write_v on_o this_o subject_a and_o allow_v by_o the_o same_o authority_n if_o we_o shall_v confront_v this_o with_o they_o they_o will_v be_v like_o babel_n indeed_o while_o the_o same_o thing_n be_v

you_o say_v as_o we_o meet_v it_o in_o the_o truth_n and_o you_o in_o the_o spirit_n and_o power_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o can_v add_v sincere_o that_o our_o desire_n to_o seek_v and_o find_v that_o seemless_a garment_n of_o our_o lord_n you_o speak_v of_o and_o not_o only_o find_v it_o but_o that_o we_o may_v have_v it_o put_v on_o as_o in_o our_o beginning_n while_o traveller_n together_o in_o spirit_n for_o the_o true_a rest_n which_o so_o many_o have_v set_v out_o to_o find_v but_o miscarry_v but_o as_o this_o seamless_a garment_n stand_v not_o in_o identity_n of_o a_o opinion_n nor_o in_o the_o unity_n of_o those_o formallity_n of_o form_n which_o respect_v more_o the_o manner_n of_o do_v of_o a_o thing_n then_o the_o thing_n itself_o therefore_o all_o the_o builder_n that_o have_v seek_v it_o here_o have_v err_v and_o will_v still_o err_v as_o they_o thus_o seek_v it_o for_o as_o truth_n be_v contrary_a to_o error_n so_o be_v god_n way_n to_o man_n in_o this_o matter_n as_o our_o own_o appollogy_n for_o liberty_n do_v abundant_o show_v now_o if_o the_o unity_n to_o be_v seek_v for_o stand_v not_o in_o opinion_n nor_o in_o those_o formallity_n of_o form_n as_o above_o it_o can_v only_o be_v find_v in_o the_o spirit_n where_o there_o be_v a_o sincerity_n to_o god_n this_o our_o lord_n own_v when_o ever_o it_o be_v according_a to_o the_o

that_o must_v be_v either_o by_o a_o outward_a rule_n or_o by_o a_o inward_a if_o the_o first_o set_v it_o forth_o if_o the_o latter_a stay_v till_o we_o be_v convince_v or_o persuade_v this_o be_v fair_a here_o blind_a obedience_n be_v exclude_v and_o it_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v deny_v on_o this_o foot_n we_o inquire_v how_o we_o must_v know_v this_o eldership_n on_o who_o conduct_n we_o may_v
