apostle_n say_v the_o same_o so_o we_o do_v preach_v the_o free_a gospel_n &_o free_a grace_n to_o you_o and_o turn_v you_o from_o the_o darkness_n to_o the_o light_n and_o from_o the_o power_n of_o

etc._n etc._n and_o he_o say_v he_o have_v declare_v unto_o the_o church_n the_o whole_a counsel_n of_o god_n and_o yet_o he_o never_o declare_v to_o any_o in_o all_o his_o write_n decree_n or_o epistle_n or_o any_o other_o of_o the_o apostle_n that_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n shall_v take_v tithe_n and_o offering_n and_o hale_v they_o into_o court_n and_o spoil_v their_o good_n and_o cast_v they_o into_o prison_n until_o death_n if_o they_o will_v not_o give_v they_o tithe_n and_o offering_n or_o curse_v they_o they_o that_o do_v not_o bring_v in_o their_o tithe_n into_o

declare_v in_o his_o whole_a counsel_n of_o god_n that_o they_o shall_v keep_v the_o day_n of_o the_o birth_n or_o death_n of_o any_o of_o the_o saint_n and_o call_v they_o holy_a day_n and_o he_o never_o declare_v in_o all_o his_o counsel_n of_o god_n that_o they_o shall_v name_v their_o meeting-house_n after_o the_o saint_n name_n also_o he_o never_o declare_v in_o his_o whole_a counsel_n of_o god_n that_o child_n shall_v have_v godfather_n and_o godmother_n and_o that_o priest_n shall_v sprinkle_v they_o with_o outward_a water_n and_o sign_n they_o with_o the_o sign_n of_o the_o gross_a but_o say_v there_o be_v one_o faith_n and_o one_o baptism_n and_o that_o they_o be_v baptize_v into_o one_o body_n with_o one_o spirit_n and_o so_o make_v to_o drink_v into_o one_o spiris_fw-la and_o they_o that_o be_v baptize_v into_o christ_n have_v put_v he_o on_o likewise_o the_o apostle_n never_o declare_v in_o his_o whole_a counsel_n of_o god_n that_o the_o saint_n shall_v observe_v a_o time_n of_o lent_n and_o abstain_v from_o flesh_n and_o eat_v fish_n or_o that_o the_o saint_n shall_v observe_v the_o time_n of_o easter_n which_o be_v the_o time_n of_o the_o jew_n

christmass-day_n etc._n etc._n now_o if_o you_o say_v the_o apostle_n in_o their_o decree_n or_o epistle_n do_v command_v the_o church_n to_o do_v and_o observe_v such_o thing_n then_o i_o pray_v you_o tell_v we_o where_o it_o be_v write_v that_o we_o like_o the_o noble_a berean_o may_v search_v for_o it_o and_o be_v not_o angry_a nor_o offend_v with_o we_o because_o we_o do_v not_o follow_v you_o in_o these_o thing_n who_o say_v the_o scripture_n be_v your_o rule_n for_o life_n doctrine_n and_o practice_n and_o yet_o can_v make_v these_o your_o practice_n and_o doctrine_n good_a by_o scripture_n and_o now_o if_o christ_n and_o the_o apostle_n and_o apostles_n who_o declare_v the_o whole_a counsel_n of_o god_n to_o the_o church_n in_o their_o day_n if_o they_o declare_v none_o of_o these_o thing_n beforementioned_a which_o you_o practise_v to_o be_v the_o counsel_n of_o god_n then_o have_v not_o you_o set_v they_o up_o in_o that_o spirit_n that_o be_v apostatise_v from_o the_o power_n and_o spirit_n the_o apostle_n be_v in_o and_o have_v compel_v other_o to_o follow_v your_o practice_n which_o you_o have_v command_v and_o teach_v for_o doctrine_n which_o christ_n and_o

therefore_o how_o can_v you_o expect_v that_o we_o shall_v follow_v you_o for_o the_o apostle_n say_v follow_v we_o as_o we_o follow_v christ_n so_o according_a to_o the_o apostle_n teach_v we_o be_v to_o follow_v you_o no_o far_o than_o you_o follow_v christ_n you_o can_v expect_v it_o if_o you_o own_o christ_n and_o the_o apostle_n and_o their_o doctrine_n for_o christ_n say_v free_o you_o
