A30520 A discovery of some part of the war between the kingdom of the Lamb and the kingdom of Anti-Christ held forth in this account of several disputes and queries between a Minister of Christ (really so) and one that hath the name of a Minister, but is proved to be a Minister and member of Anti-Christ by evident testimonies : and is a short account of the covetousnesse, ignorance, envy, and the fruits of darkness brought forth by C. Fowler ... / by Edw. Burrough. Burrough, Edward, 1634-1662. 1659 (1659) Wing B5999A; ESTC R27139 22,780 34

the_o athesm_n that_o be_v in_o their_o heart_n of_o he_o and_o his_o brethren_n answer_n now_o a_o atheist_n be_v one_o that_o deny_v god_n and_o athesm_n be_v deny_v of_o god_n according_a to_o

be_v the_o foundation_n and_o no_o other_o foundation_n can_v any_o man_n lie_v and_o upon_o he_o be_v the_o saint_n build_v in_o their_o faith_n and_o all_o their_o practice_n of_o religion_n for_o he_o be_v the_o corner_n stone_n as_o it_o be_v write_v and_o thus_o he_o have_v dishonour_v christ_n in_o set_v the_o scripture_n above_o he_o and_o take_v the_o honour_n from_o he_o and_o give_v

the_o error_n of_o such_o a_o doctrine_n again_o he_o affirm_v that_o a_o man_n at_o one_o and_o the_o self_n same_o time_n may_v be_v a_o minister_n of_o christ_n and_o a_o deceiver_n answ._n and_o here_o all_o may_v see_v the_o weakness_n and_o ignorance_n of_o this_o strange_a paradox_n and_o indeed_o which_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o scripture_n which_o say_v no_o man_n can_v serve_v two_o

be_v as_o much_o as_o he_o have_v say_v that_o one_o may_v be_v a_o minister_n of_o christ_n and_o yet_o a_o deceiver_n now_o a_o deceiver_n be_v one_o that_o follow_v the_o spirit_n of_o the_o
