run_v 48_o page_n far_o &_o bring_v something_o speak_v of_o christ_n as_o a_o contradiction_n to_o what_o he_o say_v before_o to_o which_o it_o have_v no_o relation_n but_o far_a methinks_v i_o see_v w._n r._n sport_v and_o triumph_v over_o this_o addition_n of_o i_o by_o let_v fly_n so_o many_o scripture_n instance_n to_o show_v what_o strange_a sense_n the_o take_v out_o or_o put_v in_o of_o a_o word_n or_o letter_n will_v produce_v he_o tell_v we_o of_o a_o printer_n that_o leave_v out_o not_o in_o the_o seven_o commandment_n and_o then_o it_o be_v thou_o shall_v commit_v adultery_n and_o another_o fancy_n perhaps_o of_o his_o own_o which_o have_v be_v better_o conceal_v for_o it_o look_v too_o much_o like_o profane_a drollery_n from_o 1_o cor_fw-la 15_o 51_o where_o say_v he_o take_v away_o c_o from_o change_v and_o then_o it_o be_v we_o must_v all_o be_v hang_v but_o be_v these_o instance_n to_o our_o purpose_n be_v the_o case_n all_o one_o between_o the_o scripture_n and_o those_o man_n writing_n who_o be_v alive_a to_o approve_v or_o disow_v what_o addition_n you_o make_v again_o the_o word_n &_o letter_n that_o w._n r._n substract_v from_o scripture_n be_v such_o as_o make_v the_o sense_n remain_v run_v direct_o contrary_a to_o all_o scripture_n and_o reason_n whereas_o my_o addition_n make_v the_o charge_n agree_v with_o both_o but_o three_o though_o i_o know_v we_o can_v add_v any_o word_n into_o the_o scripture_n yet_o consider_v whether_o most_o christian_n do_v not_o either_o in_o their_o doctrinal_a or_o practical_a comment_n upon_o it_o make_v addition_n when_o any_o man_n bap●izeth_v by_o virtue_n of_o the_o commission_n mat._n 28.19_o do_v he_o not_o add_v the_o word_n water_n to_o it_o when_o we_o oppose_v the_o roman_a purgatory_n press_v upon_o we_o from_o 1_o gor._n 3.13_o do_v not_o we_o add_v before_o death_n or_o some_o word_n to_o that_o purpose_n when_o one_o say_v christ_n die_v for_o all_o man_n and_o prove_v it_o from_o 1_o tim._n 2.6_o will_v not_o another_o of_o a_o contrary_a mind_n say_v the_o word_n elect_n be_v to_o be_v understand_v or_o add_v to_o make_v it_o agree_v with_o other_o scripture_n now_o this_o be_v my_o case_n &_o they_o who_o make_v these_o addition_n justify_v i_o for_o as_o these_o word_n make_v these_o text_n in_o their_o understanding_n agree_v with_o other_o more_o plain_a and_o less_o liable_a to_o exception_n so_o my_o addition_n make_v this_o charge_n more_o agreeable_a to_o other_o plain_a write_n of_o the_o quaker_n see_v then_o there_o be_v different_a sense_n put_v upon_o these_o text_n and_o other_o i_o can_v name_v w._n r._n do_v not_o considerate_o compare_v the_o quaker_n write_n to_o heathen_a oracle_n because_o in_o some_o place_n they_o may_v seem_v to_o admit_v of_o divers_a construction_n for_o he_o can_v but_o see_v what_o will_v follow_v if_o a_o argument_n shall_v be_v draw_v from_o the_o premise_n upon_o he_o the_o second_o charge_n against_o the_o quaker_n be_v that_o the_o soul_n be_v a_o part_n of_o god_n and_o of_o god_n be_v without_o begin_v and_o infinite_a here_o fay_v i_o what_o hurt_n be_v there_o in_o all_o this_o that_o be_v in_o this_o notion_n about_o the_o soul_n or_o in_o twenty_o more_o of_o the_o like_a nature_n but_o when_o i_o proceed_v to_o say_v i_o never_o hear_v the_o heathen_a be_v of_o this_o opinion_n then_o w._n r._n make_v advantage_n of_o my_o brevity_n and_o present_o fall_v to_o prove_v that_o the_o heathen_a have_v divine_a apprehension_n of_o the_o soul_n which_o i_o deny_v not_o but_o this_o be_v not_o our_o business_n w._n r._n shall_v have_v keep_v his_o eye_n upon_o the_o main_a design_n of_o this_o charge_n as_o i_o do_v which_o t._n h._n tell_v we_o verbatim_o in_o p._n 16._o of_o the_o first_o dial._n be_v to_o bring_v a_o absurdity_n upon_o the_o quaker_n for_o say_v he_o if_o this_o be_v so_o than_o their_o opinion_n must_v be_v thus_o understand_v god_n set_v up_o a_o light_n in_o himself_o which_o he_o himself_o be_v to_o obey_v and_o in_o so_o do_v he_o shall_v be_v save_v now_o to_o this_o be_v the_o substance_n of_o the_o charge_n and_o without_o this_o there_o be_v no_o hurt_n in_o it_o i_o say_v the_o heathen_a be_v not_o of_o this_o opinion_n or_o draw_v they_o any_o consequence_n from_o their_o apprehension_n of_o the_o soul_n lead_v they_o to_o any_o inward_a idolatry_n but_o rather_o on_o the_o contrary_a as_o the_o change_a the_o glory_n of_o god_n into_o image_n of_o man_n and_o beast_n rom._n 1._o so_o that_o nothing_o be_v more_o opposite_a to_o quakerism_n than_o heathenism_n vulgar_o understand_v that_o be_v all_o for_o inward_a spiritual_a worship_n and_o this_o for_o a_o outward_a gross_a idolatry_n moreover_o under_o this_o charge_n w._n r._n make_v a_o disparity_n betwixt_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n and_o spirit_n of_o god_n which_o i_o oppose_v not_o because_o it_o hurt_v not_o the_o question_n viz._n why_o may_v we_o not_o as_o well_o say_v god_n have_v give_v we_o a_o measure_n of_o himself_o as_o a_o measure_n of_o his_o spirit_n no_o faith_n he_o because_o the_o soul_n be_v a_o creature_n make_v by_o god_n immortal_a and_o can_v die_v but_o in_o so_o say_v he_o oppose_v austin_n and_o jerome_n who_o say_v that_o if_o the_o soul_n be_v seminated_a with_o the_o flesh_n or_o come_v ex_fw-la traduce_v than_o it_o shall_v die_v with_o the_o flesh_n if_o i_o shall_v tell_v he_o what_o the_o lord_n say_v ez._n 18._o the_o soul_n that_o sin_n shall_v die_v i_o know_v he_o will_v answer_v that_o soul_n there_o signify_v the_o body_n and_o why_o it_o may_v not_o so_o be_v take_v in_o isa_n 57_o i_o leave_v to_o other_o to_o judge_v for_o my_o own_o part_n though_o i_o believe_v the_o soul_n immortal_a yet_o i_o never_o see_v any_o great_a cause_n to_o anathema_n those_o that_o hold_v it_o sleep_v with_o the_o body_n so_o long_o as_o they_o firm_o believe_v it_o shall_v be_v raise_v again_o to_o partake_v of_o immortality_n for_o the_o contest_v betwixt_o we_o be_v but_o about_o a_o little_a space_n of_o time_n which_o in_o the_o grave_n signify_v nothing_o but_o indeed_o betwixt_o they_o and_o the_o roman_a catholic_n this_o contest_v be_v of_o great_a concernment_n for_o it_o utter_o overturn_v their_o profitable_a doctrine_n of_o purgatory_n therefore_o they_o have_v no_o reason_n to_o suffer_v it_o but_o why_o we_o may_v not_o bear_v with_o one_o another_o about_o that_o and_o this_o notion_n about_o the_o soul_n in_o the_o charge_n so_o long_o as_o the_o absurdity_n aforesaid_a be_v detest_v i_o know_v not_o and_o for_o all_o w._n r._n huff_v at_o my_o confidence_n in_o say_v it_o be_v strange_a we_o shall_v differ_v about_o we_o know_v not_o what_o i_o see_v no_o reason_n he_o have_v give_v to_o leave_v off_o this_o admiration_n for_o if_o he_o shall_v devote_v himself_o to_o read_v all_o that_o ever_o have_v be_v write_v about_o the_o soul_n and_o all_o its_o definition_n and_o all_o such_o quiddity_n about_o it_o as_o tota_fw-la in_o toto_fw-la and_o tota_fw-la in_o qualibet_fw-la parte_fw-la i_o dare_v affirm_v he_o will_v not_o be_v more_o able_a to_o tell_v we_o what_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n be_v than_o he_o be_v before_o therefore_o let_v he_o not_o think_v that_o i_o write_v any_o thing_n about_o the_o soul_n to_o make_v he_o much_o the_o wise_a but_o only_o in_o this_o sense_n that_o we_o may_v all_o be_v so_o wise_a as_o to_o leave_v contend_v about_o it_o and_o for_o this_o cause_n i_o shall_v take_v no_o notice_n of_o more_o question_n of_o that_o subject_a for_o i_o think_v he_o put_v they_o but_o to_o try_v whether_o i_o will_v be_v so_o foolish_a as_o to_o answer_v they_o i_o shall_v conclude_v this_o charge_n with_o tell_v w._n r._n that_o i_o write_v not_o those_o verse_n he_o jerk_n i_o for_o to_o jeer_v my_o friend_n but_o that_o by_o tell_v they_o what_o other_o say_v they_o may_v be_v wean_v from_o these_o unprofitable_a and_o dishonourable_a dispute_n who_o it_o chief_o concern_v to_o think_v on_o it_o but_o if_o i_o be_v mind_v to_o seek_v after_o a_o jeer_a spirit_n in_o his_o write_n i_o doubt_v i_o shall_v find_v a_o downright_a one_o in_o that_o pertinent_a question_n he_o so_o often_o have_v put_v to_o the_o quaker_n viz._n what_o some_o of_o those_o thing_n be_v that_o our_o
