A96978	Testimony for the son of man and against the son of perdition wherein is set forth the faith and obedience of Gods elect, testified by the mouth of the Lord, angels & men. With a true discovery of a bundle of equivocations, confusions, and hyprocisies, in those who call themselves preachers of, and to the light within all men; who yet are so far in darkness themselves, that they acknowledge not the scriptures and ordinances of Jesus Christ, so as to be directed by the one, to the obedience of the other.

He that hath an ear let him hear and fear and do no more presumptuously For this their Doctrine supposeth that that which they call Christ is saved by their Preaching and Teaching from a fallen condition which when in their conceit they have raised they salute in their writings which they have Intituled A Salutation to the Seed of God which they suppose is in every man and this they say is Christ in a fallen slain or imprisoned condition till raised up by their endeavours so that Christ is not distinguished by them as a distinct person from all other men nor his death to be declared to be accomplished in his own person but in every man according to their delution every man hath Christ in him sometimes slain and sometimes raised his death is not once but often accomplished and he is slain for himself and raised for himself if raised at all Oh how contrary is this Doctrine to the Doctrine of the Scriptures which teach that Christ hath ONCE suffered for sins the just for the unjust being put to death in the flesh but quickend in the spirit 1 Pet. 3. 18. But now ONCE saith the Apostle in the end of the World hath he appeared to put away sin by the Sacrifice of himself he was once offered to bear the sins of many and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin to Salvation Heb. 9. 26 28. Neither let them think to excuse the matter by alledging that the Name Christ is sometimes given the Church which is men and women united to him by Faith according to the Gospel for when it is so given it is to be taken mystically believers being understood to be the Body of Christ and Christ to be the head of that Body this mystical sence destroyes not the proper sence for Christ as a distinct person from all other persons is described by the Apostle Paul Rom. 1. 3 4. to be made of the Seed of David according to the flesh and declared to be the Son of God with Power according to the Spirit of Holinesse by the Resurrection from the dead in which flesh he suffered upon the Crosse being put to death and the third day rose again by the Power of the Spirit of Holinesse he was delivered for our offences and was raised again for our justification Rom. 4. 25. Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the Tree that we being dead to sins should live to Righteousnesse by whose stripes ye were healed as the Apostle teacheth 1 Pet. 2. 24. Sect. 3 But if man considered as man yea as fallen sinful and wretched man as a Creature without Christ without God c. be not to be Preached unto and if Salvation by Faith in Christ be not tendred to the Creature distinct from the Creator then is there no tender of Salvation nor any thing to be saved for there is not one Scripture which speaketh of any thing else which Salvation is to be tendred unto but man for whom Christ dyed as it is written Heb. 2. 16. For verily he taketh not hold of Angels but of the Seed of Abraham he taketh hold according to the Greek that is he did not take into unity of person the Nature of Angels but he took into personal unity the Seed of Abraham that is the nature of man was taken into personality with his Divine nature that through death he might destroy him that had the Power of death that is the Devil and deliver them that through fear of death were all their life time subject to bondage Heb. 2. 14 15. It was the Creature man that was in bondage by sin and in fear of death that hid himself and was afraid Gen. 3. 10. and had been as water spilt upon the ground if God had not devised means that his banished be not exciled from him 2 Sam. 14. 14. It was that sinning Creature man that should have been banished for ever had not God devised means to redeem the man Adam and his posterity For God so loved the World that he gave his onely begotten Son Jesus Christ that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life John 3. 16. Gods love was indeed to the lost but no part of the eternal and uncreated substance was lost but man was lost the Creature had been cut off for ever for that first sin of Adam by whom sin entred into the world and death by sin and so death passed upon all men for that all have sinned Rom. 5. 12. But God so loved that Creature Man as to give his only begotten Son for his redemption for God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world but that the world through him might be saved John 3. 16 17. which life and salvation is to be held forth to the Creature which hath sinned to the race of mankind for they have all sinned and come short of the Glory of God and these that have sinned are upon their repentance and believing the Gospel Justified freely by the Grace of God through the redemption that is in Jesus Christ for God justifieth the ungodly Rom. 3. 23 24. Rom. 4. 5. We have seen and do testifie saith the Apostle John That the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the World Not to be a Saviour of his eternal substance but to be a Saviour to the world 1 John 4. 14. I am the Living Bread saith Christ which came down from Heaven if any man eat of this Bread he shall live for ever and the Bread which I will give is my flesh which I will give for the Life of the World wch world had for ever perished for the iniquities thereof had not Christ Jesus given himself freely to death that he might bring them to God which were without God and without Christ being strangers from the Covenant of Promise having no hope and without God in the world Ephes 2. 12. So that as the same Apostle teacheth they which were sometimes alienated and enemies in their Minds or Spirits by wicked works Yet now hath he reconciled in the Body of his flesh through death to present them holy and unblameable and unreproveable in the sight of God if they continue in the Faith grounded and setled and be not moved away from the hope of the Gospel preached unto all and whereof Paul was a Minister Col. 1. 22 23. For as he also saith There is one God and one Mediator between God and Man the Man Christ Jesus who gave himself a ransome for all to be testified in due time 1 Tim. 2. 5 6. The like is testified by the Angel of God as it is written by Luke in his Gospel And Lo the Angel of the Lord saith he came upon them and the Glory of
