be_v even_o by_o that_o spirit_n that_o rule_v in_o those_o who_o in_o the_o day_n past_o crucify_a christ_n and_o persecute_v and_o shed_v the_o blood_n of_o his_o holy_a servant_n prophet_n and_o

further_o declare_v and_o testify_v that_o we_o dear_o and_o true_o own_o the_o holy_a scripture_n before_o mention_v give_v by_o inspiration_n as_o a_o true_a and_o infallible_a testimony_n of_o

concern_v the_o lord_n faithful_a servant_n and_o martyr_n be_v a_o good_a savour_n to_o we_o and_o their_o memorial_n i●_n bless_v forever_o and_o we_o further_o declare_v and_o testify_v that_o we_o have_v no_o union_n nor_o fellowship_n with_o the_o say_v john_n pennyman_n nor_o that_o spirit_n that_o now_o rule_v in_o he_o he_o be_v depart_v from_o that_o pure_a meek_a holy_a spirit_n which_o sometime_o he_o have_v some_o knowledge_n of_o and_o that_o he_o have_v give_v just_a cause_n before_o the_o say_a action_n and_o since_o also_o of_o jealousy_n and_o fear_n that_o he_o be_v in_o

of_o folly_n and_o wickedness_n commit_v by_o he_o and_o give_v a_o full_a testimony_n of_o his_o unseigned_a repentance_n for_o the_o same_o and_o we_o also_o testify_v that_o if_o any_o person_n whatsoever_o shall_v act_n or_o speak_v any_o thing_n that_o be_v evil_a under_o pretence_n of_o a_o motion_n from_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n we_o utter_o deny_v that_o motion_n to_o be_v of_o god_n for_o the_o holy_a spirit_n of_o god_n never_o do_v nor_o never_o will_v move_v to_o that_o which_o be_v evil_a and_o all_o evil_n be_v of_o the_o devil_n and_o this_o we_o have_v though_o fit_a thus_o public_o to_o declare_v for_o the_o vindication_n of_o truth_n and_o the_o lord_n people_n who_o profess_v and_o enjoy_v it_o that_o the_o innocency_n of_o the_o upright_a may_v be_v clear_v

imaginary_a spirit_n whatsoever_o give_v forth_o the_o 10_o day_n of_o the_o month_n call_v august_n 1670._o by_o we_o who_o be_v in_o scorn_n call_v quaker_n and_o our_o design_n and_o end_v in_o give_v forth_o this_o testimony_n be_v that_o if_o possible_o the_o say_v j._n p._n may_v have_v be_v awaken_v to_o a_o sense_n of_o his_o condition_n and_o come_v to_o repent_v of_o his_o

his_o return_n to_o a_o sense_n of_o his_o condition_n have_v manifest_v himself_o to_o be_v one_o of_o those_o in_o restless_a torment_n that_o repent_v not_o neither_o give_v glory_n to_o god_n pour_v out_o his_o flood_n of_o wickedness_n against_o we_o that_o testify_v against_o he_o if_o possible_a to_o destroy_v our_o testimony_n or_o otherwise_o to_o destroy_v we_o by_o his_o lie_n slander_n and_o false_a accusation_n of_o blasphemy_n and_o rake_v up_o and_o publish_v what_o evil_a he_o can_v against_o we_o as_o by_o his_o several_a paper_n give_v out_o against_o we_o appear_v thereby_o rather_o then_o to_o answer_v our_o good_a desire_n for_o he_o to_o work_v his_o utmost_a revenge_n upon_o we_o which_o if_o his_o power_n can_v reach_v but_o as_o far_o as_o his_o envy_n and_o malice_n will_v it_o reach_v short_a of_o our_o destruction_n body_n and_o soul_n in_o all_o which_o he_o have_v make_v full_a proof_n of_o our_o say_a testimony_n against_o he_o and_o now_o on_o the_o consideration_n of_o the_o whole_a matter_n the_o many_o paper_n give_v out_o against_o we_o the_o envy_n malice_n confusion_n madness_n folly_n and_o wickedness_n therein_o manifest_v and_o the_o ground_n thereof_o for_o our_o testimony_n against_o his_o wickedness_n and_o all_o be_v weigh_v in_o the_o righteous_a balance_n we_o may_v safe_o conclude_v that_o in_o the_o eye_n of_o moderate_a unprejudiced_a person_n it_o more_o and_o more_o demonstrate_v himself_o and_o needs_o no_o answer_n of_o we_o thereunto_o but_o may_v sufficient_o serve_v for_o his_o own_o confutation_n and_o our_o vindication_n but_o yet_o for_o the_o sake_n of_o the_o simple_a and_o as_o far_o as_o possible_o lie_v on_o our_o part_n that_o all_o stumbling-block_n may_v be_v remove_v it_o seem_v good_a unto_o we_o to_o give_v a_o few_o word_n in_o answer_n to_o that_o paper_n of_o he_o in_o which_o he_o so_o envious_o charge_v blasphemy_n against_o solomon_n eccles_n g._n f._n and_o the_o

we_o judge_v such_o a_o man_n as_o j._n p._n who_o through_o the_o strength_n of_o his_o malice_n and_o envy_n or_o craziness_n of_o his_o brain_n be_v not_o fit_a for_o thing_n of_o less_o concernment_n to_o be_v a_o fit_a judge_n of_o blasphemy_n which_o be_v a_o speak_n against_o god_n and_o reproach_v of_o he_o know_o and_o malicious_o but_o to_o believe_v and_o worship_n that_o for_o a_o god_n which_o be_v no_o god_n be_v idolatry_n but_o both_o be_v judge_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n and_o we_o that_o walk_v therein_o now_o as_o to_o the_o word_n mention_v in_o

word_n can_v be_v find_v to_o be_v blasphemy_n where_o the_o mind_n and_o judgement_n be_v not_o corrupt_v and_o mark_v it_o be_v say_v of_o christ_n he_o be_v in_o the_o world_n the_o world_n be_v

yea_o less_o than_o a_o word_n for_o the_o mis-placing_a of_o a_o word_n but_o this_o spider_n nature_n will_v at_o last_o be_v catch_v in_o his_o own_o web_n to_o his_o own_o destruction_n and_o as_o to_o those_o word_n who_o john_n say_v he_o be_v not_o john_n say_v not_o that_o he_o be_v not_o g._n f._n but_o that_o he_o be_v not_o christ_n and_o both_o be_v mention_v before_o these_o word_n what_o reason_n have_v j._n pennyman_n to_o think_v that_o s._n e._n shall_v mean_v g._n f._n who_o be_v not_o mention_v in_o the_o scripture_n and_o not_o christ_n who_o be_v mention_v but_o only_o to_o show_v his_o envy_n which_o be_v sufficient_o see_v both_o against_o christ_n and_o against_o this_o prophet_n g._n f._n as_o well_o as_o against_o s._n e._n but_o it_o will_v return_v upon_o his_o own_o pate_n in_o due_a time_n and_o whereas_o he_o speak_v of_o g._n f._n own_v s._n be_v blasphemy_n in_o be_v go_v to_o sea_n with_o he_o the_o more_o shame_n to_o j._n p._n that_o he_o shall_v imagine_v to_o have_v a_o charge_n against_o 〈◊〉_d and_o let_v they_o go_v to_o sea_n before_o he_o charge_v they_o with_o it_o and_o now_o 〈◊〉_d a_o peevish_a manner_n to_o cry_v out_o against_o they_o when_o their_o back_n be_v turn_v and_o be_v not_o here_o to_o answer_v for_o themselves_o which_o be_v far_o from_o either_o christian_a or_o manly_n civil_a deal_n but_o thing_n of_o this_o kind_n have_v be_v ordinary_a with_o j._n p._n since_o he_o fall_v into_o this_o folly_n and_o madness_n and_o turn_v from_o the_o way_n of_o god_n but_o this_o we_o can_v safe_o say_v concern_v g._n f._n who_o be_v not_o here_o we_o have_v have_v long_o acquaintance_n with_o he_o that_o he_o have_v never_o seek_v any_o title_n nor_o own_a any_o but_o what_o become_v a_o servant_n and_o child_n of_o god_n and_o when_o any_o such_o title_n be_v give_v by_o some_o unto_o j._n n._n he_o bear_v his_o testimony_n faithful_o against_o it_o as_o be_v know_v to_o the_o magistrate_n of_o bristol_n who_o take_v his_o letter_n and_o testimony_n against_o the_o same_o from_o the_o say_v j._n n._n and_o company_n and_o so_o not_o judge_v the_o say_v j._n p_n reproach_n worth_a much_o answer_n but_o a_o few_o word_n in_o plainness_n and_o simplicity_n be_v we_o hope_v sufficient_a to_o satisfy_v all_o that_o desire_v satisfaction_n we_o need_v say_v no_o more_o but_o this_o we_o do_v own_o g.f._n to_o be_v a_o servant_n of_o the_o live_a god_n who_o be_v redeem_a by_o jesus_n christ_n from_o the_o world_n conversation_n and_o call_v and_o sanctify_v by_o the_o holy_a spirit_n to_o bear_v a_o testimony_n in_o this_o his_o generation_n unto_o the_o power_n of_o god_n and_o in_o and_o by_o it_o to_o turn_v many_o to_o righteousness_n and_o whoever_o he_o be_v that_o shall_v judge_v or_o say_v more_o of_o he_o or_o any_o other_o man_n than_o what_o tend_v to_o god_n glory_n and_o honour_n that_o we_o do_v deny_v for_o it_o be_v his_o honour_n we_o seek_v and_o the_o

in_o his_o restless_a imagination_n to_o obtain_v answer_n to_o all_o his_o confusion_n lest_o we_o may_v be_v think_v like_o himself_o but_o to_o all_o moderate_a unprejudiced_a person_n this_o may_v
