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.

1. IF thou sayest that every man hath a measure of the Spirit of Jesus Christ within him, Why say the Scriptures; Some are sensual, having not the Spirit, Jude 19. And when Christ tells his Disciples of sending them the Spirit, he also saith, The world cannot receive it, Joh. 14.17.

2. What is the Church of God redeemed by, from the curse of the Law? Is it by something done within them, or by something that is done without them? or by something that worketh in them?1 If thou Answer, It is redeemed from the curse of the law by something that worketh in them; then I ask, Why did the man Christ Jesus hang upon the Cross on mount Calvary without the Gates of Jerusalem for the sins of the people? and why do the Scriptures say, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins; that is, through his blood, Eph. 1.7. which was shed without the Gates of Jerusalem, Heb. 13.12
