converse_v with_o they_o and_o first_o i_o shall_v answer_v that_o common_a objection_n among_o they_o namely_o they_o say_v a_o great_a power_n of_o god_n go_v with_o they_o that_o carry_v they_o out_o against_o sin_n and_o therefore_o hence_o they_o infer_v that_o their_o way_n be_v of_o god_n wherefore_o i_o will_v first_o answer_v this_o before_o i_o enter_v upon_o the_o manifestation_n of_o their_o way_n and_o doctrine_n i_o answer_v this_o two_o way_n first_o i_o say_v greatness_n of_o power_n in_o man_n be_v no_o argument_n of_o divine_a goodness_n or_o true_a religion_n if_o their_o principle_n and_o doctrine_n be_v haetrodox_n the_o devil_n be_v say_v to_o be_v of_o great_a power_n we_o wrestle_v against_o principality_n and_o power_n eph._n 6.12_o yea_o he_o be_v say_v to_o work_v mighty_o that_o be_v with_o forcible_a and_o strong_a impulsion_n on_o the_o spirit_n of_o man_n therefore_o the_o scripture_n must_v try_v all_o such_o strong_a motion_n or_o else_o god_n know_v whither_o such_o strong_a power_n will_v lead_v a_o mighty_a power_n have_v go_v with_o the_o turk_n to_o enlarge_v both_o his_o dominion_n and_o religion_n yet_o i_o hope_v that_o be_v no_o argument_n his_o religion_n be_v of_o god_n read_v that_o word_n in_o 2_o thess_n 2_o 10.11_o it_o be_v say_v the_o lord_n shall_v send_v they_o strong_a delusion_n to_o believe_v a_o lie_n the_o reason_n he_o give_v you_o in_o the_o precede_a verse_n yet_o this_o strong_a delusion_n be_v satan_n throne_n and_o this_o make_v i_o the_o less_o to_o wonder_v at_o that_o spirit_n by_o which_o they_o be_v draw_v forth_o but_o second_o they_o say_v this_o power_n be_v of_o god_n because_o it_o lead_v they_o out_o against_o sin_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o herein_o they_o may_v be_v mistake_v for_o i_o question_v not_o but_o satan_n may_v have_v his_o throne_n in_o the_o heart_n and_o yet_o the_o outward_a carriage_n to_o man_n honest_a and_o devout_a for_o he_o have_v his_o wile_n and_o device_n 2_o cor._n 2.11_o and_o how_o far_o he_o may_v carry_v man_n out_o to_o be_v against_o the_o act_n of_o sin_n and_o yet_o sin_v the_o end_n of_o that_o intention_n the_o pharisee_n be_v a_o lively_a testimony_n thereof_o paul_n know_v this_o well_o when_o he_o foretold_v the_o devil_n shall_v transform_v himself_o into_o a_o angel_n of_o light_n 2_o cor._n 11.14_o now_o angel_n of_o light_n be_v holy_a and_o without_o sin_n which_o thing_n if_o you_o hear_v
worship_n of_o god_n but_o idolatry_n which_o opinion_n be_v a_o absolute_a point_n of_o the_o papacy_n to_o this_o very_a day_n and_o to_o believe_v or_o think_v our_o justification_n be_v by_o some_o thing_n wrought_v in_o we_o be_v that_o antichrist_n who_o name_n be_v mystery_n babylon_n the_o great_a the_o mother_n of_o harlot_n which_o john_n see_v in_o his_o vision_n rev._n 17.5_o

one_o all_o have_v hear_v of_o the_o other_o few_o believe_v because_o its_o inward_a and_o less_o dissemblable_a and_o this_o be_v that_o antichrist_n now_o among_o the_o quaker_n who_o say_v in_o
