for_o certain_o they_o that_o pretend_v no_o more_o than_o the_o ordinary_a divine_a assistance_n can_v not_o have_v err_v more_o gross_o than_o you_o have_v do_v i_o wish_v with_o all_o my_o heart_n that_o you_o have_v more_o of_o the_o spirit_n and_o that_o you_o be_v prophet_n indeed_o that_o we_o may_v have_v more_o truth_n and_o need_v not_o spend_v our_o time_n in_o correct_v folly_n and_o admonish_v you_o in_o the_o lord_n that_o you_o make_v your_o humble_a and_o ardent_a supplication_n for_o wisdom_n to_o he_o that_o give_v and_o upbraid_v not_o and_o that_o withal_o you_o labour_n and_o search_v for_o she_o as_o for_o hide_a treasure_n and_o despise_v not_o the_o light_n which_o godhath_n set_v up_o in_o any_o who_o have_v various_o distribute_v his_o gift_n as_o he_o have_v the_o member_n of_o our_o body_n for_o mutual_a assistance_n see_v your_o fail_n watch_v against_o they_o and_o take_v more_o heed_n and_o amend_v to_o ascribe_v any_o thing_n that_o be_v false_a to_o the_o holy_a ghost_n you_o know_v be_v wicked_a impudence_n and_o of_o the_o worst_a consequence_n the_o profane_a and_o atheistical_a be_v the_o more_o tempt_v hereby_o to_o believe_v there_o be_v no_o such_o divine_a power_n how_o horrid_a be_v it_o to_o say_v that_o spirit_n lie_v how_o nigh_o to_o which_o you_o come_v by_o assert_v he_o to_o be_v the_o author_n of_o your_o error_n in_o your_o seriousness_n consider_v if_o i_o have_v err_v i_o have_v err_v as_o a_o man_n and_o yet_o i_o think_v and_o know_v i_o have_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n and_o for_o all_o the_o world_n will_v not_o be_v without_o it_o it_o will_v do_v well_o since_o you_o say_v you_o be_v prophet_n like_o they_o of_o old_a send_v from_o the_o lord_n immediate_o and_o guide_v infallible_o that_o you_o tell_v we_o in_o all_o your_o write_n distinct_o what_o the_o lord_n say_v and_o what_o you_o say_v of_o yourselves_o as_o st._n paul_n give_v notice_n when_o he_o speak_v his_o own_o judgement_n say_v this_o say_v i_o not_o the_o lord_n this_o not_o i_o but_o the_o lord_n 1_o cor._n 7._o 6._o 12._o 25_o 26_o 40._o and_o so_o much_o i_o expect_v of_o he_o that_o shall_v reply_v to_o what_o i_o have_v write_v and_o that_o in_o every_o particular_a that_o i_o may_v know_v with_o who_o i_o have_v to_o do_v viz._n that_o he_o say_v i_o have_v receive_v by_o inspiration_n this_o interpretation_n but_o this_o i_o have_v not_o but_o deliver_v it_o according_a to_o my_o best_a judgement_n or_o else_o declare_v apert_o that_o you_o write_v nothing_o at_o all_o but_o what_o you_o have_v by_o inspiration_n i_o admonish_v further_o that_o if_o you_o believe_v the_o holy_a ghost_n do_v not_o intend_v that_o sense_n in_o which_o you_o use_v the_o word_n of_o scripture_n you_o plain_o and_o honest_o declare_v so_o much_o but_o then_o reflect_v whether_o it_o be_v not_o better_a to_o let_v the_o scripture_n stand_v in_o that_o sense_n which_o the_o holy_a ghost_n have_v give_v they_o lest_o every_o one_o use_v this_o liberty_n they_o come_v at_o last_o to_o signify_v just_a nothing_o but_o like_o the_o air_n be_v blow_v hither_o and_o thither_o with_o every_o breath_n as_o every_o one_o please_v and_o be_v turn_v into_o all_o shape_n like_o a_o piece_n of_o soft_a wax_n think_v not_o that_o to_o interpret_v mystical_o be_v profound_a wisdom_n and_o aught_o to_o be_v admire_v of_o the_o people_n for_o alas_o they_o that_o be_v weak_a be_v apt_a to_o this_o and_o hither_o they_o fly_v when_o the_o letter_n be_v too_o hard_a for_o they_o and_o take_v heed_n especial_o of_o think_v yourselves_o spiritual_a because_o you_o talk_v spiritual_o as_o know_v that_o none_o be_v so_o but_o who_o be_v bear_v of_o the_o spirit_n and_o walk_v according_a to_o it_o who_o be_v holy_a in_o their_o life_n and_o holy_a in_o their_o nature_n which_o they_o that_o turn_v the_o letter_n into_o spirit_n may_v be_v as_o far_o from_o as_o the_o swinish_a adulterer_n and_o the_o rude_a swearer_n and_o now_o because_o i_o know_v not_o whether_o i_o shall_v speak_v to_o you_o any_o more_o take_v that_o serious_a word_n which_o i_o have_v sometime_o have_v in_o my_o mind_n to_o dispense_v to_o you_o which_o be_v this_o insist_v on_o the_o particular_a duty_n of_o a_o christian_a man_n and_o deliver_v they_o with_o all_o perspicuity_n of_o speech_n as_o know_v they_o be_v not_o to_o be_v practise_v in_o phraseology_n and_o pure_a mystical_a notion_n cry_v not_o out_o against_o minister_n for_o take_v of_o tithe_n call_v they_o for_o this_o cause_n hireling_n and_o wolf_n covetous_a balaam_n deceiver_n and_o antichrist_n since_o you_o see_v such_o walk_n sober_o righteous_o and_o godly_a and_o seek_v the_o conversion_n of_o sinner_n and_o will_v part_v with_o their_o estate_n and_o sacrifice_n their_o life_n for_o the_o sake_n of_o christ_n since_o you_o know_v that_o it_o be_v false_a doctrine_n pernicious_a error_n and_o heresy_n which_o make_v the_o false_a prophet_n and_o this_o may_v be_v and_o be_v find_v in_o they_o that_o take_v no_o tithe_n and_o in_o they_o that_o decry_v they_o and_o they_o that_o do_v receive_v they_o may_v be_v
