by_o their_o subtlety_n to_o ensnare_v they_o yet_o now_o george_n keith_n have_v give_v a_o plain_a answer_n to_o their_o question_n he_o tell_v they_o christ_n body_n be_v ascend_v into_o heaven_n

question_n so_o my_o opposer_n cease_v any_o more_o to_o object_v against_o i_o upon_o that_o head_n the_o second_o particular_a they_o charge_v against_o i_o be_v that_o in_o my_o book_n i_o have_v say_v the_o friend_n do_v pray_v to_o christ_n jesus_n and_o do_v worship_n and_o pray_v unto_o the_o mediator_n betwixt_o god_n and_o man_n the_o man_n christ_n jesus_n the_o anoint_v king_n priest_n

a_o whole_a page_n in_o print_n wherein_o also_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o our_o sin_n be_v pray_v for_o a_o thing_n many_o say_v they_o never_o hear_v in_o a_o quaker_n meeting_n to_o this_o these_o

and_o great_o censure_v i_o for_o assert_v they_o 2._o the_o second_o reason_n be_v that_o this_o account_v give_v by_o i_o here_o will_v serve_v for_o a_o apology_n and_o excuse_v to_o i_o in_o great_a part_n why_o i_o have_v in_o some_o of_o my_o former_a book_n especial_o in_o my_o controversy_n with_o some_o of_o the_o preacher_n at_o boston_n in_o new_a england_n praise_v and_o defend_v

they_o seem_v to_o i_o by_o the_o defence_n they_o make_v for_o i_o at_o these_o two_o meeting_n aforesaid_a to_o be_v not_o only_a sound_n in_o their_o judgement_n as_o touch_v these_o great_a

which_o my_o adversary_n rise_v up_o against_o charge_v it_o to_o be_v false_a as_o well_o new_a doctrine_n and_o contradict_v the_o print_a testimony_n and_o book_n of_o sound_a friend_n and_o

of_o the_o light_n within_o without_o any_o thing_n else_o to_o salvation_n and_o also_o in_o relation_n to_o the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o body_n and_o thus_o time_n after_o time_n they_o oppose_v

desire_v they_o to_o begin_v with_o the_o scripture_n and_o prove_v the_o contradiction_n of_o my_o doctrine_n first_o to_o the_o holy_a scripture_n and_o then_o it_o be_v time_n to_o consider_v these_o man_n book_n samuel_n jennings_n in_o a_o public_a meeting_n at_o philadelphia_n on_o a_o first_o day_n say_v it_o be_v not_o necessary_a to_o prove_v i_o guilty_a of_o heresy_n whereof_o
