W. Penn did not allow that Visible Body to be any part of him for a part though it constitutes not the whole altogether yet in part it Constitutes the whole as well as W. Penn's Body Constitutes him in part That the World did not See Christ with their Spiritual Eyes is granted as neither do they see his faithful followers but that they did see him really and as properly as ever B. Cool saw W. Penn with Bodily Eyes is clear from John 6. 36 where Jesus said to the Unbelieving Jews Yee also have seen me and believed not But W. Penn and B. Cool will be Wiser by that Spirit that is in them then the holy Spirit that did dictate the holy Scriptures who calleth him that was Born of the Virgin the Son of God the Christ both God and Man by Personal Vnion and the Holy Scriptures teacheth us no such distinction as that the outward Person was not properly the Son of God but he who dwells in that outward Person for tho' Christ hath two Natures yet he has but one Person it is great Arrogance and Impudence in this B. Cool who is known to be an Ignorant Man in the knowledge of the strict and proper Signification of Words to pretend he knoweth better what the Word Person signifieth than all the Learned Men throughout Christendom and then all the Holy Ancients who ever held that our Blessed Lord even considered as a Person without us because of the Personal Union of the two Natures was properly the Son of God both God and Man as the Scriptures call him which B. Cool with his Arrogant Ignorance would teach to Speak more properly and as if he were both Wiser than the Holy Men that Pen'd the Scriptures that never used any such distinction of Christ within that outward Person being properly the Son of God but that that outward Person in whom the Son Dwelt was improperly the Son of God and also as if Wiser than all the Holy Ancients and all the Learned Men now in Christendom very Magisterially tells us in his p. 12. Nevertheless saith he Since many People understand not the terms of Proper and Improper and are apt to Judge of things according to their Carnal Conceptions for that reason I should have been glad the Expression had never been used Thus we see how hard they still struggle for their Infallibility had W. Penn uttered that saying from the Holy Ghost as G. Fox saith in his Truth Defended p. 104. Our giving forth Papers or Printed Books it is from the Immediate Eternal Spirit of God and in his Great Myst p. 98. And those and you all that Speak and Write and not from God Immediately and Infallibly you are all under the Curse why should B. Cool have been glad that Expression had never been used Should he not be glad of all the Words that come from the Holy Spirit For doubtless all such are very profitable and if B. Cool did not think these Words came from the Holy Spirit by G. Fox's Verdict both W. Penn and B. Cool for all his Lyes and Fallacies uttered in this his Book are under the Curse But W. Penn is not alone in this Vile Heresie that Christs Body is no part of the true Christ for G. Whitehead is as deep in the Mire as W. Pen who in his Christian Quaker p. 139. 140. telleth us very deliberately and as he seem'd to himself very Scholastically I distinguish said he between Consisting and Having Christ Had Flesh and Bones but he did not Consist of them This shews the very heart of their Heresie as a Man hath a Garment but he doth not Consist of it it is no part of him Now to give my Readers an Instance that B. Cool thinks himself and his Brethren Wiser than the Holy Ancients in his and their denying Christ as he was Man or that outward Person to be Properly the Son of God I will briefly give some Account who were the Patrons of W. Penn G. Whitehead and B. Cool or at least their Forerunners in maintaining their Vile Heresie In the time of Justinian the Elder certain Hereticks called Bonosiani from their Master Bonosus denyed that Christ as Man was the Proper Son of God and affirm'd that he was his Adopted Son but were refuted by Justinian a Bishop of the Valensian Church who lived about that time After them about the year 783 Elipandus and Foelix two Spanish Bishops did openly affirm and Preach That although Christ was the true proper and Natural Son of God according to his Divine Nature yet according to his Humane Nature i. e. his Manhood Nature consisting of Soul and Body he was only the Son of God by Adoption and by Grace but not truly and properly Behold your Ancestors W. Pen B. Cool and G. Whitehead against whom Charles the Great called a Synod at Franckford consisting of three Hundred Bishops about the year 794 where that Heresie was condemned as J. Forbesius in his Instructions Hist Theol. Lib. 6. Chap. 1. N. 1. c. Gives a full and plain Account and these Hereticks as the said Author gives an Account did make their great Argument against the Flesh of Christ to wit his Body of visible Flesh which the Quakers will not have to be any part of him but a certain invisible Body for thus they did Argue The Flesh or Humanity of Christ was not Begotten of the Substance of God therefore the Man Christ is not in his Nature the true and proper Son of God the which Argument Paulus the Aquilensian Bishop answereth and retorteth his Argument against Foelix himself That the Soul of Foelix was not begotten of his Fathers Seed and yet the whole Foelix was the true and proper Son of his Father And the like Retortion may be made against those Quakers unless they will say that the Men whom the World called their Fathers were not their Fathers because they did not beget their Souls but only their Flesh yet this B. Cool thinks himself Wiser than these three Hundred famous Bishops who condemned this infamous Heresie above eight Hundred years ago The Third thing whereof B. Cool Accuseth me both in his Preface and Book as wronging W. Pen and the Quakers is That I have charged him and them that the History of Christs incarnation was not necessary to our Salvation or as he explains it himself p. 5. of his Preface That Faith in Christ as he Dyed for us was unnecessary viz. To our Salvation which he saith is so very Fallacious and Wicked that it deserveth no reply But wherein doth he discover it to be so I find not that he bringeth one single Instance in all his Books effectually proving that W. Pen doth hold that Faith in Christ as he Died for us is necessary to our Salvation and indeed it is contrary to the general Drift of all his Books and especially his whole Disconrse of the General Rule of Faith and Life which he will have to be both

Passages I have found in any of my former Books I have very freely and willingly Retracted and I thank God who has given me a Heart so to do and I pray God that he may be pleas'd to work the like willingness in the Hearts of all my Adversaries to Confess and Retract their Errors as I have done mine But what of Truth I have writ in any of my former Books either concerning the Light Within or any other Subject I Retain and I hope shall continue so to do to my dying moment And besides my particular Retractation of particular Passages I have in my said Book made a general Retractation of all that is not according to the Doctrine of the Holy Scripture to which I now add And of all contrary to the 39 Articles of the Church of England all which I do Believe to be perfectly agreeable to the Holy Scriptures Which I hope will satisfie the Moderate and Impartial but for others it is in vain for me to indeavour to satisfie them who will not be satisfied And notwithstanding the Clamour of my Adversaries against me of my Unconstancy and Inconsistency in Principles would they but give me a fair meeting before Impartial Witnesses I could shew much more their Unconstancy and Inconsistency ten fold than what they can shew of mine The Second thing that B. Cool blames me for both in his Preface and Book is for Quoting a Passage in my Synopsis out of W. Pen's Serious Apology p. 146. But that He viz. That Outward Person that Suffered at Jerusalem was properly the Son of God we utterly deny This B. Cool calls a Juggle See saith B.C. the Jugling of this Man But upon due Examination the Juggle will be found not to be mine but his and that base and sordid But thus it is Their Credit of Infallibility is so great a matter with them like the great Diana of the Ephesians that they will commit the greatest and most sordid Equivocation tho' ever so obvious and apparent rather than own their Error as is evident in the present Case But where is the Juggle Have I Quoted him wrong He doth not pretend that I have for he grants they are W. Pen's words But let us see whether his Gloss on W. Pen's words will excuse him he saith By the outward Person he meant no more than Flesh Blood and Bones abstract not only from the Godhead that dwelt in him but also from the very Soul of Christ as he was Man But that this Gloss is a Juggle will appear from what follows First The Question betwixt W. Pen and his Opponent who was a Presbyterian Minister in Ireland was not whether Flesh Blood and Bones abstract from the Godhead and the Soul of Christ was that outward Person that suffered at Jerusalem for it was not a Dead and Lifeless Body that suffered but a Living Body and such a Living Body that was Animated with a Rational Soul the Noblest that ever was and together with the Soul was Personally united to the Godhead And the like Juggle W. Pen himself is guilty of as G. Whitehead quotes him in his Truths Defence p. 72. Thus Defending his Assertion That he meant the Body which suffered was not properly the entire Son of God But none of his Opponents ever so said nor do I know that ever any Man did so Assert and that being no part of the Controversy cannot be the true meaning of W. Pen's assertion Secondly The outward Person doth as necessarily import and signify both the Soul and Godhead of Christ jointly with the Body as B. Cool who is an outward Person imports and signifieth both Soul and Body of B. Cool And if B. Cool should borrow or owe Money can it be said That it was only B. Cool's Flesh Blood and Bones abstractly from his Soul that owes that Money and should pay the Debt Our blessed Lord who was that outward Person that suffered for us and paid the debt of our Sins when he Died for us was not Flesh Blood and Bones without his Soul nor without his Godhead Therefore to make such an Abstraction is a meer Juggle And by the like Evasion if I should say That outward Person B. Cool is not a Man but a Beast doth he think that it would excuse me to say I meant B. Cool abstractly consider'd from his Rational Soul having only a Sensitive Soul in him common to him with the Beasts And he may as well say a piece of Wood abstract from its Length or Breadth or Depth is not a Body Whereas such an Abstraction is a Contradiction for we can conceive no Body without its true Dimensions no more can we conceive a Person without the Parts whereof that person consists But let B. Cool tell us That outward Person that Suffered whose Son was he properly If he was not properly the Son of God Mary was not a Virgin To say he was the Son of Mary as one of B. Cool's Brethren lately answered at Turners-Hall was no proper Answer to the Question but an Evasion the Question being not who was his Mother but who was his Father And as impertinent to the Question was it to Answer That he was the Son of David and Abraham for they were but his remote mediate Fathers But I ask B. Cool Who was his Immediate Father as he was Man If God then as Man that very outward Person was the Son of God as really and properly and more really and properly as that Outward Person called B. Cool was his Fathers Son Yet not so that either our Saviours Soul or Body was any part of the Godhead but because his Soul and Body was Personally United to the Eternal Word Eternally and before all Ages and Creatures begotten of the Father and that as Man he was miraculously Conceived by the Power of the Holy Ghost and Born of the Virgin Mary Thirdly That W. Penn's Vile Error and Heresie and B. Cools Juggle may yet more appear it is Evident from W. Penn's Words in his other Books that he thinks that outward Person that Suffered at Jerusalem was no part of the true Christ But that as he hath affirm'd he was called Christ by a Metonymie of the thing containing getting the Name of the thing contained as a Vessel that holds Wine is called Wine yet this Vessel is no part of the Wine and that the Body of Christ is called the Christ he saith that is Metonymically spoken the thing containing for the thing contained see W. Penns Rejoynder to Jo. Faldo p. 304. Had he said it was a Synecdoche of the part put for the whole he had spoke as a Christian but a Metonimy makes the Body nor yet the Soul not to be any part of the true Christ And in his p. 300 he saith Christ qualified that Body for his Service but that Body did not Constitute Christ he is Invisible and ever was so to the Vngodly World that was not his Body By all which it Evidently appears
