A52677 An account from the children of light (to them that askes) in several particulars why we have been kept from joyning to, or worshipping in those formes at law, and formes of worships, that have been imposed upon us against our consciences, in these late years, for denying whereof, we have so deeply suffered, with our lives, liberties, and estates. : Also what we owne as to those things, and can be obedient to for conscience sake, according to truth, and the practise of the church of Christ, and the Scriptures.

3.14_o and_o have_v bear_v his_o reproach_n because_o of_o his_o spirit_n in_o we_o and_o his_o kingdom_n in_o our_o conscience_n and_o many_o time_n have_v be_v try_v to_o the_o loss_n of_o
land_n may_v have_v become_v as_o sodom_n and_o not_o one_o have_v know_v the_o lord_n nor_o his_o word_n and_o as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o day_n of_o the_o false_a prophet_n so_o have_v it_o be_v since_o the_o day_n of_o the_o false_a ministry_n for_o which_o many_o have_v suffer_v since_o the_o day_n of_o the_o apostle_n for_o testify_v against_o such_o as_o have_v err_v in_o spirit_n form_n

true_a minister_n of_o christ_n 6.12_o for_o their_o weapon_n be_v not_o carnal_a but_o spiritual_a nor_o do_v they_o wrestle_v with_o flesh_n but_o with_o spirit_n so_o all_o they_o can_v get_v from_o the_o apostle_n either_o in_o word_n or_o practice_n be_v this_o that_o if_o they_o be_v trouble_v with_o error_n or_o profaneness_n in_o their_o church_n then_o if_o they_o have_v the_o

they_o will_v know_v that_o which_o will_v convert_v in_o deed_n and_o truth_n and_o not_o make_v hypocrite_n or_o else_o kill_v they_o but_o the_o false_a church_n have_v not_o these_o weapon_n nor_o
