apostle_n and_o all_o the_o holy_a man_n of_o god_n that_o ever_o be_v teach_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n all_o that_o be_v guide_v by_o that_o one_o and_o the_o same_o spirit_n we_o do_v witness_n and_o own_o and_o all_o that_o have_v that_o same_o spirit_n to_o lead_v and_o guide_v they_o to_o the_o live_a god_n who_o be_v a_o spirit_n will_v own_v and_o witness_v we_o to_o be_v of_o god_n and_o our_o testimony_n to_o be_v true_a and_o this_o shall_v be_v answer_v by_o that_o of_o god_n in_o all_o conscience_n and_o whereas_o thou_o speak_v several_a time_n of_o the_o institution_n and_o ordinance_n of_o christ_n answer_n the_o ordinance_n and_o institution_n of_o christ_n we_o own_o and_o witness_n and_o honour_n and_o his_o command_n arc_n not_o grievons_fw-fr but_o joyous_a but_o thou_o that_o speak_v these_o word_n have_v make_v thyself_o manifest_a to_o deny_v the_o ordinance_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o institution_n and_o be_v ignorant_a of_o they_o what_o they_o be_v when_o thou_o come_v to_o name_v they_o thou_o name_v sabbath_n and_o sacrament_n and_o for_o the_o ministry_n and_o magistracy_n which_o thou_o speak_v of_o we_o have_v answer_v that_o before_o yet_o this_o i_o say_v to_o thou_o more_o that_o those_o minister_n which_o be_v ordain_v by_o christ_n do_v not_o preach_v for_o hire_n christ_n jesus_n bare_a witness_n against_o the_o hireling_n and_o call_v he_o a_o thief_n and_o a_o robber_n now_o see_v if_o thy_o minister_n which_o thou_o speak_v for_o be_v not_o such_o and_o then_o see_v if_o thou_o do_v not_o blaspheme_v christ_n in_o say_v that_o he_o ordain_v such_o as_o he_o call_v thief_n and_o robber_n which_o be_v hireling_n which_o fly_v because_o they_o be_v hireling_n those_o who_o he_o ordain_v and_o send_v forth_o be_v send_v forth_o free_o who_o have_v receive_v free_o of_o he_o and_o free_o they_o do_v give_v they_o do_v not_o go_v in_o the_o way_n of_o cain_n to_o envy_v nor_o run_v greedy_o after_o the_o error_n of_o balaam_n for_o gift_n and_o reward_n now_o see_v if_o those_o minister_n which_o thou_o speak_v of_o be_v not_o such_o where_o do_v ever_o christ_n ordain_v they_o or_o when_o do_v they_o receive_v a_o commission_n but_o who_o he_o ordain_v do_v preach_v the_o gospel_n free_o to_o every_o creature_n and_o have_v a_o commission_n from_o he_o to_o baptize_v all_o nation_n in_o the_o nome_n of_o the_o father_n and_o of_o the_o son_n and_o of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n do_v thy_o minister_n that_o thou_o speak_v of_o so_o read_v the_o scripture_n honest_o and_o see_v whether_o christ_n ordain_v any_o but_o such_o as_o have_v a_o immediate_a command_n and_o revelation_n from_o he_o and_o such_o receive_a power_n from_o above_o to_o go_v teach_v all_o nation_n now_o see_v whether_o these_o minister_n thou_o speak_v of_o will_n own_o this_o commission_n or_o witness_v it_o and_o if_o they_o can_v than_o thou_o be_v he_o that_o blaspheme_v chritt_n and_o defame_v his_o truth_n which_o be_v pure_a which_o will_v not_o admit_v of_o any_o decit_fw-la nor_o guile_n and_o for_o that_o thou_o speak_v of_o sabbath_n here_o thou_o be_v deny_v christ_n for_o where_o he_o be_v know_v and_o witness_v to_o be_v come_v he_o be_v the_o end_n of_o the_o sabbath_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o his_o people_n and_o what_o scripture_n have_v thou_o which_o say_v that_o christ_n ordain_v a_o day_n to_o be_v keep_v as_o a_o sabbath_n will_v thou_o belie_v christ_n jesus_n to_o say_v he_o have_v ordain_v a_o sabbath-day_n which_o he_o put_v a_o end_n to_o here_o let_v all_o read_v the_o scripture_n and_o try_v thou_o and_o thy_o ordinance_n that_o thou_o plead_v so_o for_o the_o son_n of_o man_n be_v the_o lord_n of_o the_o sabbath_n if_o thou_o have_v a_o ear_n thou_o may_v hear_v or_o a_o eye_n thou_o may_v see_v but_o thou_o be_v blind_a and_o yet_o have_v eye_n and_o deaf_a and_o yet_o have_v ear_n and_o for_o thy_o sacrament_n which_o thou_o call_v a_o ordinance_n of_o christ_n this_o be_v a_o ordinance_n of_o thy_o own_o make_n which_o thou_o have_v no_o scripture_n for_o at_o all_o will_v thou_o say_v that_o christ_n ordain_v a_o sacrament_n when_o there_o be_v no_o scripture_n for_o it_o oh_o that_o thou_o shall_v be_v so_o blind_a and_o yet_o will_v take_v upon_o the_o to_o exhort_v as_o thou_o say_v the_o church_n of_o christ_n but_o sure_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n know_v the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n better_a than_o thou_o do_v for_o thy_o ordinance_n be_v beggarly_a rudiment_n which_o be_v but_o commandment_n and_o doctrine_n of_o man_n but_o it_o be_v little_a with_o thou_o to_o call_v they_o the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n who_o be_v so_o far_o by_o the_o truth_n as_o thou_o be_v in_o all_o thy_o paper_n throughout_o but_o those_o who_o be_v dead_a with_o christ_n from_o the_o rudiment_n of_o the_o world_n can_v be_v subject_a to_o thy_o ordinance_n for_o the_o apostle_n exhort_v from_o they_o and_o say_v touch_v not_o taste_v not_o handle_v not_o which_o be_v all_o to_o perish_v with_o the_o use_n of_o they_o and_o his_o exhortation_n we_o own_o and_o cleave_v to_o and_o keep_v his_o ordinance_n as_o he_o deliver_v they_o to_o we_o and_o thou_o we_o do_v deny_v but_o the_o ordinance_n of_o christ_n jesus_n we_o live_v in_o according_a to_o the_o scrpture_n and_o all_o the_o saint_n in_o light_n that_o ever_o go_v before_o we_o for_o hei_n our_o peace_n who_o have_v make_v both_o one_o and_o break_v down_o the_o partition_n wall_n betwixt_o we_o and_o have_v abolish_v in_o his_o flesh_n the_o enmity_n even_o the_o law_n of_o commandment_n contain_v in_o ordinance_n for_o to_o make_v himself_o of_o twain_o one_o new_a man_n so_o make_v peace_n and_o that_o he_o may_v reconcile_v both_o unto_o god_n in_o one_o body_n by_o the_o cross_n have_v slay_v the_o enmity_n thereby_o but_o where_o this_o enmity_n stand_v unslain_a which_o be_v far_o off_o and_o not_o wash_v and_o make_v nigh_o by_o his_o blood_n here_o the_o ordinance_n of_o man_n be_v set_v up_o and_o call_v the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n who_o be_v without_o christ_n be_v alien_n from_o the_o commonwealth_n of_o israel_n and_o stranger_n from_o the_o covenant_n of_o promise_n not_o be_v wash_v and_o cleanse_v and_o purge_v by_o his_o blood_n which_o make_v nigh_o and_o take_v away_o the_o partition-wall_n and_o make_v of_o twain_o one_o new_a man._n now_o if_o thou_o or_o any_o of_o you_o do_v witness_v this_o condition_n then_o do_v you_o know_v and_o live_v in_o the_o ordinance_n of_o christ_n but_o if_o you_o be_v dead_a in_o your_o fin_n and_o the_o uncircumcision_n of_o your_o flesh_n then_o have_v he_o not_o blot_v out_o the_o hand-writing_n of_o ordinance_n and_o have_v not_o take_v it_o away_o nail_v it_o to_o his_o cross_n now_o see_v whether_o you_o be_v here_o or_o no_o or_o else_o ever_o talk_v of_o the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n but_o let_v they_o be_v as_o indeed_o and_o in_o truth_n they_o be_v the_o ordinance_n of_o man_n and_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n so_o long_o as_o thou_o be_v ignorant_a of_o these_o thing_n and_o of_o the_o working_n and_o operation_n of_o the_o live_a spirit_n and_o power_n of_o the_o live_a god_n so_o long_o as_o thou_o know_v nothing_o but_o what_o thou_o know_v natural_o beware_v how_o thou_o speak_v of_o trance_n and_o quaking_n and_o such_o expression_n lest_o thou_o blaspheme_v against_o god_n for_o the_o live_a god_n nor_o his_o power_n nor_o work_v thou_o know_v not_o therefore_o be_v silent_a and_o beware_v how_o thou_o judge_v with_o evil_a thought_n that_o which_o thou_o know_v not_o for_o in_o that_o thou_o corrupt_v thyself_o and_o be_v find_v to_o be_v one_o of_o those_o filthy_a dreamer_n which_o defile_v the_o flesh_n despiss_v dominiun_v and_o speak_v evil_a of_o dignity_n and_o so_o as_o i_o say_v before_o bring_v thyself_o under_o the_o wo._n and_o so_o beware_v and_o fear_n and_o dread_v the_o live_a god_n who_o be_v a_o consume_a fire_n to_o his_o enemy_n and_o before_o he_o thou_o can_v stand_v with_o thy_o filthy_a stuff_n which_o thou_o have_v rake_v together_o his_o jealousy_n burn_v like_o fire_n and_o this_o will_v be_v as_o stubble_n before_o he_o therefore_o see_v what_o thou_o have_v that_o will_v abide_v the_o fire_n for_o nothing_o will_v stand_v in_o his_o presence_n but_o what_o will_v answer_v to_o the_o fire_n and_o this_o thou_o shall_v eternal_o witness_v to_o be_v truth_n and_o love_n to_o thy_o soul_n and_o the_o spirit_n which_o speakcth_v in_o we_o be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o

then_o for_o evil_a do_n for_o jesus_n christ_n have_v suffer_v the_o just_a for_o the_o unjust_a that_o he_o may_v bring_v we_o unto_o god_n and_o for_o this_o faith_n do_v we_o contend_v which_o

be_v not_o to_o believe_v lie_n as_o thou_o do_v which_o be_v manifest_v in_o thy_o paper_n sufficient_o and_o this_o be_v that_o faith_n which_o overcome_v and_o give_v victory_n over_o the_o world_n and_o believe_v in_o the_o truth_n as_o it_o be_v in_o jesus_n and_o thou_o begin_v and_o reckon_v from_o the_o maryan-time_n the_o generation_n of_o man_n famous_a as_o thou_o say_v who_o stand_v for_o faith_n and_o holiness_n and_o the_o profession_n of_o true_a religion_n i_o answer_v thou_o may_v see_v what_o thy_o profession_n of_o true_a religion_n end_v in_o who_o be_v now_o in_o thy_o

will_v not_o serve_v thou_o nor_o thy_o profession_n of_o a_o true_a religion_n when_o thou_o be_v persecute_v and_o detain_v the_o pure_a religion_n and_o undefiled_a before_o god_n and_o the_o
