A47766	The snake in the grass: or, Satan transform'd into an angel of light Discovering the deep and unsuspected subtilty which is couched under the pretended simplicity of many of the principal leaders of those people call'd Quakers.	Leslie, Charles, 1650-1722.	1696 (1696)	Wing L1156; ESTC R216663	156,109	630

Ghost Which is Blasphemy And this must be the consequence if when Christ gave them his Commission to Baptize all Nations the Spiritual and Immediate Baptism with the Holy Ghost be meant and not the Ministerial and Mediate Baptism of Water And as this Outward Baptism with VVater was an Ordinance Instituted as a Means of Grace whereby the Inward Baptism with the Holy Ghost was convey'd it was therefore the Form appointed of Admission into the Society of the Church and thereby giving a Title to all the Privileges and Promises which are annexed to it And likewise it was a Publick and avowed owning of our Christianity Upon all which accounts it was necessary even where the Inward Baptism with the Holy Ghost was already attained As St. Peter said Acts 10.47 Can any Man forbid Water that these should be Baptized who have Receiv'd the Holy Ghost as well as we And St Paul tho' Converted and Instituted immediately from Heaven was Commanded to be Baptized with VVater And it is very observable that among those things wherein St. Paul was Instructed thus Immediately from Christ he tells us 1 Cor. 11.23 That one was the Institution of the Lords Supper Upon which he lays so great a stress that he charges grievous Diseases sent among the Corinthians and Death it self ver 30. and even Damnation ver 29. upon their Neglect and Abuse of this Holy Mystery How then wou'd he have Censur'd the Preaching down this and the other Sacrament of Baptism as Carnal and Hurtful things And let me here seriously mind them and Admonish others how their Neglect of the Outward Ordinances and Signs has lost to them the Reality and the thing signify'd For it had been impossible for any who had been kept in the constant Use and Practice of the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper to have forgot Christs Outward Dying and shedding of his Blood or to have turn'd it as many of the Quakers have done to mean nothing but his Spiritual Suffering within us and that Himself is nothing else but The Light within us Of this you have seen some proof already but you find more in Sect. 17. I say how cou'd any who frequently us'd to shew forth the Lord's Death by the visible Representation of it in the Sacrament of the Holy Communion by the Bread Broken like his Body and the VVine Powered forth as His Blood was upon the Cross how cou'd any who had practis'd this and seen Persons daily Baptiz'd into Christ 's Death How cou'd such a one ever have so much as Imagin'd How cou'd it ever have come into his Head to Spiritualize away the. Literal Humanity and Sufferings of Christ No It cou'd never have been done But the Enemy having once deluded Men into a neglect of the Outward Signs and Seals Pledges and Means of Grace whereby God Guarded and Fenced the Soul and Spiritual part of his Religion as a Kernel is by the Shell in which it grows the Devil having stoln from us the Body or Outward part of Religion the Soul soon disappear'd and left behind it a noisome Carcass of Religion For Religion can no more live and be preserv'd to us here while we are in the Body without Outward and Corporal Means than the Soul can live to us here while we are upon the Earth without our Body and hence the Corporal Service the presenting our Bodies as a living Sacrifice c. is call'd our Reasonable Service Rom. 12.1 And whoever goes about to separate the Bodily from the Spiritual Worship does as much Murther Religion as he that should separate a Man's Soul from his Body This is so necessary and plain a Truth that those who take upon them to abrogate the outward Institutions of Christ do at the same time Invent and set up others of their own as has been before observ'd Sect. 11. of the Quakers Institution of VVomens Preachings and VVomens Meetings at the same time that they threw off as Carnal the Sacraments of Christ's Institution SECT XV. Concerning the Satisfaction of Christ HErein the Quakers are direct Socinians For they positively deny the Satisfaction And this is no less a distinguishing Doctrine of the Socinians than their denying the Trinity and the Divinity of Christ. Mr. Penn Blasphemes it as both Irreligious and Irrational Reason against Railing 1673. p. 90. 91. 92. 93. His Arguments are the old Socinian Job Trot tho' I believe he knew it not only Good Wits jump'd For in his Invalidity of John Faldo's Vindication c. Printed the same year 1673. p. 413. He vindicates himself from an Imputation he says had been cast upon him for being a Socinian upon occasion of his Book call'd The Sandy Foundation shaken and says That he had not at that time ever read any one Socinian Book in all his Life if so much as lookt into one And if he had known this to have been Socinianism he wou'd not in his Winding-Sheet Printed 1672. have upbraided T. F. and H. H. so often with the reproach of being Socinians Sect. 1. Their belov'd Socinianism Socinian Agency the Spirit of Socinianism try'd according to that Discovery it has made of it self in their Lamentable yet Converted Agent Hen. Hedworth his Grim Socinian Cavils burston'd with Folly and Revenge 2. This Anti-Scriptural Socinian 7 The Scriptures Socinianiz'd 8. This Giddy-headed Socinian c. And yet Mr. Penn does it seems without knowing it perfectly Copy after these Socinians in all his Arguments against the Satisfaction of Christ As that there was no need of any Satisfaction to God's Justice for our sins That it is not call'd Unjust to Forgive a Debt without any Satisfaction thus confounding the Notions of Justice and Mercy for all Forgiveness proceeds from Mercy But Justice cannot Remit the least Farthing Else it were not Justice And what is Inconsistent with the Nature of Justice is Inconsistent with God for God is not only Just but He is Justice it self Justice in the Abstract the Highest and most Adequate Notion of Justice What room then is there for God's Mercy If he be all Justice where is his Mercy Answ God's Attributes do not Fight or Contradict one another They Magnifie and Exalt one another Thus God's Justice is Magnified in that it Exalts Full and Adequate Satisfaction His Wisdom is Magnified in finding out such Means as to do it And his Goodness or Mercy is equally Magnifi'd in affording those Means And all these are fulfill'd to the utmost that is Infinitely in the wonderful Oeconomy of our Salvation by the Satisfaction paid to God's Justice for our sins in the Sacrifice and Death of Christ which because of his Divine Nature was Full and Adequate Satisfaction and by his Human Nature the Satisfaction was paid by the same Nature which offended But upon the Socinian and Quaker Scheme one of God's Attributes must Fight with and Conquer the other one must subdue and beat down the other and his Justice must quit the Field to his Mercy This is
