II. The Doctrine of Christ's Satisfaction and Justification ⟨p. 75⟩by his imputed Righteousness, are Fundamental Truths also, without which there can be no Redemption, Reconciliation, Remission, and consequently no Salvation.
This being premised, I shall now apply my self first to the Quakers, and then to others.
To W. P. and other Quakers who believe these and other Quaker damnable errors, I shall propound these four Queries, which I shall answer according to truth.
Que. 1. Do you know what you are?
1. You are strangers to Christ, (whatever your fancy be of Christ within you) and I am confident that none of you all that believe these errors, have had experience of the new birth and forming of Christs image upon your hearts, since there never is a work of regeneration and uniting the souls of any to Christ, that leaveth them in such darkness and error, as you are left and bound up in: No, had you been ever truly regenerated, you would have been humbled and emptied of your selves, you would have seen your selves lost in your selves, and your need of Christs satisfaction and imputed Righteousness, without which you would have been assured that there is no possibility Gods anger should be appeased, and your souls saved; It is not turning Quaker, that is turning from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to Christ: but on the contrary it is a turning from light to darkness, and from Christ to Satan, and what will be the issue hereof? not remission of sins and salvation, but the fastening of guilt upon you, and eternal destruction.
