than_o say_v thou_o have_v it_o from_o a_o child_n i_o call_v it_o miraculous_a because_o i_o have_v know_v many_o to_o have_v such_o impediment_n but_o never_o before_o do_v i_o know_v any_o to_o

religion_n real_o consist_v in_o a_o cross_a method_n to_o all_o other_o society_n of_o christian_n that_o ever_o be_v in_o be_v for_o such_o thing_n as_o be_v indeed_o fundamental_o of_o the_o christian_a religion_n they_o account_v nicety_n circumstantial_o &_o smaller_n matter_n and_o care_v not_o how_o confuse_o they_o preach_v they_o but_o what_o be_v real_o circumstantial_n or_o small_a matter_n as_o tithe_n m●●t_n etc._n etc._n and_o not_o of_o necessity_n for_o a_o christian_a practice_n they_o make_v the_o fundamental_o of_o their_o religion_n and_o yet_o as_o thou_o have_v note_v they_o be_v hypocritical_a in_o the_o practice_n of_o most_o of_o those_o thing_n too_o as_o may_v also_o be_v instance_a in_o divers_a other_o thing_n i_o will_v name_v two_o first_o they_o make_v it_o matter_n of_o conscience_n not_o to_o sing_v david_n psalm_n and_o yet_o they_o use_v another_o way_n of_o sing_v in_o their_o meeting_n and_o make_v a_o great_a noise_n with_o it_o too_o especial_o when_o any_o fluent_a or_o thunder_a preacher_n come_v among_o they_o yea_o many_o of_o they_o have_v write_v in_o posy_n or_o rhyme_n which_o be_v to_o he_o sing_v and_o as_o i_o remember_v w._n baily_n and_o i_o coal_n call_v some_o rhime_n that_o they_o have_v write_v by_o the_o name_n of_o song_n so_o that_o it_o seem_v people_n may_v sing_v the_o quaker_n write_n but_o not_o david_n by_o their_o allowance_n two_o they_o pretend_v conscience_n not_o to_o honour_n or_o respect_v their_o superior_n by_o put_v off_o the_o hat_n but_o they_o will_v bow_v the_o body_n and_o pray_v what_o be_v the_o difference_n i_o take_v bow_v the_o body_n to_o be_v a_o great_a respect_n than_o doff_v the_o hat_n but_o though_o they_o can_v doff_v the_o hat_n to_o other_o yet_o those_o quaker_n who_o be_v wealthy_a that_o live_v in_o great_a town_n and_o city_n in_o england_n lo●e_v hat_n honour_n so_o well_o that_o they_o cause_v their_o apprentice_n to_o doff_v their_o

about_o both_o in_o their_o write_n and_o also_o in_o their_o action_n about_o delaware_n river_n but_o i_o wonder_v how_o thou_o come_v to_o neglect_v that_o notable_a instance_n of_o my_o old_a
