wise men it s said fell down and worshipped him when a Babe Matth. 8.2 The Leper worshipped him Matth. 9.18 There the Ruler worshipped him Matth. 14.33 They that were in the Ship upon his stilling the Storm worshipped him Matth. 15.25 The Women of Canaan worshipped him John 9.38 The blind man that Christ healed worshipped him After his Resurrection Mat. 28.9 They held him by the feet and worshipped him and the 17. vers And since his Ascension John worshipped him in the Visions he had and Rev. 5. The twenty four Elders yea and every Creature in its kind and way is said to worship the Lamb See what ingenous men these be to say my talk is unscriptural in pleading for the Humane Nature of Christ to be worshipped in conjunction with the Deity the foundation of the worship being the Deity neither is my talk uncouth but only to them that understand not the Christian Religion it is used by all the Christian Churches and by all Christian Writers that have written any thing of the Humane Nature of Christ especially if they have any contention with Socinians The same can I say of the other Property viz. That the Flesh of Christ giveth life to our Souls I have explained my self in that discourse in what way and manner it giveth life let them if they dare oppose it how unscriptural is this when as I there annexed John 6.53 Except ye eat my Flesh and drink my Blood ye have no life in you whenever Christ mentioneth his Flesh and Blood as here our judgement and belief is that he hath always respect to his Manhood and the benefits the Church hath by his Incarnation let them dare to contradict it and we say that this Flesh that gives life is himself the Manhood with the Deity is but one Person one Christ one Mediator and both are spoken in that place which they in their corrupt judgments alledge against us John 6.5 Pag. 13. robbing the Humanity of that which is due to it Now let us gather up all briefly without wronging them a title and you shall see what a strange Manhood it is that they have confessed to 1. Its according to them a Manhood that is no way the object of Sense cannot any way be seen felt or heard though it was both seen felt and heard after the Resurrection which was a glorified state 2. It is an Infinite Immense God not any where to be circumscribed it may be in a thousand times ten thousand of Saints at once 3. It is so thin subtle that it can penetrate doors Stone walls 4. It is informe hath no shape Figure Lineaments Countenance that is Humane 5. No one is to give any worship to it though in union with the Godhead 6. It is such a Manhood as did not die for Sinners nor doth not now intercede for Sinners For thus I argue according to what hath past if the Flesh of Christ hath not procured life for our Souls which they call'd unscriptural uncouth not to be taken notice of then did Christ never die for Sinners life for our Souls could no way be procured but by expiating and taking away the cause of death which was sin Now sin is no way expiated but by the death of Jesus Christ but Jesus Christ only died as Man suffered as to his Flesh had there been no Manhood there had been no Offering no Sacrifice 2. According to them the Man Christ doth not now intercede if he procured not Life by his Flesh and Manhood he doth not intercede there can be no life to our Souls without the Spirit and Faith now there is neither Spirit nor Faith to any but by the Intercession of Christ he obtains them thereby for us but now there is no Intercession without the Flesh and Manhood of Christ the blood of the Sacrifice was carried into the holiest which figured this viz. Christ carries the Merit of his sufferings into Heaven 1 John 2.2 He is an Advocate by vertue of his being a Propitiation it is the Man Christ Jesus that is the Mediator 7. Such a man is Christ as is not now a Priest Heb. 8.4 If he were on earth 1 Tim. 2.5 he should not be a Priest but he is on Earth the Quakers say at least in one Essential part of his Manhood his Soul is in every S●int you see Error is big bellied and fruitful This is the effect of forsaking the Scripture setting up another Rule not content with sound Doctrine given forth in sound words condemning the Christians in this day as having gross and carnal conceptions of things refining Religion and the blessed holy glorious true real operative Manhood of Jesus Christ into Air Wind Fancy Nothing and all this under a pretence that they are fully for it but we have tried them and you now plainly perceive what their true Scriptural sense is which they speak of Pag. 13. We have done with that controversy concerning the Manhood of Christ now they undertake to vindicate Christopher Tayler whom we answered in a Postscript whom if he be living I thought was at years off to answer for himself And now say they to manifest how like a confused and distempered crazed man W. H. writes take a short view of some of his inconsistencies c. Pag. 13. Reply Christ my Lord was accounted mad by his own kindred and by others the Scribes and Pharisees the Apostle Paul by Agrippa and the false Teachers was thus stigmatized to be besides himself it was a common thing among the Papists thus to censure the Martyrs because Philpot in the Convocation house manifested but a little more then ordinary zeal against the Popish errors they gave it out that he was raging Bedlam mad this is an old trick of the Devil I could name you one of my Brethren that is full of zeal for Christ that they have not long since thus dealt with all must I think much then if in this I be conformed to Christ to his Apostles to the Martyrs and the worthiest of my Brethren no surely it is my honour and we have reason to pity this People that herein as in other things they make themselves so like the Antichristian Papists I could tell them of that common speech that some there be that are not in danger of madness and say again that it might discompose the most composed man still to converse with men in Bedlam They are at it again Pag. 16. Lest he fall into manifest distraction as may tend to his and your reproach for he appears in some danger Answ Questionless they have recourse in their thoughts to that Prophet of theirs Will. Baily who pronounced a dreadful sentence against me viz. that in the name of the living God I should be mad this was at Hartford in the hearing of many to the utter shame of all their Party that was there if they had but a dram of true Humility I am sure to the amazement of many of us and the

though in another Horizon only it did not then appear it was not published if I say of a Child in the womb it is not yet come into the world the Quakers will say it is not strictly true is not the Mothers womb in the world only it stayeth there and is not come through the place of the breaking forth of Children John Crook had his Answer first written in his mind before it was in his Paper it was not then strictly true but that there was an Answer before the Answer was written as well as before it was published so witty are these people we know not how to speak the plain Truth as to matter of fact to them But I had not best talk too loud for if I should it may occasion the publication of it and that they say will not be for my credit and that if it comes out I shall have need of a better Antidote this is their Conclusion Here is the same Insinuation in the clause of this Book as was in the end of Christopher Tayler's Postcript he said had more against me then he would write these say that the answer to my Book will not be for my credit when it is published why are they still so like the Jesuits going about if possible to take away our good name and credit from us But it may be they mean only because it will be such a full and clear Refutation of my Book Truth is strong and bold that I fear not try it as soon as you will or dare But they give me fair warning to provide a better Antidote here is a tacit Concession then that there will be a stronger poyson than usual in the future Answer however I have but one and the same and there needs no other Antidote it is sufficient against all the deadly poyson inchantments divinations errors of the Socinians Quakers Ranters Mugletonians Papists in this day viz. That soveraign anointing spoken of in 1 Joh. 26 27. These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you but the anointing which you have received of him abideth in you and ye need not that any man teach you but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things and is truth and is no lie and even as it hath taught you ye shall abide in him Now see what mischief these men have done to the Christian Religion how sacrilegiously they have robbed the Curch of many sweet and comfortable Truths that the Saints in all ages have lived by Faith upon as their life and treasure in all their failings weaknesses and imperfections tryals temptations afflictions desertions for if Christ be not the same real true Man in Heaven that he was here upon Earth which the Quakers have here denied while in some wo●ds they confess it then it follows according to what I writ in my last Book which I desire may be perused again 1. There is no Intercessor no high Priest to appear in the presence of God for us for according to his real Humane Nature as well as Divine he is Mediator 2. Then is there no entring for us into Heaven for the way thither was consecrated for us through the vail of his Flesh that was his Manhood by that he went to prepare a place 3. Then is there no Spirit to be expected nor any gift thereof for the shedding of it forth was the fruit of his Ascention as Man 4. He is not now Lord and King for according to his Manhood he was exalted above all Principalities and Powers 5. Then shall Christ never come again personally to be Judge of quick and dead for as Man he is to judge the World Acts 17.31 He will judge the world in righteousness by that Man c. This Truth is openly denied by the Quakers and no wonder 6. Then hath Christ no fellow-feeling with us in our straits for it 's only as to his Manhood that he was made like to us and tempted as we ase he is now neither a merciful nor faithful high Priest if his Manhood doth not remain Heb. 2.17 And lastly we cannot then come unto him with any boldness in prayer but shall be amazed and confounded in the thoughts of the glorious Majesty of God if He hath not rendred himself familiar to us by taking our Humane Nature upon him and still retaining it in union with his Deity upon this it is that we are bid to come boldly to the Throne of Grace Heb. 4. ult Because we have an high Priest that cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities but was in all things tempted as we are FINIS
