that_o you_o do_v bear_v a_o good_a testimony_n against_o other_o abuse_n connive_v at_o or_o tolerate_v among_o we_o 3._o i_o be_o move_v with_o pity_n towards_o you_o that_o you_o shall_v have_v so_o great_a cause_n of_o offence_n or_o scandal_n give_v you_o against_o the_o holy_a and_o establish_v institution_n and_o ordinance_n of_o christ_n for_o the_o ministerial_a office_n for_o the_o

now_o among_o we_o who_o do_v right_o and_o complete_o understand_v it_o and_o even_o against_o the_o person_n satisfaction_n and_o merit_n of_o christ_n himself_o but_o when_o i_o consider_v your_o notion_n and_o sentiment_n concern_v these_o thing_n though_o i_o be_o well_o satisfy_v that_o you_o be_v under_o the_o conduct_n and_o energy_n of_o some_o spiritual_a power_n yet_o what_o that_o spirit_n be_v and_o whether_o one_o or_o divers_a in_o my_o judgement_n do_v deserve_v very_o good_a consideration_n you_o know_v what_o spirit_n it_o be_v which_o god_n send_v between_o abimilech_n and_o the_o shechemite_n judg._n 9.23_o and_o what_o that_o be_v that_o be_v send_v from_o the_o lord_n to_o saul_n 1_o sam._n 6.14_o and_o what_o that_o be_v that_o be_v commission_v by_o god_n in_o the_o case_n of_o ahab_n 1_o king_n 22.22_o 23._o and_o what_o that_o be_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o prince_n of_o noph_n isa_n 19.14_o which_o be_v from_o the_o lord_n too_o and_o that_o such_o a_o spirit_n have_v be_v among_o some_o call_a quaker_n be_v manifest_a both_o by_o their_o action_n speech_n and_o write_n nay_o the_o very_a spirit_n of_o the_o devil_n and_o of_o antichrist_n be_v apparent_a and_o undeniable_a from_o the_o indignity_n offer_v both_o in_o word_n and_o deed_n to_o holy_a thing_n but_o that_o be_v not_o the_o thing_n now_o to_o be_v consider_v what_o spirit_n may_v have_v appear_v among_o they_o for_o even_o among_o the_o apostle_n satan_n have_v power_n to_o enter_v into_o judas_n and_o it_o be_v not_o improbable_a but_o those_o who_o our_o saviour_n tell_v you_o know_v not_o what_o spirit_n you_o be_v of_o and_o even_o peter_n himself_o when_o our_o saviour_n say_v to_o he_o get_v thou_o behind_o i_o satan_n may_v not_o at_o the_o time_n be_v free_a from_o some_o impression_n of_o evil_a spirit_n that_o it_o be_v likely_a be_v a_o peculiarity_n of_o our_o saviour_n for_o the_o prince_n of_o this_o world_n to_o have_v nothing_o in_o he_o but_o the_o thing_n to_o be_v consider_v be_v what_o spirit_n that_o be_v which_o at_o first_o excite_v and_o have_v now_o the_o conduct_n of_o the_o whole_a body_n of_o this_o people_n and_o not_o whether_o it_o be_v send_v or_o commission_v from_o god_n but_o whether_o it_o be_v one_o of_o the_o minister_a spirit_n send_v forth_o to_o minister_v for_o they_o who_o shall_v be_v heir_n of_o salvation_n or_o one_o of_o those_o seduce_v spirit_n to_o who_o in_o the_o latter_a time_n that_o some_o will_v give_v heed_n be_v in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o apostle_n express_o say_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n and_o great_a reason_n there_o be_v to_o take_v this_o into_o very_o deep_a consideration_n 1._o because_o of_o the_o many_o and_o weighty_a caution_n give_v by_o our_o saviour_n and_o his_o apostle_n and_o leave_v upon_o record_n in_o the_o sacred_a scripture_n for_o our_o warning_n in_o these_o latter_a time_n to_o beware_v of_o they_o and_o not_o to_o go_v out_o after_o they_o with_o admonition_n concern_v their_o subtlety_n their_o energy_n or_o power_n and_o their_o strong_a delusion_n to_o deceive_v if_o it_o be_v possible_a the_o very_a elect_n and_o that_o even_a satan_n himself_o be_v transform_v into_o a_o angel_n of_o light_n that_o be_v put_v on_o the_o appearance_n of_o a_o angel_n of_o light_n 2_o cor._n 11.14_o and_o last_o that_o we_o shall_v try_v the_o spirit_n 1_o jo._n 4.1_o 2._o because_o if_o the_o trial_n be_v by_o agreement_n or_o disagreement_n with_o the_o doctrine_n institution_n and_o ordinance_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n authorize_v by_o he_o they_o may_v seem_v to_o have_v apostatise_v and_o go_v off_o or_o at_o least_o fall_v short_a of_o they_o in_o matter_n of_o great_a moment_n and_o special_a concern_v those_o beforementioned_a and_o therefore_o to_o be_v seduce_v by_o some_o spirit_n of_o error_n for_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o the_o devil_n himself_o have_v that_o malice_n and_o envy_n against_o the_o man_n christ_n jesus_n by_o who_o he_o have_v be_v conquer_a and_o vanquish_a and_o against_o the_o solemn_a memorial_n of_o that_o victory_n that_o can_v he_o but_o keep_v people_n from_o engage_v in_o that_o holy_a covenant_n with_o he_o by_o baptism_n and_o from_o the_o solemnity_n of_o that_o memorial_n he_o will_v be_v willing_a himself_o to_o lead_v they_o into_o all_o other_o truth_n upon_o that_o condition_n rather_o than_o fail_v yet_o notwithstanding_o since_o they_o be_v a_o sober_a people_n have_v receive_v retain●●_n and_o do_v act_n upon_o one_o of_o the_o chief_a principle_n of_o christianity_n and_o have_v divers_a commendable_a thing_n in_o they_o and_o what_o error_n they_o have_v fall_v into_o have_v be_v occasion_v by_o the_o scandal_n and_o offence_n give_v by_o those_o of_o the_o church_n who_o will_v have_v a_o sad_a account_n to_o answer_v for_o it_o i_o do_v hope_n in_o the_o mercy_n and_o goodness_n of_o god_n that_o if_o it_o be_v a_o good_a spirit_n which_o have_v the_o conduct_n of_o they_o he_o shall_v lead_v and_o dispose_v those_o who_o be_v sincere_a among_o they_o to_o the_o acknowledgement_n of_o the_o truth_n in_o those_o thing_n whereto_o they_o have_v not_o yet_o attain_v and_o if_o it_o be_v otherwise_o he_o shall_v be_v force_v to_o resign_v the_o conduct_n of_o they_o to_o a_o more_o powerful_a and_o better_a guide_n
