And Paul said when Iames Cephas and Iohn who seemed to be Pillars perceived the grace that was given unto me they gave unto me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship 2 Gala. 2.9 And by the grace of God I am what I am And his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vaine but I laboured more abundantly than they all yet not I but the grace of God which was with me 2 Titus 12. And the same Apostle saith that the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men teaching us that denying ungodliness and worldly lusts we should live soberly righteously and godly in this present World a Scriptum est 2 Cor. 13.3 You seek a proof of Christ speaking in me 1 Iohn 9. Know ye not that Christ is in you If not you are Reprobates Hebr. 13.5 1 Tim. 6.9 The seed of singularity is Is this grace any duties or ordinances Scripture or a Scriptum est as thou calls it or Sacraments Is not this grace Christ Iesus himself The light that inlightens every one that comes into the world even the Mystery which hath beene hid from ages and generations but now is made manifest to his Saints Thou goes on using many good expressions in the Scriptures I should rejoyce to see thee live the life of those that writ them then would thy conversation be without covetousness Thou wouldst see he that will be rich falls into temptation and a snare and into many hurtfull and foolish lusts which drown men in perdition and that the love of mony is the root of all evill Ah friend love thy own soul and set thy heart no longer upon silver and gold that lofty Salary thou receivest for thy lying Oratory Do not for the love of money delude the souls of so many as thou dost any longer If thou does it will be bitterness unto thee at the latter end Thou art discovered by the light of God and condemned by that pure principle of himself within thee As yet thou art rich in thy own conceit thou hast built thy nest high in the Airy wisdom of the world which is foolishness with God therefore art thou sent empty away Luke 1.53 Read James 4.6 Psal 138.6 Page 34. As for Verbosity whether that be not a weed in thy own Garden an error thy self art deeply guilty of the very babes and sucklings in Christ can witness against thee In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin Thy vain glorious Prayers and Houre-glasse Oratory do confirm it but he that refraineth his lips is wise Prov. 10.19 Page 35. Thou bids Furnish and fortifie your selves with spirituall weapons out of Gods Armory against your speciall corruptions every morning Dost thou not here set up the Scriptures to be Gods Armory and spiritual Weapons Where are they called so in the Bible Thou would seem to be religious but how short thou comes of brideling the tongue thy Verbosity in thy Book and thy Tautologies in thy Pulpit exercises clearly manifest And therefore is thy Religion vain James 1.26 Let the tender spirits feare with me herein I must deal with him a little in his own Weapon In the 41. page thou playes the Critick with the Greek word 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 1 John 3.9 where John sayes He that 's born of God 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 doth not commit sin that is sayes Thou He does not work sin as a man on his Trade c. What 's thy meaning to carp at the Translators rendering of that word Scapula's lexicon approves the word 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 committere peccatum He shews it to be a word of a various signification as 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Servare legem and divers others But thy end is seen and thou art judged herein to be under-propping that which the pure and powerful God of Heaven and Earth is throwing down So thou canst not prosper Read Ephes 4.32 The English runs As God for Christs sake but see if it be not in the Greek As God in Christ 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Is The Sophister would not cavill at this place it was not for his purpose this truly translated But this blind Guid strains at a gnat and swallows a Camel Mat. 23.24 Page 49. Thou directs them to receive Christ as held forth in an Ordinance to wit in the Ministry of the word and in the Sacraments Thou mightest have done well to have shewne who are the true Ministers and what the word is But I know thy meaning and do deny thee and thy Generation who run before you be sent Jer. 23.21 to be Ministers of Christ John 2.9 All his Ministers abide in his Doctrine but so do not you and therefore the Ministers of Antichrist you all are Where dost thou finde the word Sacrament in the Scriptures Thou holdest not fast the form of sound words 2 Tim. 1.13 Prove thy Traditions to be the Ordinances of Christ if thou canst and that they are appointed as means to convey Christ as thou affirmest Or else thou art so well known thou mayst not be trusted Thou hast an itching desire to be counted and received as an Apostle and be esteemed amongst thy unbelieving Jews as Peter was amongst the faithful and as Paul was amongst the Colossians For thou abidest not in his Doctrine 2 John 9.10 witness thy preaching of Original sin c. For thou sayes He that receives Christs Ministers receiveth him But then they must not receive thee for thou art no Minister of Christ Thou wouldest fain weare the Crown but cannot carry the Crosse yet thou sayes They must take Christ as Wives do their Husbands for better or worse for richer or poorer Does not this expression favour of the Popish Service-Book P. 50. Does it not argue thou still hast an affection to the Traditions of thy Romish Fore-Fathers but secretly for fear of thy Jews Mat. 19.27 Dost thou deserve to be received as a Minister of Christ like Peter and Paul for this Canst thou witness thy willingness to lose for Christ as well as to gain to suffer with him as well as to reign with him Peter could say Loe we have left all and followed thee Canst thou say so Thy Norwich journey will rise up in judgement against thee Peter was imprisoned with two Chains Acts 12.6 Pauls sufferings was foreshewed him and when some heard those things they wept and besought him not to go up to Jerusalem But Paul answered what mean ye to weep and to break my heart for I am ready not to be bound onely but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus O valiant Champion for Christ and his Cause Hadst thou been with Paul not ready onely to be bound but to die for the Doctrine thou hadst delivered thou wouldst have had more colour to have pleaded for Pauls Reception but instead of being ready to be bound thou runs away instead of

the Dark may stumble And the language of Babylon is Confusion In thy 46 page thou Queries why they fetch not joy from Heaven to comfort their Hearts against all their sorrowes on Earth c. What is the joy of the Holy Ghost so weak so little that it cannot comfort the heart against Sorrowes on Earth but thou must be thus posting them to fetch joy from Heaven Hadst thou ever tasted the joy and comfort of the Holy Ghost surely thou wouldst never thus have undervalued it But however if thou wilt needs be sending them to heaven it would not be amisse for thee to direct them the way if thou knowes it so well Page 252. Speaking of the glory of heaven Thou sayes it is Great Yea an exceeding excessive eternall weight of Glory and usest them words as Scripture 2 Cor. 4.17 But is the Word excessive set down in that place why dost thou adde to the Scripture Who ever reads the verse may read thee a lyar Then thou calls these words the highest Hyperbole that can be exprest and when thou hast done thou contradicts thy self saying Nec Christus nec coelnm patitur Hyperbolen Neither Christ nor Heaven can be Hyperbolized Thou presses People to that which thou hast as much need as they to practise Obedience and Patience which thou calls the shooes of the Gospel I wish thee so well that thou wert so shod Thou bids them be content with such things as they have though they have but from hand to mouth with food and rayment though they have no more The poor it seems must be preached unto patience and contentednesse without dainties and Ornaments but the Priests and the proud Ones who live in pomp and plenty may purchase Lands and possessions 1 Cor. 9.27 without any check as the proud Priests of Lincoln do Do not these men preaching that which they themselves practise not make themselves become Cast-awayes P. 27● Thou sayes If I had More of the world what hast thou not enough yet One hundred and fifty pounds a yeare for preaching besides a pretty Land thou hast purchased it might make me worse that needs not thou art bad enough already Is it not pitty thou should have more to make thee worse And yet wouldest be counted a Minister of the Gospel O blush and be ashamed More worldly vain unsavory in my spirit Here thou confessest thy self worldly vain unsavory in thy spirit * but confession without forsaking will not obtain remission And while thou art worldly vain unsavory in thy spirit thou art no true Minister of the Gospel Thou goes on saying If I had as much as others what still gaping after more gold and silver what never satisfied Thou hast yearly coming in as much as would maintain severall Families precious Sons and Daughters of the living God It s like I might be as sinful and sensuall as proud covetous and vain glorious as others Answ Thou art as sinful as sensuall as proud as covetous and vain glorious as many of the world who pretend not to that height and growth in Christianity as thou does P. 272. Thou sayes a man may have much of the world much wealth honour pleasure and much trouble sorrow and vexation with it both Scripture and experience attest the same Answ Thou mightest have spoken more plainly and have said thy own experience attests it For much honour wealth and pleasure thou hast and I know sometimes the witness for God arises in thee preaching self-deniall to thee P. 72. The light lets thee see thou lives not like a Minister of Christ Jesus but art a Minister of Antichrist for thou denies Christ Jesus to be come in the flesh by denying the substance of the Deity to be communicable unless thou wilt say Christ Jesus is not of the substance of the Deity and that 's plain blasphemy and thou preachest for gifts and Rewards living in pomp pride and fulness of the world that thou abidest not in the Doctrine of Christ And art one with the world in its wayes fashions and Customs And then the earthly man the rebellious part which would live at ease is tormented troubled and disquieted That this is true the witness for God within thee is my faithful Record Then thou goes on saying A man may have a little in and of the world yet enjoy much quiet and content of minde and comfort but thou does not say thy own experience can attest this No thou goes farre to fetch an example but to give thee thy due thou brings a good One with thee no lesse than the Apostle Paul himself Phil. 4.10 11 12 16.17 If seems thou couldst not finde one in all thy own flock Paul knew how to be abased and how to abound both to be full and to be hungry both to abound and suffer need In the 18th verse Thou sayes Paul triumphs as if all the world was his own and this was for one gift he received of Epaphroditus How many gifts hast thou received without witnessing such a true Triumphing Nay how many considerable gifts art thou able to send for the supply of the Saints necessities who suffer for the testimony of a good Conscience How many testimonies of thy love can thy Conscience bear thee witness thou hast sent to such out of the abundance of thy Treasury P. 246. Thou was asking why you do not fetch joy from Heaven to comfort your hearts against all your sorrows on earth and now page 274. Page 274. Thou sayes if Gods presence make Heaven above for joy glory and plenty sure Gods presence with you on earth is sufficient to make any condition even the meanest comfortable to you what can be wanting while God is with you Answ Then what needed thee to have hasted the people to fetch joy from Heaven since thou confessest his presence on earth is sufficient And how this expression agrees with that place of thine where thou sayes The joyes of Heaven exceeds and swallows up the joy of the Holy Ghost as the Sea doth a handful of earth Let the wise in heart judge P. 278. Thou sayes those will be found the happiest men of all at last who have had the most affliction Answ Then thou and thy Generation will be found very miserable P. 281. Speaking of Christs poverty Thou sayes when he wanted mony to pay Tribute He was glad to work a miracle for it How many hundred pounds hast thou received for thy preaching and never payd penny of the same towards assesments O the difference between Christ and Antichrist P. 291. Thy Counsel to such as walk in darkness and see no light is let them indeavour to fear God and obey the voice of his Servants that is sayes thou they should apply themselves to their duties to believe and fear and obey God and to use the means God hath appointed for their souls as to hear the word preached that is the voice of
