christ_n be_v as_o your_o answer_n will_v do_v if_o you_o be_v ask_v but_o your_o idol_n shall_v be_v break_v and_o their_o name_n shall_v you_o be_v ashamed_a off_o as_o they_o be_v ashamed_a of_o the_o grove_n and_o the_o green_a tree_n under_o which_o they_o have_v worship_v their_o idol_n who_o god_n confound_v before_o you_o and_o then_o your_o water_n and_o wine_n and_o cake_n and_o such_o like_a thing_n which_o you_o call_v sacrament_n and_o your_o masse-house_n which_o you_o call_v church_n sign_v with_o the_o pope_n gross_a your_o predecessor_n these_o thing_n will_v but_o all_o add_v to_o your_o shame_n and_o sorrow_n therefore_o whilst_o you_o have_v time_n lay_v aside_o these_o carnal_a and_o foolish_a tradition_n and_o come_v to_o the_o light_n which_o let_v people_n see_v over_o they_o all_o to_o the_o one_o baptism_n itself_o and_o to_o the_o supper_n and_o table_n of_o the_o lord_n itself_o and_o to_o the_o church_n itself_o which_o be_v in_o god_n the_o father_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n as_o you_o may_v read_v 1_o thess_n 1.2_o and_o last_o the_o discipline_n of_o your_o church_n do_v appear_v contrary_a to_o the_o discipline_n of_o the_o true_a church_n and_o in_o this_o particular_a you_o have_v so_o far_o proceed_v already_o within_o these_o few_o year_n that_o you_o have_v thereby_o much_o manifest_v yourselves_o even_o to_o many_o who_o do_v not_o before_o see_v you_o for_o this_o many_o have_v look_v upon_o as_o a_o tail_n of_o a_o scorpion_n with_o which_o you_o have_v seek_v to_o bend_v that_o sting_n and_o venom_n which_o lodge_v in_o your_o heart_n against_o the_o true_a church_n which_o you_o can_v not_o vent_v with_o your_o tongue_n nor_o hand_n but_o this_o also_o will_v the_o lord_n cut_v off_o that_o the_o scorpion_n shall_v hurt_v no_o more_o your_o sting_n begin_v to_o decay_v and_o your_o force_n to_o fail_v you_o and_o people_n begin_v to_o walk_v safe_o in_o the_o path_n of_o peace_n and_o in_o the_o way_n of_o righteousness_n notwithstanding_o your_o tail_n or_o your_o tongue_n to_o the_o grief_n of_o your_o heart_n which_o be_v fill_v with_o mischief_n against_o the_o righteous_a in_o the_o land_n but_o the_o lord_n be_v their_o deliverer_n and_o according_a to_o the_o evil_a of_o your_o desire_n against_o the_o innocent_a even_o so_o shall_v your_o reward_n be_v now_o the_o true_a church_n they_o do_v observe_v that_o if_o any_o that_o be_v call_v a_o brother_n shall_v be_v a_o fornicator_n a_o railer_n and_o extortioner_n a_o covetous_a person_n a_o idolater_n or_o a_o drunkard_n with_o such_o a_o one_o not_o to_o eat_v now_o if_o you_o will_v observe_v this_o in_o your_o brotherhood_n you_o will_v quick_o be_v scatter_v one_o from_o another_o your_o priest_n suspend_v for_o their_o coveteousnesse_n and_o drunkenness_n and_o rail_a the_o people_n suspend_v for_o their_o fornication_n and_o idolatry_n and_o extortion_n and_o rail_a and_o fight_v and_o

to_o uphold_v your_o fellowship_n for_o if_o any_o who_o have_v be_v one_o with_o you_o in_o these_o thing_n before_o mention_v do_v come_v to_o see_v with_o the_o light_n wherewith_o christ_n have_v light_v they_o that_o these_o thing_n be_v displease_v to_o god_n and_o so_o dare_v not_o go_v on_o with_o you_o any_o long_o in_o they_o but_o declare_v against_o your_o idolatry_n your_o

way_n you_o have_v find_v out_o to_o keep_v people_n from_o believe_v in_o the_o truth_n and_o from_o depart_v from_o your_o corrupt_a and_o curse_a practice_n in_o short_a this_o be_v as_o your_o

world_n who_o light_v every_o man_n that_o come_v into_o the_o world_n they_o must_v be_v cast_v out_o of_o their_o synagogue_n mark_v out_o of_o the_o synagogue_n of_o the_o unbeliever_n and_o crucifier_n such_o as_o you_o who_o can_v nor_o will_v not_o have_v any_o fellowship_n with_o they_o that_o believe_v in_o the_o light_n that_o they_o may_v be_v make_v child_n of_o the_o light_n your_o latter_a end_n shall_v not_o be_v like_a unto_o they_o furthermore_o the_o apostle_n exhort_v the_o corinthian_n to_o deliver_v the_o incestuous_a person_n to_o satan_n for_o the_o destruction_n of_o the_o flesh_n that_o his_o soul_n may_v be_v save_v in_o the_o day_n of_o the_o lord_n but_o he_o do_v not_o intend_v the_o destruction_n of_o his_o body_n as_o you_o wicked_o do_v who_o thirst_v after_o blood_n to_o assuage_v the_o flame_n of_o your_o envy_n but_o the_o lord_n will_v quench_v that_o flame_n and_o you_o that_o desire_v blood_n you_o shall_v have_v blood_n to_o drink_v but_o the_o apostle_n fight_v not_o with_o flesh_n and_o blood_n but_o against_o spiritual_a wickedness_n and_o against_o incestion_n and_o fornication_n and_o idolatry_n but_o you_o make_v war_n against_o the_o flesh_n and_o blood_n and_o seek_v the_o destruction_n of_o the_o outward_a body_n as_o much_o as_o in_o you_o lie_v but_o those_o who_o believe_v in_o the_o light_n and_o trust_v in_o the_o lord_n the_o god_n of_o our_o salvation_n the_o power_n that_o save_v out_o of_o sin_n and_o unrighteousness_n they_o will_v he_o deliver_v out_o of_o your_o bloody_a hand_n and_o from_o your_o cruel_a tooth_n and_o from_o the_o reach_n and_o venom_n of_o your_o hurtful_a tail_n but_o it_o may_v be_v you_o will_v say_v although_o we_o have_v no_o criminal_a fact_n to_o lay_v to_o their_o charge_n who_o we_o have_v cast_v out_o of_o our_o church_n of_o who_o you_o speak_v yet_o they_o be_v heretic_n and_o it_o be_v paul_n council_n that_o one_o that_o be_v a_o heretic_n after_o the_o first_o and_o second_o admonition_n reject_v i_o answer_v if_o this_o be_v observe_v among_o you_o there_o will_v be_v none_o find_v to_o reject_v for_o all_o will_v be_v find_v to_o be_v reject_v and_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o whosoever_o come_v to_o be_v member_n of_o the_o true_a church_n do_v reject_v you_o because_o of_o your_o heresy_n in_o doctrine_n and_o corruption_n in_o conversation_n but_o after_o that_o way_n which_o you_o call_v heresy_n worship_n we_o the_o god_n of_o our_o father_n who_o wrought_v the_o holy_a scripture_n by_o inspiration_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n and_o according_a thereunto_o we_o believe_v in_o the_o true_a light_n that_o light_v every_o man_n that_o come_v into_o the_o world_n which_o our_o belief_n you_o call_v heresy_n and_o we_o believe_v that_o this_o light_n wherewith_o every_o man_n be_v enlighten_v be_v a_o sufficient_a light_n to_o lead_v all_o that_o follow_v and_o obey_v it_o to_o eternal_a life_n and_o this_o you_o call_v heresy_n and_o that_o this_o light_n be_v the_o perfect_a and_o beavenly_a gift_n of_o god_n and_o whosoever_o yield_v himself_o into_o the_o obedience_n of_o it_o shall_v thereby_o be_v translate_v from_o darkness_n and_o the_o work_v thereof_o which_o be_v sin_n and_o be_v bring_v to_o live_v righteous_o and_o holy_o in_o this_o life_n and_o this_o also_o you_o call_v heresy_n and_o many_o more_o thing_n which_o in_o the_o scripture_n be_v declare_v and_o by_o we_o believe_v and_o witness_v do_v you_o call_v heresy_n as_o may_v appear_v in_o a_o book_n late_o

sufficient_o set_v forth_o to_o every_o judicious_a reader_n against_o the_o life_n of_o the_o scripture_n and_o whosoever_o into_o it_o be_v come_v but_o your_o cainish_a spirit_n be_v see_v and_o
