A90388	Babylon the Great described. The city of confusion. In every part whereof Antichrist reigns. Which knoweth not the order and unity of the spirit, but striveth to set up an order and uniformity according to the wisdom of the flesh, in all her territories atd [sic] dominions. Her sins, her judgements. With some plain queries further to discover her, and some considerations to help out of her suburbs, that her inward building may lye the more open to the breath and spirit of the Lord, from which it is to receiv [sic] its consumption and overthrow. Also, an exhortation to the powers of the earth. By Isaac Penington, the younger.	Penington, Isaac, 1616-1679.	1659 (1659)	Wing P1153; Thomason E770_2; ESTC R203128	52,975	64

spirit_n thereto_o but_o in_o he_o it_o be_v fornication_n this_o man_n be_v a_o thief_n and_o a_o intruder_n he_o steal_v into_o the_o outward_a knowledge_n and_o practice_n without_o the_o inward_a

hold_v forth_o their_o conception_n of_o the_o way_n as_o the_o only_a way_n and_o so_o have_v lose_v the_o meekness_n and_o simplicity_n which_o be_v fresh_a and_o lively_a in_o some_o of_o they_o before_o which_o set_v they_o a_o great_a way_n back_o and_o make_v the_o entrance_n into_o the_o kingdom_n very_o hard_o to_o they_o whereas_o if_o that_o simplicity_n and_o tenderness_n be_v fresh_a in_o they_o the_o lord_n will_v show_v great_a regard_n to_o that_o easy_o pardon_v this_o their_o error_n and_o in_o mercy_n to_o they_o visit_v that_o evil_a spirit_n with_o his_o judgement_n which_o stand_v nigh_o they_o and_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o their_o error_n but_o they_o be_v grow_v high_a they_o be_v grow_v wise_a they_o be_v become_v confident_a they_o know_v the_o way_n already_o and_o can_v maintain_v it_o by_o undeniable_a argument_n as_o they_o think_v to_o be_v the_o way_n so_o the_o lord_n with_o his_o teach_n be_v at_o a_o great_a distance_n from_o they_o that_o lie_v very_o low_a in_o they_o which_o the_o lord_n alone_o will_v teach_v 3._o by_o continue_v in_o practice_n to_o which_o they_o be_v once_o lead_v by_o the_o spirit_n without_o the_o
