faith_n in_o the_o history_n of_o christ_n outward_a manifestation_n be_v a_o deadly_a poison_n for_o the_o bare_a conviction_n of_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o history_n and_o assent_v to_o it_o which_o be_v that_o historical_a faith_n he_o profess_v to_o mean_v where_o no_o real_a sanctification_n be_v wrought_v be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v a_o deadly_a poison_n that_o it_o have_v a_o real_a service_n remote_o at_o least_o to_o prepare_v the_o soul_n for_o sanctification_n and_o if_o many_o so_o convince_v be_v not_o sanctify_v as_o b._n cool_n confess_v in_o his_o 16_o p._n that_o faith_n will_v be_v a_o aggravation_n of_o their_o gild_n and_o misery_n which_o be_v therefore_o no_o deadly_a poison_n but_o of_o great_a use_n even_o as_o unsanctified_a man_n have_v a_o conviction_n of_o the_o light_n within_o and_o some_o sense_n of_o it_o and_o that_o be_v more_o than_o a_o bare_a historical_a faith_n of_o it_o will_v be_v a_o aggravation_n of_o their_o gild_n

light_n within_o without_o the_o inward_a work_n of_o sanctification_n that_o faith_n will_v not_o save_o they_o yet_o it_o follow_v not_o according_a to_o b._n c._n that_o the_o light_n within_o or_o a_o historical_a faith_n in_o it_o be_v a_o deadly_a poison_n i_o can_v but_o think_v b._n cool_n will_v think_v it_o a_o great_a blessing_n to_o all_o christendom_n and_o a_o great_a introduction_n to_o the_o quaker_n religion_n if_o they_o all_o have_v a_o real_a conviction_n or_o historical_a faith_n of_o the_o quaker_n notion_n of_o the_o light_n within_o though_o all_o be_v not_o sanctify_v by_o it_o yet_o that_o that_o conviction_n or_o faith_n be_v a_o deadly_a poison_n i_o see_v not_o how_o he_o can_v grant_v the_o quaker_n common_o distinguish_v betwixt_o conviction_n and_o

it_o be_v good_a and_o what_o b._n cool_a will_v say_v in_o the_o case_n of_o a_o general_a convincement_n of_o the_o light_n within_o according_a to_o his_o and_o his_o brethren_n notion_n of_o it_o

and_o introduction_n to_o spread_v the_o christian_a religion_n over_o the_o heathen_a nation_n all_o christendom_n and_o in_o a_o sort_n all_o the_o world_n have_v a_o real_a notion_n and_o faith_n
