of_o caution_n and_o that_o first_o that_o every_o one_o will_v compare_v what_o i_o have_v write_v with_o holy_a scripture_n and_o then_o judge_v whether_o i_o have_v say_v any_o thing_n of_o these_o man_n that_o be_v either_o harsh_a or_o unsavoury_a save_o what_o the_o harshness_n and_o unsavouriness_n of_o their_o opinion_n and_o practice_n call_v for_o and_o then_o i_o hope_v none_o will_v think_v amiss_o of_o i_o for_o call_v they_o liar_n deceiver_n blasphemer_n etc._n etc._n if_o they_o shall_v sinde_v that_o i_o have_v prove_v they_o such_o both_o by_o scripture_n and_o reason_n and_o their_o own_o say_n and_o write_n i_o do_v confess_v that_o it_o be_v very_o common_a among_o man_n to_o call_v those_o that_o differ_v from_o they_o in_o opinion_n liar_n and_o deceiver_n etc._n etc._n though_o they_o be_v not_o able_a to_o prove_v they_o so_o but_o though_o this_o be_v a_o evil_a to_o call_v that_o a_o error_n or_o blasphemy_n that_o one_o can_v prove_v to_o be_v so_o yet_o this_o do_v not_o hinder_v but_o that_o i_o may_v lawful_o call_v that_o a_o error_n and_o blasphemy_n which_o the_o scripture_n call_v so_o in_o expresness_n of_o term_n as_o for_o instance_n the_o scripture_n say_v he_o that_o deni_v christ_n come_v in_o the_o flesh_n be_v antichrist_n now_o though_o i_o may_v not_o call_v a_o man_n antichristian_a that_o differ_v from_o i_o in_o some_o circumstance_n and_o disputable_a point_n of_o doctrine_n yet_o he_o that_o shall_v say_v he_o be_v equal_a with_o christ_n or_o that_o shall_v say_v of_o himself_o that_o he_o be_v the_o christ_n the_o comforter_n the_o way_n the_o truth_n and_o the_o life_n and_o the_o eternal_a judge_n of_o the_o world_n as_o these_o man_n have_v say_v of_o themselves_o sure_o such_o man_n may_v be_v call_v deceiver_n liar_n and_o blasphemer_n without_o break_v the_o law_n of_o love_n and_o charity_n but_o if_o it_o shall_v be_v doubt_v whether_o the_o thing_n i_o charge_v they_o with_o be_v true_a or_o no_o let_v i_o tell_v thou_o that_o all_o that_o i_o have_v write_v concern_v they_o be_v either_o such_o thing_n as_o have_v fall_v from_o their_o own_o mouth_n before_o hundred_o of_o witness_n or_o else_o such_o thing_n as_o have_v be_v faithful_o collect_v out_o of_o their_o own_o write_n and_o therefore_o let_v i_o caution_n thou_o whoever_o thou_o be_v to_o read_v their_o book_n especial_o those_o place_n to_o which_o i_o have_v refer_v thou_o before_o thou_o judge_v i_o have_v wrong_v they_o this_o i_o be_o sure_a thou_o must_v do_v before_o thou_o can_v judge_v righteous_a judgement_n in_o the_o case_n and_o if_o thou_o do_v but_o take_v pain_n to_o inform_v thyself_o thou_o will_v find_v that_o the_o erorr_v i_o charge_v they_o with_o be_v either_o such_o as_o themselves_o be_v former_o charge_v with_o can_v not_o deny_v as_o appear_v by_o their_o print_a answer_n to_o they_o or_o else_o they_o be_v such_o as_o they_o have_v in_o word_n at_o length_n positive_o affert_v as_o will_v be_v find_v among_o their_o write_n in_o the_o book_n and_o page_n i_o have_v cite_v i_o confess_v many_o thing_n have_v be_v report_v to_o i_o concern_v the_o evil_a manner_n of_o some_o of_o the_o teacher_n of_o this_o way_n and_o of_o the_o badness_n of_o their_o life_n and_o though_o doubtless_o this_o have_v not_o be_v without_o ground_n yet_o i_o do_v forbear_v to_o mention_v any_o thing_n of_o that_o kind_n first_o because_o the_o miscarriage_n of_o some_o particular_a person_n do_v not_o prove_v the_o whole_a to_o be_v guilty_a unless_o it_o be_v in_o matter_n of_o doctrine_n which_o they_o all_o receive_v and_o own_o and_o second_o because_o the_o error_n of_o man_n life_n and_o conversation_n do_v not_o infallible_o prove_v the_o error_n of_o their_o doctrine_n inasmuch_o as_o some_o man_n do_v walk_v contrary_a to_o what_o they_o make_v profession_n of_o yet_o let_v i_o tell_v thou_o one_o thing_n by_o the_o way_n viz._n that_o though_o error_n in_o life_n do_v not_o prove_v error_n in_o judgement_n yet_o error_n in_o conversation_n do_v prove_v error_n in_o conversation_n my_o meaning_n be_v if_o the_o question_n be_v about_o error_n in_o doctrine_n than_o the_o goodness_n or_o badness_n of_o the_o life_n of_o they_o that_o profess_v it_o do_v no_o way_n resolve_v the_o question_n certain_o though_o it_o may_v probable_o but_o if_o the_o question_n be_v about_o perfection_n in_o life_n which_o these_o quaker_n say_v they_o have_v attain_v to_o then_o let_v i_o tell_v thou_o that_o any_o error_n in_o the_o life_n of_o such_o prove_v infallible_o that_o they_o be_v not_o such_o as_o they_o profess_v to_o be_v viz._n perfect_a man_n my_o last_o reason_n why_o i_o do_v not_o insist_v upon_o the_o particular_a evil_n that_o relate_v to_o the_o conversation_n of_o these_o man_n be_v because_o i_o know_v that_o the_o proof_n thereof_o be_v not_o so_o easy_a for_o the_o reader_n to_o attain_v because_o possible_o many_o of_o they_o may_v live_v hundred_o of_o mile_n from_o the_o place_n where_o this_o may_v come_v and_o also_o because_o that_o they_o will_v not_o believe_v any_o thing_n that_o be_v witness_v against_o any_o of_o their_o way_n but_o shuttle_n it_o off_o with_o say_v that_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n be_v evil_o speak_v of_o and_o persecute_v etc._n etc._n but_o let_v i_o tell_v thou_o reader_n whoever_o thou_o be_v that_o this_o be_v a_o vain_a plea_n for_o what_o though_o christ_n and_o his_o servant_n shall_v be_v evil_o speak_v of_o without_o cause_n yet_o this_o prove_v not_o that_o therefore_o every_o one_o that_o be_v evil-spoken_a of_o be_v christ_n servant_n for_o thousand_o there_o be_v that_o give_v just_a cause_n to_o be_v evilspoke_v of_o daily_a and_o may_v not_o these_o man_n excuse_v themselves_o by_o say_v christ_n be_v evil-spoken_a of_o and_o do_v not_o the_o papist_n priest_n many_o of_o they_o at_o this_o day_n excuse_v their_o wicked_a and_o beastly_a practice_n with_o many_o of_o their_o nun_n who_o have_v vow_v chastity_n by_o say_v that_o christ_n be_v evil-spoken_a of_o and_o so_o be_v they_o for_o be_v his_o servant_n when_o indeed_o there_o be_v cause_n enough_o to_o speak_v evil_a of_o they_o though_o there_o be_v no_o cause_n to_o speak_v evil_a of_o christ_n in_o like_a manner_n do_v these_o quaker_n shuttle_n off_o all_o evil_n that_o be_v object_v against_o any_o of_o they_o by_o say_v they_o be_v belie_v and_o suffer_v false_o therefore_o to_o prevent_v any_o thing_n of_o this_o kind_n i_o charge_v they_o with_o nothing_o but_o what_o be_v either_o daily_o preach_v among_o they_o or_o else_o what_o may_v be_v find_v in_o their_o print_a book_n i_o have_v one_o caution_n more_o that_o i_o shall_v give_v to_o my_o antagonist_n if_o any_o of_o they_o shall_v undertake_v to_o write_v any_o thing_n in_o answer_n hereunto_o and_o that_o be_v that_o they_o lie_v aside_o all_o such_o un-man-like_a reason_n wherewith_o many_o of_o their_o book_n be_v stuff_v in_o tell_v their_o adversary_n they_o be_v sot_n and_o fool_n and_o blind_a and_o that_o they_o be_v of_o the_o devil_n and_o in_o darkness_n and_o speak_v the_o first_o wisdom_n from_o beneath_n and_o that_o they_o be_v liar_n etc._n etc._n till_o they_o have_v first_o prove_v what_o have_v be_v write_v to_o be_v false_a and_o remember_v how_o foolish_a a_o thing_n it_o be_v count_v to_o say_v bellarmine_n lie_v before_o he_o be_v prove_v a_o liar_n and_o therefore_o let_v what_o i_o have_v speak_v be_v answer_v with_o word_n of_o truth_n and_o soberness_n and_o if_o by_o the_o word_n of_o truth_n it_o shall_v be_v make_v manifest_a that_o i_o have_v speak_v any_o untruth_n i_o shall_v with_o the_o like_a readiness_n of_o mind_n make_v a_o public_a acknowledgement_n of_o it_o to_o the_o world_n and_o i_o will_v also_o entreat_v that_o there_o may_v be_v no_o carp_n about_o word_n thereby_o to_o avoid_v the_o force_n of_o any_o argument_n or_o

on_o which_o side_n the_o truth_n lie_v as_o i_o question_v not_o but_o they_o will_v easy_o do_v thus_o have_v discharge_v my_o conscience_n towards_o god_n in_o the_o publish_n these_o line_n out_o
