and_o that_o giles_n barnardistons_n wife_n do_v tell_v dr._n bucher_n further_o that_o the_o blasphemy_n that_o i_o hold_v she_o tremble_v to_o hear_v it_o this_o dr._n bucher_n tell_v i_o so_o i_o rest_v your_o friend_n jeffery_n bullock_n friend_n what_o you_o have_v write_v in_o contradiction_n to_o my_o word_n it_o be_v both_o romish_a and_o antichristian_a doctrine_n and_o contrary_a to_o the_o scripture_n of_o truth_n and_o form_n of_o sound_a word_n for_o it_o be_v not_o where_o write_v in_o the_o scripture_n that_o we_o shall_v be_v either_o justify_v or_o condemn_v by_o that_o christ_n which_o die_v without_o the_o gate_n of_o jerusalem_n but_o it_o be_v write_v by_o grace_n you_o be_v save_v and_o by_o grace_n you_o be_v justify_v and_o it_o be_v also_o write_v by_o the_o light_n of_o the_o world_n you_o be_v condemed_a and_o not_o by_o christ_n that_o die_v without_o the_o gate_n of_o jerusalem_n now_o that_o there_o be_v two_o christ_n it_o be_v plain_o according_a to_o the_o scripture_n for_o there_o be_v both_o the_o true_a christ_n and_o antichrist_n now_o christ_n visible_a appearance_n among_o the_o jew_n he_o be_v call_v christ_n who_o through_o the_o eternal_a spirit_n in_o offer_v up_o his_o body_n he_o end_v all_o the_o visible_a dispensation_n among_o the_o jew_n but_o it_o be_v god_n invisible_a appearance_n throughout_o all_o age_n the_o which_o bring_v unto_o the_o son_n and_o daughter_n of_o man_n salvation_n to_o their_o soul_n and_o he_o be_v call_v christ_n within_o the_o hope_n of_o glory_n and_o the_o mystery_n that_o have_v be_v hide_v from_o age_n and_o generation_n past_a now_o the_o prophet_n they_o do_v foresee_v the_o come_n of_o that_o body_n which_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n who_o be_v to_o be_v the_o end_n of_o all_o those_o bodily_a sacrifice_n by_o which_o the_o jew_n do_v expect_v remission_n of_o sin_n now_o the_o same_o god_n that_o raise_v up_o lazarus_n when_o he_o be_v dead_a and_o also_o raise_v up_o jesus_n or_o the_o body_n of_o jesus_n do_v i_o own_o to_o be_v both_o my_o god_n and_o saviour_n now_o as_o concern_v the_o law_n of_o moses_n it_o do_v not_o at_o all_o belong_v to_o the_o gentile_n but_o the_o gentile_n be_v justify_v by_o the_o law_n write_v in_o their_o heart_n and_o so_o must_v we_o or_o else_o we_o must_v be_v condemn_v for_o the_o law_n make_v nothing_o perfect_a as_o to_o the_o jew_n who_o have_v a_o command_n for_o it_o therefore_o the_o gentile_n can_v have_v no_o advantage_n by_o it_o who_o have_v no_o command_n for_o the_o observe_n of_o it_o but_o on_o the_o contrary_a they_o be_v reprove_v by_o paul_n for_o observe_v the_o jewish_a ceremony_n but_o where_o the_o dispensation_n begin_v there_o they_o also_o end_v now_o we_o do_v not_o where_o read_v of_o the_o name_n christ_n before_o that_o visible_a appearance_n come_v into_o the_o world_n but_o god_n say_v look_v unto_o i_o all_o you_o end_v of_o the_o earth_n and_o be_v save_v for_o i_o be_o be_v that_o show_v unto_o man_n his_o thought_n and_o he_o do_v not_o bid_v they_o look_v unto_o he_o that_o be_v to_o come_v and_o this_o be_v god_n who_o prepare_v a_o body_n for_o himself_o the_o which_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n by_o generation_n from_o god_n and_o as_o a_o son_n he_o be_v obedient_a to_o the_o will_n of_o his_o father_n even_o unto_o the_o death_n now_o christ_n he_o neither_o come_v of_o david_n nor_o yet_o of_o israel_n not_o according_a to_o the_o flesh_n not_o as_o to_o his_o outward_a appearance_n as_o he_o be_v a_o visible_a man_n but_o he_o come_v of_o david_n and_o israel_n both_o according_a to_o the_o spirit_n and_o this_o be_v the_o spirit_n who_o god_n have_v exalt_v both_o as_o a_o prince_n and_o a_o saviour_n first_o as_o a_o prince_n to_o manifest_v his_o power_n to_o condemn_v both_o man_n and_o woman_n because_o of_o their_o sin_n and_o rebellion_n and_o disobedience_n against_o he_o and_o second_o as_o a_o saviour_n both_o to_o redeem_v they_o and_o justify_v they_o and_o also_o to_o save_v they_o if_o they_o come_v to_o have_v their_o mind_n turn_v to_o he_o and_o to_o believe_v in_o he_o and_o obey_v he_o for_o the_o virgin_n mary_n know_v no_o visible_a but_o now_o far_o be_v it_o from_o i_o and_o curse_v be_v that_o spirit_n that_o shall_v undervalue_v the_o suffering_n death_n and_o blood_n of_o that_o holy_a just_a and_o innocent_a lamb_n of_o god_n but_o yet_o i_o do_v not_o believe_v that_o ever_o any_o be_v redeem_v from_o sin_n or_o purify_v cleanse_v purge_v sanctify_a or_o save_v by_o that_o visible_a body_n that_o die_v or_o blood_n which_o be_v shed_v without_o the_o gate_n of_o jerusalem_n now_o paul_n he_o that_o be_v the_o apostle_n of_o the_o gentile_n he_o defired_a to_o know_v no_o christ_n after_o the_o flesh_n now_o the_o jew_n in_o the_o day_n of_o christ_n flesh_n say_v that_o they_o be_v moses_n his_o disciple_n but_o as_o for_o this_o fellow_n we_o know_v not_o whence_o he_o be_v now_o in_o the_o apostle_n day_n there_o be_v certain_a pharisee_n that_o have_v believe_v who_o teach_v the_o brethren_n that_o except_o they_o be_v circumcise_v and_o keep_v the_o law_n of_o moses_n they_o can_v not_o be_v save_v act_v 15._o now_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n say_v that_o we_o must_v be_v justify_v and_o also_o save_v by_o that_o christ_n that_o die_v at_o jerusalem_n and_o so_o say_v the_o priest_n of_o england_n and_o so_o also_o say_v the_o body_n of_o the_o quaker_n and_o friend_n antichrist_n he_o strive_v to_o bring_v in_o his_o doctrine_n and_o also_o to_o be_v head_n over_o all_o those_o invisible_a appearance_n that_o come_v from_o god_n but_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n say_v that_o condemnation_n justification_n redemption_n and_o sanctification_n and_o salvation_n it_o be_v by_o god_n alone_o who_o be_v light_n and_o show_v unto_o man_n his_o thought_n now_o paul_n testimony_n be_v in_o the_o spirit_n and_o not_o in_o the_o letter_n but_o the_o pharisee_n the_o life_n of_o their_o testimony_n it_o be_v in_o the_o letter_n or_o law_n of_o moses_n who_o with_o their_o doctrine_n bewitch_v the_o church_n and_o lead_v they_o into_o error_n as_o you_o may_v read_v paul_n to_o the_o galatian_n and_o also_o to_o the_o corinthian_n how_o he_o tell_v they_o that_o satan_n be_v transform_v in_o his_o minister_n for_o the_o

of_o truth_n friend_n it_o behoove_v we_o all_o to_o look_v to_o our_o stand_n for_o antichrist_n be_v already_o come_v in_o among_o we_o and_o satan_n be_v already_o transform_v into_o a_o angel_n of_o light_n among_o some_o of_o our_o minister_n as_o certain_o as_o ever_o he_o be_v among_o the_o false_a teacher_n in_o the_o apostle_n day_n and_o if_o you_o will_v not_o believe_v what_o i_o have_v write_v than_o mind_n well_o the_o write_n of_o those_o brethren_n which_o call_v themselves_o the_o eleven_o elder_n to_o the_o church_n call_v quaker_n and_o see_v if_o they_o do_v not_o
