to_o traduce_v his_o adversary_n desire_v that_o he_o and_o those_o to_o who_o he_o direct_v his_o book_n may_v have_v a_o sight_n of_o this_o if_o peradventure_o it_o may_v be_v in_o instrumental_a to_o remove_v from_o they_o all_o prejudice_n that_o they_o may_v receive_v the_o naked_a truth_n as_o it_o be_v in_o jesus_n friendly_a reader_n i_o have_v late_o receive_v in_o manuscript_n a_o small_a book_n which_o in_o the_o fear_n of_o the_o lord_n i_o have_v read_v over_o and_o serious_o ponder_v which_o i_o be_v the_o more_o induce_v to_o because_o i_o have_v some_o ground_n to_o suspect_v if_o not_o to_o conclude_v that_o it_o be_v write_v by_o lord_n say_v who_o have_v be_v famous_a for_o the_o profession_n that_o he_o have_v make_v of_o christianity_n and_o therefore_o i_o shall_v admire_v 29.14_o isa_n 29.14_o but_o that_o i_o know_v the_o pleasure_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v to_o confound_v the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o wise_a and_o bring_v to_o nothing_o the_o understanding_n of_o the_o prudent_a from_o who_o he_o hide_v that_o which_o he_o reveal_v to_o babe_n that_o no_o flesh_n may_v glory_v in_o his_o sight_n i_o say_v but_o that_o i_o know_v and_o do_v consider_v these_o thing_n i_o shall_v admire_v that_o he_o who_o have_v read_v the_o scripture_n 11.25_o mat._n 11.25_o and_o so_o long_o profess_v christ_n who_o say_v that_o man_n will_v say_v all_o manner_n of_o evil_n of_o his_o bless_a and_o peculiar_a people_n shall_v be_v so_o far_o degenerate_v both_o from_o christian_a charity_n and_o true_a nobility_n 5.10_o ch._n 5.10_o as_o to_o harbour_v so_o many_o evil_a thought_n and_o groundless_a jealousy_n of_o a_o innocent_a harmless_a people_n and_o my_o soul_n mourn_v that_o he_o be_v so_o far_o give_v up_o to_o believe_v lie_n and_o report_v such_o palpable_a untruth_n against_o we_o among_o which_o i_o shall_v only_o instance_n these_o few_o as_o none_o of_o the_o least_o viz_o that_o george_n fox_n desire_v a_o gentlewoman_n to_o wear_v a_o bracelet_n for_o his_o sake_n and_o thereby_o enchant_v she_o to_o follow_v he_o from_o which_o george_n fox_n have_v approve_v himself_o innocent_a as_o a_o child_n and_o so_o shall_v i_o ever_o look_v upon_o he_o till_o the_o spreader_n of_o that_o slander_n bring_v forth_o their_o author_n that_o james_n nailor_n make_v himself_o or_o say_v of_o himself_o that_o he_o be_v christ_n be_v another_o lie_n though_o it_o be_v true_a that_o some_o foolish_a woman_n which_o both_o he_o and_o we_o reprove_v say_v so_o of_o he_o and_o it_o have_v often_o be_v prove_v and_o print_v to_o the_o shame_n of_o the_o first_o raiser_n of_o that_o slander_n that_o he_o never_o say_v of_o himself_o that_o he_o be_v as_o holy_a just_a and_o good_a as_o god_n therefore_o till_o the_o contrary_n be_v make_v manifest_a by_o some_o know_a author_n we_o must_v conclude_v that_o another_o lie_n a_o four_o be_v that_o jesuit_n and_o priest_n be_v know_v to_o mingle_v themselves_o among_o we_o and_o be_v our_o teacher_n and_o instructer_n which_o thing_n i_o know_v to_o be_v false_a and_o the_o grievous_a suffering_n of_o divers_a of_o my_o dear_a friend_n for_o testify_v against_o their_o bloody_a persecute_v principle_n and_o idolatrous_a worship_n may_v sufficient_o evince_v that_o we_o mingle_v not_o with_o they_o nor_o they_o with_o we_o and_o my_o heart_n desire_v be_v that_o english_a man_n may_v beware_v lest_o while_o they_o look_v for_o jesuit_n and_o popish_a priest_n among_o we_o they_o be_v not_o lead_v by_o they_o themselves_o into_o such_o snare_n as_o they_o can_v easy_o break_v and_o till_o the_o party_n be_v name_v which_o see_v one_o of_o our_o friend_n go_v with_o a_o rope_n about_o his_o middle_n to_o hang_v a_o minister_n i_o shall_v conclude_v that_o another_o lie_n because_o i_o know_v it_o be_v contrary_a to_o our_o very_a nature_n and_o principle_n who_o be_v bear_v from_o above_o which_o be_v to_o save_v man_n life_n and_o not_o to_o destroy_v as_o also_o all_o whoredom_n and_o uncleanness_n be_v a_o abomination_n to_o we_o therefore_o do_v we_o both_o warn_v and_o testify_v against_o the_o practiser_n of_o it_o which_o be_v sufficient_a to_o demonstrate_v that_o he_o who_o solicit_v to_o filthiness_n and_o she_o who_o say_v she_o be_v command_v of_o the_o father_n to_o go_v to_o bed_n to_o a_o man_n be_v none_o of_o her_o husband_n if_o any_o such_o there_o be_v be_v not_o of_o we_o therefore_o do_v i_o conclude_v those_o report_n slanderous_a divers_a other_o hard_a speech_n and_o groundless_a suggestion_n i_o find_v which_o i_o shall_v not_o particularize_v be_v satisfy_v they_o be_v not_o ground_v upon_o any_o just_a cause_n give_v by_o we_o either_o in_o doctrine_n or_o practice_n also_o hope_v that_o the_o author_n may_v be_v sensible_a say_v this_o time_n wherein_o truth_n be_v rise_v above_o slander_n that_o he_o have_v overshoot_v himself_o in_o write_v such_o grievous_a thing_n against_o we_o who_o i_o be_o persuade_v he_o do_v not_o sully_v know_v and_o therefore_o i_o can_v wonder_v if_o he_o do_v persecute_v which_o yet_o i_o will_v not_o positive_o affirm_v though_o i_o do_v certain_o know_v that_o his_o principle_n lead_v to_o it_o which_o say_v that_o a_o blasphemer_n may_v just_o be_v put_v to_o death_n in_o gospel_n time_n though_o christ_n jesus_n who_o be_v far_o more_o excellent_a than_o moses_n give_v no_o such_o command_n but_o rather_o hold_v forth_o the_o contrary_a in_o the_o whole_a course_n of_o his_o doctrine_n and_o practice_n 13._o read_v

their_o person_n or_o spoil_v their_o good_n for_o thing_n do_v in_o obedience_n to_o the_o light_n of_o christ_n in_o their_o conscience_n though_o contrary_a to_o his_o judgement_n that_o will_v be_v find_v in_o god_n day_n persecute_v their_o person_n under_o the_o pretence_n of_o persect_v the_o devil_n and_o their_o sin_n which_o narrow_a cover_v the_o most_o bloody_a persecutor_n ever_o have_v but_o howsoever_o 20.10_o jer._n 20.10_o this_o i_o say_v and_o do_v desire_n that_o he_o may_v know_v it_o if_o he_o be_v yet_o alive_a that_o he_o be_v at_o least_o guilty_a of_o their_o
