a_o epistle_n of_o margaret_z everard_n to_o the_o people_n call_v quaker_n and_o the_o ministry_n among_o they_o more_o especial_o to_o such_o of_o they_o to_o who_o she_o have_v be_v particular_o know_v and_o who_o be_v concern_v for_o she_o as_o if_o she_o be_v lose_v and_o fall_v from_o truth_n show_v her_o dissatisfaction_n with_o the_o ignorance_n error_n and_o uncharitableness_n that_o too_o much_o abound_v among_o they_o to_o all_o who_o be_v hearty_o concern_v for_o i_o fear_v i_o be_o lose_v or_o fall_v from_o truth_n i_o know_v no_o reason_n for_o such_o fear_n you_o may_v have_v take_v the_o freedom_n to_o have_v visit_v i_o one_o way_n or_o other_o and_o let_v i_o have_v know_v your_o reason_n well_o because_o i_o believe_v some_o do_v love_v i_o and_o desire_v to_o know_v how_o it_o be_v with_o i_o i_o now_o tell_v you_o and_o that_o to_o the_o honour_n and_o praise_n of_o my_o good_a god_n it_o be_v as_o well_o and_o better_a with_o i_o than_o ever_o it_o be_v and_o the_o lord_n presence_n and_o power_n be_v with_o i_o public_a and_o private_a love_a friend_n i_o have_v rather_o not_o have_v write_v but_o leave_v it_o to_o time_n and_o to_o the_o lord_n who_o will_v plead_v my_o innocent_a cause_n now_o to_o the_o best_a of_o my_o remembrance_n few_o have_v be_v so_o kind_a to_o come_v and_o see_v i_o but_o have_v take_v thing_n upon_o report_n and_o have_v rather_o pass_v sentence_n and_o report_v again_o but_o all_o be_v little_a to_o i_o the_o more_o they_o have_v do_v the_o more_o the_o lord_n be_v to_o i_o nay_o and_o i_o can_v say_v i_o rather_o rejoice_v not_o that_o they_o be_v so_o unfair_a as_o to_o judge_v from_o a_o bare_a report_n but_o that_o the_o lord_n be_v please_v to_o accept_v of_o i_o as_o a_o sufferer_n for_o my_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n sake_n and_o now_o my_o friend_n i_o think_v to_o tell_v you_o how_o i_o have_v proceed_v or_o what_o i_o do_v that_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o this_o disturbance_n first_o i_o be_v not_o satisfy_v concern_v the_o state_n of_o thing_n as_o we_o be_v a_o people_n i_o have_v be_v dissatisfy_v for_o some_o year_n about_o the_o ministry_n and_o the_o shortness_n of_o my_o own_o understanding_n and_o the_o gross_a error_n in_o our_o friend_n book_n and_o i_o cry_v to_o the_o lord_n many_o time_n in_o secret_a but_o dare_v not_o pretend_v to_o find_v much_o fault_n only_o sometime_o a_o little_a to_o my_o husband_n about_o the_o minister_n but_o i_o know_v myself_o be_v to_o blame_v as_o well_o as_o other_o but_o be_v not_o full_a clear_a in_o my_o understanding_n neither_o be_v i_o fit_a to_o stand_v a_o storm_n as_o i_o do_v believe_v it_o will_v be_v and_o as_o i_o have_v find_v it_o to_o be_v and_o may_v yet_o find_v more_o such_o be_v the_o great_a dissatisfaction_n i_o meet_v with_o that_o i_o be_v much_o backward_a to_o speak_v in_o meeting_n and_o have_v so_o be_v for_o some_o year_n last_o pass_v for_o some_o reason_n i_o can_v give_v but_o one_o be_v i_o have_v some_o small_a glimpse_n of_o some_o matter_n of_o doctrine_n which_o i_o for_o my_o part_n have_v never_o speak_v of_o nor_o ever_o hear_v any_o of_o our_o friend_n speak_v of_o as_o i_o remember_v but_o do_v not_o speak_v at_o any_o time_n for_o the_o reason_n aforesaid_a nor_o can_v i_o have_v strength_n until_o my_o good_a god_n give_v i_o strength_n then_o i_o begin_v in_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o fear_n i_o do_v stammer_v a_o little_a sometime_o and_o so_o i_o do_v still_o as_o the_o lord_n please_v but_o no_o soon_o do_v i_o so_o do_v but_o many_o rise_v up_o against_o i_o and_o my_o testimony_n it_o be_v new_a doctrine_n to_o they_o some_o say_v i_o be_v go_v from_o my_o former_a innocency_n and_o simplicity_n other_o say_v i_o preach_v priest_n and_o george_n keith_n doctrine_n but_o the_o doctrine_n of_o neither_o george_n keith_n nor_o any_o other_o man_n doctrine_n but_o christ_n though_o i_o love_v and_o esteem_n george_n keith_n for_o his_o faithful_a testimony_n to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n some_o say_v they_o can_v find_v in_o their_o heart_n to_o oppose_v i_o other_o say_v they_o can_v or_o will_v pull_v i_o down_o some_o can_v not_o stay_v to_o hear_v and_o say_v it_o be_v pitiful_a stuff_n by_o what_o i_o say_v you_o may_v judge_v what_o doctrine_n i_o do_v preach_v first_o some_o say_v what_o good_a can_v a_o christ_n without_o do_v we_o let_v we_o mind_n the_o light_n within_o that_o be_v enough_o for_o we_o and_o not_o to_o trouble_v ourselves_o with_o a_o christ_n without_o and_o deny_v the_o resurrection_n and_o call_v the_o preach_v of_o it_o wisdom_n and_o a_o feed_n upon_o the_o tree_n of_o knowledge_n and_o scripture_n notion_n and_o do_v tell_v we_o in_o meeting_n our_o friend_n do_v not_o mind_n scripture_n notion_n at_o first_o but_o to_o be_v short_a as_o the_o matter_n will_v bear_v i_o have_v be_v and_o be_o a_o great_a sufferer_n i_o count_v for_o truth_n and_o friend_n i_o will_v have_v we_o consider_v what_o be_v the_o reason_n our_o heart_n be_v so_o ignorant_a oh_o true_o i_o may_v just_o take_v a_o part_n and_o say_v the_o leader_n of_o the_o people_n have_v cause_v they_o to_o err_v oh_o i_o have_v often_o think_v i_o can_v bring_v they_o no_o far_o than_o i_o be_v come_v myself_o o_o friend_n we_o have_v be_v in_o a_o great_a extreme_a and_o in_o as_o great_a as_o many_o other_o for_o they_o preach_v christ_n without_o but_o if_o they_o believe_v he_o within_o they_o have_v be_v short_a of_o preach_v he_o within_o or_o direct_v the_o mind_n of_o the_o people_n to_o the_o divine_a light_n of_o christ_n by_o which_o they_o may_v have_v be_v lead_v to_o look_v with_o the_o eye_n of_o their_o soul_n to_o christ_n without_o and_o in_o his_o light_n to_o see_v the_o great_a love_n of_o god_n in_o his_o son_n and_o what_o god_n do_v by_o he_o for_o poor_a mankind_n and_o what_o he_o be_v now_o a_o do_v in_o heaven_n without_o we_o for_o we_o and_o what_o he_o be_v still_o to_o do_v for_o we_o at_o the_o great_a and_o last_o day_n of_o judgement_n i_o say_v the_o people_n and_o the_o teacher_n or_o very_o many_o of_o they_o have_v be_v and_o be_v short_a in_o this_o weighty_a matter_n and_o have_v take_v up_o a_o rest_n short_a of_o true_a faith_n in_o christ_n as_o he_o be_v send_v to_o die_v for_o we_o i_o do_v declare_v a_o bare_a historical_a faith_n of_o these_o thing_n be_v not_o sufficient_a oh_o no_o no_o it_o be_v a_o live_a faith_n wrought_v in_o the_o heart_n by_o the_o spirit_n and_o power_n of_o god_n it_o be_v god_n gift_n and_o what_o our_o bless_a lord_n jesus_n christ_n do_v purchase_v by_o his_o death_n and_o suffering_n and_o shed_v of_o his_o most_o precious_a blood_n and_o bless_v be_v his_o pure_a eternal_a holy_a name_n he_o be_v the_o dispenser_n of_o it_o and_o of_o all_o other_o bless_a gift_n and_o grace_n i_o say_v they_o come_v through_o he_o to_o we_o and_o for_o his_o sake_n and_o although_o it_o be_v say_v all_o man_n have_v not_o faith_n yet_o those_o aught_o to_o have_v it_o who_o be_v teacher_n of_o other_o for_o i_o do_v declare_v those_o who_o preach_v it_o and_o direct_v to_o a_o live_a faith_n in_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n so_o as_o to_o beget_v any_o soul_n into_o it_o aught_o to_o have_v faith_n in_o some_o degree_n themselves_o and_o they_o that_o have_v it_o not_o aught_o to_o use_v all_o mean_n whereby_o they_o may_v attain_v to_o it_o because_o it_o be_v impossible_a to_o please_v god_n without_o it_o as_o the_o holy_a scripture_n declare_v and_o i_o say_v it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o believe_v in_o god_n as_o he_o be_v the_o great_a creator_n and_o upholder_n of_o all_o thing_n but_o we_o must_v believe_v in_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n as_o he_o teach_v himself_o you_o believe_v in_o god_n belieae_fw-la also_o in_o i_o here_o i_o understand_v they_o do_v believe_v in_o god_n and_o consequent_o in_o his_o light_n in_o their_o heart_n which_o be_v in_o order_n that_o they_o may_v 〈◊〉_d in_o he_o also_o as_o i_o say_v before_o it_o be_v a_o heart-belief_n wrought_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n as_o it_o be_v write_v with_o the_o heart_n man_n believe_v unto_o righteousness_n and_o with_o the_o mouth_n confession_n be_v make_v unto_o salvation_n and_o as_o i_o say_v so_o i_o say_v still_o we_o ought_v to_o use_v all_o mean_n possible_a that_o god_n have_v ordain_v to_o believe_v so_o one_o great_a and_o necessary_a mean_n be_v read_v the_o holy_a scripture_n and_o hear_v the_o doctrine_n of_o this_o great_a mystery_n preach_v to_o wit_n of_o
