and quickened by a supernatural or Divine Principle of Light for Conscience defiled perverted corrupted seared for such there is in some will not manifest nor reprove sin for sin is manifest by the contrary as whatsoever makes manifest is Light 3. Those Gentiles Rom. 2.15 whose Conscience also bare witness it was to the work or effects of the Law written in their hearts that it did bear witness see vers 15 16. and that Law was Spiritual for they had it not in the Letter 4. This Baptist has confessed That there is a Principle or Spirit that God hath placed in man sometimes called the Candle of the Lord Prov. 20.27 sometimes called the Spirit of the Understanding Job 20. which contradicts his denying that the Spirit is in every man For 1. there is a Divine Light or Spirit which lighteth kindleth and quickeneth the Spirit of man which makes it capable of being the Candle of the Lord searching c. 2. There is a Spirit in man but the Inspiration of the Almighty giveth understandeth and upon whom doth not his Light arise But now he asks Upon what bottom doth Conscience stand or by what rule doth Conscience act And then answers Bapt. The Conscience doth act variously in the Heathen and such as have not read Scriptures nor had the true God and Christ preached to them Rep. But Conscience did not act contrary to the Law of God in them spoken of Rom. 2.15 neither doth it act variously when quickened so as to reprove evil as before how then does it act variously in the Heathen Bapt. Answ. p. 17 18. Many there be that worship Planets many there be amongst the Heathens and others that make great Conscience of adoring that which they do attribute the title of a God to If a man in Gods Worship never so much err if he be serious in it Conscience is quiet but if there be a faultering Conscience reflects Rep. This is in those things wherein they are deceived and captivated in their understandings and their minds corrupted from the true Light in them that men are become a Law to themselves in those things wherein they are deceived and misled which are as so many Vailes and Mists and Clouds cast over their understandings and so their Consciences are defiled though Conscience simply considered whilst mans mind is not brought under those Clouds Delusions and Sorceries it is simply that computure of knowledge and understanding that God has placed in the mind and spirit of man which is capable of the exercise and guidance of the Divine Light or Spirit and as it reproves sin as confessed before and bears witness to the Law of God within which is Light it doth not act variously as to prompt man in any thing that is sinful either in things relating to Man or Worship It do's not act nor lead in any idolatrous way or worship for that 's sinful which they that are led into it 's commonly by mens traditions that corrupt the simple that originally flow from the power of darkness and not by the Light within as many are by corrupt doctrines and traditions perverted drawn from the Light within and kept from looking to it and so in a dark ignorant state And this is the tendency of your Doctrine who are warring against the Light within as thou W. Burnet hast done one while telling us There is not any Light in those that are in the dark another while There is a convincing Light in every man which is one while Conscience that so convinceth and reproves another while it is The Light of Nature another while The Law written in the heart and then its Creation Light Another while it is The Candle of the Lord the Spirit of the Understanding Another while 't is the Substance or Body of the Ten Commandments pag. 16 17. Alas poor ignorant and scornful contender how pittifully art thou put to it and how art thou puzled and confounded surely the Law of God in the Heart and the body of the Ten Commandments in the Heathen does neither lead nor prompt any of them in their idolatrous wayes so that in those wayes they are perverted and turned from the Law of God within which Law is unalterable Bapt. The Law written in the Heart in Creation is the principal ground of Conscience-Conviction Rom. 2.14 15. God in the Creation did so principle the heart of man with Righteousness and Holiness and Justice with the knowledge of himself having the Counsel or Law of God in the Heart that though he lost himself by sin he did not wholly lose his Creation-Light there was still a knowledge left in man of God but not abilities to do good Answ. And surely this Counsel and Law of God in the Heart and this knowledge of God left in man is more then an erring Conscience or a deluded mind for though mans mind may err so cannot the Law and Knowledge of God left in him Thus you may see how this our opposer overthrows and confutes himself and his own cause and not us nor our Principle but rather confesses to it after he has rendered us and it as odious as he can Besides as the Law of God is the ground of Conscience-Conviction Conscience in that capacity will not allow a man in any evil and did not God leave abilities in man to do good how then did he by his Law in man require good to be done And how could he then condemn man for not obeying him if he hath not given him power to obey Does he require impossibilities and then condemn man for not answering his requirings No sure if he did it would render him a very hard Master and what less hath our Opposer done But what sayes he further to the matter what capacity is fallen man in as to light and knowledge within Bapt. Every man by Nature having the Law placed in his heart viz. the Substance of the Ten Commandments and so much light and understanding left in him as to know good and evil in some measure though they never had the Letter of the Law yet having the Substance of it God doth expect an acting accordingly Answ. If God doth expect an acting according to his Law which is in man viz. The substance of the Ten Commandments then he expects man should truly love him and for that end he gives ability or else he would not require it man is not condemned for that he has not afforded him or is not capable of for he gives to all men liberally Bapt. And then whereas W. B. speaks of the Body of this Law or Light in the Heathen that they have an understanding there is a God and that worship is due to him though this God they know not nor how or in what form to worship him for that is revealed by the Scripture he saith p. 17. Answ. Yet notwithstanding in contradiction to himself he hath confessed The Law of God and substance of the ten Commandements to
in every man that doth convince of sin the Commandment being accompanied with the Spirit P. 9. There is a time when every man while unregenerated the best of Saints were in darkness to what then shall such turn within for Light that have there nothing but darkness without any light in them They have no light in them they have none in them c. But in positive Contradiction P. 8. I shall shew what that Light is in every man that doth convince of sin P. 16. That Light is in every man that doth convince and reprove him for sin or that a wicked man upon sins committing receives checks from the Law written in the heart in creation is the principal ground of Conscience-conviction Man being made every way capable of doing the will of his Maker having the Counsel or Law of God in his heart he did not wholly lose his creation-light for there was still a knowledge left in man of God P. 16 17 18 19. That Light in every man is the Light of Nature is Conscience is an uncertain Guide How sad will it be for that soul that gives up himself to follow it But in plain contradiction P. 10 16 17. Christ as he was the Word with God so he was the Light of the World and lighteth every man that cometh into the world The Spirit that God hath placed in man is called the Candle of the Lord the Spirit of Understanding Every man by Nature having the Law placed in his heart to wit the Ten Commandments in the substance or body of them The very Heathen that never had the Gospel preached unto them do witness to this Truth P. 31. Oh how do these Hell-hatched Errors that have been fomented by Satan and twisted into the hearts of these poor and ever-to-be pittied creatures Contradiction P. 28. I do much wonder where that Word or Doctrine was coyned that they so often teach and exhort that is to turn to the Light within Observation That Doctrine then may be founded in Heaven for ought he knows P. 19 20 21. The Scripture's mans rule to walk by the Rule of the Gospel and compass to rule and stear by not by the Light within Contradiction The Spirit doth principle a Saint for his duty the Spirit doth principle and fit a man for his worke both in praying hearing and obedience And P. 21. the reception of the Spirit is the only means to put a man into a capacity for and give him right to obedience nothing gives a soul right to Gospel Ordinances but the gift of Christ to us and his being revealed in us by his Spirit P. 21. The Scriptures ought to be a rule and weapon to be made use of at all times in defence against Satan our dear Lord was filled with the Spirit yet he had an eye in all his obedience to the Scriptures Contradictions P. 22. the Letter it self as it is written with Ink on Paper is dead but the matter therein is Spiritual and Powerful when carried home by the Spirit to the heart P. 24. All the Prophets actions recorded are not all for our example P. 34. Christ as he was the Word which was God was not a Saviour but as he was to be the Offspring of man P. 35. as he was the Word as he was God he could not save man for God was the offended and it was impossible for the offended to acquit the guilty Contradictions P. 34. The Scripture giveth this Character of Christ that he should be called Immanuel Mat. 1.23 that is to say God with us and in Isa. 9.6 he is called the Mighty God Joh. 1.1 he is called the Word and in this sence is said to come down from Heaven for as he from the dayes of eternity was with the Father he most properly derived that title of being the Son of God Heb. 7.3 1 Joh. 3.8 P. 35. God hath designed that Redemption should be purchased by the Son of God Observe In that 1 Joh. 3.8 the Son of God was manifested that he might destroy the works of the Devil And is not this to Salvation and Christ saith the Son can do nothing of himself but what he seeth the Father do and the Father that dwelleth in him he doth the works John 5.19 14.10 and that God is Saviour and none besides him see Isa. 43.11 45.4 Hos. 13.4 So what less is it than Blasphemy to say God could not save P. 35. God by his own Blood purchased to himself a Church Acts 20.28 But in contradiction to the Apostle herein VV. B. saith God hath neither blood nor suffered P. 35. Where it is said No man hath been in Heaven but the Son of man that came down from Heaven But in Contradiction to Christ W. Burnet saith Christ's ascribing that to the Godhead that properly refers to the Manhood is a stumbling-stone W. B. in his 39 th pag. saith This is a gross mistake to wit that the blood that cleanseth from sin is the life of Christ. Contradiction P. 40. Christ is the purchaser and the price his life P. 42. The bloodshed upon the Cross the Material Blood meritorious to Salvation sprinkles the Consciences sanctifieth us p. 38 39. Justifies p. 42. Redeems c. But in Contradiction P. 40. that Blood shed is not in being But he compares it to a price lost c. Observe here a twofold stress is laid upon that Blood 1. Merit to Salvation 2. Work to Sanctification And so he hath set it up above God for God could not save he saith and yet is not in being gross absurdity Whereas Sanctification being a real work inward that is certain in being which effects it P. 24. W. B. tells of looking to Jerusalem to Jesus Christ as he was there crucified or to that Blood that was there shed for Justification Contradiction p. 27 33. That Christ that restoreth mans loss is both to be sought and found in Heaven viz. above the Stars and Firmament But in Contradiction to both p. 21. The reception of the Spirit the only means The Gift of Christ to us and his being revealed in us by his Spirit Observ. Then Christ and his Life is nearer than either Jerusalem or above the Clouds though he ascended far above all Heavens W. B. his false Aspersions HEre follows some of W. Burnets Aspersions Falshoods and Slanders cast upon the Quakers which are rejected and returned to that envious spirit from whence they came As first in his Epistle which hath relation to his dark confused bundle which is void of both spirit life and light After he pretends great respect to many of us for our honest lives whose meanings he judges good yet he falsly saith they are ensnared by their Teachers whose hearts he saith Satan hath greatly deceived which is also false and incongruent And False it is that our Teachers study twenty shuffles rather than discover their Principles when closely beset False it is and a slander That there is none more
Strangers from the Covenant of Promise and walking according to the course of this World in that sence they were said to be without Christ and without God in the World their understandings being darkned and their minds alienated but it does not follow that they had none of Christs Light in them or that the Spirit did not reprove them they being in the World for the Spirit reproves the World of sin surely it would be a blind inference to say That neither God nor his Spirit were in the World because they were without God in the World and sometimes afar off whereas his Presence fills Heaven and Earth and from his Presence Spirit Hell cannot hide nor the deeps cover though God beholds all the wicked a far off and they are without him as to any living sense union or injoyment their minds being estranged from his Light in them which in that state appears or shines in darkness though it comprehends not the Light and these are those that rebel against the Light that know not its wayes because they abide not in its paths Job 24.13 and that say to the Almighty Depart from us we desire not the knowledge of thy wayes Job 21.14 wherefore the Almighty is nigh unto them convicting and striving with them by his Spirit though it shall not alwayes strive with man so that they may be said to be both without God and without Light as to the true knowledge and possession and yet have both nigh to them even reaching their Consciences Bapt. Those were in Eph. 2. without God and Christ in the world what then can such turn to within for Life and Salvation Answ. To the Light of Christ wherewith every man 's inlightned and the reproofes of the Spirit of Truth which reproves the world of sin that they may know the true God and his Son which is Life Eternal Bapt. The cause of acceptance is what God hath done for man and not mans unspotted Life that doth perform his obedience but Christ becoming obedient to the Father for man Answ. The unspotted Life is an effect of God's work in reconciling man in Christ and this is acceptable to God which the spotted corrupt life is not Neither will your applying Christ's obedience render you in your spotted lives and sins acceptable or justified for he came in the likeness of sinful flesh that he might condemn sin in the flesh that the Righteousness of the Law might be fulfilled in them that walk not after the flesh but after the spirit Mark within is the fulfilling and effect of Christ's obedience Rom. 8. Again for W.B. to argue that because the Saints were in darkness in the time of their unregenerate state that therefore no man can be said to have either God Christ or the Spirit in him in that state This argument is fallacious for he might as well argue that the light cannot shine in darkness whereas a man may have the Light in him when he i◠not in it or walks not in the Spirit and if he should say that God or his presence is not in the world because the world knows him not but is in darkness and in that sence without God this were absurd and fallacious of the nature of his argument Bapt. To what then shall such turn within for Light that have there nothing but darkness Answ. This contradicts his former confessing that Light is in every man that doth convince of sin which is something besides darkness But there are those that put darkness for light and he hath herein done no less to his own confutation and surely that light in every man that convinceth of sin is worth the turning to to lead the mind out of sin Bapt. The fourth proof Esay 8.20 From this may be gathered that those that are not principled with the knowledg of the Law of God and testimony of Christ but contrary thereto do exhort are in the dark and blind without any light in them they have no light in them if that be so there be a people that have no light such have neither Father Son nor Spirit in them P. 9. Answ. That of Isa. 8.20 No light should be no morning as in the Hebrew 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Shachar i. e. Aurora but there is a light shining in darkness Before the day dawn and day-star arise or the morning appear in them But how has this man flatly contradicted himself whilst in other places he ha's confessed to a convincing light in every man that doth reprove him for sin and by which a wicked man upon sins commiting receiveth checks from see Pag. 8 16. tells us of the Light of Nature Creation-Light Spirit that God hath plac'd in man every man by nature having the Law plac'd in his heart viz. the Ten Commandments that is to say in the substance of them Thus far he hath in plain words confessed to a Light in every man though other whiles he affirms they have no Light no not any Light in them Who know not but act contrary to the Law of God And thus the Reader may see how he has given a deadly blow to his own evil cause against the Light for might not I as well argue against him that if some have not any Light in them then no convincing Light and how then is the Law and substance of the Ten Commandements in every man But then on the other hand if the substance of that Law or those Commandments be in every man then this is not natural but Spiritual the Law is Spiritual as writen in the heart and the substance of this Law enjoyns to love the Lord God with all the heart and soul and thy neighbour as thy self which Christ said to the Lawyer This do and thou shalt live after he had asked him what he should do to inherit eternal life Luke 10.25 26 27 28. Now that Light which leads to eternal Life must needs be the Light of Christ saving and this is in every man which teacheth so to love God as is confessed that life eternal may be inherited which to say is the light of nature an uncertain guide as the titles of his pages and to scorn it as the Quakers Christ this shews the great ignorance and folly of this our opposer and his gross and apparant contradictions and it is not his scornfully saying over and over thus you may see the Quakers Christ that can confute us or destroy our Christ who is Gods Christ. Bap. It would be a vain and fond saying to say when the natural Sun is hid under a Cloud or the darkness of the night therefore there is no Sun there but these have none neither shining nor hid in them To what should such turn to within then for Life and Salvation Answ. Yes there is some Light hid in men who are dark By the same reason as before the Light of Christ may be where it is clouded and vailed with darkness and it doth for a time shine
as his words import Then it follows from his other words that the life of Christ is not in being and this would render him a dead Christ whereas the life that he laid down he had power to take up again and he said I lay it down of my self and no man taketh it from me and he gave himself a ransome for all And now whereas S. Eccles in pag. 41. is accused of little less than blasphemy about a Letter chiefly of a passage concerning the blood in these words viz. The Blood that was forced out of him by the Souldiers after he was dead who before that bowed his head to the Father and gave up the Ghost I did say that was no more than the blood of another Saint c. Thus far S. E. Now to these words viz. No more than the blood of another Saint his intent was as to Papists and you whose minds are carnal who oppose the Light within and also simply as to the essence of the Blood which you dare not say is still in being but not as to the spiritual virtue and testimony which is still in being This S. E. owned to be his intention And in his Letter in the preceding words did highly speak in esteem of the Blood of Christ and New Covenant as more excellent and living and holy and precious than is able to be uttered c. which might have satisfied any spiritual or unbyassed mind And what difference is there between VV. B. his saying that the blood that was shed is not in being or comparing it with a price that is lost pag. 40. and S. E. his saying then It was no more than the blood of another Saint the one being not of continuance no more than the other By this may not VV. B. as well be thought guilty of little less than blasphemy as S. E. though I do not so judge either therein And seeing that the Children had flâ—sh and blood and Christ took part of the same if the same how was it more or another simply as to the matter of blood And if the Jews had drunk the blood that was shed on the Cross do you Baptists think it would have cleansed them from sin And yet I do not make S. E. his expressions therein especially as construed by our Adversaries to be an Article of our Faith for I own that in one sence the blood shed was more than that of another Saint though not in the matter of it as to the visible more in that it had a peculiar signification and Christ the one offering was the man peculiarly ordained or appointed of God both to bear the sins of many to end the many offerings under the Law and in all his example and sufferings that were permitted to be laid on him he both answered fulfilled and ended the outward part and administration of the Law and Shadows and performed the Father's Will therein and was particularly eyed and prophesied of accordingly by the Holy Prophets and through all his sufferings in the flesh he gave an universal testimony and consecrated a new and living way even through the Vail that is to say his flesh that the way into the most Holy might be manifest Bapt. Neither did I ever read that it was the blood or life in Christ or the life of Christ in his People that we are justified by c. page 42. Answ. The Spirit of Christ which is Life doth both quicken sanctifie and justifie the true Believers John 6.63 1 Cor. 6. and that Blood and Water that 's said to cleanse is not of another kind but agrees in one with the Spirit all which is known within and the effects thereof Bapt. All things under the Law in the Type was purged with blood and this blood was material blood and not mystical And that blood that Christ shed in order to the effecting the Salvation of man must needs be visible and material blood Answ. Do but mark here what a sad consequence he has drawn as if one should reason that because the Type was material visible and not mystical therefore the antitype or substance must needs be material and not mystical by this all Mysteries or Divine things are excluded from being either Spiritual Antitype or Substance whereas it was the Heavenly things themselves that are in Christ in which consists the substance and end of Types and Shadows But to say that material blood was a Type of that which was material this is to give the substance no preheminence above the Type especially if neither of them be mystical nor in being or like as if one should say one Type was a Type of another as to say because Circumcision which was a Type was material or outward therefore the Circumcision of the Spirit which is the Antitype of it must needs be outward too and not mystical which would be sad Doctrine and thus he might as well reason touching all other Types and Shadows under the Law and the Heavenly or good things to come prefigured or shadowed by them That because the Priests under the Law at the outward Tabernacle and Temple were Ministers of outward or temporal things carnal Ordinances Shadows c. therefore those good things to come those Heavenly things which Christ was said to be the High Priest of must needs be temporal and not mystical which were absurd to assert whereas both the Heavenly and more perfect Tabernacle and Altar with the Heavenly things are all a Mystery and Spiritual the offering and living Sacrifices are Spiritual the Passeover Spiritual the Seed Spiritual the Bread the Fruit of the Vine the Oyl the Flesh and the Blood which give life to the Soul yea the Water and Blood which washeth and sprinkleth the Conscience are all Spiritual and Mysterious as the New Covenant it self is which they belong to and these things known in and this is the new and living Way which Christ set open through the Vail of his Flesh Heb. 10. Let them receive this who can And this may answer that Question Where ever did God attribute the name of Blood to a Spirit Whereupon I may ask as well if the name of Water was never attributed to the Spirit see John 7.38 39. And whether the Blood of God and of the New Covenant be not Spiritual If not How is it called his own Blood Acts 20.28 And is not the New Covenant Spiritual viz. the Law written in the Heart and the Spirit in the inward parts If it be surely the Blood of it must be spiritual too Again compare the Articles of W. B. his Faith about the Blood shed without the Gates c. pag. 42. By which he saith we are justified Another while It is the means or cause of Justification and yet 't is neither Spirit nor the Life by his own confession nor is it in being but lost pag. 40. whereas we are justified by the Spirit and saved by his Life 1 Cor. 6.11 Rom. 5.10 chap. 4.25 And yet In

The PREFACE I Should very willingly have forborn to appear thus publick in such Controversies at this time if the Truth might have been otherwise cleared for I have a life in peace more than in contests and a tender respect to the more Conscientious of all sorts professing Religion that have a tenderness and sincerity in them but I am necessitated thus to appear because of the hardness and perversness of some Baptists and their publick reproaching and scandalizing the Truth professed by us called Quakers both in words preaching and print and their clamouring up and down the Countries against us both in Buckinghamshire Surrey Sussex and other parts in which thing Matthew Caffin their great Agent and Contender and W. Burnet of Chertsey are chiefly concerned against us whereby they have to their power supplied the Persecuters place now in this little time of liberty like persons implacable envying our liberty and prosperity William Burnets personal reflections in his Book against some amongst us which he has gathered from Reports as the former persecuting Priests were wont to do I could more easily have passed by than his wronging perverting opposing the truth of our Principles though several of his Reflections are false and slanderous for that any particular fall or failings of persons cannot rationally be alleaged to destroy principles fallen from But considering the divisions that are amongst Baptists even the Leaders as to their Principles it might have been some stop to W. B. his outrage in this matter and they should have agreed among themselves before they had thus appeared against us some being for a particular Election of persons and both denying saving Grace to be free to all and Christ's dying for all Others being for Christ's death for all and General Redemption and some pleading for Free-will Several of their Teachers and some Hearers are for and observe the Seventh-day-Sabbath imposed on the Jews and have preached writ and printed for the imposing of it on Christians many others of them are against it And why doth not our Opposer plead for his Water-Baptism and Seventh-day-Sabbath here against us but therein he would not be popular enough Many affirm Christ to have done and compleated all for Man on the Cross without But some that the Offering was not compleated nor the Type under the Law fully Answered till he was entered into Heaven or the Holy-Place Many of them are for paying Priests Tythes rather than suffer others have writ against it as Antichristian and yet few stand out of it Some of their Teachers have contended and printed for taking the Oath several gratifying the Persecuters and swearing themselves out of Prison by which others have suffered the more which hath been a grief to some who were more Consciencious many of them running into holes and corners not daring to meet publickly if but a little storm break forth And has not W. B. heard how Thomas Tillam their great Seventh-day-Sabbath man and his fellow-prisoner deceitfully made escape out of Ipswich Prison which was no small blot upon them And have not some of them gotten into the Priests places Pulpits preached for Hire Tythes c. as Tombs and others when permitted As also two of their eminent Leaders viz. Robert Everard and Jo. Attaway of Brantree in Essex turned Papists and become great Contenders for the Church of Rome These things I mention as having been most obvious and publick besides gross corruptions both as to principle and practice might be further manifest against some of their Chieftains which at present I shall forbear to mention here And now though this W. B hath shewed his envious and persecuting spirit which hath put forth its sting against us We do in the Elect Seed tread upon its head and are not pierced thereby And that spirit shall be crushed and the Elect shall reign over it in the power of Christ and I have as much satisfaction in appearing against the persecuting spirit in W. B. as against it in other open Opposers and Persecutors For what could we reasonably expect from him and such as he is if they had power but they would be as great Persecutors as any that we have suffered under whilst they shew such enmity and implacableness at this time a day against us And whereas W.B. in his Epistle sayes he shall leave it the Cause is God's and whatever reproach he undergoes therein he hopes he shal quietly bear c. By which he seems as if he would be quiet now when he has done his worst against us But 't is probable he would have had more quietness and peace if he had never appeared thus against the Upright as he hath done in his confused Book Now Reader take a view of some of his Doctrines and apparent Contradictions hereafter whereby he hath given a deadly blow to his own Cause which is proved none of God's VV. Burnet his Contradictions HEre are several of William Burnets Contradictions collected in his own words out of his Book and compared as followeth W.B. in pag. 3. of his Book saith Paul preached a Christ made of a woman and not a Christ in them that God will redeem the world by But in contradiction he saith I do not deny that the fruits and effects of our Justification doth shew it self both within and without Pag. 4. Paul's knowledge of sin came by the Law and not by the Light within Contradiction The Grace of God received and the Love of Christ revealed in the work of Regeneration doth principle the heart with an enmity to sin and the Grace received in the work of Reconciliation begets a hatred to it so that it is from the principle within Pag. 5. I would not give any one ground of jealousie that I should judge that our obedience is any cause either of our Justification or Sanctification And p. 10. The spirit in man and obedience to that spirit is not the cause of mans union with God But in contradiction pag. 35. We are sealed by an obedience to the Gospel And Pag. 8. The Spirit is alive because of Righteousness Paul's knowledge of sin came by the Law not the Light within Contradiction P. 8. That Light is
