A86663	The cause of stumbling removed from all that will receive the truth; and from before the eyes of the wise men of London: in a treatise shewing the difference between the spirit of a man which is the candle of the Lord, and the light which hath enlightned every man that cometh into the world. Also shewing ... there is not diversity of lights and spirits, by which they are ministred ... Herein also is a false hosanna, and a false testimony reproved ... the name of him which hath so long travell'd to bring forth wind and confusion, is one known in the city of London by the name of Iohn Iackson ... that so ... understanding and knowledge of the truth may be increased, in those that follow on to know the Lord. Given forth from the Lords servant, Richard Hubberthorne.	Hubberthorn, Richard, 1628-1662.; Burrough, Edward, 1634-1662.	1657 (1657)	Wing H3222; Thomason E929_5; ESTC R202544	39,439	35

occasion_n against_o we_o by_o search_v our_o book_n and_o as_o he_o say_v have_v find_v some_o contradiction_n in_o they_o which_o may_v appear_v to_o be_v so_o to_o his_o dark_a mind_n yet_o in_o the_o sight_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n that_o be_v truth_n which_o he_o see_v to_o be_v no_o other_o than_o error_n however_o this_o be_v send_v forth_o for_o the_o true_a information_n of_o people_n mind_n that_o they_o may_v know_v that_o truth_n be_v bold_a and_o confident_a and_o that_o it_o be_v armour_n which_o defend_v from_o all_o enemy_n and_o give_v strength_n to_o answer_v the_o craftiness_n of_o man_n and_o this_o same_o john_n jackson_n have_v show_v himself_o now_o to_o be_v one_o with_o the_o common_a priest_n of_o the_o world_n for_o as_o they_o have_v do_v so_o have_v he_o oppose_v the_o way_n and_o people_n of_o god_n and_o with_o the_o very_a same_o argument_n show_v that_o he_o be_v of_o the_o very_a same_o spirit_n with_o they_o his_o discourse_n and_o argument_n be_v of_o the_o same_o nature_n as_o they_o be_v yea_o he_o have_v show_v himself_o to_o be_v of_o the_o very_a same_o spirit_n with_o all_o the_o open_a profane_a wretch_n which_o do_v revile_v and_o scorn_n and_o abuse_v in_o every_o town_n and_o country_n the_o lord_n people_n and_o as_o they_o do_v so_o so_o have_v he_o write_v with_o subtle_a argument_n to_o the_o very_a same_o end_n as_o they_o reproach_n and_o scorn_n to_o wit_v in_o a_o derision_n and_o despise_v the_o way_n and_o servant_n of_o the_o lord_n so_o that_o his_o self-separation_n be_v now_o see_v what_o it_o be_v to_o be_v a_o very_a cheat_n and_o hypocrisy_n who_o while_o he_o profess_v a_o separation_n from_o the_o world_n do_v practice_n the_o very_a same_o wickedness_n and_o be_v not_o change_v from_o they_o in_o nature_n though_o he_o be_v in_o appearance_n but_o what_o a_o poor_a work_n have_v he_o bring_v forth_o in_o two_o year_n time_n which_o he_o say_v his_o work_n have_v be_v as_o embres_n

and_o bring_v it_o forth_o in_o the_o morning_n who_o will_v have_v think_v but_o a_o wise_a man_n in_o that_o time_n will_v have_v bring_v forth_o a_o large_a piece_n and_o more_o to_o purpose_n i_o be_o sure_a he_o may_v have_v make_v better_a use_n of_o his_o time_n in_o another_o exercise_n then_o to_o have_v write_v against_o the_o servant_n of_o the_o lord_n it_o have_v be_v more_o honest_a for_o he_o to_o have_v set_v his_o pen_n to_o paper_n and_o study_v to_o have_v give_v his_o testimony_n against_o the_o pride_n and_o drunkenness_n and_o oppression_n and_o whoredom_n and_o wickedness_n in_o this_o great_a city_n i_o say_v it_o have_v be_v more_o honest_a and_o like_a a_o saint_n to_o have_v seek_v the_o reform_n of_o profaneness_n and_o wickedness_n that_o great_o abound_v in_o this_o city_n then_o to_o have_v study_v two_o year_n to_o bring_v forth_o his_o invent_a stuff_n against_o a_o harmless_a and_o innocent_a people_n which_o he_o nor_o any_o can_v just_o charge_v with_o evil_a but_o as_o he_o have_v dig_v deep_a by_o his_o imagination_n in_o recollect_v a_o seeming-contradiction_n out_o of_o our_o writing_n which_o be_v no_o contradiction_n no_o more_o than_o christ_n word_n be_v who_o say_v except_o you_o eat_v my_o flesh_n and_o drink_v my_o blood_n you_o have_v no_o life_n in_o you_o and_o yet_o in_o the_o same_o discourse_n say_v the_o
