An explicite declaration of the testimony of Christ: according to the plain sayings of the Gospel: and therein, of the purposes, promises, and covenants of God, as by Gospel declared. With, a consideration of a question stated about faith. By Thomas Moore, Senior.

CHAP. XIII.

Of Mr. Owens Reasons against the Faith and Holiness, that is set forth in Heb. 6.4, 5. in pag. 424, &c.

REason 1 Here is no mention of Faith,* 1.1 or beleeving, or in terms equivalent.

Answ. Hath Mr. Owen quoted and used this place, as his main place for proving, and his only place for opening a Faith and Holiness wrought by the Spirit, effecting change, and really true in its kind. And having served his turn of it, now put it to shame, and cast it by as a place where is no mention of Faith, or beleeving, or in Terms equivalent, that no other might look there, to see what true Faith is: And is not mentioning of the Foundation, the object of Faith, and the Oracles of God the teacher of Faith, the effects and Principles of Repentance from dead works, Faith towards God, Doctrin, &c? And then pre∣sently suiting the works of the Spirit to all these, mentio∣ning, enlightening, taste of the heavenly gift, partaking of the Holy Ghost, taste of the good word of God, and of the powers of the World to come: are these Terms, vers. 4, 5. no expressions or mention of faith, or beleeving, or in terms equivalent? Did the Apostle think one of these Terms equivalent (even Illumination, Heb. 10.32.) And are not all these Terms, vers. 4, 5. so expressed and suited to those, vers. 1, 2. where Faith also is named, no mention, nor Terms equivalent, to Faith or Beleeving? judge Reader.

Reas. 2 Not any thing here spoken of, as ascribed to the persons spoken of, which is peculiar to Beleevers, or that constitutes them to bee such, called according to purpose, quickened, born again, or regenerated, justified, united to Christ, sanctified by the Spirit, adopted; made the Sons of God. Bee the usuall expressions of Beleevers.

Ans. It is clear; here is as much said of these, with a∣scribing the works to the Holy Ghost, and acknowledge∣ment of the receits and tastes spoken of; while they are yet in the supposition, and not departed; as is said of any

of the Hebrews, to whom this Epistle is written. Indeed when any such are fallen away, not these things, but other things are ascribed to them; but it is the faith and spiritual operations once had, and still retained by those not departed, (and not the departure and crucifying Christ again, which is only in those fallen away) we now speak of. And that those things which are peculiar to be∣leevers, is here expresly spoken of, is shewed and proved before at large, in opening the principles taught by the Oracles, and built upon the foundation, and the inlight∣ning, and operations of the Holy Ghost, in, and with, working up, and suited to those principles expresly, that I marvel, any that know the foundation, and Oracles of God, and first principles, and Scripture language should deny it, and much more, that he that more than once hath said, that upon other inferior (and not justifi∣able) accounts they are frequently called, Beleevers and Saints. But in this he hath said, not proved. And as for the Catalogue of terms here brought in, and affirmed to be the usual expressions of beleevers, conceived to bee terms equivalent to faith, and beleeving, we may as he opposeth them to these in Heb. 6.4.5. consider,

1 That some are said to have beleeved, of whom I know not where it is also said they had faith;* 1.2 for no man is said in Scripture to have faith, unless he be obedient to the faith, so as he receive the testimony, and close with the object, and have some usefulness of it, as hath been shewn, yet many that beleeved, yea, so beleeved, that if they abode they should be saved, where beleeving is ex∣presly mentioned, yet these terms under consideration, not applicable to such. But whether these are usually called Beleevers, I need not contend, for those we treat of, are beleevers in a farther sense, as hath been shewn.

2 Here are some of these terms, affirmed to be the usual expressions of Beleevers, which as they are set down, I cannot finde at all used in the Scripture, as the expres∣sions of Beleevers, as they are in this life. As the term Regenerated, as distinct to being born again, as here set down, I read in Scripture of a Regeneration, in which

the Apostles followed Christ.* 1.3 And of saving by the wash∣ing of Regeneration, which as it flows from Christ is a continued work still in doing, and to be fully compleated in the resurrection of the just. But that the beleevers in this life, are called, The Regenerated, I finde not at all, much less usually: And so for the term Adopted, I finde, the Adoption (or ministration thereof) to have pertained to Israel under Moses ministration,* 1.4 though the Tutorage of sons, were then as servants. And I finde also the first Trusters in Christ predestinated. in their ministration, to the adoption of children by Jesus Christ: And therefore so to have preached Christ come in the flesh, That men in beleeving might receive the Adoption of Sons,* 1.5 and so a first fruits of the Spirit of Adoption. And I finde that such as did unfainedly beleeve in Christ, did receive the Spirit of Adoption into their hearts, crying, Abba Father. But this I also finde, That this Adoption is not yet com∣pleated, but only begun, and a first first fruits, and that of the Spirit onely received, and those that have this, do yet wait for the Adoption (injoying yet only by hope) even the re∣demption of the body,* 1.6 when Adoption will be com∣pleated in the resurrection of the Just. And so I finde not this said, That beleevers are compleatly adopted; Nor is the Adopted, the usual, or any expression by which be∣leevers are now called, that I finde.

3 Here are some expressions, which in the meaning of them are true of all beleevers in this life, as things truly and perfectly done, though for the measure not come to its height, and yet not as expressed, the usual expressions of beleevers,* 1.7 as united to Christ, which is a gracious work, and in some measure spiritually effected through be∣leeving in the beleevers, that being united by faith to the object of faith, the word, and so Christ in the word is in their heart, and thus by faith, love, and desires in Christ. So also tasting of the heavenly gift, &c. And so one: And yet a farther uniting prayed for; yea that they might be one in will,* 1.8 purpose, design, and way: And this union of Spirit, we are exhorted to keep, and to grow up in it, till we come to the fulness of it;* 1.9 but it is not yet fully

compleated; And so though in a sense beleevers are united to Christ, and so truly said to be, yet the compleatment is but a working, and growing towards. Beleevers are not very often, and usually set forth by this expression, The united to Christ. And the term, Made the Sons of God, is that which in a spiritual sense may be affirmed of true beleevers; for to all that receive Christ by beleeving on him, by beleeving on his name he gives the power to bee the Sons of God, and so the favour to be called his Sons; and his Sons they now are by faith (and not otherwise yet.) And shall more fully and compleatly be made the Sons of God in the resurrection of the just;* 1.10 whence though Sons of God, be often and usual expressions of be∣leevers, yet made Sons of God, is not so usual an ex∣pression, as some other.

4 Here is one expression, that is once or twice used, with some other expressions joyned with it, and explain it who they be; To express beleevers that are cordial, with the manner of their calling, and the operation of their faith, viz. The called according to purpose,* 1.11 but as a single expression, it is not so usual. And illumination is once used as a single expression to express beleevers, be∣sides. This place, Tasting that the Lord is gracious,* 1.12 may be taken as so used in another place; And what can be less in tasting of the heavenly gift, and of the good word of God, &c. Besides as illumination, tasting of the heavenly gift, &c. are works of the Spirit here mentioned,* 1.13 as suited to repentance from dead works, and faith toward God, they are expressions by which beleevers are usually set forth, so as no cause to except against them, as not so usual, &c.

5 Here are some terms in the substance of them, though not so usual, or not more usual than the terms in the Text, here by him rejected, as he expresseth them, usual terms to express Beleevers, viz. Quickned, Born again, Justified, Sanctified by the Spirit. Usual indeed;* 1.14 But minde well, Quickned is sometime used as an expression of that enlivening, wrought at first in beleevers, expressed by Yee, and Us. But the word is also used to express the efficacy

of the word in beleevers.* 1.15 And sometime the word is used for a beleever fallen into some afflicted and drooping con∣dition being raised again; sometime for strengthning to walk in the wayes of righteousness, and sometime for the resurrection of the body after death. And so although this be in some respect a right and good expression of be∣leevers, as thus sometime have been, now are, and after death in the resurrection shall fully bee; yet the expression, Heb. 6.4, 5. compared with vers. 1, 2. import the same, and are every way as suitable to express beleevers, according to their attainments in this life, both in principles and spiritual efficacies, as is at large shewn. The other expressi∣on, Born again,* 1.16 if understood, or from above, and so as explicated of water, and the Spirit, and so of God, by the word of God. A good and fit expression of beleevers oft used, yet this must be granted, That there are degrees and measures of the work of God in this work also, that is ex∣pressed by this term, For whosoever beleeveth that Jesus is the Christ,* 1.17 is born of God. And no man can say in preach∣ing Gospel, That Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost. And none are fully and compleatly born of God till the resurrection from the dead, so that for explicating the state and present frame of a beleever; The expressions used Heb. 6.1, 2, 4, 5. are every way as suitable, yea ex∣plicating that expression. And so also Justified is a good expression to set forth a Beleever. And so is Sanctified by the Spirit, but mostly used, rather to set forth, what is received in beleeving, than the beleeving it self. And the expressions in Heb. 6.1, 2, 4, 5. as much set forth beleeving, and so may as well express the beleever as either of them; So that all these expressions brought in, though they are all very good, yet the bringing them in, to discountenance and eject other expressions used in this business by the Holy Ghost also,* 1.18 is not good, but (contrary to the Com∣mandment) to enter strife about words to no profit, but the subversion of the hearers or readers; and a darkning of counsel, by multiplying words without knowledge.

For was not the laying of Christ for the foundation, the purpose, and according to the purpose of God? And

was not the lifting up Jesus in Gospel-preaching, and glo∣rifying him by Spirit to the hearts of men, that they might see, and beleeve, the purpose, and according to the pur∣pose of God? And whereas some when light comes, would yet be wise in their own eyes, and so come in to claim by a righteousness of their own, not submitting to the righte∣ousness of God, and so are not in respect of the prevalency of grace discovered, the right called ones, yet others in minding that grace discovered, are prevailed with, to let go all thoughts of confidence in their own righteous∣ness, &c. and to beleeve in Jesus, that they may live in him, and to him. Are not these the called according to purpose? And when in beleeving in Christ on this man∣ner, through illumination of the Holy Ghost, and tastes of the heavenly gift, &c. Repentance from dead works, and faith toward God is effected, &c. Are not such in some measure called according to purpose, Quickned, Born again, and spiritually regenerated, united to Christ, justified, and sanctified by the Spirit? Who that confesseth God to be true, will deny this, so that these two Reasons are vain.

Reason 3. The persons intended (here) be compared to Briars and Thorns.

Answ. The persons intended here, as having, and so abiding in these principles, upon this foundation, and so with these inlightnings, tastes of the heavenly gift, &c. Are verily the holy Brethren, partakers of the heavenly Call, even the very Hebrews to whom he wrote; the per∣sons supposed, expressed to be such, as do not abide and enjoy these things, but are departed and fallen from these things, and are now crucifying Christ afresh to themselves, they bringing forth such Briars and Thorns, are become Briars and Thorns, which before they were not, nor are any that abide in the faith they are fallen from, so called, and these fallen, upon the very account of their crucifying, &c. are compared to, and with their evil fruits, called, Briars and Thorns, this is plain in the Text, and so this Reason (though once it was mine) is very vain and false for its end, and unbeseeming understanding men, though

weaklings may bee gulled with it, as I have been.

Reason 4. Things that accompany salvation, be better things than any in the persons mentioned, were to bee found, vers. 9. We are perswaded better things of you, &c.

Answ. Here he speaks of things distinct from the per∣sons, though in them. Now minde; Better things: Better than which, for the Apostle had mentioned divers sorts of things, as he had mentioned Jesus Christ the foundation, and the Oracles of God from the foundation teaching those principles to build men thereby on Christ; Surely the love of God in the gift of his Son, The Son of God given, The blood of Jesus Christ that confirmed the Covenant, The Spirit of the Father, and the Son, that witnesseth of Christ, and calleth to him, and breatheth forth these Oracles to teach these principles, and build on Christ. Sure this,* 1.19 or these things are all holy, heavenly, rich, pre∣cious, invaluable things, not onely accompanying, but giving and working salvation (though some do tread them underfoot, &c. which is an evil thing.) So that sure hee means not better things than these. But then here is mentioned also, the effects of the word, and of the holy Spirit, in, and with the word in the hearts of belee∣vers; as Repentance from dead works, and faith towards God, &c. with Illumination, tasting of the heavenly gift, &c.* 1.20 Surely these are also precious things, not onely accompanying salvation, but even parts of the salvation begun in them, and working in them, effecting those things to be brought forth which are to accompany it (though some murmure and harden their hearts,* 1.21 and so are disobedient, and quench and despite the Spirit, which is an evil thing) and sure he meaneth not better things than these. But here are two sorts of things more men∣tioned, that is,* 1.22 first, Abiding in their faith, confidence, and love, And so hearkning to his voyce, bringing forth the fruits of faith and love, as hath been fore-shewn, according to the seed sown in the heart, and the refreshings by the rain often drunk in, and of these he expresseth himself to men, vers. 9.10. And these be not better things, then the salva∣tion

wrought in them, as by which they bring them forth; but better than the other sort, which secondly, he names, by some supposed to bring forth, that is a departing from Christ, through an evil heart of unbeleef, and so fal∣ling from all this salvation, and efficacies thereof extended; and then crucifying the Son of God afresh, and putting him to an open shame. And notwithstanding the same seed sown, and the same rain oft drunk in, yet bring forth Briars and Thorns (which accompany not salvation) of which hee mentioneth no persons among them that he cahrgeth withall, but only by a supposition sheweth the danger even to these Hebrews, if any should so do.* 1.23 And having so often warned them before, and reproved their dulness. And now in his supposition set forth before them the hainousness of the sin, and danger, of such departing and falling away, comparing such transgression and trans∣gressors, to Briars and Thorns, whose end is to be burned; he mollifies the harshness of his sentence in respect of them, and saith, We are perswaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak, which plainly shews the better things, to be better than Thorns and Briars, which tended to damnation; and it shews also that his speech in the warning given was di∣rected to them, else they needed not to have been molli∣fied with, Though we thus speak; surely none would fancy the Apostle to warn the Hebrews by speaking at such a rate as this; There is a rock of stability, on which who ever once beleeveth, and so is, can no more fall off, not sin, not Satan, not world, though at such and such a rate they listen to them, and fall into sueh and such a measure of unbeleevingness and sinning, yet they cannot fall off: And you are upon that Rock, &c. Hold fast therefore your confidence, Take heed lest any of you fall through an evil heart of unbeleef: And give us leave to fear lest any of you come short, for there is an unstable rock, on which, not you, but some others are built. And they that are built on that rock of instablility, if they abide, they perish; if they fall, they can no more rise; how fond were this. But the foundaion here mentioned is stable, nor will the holy

Spirit build any upon an unstable foundation, nor fill the heart with false light, or deceivable works; What deceit∣ful illusions such conceits may produce, I forbear to name, though this Reason be fit for them.

Reason 5. The persons intended by the Apostle, were such as had need to be taught again the first principles, &c. Unskilful in the word of righteousness, &c. distinguished from them to whom the promises are, &c. Chap. 6, 9, 10, 14.

Answ. This is a very harsh, sad, and untrue sentence, clearly appearing so; For,

1 It is as clear as the day, that Chap. 5.11, 12. he speaks to the same persons, that he wrote unto, and had before called,* 1.24 Holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly call, and to, and of them he saith, Yee are dull of hearing, for when for the time yee ought to be teachers, you have need that one teach you again, which be the first principles of the Oracles of God. Can any thing be more plain, to shew he meaneth them?

2 It is as clear, that his saying in Verses 13, 14. are the proof that the Apostle gives of the justness, and suitable∣ness of his reproof,* 1.25 in shewing what such weaklings are, to whom in their demeanor they became so like, which occasioned their dulness and non proficiency, being so like them, they should have been teachers of.

3 It is as clear, That those weaklings and babes, to whom he compares them, are not the persons put in the supposition of being fallen away, and in so great danger in height of sinfulness, and of impossibility of recovery, and soreness of punishment;* 1.26 for they had known the founda∣tion, oracles and first principles, yea been by them drawn upon the foundation, and tasted of the heavenly gift, yea the sweetness and power of Christ in all the principles; So that now after such knowledge and tastes, &c. willingly for love or desire of any other thing, to depart, and crucifie all this of Christ; to themselves again; there was nothing but they had crucified, and were crucifying to restore them with, and so they could not be restored. But for those weaklings and babes, they were not yet skilful in these things, and so could not sin at so high a rate, but might

be both profitably and hopefully, yet taught over and over, which be the first principles of the Oracles of God; and if any of them by temptation, were fallen from what they began to have, yet there was something of Christ in the foundation, oracles, principles, and efficacies of Spirit therein, which they had not clearly known, and so not crucified to themselves, neither were they crucifying Christ to themselves, and so there was that needful to them to be still taught them for their recovery. And it is uncharitable to put weaklings and babes, under this dan∣ger and impossibility of being renewed. A rash and sad saying, yea cross to his other rash saying, speaking of these beleevers mentioned, Heb. 6.4, 5. of their high gifts of knowledge, faith, change of affections and conversation, light, love, &c. saith afterward, every person under these works formerly mentioned (of this light, gifts, &c.) be ca∣pacitated for the sin, against the Holy Ghost: And now he saith, They are the ignorant, weaklings and babes that commit it, verifying that, Prov. 5.6. and 9.13.

4 Neither is there any distinguishing of these wrote to, or reproved, or of those to whom they are compared, nor yet of them put in the supposition (but when fallen away, and found crucifying of Christ, and so blotted out of the book of life) from them to whom the promises appertain, Chap. 6.9, 10-14. For the promise mentioned is that made to Abraham, which appertained so, as by at∣tending to the promise it might be attained, and enjoyed,* 1.27 by all, or any of his natural seed, that were under Cir∣cumcision in the time of it, or his proselited seed either; and so Peter preached to them, and so where the Gospel comes to all that beleeve in Christ, as interested in them, and heirs of them; and the Apostle was not here in Heb. 6.9-14. making a distinction, between those of them, to whom, and of whom he wrote (except in supposal of any fallen away, and found crucifying Christ) to whom the promises did belong, and to whom not, but shewing the hopefulness he had for them all, of whom he was per∣swaded they were not so fallen away, as to be found cru∣cifying Christ to themselves, and upon that account, ex∣horteth

every one of them, to persevere in shewing the same diligence to the full assurance of hope to the end, &c. The edge of and hope in which exhortation is abated, and a mist cast upon it, by this wresting the words.

Reason 6. True beleevers are opposed to those lying under a possibility of falling, so far as they are cast under it, by the conditional discourse upon sundry accounts.

Answ. In the whole Epistle,* 1.28 there is not one word of distinguishing the one from the other, but in the neglect of so great salvation, in hardning the heart, by deceitfulnes of sin, in departing from the living God, through an unbeleeving heart, a turning from him that speaks from heaven, &c. Nor one put in fear of this more than another, nor secured with∣out watchfulness, and heed taking one more than another; Nor doth the Apostle in Heb. 6.4.6. speak one word of the possibility, or impossibility of falling, or not falling, but only in a supposition of those already fallen, from such a height, and now crucifying Christ to themselves; nor doth he in this speak a word of any possibility of the recovery of one of these, more than of another; Nor doth he in his warning giving, apply it to one more than another; but in shewing the greatness of the sin, if any should fall from such excellency of grace, and the danger; and therein the equity of Gods proceeding; to warn them all alike, which this assertion opposeth, without the shew of warrant from any one word; but because he saith it is upon sundry accounts, I will view them.

Account 1. Their work and labour of love, mentioned vers. 9, 10.

Answ. Here is no opposition of one to another, for he had yet charged none of them to be so departed, but only reproved them, and shewed them the danger of such departure, and falling away, and now also mollifying the harshness of his reproofs, He is perswaded better things of them, than that they are departed, or so fallen, or that they will bring forth such briars and thorns,* 1.29 and he gives one reason of it, from their work and labour of love, not onely that they had shewed, for that might be affirmed of some in other places, that were fallen from grace, but also that

they did still continue in: And he desires their perse∣verance to the end, that they might receive the promises: So that he here also speaks to, and of them all, without difference making, so that a line was imperfectly here ta∣ken, to make up this account, not serving for such a bu∣siness at all.

Account 2. Their preservation from the righteousness of God.

Answ. Here is no opposition of one to another,* 1.30 but hee speaks of them all in general: And wherein had God so freely ingaged himself in his righteousness, so as if hee should not preserve men, and keep them to eternal life, he also should be unrighteous: Is not this ingagement first and primely to Jesus Christ?* 1.31 Are not all the promises in him Yea, and in him Amen? And is it not in, and through Christ to Abraham, and all the Spiritual seed,* 1.32 as many as through grace, beleeve in Christ? And do not they that beleeve in him freely receive forgiveness of sins, justifica∣tion, sanctification, and a spirit of faith and love? And how is this ingagement to keep beleevers? Is it not by his power through faith unto salvation, suitable to that ingage∣ment held forth to these Hebrews? And they now be∣leeving, the Apostle is comforted concerning them, and incourageth them with the righteousness of God: So then, All the promises of God, are Yea and Amen in Christ: And sure to them all that beleeve in Christ, That their preservation in faith and love, is from the freeness of the mercy of God, and his righteousness through Christ, to continue to them such supplies of grace and spirit, that they may persevere in faith and love: This I hope, is be∣leeved by us all, yea and something more than this, namely, That as faith worketh through love,* 1.33 so every service of love produced by it, shall to the beleever be rewarded, but then this is without opposition of one beleever to another, it is in general alike true to them all. But now suppose any after they have known the truth, and beleeved, and met with such riches and furniture, to keep them in, and preserve them, and have brought forth some fruits of love; do after this, for some dream or fancy, &c. turn aside,

and so fall away from God. Is God unrighteous then to forsake them, and to blot out all their former services, so as not one is remembred on their account? Surely not, he should not else be righteous,* 1.34 according to the tenour of his promise, and ingagement to his Son, and to men through his Son: And in this language speaks the Apostle to these Hebrews, Chap. 3, 6, 14, & 10, 35, 38, 39, & 12, 25. And that without difference making. And I hope none would think the righteousness of God ingaged to the works of men, otherwise than in and through Christ, to such as live by the faith of Christ; so as this line was wrested to a by end, to make up this Account; and yet will not serve for that purpose.

Account 3. The immutability of the Counsels of God, and his Oath, mentioned, vers. 13-18.

Answ. Here is no opposition of beleevers under a possibility of falling, to beleevers under an impossibility of falling, nor is the promise here made to some sort of beleevers, opposed to other belevers: But to Abraham for himself,* 1.35 and his seed, which is Christ, and all that through grace, beleeve in him: And this so that it may be held forth to all men, that they may beleeve. And to all that do beleeve, that abiding in the faith they may be sure of the inheritance. And such the counsels and purpose of God as hath been shewn, in treating of purposes, and promises, in which hee is immutable: And this the Apostles scope sutable to his exhortation for their dili∣gence and perseverance in faith and love, in which so sure consolation; but it sutes not at all to the scope of this Ac∣count.

Account 4. Their sure, and stedfast Anchor of hope, vers 19.

Answ. Neither is here any difference made between, or opposition of one beleever to another, but a strong consolation set before all beleevers, that have by faith laid hold on Christ, who is the seed of Abraham, in whom all the promises confirmed with an Oath, are Yea and Amen: And he having offered up the acceptable sacrifice, is now in our nature entred into the heavens,

appearing there a great high Priest, having opened the way for our approach: And ever living to intercede for all that come to God by him: So as they that by faith do lay hold on him, who is our hope and hope fixed in him, is as an Anchor surely fixed, they by faith and hope enter within the vail, cleaving to him, that is there for us, and so their hope is sure and stedfast, which comfort is not for some sort of, but for all that are indeed beleevers: And so the Apostle enters on his main design, to build these be∣leevers more and more on Christ; which evidenceth, that to be the right faith, and those true beleevers spoken of Heb. 6.1, 2, 3, 4 5. and none of them excepted, unless any have so willingly departed, that they be found crucifying Christ: And as for them, they are faulted; but the Christ, the Spirit, the Grace, the faith, they have departed from, and crucifie, is not faulted, but remaineth the same still, in which all abiding, are safe: So that this place, and all Scripture testifie the faith here set forth to be the true justifying and saving faith. And Mr. Owen confesseth it wrought by the Spirit, and really true in its kinde; And that men may abide in it, or men may fall away from it: And Scripture testifying but one kinde of faith, the con∣troversie is ended the cause is yeelded, it is not for this faith, but some by-opinion, to mantain the honour of a party, that he contendeth: And yet that it seem not so, many mixtures were put in here, that are no parts of, nor ingre∣dients in faith at all. To make this appear as not right, that so another may be set forth, and I shall consider that also.
