TRUTH TRIUMPHING OVERDO Error and Heresy. OR, A Relation of a Public Disputation at Oxford in S. Mary's Church, on Monday last, Jan. 11. 1646. between Master Cheynell a Member of the Assembly, and Master Erbury the Seeker and Socinian.  
Wherein the Socinian Tenants maintained by Master Erbury are laid down, and Master Cheynels clear Confutation of them, to the joy and satisfaction of many hundreds there present, is declared.  
1 Joh. 7.9, 10. For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an Anrichrist.  
Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God: he that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, hath both the Father and the Son.

Truth triumphing OVERDO ERROR AND HERESY.  
GOod Reader, divers Letters of godly Ministers and Citizens of Oxford, ear and eye-witnesses, written from thence, coming to my hand, of a public Conference and Disputation in Saint Maries, the University-Church, between Master Cheynell a Member of the Assembly, and Master Erbury a great Sectary, on Monday the eleventh of January, 1646. I thought it good for thy benefit, to publish the sum and substance of them, that thou mayst see how God hath left the Independents and Sectaries (this man being within these few years a famous Independent) and to what a height they advance, both for damnable Errors, and of confidence to maintain openly in one of the Universities, in the most public place, before many hundreds, such damnable Heresies, and that in the time of a Parliament sitting, and to the faces of such Ministers as were sent down by them to prepare the way for the Reformation of that University. Master Cheynell being challenged by some of Master Erbury's followers to meet him at Saint Maries on Monday, Jan. 11. could do no less (for many Reasons) then come; where Master Erbury maintained these Ten following Positions.  
I. That all the fullness of the Godhead, the same fullness of the Godhead which is in Christ, dwells in the Saints in the same measure, though not in the same manifestation as it doth in Christ; and that the Godhead shall be manifested in the same manner and measure in the Saints, as it is in Christ.  
II. The Saints have a more glorious power than Christ, Joh. 14.12. and do greater works than ever Christ did.  
III. The manifestation of God the Father in our flesh, is God the Son.  
FOUR The holy Ghost is the power of God, or rather the coming forth of this power.  
V The Father is the Godhead.  
VI The Prophets spoke more clearly of Christ then the Apostles; only the Prophets did not understand what they delivered.  
VII. John the Divine spoke clearly, but the Book was sealed, which contained the mystery of Christ, and no man could open it; yet Master Erbury presumed to tell us what was in it: but it did appear that his Revelation was not from heaven, but Poland; that he took the Scriptures in the same sense, and cited them in the same order as they were taken and cited in Volkelius, and the Socinian Chatechisme.  
VIII. God the Father is God of himself the true God, greater than all, Highest of all.  
IX. The Saints have the same Worship, Honour and Glory given to them that is given unto Jesus Christ: Ergo The Saints are the only Preachers. God speaks only in them, because God dwells only in them.  
X. That when Christ came to take flesh of the Virgin, he did not take the Humane nature. He dreams that Christ was man before the world was; and so, though he came to be made of a woman, he came not to be made man, but to be made Flesh.  
The contrary truths were maintained, explained, and clearly proved by Master Cheynell against him, and that before a great Audience. The Dispute continued at least four hours; Master Cheynell had general approbation: and the truth was readily embraced with shouting and acclamations, for which let God have all the glory. 'Tis hoped the Honourable Houses of Parliament will not suffer a man to draw away the people, as he hath done (under the specious name of Saints and sanctity, and with strange mysterious Expositions of Scripture) already very many, especially women; but will proceed effectually against him, and make him an example to all other Sectaries, both for his damnable errors, and unparallelled boldness, in so open a manner and place maintaining them.
