2 Quer. Whether did the Man Christ Jesus the Son of God, slain, (in respect of Gods Decree and Efficacie of his death) from the foundation of the world really and in∣deed suffer death or dissolution of soul and body, as upon the Crosse at Jerusalem, more or oftner than once.

Answ. Here in this Querie thou Diviner is found adding to the Scripture thy divinations of thy own brain, whereupon the plagues of God is to be added unto thee, and poured upon thee, for as thou sayes, the Man Christ Jesus the Lamb of God, slain (in respect of Gods Decree and efficacie of his Death) from the foundation of the world. Oh thou lyar, let all people see where there is such a Scripture that speakes as thou speakes here, but in the sight of Christ thou art seen, and in the life comprehended, and art for condemnation. The man Christ Jesus we own and witness, and the Lambs book of life, which was slain from the foundation of the world we witnesse, the Lamb of God, which takes away the sins of the world, we witnesse ac∣cording to the Scripture; praises, praises, eternal praises, be to the Lord God for ever, and thee to be the beast that makes war with the Lamb we witnesse, and thou Anti-Christ which looks at Christs death at Jerusalem alone, and cannot confesse him no otherwise but without thee, here thou art but equall with the Pope of Rome, for he confesses Christ dyed at Jerusalem as well as thou; so let all thy Congregation see what they hold up that followes thee.
