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.

§. LXXX.

Our Rebuker, like some Captain General in the Confederates Ar∣my in Flanders, where most of them are Papists, or very sorry Protestants, is in the next place giving orders for a kind of Popish Barriere to be set about the Divine Justice, in pa. 51, though by the way, a Barriere against an Enemy, had been more like a General's Word of Command, but let it go for the Neonomian Word of Command, a Barriere about Divine Justice, his Sentence is this, I would have (I your General) a Bar, a Barriere, about the Divine Justice, that Men may not dare to represent him (or it for better sense) as a Tyrant, in making so many millions to damn them eternally, to damn them without respect had to their demerits. This is plain Armi∣nius, or worse, and such as I never suspected from my Dear Kra∣tiste, to justifie the general out cry of corrupted Natural Religion; What did God make us to damn us? How could we help our first Parents Sin? But doth not the Scripture say, In Adam all dyed (for that or) in whom all have sinned; and by the offence of one, judgment came upon all Men to condemnation, Rom. 5.? And will you now run with the Herd, and cry, God made Millions to damn them, as a Tyrant, without respect to their Demerits, because they are con∣demned in Adam? Now I see some Reason why the Rebuker said once, in the Pulpit in Pinners Hall, We did not sin Adam's Sin. But I am sure he must own that in Adam all dyed; then he must own with Augustine, In Adam all are damned: Damnati antequam nati, Dam∣ned before Born, and yet God no Tyrant, but Holy and Just, as well as Gracious and Merciful. Hath not the Potter power over the Clay, of the same lump to make a hundred Chamber-pots and but five drinking Vessels? Shall proud insolent Man teach God what Ves∣sels of Wrath prepared of old to this Condemnation, to make, Jude 4. and what Vessels of Mercy? Or whom he will to have Mercy on, and whom he will to harden? O that Men were wise, and not to set Barriers of their divising! God hath set his Barriere, and let Men stand, and adore, and tremble at that word, What if God, willing to shew his Wrath, and to make his Power known, endured with much long-suffering

the Vessels of Wrath, fitted for destruction? Is God, by sau∣cy, prophane Man, to be called a Tyrant, for shewing his Wrath on Vessels of Wrath, before of old ordained to this Condemnation, having fitted themselves, by their Sin in Adam, for this destruction? Shall we say it is without their own Demerits, when God saith, in Adam all dyed? O that Men were wise to Sobriety, and would not think to jostle God out of his Throne! Let us adore Free, Rich, Sovereign Grace, that is published in the Gospel, that whoever will may take the water of Life freely, Rev. 22.17. All in the sound of the Gospel being invited to come to Christ, and they shall find rest for their weary Souls. Those that charge God as a Tyrant, for damning Millions without respect to their Demerits, when they are lost and condemned in Adam, will not condemn a Temporal Prince, for a Tyrant, to take and sieze the Estate of a Traytor condemned, and to take it from all his Posterity ever after to the Worlds end. And shall Man be justified as no Tyrant, and God be charged so arrogantly? Let us adhere to God's Barriere, that in Adam all sin∣ned; and the Wages of that Sin is Damnation to all that have not an Interest in Christ.
