pass to his Third Particular to wit that God breathed it to wit mans spirit into Adam This I do deny for this reason no where the Scripture saith so Secondly The Scripture testifieth that the Spirit of man was by God given to man and that man hath power over it as is before excepted Eceles 12. 7. Prov. 25. 28. Therefore mans Spirit cannot be that Spirit which God breathed into Adam by which man became a living soul for these Reasons mans Spirit is mutable and may be defiled and imprisoned c. Captivated by mans submitting to the Devil and treacherous dealing with it Mal. 2. 14 c. But man hath not power over the breath of God that God breathed into Adam by which man became a living Soul neither can the wicked one touch that to wit the Breath of God By it were the Heavens made and all the Host of them Psal 37. 6. The breath of our Nostrills the anointed Lord Lam. 4. 20. by which man became a Living Soul that is the true light which lighteth every man which cometh into the World Adam was a man and his Spirit the candle and he was lighted as it is implyed by holy Scriptures for every man is lighted c. By what is written it may appear that mans Spirit was not breathed into Adam but given of God to man and that the breath that God breathed into Adam was another Spirit c. By what is written it may appear that Thomas Hicks knoweth not that Spirit by which man became a living Soul or the second Adam that 's made a quickening Spirit 1 Cor. 15. 45 c. Fourthly He saith it was in every man in every man is mans spirit or else mans body would be dead But mans spirit is not the light within as hath before been proved and yet the light shineth in man for it shineth in darkness and is through all and the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withall 1 Cor. 12. 7. If it be hid it is hid in them that are lost 2 Cor. 4. 3. Yea in the midst of Idolators is the holy One as before hath been proved Hos 11. 8 c. Fifthly Thomas Hicks saith That they that did worship the light within were Idolaters and breakers of Gods Commandments This I do deny for these Reasons No holy Scripture saith so Secondly Those Gentiles that had not the Law in a Book without them did by nature the things contained in the Law and then they knew God whom no man can know except he keepeth his Commandments saith John He that saith he knoweth God and keepeth not his Commandments is a Lyar 1 Joh. 2. 4. Now Paul saith the Gentiles knew God Rom. 1. 21. because saith he That which may be known of God is manifest in them for God hath shewn it to them Rom. 1. 19 c. If so then they did by nature the things contained in the Law and at that time they were Disciples of the Lord For the promise of the Manifestation of the Lord is onely to the Disciples not to the world Jo. 14. 21 c. To this Thomas Hicks must confess for the Scripture cannot be broken c. Again It is written that when they knew God they glorified him not as God neither were they thankful neither did they like to retain God in their knowledg but changed the truth for a lye to wit for false gods and false worships c. And then they were Idolaters But when they did things by nature contained in the Law then they knew God and were no Idolaters c. By what is written it may appear that they which worship the light within when they worshipped the light or divine nature were not Idolaters c. Sixthly Thomas Hicks saith that the light within is not Christ but mans spirit That the light within is not mans spirit before is proved That Christ is the light and that the light is come into the World Christ testifieth himself John 3. 19. and many are witnesses that do believe for he that doth believe hath the Witness in himself 1 John 5. 10. That the Son of God is come and hath given us yea thousands of us understanding to know him c. And this is life eternal to know the Only true God and Jesus Christ whom he hath sent John 17. 3. Glory be to God for ever and for evermore Amen Seventhly Thomas Hicks saith That whilst Christ was figured out in Types he was not actually in being This I do deny for this Reason No holy Scripture saith so Secondly Christ saith before Abraham was I am and John saith he was in the world before me as before is proved And David saith Why do the Heathen rage and the people imagine a vain thing the Kings of the Earth set themselves and the Rulers take Councel together against the Lord and against his anointed Psal 2. 12. Again he saith the Lord said unto my Lord sit thou at my right hand untill I make thine enemies my footstool Who is this that David in spirit calls Lord if not Christ Again Peter speaking of Christ saith he went and preached unto the spirits in Prison which sometime were disobedient in the dayes of Noah Again it is written he is the head of the Church and that all things are made by him If so by what is written it may appear that Christ was before the World was and was actual whilst he was figured out in Types c. Oh! Is not this man a great Lyar. Eighthly Thomas Hicks saith That the word by which God made the World was not the Christ This I do deny for these Reasons No holy Scripture saith so Secondly Because God made the Worlds by his Son Heb. 1. 2. Again It is written by the Word of the Lord were the Heavens made Psal 33. 6. Again his name is called the Word of God Again In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God all things were made by him and without him was not any thing made In him was life and the life was the light of men c. Mark then the light of men was from the beginning the Word by which God made the Worlds c. It is written the Father the Word and the Holy-ghost are One Oh! The Ignorance of this man he denyeth the light within to be Christ Again he denyeth Christ to be actually in being whilst he was figured out in Types Again doth he not deny the present being of Christ in the World in denying the light within to be the Christ Again doth he not deny the everlasting being of Christ in saying the Word by which God made the Worlds is not the Christ Again doth not he deny him that all the Prophets give their Testimony to that whosoever believeth on him shall not perish but have everlasting life c. Thou wandring Star Repent or else for thee the midst of darkness is
