Male audis or An answer to Mr. Coleman his Malè dicis. Wherein the repugnancy of his Erastian doctrine to the word of God, to the solemn League and Covenant, and to the ordinances of Parliament: also his contradictions, tergiversations, heterodoxies, calumnies, and perverting of testimonies, are made more apparent then formerly. Together with some animadversions upon Master Hussey his Plea for Christian magistracy: showing, that in divers of the afore mentioned particulars he hath miscarried as much, and in some particulars more then Mr Coleman. / By George Gillespie, minister at Edinburgh.

Secondly, The Question which the Reverend Brother falls upon, concerning the personal inhabitation of the Holy Ghost, will never follow from any thing which I said, more then Gods giving of his Son to us, will infer a personal inhabitation of the Son of God in us. That which I said was to this intent, That both the Son of God and the Holy Ghost are given, not as God essentially; that is, in respect of the Godhead it self, or as they are one in nature with the Father, (for so the Father that giveth, and the Holy Ghost which is given, could not be distinguished) but the Son is given as the Son proceeding from the Father; and the Holy Ghost is given as the Holy Ghost proceeding and sent from the Father and the Son; whether he be given to dwell personally in us, or by his gracious operations only, is another question, which hath nothing to do with the present argument, and therefore I will not be led out of my way.

The Eleventh Heterodoxy is this, I see an absurdity to hold that every man in authority is either Christs Vicegerent, or the Divelo Maledicis, pag. 16. Here I make this inference; Heathen and Infidel Magistrates, either they are not men in authority; or 2. They are Christs Vicegerents; or 3. They are the Devils Maledicis. If he say they are not men in authority, he shall contradict the Apostle Paul, who calls them Higher Powers,
