reflection_n upon_o a_o passage_n concern_v the_o light_n within_o in_o a_o book_n entitle_v primitive_a heresy_n etc._n etc._n by_o edmund_n elys_n have_v most_o diligent_o observe_v the_o principle_n and_o practice_n of_o the_o people_n call_v quaker_n above_o thirty_o year_n i_o think_v it_o my_o duty_n to_o declare_v to_o the_o world_n that_o i_o have_v ground_n to_o believe_v that_o a_o multitude_n of_o person_n of_o that_o denomination_n do_v most_o sincere_o adhear_v to_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o christian_a religion_n i._n e._n they_o have_v a_o right_a notion_n of_o the_o divine_a essence_n and_o attribute_n they_o believe_v that_o the_o father_n be_v god_n the_o son_n be_v god_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v god_n and_o yet_o there_o be_v but_o one_o god_n they_o believe_v that_o god_n the_o son_n have_v redeem_a they_o and_o all_o mankind_n that_o it_o be_v possible_a for_o they_o at_o any_o time_n through_o christ_n enable_v they_o to_o abstain_v from_o any_o sin_n to_o which_o they_o have_v the_o strong_a temptation_n from_o the_o devil_n the_o world_n and_o the_o flesh_n that_o usual_o or_o habitual_o they_o be_v in_o such_o a_o temper_n of_o heart_n and_o mind_n that_o they_o will_v rather_o choose_v to_o lay_v down_o their_o life_n than_o be_v guilty_a of_o any_o know_a sin_n of_o commission_n or_o omission_n and_o upon_o this_o account_n i_o can_v but_o have_v a_o brotherly_a love_n or_o extraordinary_a fervent_a affection_n for_o many_o of_o they_o this_o be_v a_o truth_n to_o i_o most_o evident_a and_o unquestionable_a that_o these_o people_n call_v quaker_n deserve_v more_o favour_n than_o any_o other_o sort_v of_o dissenter_n from_o all_o person_n throughout_o the_o world_n who_o make_v their_o solemn_a vocal_a confession_n of_o the_o christian_a faith_n in_o that_o form_n of_o word_n which_o we_o call_v the_o nicene_n creed_n what_o they_o mean_v by_o the_o light_n within_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o what_o be_v employ_v in_o those_o most_o important_a word_n light_n of_o light_n that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o true_a and_o eternal_a god_n the_o son_n of_o the_o true_a and_o eternal_a god_n if_o christ_n be_v light_a essential_a as_o god_n the_o father_n be_v light_a his_o person_n or_o he_o himself_o must_v of_o necessity_n be_v in_o all_o rational_a soul_n as_o the_o fountain_n of_o light_n so_o that_o nothing_o in_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n can_v be_v true_o and_o proper_o call_v light_n but_o what_o be_v deriu●d_v from_o he_o i_o rejoice_v with_o joy_n unspeakable_a to_o find_v a_o multitude_n of_o illiterate_a person_n so_o clear_o apprehensive_a of_o my_o mean_v when_o i_o write_v or_o discourse_n of_o this_o most_o profound_a verity_n of_o which_o i_o perceive_v this_o
