by_o call_v what_o i_o propose_v crooked_a consequence_n see_v if_o the_o man_n be_v not_o here_o at_o a_o nonplus_n or_o else_o how_o can_v he_o have_v the_o face_n to_o entitle_v his_o book_n a_o answer_n to_o i_o when_o he_o first_o leave_v out_o the_o first_o two_o page_n of_o my_o book_n where_o i_o show_v their_o juggle_n about_o their_o name_n quaker_n and_o that_o they_o have_v lie_v in_o say_v the_o world_n nickname_n they_o so_o and_o to_o this_o he_o say_v nothing_o but_o that_o he_o shall_v not_o contend_v whether_o the_o world_n call_v they_o true_o or_o false_o when_o they_o call_v they_o so_o again_o i_o spend_v other_o two_o page_n to_o prove_v that_o they_o do_v give_v such_o title_n to_o their_o pamphlet_n as_o they_o will_v refuse_v to_o give_v to_o the_o scripture_n and_o this_o i_o prove_v by_o their_o own_o book_n as_o the_o reader_n may_v perceive_v and_o to_o this_o he_o say_v not_o one_o word_n again_o i_o do_v print_v the_o substance_n of_o two_o conference_n where_o he_o be_v so_o miserable_o nonpluse_v that_o he_o can_v tell_v what_o to_o say_v to_o they_o but_o only_o tell_v his_o reader_n that_o i_o do_v add_v word_n that_o be_v never_o

14_o 15_o 16_o 17_o 18_o page_n of_o my_o book_n as_o any_o one_o may_v see_v that_o read_v the_o five_o page_n of_o his_o book_n and_o yet_o he_o have_v get_v such_o a_o stock_n of_o impudence_n as_o to_o call_v his_o book_n a_o answer_n to_o i_o again_o i_o propound_v twelve_o quaeres_fw-la in_o the_o 19_o 20_o 21_o page_n of_o my_o book_n and_o to_o these_o in_o stead_n of_o answer_v they_o he_o

quaeres_fw-la in_o page_n 25_o 26_o of_o my_o book_n and_o the_o sum_n of_o his_o answer_n be_v that_o they_o be_v crooked_a consequence_n see_v page_n 14_o of_o his_o book_n he_o now_o come_v to_o answer_v the_o sixteenth_o error_n i_o charge_v upon_o they_o which_o be_v that_o one_o of_o their_o scribe_n do_v ask_v a_o minister_n of_o the_o nation_n whether_o he_o have_v the_o light_n that_o do_v inlighten_v every_o one_o that_o come_v into_o the_o world_n when_o he_o have_v before_o tell_v he_o that_o every_o one_o have_v that_o light_n within_o he_o this_o i_o charge_v as_o a_o piece_n of_o inconsistency_n in_o these_o that_o will_v be_v count_v perfect_a to_o which_o he_o reply_v that_o christ_n do_v ask_v the_o disciple_n who_o they_o say_v he_o be_v and_o yet_o they_o have_v the_o light_n within_o they_o that_o reveal_v he_o to_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n but_o what_o be_v this_o to_o the_o case_n in_o hand_n the_o case_n in_o hand_n be_v not_o whether_o a_o man_n may_v ask_v a_o question_n for_o the_o further_a confirmation_n of_o a_o thing_n that_o be_v in_o question_n as_o our_o lord_n do_v his_o disciple_n in_o a_o time_n when_o there_o be_v various_a opinion_n of_o he_o but_o whether_o after_o a_o man_n have_v preach_v a_o thing_n that_o concern_v every_o man_n whether_o it_o be_v not_o very_o ridiculous_a to_o ask_v the_o same_o man_n to_o who_o he_o have_v preach_v whether_o it_o concern_v he_o where_o do_v christ_n or_o any_o wise_a man_n ask_v such_o a_o question_n again_o christ_n demand_v this_o question_n of_o they_o that_o own_v he_o what_o their_o opinion_n be_v of_o he_o but_o he_o ask_v the_o question_n of_o a_o man_n that_o disown_v the_o light_n to_o be_v in_o every_o one_o so_o that_o this_o be_v consider_v i_o demand_v whether_o christ_n ever_o ask_v a_o man_n that_o do_v disow_v he_o and_o his_o light_n whether_o his_o light_n be_v within_o they_o or_o no_o as_o this_o man_n have_v do_v for_o he_o ask_v the_o question_n of_o one_o that_o be_v a_o minister_n of_o the_o nation_n who_o they_o all_o say_v disow_v the_o light_n of_o christ_n he_o pass_v over_o the_o second_o instance_n of_o their_o inconsistency_n and_o say_v not_o a_o word_n to_o it_o i_o do_v suppose_v as_o he_o say_v at_o first_o that_o these_o be_v some_o thing_n he_o will_v not_o trouble_n himself_o with_o answer_v and_o indeed_o i_o think_v it_o will_v trouble_v he_o to_o answer_v they_o and_o therefore_o he_o cunning_o let_v they_o alone_o he_o come_v to_o say_v something_o to_o the_o three_o in_o stance_n i_o bring_v of_o their_o inconsistency_n and_o that_o be_v that_o though_o they_o pretend_v to_o own_o the_o scripture_n yet_o one_o of_o they_o say_v to_o parson_n camelford_n of_o staveley-chappel_n that_o he_o may_v as_o well_o have_v burn_v the_o scripture_n as_o his_o quaeres_fw-la he_o answer_v that_o it_o do_v not_o prove_v all_o my_o false_a accusation_n cast_v upon_o they_o etc._n etc._n to_o this_o i_o reply_v that_o i_o have_v not_o speak_v or_o write_v any_o syllable_n of_o untruth_n concern_v you_o and_o further_o it_o do_v prove_v all_o that_o i_o charge_v against_o you_o about_o the_o case_n in_o

scripture_n as_o his_o quaeres_fw-la do_v not_o this_o prove_v that_o your_o design_n be_v to_o eat_v out_o the_o honour_n of_o the_o scripture_n and_o build_v up_o the_o honour_n of_o your_o contradictious_a story_n and_o whereas_o in_o a_o parenthesis_n you_o question_v if_o there_o be_v any_o such_o that_o say_v so_o fie_o james_n do_v not_o i_o in_o p._n 29._o of_o my_o book_n cite_v

whereas_o you_o ask_v i_o what_o light_v it_o be_v i_o say_v it_o be_v the_o light_n of_o nature_n which_o teach_v they_o to_o do_v by_o nature_n the_o thing_n contain_v in_o the_o law_n and_o
