Misrepresentations corrected, and truth vindicated. In a reply to the Rev. Mr. Solomon Williams's…

I shall now take Notice of another remarkable Instance of this, viz. That Mr. W. in his Reply to my Argument from the Epithets and Characters given by the Apostles to the Members of visible Christian Churches, in their Epistles, ⟨p. 108⟩represents (P. 56. d.) That there is no Difference in all the Epithets and Characters, which I had heaped up from the New-Testament, from those that are given in the Old-Testament, to the whole Body of the Jewish Church; which he elsewhere abundantly supposes to be the whole Body of the Jewish Nation; yea, even in their worst Times, 'till the Nation was rejected and cast off by God from being any longer his People: as I shall have Occasion particularly to observe afterwards.

That it may be the easier judged, how manifestly this is contrary to Truth, I shall here repeat some of those Epithets and Characters I before mentioned, which Mr. W. has Reference to. This is very manifest concerning most of them: but that I mayn't be tedious, I will now rehearse but a few Instances, viz. Being made free from Sin, and becoming the Servants of Righteousness: Having the Spirit of Adoption: Being the Children of God, Heirs of God, Joint-Heirs with Christ: Being Vessels of Mercy, prepared unto Glory: Being such as don't live to themselves, nor die to themselves; but live to the Lord, and die unto the Lord; and who living and dying are the Lord's: Being those that have all Things for theirs, whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the World or Life, or Death, or Things present, or Things to come; because they are Christ's: Being begotten through the Gospel: Being such as shall judge the World: Being washed, sanctified, justified in the Name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God: Being manifestly declared to be the Epistle of Christ, written not with Ink, but by the Spirit of the living God; not in Tables of Stone, but in fleshly Tables of the Heart: Being such as behold as in a Glass the Glory of the Lord, and are changed into the same Image, from Glory to Glory: Being chosen in Christ before the Foundation of the World, that they should be holy and without Blame before him in Love; and predestinated unto the Adoption of Children: Being sealed by that holy Spirit of Promise: Being quickened, tho' once dead in Trespasses and Sins: Being made meet to be Partakers of the Inheritance of the Saints in Light: Being dead, and having their Life hid with Christ in God; and being those that when Christ who is our Life shall appear, shall also appear with him in Glory; Having put off the old Man with his Deeds, and having put on
