and Arminianism through the great Mercy of God to this Nation hath been kept alive and warm in all Parliaments since 1628 even in the Reign of King James the Second and there is no doubt of losing it in this Reign wherein His Majesty hath given good Proof that he is neither Papist nor Arminian nor inclining thereto Now whether the Quotations in this Treatise do not shew that some mentioned therein go against the Orthodox Church judge ye and the Lord give you VVisdom to withstand Thus hoping for a favourable Construction of my Endeavour pro modulo si non pro voto to vindicate the Truths of the Gospel I beg the Lord's Blessing on you and am Your Humble Servant Hananiel Philalethes 28 July 1698. To my Dear Kratiste the Author of the Rebuke and Vilifier of Dr. Crisp SIR I Cannot but be troubled that in your declining days you should inflame the Reckoning as you have done in your Rebuke to the Grief of your best Friends among whom my self am particularly concerned that you should so violently let fly against those Truths of the Gospel which have solaced the Souls of Thousands as held forth by the Doctor whom you have very ungravely treated as an Heterodox wild Monster to the Eternal Infamy of his Name and Family what in you lay I hope e're this God hath caused you often to mourn over your intemperate Management of your Rebuke and lest you should come short therein that I may provoke you seriously thereto I think it necessary to lay before you the Character I had lately from a Worthy Minister of the Gospel and Friend of yours concerning him you have so unmercifully traduced which was given by one that sometimes in the height of his Zeal was as bitter as any against Dr. Crisp except your self that is by Mr. Richard Baxter upon his Death-Bed but two days before he dyed as this Friend of yours assured me once and again that Mr. Baxter told him and he related it to you very lately as thus that Mr. Baxter said to your Friend There has been a great deal of Talk about Dr. Crisp but I look upon him to have been a Godly Holy Man and that he was Sound and Orthodox and that he brought in more Souls to Christ than any of us but this was his Fault said Mr. Baxter that being a Popular Man and mightily flock'd after he would preach Extempore Sermons which exposed him to deliver Things undigested which needed to be corrected but for the main he was Sound and Orthodox For which Testimony I thanking the Relater desired him to give me it in Writing in ipsissimis Verbis but being prudent he desired Excuse and repeated the same again to me and afterwards to others I told him as to the Extempore Sermons that was a great Mistake to my knowledge and I was glad God had convinced so great an Enemy to the Doctor Now if this be true as there is not the least grain of ground to doubt it coming from a Faithful Holy Minister then surely Dr. Crisp was not such an one as my Kratiste hath blackned him to be God having provided for the embalming his Memory with sweet Odours even from his gain-sayers when launching into Eternity to give an account of their hard Speeches unrepented of I hope it may please the Lord by his Holy Spirit striking in with this and other Occurrences to lower the top-sails of my good Friend before he brings you to the brink of Eternity when your Natural Parts will signifie nothing and that you may have more Time than Mr. B had to testifie to the World your high prizing the Free Grace of God in Christ as held out by many besides Dr. Crisp as in the ensuing Treatise and that you may testifie to the World also that your Father in Law Mr. King mistook in his Prophesie saying as I am told That his Son in Law your self had good Parts but his Pride would undo him But I hope and pray the contrary viz. That God would undo him only of Natural self and do him up again by the renewing of the Spirit To his Grace I commend you and am Your real Friend a Happy tho' Vnworthy Branch of the Doctor Hananiel Philalethes 28 July 1698. To all that love our Lord Jesus in Sincerity Grace Mercy and Peace with Growth therein while they peruse a few Remarks on a Rebuke to a Report concerning some Differences between the Congregational Ministers and Presbyterian wherein the Rebuker to Vindicate Mr. Williams hath bespattered not only Dr. Crisp and others he calls Antinomians but some great Doctrines of the Gospel which are Establish'd by Law in the Homilies and which by Act of Parliament are to be Read in Parish Churches when there is no Sermon SECTION I. I Who account my self a Happy though Unworthy Branch of the said Doctor finding in the abovesaid Rebuke that the Author has flown into frothy and bitter Invectives against the Reporter Mr. Lob for a very Modest Account he had given of the Differences among some Ministers and that the Rebuker hath branded Dr. Crisp and his Sermons with Crispian Heresies c. though mostly consonant with the Scripture and the Judgment of Thousands of serious Christians but chiefly I finding the great Doctrine of the Free Grace of God in Christ as asserted by the great Reformers to be in the said Rebuke obscured whereby Socinianism and Arminianism gets ground and being incouraged by Augustine in Antisozzo his saying That all Men that can handle a Pen are obliged to say somewhat against the Enemies to the Free Effectual Grace of God I therefore think it my Duty for the Honour of our Lord Jesus to spend a few Hours in some necessary Remarks on the said Rebuke and though but in a mean manner yet humbly to offer this Mite of my Testimony to the Truth so far as the Lord shall guide me which I humbly implore his assistance in by detecting several Blemishes cast on the Truth in the said Rebuke which I premise with that saying of our Lord Jesus Wisdom is justified of her Children §. II. So I desire these Remarks may be which begin with noteing the Sarcasms or Taunts the Rebuker casts on Mr. Lob for his Report which first entrance shews with what an unbeseeming Spirit he manages his Design To which I may say Do Men gather Grapes of Thorns or Figs of Thistles By their Fruits you shall know them Can any expect our Lord Jesus should be honoured in such a Discourse which begins with treating a Reverend Minister with such opprobrious Language as in the two first Pages to cast these Eleven Reflections on him As Prevaricating Partial A Learned Divine In a Jeer. Insolent Scribler A Huff Little Fooleries Fire-balls So he calls his Papers Poyson Pedantick Great Wit In a Scoff To which I Remark That doleful is the Consideration that God should suffer an Eminent Person a Reverend Divine of the First Rate in the

Shewing from Scripture and most Orthodox Authors the Invalidity of his Rebuke in taxing the Doctor to be Apocryphal and his Doctrine Antinomian WITH Some Observations on the Bishop of Worcester's Letter concerning the great Point of the Change of Persons between Christ and Believers wherein he differs from the Doctor but yet mildly and genteely treats him though he comes short of the Truth as contained in the Doctrine of the Church of England With a Table to find the Heads insisted on Done by a Happy tho' Vnworthy Branch of the said Doctor It was needful for me to write to you and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the Faith which was once delivered to the Saints Jude 3.

Elizabeth hung up in most Churches for the good Laws she made against Popery What high Encomiums of Praise and great Retributions of Thanks then are due to you right Christian Senators for your warm Addressing His Majesty to suppress the Blasphemy and Debauchery which the Nation abounds with And upon His wise referring back so great a Work to your selves to effect it by an Act of Parliament for your thereupon forming the late good Act wherein it is to your great Honour Enacted That if any Person ........ shall by Writing Printing Teaching or advised Speaking deny any One of the Persons in the Holy Trinity to be God or shall assert or maintain there are more Gods than One or shall deny the Christian Religion to be True or the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testament to be of Divine Authority shall suffer so and so Although there be no Reward to the Prosecutor it is hoped you have thereby in a good measure put a stop to the carriere of the Prophane Tongues and Pens of a debauched Crew of this Age that Impiously deny the Trinity of Persons in the Godhead that mock at all Revealed Religion as contained in the Scriptures that call the Scriptures an Inken Divinity and the Blood of our Lord Jesus as the Blood of another good Man and make his dreadful Agony and Sufferings but Facile Representations of what Christ doth in us and that could Print That when God hath glutted himself c. as in the Book For your Zeal to God's Glory in which may you have an Eternal Reward above and many good days of God's Blessing here is my Supplication to the Throne of Grace But besides these Dragons against the Christian Religion which you have been quelling we have the Foxes running about that spoil the Vines those that under the fair Species of Man's Holiness would undermine God's Righteousness in our Justification For going about to establish their own Righteousness they have not submitted to the Righteousness of God Rom. 10.3 That is they are against being justified freely by his Grace through the Redemption that is in Jesus against having his Righteousness imputed to them to be unto and upon all that believe though the Scripture is clear herein But besides the pure Word of God which is the Sheet-Anchor of our Religion it is a great Mercy that in Disputes with Men of corrupt Minds that we have the Fundamentals of Christianity contained in the Doctrines established by Law in the Book of the Homilies wherewith to incounter such Foxes as would spoil our tender Grapes by denying our very Sins to be born by Christ and bringing in some degrees of our Obedience though imperfect to joyn as it were with Christ's Righteousness for our Justification and to make such our Obedience pass currant by bringing in God making a Law that in effect allows of Sin which are excepted against in the ensuing Treatise which I put forth to vindicate according to my poor Talent not so much Dr. Crisp but the Doctrine of God our Saviour delivered by the Doctor consonantly to the Sacred Scriptures and to the said Homilies as you may perceive upon perusal of these my Collections from Scripture and sound Authors Which I humbly recommend to your leisurely serious Considerations hoping you will think it necessary in this degenerate Age to contend for the Faith delivered to the Saints and that your selves so many of you as shall be chosen for the next Parliament which I suppose will not be a few that you will think it worthy your Pains and Labour to indeavour to suppress all Socinian and Arminian Tenets that to uphold Man's Free Will to do good strike at our being saved freely by God's Grace contrary to God's Word We are saved by Grace through Faith and that not of our selves it is the Gift of God Not of Works lest any boast Our Holy Fore-Fathers in the Nations shaking off the Popish Yoke spake plainly We in Christ paid the Debt We in him are fulfillers of the Law He on his Cross made a perfect cleansing of thy Sins But this will not go down with Arminianizers of this day that bring in our Gospel-Holiness to concur with Christ's Righteousness in our Justification This I address to your Pious Thoughts and I suppose not improperly to you as expected Members of the House of Commons hoping the next Parliament may begin where the last left off in taking Care of the True Christian Religion And that you may be the better fortified I quote a Vote of a former House of Commons March 2. 1628. Whosoever shall bring in Innovation of Religion or by Favour or Countenance seem to extend Popery or Arminianism or other Opinion disagreeing from the Truth and Orthodox Church shall be reputed a Capital Enemy to the Kingdom and Common-Wealth VVhich Spirit against Popery
