A65860	The counterfeit convert, a scandal to Christianity and his unjustly opposing Quakerism to Christianity justly reprehended : and the true Christ, and Holy Scripures [sic] confessed by the Quakers : in opposition to two scandalous books falsly styled I. Quakerism withering, and Christianity reviving, II. Animadversions on G. Whitehead's book, Innocency triumphant.	Whitehead, George, 1636?-1723.	1694 (1694)	Wing W1922; ESTC R38605	40,748	92

is pretended by one Party This is falsly represented and perverted against G. W. in the first Part who did not represent those of G. K's Doctrin● mentioned but as pretended Fundamentals although T. C. has this falsehood pretended Fundamentals divers times over in his Introduction Whereas my Words are as is pretended by one Party relative to divers Accounts lately published in Print of some ●ate Divisions and Disputes about several Fundamental Doctrines of the Christian Faith as is pretended by one Party which therefore at least some whereof I grant to be such and do not call them pretended Fundamentals But that the late Division is pretended to be about them according as my Words are clear in our small Treatise referred to viz. The Christian Doctrine and Society of the People called Quakers p. 1. one of which Fundamental Doctrines which he says G. W. represents but as pretended Fundamentals is That Christ is in Heaven in his glorified Nature of Man Body and Soul God and Man both Introduction p. 2. And where have I contemned or opposed this Doctrine How Inadvertent and unjust art thou T. C. in this Do not I plainly declare in the same Treatise p. 3 That as Man Christ died for our Sins rose again and was received into Glory And p. 5. That Christ's Body that was Crucified by the power of God was raised from the Dead and that the same Christ that was Crucified ascended into Heaven and Glory and that his Flesh saw no Corruption it did not Corrupt But yet doubtless his Body was Changed into a more Glorious and Heavenly Condition than it was in when subject to divers Sufferings on Earth c. Where 's now the Contempt of his Person Mayst thou not be ashamed of thy false abusive Charge From my Saying the same Christ that was therein i. e. in the Body or Flesh Crucified thou falsly inferrest So then he that was nailed to the Cross and pierced was not Christ p. 24. Here thou quarrellest with the Apostles Doctrine and Language 1 P●t 3. 18. Being put to Death in the Flesh And ch 4. 1. Christ hath suffered for us in the Flesh. 1 John 4. 2. Jesus Christ is come in the Flesh And 2 John 7. And many Deceivers are entred into the World who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the Flesh. Mark here Christ suffered in the Flesh and Jesus Christ come in the Flesh. Was this to deny him that suffered on the Cross to be Christ or to Con●emn his Person No sure How sillily hast thou deduced many Inferences of this kind against us as if thou wert minded to be Litigious Again Thy inferring That he who was nailed ●o the Cross was not Christ but a Body a Vail a Garment of an Earthly Perishing Nature p. 24. Here again thou pervertest and abusest us Where did we ever say that he who so suffered was not Christ but a Body a Vail c. Seeing 〈◊〉 was Christ that suffered in the Flesh and his ●●esh was called the Vail Heb. 10. What Contempt to Christ or Denial of him was such Say●●g And where did ever any of us say that ●●s Body that was nailed to the Cross was of a ●●rishing Nature seeing his Flesh saw no Cor●●ption But thy great Offence is about I● Pennington's ●ords viz. We can never call the Bodily Gar●…t Christ p. 26 c. And what then is this 〈◊〉 Undervaluing or Contempt to Jesus Christ ●25 Is it not as true literally as a Man's Gar●ent cannot be the Man himself that wears it ●●d may it not be as true figuratively as Christ's Flesh was the Vail And that without any Contempt to him his Body or Flesh called the Vail Unless thou canst prove the Holy Apostle a Contemner thereof who used the same Expression He i. e. Christ hath Consecrated for us a new and living way through the Vail i. e. his Flesh Heb. 10. 20. That Christ Jesus as to his entire Existence or Being doth not consist only of the Body or Flesh that was Crucified Thou grants as much not only in thy Confessing his Person as joyned to the Godhead Power Life and Soul was called Jesus and the Saviour p. 24. But also his being the Anointed as well as the Anointing p. 5. For Christ was before Abraham and David in Spirit called him Lord and he was that Spiritual Rock that all Israel drank of As for excusing Errors and Contempt of our Lord Jesus falsly charged on J. P. and being liable to be charged therewith p. 26. I am not conscious to my self of so doing by discovering his Intention and by his own Explications of the Words objected against him viz. As either that the Vail which was Christ's Flesh or that the Bodily Garment we can never call the entire Christ as intimated by his own Words chiefly and in the first place Christ as in one of his Questions 'T is strange that thou should shew so much Envy against that Innocent Man as to charge him with Contempt of our Lord Jesus who did more sincerely believe and confess him both in Principle Doctrine Charity and Innocent Conversation than thou hast done whose sincere Confession is also evinced against thy Brother F. Bugg By the Term Vail we neither undervalue Jesus nor set his Light above himself as is implied against us p. 25. For though every degree of Divine Light in us is of and from Christ Jesus yet 't is greater and more as in him in whom the fulness is as is more fully cleared in our said Treatise of our Christian Doctrine Concerning the Flesh of Christ being a Vail Heb. 10. thou grants was in respect to Man and so the Figure may be proper as intended by the Apostle If so then that Vail was not the entire Christ though the Name was given both to his Soul and Body in Scripture jointly and severally if by the Term Flesh be commonly understood the Person of our Lord Jesus where then dost thou prove that the Quakers contemn the Flesh of Christ considered either Spiritually or Litterally And though the Person of Christ I find but once mentioned in Scripture 2 Cor. 2. 10. from 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 in facie Christi vel Conspectu Christi in the Face or Sight of Christ. Yet understanding thy meaning I am not minded to quarrel with thee about Words and Terms To thy excusing F. Bugg's false Charge of Denying Jesus of Nazareth against us p. 25 I do not perceive thou canst make any good work of it upon his Instances where he makes our confessing Christ in us and witnessing him nearer us than at Jerusalem as J. Nayl●r did c. to be a denying of Jesus of Nazareth or confessing that Divine Principle i. e. the Word the Life or Spirit of Christ to be the Foundation Principle of Living Faith and Knowledge of Christ in his Spiritual Appearance in us I cannot see how this can be a Denying of Jesus of Nazareth any more than the Apostles preaching
