say_v he_o there_o be_v nothing_o fear_v god_n but_o god_n nothing_o obey_v god_n but_o god_n nothing_o love_v god_n but_o god_n and_o again_o he_o affirm_v pag._n 442.443.444_o part_n second_o that_o the_o good_a man_n be_v so_o swallow_v up_o in_o god_n that_o want_v sense_n will_n desire_n he_o now_o as_o the_o word_n require_v covet_v nothing_o but_o now_o god_n in_o he_o will_n know_v desire_n

god_n only_o the_o quaker_n seem_v to_o join_v with_o the_o doctor_n in_o this_o his_o wild_a principle_n while_o at_o the_o last_o of_o their_o query_n here_o they_o seem_v to_o require_v our_o rest_n or_o not_o work_v and_o condemn_v our_o confession_n catechism_n etc._n etc._n upon_o that_o very_a ground_n because_o they_o be_v our_o work_n and_o to_o my_o sure_a experience_n i_o do_v know_v that_o this_o book_n of_o doctor_n everard_n have_v predispose_v several_a person_n and_o be_v their_o preamble_n unto_o quake_a and_o therefore_o that_o this_o treatise_n may_v be_v somewhat_o complete_a i_o resolve_v here_o to_o answer_v this_o principle_n of_o the_o doctor_n and_o to_o confute_v it_o and_o two_o or_o three_o more_o of_o his_o position_n that_o have_v some_o alliance_n with_o the_o principle_n of_o the_o quaker_n therefore_o first_o against_o the_o doctor_n foresay_a principle_n it_o be_v not_o god_n that_o believe_v in_o christ_n crucify_v accept_v and_o receive_v his_o righteousness_n for_o justification_n that_o look_v for_o salvation_n through_o his_o merit_n it_o be_v not_o god_n that_o loathe_v himself_o for_o sin_n sorrow_n for_o his_o sin_n confess_v his_o sin_n and_o deny_v himself_o etc._n etc._n and_o these_o be_v all_o work_n of_o obedience_n command_v of_o god_n and_o exercise_v in_o the_o godly_a and_o therefore_o the_o doctor_n principle_n here_o be_v most_o false_a 2_o angel_n and_o man_n be_v either_o oblige_v to_o obey_v god_n or_o not_o if_o not_o than_o they_o may_v do_v what_o they_o please_v they_o can_v sin_v and_o so_o also_o fall_v angel_n and_o reprobate_a man_n be_v all_o most_o unjust_o damn_v for_o their_o disobedience_n wherewith_o they_o can_v be_v just_o charge_v see_v as_o be_v suppose_v they_o be_v not_o oblige_v to_o obey_v if_o then_o they_o be_v oblige_v to_o obey_v god_n than_o the_o holy_a angel_n that_o stand_v obey_v god_n or_o not_o if_o they_o do_v than_o something_o obey_v god_n that_o be_v not_o god_n against_o the_o doctor_n principle_n see_v angel_n be_v not_o god_n i_o be_o sure_a if_o not_o than_o the_o holy_a angel_n that_o stand_v be_v disobedient_a to_o god_n see_v they_o be_v oblige_v to_o obey_v god_n and_o yet_o do_v it_o not_o and_o that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o angel_n that_o stand_v be_v fall_v angel_n 3_o if_o nothing_o obey_v god_n but_o god_n than_o never_o any_o of_o all_o
