A49183 An apology for the ministers who subscribed only unto the stating of the truths and errours in Mr. William's book shewing, that the Gospel which they preach, is the old everlasting Gospel of Christ, and vindicating them from the calumnies, wherewith they (especially the younger sort of them) have been unjustly aspersed by the letter from a minister in the city, to a minister in the countrey. Lorimer, William, d. 1721. 1694 (1694) Wing L3073; ESTC R22599 321,667 222

soul_n who_o lot_n it_o be_v to_o be_v lead_v into_o the_o ditch_n by_o such_o blind_a guide_n but_o good_a sir_n how_o do_v it_o appear_v that_o our_o answer_n be_v wrong_n and_o you_o only_o be_v right_a why_o may_v not_o both_o be_v right_a and_o why_o must_v not_o both_o be_v right_a and_o both_o concur_v to_o make_v up_o one_o entire_a answer_n and_o full_a advice_n to_o a_o wicked_a man_n who_o under_o conviction_n come_v and_o ask_v minister_n what_o he_o must_v do_v to_o be_v save_v if_o you_o have_v behave_v yourself_o in_o this_o matter_n like_o a_o fair_a adversary_n or_o a_o honest_a man_n you_o have_v give_v in_o our_o answer_n full_o without_o curtail_v it_o for_o you_o know_v in_o your_o conscience_n that_o in_o such_o a_o case_n our_o full_a answer_n and_o advice_n to_o a_o man_n be_v that_o he_o must_v do_v both_o he_o must_v both_o believe_v in_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o repent_v of_o mourn_v for_o and_o turn_v from_o his_o sin_n the_o conscience_n of_o truth_n extort_a this_o confession_n from_o you_o in_o your_o appendix_n page_n 41._o as_o we_o observe_v before_o that_o your_o hot_a opposer_n will_v free_o tell_v such_o a_o man_n that_o the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n cleanse_v from_o all_o sin_n why_o do_v not_o you_o then_o if_o you_o be_v a_o honest_a man_n give_v in_o our_o full_a answer_n and_o refute_v it_o if_o you_o think_v it_o be_v wrong_n if_o you_o say_v that_o paul_n do_v not_o give_v such_o a_o full_a answer_n and_o advice_n to_o the_o gaoler_n act_v 16.30_o 31._o but_o bid_v he_o believe_v only_o in_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o thereupon_o promise_v he_o salvation_n without_o advise_v he_o to_o repent_v and_o turn_v from_o his_o sin_n we_o answer_v it_o be_v true_a paul_n bid_v the_o gaoler_n believe_v in_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n but_o it_o be_v utter_o false_a that_o he_o bid_v he_o only_o believe_v there_o be_v no_o such_o exclusive_a particle_n in_o the_o text_n and_o though_o the_o sacred_a historian_n luke_n mention_v not_o express_o that_o paul_n bid_v the_o gaoler_n repent_v yet_o it_o do_v by_o no_o mean_n follow_v that_o because_o luke_n do_v not_o say_v express_o that_o paul_n bid_v the_o gaoler_n repent_v therefore_o he_o do_v not_o bid_v he_o for_o it_o be_v never_o luke_n intention_n to_o set_v down_o in_o his_o history_n every_o word_n or_o sentence_n which_o paul_n at_o any_o time_n speak_v to_o the_o people_n nay_o in_o the_o very_a next_o verse_n act_v 16.32_o luke_n say_v that_o paul_n and_o silas_n speak_v unto_o the_o gaoler_n the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o to_o all_o that_o be_v in_o his_o house_n but_o he_o do_v not_o tell_v we_o particular_o what_o that_o word_n be_v nor_o do_v our_o author_n know_v nor_o can_v he_o with_o a_o good_a conscience_n say_v that_o it_o be_v not_o a_o advice_n and_o exhortation_n to_o repent_v to_o mourn_v for_o his_o know_a sin_n and_o to_o leave_v and_o loathe_v they_o assure_v he_o that_o thereupon_o god_n will_v have_v mercy_n on_o he_o and_o pardon_v his_o sin_n and_o save_v his_o soul_n for_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n sake_n if_o our_o author_n say_v that_o as_o he_o can_v be_v sure_a of_o the_o negative_a that_o he_o do_v not_o so_o we_o can_v be_v sure_a of_o the_o affirmative_a that_o he_o do_v preach_v the_o necessity_n of_o repentance_n to_o the_o gaoler_n we_o answer_v that_o we_o can_v prove_v and_o do_v thus_o prove_v the_o affirmative_a 1._o because_o it_o be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o apostle_n commission_n to_o preach_v repentance_n unto_o all_o people_n as_o well_o as_o faith_n in_o christ_n for_o which_o see_v mark_v 16.15_o 16._o compare_v with_o luke_n 24.47_o 48._o but_o paul_n be_v a_o apostle_n therefore_o he_o act_v according_a to_o the_o apostolical_a commission_n 2._o because_o paul_n baptize_v or_o cause_v the_o gaoler_n to_o be_v baptize_v and_o it_o be_v necessary_a that_o repentance_n shall_v be_v preach_v to_o he_o and_o profess_v by_o he_o before_o such_o a_o one_o as_o he_o be_v admit_v to_o baptism_n 3._o because_o paul_n himself_o tell_v we_o as_o his_o word_n be_v record_v by_o the_o sacred_a historian_n luke_n that_o it_o be_v his_o common_a practice_n to_o preach_v repentance_n as_o well_o as_o faith_n unto_o all_o those_o who_o he_o convert_v or_o intend_v and_o endeavour_v to_o convert_v unto_o the_o christian_a religion_n thus_o do_v he_o at_o lystra_n act_v 14.15_o he_o exhort_v the_o people_n to_o turn_v from_o their_o vanity_n unto_o the_o live_a god_n which_o make_v heaven_n and_o earth_n etc._n etc._n thus_o also_o at_o athens_n act_v 17.30_o 31._o he_o command_v they_o all_o from_o the_o lord_n to_o repent_v and_o persuade_v they_o so_o to_o do_v by_o a_o most_o powerful_a motive_n and_o argument_n take_v from_o god_n be_v rector_n and_o judge_n of_o the_o world_n and_o from_o his_o have_v appoint_v a_o day_n in_o which_o he_o will_v judge_v the_o world_n in_o righteousness_n by_o jesus_n christ_n and_o will_v then_o justify_v or_o condemn_v reward_n or_o punish_v every_o man_n according_a to_o their_o work_n and_o this_o he_o assure_v they_o of_o by_o a_o argument_n take_v from_o christ_n resurrection_n from_o the_o dead_a again_o in_o act_n 20.21_o he_o tell_v we_o that_o repentance_n towards_o god_n and_o faith_n towards_o our_o lord_n jesus_n be_v the_o sum_n and_o substance_n of_o his_o sermon_n these_o be_v the_o two_o subject_n that_o he_o ●ordinarily_o preach_v upon_o both_o to_o jew_n and_o gentile_n and_o last_o in_o act_n 26.20_o 22_o 23._o we_o read_v that_o he_o declare_v open_o to_o ring_n agrippa_n that_o from_o the_o first_o time_n he_o be_v miraculous_o call_v to_o be_v a_o apostle_n his_o business_n have_v be_v to_o preach_v repentance_n and_o faith_n from_o all_o which_o we_o conclude_v that_o we_o have_v good_a reason_n to_o believe_v and_o assert_v the_o affirmative_a that_o paul_n do_v not_o preach_v faith_n only_o but_o that_o he_o preach_v repentance_n also_o to_o the_o gaoler_n and_o withal_o we_o challenge_v and_o defy_v our_o author_n to_o prove_v the_o negative_a that_o paul_n preach_v not_o the_o necessity_n of_o repentance_n but_o of_o faith_n only_o in_o order_n to_o his_o salvation_n but_o say_v our_o author_n page_n 15._o no_o wit_n or_o art_n of_o man_n will_v ever_o find_v a_o crack_n or_o flaw_n in_o

thought_n of_o any_o of_o we_o or_o of_o any_o good_a christian_a to_o find_v fault_n with_o or_o to_o go_v about_o to_o mend_v paul_n answer_n to_o the_o gaolers_n question_n all_o that_o we_o say_v be_v that_o his_o whole_a answer_n be_v not_o set_v down_o express_o by_o the_o historian_n luke_n and_o we_o have_v prove_v it_o a_o true_a answer_n can_v indeed_o be_v give_v than_o it_o be_v but_o a_o full_a may_v be_v give_v and_o we_o have_v prove_v it_o be_v give_v by_o paul_n though_o not_o particular_o express_v by_o luke_n this_o may_v satisfy_v any_o reasonable_a man_n for_o we_o be_v

through_o faith_n in_o the_o blood_n of_o his_o son_n jesus_n christ_n this_o excellent_a passage_n show_v clear_o that_o as_o faith_n be_v the_o receptive_a applicative_a condition_n so_o true_a
