dient Souls, according to the beft Light and Knowledge receiv'd from Him, of whatsoever Nation or different Profeffion. That all the Members of CHRIST's Church are Baptized by Him with the HOLY GHOST and Fire, thereby giving them a new Heart, and putting new Spirit within them, by which they are bora again and become new Creatures. That thefe have Communion and Fellowship together in the Eating the Flesh of the So N of MAN, and Drinking His Blood, by Faith, in receiving and partaking of the Bread of GOD, that comes down from Heaven, and Wine of the Kingdom from the immediate Hand of CHRIST, the Minifter of the Sanctuary and true Tabernacle, which the LORD hath pitched, and not Man, these fup with JESUS, and He fuppeth with them. That GOD hath appointed a Day, in the which He will Judge the World in Righteousness by JESUS CHRIST, and that then all in the Graves Thall hear His Voice, and come forth, they that have done Good, to the Refurrection of Life, and they that have done Evil, to the Refurrection of Damnation, then this Corruptible fhall put on Incorruption, this Mortal hall put on Immortality; the Body is fown a Natural Body, fhall be raised a Spiritual Body. That there is an Eternal Reft prepared for the People of GOD, the glorious Kingdom, and Inheritance of Heaven, the Joys of which infinitely furpafs all the Pleature of this World; but as for them that Live and Die Unholy and Impenitent, the Wicked and all them that forget GOD, they fhall be turned into Hell, where is Weeping and Gnashing of Teeth with Torment, and that for ever and ever. K 2 That That the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Teftament, are of Divine Authority, because Holy Men of GOD wrote them as they were moved by the HOLY GHOST; wherefore they are profitable for Doctrine, for Reproof and Inftruction it Righteoufnefs, to the end the Man of GOD may be throughly furnished unto all good Works, able to make wife to Salvation, through Faith in JESUS CHRIST, and that they are therefore the only external Rule of Faith and Manners, 'Tis meet (adds be) Men fhould have right Sentiments concerning thefe great Truths of CHRISTIANITY; Nevertheless, I must own, that the Life and Subftance of the Religion of the Holy JESUS is the Internal Knowledge of the Operations of the Holy GHOST in our Souls bringing us to a faving and fenfible Knowledge of the Son of GOD, and true Obedience and Adoration to Him, whereby we come to die to our felves, our own Affections and Wills, and to live to Him that Died for us and rofe again, to have our Affections fet on things that are above. In a Word, to do the Will of our Heavenly FATHER. -For true CHRISTIANITY is not a Bundle of bare Notions and dry Formalities, but is moft Virtuous, Powerful and Efficacious, Mortifying the corrupt Defires and Affections of our fallen Nature; and making us new Creatures, to live to GOD in Holiness and Righteoufness, , and to enjoy in this World the Gracious Comforts and Influences of His moft bleffed Prefence in Wor/bip and Enjoy that at the last we come to the Fullness of Enjoyment and Glory of the Kingdom, and World that is without End.

His Recapitulatory Conclufion, and bla- ouris T Hough the foregoing Reply, according to the Date of the Preface, was wrt three Months before the Deceafe of the Qurift; yet was the Printing thereof defer'd fome Time, till our Friends from the Queen's County (to whole Confideration in particular thofe Queries were proposed) came to Town; of whom, upon Enquiry, whether any of them had feen and confider'd Them, I received Anfwer, few had either feen or read them fince the Author owned them. Whereupon with all convenient Speed I put it to Prefs, and a confiderable Part was finished before his Death: Howbeit, had not his Works been Printed till after his Death, as is moft ufual, I fuppofe none would account a juft Vindication of our abufed Principles, either im proper or unneceflary. ر ALSO, If any Stumble at these Words in the Title, Con cluding the Works of. Boy, yet alive. They not only indicate that uncommon Tranfaction, that his Works were Printed before his Death; but vindicate the Stile of the Defendant in time to come, who pro pofed feveral Things to the Confideration of the Querift, which he must now refer and direct to fuch of his Brethren who are one with him, and approve of this Epilogue to his Works, efpecially thofe of the • Subfcribing Party, not knowing 'till after the Wri -ting of this, whether fide the Querit espoused. 2.1 - Lastly, If any of the foregoing Remarks feem un-pleafant, I would reftrict them only to fuch of 'em, whofe Rigid Principles, tend to Perfecution one Mark of Anti-Chrift; wherever it appears, and intend by them no Offence to the Judicious and Moderate, Among any, whom I truly Love and Esteem. |
