manifestation_n for_o to_o remove_v suggest_v strengthen_v and_o raise_v be_v a_o work_n of_o the_o spirit_n but_o the_o teach_n of_o the_o spirit_n be_v in_o check_v reprove_v and_o convince_a and_o as_o the_o obedience_n be_v yield_v to_o it_o so_o it_o teach_v to_o deny_v the_o evil_n which_o it_o do_v convince_v of_o and_o reprove_v for_o and_o teach_v to_o live_v in_o that_o which_o be_v good_a that_o come_v from_o god_n and_o so_o it_o teach_v to_o deny_v ungodliness_n and_o teach_v to_o live_v sober_o mark_v it_o well_o thou_o say_v concern_v the_o enlighten_v of_o the_o mind_n that_o all_o the_o light_n in_o the_o world_n be_v never_o able_a to_o make_v we_o see_v divine_a truth_n save_o till_o we_o be_v enlighten_v of_o the_o lord_n answ_n then_o why_o be_v thou_o contend_v against_o the_o light_n of_o the_o lord_n see_v thou_o say_v that_o none_o can_v see_v divine_a truth_n save_o till_o they_o be_v enlighten_v by_o he_o will_v thou_o keep_v people_n from_o

that_o be_v in_o christ_n answ_n the_o light_n of_o christ_n do_v enlighten_v every_o one_o that_o come_v into_o the_o world_n and_o yet_o every_o one_o that_o come_v into_o the_o world_n be_v not_o in_o christ_n but_o as_o the_o light_n which_o be_v manifest_a from_o christ_n be_v obey_v so_o it_o work_v death_n upon_o the_o old_a man_n and_o raise_v up_o life_n and_o immortality_n and_o regenerate_v man_n into_o the_o nature_n of_o it_o where_o he_o become_v a_o new_a creature_n in_o christ_n and_o be_v light_a in_o the_o lord_n thou_o say_v there_o be_v no_o true_a light_n that_o

it_o for_o it_o be_v the_o light_n which_o come_v from_o christ_n the_o sun_n of_o righteousness_n which_o we_o preach_v and_o we_o know_v that_o there_o be_v not_o another_o name_n give_v under_o

in_o all_o we_o know_v say_v thou_o that_o it_o be_v but_o a_o changeling_n and_o not_o the_o genuine_a offspring_n of_o the_o spirit_n answ_n thou_o have_v say_v no_o light_n for_o salvation_n but_o

and_o that_o it_o be_v but_o a_o changeling_n but_o we_o say_v the_o inward_a natural_a as_o it_o be_v of_o man_n be_v not_o save_v to_o any_o but_o the_o inward_a spiritual_a light_n as_o it_o come_v from_o the_o nature_n of_o christ_n be_v save_v to_o all_o that_o believe_v in_o it_o but_o the_o condemnation_n of_o such_o as_o believe_v not_o and_o therefore_o we_o say_v that_o the_o light_n of_o christ_n within_o be_v not_o a_o changeling_n but_o the_o alpha_n and_o omega_n yesterday_o and_o to_o day_n and_o the_o same_o for_o ever_o in_o the_o thirteen_o chapter_n thou_o seem_v to_o hold_v

those_o truth_n the_o spirit_n have_v teach_v they_o answ_n why_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o make_v they_o do_v all_o those_o thing_n because_o they_o love_v christ_n more_o than_o all_o and_o prize_v the_o truth_n which_o he_o have_v teach_v they_o more_o than_o all_o the_o world_n but_o that_o thou_o be_v of_o the_o number_n of_o those_o that_o be_v so_o give_v up_o to_o god_n and_o

and_o the_o testimony_n of_o a_o good_a conscience_n these_o thing_n come_v not_o near_o unto_o thou_o but_o thou_o be_v revile_v the_o innocent_a who_o have_v receive_v the_o teach_n of_o god_n spirit_n and_o love_v the_o truth_n above_o all_o the_o world_n or_o the_o enjoyment_n of_o it_o for_o which_o cause_n we_o suffer_v as_o to_o our_o liberty_n and_o estate_n and_o our_o life_n be_v in_o jeopardy_n yet_o in_o the_o comfort_n of_o truth_n we_o have_v our_o rejoice_v though_o thou_o add_v affliction_n to_o our_o suffering_n thou_o say_v we_o have_v no_o foundation_n for_o such_o gradual_a teach_n as_o to_o expect_v the_o spirit_n shall_v teach_v more_o truth_n afterward_o then_o be_v write_v in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n answ_n the_o spirit_n of_o god_n be_v not_o limit_v as_o to_o what_o may_v or_o may_v not_o be_v in_o man_n expectation_n for_o god_n manifest_v the_o truth_n by_o his_o spirit_n according_a to_o his_o own_o pleasure_n and_o in_o his_o own_o time_n and_o the_o spirit_n open_v the_o scripture_n in_o fulfil_v of_o they_o and_o also_o manifest_v the_o mind_n of_o god_n in_o what_o he_o will_v further_o reveal_v and_o make_v know_v thou_o say_v though_o the_o spirit_n teach_v in_o the_o word_n that_o there_o can_v be_v no_o absolute_a perfection_n in_o this_o life_n tell_v we_o in_o the_o word_n of_o s._n john_n that_o if_o we_o say_v we_o have_v

bring_v people_n to_o that_o which_o be_v perfect_a or_o where_o will_v thou_o have_v people_n to_o be_v perfect_a if_o they_o die_v imperfect_a sure_o thy_o message_n be_v sad_a to_o that_o which_o breathe_v after_o perfection_n and_o thou_o have_v not_o receive_v the_o gift_n from_o christ_n which_o be_v for_o perfect_a of_o the_o saint_n and_o so_o thou_o be_v teach_v another_o doctrine_n than_o the_o true_a minister_n teach_v who_o labour_v that_o they_o may_v present_v every_o man_n perfect_a in_o christ_n jesus_n i_o now_o come_v to_o thy_o last_o chapter_n wherein_o thou_o seem_v to_o hold_v forth_o practical_a deduction_n from_o god_n presence_n by_o his_o spirit_n and_o thou_o say_v come_v unto_o god_n in_o a_o way_n that_o god_n never_o own_v nor_o prescribe_v be_v a_o
