Here I desire M. Del, to separate from H.N, and give a reason of his faith to those that offend at his doctrine. 1 How is the Spirit poured on all flesh, and so is all flesh reformed? p. 19. l. 20. Is he for universal salvation of all? the Scripture speaketh not a word of the heart reformation of all, This Devil is going abroad in our times. Del speaketh like this wandering Spirit. 2 How is the inward word, which he carefully distinguisheth from the outward word, p. 18. l. 3▪ 4. differenced from the Spirit? p. 19. for the inward word, is the word made effectual by the working of the Spirit, and he saith the word (not the letter without the Spirit which is but the dead law, (saith he) and Spirit are always joined, that is the inward word, (that is) faith wrought by the Spirit as I take it, is ever joined with the Spirit; who doubts but the Spirit, is ever with the Spirit? (3) The Spirit takes all evil out of the flesh, what is that? out of the man, out of the soul and body, this is a rare expression. 4▪ How dwells the word in our flesh? pag. 18. l. 1. God the substantial word the Son of God dwells in our flesh, that is, personally in the nature of man, Joh. 1.14. why does Del speak with heretics and not explain himself? 5 How does the inward word change us into the image of Christ? p. 18. he hath not told us of the Spirit all this while p. 19. which only changeth us into the image of Christ. 6. How doth the Spirit change the flesh into its own likeness? by fl•sh, ye mean not corruption, so the scripture Rom. 7. Rom. 8. Gal. 5.17. and in many places takes the word flesh. Now the Spirit maketh not corruption, and sin spiritual, heavenly, holy, meek, good, loving, &c. then by flesh ye mean the fabric of the nature of man, soul and body. Why speaketh not Del with protestant divines and calleth it the mortification of the old man, and the vivification of the new, but he speaks with H. N. and puts us to request him for the truths sake, to expone what a God manifested in the flesh, and what a word dwelling in the flesh he acknowledgeth, for H.N. grammar rules his pen and tongue,¹
