SOME
False
Principles
AND
ERRORS
DISCOVERED
AND
REFUTED
:
In
a
short
Answer
to
a
Catechism
book
,
which
is
said
to
contain
,
The
Principles
of
Religion
,
put
forth
by
a
namelesse
Authour
;
But
is
supposed
to
be
the
work
of
one
Samuel
Eaton
,
a
professed
Minister
of
the
Gospel
,
among
the
Sect
of
the
Independants
,
in
Cheshire
.
But
upon
true
examination
he
is
found
to
be
teaching
the
traditions
of
men
for
the
commandements
of
Christ
;
and
his
Principles
are
proved
to
be
not
according
,
but
contrary
to
the
Spirit
of
God
and
the
Scriptures
.

TO
THE
READER
.
THE
Reason
and
Cause
of
this
being
sent
abroad
is
for
the
better
Information
of
all
,
but
more
particularly
for
the
good
of
that
Assembly
,
to
whom
Samuel
Eaton
is
Minister
and
Pastor
,
that
they
may
know
the
truth
from
errour
,
and
the
way
of
Righteousnesse
from
all
false
wayes
,
and
may
turn
from
Idol-shepherds
that
destroyes
the
vineyard
,
and
treads
it
down
,
and
may
come
to
Christ
,
and
receive
him
who
is
the
chief
shepherd
,
to
feed
his
flock
with
the
bread
of
eternal
life
.
And
the
reason
why
these
false
principles
are
charged
upon
Samuel
Eaton
is
this
,
it
being
doubtful
to
some
who
was
the
Authour
of
that
Catechism
,
wherein
these
principles
and
doctrines
was
held
forth
:
John
Gredley
and
Anne
Sheeld
by
name
was
with
the
said
Samuel
Eaton
,
and
asked
him
if
he
owned
that
book
(
the
Catechism
)
and
he
said
he
would
maintain
all
in
it
;
that
was
his
answer
.
THe
wayes
of
the
Lord
are
equall
and
just
,
but
the
wayes
of
the
Sons
of
Adam
are
altogether
corrupted
,
and
different
and
contrary
to
the
wayes
of
Salvation
;
And
the
wisedome
that
is
of
this
world
is
foolishness
with
God
,
and
its
end
is
destruction
to
it self
,
and
to
all
that
walk
therein
;
And
what
is
man
,
that
he
shall
prescribe
a
way
to
his
Maker
?
and
who
is
it
,
that
will
be
more
wise
then
God
,
to
set
him
a
way
how
he
must
teach
his
people
?
Therefore
in
vaine
have
men
laboured
,
and
have
reaped
to
themselves
nothing
but
wind
and
confusion
;
And
in
vaine
have
they
sowen
,
for
others
to
reap
after
them
,
whose
fruit
hath
been
emptiness
,
and
not
filled
the
hand
of
the
gatherer
;
And
in
particular
this
book
with
which
I
am
now
dealing
,
is
the
fruit
of
an
empty
Tree
,
which
cannot
satisfie
the
hungry
soul
,
nor
comfort
the
weary
seeker
;
for
the
satisfaction
and
comfort
of
the
seeking
hungry
soul
dependeth
only
upon
the
Lord
,
and
upon
the
bread
of
life
that
commeth
down
from
God
;
and
the
soul
that
eats
thereof
is
satisfied
and
comforted
for
ever
,
and
hungers
no
more
,
nor
thirsts
any
longer
;
but
the
fountaine
is
in
him
,
and
the
well
springs
up
unto
eternall
life
,
and
he
goes
no
more
forth
:
And
if
so
be
that
all
herein
were
true
and
sound
Doctrine
,
and
were
learned
,
so
as
to
express
it
over
againe
in
words
this
might
be
,
and
yet
the
soul
still
remaining
in
anguish
,
and
under
sin
and
death
,
though
increased
in
the
knowledg
that
is
from
below
,
and
yet
in
a
farther
ignorance
of
God
;
for
the
wisdom
of
this
world
knows
not
God
,
neither
can
it
teach
,
nor
receive
the
knowledg
of
the
things
that
pertaines
unto
life
eternall
,
but
to
the
simple
and
to
fools
doth
the
Lord
teach
and
reveal
the
knowledge
of
his
kingdom
,
and
it
is
not
received
from
books
,
nor
the
teachings
and
traditions
of
men
,
but
by
the
manifestation
of
the
eternall
spirit
which
doth
lead
into
all
truth
,
and
reveal
the
mysteries
of
Salvation
.
The
first
thing
that
I
take
notice
of
is
this
,
thou
saist
,
God
is
a
Spirit
,
and
he
is
one
in
●eing
,
and
is
to
be
distinguished
into
three
persons
,
and
the
Father
,
Son
,
and
holy
Ghost
are
personall
relations
;
and
if
one
be
a
person
such
are
the
other
,
&c.
Ans.
The
Father
,
Son
,
and
Spirit
is
one
,
this
we
believe
and
know
,
according
to
the
Scriptures
;
but
as
for
thy
word
person
,
that
is
carnall
and
too
low
a
word
to
denominate
God
by
,
who
is
infinite
;
for
God
and
the
spirit
hath
no
person
,
nor
cannot
truely
be
distinguished
into
persons
;
for
a
person
hath
relation
to
place
,
time
,
and
change
,
and
is
not
in
all
places
at
all
times
at
once
,
and
the
Scriptures
knowes
no
such
distinction
,
for
God
is
is
a
spirit
,
and
hath
no
relation
to
one
time
,
place
or
alteration
more
then
another
,
but
filleth
heaven
and
earth
,
and
his
presence
is
in
all
,
and
over
all
,
who
is
blessed
for
ever
,
and
is
infinite
,
and
without
person
,
or
confined
being
,
and
the
Scripture
no where
in
true
translation
,
doth
denominate
God
,
Christ
and
the
spirit
by
persons
,
and
personall
beings
,
nor
doth
distinguish
them
into
three
persons
;
for
persons
are
related
to
carnall
,
as
I
have
said
,
and
persons
is
to
low
,
too
denominate
God
and
Christ
and
the
spirit
by
:
so
thy
principles
are
unsound
,
and
not
agreeing
to
the
spirit
of
God
,
and
the
Scriptures
,
And
therefore
not
to
be
beleeved
nor
received
.
Whereas
thou
saist
,
That
the
one
standing
rule
,
according
to
which
God
is
to
be
sought
,
worshipped
and
served
,
is
the
holy
Scriptures
,
in
which
God
hath
revealed
himself
in
all
things
which
he
would
have
believed
and
done
,
&c.
Ans.
It
is
the
spirit
of
God
that
gave
forth
the
Scriptures
,
which
spirit
was
and
is
within
the
saints
that
leadeth
into
all
truth
,
and
teacheth
to
know
all
things
,
and
that
spirit
of
God
only
is
the
standing
rule
to
walk
in
,
and
to
walk
by
;
it
was
the
rule
to
Abel
,
Enoch
,
Abraham
,
and
the
rest
of
the
holy
Fathers
that
lived
before
any
scripture
was
written
,
and
it
was
the
rule
to
the
Prophets
,
to
Christ
and
to
the
holy
Apostles
,
they
all
followed
the
spirit
and
walked
in
it
,
and
spake
and
wrought
and
acted
as
the
spirit
of
God
within
them
moved
them
,
and
led
them
,
it
was
not
the
Scriptures
,
but
the
sprit
that
gave
forth
the
Scriptures
that
was
the
standing
,
unchangable
,
unerring
rule
of
worshiping
serving
and
obeying
the
Lord
God
,
and
that
same
spirit
is
the
standing
rule
to
us
also
;
for
the
Apostle
commands
to
walk
in
the
spirit
,
and
that
which
we
are
to
walk
in
is
our
rule
,
and
as
many
as
are
the
sonns
of
God
are
led
by
the
spirit
of
God
,
and
then
the
spirit
is
their
rule
,
and
that
guides
the
feet
in
the
way
of
peace
,
and
in
the
spirit
is
God
worshipped
,
for
they
that
worship
him
must
worship
him
in
the
spirit
and
in
the
truth
,
&
such
he
seeks
to
worship
him
,
for
it
is
in
the
hearts
of
his
people
,
and
within
them
that
God
reveales
himself
by
his
spirit
,
for
it
is
the
spirit
that
revealeth
the
things
of
God
,
and
none
knows
the
things
of
God
,
saving
by
the
spirit
of
God
,
and
that
reveals
God
,
and
teacheth
to
worship
God
and
to
serve
him
,
and
the
Scriptures
they
declare
of
the
rule
,
and
of
the
revelation
of
God
,
and
are
a
declaration
of
all
things
which
is
to
be
believed
and
practised
by
the
children
of
the
Lord
;
so
that
the
Scriptures
are
not
the
standing
rule
,
neither
doth
it
teach
to
worship
and
serve
God
,
but
the
spirit
that
gave
forth
the
Scriptures
,
that
is
the
standing
rule
in
and
through
all
generations
,
and
the
spirit
doth
reveal
the
knowledge
of
God
,
and
how
he
is
to
be
worshipped
and
served
.
And
thou
saist
,
the
Scriptures
are
the
word
of
God
,
given
by
imediate
inspiration
of
God
,
and
that
they
are
given
to
all
men
to
be
read
,
and
the
Scriptures
are
sufficient
to
make
the
man
of
God
perfect
and
throughly
furnished
,
and
are
able
to
make
wise
unto
Salvation
;
and
the
Scriptures
and
plain
and
easy
to
be
understood
by
the
simplest
,
and
there
is
milke
in
them
for
babes
,
and
strong
meat
for
persons
grown
up
.
Ans.
Christ
is
the
word
of
God
,
and
his
name
is
called
the
word
of
God
,
and
the
word
of
God
was
in
the
beginning
and
shall
endure
for
ever
;
and
this
word
is
not
the
Scriptures
,
and
the
Scriptures
are
not
the
word
,
but
the
Scriptures
are
words
of
God
,
given
forth
from
the
Word
which
was
in
their
hearts
that
spake
forth
the
Scriptures
,
which
were
wro●
as
the
holy
men
of
God
were
moved
by
the
holy
Ghost
,
and
given
by
the
inspiration
of
the
spirit
of
God
,
and
the
Scriptures
are
a
declaration
,
and
a
treatise
of
the
Word
that
was
in
the
beginning
,
and
shall
endure
for
ever
;
but
the
Scriptures
are
not
the
word
,
and
some
of
them
were
given
to
one
sort
of
men
,
and
some
of
them
to
another
,
and
some
of
them
to
all
;
but
as
for
the
threatnings
and
Judgments
pronounced
,
and
the
reproof
of
the
wicked
,
that
part
was
not
given
to
the
Saints
nor
spoken
to
them
,
and
so
not
given
to
all
,
and
the
promises
to
the
children
of
the
Lord
,
and
the
Epistles
to
the
Saints
,
and
them
that
were
sanctified
,
that
part
was
not
given
&
spoken
to
the
world
and
to
the
wicked
who
are
unconverted
,
and
so
not
spoken
to
all
,
though
all
may
read
them
,
yet
none
can
understand
them
but
by
the
same
spirit
as
gave
them
forth
,
and
who
hath
not
the
same
spirit
to
guide
them
,
they
cannot
understand
the
Scriptures
,
for
it
was
given
forth
by
the
eternall
spirit
,
and
the
carnall
wisdom
that
is
from
below
,
and
sensual
,
cannot
understand
nor
receive
the
things
of
the
kingdom
of
God
,
which
is
declared
of
in
the
Scriptures
,
and
so
the
Scriptures
are
not
easy
to
be
understood
,
but
are
sealed
from
the
world
,
neither
are
the
Scriptures
without
faith
(
which
thou
hast
left
out
)
sufficient
to
make
the
man
of
God
perfect
,
but
the
Scriptures
through
faith
,
is
able
to
make
the
man
of
God
perfect
,
and
throughly
Furnished
,
this
we
know
and
beleeve
,
and
doth
set
the
Scriptures
in
its
right
place
,
and
give
it
its
right
honour
and
respect
;
and
as
for
thee
and
thy
generation
who
are
erred
from
the
spirit
of
truth
,
you
know
not
the
Scriptures
nor
the
power
of
God
,
for
Christ
is
the
bread
of
life
,
and
the
water
of
life
,
in
him
is
the
milk
for
babes
,
and
meat
for
strong
men
,
and
not
in
the
Scriptures
who
testifie
of
Christ
the
life
,
and
in
them
the
Pharisees
thought
to
have
eternall
life
,
but
would
not
come
to
Christ
the
end
of
the
Scriptures
that
they
might
have
life
,
and
this
is
the
self
same
state
with
yours
of
this
age
,
who
thinks
to
have
the
perfecting
of
Salvation
and
the
milk
for
babes
,
and
the
meat
for
strong
men
in
the
Scriptures
,
but
will
not
receive
Christ
who
is
the
perfect
Salvation
and
the
bread
and
water
of
life
for
all
the
children
of
the
Lord
who
are
born
of
the
spirit
;
and
so
thy
Doctrines
,
and
thy
principles
of
thy
Religion
,
are
not
sound
nor
agreeing
with
the
Scriptures
but
contray
,
and
by
a
contrary
spirit
,
and
therefore
we
cannot
be
of
thy
mind
,
but
doth
truly
Judge
thee
to
be
unlearned
of
the
Father
,
and
knows
not
the
way
of
Salvation
,
and
so
thou
cannot
truly
inform
nor
direct
others
.
And
thou
saist
,
men
are
under
a
necessity
of
multiplying
transgression

In
this
thou
hast
erred
,
and
spoken
contrary
to
sound
doctrine
;
for
there
is
no
necessity
laid
upon
any
to
commit
any
sin
,
much
lesse
a
necessity
of
multiplying
transgression
;
if
there
be
a
necessity
,
who
layes
it
on
men
,
and
why
is
that
necessity
?
transgression
is
of
the
wicked
one
,
and
who
sins
is
of
the
Devill
,
and
there
is
no
necessity
for
that
upon
any
account
,
because
sin
destroyes
the
soul
,
and
is
a
vexation
to
the
Lord
God
,
and
a
cause
of
everlasting
misery
,
and
for
to
act
that
,
there
is
no
necessity
,
which
hath
these
effects
,
and
thou
hast
perverted
the
Scriptures
quoted
by
thee
,
to
prove
thy
false
assertion
which
I
have
set
down
for
the
Reader
to
peruse
,
that
all
may
see
thou
hast
perverted
them
,
for
they
prove
no
such
Doctrine
,
as
that
there
is
a
necessity
of
multiplying
transgression
,
which
thou
hast
affirmed
and
brought
the
Scriptures
to
prove
it
,
which
is
first
false
doctrine
uttered
by
three
,
and
also
a
perverting
of
the
Scriptures
to
maintain
it
,
and
this
is
too
evils
,
which
thou
hast
committed
in
one
work
,
and
because
thou
hast
done
evill
,
it
shall
lie
at
thy
dore
,
and
there
I
will
leave
it
.
And
thou
saist
,
to
be
Iu●●●fied
is
not
to
be
really
cleansed
from
all
sin
,
nor
is
it
to
partake
of
real
righteousness
and
holines
,
but
it
is
to
be
accounted
and
reputed
Iust
and
holy
,
and
not
to
have
sin
reckoned
,
&c.
Ans.
There
is
none
Justified
but
who
are
in
Christ
,
and
are
changed
,
and
renewed
and
born
again
,
and
such
are
cleansed
from
sin
,
for
he
that
is
born
of
God
sinneth
not
,
and
it
is
he
onely
that
is
Justified
,
and
not
the
old
man
that
is
unchanged
,
and
committeth
sin
,
he
is
not
Justified
;
and
who
is
born
of
God
and
are
Justified
,
are
really
cleansed
and
really
doth
partake
of
righteousness
and
holiness
,
even
of
the
righteousness
and
holiness
of
the
Son
of
God
,
and
in
that
righteousness
he
is
accounted
righteous
,
and
in
no
other
,
nor
by
no
other
way
then
by
receiving
Christ
and
his
righteousness
,
and
being
made
partakers
of
it
in
their
hearts
,
for
the
Apostle
said
,
if
Christ
be
not
in
you
,
you
are
reprobates
,
and
such
are
not
Justified
,
nor
accounted
just
and
holy
who
have
not
Christ
within
them
,
and
his
righteosness
,
but
who
hath
Christ
within
,
the
hope
of
glory
,
and
are
accounted
just
and
righteous
in
the
sight
of
God
,
the
body
of
sin
is
put
off
;
for
if
Christ
be
in
you
,
the
body
is
dead
because
of
sin
,
and
such
are
really
cleansed
,
and
if
he
be
in
you
,
you
are
made
partakers
of
reall
righteousness
and
holiness
,
and
this
is
the
truth
of
the
Gospell
of
Christ
which
confounds
and
condemnes
thy
false
Doctrine
,
for
no
man
is
accounted
and
reputed
just
and
holy
,
but
who
are
cleansed
from
sin
,
&
are
in
Christs
;
for
who
doth
commit
sin
are
unholy
,
and
so
reputed
of
God
,
and
sin
is
reckoned
to
them
,
and
this
all
will
find
in
the
day
of
the
Lord
,
when
he
comes
to
Judge
righteously
,
and
to
give
every
man
according
to
his
works
,
and
not
according
to
what
he
may
make
a
shew
of
and
profess
in
words
,
though
all
you
false
daubers
with
untempered
morter
,
heale
up
the
hurt
of
the
Daughter
of
Sion
deceitfully
,
and
cry
peace
,
peace
,
by
a
false
applying
the
Promises
and
words
of
Christ
,
when
God
speakes
no
peace
,
and
even
you
and
your
false
daubed
wall
will
be
Whirle-wind
of
the
Lord
beat
down
and
destroy
utterly
;
and
this
I
assert
contrary
to
thy
false
doctrine
and
principles
,
that
none
are
Justified
,
but
who
hath
Christ
in
them
,
and
really
partakes
of
holiness
and
righteousness
,
and
are
really
cleansed
from
sin
,
and
are
born
of
the
spirit
of
God
,
and
is
heire
of
the
promise
of
eternall
life
.
And
further
thou
saist
Iustification
admitteth
not
of
any
degree
▪
and
if
a
person
be
Iustified
from
any
one
sin
,
he
is
Iustified
from
all
sin
,
as
well
from
sins
to
be
committed
,
as
those
that
are
already
commited
,
and
who
is
once
a
Iustified
person
,
is
not
unjustified
upon
new
sin
committed
,
&c.
Ans.
Grace
and
faith
,
and
truth
,
and
Christ
himself
admitteth
of
degrees
,
or
measures
which
are
one
,
and
there
are
severall
measures
of
life
,
of
light
,
of
grace
and
faith
,
of
sanctification
,
and
of
Justification
also
;
for
according
as
every
man
,
hath
received
Christ
so
hath
he
received
Sanctification
,
and
Justification
,
and
no
otherwise
,
for
Christ
is
made
wisdome
,
and
Sanctification
,
and
Salvation
,
and
every
one
feels
his
Sanctification
,
and
his
Justification
,
according
to
the
measure
of
the
gift
of
Christ
given
to
him
,
so
that
there
are
severall
measures
of
Justification
,
and
also
a
man
may
be
Justified
from
one
sin
,
or
some
sin
,
and
not
from
all
sin
;
for
according
to
every
mans
Sanctification
,
so
is
the
witness
of
his
Justification
to
him
,
and
no
more
;
and
if
thou
knowest
any
thing
by
experience
thou
knowest
this
,
and
no
man
is
Justified
from
the
evill
which
he
is
to
commit
,
for
that
faith
gives
licence
to
sin
,
if
any
committing
sin
,
shall
beleeve
that
that
sin
is
long
since
forgiven
,
and
he
is
Justified
from
it
,
and
if
he
shall
beleeve
he
is
Justified
,
though
he
commit
sin
,
even
long
before
he
commits
his
sin
,
this
will
be
a
cause
to
run
into
sin
,
and
is
a
gap
opened
by
thee
,
unto
all
unrighteousnesse
;
Why
,
if
people
can
believe
they
are
justified
from
the
sins
which
they
have
yet
to
commit
,
what
should
restrain
them
from
running
with
pleasure
into
all
unrighteousness
?
&
if
new
sins
alwaies
committed
,
do
not
make
persons
unjustified
,
then
may
the
sinners
rejoice
in
their
sins
,
and
take
their
pleasure
in
ungodliness
;
this
doctrine
of
thine
is
pleasant
to
the
wicked
,
and
it
is
the
way
and
principle
of
liberty
in
all
sin
,
rather
then
the
principles
to
lead
from
sin
,
and
so
thou
hast
shewed
whose
work
thou
art
doing
,
by
strengthning
the
wicked
in
his
way
,
so
that
he
cannot
turne
from
sin
,
rather
then
drawing
him
from
sin
,
and
this
is
the
Devils
work
.
And
thou
saist
such
as
are
justified
,
are
regenerated
and
sanctified
;
and
a
little
before
thou
said
to
be
justified
is
not
to
be
cleansed
,
nor
is
it
to
partake
of
real
righteousnesse
;
and
persons
are
justified
from
sins
which
they
have
to
commit
.
And
these
are
contradictions
,
and
proceed
out
of
darknesse
,
and
not
from
the
light
;
and
thy
folly
and
ignorance
may
be
read
by
all
men
;
for
who
are
regenerated
and
sanctified
are
cleansed
,
and
partakes
of
real
righteousnesse
;
and
thou
further
saist
,
that
sanctification
is
a
real
change
from
sin
to
the
purity
of
the
Image
of
God
and
I
say
none
are
sanctified
but
they
are
justified
,
so
none
are
justified
but
who
are
changed
into
the
Image
of
God
,
this
the
trut●
saith
,
and
wherein
thou
hast
said
contrary
,
thou
hast
spoken
contrary
to
the
truth
,
and
the
truth
will
judge
thee
.
Again
thou
saist
sanctification
is
not
perfect
in
this
life
,
&
the
new
man
,
the
spirit
or
law
of
the
mind
,
is
that
grace
or
imperfect
sanctification
,
&c.
Ans.
Then
Christ
is
not
perfect
in
this
life
,
for
he
is
made
of
God
unto
us
sanctification
,
1
Cor.
1.
30.
but
we
say
Christ
is
perfect
,
and
therefore
sanctification
is
perfect
,
and
the
new
man
is
the
Image
of
God
,
and
is
created
in
righteousnesse
and
in
true
holinesse
;
but
thou
saist
the
new
man
is
imperfect
;
consider
of
thy
principles
,
when
they
are
compared
with
the
scriptures
,
and
see
the
error
and
wickednesse
of
them
,
and
the
spirit
and
Law
in
the
mind
is
the
spirit
of
God
,
and
the
Law
of
God
in
which
the
Apostles
served
God
,
and
so
doth
all
the
Saints
;
but
thou
saist
the
spirit
and
Law
in
the
mind
,
is
imperfect
,
and
this
is
error
in
the
highest
degree
,
to
say
or
signifie
that
the
new
man
the
Image
of
God
,
that
is
in
righteousnesse
and
true
holinesse
,
and
the
Spirit
of
God
and
the
Law
of
God
is
imperfect
sanctification
,
and
grace
is
the
salvation
,
and
is
Gods
sufficiencie
,
and
that
thou
saist
is
imperfect
also
;
and
thus
thy
principles
of
thy
religion
which
thou
walkest
in
thy selfe
,
and
would
teach
to
others
,
are
abominable
,
corrupted
principles
of
error
,
and
contrary
to
the
spirit
of
truth
,
and
to
the
scriptures
also
;
and
no
marvel
that
thy
name
is
concealed
,
for
thy
work
deserves
not
a
good
mans
name
to
it
;
much
more
might
be
said
to
lay
open
further
thy
folly
,
but
this
is
sufficient
to
men
of
understanding
;
and
contrary
to
thee
I
do
assert
,
that
the
new
man
,
the
Image
of
God
,
the
Spirit
and
Law
of
God
in
the
mind
,
is
perfect
grace
and
perfect
sanctification
,
and
thou
hast
said
the
contrary
,
and
now
whether
thy
principles
of
Religion
,
or
mine
,
be
the
more
true
,
and
whether
fals
,
let
all
sober
men
judg
with
the
light
in
their
conscience
,
And
thou
saist
,
the
old
man
,
the
flesh
,
the
body
of
sin
,
the
body
of
death
,
is
the
sin
that
remaines
in
sanctified
persons
.
Ans.
Who
are
sanctified
,
are
●reed
from
the
body
of
sin
and
death
,
and
hath
put
it
off
,
and
the
Law
of
the
Spirit
of
life
hath
freed
them
from
the
flesh
,
and
from
the
old
man
;
for
if
the
old
man
,
the
fl●sh
,
the
body
of
sin
,
and
death
be
in
the
sanctified
person●
,
then
there
is
none
sanctified
at
all
,
and
what
are
they
sanctified
,
freed
and
cleansed
from
,
if
the
old
man
,
the
fl●sh
,
the
body
of
sin
and
death
be
yee
remaining
in
them
?
thou
speakest
like
an
unlearned
man
,
and
one
that
,
knowes
not
the
sanctified
estate
,
but
art
erring
in
thy
mind
,
and
judgment
,
and
in
thy
words
also
,
for
we
have
put
off
the
old
man
,
and
are
Crucified
to
the
flesh
,
and
made
free
from
the
body
of
sin
and
death
,
and
this
is
our
sanctification
,
and
who
are
remaining
in
these
things
are
not
sanctified
,
but
in
the
degeneration
,
and
hath
no
part
yet
in
the
kingdom
of
God
,
nor
in
Christ
Jesus
,
but
are
without
him
in
the
world
.
And
thou
saist
,
the
sanctification
of
the
first
day
,
hath
put
an
end
to
the
sanctification
of
the
seventh
&c.
Ans.
Here
again
thou
hast
uttered
that
which
thou
knowes
not
,
for
all
daies
are
alike
unto
God
,
and
one
sanctified
as
much
as
an
other
,
and
no
respect
of
daies
with
him
,
but
all
are
holy
,
and
pure
,
and
good
,
and
when
the
sanctification
of
any
thing
is
put
to
an
end
,
(
as
as
thou
saist
the
sanctification
of
the
seventh
day
is
)
then
the
thing
is
no
more
good
,
nor
holy
,
but
become
evil
and
unclean
,
if
it
be
no
more
sanctified
nor
holy
,
and
in
this
principle
thou
hast
erred
also
;
as
for
the
seventh
day
it
was
commanded
of
God
to
the
Jews
,
to
be
kept
and
observed
holy
to
the
Lord
,
and
all
manner
of
labour
to
all
Creatures
were
forbiden
,
which
thing
was
a
signe
and
a
shadow
of
a
good
thing
to
come
,
the
end
of
which
ordinance
was
Christs
the
substance
of
all
things
,
and
the
end
of
daies
,
and
that
there
was
any
anulling
of
that
command
to
the
Jews
,
and
a
command
to
keep
and
observe
the
first
day
of
the
week
in
stead
of
the
other
,
by
any
outward
command
,
this
we
read
not
in
all
the
Scriptures
,
and
what
ground
thou
hast
more
then
thy
imaginations
I
know
not
;
to
assert
the
changing
of
dayes
,
and
to
teach
the
observation
of
the
first
day
,
as
the
Sabbath
instead
of
the
seventh
day
,
seeing
thou
hast
nothing
in
the
Scriptures
to
raise
such
a
principle
from
,
and
so
would
make
exception
of
daies
,
and
respect
of
times
which
the
Apostles
did
not
,
after
the
holy
spirit
was
come
;
for
daies
and
times
all
are
a
like
to
God
,
and
who
are
come
to
Christ
the
true
rest
of
the
immortal
Soul
,
are
in
the
end
of
daies
,
and
out
of
the
respect
of
times
,
in
the
substance
which
endures
for
ever
,
and
in
the
Gospel
ministrations
,
there
is
no
command
or
injunction
,
by
Christ
or
by
his
Apostles
given
to
us
for
the
observing
any
one
day
more
then
another
.
And
thou
saist
,
when
it
is
said
,
swear
not
at
all
,
the
meaning
is
not
vainly
and
unnecessarily
.
Ans.
Christ
hath
not
spoken
doubtfully
,
but
plainly
,
and
he
hath
not
left
his
words
to
thee
to
give
thy
fals
meaning
upon
;
so
thou
takest
too
much
upon
thee
,
and
intrudest
into
things
thou
hast
not
seen
,
and
all
swearing
which
is
contrarie
to
the
command
of
Christ
,
is
unnecessarie
and
vain
,
though
by
such
false
consequences
and
perverting
of
Scriptures
,
thou
&
thy
generation
hast
made
the
people
to
err
,
and
led
the
blind
by
the
way
;
for
where
the
Scriptures
,
as
they
are
in
themselves
,
doth
not
made
for
your
turn
,
then
it
means
not
thus
,
but
otherwise
,
and
this
is
the
consequence
,
and
it
must
be
interpreted
say
you
,
and
so
you
pervert
the
Scriptures
to
your
own
destruction
,
and
to
the
undoing
of
manie
others
,
for
you
that
lead
the
people
cause
them
to
err
.
And
where
is
thou
speakst
,
of
outward
seals
of
the
Covenant
,
which
is
Baptism
(
saist
thou
)
which
appertaines
to
grown
persons
converted
,
and
also
to
children
,
&c.
Acts
2.
39.
Ans.
The
seal
of
the
covenant
of
God
is
the
Spirit
,
even
the
Spirit
of
promise
which
sealeth
and
confirmeth
unto
God
,
and
not
any
outward
thing
;
for
the
Covenant
of
God
is
inward
and
spiritual
,
and
not
outward
and
carnal
;
and
the
seal
and
testimonie
of
it
,
is
the
spirit
of
life
,
and
no
tradition
of
man
;
and
as
for
Baptism
in
that
way
and
manner
administred
and
practised
,
as
in
the
Church
of
England
,
it
is
wholie
an
invention
of
man
,
and
not
after
any
Institution
and
commandement
of
God
,
and
sprinkling
of
infants
,
which
is
said
to
be
Baptism
,
is
so
far
from
being
a
seal
of
the
Covenant
of
God
,
that
it
is
a
mark
of
the
whore
of
Rome
,
and
was
by
her
first
of
all
ordained
and
begun
to
be
practised
in
her
Church
,
and
your
false
Minsters
have
received
it
from
her
,
and
it
is
a
seal
and
sign
that
you
and
you
Ministrie
and
Church
is
of
the
whore
of
Rome
,
and
not
of
the
true
Church
of
Christ
;
for
,
the
Apostles
nor
the
true
Church
of
Christ
never
ordained
nor
practised
such
a
thing
amongst
them
;
and
in
the
true
Church
,
as
sprinkling
of
infants
and
calling
it
the
Baptism
in
the
faith
of
Christ
,
and
the
seal
of
the
Covenant
,
there
was
no
such
practice
and
dostrine
amongst
them
;
but
it
is
come
up
since
the
true
Church
fled
into
the
wildernesse
,
and
since
the
beast
received
power
over
kindreds
and
Nations
,
and
it
is
an
institution
of
the
great
whore
that
hath
sat
upon
the
waters
,
for
many
generations
,
and
she
hath
made
Nations
drink
her
cup
of
fornication
,
and
the
original
of
this
practice
and
principle
is
received
out
of
the
whores
Cup
,
and
not
by
any
commandement
of
Christ
,
or
axample
of
his
Church
and
Apostles
;
and
I
cannot
but
charge
thee
,
that
thou
teaches
for
doctrine
the
traditions
of
men
,
and
holds
forth
for
principles
of
Religion
,
to
be
believed
and
learned
,
the
institutions
of
the
great
whore
,
of
whose
cup
thou
hast
drunk
,
and
would
also
give
it
to
others
that
they
may
drink
it
also
,
and
to
accomplish
which
evil
end
thou
hast
perverted
the
Scriptures
Acts
2.
39.
for
the
Scripture
hath
no
such
thing
intended
in
it
,
as
to
the
baptising
of
infants
,
for
which
end
thou
hast
falsely
cited
it
,
for
though
the
promise
is
to
as
many
as
the
Lord
our
God
shall
call
,
yet
what
is
this
to
the
sprinkling
of
infants
,
which
thou
asserts
as
a
principle
of
Religion
,
and
would
seem
to
enforce
it
,
by
vertue
of
the
Scripture
mentioned
?
but
thou
hast
abused
the
Scripture
,
and
shewed
thy selfe
to
be
disagreeing
to
the
holie
Ministers
and
Apostles
of
Christ
,
and
to
be
agreeing
with
the
false
Church
of
Rome
,
and
this
is
answer
sufficient
to
thee
.
And
thou
saist
,
The
outward
covenant
of
God
is
conditionall
,
and
the
profession
of
the
faith
entitles
both
such
as
make
it
,
and
their
infants
unto
it
(
to
wit
,
)
the
covenant
.
Ans.
The
Covenant
of
God
is
not
outward
but
spiritual
,
as
I
have
said
,
and
it
is
also
free
,
even
the
free
gift
of
God
,
and
the
promise
and
Covenant
is
freely
manifested
without
the
performing
any
thing
by
the
creature
to
obtain
it
from
God
,
for
it
stands
not
upon
condition
,
but
upon
free
love
and
mercie
;
and
many
makes
a
profession
of
faith
which
hath
not
right
nor
title
to
the
inheritance
of
Salvation
,
nor
to
Gods
sure
covenant
,
neither
can
anie
upon
earth
,
much
lesse
Infants
void
o●
understanding
,
have
any
assurance
or
title
in
the
Covenant
of
life
eternal
,
but
who
are
regenerated
and
born
of
the
elect
seed
,
for
the
unchanged
and
degenerated
,
in
that
state
hath
no
title
nor
right
in
the
Covenant
,
but
Abrahams
seed
which
is
heir
of
the
promise
,
which
is
born
of
God
and
not
from
below
,
to
that
is
the
Covenant
;
so
thou
hast
spoken
things
thou
knowest
not
,
and
hast
manifested
thy
false
principles
which
thou
walkest
in
,
and
would
cause
others
to
receive
them
also
.
Then
thou
speakest
,
of
bread
and
wine
,
which
(
saist
thou
)
are
the
outward
signes
in
the
Lords
Supper
,
and
are
aseal
of
the
Covenant
also
,
&c.
Ans.
The
supper
of
the
Lord
is
the
bread
of
eternal
life
,
the
bodie
and
blood
of
Christ
,
and
who
eats
thereof
shall
never
die
,
nor
hunger
and
thurst
any
more
;
and
as
for
bread
and
wine
visible
and
carnal
,
that
is
not
the
real
Supper
of
the
Lord
,
and
even
the
purest
institution
and
practice
thereof
is
but
a
representation
of
a
thing
,
and
not
the
very
thing
,
and
the
end
and
substance
being
come
,
the
outward
sign
may
be
neglected
;
But
as
for
the
manner
and
institution
of
that
practice
in
the
Church
of
England
,
and
the
practise
it selfe
,
we
deny
to
be
either
a
sign
of
good
past
,
or
to
come
;
but
in
an
Idolatrous
way
it
is
leld
forth
,
and
not
in
any
true
honour
to
God
;
for
he
is
thereby
dishonoured
;
for
the
false
Church
hath
gotten
the
forme
of
that
practice
as
well
as
of
many
others
,
(
which
the
true
Church
once
practised
)
without
the
power
,
and
now
doth
practise
many
things
,
in
meer
imitation
and
vain
Idolatry
,
and
in
form
and
tradition
,
and
without
the
teaching
of
the
Spirit
,
which
sometime
the
true
Church
and
the
Apostles
practised
in
the
power
,
and
by
the
leading
of
the
Spirit
of
God
,
and
what
the
command
of
God
was
unto
them
;
so
that
though
you
may
in
some
things
practice
the
very
same
which
the
Apostles
did
,
yet
having
not
the
same
Spirit
to
lead
you
,
nor
being
guided
thereby
as
the
saints
and
the
Apostles
were
,
your
works
are
but
Idolatry
and
formal
,
and
not
accepted
of
the
Lord
,
but
stinks
in
his
nostrels
,
and
your
covenant
is
outward
,
and
your
seals
outward
,
your
Baptism
and
Supper
outward
and
carnal
,
and
while
you
are
with
zeal
prosecuting
your
outward
proformances
and
following
them
,
you
neglect
the
inward
,
and
the
substance
,
which
is
Christ
within
you
the
hope
of
glory
,
which
if
he
be
in
you
,
then
the
body
of
sin
is
put
off
,
and
the
vail
is
done
away
,
and
the
representations
are
done
away
,
and
the
substance
and
salvation
is
come
,
and
if
Christ
be
not
in
you
,
you
are
reprobates
,
notwithstanding
all
your
profession
and
practises
of
outward
duties
unto
God
without
his
Spirit
.
And
whereas
thou
hast
quoted
,
Col.
3.
10.
Gal.
5.
17.
Rom
7.
23.
to
prove
that
the
new
man
,
the
spirit
or
Law
of
the
mind
,
is
called
the
imperfect
Sanctification
.
Ans.
Hereby
openly
thou
hast
shewed
thy self
to
be
a
perverter
of
the
Scriptures
and
a
wrester
of
them
to
thy
own
destruction
;
for
let
but
reasonable
men
peruse
the
Scriptures
mentioned
by
thee
,
and
see
if
there
be
such
a
thing
in
them
as
held
forth
by
thee
;
that
the
new
man
,
the
spirit
or
Law
of
the
mind
,
is
called
imperfect
Sanctification
,
which
thou
hast
asserted
,
and
cited
those
texts
to
prove
it
,
but
to
as
to
the
thing
it self
I
have
answered
before
;
onely
this
is
to
shew
,
thy
manner
of
perverting
Scriptures
;
which
is
the
work
of
the
evil
spirit
in
thee
,
and
not
the
work
of
the
Spirit
of
God
.
And
thus
I
have
examined
some
part
of
thy
principles
of
Religion
which
thou
hast
put
forth
into
the
world
,
for
others
to
learn
;
and
the
error
and
falsness
of
them
is
laid
open
,
and
how
contrary
to
the
Scriptures
they
are
,
and
in
haste
as
it
were
,
I
have
passed
over
it
,
not
willing
to
rake
into
things
which
gave
no
just
occasion
against
truth
;
but
have
onely
confuted
a
few
of
thy
many
particulars
;
which
had
I
narrowly
sought
into
other
things
,
much
unsoundness
would
have
been
discovered
;
but
what
I
have
said
is
truly
sufficient
to
discover
unto
sober
persons
,
the
error
of
thy
judgement
,
and
of
thy
principles
and
practices
,
and
of
thy
whole
Religion
;
and
before
ever
thou
be
a
true
instructor
of
others
in
the
way
,
thou
must
first
repent
and
believe
,
and
learn
the
way
thy self
,
which
yet
thou
are
ignorant
of
;
for
thou
hast
shewed
no
knowledge
but
what
is
sensual
and
devilish
,
and
from
below
,
and
meerly
carnal
,
and
natural
;
and
meeting
with
thy
book
,
and
enquiring
what
the
Author
was
,
I
was
engaged
to
say
something
to
it
by
way
of
Answer
,
and
to
lay
it
to
the
line
of
judgement
according
to
the
Scriptures
;
and
it
hath
proved
very
guilty
of
error
,
and
perverting
Scriptures
,
and
of
corrupt
principles
;
and
in
justice
I
could
not
but
condemn
it
,
and
if
thou
shall
receive
the
conviction
of
thy
error
,
and
of
thy
false
doctrines
by
my
answer
,
and
repent
,
it
shall
prove
to
thy
good
;
but
if
thou
shalt
be
stiff-necked
,
and
harden
thy
heart
,
then
shall
thy
condemnation
be
the
greater
and
thy
Judgement
the
more
just
;
because
God
hath
warned
thee
,
and
given
thee
a
day
of
visitation
,
and
shewed
thee
the
error
of
thy
wayes
and
judgement
that
thou
mightest
forsake
thy
transgressions
,
and
be
converted
and
live
;
but
whether
thou
shalt
harden
thy
heart
and
remain
in
error
,
or
repent
or
turn
from
it
;
my
reward
is
with
the
Lord
,
and
in
him
I
have
peace
in
this
matter
;
whatsoever
,
thy
mind
shall
be
towards
me
in
my
work
;
for
I
stand
not
to
mans
judgement
while
I
cannot
be
convinced
of
error
in
this
business
,
and
if
thou
shalt
envy
me
,
and
have
wrath
in
thy
heart
towards
me
,
because
I
have
dealt
to
plainly
with
thee
in
reproving
of
thee
;
then
thou
wilt
but
add
to
thy
own
sin
,
and
add
more
wrath
up
in
store
against
thy self
against
the
time
of
thy
judgement
,
and
a
greater
burden
will
lie
upon
thy
conscience
;
wherefore
consider
of
these
things
and
let
not
the
day
of
thy
visitation
passe
over
,
and
be
shut
up
with
the
night
of
darkness
,
and
thou
be
everlastingly
condemned
;
And
if
thou
shalt
vindicate
thy
own
false
principles
,
by
answering
to
me
again
;
thinking
to
clear
thy self
,
and
to
reprove
me
,
that
will
not
prove
thy
best
way
because
thou
wants
the
truth
and
righteousness
to
stand
by
thee
;
and
to
appear
bold
in
a
bad
cause
,
will
shew
more
wickedness
,
then
sign
of
repentance
;
and
if
thou
do
answer
a
sound
reply
will
further
unfold
the
misterie
of
iniquitie
that
lyes
hid
in
thee
,
and
be
thy
greater
shame
;
And
as
for
thee
and
all
the
false
Ministers
,
God
hath
discovered
you
,
and
you
are
made
bare
and
naked
,
and
the
false
woman
the
Whore
,
your
mother
,
her
shame
is
discovered
and
her
judgement
is
come
,
and
God
is
avenging
us
on
her
,
and
great
Babylon
is
now
come
into
remembrance
before
the
Lord
,
to
bring
her
down
to
the
ground
,
and
you
have
long
made
a
prey
upon
the
heritage
of
the
Lord
,
and
been
spoilers
thereof
,
rather
then
builders
of
her
breach
,
and
she
hath
been
troden
down
,
and
not
pittied
by
you
;
and
as
for
your
poor
ignorant
hearers
they
lie
in
thick
darkness
,
and
loves
to
have
it
so
;
and
the
blind
hath
led
the
blind
,
and
yet
the
light
is
arising
out
of
thick
darkness
,
and
its
appearance
shall
be
glorious
to
expell
all
your
errors
,
and
that
mist
of
darkness
that
doth
now
cover
them
,
and
this
light
shall
arise
in
mens
consciences
,
which
shall
discover
the
difference
between
every
false
,
and
the
right
way
;
and
all
that
take
heed
to
the
light
shall
no
longer
sit
in
darkness
nor
in
the
shadow
of
death
,
but
their
steps
shall
be
directed
in
a
perfect
way
;
and
the
glory
of
the
Lord
shall
shine
forth
upon
them
,
and
this
will
the
Lord
bring
to
pass
,
and
hasten
his
work
,
and
cut
it
short
in
righteousness
,
for
his
elects
sake
.
