G. K. Thou art a Fool. D. P. If I am a Fool few will admire thee for proposing thy Queries to me G. K. 'T is a Shame for a Doctor of Physick to be ignorant what Substance is Here he run into a Passion and shewed his Admirers what a Man of Temper he was Min. A Minister reproving him said Personal Reflections are not commendable Another Minister endeavouring to divert me from the Subject under debate said The Definition of Substance is little to the purpose D. P. How can any Person positively determine whether any Substance is the same when all its Accidents are changed unless he can have a distinct Idea of Substance separated from its Accidents Here G. K. having a little moderated his Passion replied G. K. Substance is a created Being D. P. So are Accidents created Beings G. K. They are produced Beings And presently desisted Querying and went on another Subject Observ Here are three things that I shall briefly consider First The Absurdity of this Clergy-man's Resurrection Secondly How G. K. treats his Opponents Thirdly The Learnedness of G. K's Definition of Substance As to the first Those that do assert that Christ hath now in Heaven the same Flesh Blood and Bones that he had when here on Earth do consequentially grant that every Man at the Resurrection shall have the same numerical Particles vitally re-united to his Soul that he had at the time of his Death If this is admitted then it necessarily follows that he that died an Infant shall rise in Stature like an Infant he that dyes
