i_o know_v not_o how_o frequent_o make_v use_n of_o it_o and_o think_v the_o conclusion_n to_o be_v good_a and_o i_o say_v in_o the_o meeting_n have_v g._n w._n be_v present_a i_o will_v have_v ask_v

because_o that_o blood_n be_v not_o in_o be_v but_o see_v i_o have_v not_o g._n w._n there_o i_o ask_v dan._n philip_n who_o be_v present_a and_o sit_v near_o where_o i_o stand_v and_o be_v one_o of_o the_o quaker_n in_o the_o unity_n whither_o that_o blood_n be_v in_o be_v he_o reply_v he_o know_v not_o whither_o i_o mean_v the_o blood_n that_o be_v without_o christ_n body_n or_o within_o it_o i_o tell_v he_o the_o blood_n that_o go_v out_o of_o his_o body_n whether_o that_o blood_n be_v in_o be_v but_o he_o give_v no_o reply_n i_o ask_v he_o again_o whether_o he_o believe_v that_o the_o blood_n that_o be_v outward_o shed_v be_v meritorious_a to_o justification_n and_o that_o true_a believer_n be_v justify_v by_o it_o he_o say_v he_o know_v not_o what_o i_o mean_v by_o the_o word_n merit_n or_o meritorious_a i_o tell_v he_o it_o be_v a_o shame_n for_o he_o to_o pretend_v to_o be_v so_o ignorant_a of_o the_o signification_n of_o the_o word_n that_o a_o ordinary_a school_n boy_n

god_n i_o ask_v again_o be_v believer_n justify_v by_o the_o merit_n of_o the_o blood_n that_o be_v outward_o shed_v he_o answer_v it_o be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o offer_n but_o i_o ask_v be_v believer_n justify_v by_o it_o he_o say_v that_o blood_n will_v justify_v none_o that_o be_v not_o sanctify_v i_o reply_v that_o be_v not_o the_o question_n nor_o be_v it_o any_o part_n of_o the_o controversy_n i_o further_o ask_v he_o what_o do_v he_o mean_v by_o the_o offer_n whether_o christ_n only_o as_o without_o we_o or_o as_o within_o we_o or_o both_o without_o and_o within_o and_o

but_o to_o this_o he_o give_v no_o positive_a answer_n and_o though_o in_o all_o his_o answer_n he_o give_v on_o this_o or_o other_o head_n he_o great_o foil_v himself_o he_o be_v as_o i_o be_o

question_n be_v that_o blood_n of_o christ_n that_o be_v outward_o shed_v in_o be_v i_o tell_v they_o i_o believe_v the_o substance_n of_o it_o be_v still_o in_o be_v for_o not_o the_o least_o atom_n of_o any_o bodily_a substance_n be_v ever_o annihilate_v but_o to_o inquire_v where_o that_o blood_n now_o be_v or_o whether_o christ_n do_v take_v it_o back_o again_o into_o his_o body_n which_o no_o

a_o create_a substance_n be_v a_o be_v or_o thing_n that_o do_v only_o depend_v on_o god_n almighty_a the_o first_o cause_n and_o be_v the_o subject_n of_o certain_a accident_n that_o do_v depend_v on_o it_o and_o can_v not_o be_v without_o it_o he_o ask_v whether_o a_o substance_n can_v be_v without_o accident_n i_o answer_v he_o it_o can_v be_v without_o accident_n of_o this_o or_o that_o
