that_o the_o poor_a confuse_a man_n run_v on_o so_o sensles_o and_o rave_v against_o it_o and_o yet_o have_v no_o ground_n or_o understanding_n in_o he_o at_o all_o so_o that_o i_o lament_v his_o great_a want_n of_o apprehension_n and_o must_v have_v a_o great_a sumpathy_n or_o fellow-feeling_n with_o he_o and_o do_v wish_v from_o my_o heart_n that_o god_n will_v once_o open_v his_o heart_n that_o he_o may_v first_o see_v and_o understand_v ere_o he_o judge_v 7._o for_o the_o poor_a blind_a man_n reject_v many_o a_o thing_n in_o my_o book_n and_o set_v even_o such_o a_o thing_n in_o the_o place_n thereof_o as_o my_o meaning_n be_v in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o it_o which_o make_v i_o wonder_v how_o he_o be_v such_o a_o zealous_a saul_n and_o be_v zealous_a for_o the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o yet_o have_v no_o apprehension_n of_o it_o at_o all_o in_o the_o light_n of_o god_n i_o wish_v hearty_o that_o the_o light_n to_o saul_n at_o damascus_n may_v shine_v round_o about_o he_o that_o he_o may_v become_v a_o paul_n see_v he_o be_v so_o zealous_a then_o may_v his_o zeal_n be_v profitable_a towards_o the_o further_a the_o salvation_n of_o man._n 8._o but_o so_o long_o as_o he_o be_v in_o such_o a_o way_n as_o to_o blaspheme_v reproach_n and_o persecute_v and_o so_o to_o rage_v in_o blindness_n as_o saul_n do_v he_o will_v effect_v nothing_o but_o only_o rave_v against_o god_n to_o his_o great_a condemnation_n and_o will_v but_o confound_v those_o who_o he_o think_v to_o teach_v and_o lead_v they_o deep_o into_o darkness_n 9_o for_o he_o have_v conceive_v such_o a_o opinion_n in_o his_o reason_n which_o it_o be_v much_o better_o he_o have_v never_o set_v it_o down_o in_o paper_n also_o i_o be_o very_o much_o afraid_a that_o satan_n have_v cast_v his_o own_o self-reason_n without_o divine_a light_n into_o such_o a_o prison_n and_o captivate_v he_o with_o such_o a_o snare_n out_o of_o which_o it_o will_v be_v hard_a to_o break_v forth_o and_o without_o the_o divine_a light_n can_v at_o all_o be_v do_v 10._o but_o now_o see_v it_o be_v apparent_a that_o not_o only_o he_o but_o other_o also_o be_v encumber_a and_o perplex_a with_o the_o purpose_n or_o predestination_n and_o election_n of_o god_n and_o do_v thus_o represent_v the_o omnipotence_n of_o god_n after_o such_o a_o manner_n wherein_o they_o go_v on_o in_o ignorance_n very_o confuse_o and_o understand_v nothing_o of_o god_n will_n to_o good_a and_o evil_a much_o less_o do_v they_o know_v what_o god_n be_v from_o whence_o horrible_a opinion_n be_v conclude_v of_o and_o yet_o this_o man_n in_o such_o confuse_a reason_n so_o shameless_o intend_v to_o disgrace_v and_o suppress_v my_o write_n which_o yet_o have_v a_o far_o deep_a ground_n than_o he_o ever_o understand_v therefore_o it_o shall_v be_v a_o little_a signify_v to_o he_o to_o try_v whether_o he_o or_o another_o will_v thereby_o become_v see_v in_o god_n 11._o not_o with_o intent_n to_o contemn_v but_o to_o instruct_v out_o of_o my_o talon_n which_o be_v give_v to_o i_o of_o god_n for_o man_n know_v very_o well_o that_o i_o be_o no_o doctor_n from_o the_o school_n of_o this_o world_n if_o it_o be_v not_o give_v to_o i_o i_o shall_v not_o understand_v it_o 12._o and_o though_o i_o do_v not_o so_o high_o seek_v yet_o it_o have_v be_v give_v to_o i_o without_o my_o knowledge_n i_o seek_v only_o the_o fountain_n of_o christ_n and_o understand_v nothing_o of_o the_o mystery_n what_o that_o be_v but_o now_o it_o be_v also_o afford_v i_o as_o a_o favour_n to_o see_v the_o substance_n of_o all_o substance_n in_o which_o without_o the_o light_n of_o god_n i_o shall_v indeed_o be_v blind_a 13._o but_o see_v the_o man_n with_o his_o pamphlet_n annex_v so_o my_o write_n understand_v nothing_o at_o all_o of_o the_o mystery_n of_o the_o substance_n of_o all_o substance_n much_o less_o the_o principle_n to_o the_o c●nter_v in_o the_o principle_n and_o yet_o undertake_v to_o reprove_v my_o write_n also_o with_o a_o strange_a understanding_n quite_o contrary_a to_o my_o sense_n or_o meaning_n and_o pervert_v my_o sense_n or_o thought_n into_o a_o strange_a and_o very_a foolish_a understanding_n only_o to_o bring_v forth_o his_o conceit_n under_o such_o a_o semblance_n which_o neither_o consist_v with_o the_o ground_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n nor_o with_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n therefore_o i_o be_o as_o it_o be_v necessitate_v to_o wash_v the_o dirt_n from_o my_o sense_n and_o apprehension_n 14._o see_v he_o begin_v so_o artificial_o and_o drag_v the_o scripture_n by_o the_o hair_n of_o the_o head_n to_o it_o that_o it_o must_v serve_v he_o as_o he_o will_v have_v it_o let_v the_o ground_n and_o cornerstone_n be_v where_o it_o will_v whether_o there_o be_v such_o a_o understanding_n in_o the_o allege_a term_n or_o text_n or_o no_o only_o that_o he_o may_v bring_v scripture_n and_o letter_n and_o exchange_v word_n with_o word_n and_o thereby_o cloak_n his_o erroneous_a meaning_n with_o such_o a_o semblance_n so_o he_o do_v but_o bring_v scripture_n for_o it_o and_o though_o many_o time_n in_o my_o write_n i_o handle_v not_o just_a that_o very_a matter_n that_o he_o will_v answer_v with_o scripture_n but_o bring_v clean_o another_o mean_v and_o that_o he_o pervert_v my_o sense_n to_o the_o quite_o contrary_a and_o thereby_o will_v make_v it_o suspect_v therefore_o i_o will_v a_o little_a summary_o and_o brief_o answer_v he_o to_o his_o asperse_v objection_n not_o in_o that_o manner_n as_o to_o contend_v with_o he_o but_o for_o those_o to_o consider_v of_o that_o read_v my_o write_n 15._o for_o a_o true_a christian_a have_v no_o contention_n with_o any_o man_n about_o religion_n he_o that_o contend_v about_o word_n and_o despise_v his_o brother_n be_v blind_a and_o 2._o have_v not_o the_o faith_n 16._o for_o faith_n be_v not_o a_o historical_a conceit_n but_o a_o right_a life_n the_o spirit_n of_o god_n must_v be_v generate_v in_o the_o centre_n through_o the_o principle_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o spring_v up_o in_o the_o mystery_n of_o the_o mind_n and_o therein_o rule_n and_o shine_v it_o must_v be_v man_n will_n and_o deed_n yes_o it_o must_v be_v his_o inward_a life_n and_o understanding_n and_o man_n must_v be_v resign_v into_o if_o else_o there_o be_v no_o right_a faith_n or_o divine_a understanding_n in_o a_o man_n but_o only_a fable_n and_o babel_n contention_n and_o clamour_n to_o tear_v and_o rend_v about_o the_o husk_n and_o not_o enjoy_v the_o kernel_n 17._o therefore_o i_o say_v now_o be_v god_n spirit_n in_o my_o scorner_n why_o then_o be_v he_o a_o scorner_n and_o contend_v have_v he_o the_o faith_n why_o then_o do_v he_o despise_v christ_n child_n and_o member_n who_o christianity_n be_v earnest_a and_o sincere_a christ_n say_v 35._o love_v one_o another_o thereby_o man_n shall_v know_v that_o you_o be_v my_o disciple_n also_o 12._o do_v you_o not_o judge_v those_o that_o be_v within_o god_n will_v judge_v those_o that_o be_v without_o be_v he_o in_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n why_o then_o do_v he_o despise_v the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n or_o be_v christ_n become_v at_o odds_o with_o himself_o 18._o o_o dear_a sir_n and_o brethren_n take_v it_o into_o consideration_n and_o look_v upon_o the_o holy_a scripture_n right_o in_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n and_o then_o you_o will_v find_v that_o a_o right_n true_a christian_a have_v contention_n with_o no_o man_n for_o 20._o his_o conversation_n be_v in_o heaven_n as_o saint_n paul_n say_v from_o whence_o he_o continual_o expect_v the_o saviour_n christ_n that_o 2._o god_n kingdom_n in_o he_o may_v come_v and_o god_n will_v in_o he_o be_v do_v 10._o christ_n be_v come_v to_o seek_v and_o to_o save_v that_o which_o be_v lose_v what_o shall_v then_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o convert_v man_n will_n otherwise_o a_o admonition_n also_o what_o the_o first_o principle_n or_o the_o dark_a world_n be_v and_o how_o the_o fire_n be_v not_o the_o first_o principle_n 19_o dear_a sir_n and_o brethren_n i_o tell_v you_o in_o good_a will_n and_o faithfulness_n as_o i_o have_v obtain_v grace_n in_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n note_n that_o a_o divine_a spirit_n dwell_v in_o no_o contemn_v and_o scorn_v derision_n or_o disgrace_n but_o go_v out_o from_o that_o and_o tread_v the_o contention_n in_o the_o mind_n underfoot_o account_v it_o as_o dung._n 20._o and_o seek_v the_o life_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n with_o earnestness_n when_o you_o get_v that_o you_o need_v no_o other_o master_n to_o teach_v you_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n will_v well_o teach_v you_o lead_v you_o and_o drive_v you_o yea_o he_o will_v teach_v within_o you_o for_o it_o be_v write_v 34._o they_o shall_v all_o be_v teach_v of_o god_n
