A vindication of the book called, Some Gospel-truths opened; according to the Scriptures, and the opposition made against it by Edward Borough, a professed Quaker, (but proved an enemy to the truth) examined and confuted by the word of God. And also, the things that were then laid down, and declared to the world by me, are a second-time born witness to, according to truth: with the answer of Edward Borough to the queries then laid down in my book reproved. And also, a plain answer to his queries, given in simplicity of soul; and is now also presented to the world, or who else may read, or hear them; to the end (if God will) that truth may be discovered thereby. / by John Bunyan ...A vindication of the book called, Some Gospel-truths opened; according to the Scriptures, and the opposition made against it by Edward Borrough, a professed Quaker, (but proved an enemie to the truth) examined and confuted by the word of God.

And now, that thy answer is false, I shall clearly prove. First; because thou deniest, that redemption was wrought out for sinners by the man Christ Jesus on the Cross, or tree, on mount Calvary; when the Scripture saith plainly, ⟨p. 36⟩that when he did hang on the tree,1 then did he bear all our sins there, in his own body.

And secondly, in thy saying it is redeemed by Christ within, by being within; when the work of the Spirit of Christ in believers, is to make known to the soul by dwelling within; which way and how they were redeemed by the man Christ Jesus on the Cross. And this I prove farther, because, when thou art forced to answer to these words. Why did the man Christ Jesus hang on the Cross on mount Calvary, for the sins of his Children?
