again for our Justification in the same Body in which he was Crucify'd which very Temple of his Body so call'd because the Fulness of the God-head dwealt in it Bodily He foretold he would Raise again That this Christ is our Peace with God having Abolished in His Flesh the Enmity between God and Men Eph. 2. v. 14.15 that it pleas'd the Father Christ having made Peace thro' the Blood of his Cross by him to reconcile all things to himself In the Body of His Flesh thro Death Coloss 1.19 20.22 That he ascended up into Heaven in the same Body and sat down at the Right hand of God to the end That we might enter thither into the Holiest by the Blood of Jesus by a new and living way which he hath Consecrated for Us thro' the Veil that is to say His Flesh Heb. 10.19 20. That the same Jesus who did Ascend in the sight of many of his Disciples shall so come in like manner in the same Body visibly in the Clouds of Heaven to Judge both the Quick and the Dead Whereas I say these Articles of our Faith are thus plainly deliver'd in these and many other Texts of Scripture and generally Agreed to by I think most Dissenters These unhappy People the Quakers either utterly deny 'em or make 'em void by applying them to their Light within which they call Christ Rejecting the Merits of our blessed Lord's Blood Outwardly Shed and the Sacrifice of his Body upon the Cross at Jerusalem Let us prove this Charge in its several Particulars And in order to this let me desire you to take particular Notice of this Great and Fundamental Errour upon which they raise all the rest viz. Their Distinguishing between two Christs the Christ who Suffer'd at Jerusalem whom they call the Outward Christ and their Light which they call the Christ within which is the only Christ they value or depend upon 1. Then as to the Incarnation This they reckon no otherwise beneficial than as Christ is Incarnate in every Quaker That the true Christ is he that is Born within them who grows up by degrees from an Holy Seed to a Child and then to be the mighty God applying commonly in their Writings upon this occasion that Celebrated Prophesy of Isaiah Chap. 9. v. 6 unto each particular Quaker Man or Woman Unto Us a Child is born unto Us a Son is given and the Government shall be upon his Shoulders and his Name shall be call'd Wonderful Counsellor the Mighty God the Everlasting Father the Prince of Peace Thus one of them Be thou the Virgin and the Power of the Most High shall over-shadow thee and that holy Thing which shall be Born of thee shall be called the Son of God William Baily's Works p. 292 293. Faith in Christs Outward Manifestation has been a Deadly Poison this latter Age has been infected with all Quakerism a New Nick Name p. 6. 2. The same they affirm concerning the Sufferings of Christ these are to be perform'd within them too or else are to no Purpose and the Blood of the Seed shed within them as they speak is sufficient of it self to justify them in the Sight of God and reject with Scorn and Disdain that which was shed by our Saviour Outwardly Thus Mr. Penn we deny justification by the Righteousness of Christ fullfill'd in his own Person for us wholly without us and boldly affirm it in the Name of the Lord to be the Doctrine of Devils O Horrid Blasphemy and an Arm of that Sea of Corruption which does now deluge the whole World Mr. Penn's Serious Apology p. 148. Again That the Outward Person which suffer'd was properly the Son of God we utterly deny Ib. 146. If there be any other Christ but he that was Crucify'd within He is a false Christ and the Devil never made it i e. this Doctrine as was Objected to him but he and his Messengers are against it The Devils and Reprobates may talk of him without G. Fox Gr. Myst p. 206. Nay they affirm farther that a Quaker may arrive to such perfection that He may forget wholly the Christ which dy'd at Jerusalem Thus Another of them When you come to know this viz. the Operation of Christ within you will cease Remembring his Death at Jerusalem and will come to see How He has been Crucified in you p. 19. Doctr. of Perfection Vindic. by J. Whitehouse 3. As for the Resurrection This Mr Penn compares upon account of the Absurdity of it to Transubstantiation Reason ag Railing p. 134. and those Remarkable Passages concerning the Resurrection of the Body 1 Corinth 15. they apply to the Resurrection of the Soul by Faith alone from a Natural to a Spiritual Estate Which is the very Same Error with that of Hymnaeus and Philetus which St Paul speaks of 2 Tim. 2. c. 17 18. Who concerning the faith have erred saying the Resurrection is pass'd already and overthrow the Faith of some St Paul Himself was in the same state of Resurrection as I hope they will allow which they speak of and yet He Condemn'd those who taught this as the only Resurrection as overthrowers of the Faith 4. As to Christs ascension and sitting at the Right Hand of God This they Affirm to be done within 'em only as necessary to Salvation the teaching the other they call setting ones self Against Christ Thus when one J. Wrightson had dedicated a Book He wrote Against them To all them that Call upon the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ who sits at the Right Hand of God the Father in the Heavens out of Every Man on Earth in a Preface to a Book call'd the Son of Perdition Reveal'd by the light of the Son of God in his Servants Geo. Whitehead and Ed. Burroughs they desire it may be noted How J. W. had absolutely set Himself against Christ and the Truth who herein hath Gone about to limit and divide the Holy one from his People and members Which they Explain farther afterwards In that J. W. hath accounted Christ as He is at the Right Hand of God the Father not to be in Any man but out of Every Man upon Earth He hath gone about to Separate the Saints from the Right Hand of God and so hath discover'd Himself Both Ignorant of Christ and of the Fathers Right Hand and of the Kingdom of Heaven in the Saints for they that are come to Christ and to Know Him in them they Are come to the Fathers Right Hand and being Christs Sheep none shall pull them out of His Fathers Hands And in a Primmer which they teach their Poor Innocent Children by William Smith distinguishing between the True and the False Preachers They that are false says this Author Preach Christ without and bid people Believe in Him as He is in Heaven above But this one alone would have been sufficient to Raise in You Horrour and Amazement Your Imagin'd God beyond the Stars and Your Carnal Christ is utterly
