Christ exalted and Dr. Crisp vindicated in several points called antinomian, being cleared from neonomian suggestions alledged, by some remarks on Mr. A-, his rebuke to Mr. Lob shewing from Scripture and most orthodox authors the invalidity of his rebuke in taxing the doctor to be apocryphal, and his doctrine antinomian : with some observations on the Bishop of Worcester's letter concerning the great point of the change of persons between Christ and believers ... : with a table to find the heads insisted on / done by a happy, tho' unworthy branch of the said doctor.

§. CV.

But whaffling Whelps is a trifle to some Expressions which the Re∣buker's Genius taxes his Antagonists with; the remembring him of which, I hope, may work some Shame in him, for whom his Friends are greatly ashamed. I tremble to think whither his Passion had transported him when he wrote this Passage, in Pa. 25, Some of

the biggest Name from the Press and Pulpit had disseminated such hor∣rid Opinions, as filled all Intelligent Persons with equal Astonishment and Indignation. O the Rage of Corrupt Nature against Free Grace (say I)! Here my Dear Kratiste leaves Dr. Crisp as a petty Antino∣mian, and falls very foul on two of the biggest Names in our cogni∣zance, for strenuous asserting the Doctrine of the Free Grace of God in the Gospel, Mr. Cole and Mr. Mather, now with their dear Lord Jesus, and calls their Sermons and Books, such Things as filled (yea, brimful they filled) the Intelligent with Astonishment and Admira∣tion at their horrid Opinions. In his Fury and Wrath in this Storm and Tempest, he had a good steddy pair of Ballances that did not pendulate an Hairs breadth, there was an equal (an exact equality to a grain of) Astonishment and Indignation. And we have Proof what the latter was, his Indignation, in that he vents himself some∣what like him that Solomon speaks of, who casts out Fire-brands, Ar∣rows and Death, Prov. 25.18. and it is to be feared we shall find him triumphing in their seasonable Deaths. O! how unlike is this to the blessed meek Jesus, or to him the Apostle speaks of, viz. The Servant of the Lord should be gentle? So we see how he leaves this great Point, to be a good Husband of his Time and Paper, and fastens on that wherein he had an opportunity to magnifie a Juvenile Talent of Serene Wit, in bringing out his Molossi and whaffling Whelps, and crying, Stoo Dogs, stoo; which I would call, Ludere cum Sanctis, a jesting with Holy Things, but for Reverence to so celebrated a Divine as my Dear Kratiste: Yet, I hope, I may say without Offence, yea for his future Caution and Advantage, That such Language better becomes a Terrae Filius in the Schools, than Kratiste the Aged Divine; or a Merry Andrew on the Stage, than one that was sometimes valued for his Melius Inquirendum.
