make_v his_o personate_a quaker_n speak_v thus_o thou_o say_v we_o account_v the_o blood_n of_o christ_n no_o more_o than_o a_o common_a thing_n yea_o no_o more_o than_o the_o blood_n of_o a_o

and_o still_o be_v in_o this_o matter_n first_o i_o answer_v these_o be_v not_o my_o word_n which_o he_o have_v set_v down_o as_o i_o but_o word_n of_o his_o own_o patch_v up_o partly_o out_o of_o several_a query_n of_o i_o and_o partly_o out_o of_o his_o own_o conceiving_n upon_o my_o query_n as_o if_o he_o intend_v to_o make_v i_o appear_v both_o ridiculous_a and_o wicked_a at_o once_o for_o i_o no_o where_o say_v or_o affirm_v or_o do_v ever_o believe_v that_o christ_n be_v a_o spiritual_a man_n consist_v of_o flesh_n blood_n and_o bones_o which_o take_v on_o he_o the_o veil_n or_o humane_a nature_n thus_o he_o represent_v i_o as_o ridiculous_a it_o be_v true_a christ_n inward_o or_o to_o his_o inward_a be_v be_v a_o spirit_n or_o god_n bless_v for_o ever_o manifest_v in_o

my_o query_n and_o leave_v out_o that_o which_o next_o follows_z which_o may_v have_v manifest_v my_o drift_n and_o intent_n in_o they_o he_o put_v in_o a_o affirmation_n which_o be_v not_o i_o in_o
