judgement_n either_o to_o acquit_v or_o condemn_v by_o the_o law_n so_o be_v it_o with_o i_o first_o god_n have_v give_v i_o a_o commission_n to_o be_v chief_a judge_n 2._o he_o have_v give_v i_o the_o book_n of_o the_o law_n 3._o he_o have_v give_v i_o to_o know_v the_o law_n 4._o according_a to_o the_o know_a law_n i_o do_v give_v sentence_n and_o judgement_n of_o blessing_n or_o curse_v to_o eternity_n 1._o that_o i_o have_v a_o commission_n from_o god_n to_o be_v chief_a judge_n that_o i_o have_v prove_v before_o if_o it_o can_v be_v believe_v i_o can_v help_v that_o 2._o that_o god_n have_v give_v the_o book_n of_o the_o law_n which_o be_v the_o scripture_n into_o my_o hand_n be_v as_o certain_o true_a also_o for_o the_o scripture_n be_v give_v into_o my_o hand_n as_o the_o priest_n office_n be_v give_v unto_o the_o hand_n of_o aaron_n yet_o every_o man_n that_o read_v the_o scripture_n do_v think_v to_o find_v eternal_a life_n in_o they_o as_o christ_n say_v to_o the_o jew_n and_o as_o you_o quaker_n and_o other_o do_v now_o a_o day_n but_o think_v will_v not_o serve_v turn_n for_o all_o most_o all_o the_o world_n have_v no_o other_o assurance_n of_o eternal_a life_n but_o think_v but_o it_o be_v knowledge_n and_o faith_n in_o the_o true_a god_n that_o give_v certain_a assurance_n of_o eternal_a life_n which_o i_o know_v no_o quaker_n have_v or_o can_v have_v in_o that_o estate_n and_o principle_n which_o they_o hold_v for_o they_o deny_v that_o flesh_n and_o bone_n of_o christ_n which_o suffer_v death_n to_o be_v now_o live_v above_o the_o star_n in_o that_o heaven_n but_o i_o have_v open_v that_o more_o large_a in_o those_o letter_n to_o the_o quaker_n 3._o god_n have_v give_v i_o to_o know_v the_o law_n that_o be_v to_o know_v the_o book_n of_o the_o scripture_n and_o that_o he_o have_v give_v i_o more_o knowledge_n in_o the_o scripture_n than_o all_o the_o man_n in_o the_o world_n at_o this_o day_n this_o i_o know_v to_o be_v truth_n and_o some_o other_o can_v witness_v it_o neither_o can_v any_o man_n interpret_v the_o scripture_n true_o but_o myself_o and_o those_o that_o have_v it_o from_o i_o because_o no_o man_n do_v know_v the_o true_a foundation_n which_o the_o book_n of_o the_o scripture_n do_v stand_v upon_o namely_o the_o true_a god_n and_o the_o right_a devil_n 4._o and_o according_a to_o the_o know_a law_n of_o the_o scripture_n i_o do_v give_v sentence_n and_o judgement_n of_o blessing_n and_o curse_v to_o eternity_n thus_o far_o i_o do_v proceed_v like_a unto_o the_o judge_n of_o the_o land_n but_o now_o as_o for_o juries_n and_o witness_n and_o accuser_n the_o judge_n of_o the_o civil_a law_n and_o i_o shall_v differ_v something_o but_o not_o much_o because_o jury_n and_o judge_n be_v so_o bind_v together_o by_o the_o civil_a law_n of_o the_o land_n that_o one_o in_o many_o case_n can_v do_v nothing_o without_o the_o other_o so_o that_o many_o time_n there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o hurt_n do_v as_o well_o as_o good_a because_o the_o power_n lie_v in_o they_o both_o for_o many_o time_n when_o judge_n will_v do_v right_o according_a to_o law_n yet_o the_o jury_n do_v prevent_v he_o and_o so_o ty_v his_o hand_n likewise_o sometime_o the_o jury_n be_v willing_a to_o show_v mercy_n and_o do_v right_a and_o the_o judge_n will_v not_o have_v some_o prejudice_n against_o that_o party_n and_o do_v overpower_v the_o jury_n with_o his_o authority_n and_o knowledge_n in_o the_o law_n so_o that_o judgement_n be_v turn_v backward_o sometime_o because_o the_o law_n lie_v between_o two_o the_o judge_n and_o the_o jury_n which_o if_o it_o do_v lie_v always_o in_o one_o than_o there_o will_v be_v always_o either_o true_a justice_n do_v or_o injustice_n always_o do_v these_o thing_n some_o can_v experience_n which_o have_v be_v accustom_v to_o the_o law_n 2._o the_o judge_n of_o the_o civil_a law_n can_v do_v nothing_o except_o there_o be_v witness_n or_o accuser_n face_n to_o face_n the_o cause_n of_o that_o be_v because_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n be_v ground_v upon_o reason_n and_o the_o judge_n of_o the_o land_n be_v the_o interpreter_n of_o the_o law_n of_o reason_n so_o that_o reason_n kingdom_n be_v in_o this_o visible_a world_n it_o must_v proceed_v in_o the_o way_n of_o reason_n by_o the_o law_n of_o reason_n which_o be_v the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n for_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n can_v lay_v hold_n of_o nothing_o but_o what_o be_v a_o visible_a breach_n of_o the_o law_n therefore_o the_o judge_n must_v have_v a_o visible_a witness_n or_o accuser_n face_n to_o face_n else_o be_v can_v give_v no_o judgement_n upon_o the_o matter_n yet_o there_o be_v some_o case_n in_o law_n that_o man_n be_v sue_v at_o the_o law_n and_o condemn_v by_o the_o law_n at_o a_o distance_n the_o party_n sue_v not_o be_v face_n to_o face_n nor_o know_v of_o it_o until_o that_o he_o be_v condemn_v this_o some_o can_v experience_n yet_o this_o i_o say_v the_o jude_n of_o the_o land_n do_v go_v the_o best_a way_n in_o have_v jury_n and_o witness_n that_o reason_n can_v find_v out_o and_o for_o my_o part_n i_o do_v approve_v of_o their_o way_n very_o well_o but_o who_o god_n do_v make_v judge_n they_o must_v go_v a_o near_a way_n to_o work_v for_o you_o may_v read_v that_o those_o judge_n which_o god_n do_v ordain_v in_o spiritual_a matter_n they_o do_v not_o call_v for_o juries_n and_o witness_n as_o the_o judge_n of_o the_o land_n do_v what_o jury_n do_v moses_n call_v for_o to_o plague_v the_o people_n of_o israel_n for_o their_o idolatry_n and_o what_o jury_n do_v elijah_n call_v for_o when_o he_o call_v for_o fire_n from_o heaven_n to_o destroy_v those_o two_o captain_n and_o their_o fifty_n what_o jury_n do_v elisha_n call_v for_o when_o he_o curse_v those_o forty_o two_o child_n and_o cause_v they_o to_o be_v slay_v by_o two_o she-bears_a what_o jury_n do_v peter_n call_v for_o when_o he_o strike_v annanias_n and_o saphirah_n his_o wife_n dead_a with_o a_o word_n speak_v with_o many_o more_o thing_n which_o the_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n which_o be_v judge_n of_o spiritual_a matter_n have_v do_v without_o any_o juries_n or_o witness_n and_o yet_o they_o have_v go_v by_o as_o certain_a a_o rule_n as_o the_o judge_n of_o the_o land_n do_v when_o they_o give_v judgement_n according_a to_o law_n so_o that_o i_o do_v know_v how_o to_o proceed_v in_o judgement_n according_a to_o the_o tenor_n of_o my_o commission_n as_o the_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n do_v in_o they_o and_o as_o the_o judge_n of_o the_o land_n do_v in_o their_o commission_n of_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n but_o to_o give_v little_o further_a satisfaction_n to_o the_o reader_n i_o shall_v show_v why_o i_o do_v condemn_v man_n and_o woman_n at_o a_o distance_n and_o yet_o something_o agreeable_a to_o the_o way_n of_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n first_o those_o that_o be_v condemn_v by_o i_o at_o a_o distance_n there_o be_v some_o of_o this_o faith_n that_o have_v hear_v they_o speak_v wicked_a speech_n against_o i_o and_o the_o doctrine_n declare_v by_o this_o commission_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o have_v give_v i_o intelligence_n of_o it_o and_o so_o upon_o their_o witness_v the_o same_o i_o have_v send_v the_o sentence_n unto_o they_o so_o that_o if_o the_o witness_n that_o inform_v i_o do_v not_o witness_v truth_n than_o that_o sentence_n which_o i_o have_v pass_v upon_o they_o shall_v be_v of_o no_o value_n which_o be_v better_a judgement_n in_o some_o kind_n than_o the_o judge_n of_o the_o land_n do_v give_v for_o if_o witness_n be_v false_a and_o swear_v false_o the_o judge_n of_o the_o land_n do_v many_o time_n condemn_v the_o innocent_a mere_o through_o false_a witness_n therefore_o in_o that_o regard_n my_o judgement_n and_o sentence_n be_v more_o certain_a than_o the_o judge_n of_o the_o civil_a law_n be_v in_o regard_n i_o never_o condemn_v the_o innocent_a through_o false_a witness_n for_o i_o seldom_o or_o never_o do_v send_v the_o sentence_n to_o any_o though_o their_o wicked_a speech_n be_v witness_v unto_o i_o by_o one_o that_o be_v not_o in_o this_o faith_n though_o they_o may_v speak_v truth_n in_o that_o thing_n as_o well_o as_o other_o that_o be_v of_o the_o same_o faith_n with_o i_o 2._o i_o never_o do_v pass_v sentence_n on_o any_o at_o a_o distance_n except_o i_o have_v some_o write_n from_o their_o own_o hand_n as_o i_o have_v have_v from_o you_o quaker_n and_o your_o handwriting_n be_v as_o good_a a_o jury_n and_o witness_n to_o i_o as_o the_o judge_n of_o the_o land_n can_v have_v for_o what_o jury_n or_o witness_n can_v be_v require_v more_o than_o a_o man_n own_o

say_v that_o i_o do_v condemn_v and_o give_v judgement_n at_o my_o will_n and_o pleasure_n contrary_a to_o truth_n and_o he_o further_o say_v that_o i_o do_v not_o go_v in_o so_o do_v by_o so_o certain_a a_o rule_n as_o the_o judge_n of_o the_o land_n do_v second_o he_o say_v that_o i_o go_v not_o by_o so_o certain_a a_o rule_n when_o i_o pass_v the_o sentence_n of_o death_n and_o damnation_n upon_o the_o soul_n and_o body_n of_o man_n as_o the_o judge_n of_o the_o land_n do_v for_o which_o purpose_n he_o do_v quote_v judge_n cook_n upon_o the_o confirmation_n of_o the_o charter_n of_o the_o liberty_n of_o england_n who_o say_v this_o cause_n be_v worthy_a to_o be_v write_v in_o letter_n of_o gold_n now_o what_o that_o clause_n be_v will_v be_v too_o tedious_a to_o write_v but_o the_o sum_n of_o all_o be_v that_o the_o judge_n of_o the_o land_n have_v certain_a outward_a know_a law_n as_o a_o rule_n of_o direction_n to_o guide_v and_o lead_v they_o to_o judgement_n when_o they_o give_v it_o according_a to_o law_n but_o say_v he_o thou_o lodowick_n have_v no_o certain_a outward_a know_a law_n either_o of_o god_n or_o the_o land_n as_o rule_v of_o direction_n and_o so_o forth_o likewise_o he_o quote_v many_o place_n of_o scripture_n and_o some_o out_o of_o the_o civil_a law_n some_o out_o of_o edw._n three_o and_o cook_n inst_z and_o with_o

that_o the_o proverb_n of_o solomon_n be_v as_o good_a scripture_n to_o the_o quaker_n as_o any_o and_o how_o well_o the_o quaker_n know_v the_o scripture_n i_o be_o never_o a_o whit_n deceive_v in_o they_o people_n for_o they_o seem_v to_o have_v the_o great_a light_n but_o be_v the_o dark_a people_n of_o all_o in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o scripture_n and_o in_o the_o interpretation_n of_o scripture_n according_a to_o the_o common_a sense_n the_o priest_n of_o the_o nation_n do_v go_v far_o beyond_o they_o for_o the_o quaker_n be_v so_o choke_v up_o with_o harken_v to_o the_o light_n of_o christ_n within_o they_o that_o they_o despise_v the_o body_n or_o person_n of_o christ_n without_o they_o but_o i_o have_v discover_v their_o ant●christ_n spirit_n more_o large_a in_o other_o

prove_v i_o a_o false_a judge_n and_o that_o i_o do_v not_o go_v in_o my_o sentence_n by_o any_o know_a law_n either_o of_o god_n nor_o the_o land_n so_o that_o if_o this_o be_v answer_v most_o part_n of_o his_o pamphlet_n will_v be_v answer_v for_o it_o do_v consist_v most_o part_n of_o it_o upon_o this_o thing_n therefore_o i_o shall_v give_v answer_n to_o it_o that_o other_o may_v be_v the_o better_o inform_v in_o themselves_o though_o i_o be_o satisfy_v in_o it_o as_o to_o myself_o yet_o this_o i_o do_v ingenious_o confess_v that_o i_o never_o do_v pretend_v the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o civil_a law_n of_o the_o land_n neither_o do_v i._o now_o all_o the_o knowledge_n that_o i_o profess_v to_o know_v of_o they_o be_v to_o yield_v obedience_n unto_o they_o in_o do_v of_o they_o or_o else_o to_o suffer_v the_o penalty_n or_o punishment_n of_o they_o this_o be_v the_o great_a knowledge_n i_o have_v of_o they_o for_o if_o my_o innocency_n nor_o money_n will_v not_o deliver_v i_o i_o must_v and_o will_v suffer_v under_o it_o but_o since_o god_n have_v choose_v john_n reeve_n and_o myself_o to_o be_v his_o last_o witness_n of_o the_o spirit_n i_o know_v the_o better_a true_a power_n of_o a_o judge_n for_o as_o moses_n and_o aaron_n be_v the_o two_o first_o choose_v witness_n of_o god_n so_o likewise_o john_n reeve_n and_o myself_o be_v the_o two_o last_o that_o god_n will_v ever_o choose_v by_o voice_n of_o word_n to_o the_o hear_n of_o the_o ear_n and_o as_o aaron_n be_v give_v to_o be_v moses_n mouth_n so_o lodowick_n muggelton_n be_v give_v to_o be_v john_n reeve_n mouth_n these_o thing_n can_v be_v know_v but_o by_o faith_n neither_o can_v any_o man_n tell_v that_o god_n choose_v moses_n and_o aaron_n but_o by_o faith_n but_o if_o it_o be_v object_v that_o moses_n do_v miracle_n to_o that_o i_o answer_v that_o there_o be_v as_o much_o need_n of_o faith_n to_o believe_v that_o as_o the_o other_o for_o what_o can_v be_v see_v must_v be_v believe_v so_o believe_v that_o god_n speak_v to_o john_n reeve_n and_o that_o god_n give_v unto_o john_n reeve_n a_o commission_n by_o voice_n from_o heaven_n by_o verbal_a word_n to_o the_o hear_n of_o the_o ear_n three_o morning_n together_o and_o that_o i_o be_v give_v to_o be_v his_o mouth_n and_o by_o his_o voice_n do_v i_o receive_v my_o commission_n whereby_o i_o be_o impower_v to_o be_v a_o

have_v give_v i_o a_o commission_n so_o to_o be_v as_o paul_n say_v in_o his_o time_n mean_v himself_o and_o the_o rest_n of_o his_o apostle_n we_o say_v he_o be_v ambassador_n in_o christ_n stead_n beseech_v you_o to_o be_v reconcile_v and_o the_o like_a so_o say_v i_o that_o i_o be_o a_o ambassador_n in_o christ_n stead_n to_o bless_v they_o that_o be_v reconcile_v unto_o the_o true_a faith_n in_o christ_n and_o to_o curse_v and_o damn_v those_o that_o despise_v and_o speak_v evil_a of_o they_o who_o god_n have_v send_v so_o that_o god_n have_v make_v i_o chief_a judge_n now_o to_o give_v sentence_n upon_o man_n and_o woman_n spiritual_a and_o eternal_a estate_n so_o that_o i_o shall_v unfold_v as_o short_a as_o i_o can_v how_o i_o may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v the_o chief_a judge_n and_o that_o i_o do_v go_v by_o as_o certain_a a_o rule_n as_o the_o judge_n of_o the_o land_n do_v when_o they_o give_v judgement_n according_a to_o law_n these_o two_o thing_n i_o shall_v unfold_v a_o little_a more_o clear_a than_o in_o those_o letter_n aforesaid_a first_o that_o i_o be_o chief_a judge_n in_o spiritual_a matter_n i_o prove_v thus_o because_o i_o do_v believe_v and_o certain_o know_v by_o the_o revelation_n of_o faith_n that_o god_n do_v speak_v to_o john_n reeve_n three_o morning_n together_o distinct_a word_n and_o sentence_n to_o the_o hear_n of_o the_o ear_n in_o the_o year_n 1651._o february_n the_o three_o four_o and_o five_o and_o give_v he_o a_o commission_n as_o he_o do_v moses_n and_o aaron_n be_v give_v to_o be_v moses_n his_o mouth_n so_o be_v lodowick_n muggelton_n give_v to_o be_v john_n reeve_n mouth_n so_o that_o john_n reeve_n be_v the_o chief_a while_o he_o be_v live_v but_o since_o the_o burden_n or_o commission_n of_o the_o lord_n have_v be_v lay_v upon_o i_o and_o as_o elisha_n have_v a_o double_a portion_n of_o eliahs_n spirit_n so_o have_v i_o have_v a_o double_a portion_n of_o revelation_n of_o the_o spirit_n in_o open_v the_o scripture_n since_o john_n reeve_n depart_v this_o life_n also_o god_n say_v that_o he_o have_v choose_v john_n reeve_n his_o last_o messenger_n and_o that_o he_o have_v give_v he_o lodowick_n muggelton_n to_o be_v his_o mouth_n and_o the_o next_o word_n follow_v that_o he_o have_v put_v the_o two_o edged-sword_n of_o his_o spirit_n into_o his_o mouth_n to_o pronounce_v blessing_n and_o
