choice_n of_o the_o word_n alacrity_n what_o ignorance_n or_o what_o forgery_n have_v that_o be_v of_o scripture_n or_o religion_n but_o yet_o after_o all_o your_o swagger_v all_o your_o own_o

our_o own_o conscience_n so_o that_o according_a to_o your_o account_n joy_n and_o peace_n will_v be_v but_o one_o thing_n in_o two_o word_n but_o beside_o this_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o the_o

a_o privilege_n or_o a_o felicity_n of_o good_a man_n but_o no_o proper_a effect_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o sanctification_n and_o therefore_o can_v without_o plain_a violence_n to_o the_o text_n be_v

by_o gnostick_n dispute_v and_o contention_n to_o which_o purpose_n he_o recommend_v to_o they_o above_o all_o thing_n a_o peaceable_a and_o quiet_a temper_n of_o mind_n as_o a_o thing_n much_o more_o
