which_o i_o know_v you_o must_v yield_v to_o one_o be_v certain_o you_o must_v search_v diligent_o into_o the_o scripture_n and_o inquire_v whether_o jesus_n christ_n will_v have_v you_o oppose_v yourselves_o against_o these_o thing_n that_o be_v so_o opposite_a to_o he_o if_o upon_o a_o diligent_a search_n you_o find_v that_o he_o have_v not_o authorize_v you_o do_v not_o you_o arrogate_v any_o authority_n that_o christ_n have_v not_o give_v you_o my_o lie_n will_v never_o honour_v god_n though_o i_o shall_v tell_v it_o for_o god_n glory_n and_o your_o thrust_v yourselves_o into_o a_o office_n christ_n have_v not_o call_v you_o unto_o will_v never_o be_v accept_v by_o he_o but_o if_o second_o upon_o a_o diligent_a search_n it_o appear_v he_o have_v give_v authority_n unto_o you_o than_o i_o be_o as_o assure_v that_o he_o have_v not_o leave_v it_o to_o your_o arbitrement_n whether_o you_o will_v use_v it_o or_o no_o he_o have_v not_o leave_v it_o to_o your_o will_n whether_o you_o will_v punish_v they_o but_o if_o you_o have_v power_n to_o stop_v they_o and_o do_v not_o he_o will_v lay_v they_o all_o at_o your_o door_n and_o require_v they_o at_o your_o hand_n therefore_o search_v diligent_o what_o you_o have_v power_n to_o do_v and_o then_o let_v not_o these_o thing_n go_v on_o to_o god_n dishonour_n but_o suppose_v you_o have_v authority_n what_o then_o be_v to_o be_v do_v i_o answer_v you_o must_v not_o take_v blasphemy_n error_n and_o heresy_n to_o be_v such_o upon_o the_o report_n of_o other_o man_n but_o as_o the_o lord_n order_v they_o in_o the_o 13_o of_o deuteronomy_n 17._o so_o likewise_o must_v you_o do_v search_v diligent_o whether_o indeed_o such_o and_o such_o thing_n be_v do_v and_o when_o they_o appear_v to_o be_v do_v out_o of_o the_o zeal_n of_o god_n do_v that_o against_o they_o which_o the_o lord_n will_v have_v you_o do_v let_v not_o your_o religion_n be_v thus_o contaminate_v suffer_v not_o your_o child_n to_o who_o you_o

desire_v above_o all_o may_v stick_v with_o you_o that_o if_o the_o lord_n have_v give_v you_o power_n he_o have_v not_o give_v you_o liberty_n to_o forbear_v such_o man_n god_n in_o mercy_n make_v

18._o what_o beast_n do_v not_o tremble_v and_o every_o one_o must_v labour_v to_o pacify_v he_o when_o he_o be_v angry_a but_o you_o who_o the_o lord_n have_v place_v under_o he_o in_o such_o high_a
