as_o 100_o piece_n of_o silver_n 10._o and_o as_o the_o thirty_o piece_n of_o silver_n be_v the_o price_n of_o innocent_a blood_n therefore_o not_o fit_a to_o be_v put_v into_o the_o treasury_n to_o

likewise_o the_o hundred_o piece_n of_o silver_n they_o value_v i_o at_o it_o be_v the_o price_n of_o innocent_a blood_n also_o though_o not_o unto_o death_n as_o our_o lord_n be_v a_o very_a goodly_a

of_o his_o mind_n in_o the_o scripture_n above_o all_o the_o man_n in_o the_o world_n at_o this_o day_n 4._o and_o this_o i_o know_v to_o be_v true_a and_o many_o that_o can_v witness_v the_o same_o i_o speak_v not_o this_o out_o of_o any_o pride_n of_o heart_n but_o out_o of_o perfect_a knowledge_n for_o
of_o the_o air_n the_o fish_n of_o the_o sea_n i_o can_v not_o imagine_v how_o these_o thing_n can_v give_v be_v to_o themselves_o nor_o how_o they_o shall_v come_v by_o nature_n nor_o how_o they_o shall_v create_v one_o another_o then_o think_v i_o man_n may_v as_o well_o create_v himself_o and_o come_v by_o nature_n as_o those_o thing_n 7._o so_o i_o think_v there_o must_v needs_o be_v some_o original_a cause_n or_o supreme_a power_n that_o give_v be_v to_o these_o thing_n and_o have_v place_v a_o law_n of_o order_n in_o all_o thing_n suitable_a to_o its_o nature_n 8._o this_o supreme_a power_n that_o make_v those_o thing_n that_o power_n that_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o cause_n we_o call_v god_n but_o what_o he_o be_v in_o himself_o i_o know_v not_o at_o that_o time_n but_o these_o thought_n preserve_v i_o from_o say_v in_o my_o heart_n as_o the_o fool_n do_v there_o be_v no_o god_n many_o of_o my_o acquaintance_n do_v say_v in_o their_o heart_n and_o tongue_n both_o that_o there_o be_v no_o god_n but_o nature_n only_o 9_o but_o notwithstanding_o i_o do_v not_o know_v that_o god_n that_o make_v all_o thing_n and_o man_n in_o his_o own_o image_n and_o likeness_n yet_o i_o consider_v that_o innocency_n of_o heart_n and_o a_o just_a upright_a spirit_n be_v good_a in_o itself_o if_o there_o be_v no_o god_n to_o reward_v it_o 10._o and_o that_o unrighteousness_n and_o lust_n after_o his_o neighbour_n wife_n and_o not_o to_o be_v of_o a_o upright_a spirit_n it_o be_v wickedness_n in_o itself_o if_o there_o be_v no_o god_n to_o punish_v it_o 11._o therefore_o i_o be_v loath_a to_o let_v go_v my_o integrity_n but_o keep_v close_o to_o it_o for_o as_o i_o have_v be_v innocent_a from_o my_o childhood_n to_o this_o day_n i_o be_v resolve_v to_o keep_v to_o it_o to_o the_o end_n if_o there_o be_v nothing_o after_o death_n yet_o will_v i_o keep_v my_o heart_n upright_o and_o will_v do_v nothing_o to_o wound_v my_o conscience_n 12._o for_o i_o never_o have_v no_o gild_n of_o actual_a sin_n that_o do_v ever_o trouble_v i_o 13._o so_o with_o this_o resolution_n i_o do_v resolve_v to_o live_v in_o to_o do_v just_a between_o man_n and_o man_n and_o to_o keep_v from_o all_o actual_a sin_n as_o i_o ever_o have_v be_v and_o not_o to_o mind_v any_o religion_n more_o for_o i_o see_v all_o profession_n of_o religion_n in_o all_o man_n be_v vain_a and_o unsatisfactory_a to_o all_o man_n as_o it_o be_v to_o i_o 14._o so_o i_o give_v over_o all_o public_a prayer_n and_o hear_v and_o discourse_n about_o religion_n and_o live_v a_o honest_a and_o just_a natural_a life_n and_o i_o find_v more_o peace_n here_o then_o in_o all_o my_o religion_n and_o if_o there_o be_v anything_o either_o of_o happiness_n or_o misery_n after_o death_n i_o leave_v it_o to_o god_n which_o i_o know_v not_o to_o do_v what_o he_o will_v with_o i_o 15._o but_o i_o be_v in_o good_a hope_n at_o that_o time_n that_o there_o be_v nothing_o after_o death_n but_o all_o happiness_n and_o punishment_n be_v in_o this_o life_n for_o i_o see_v a_o temporal_a punishment_n follow_v wickedness_n in_o this_o life_n to_o many_o 16._o and_o i_o see_v prosperity_n to_o those_o that_o be_v righteous_a even_o in_o this_o life_n so_o that_o i_o be_v in_o good_a hope_n all_o punishment_n and_o happiness_n will_v end_v in_o this_o life_n 17._o so_o i_o be_v resolve_v to_o keep_v myself_o as_o i_o always_o have_v do_v unspotted_a of_o the_o world_n and_o not_o to_o defile_v my_o conscience_n and_o i_o have_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o peace_n of_o mind_n in_o this_o condition_n

soon_o speak_v evil_a of_o a_o true_a prophet_n as_o a_o false_a prophet_n 18._o so_o his_o prophet_n give_v sentence_n of_o damnation_n upon_o many_o to_o my_o knowledge_n for_o speak_v evil_a of_o

prophet_n but_o a_o prophet_n can_v make_v a_o wicked_a man_n a_o saint_n as_o i_o have_v do_v several_a 2._o furthermore_o who_o give_v any_o saint_n in_o these_o our_o day_n power_n to_o give_v sentence_n upon_o any_o man_n for_o blasphemy_n be_v it_o not_o the_o prophet_n now_o alive_a 3._o god_n give_v the_o saint_n no_o such_o power_n neither_o do_v john_n reeve_n give_v any_o such_o

to_o give_v sentence_n for_o blasphemy_n from_o the_o prophet_n now_o alive_a and_o not_o from_o god_n sure_o then_o there_o be_v a_o power_n in_o that_o prophet_n to_o take_v off_o that_o sentence_n that_o any_o saint_n shall_v give_v in_o case_n the_o party_n so_o sentance_v come_v unto_o the_o prophet_n and_o the_o prophet_n desern_v he_o capable_a of_o true_a sorrow_n for_o his_o rash_a speech_n the_o prophet_n can_v take_v off_o that_o sentence_n that_o any_o saint_n have_v give_v and_o shall_v have_v perphect_a peace_n of_o mind_n as_o if_o no_o sentence_n at_o all_o have_v be_v pass_v upon_o he_o 5._o there_o have_v be_v a_o example_n of_o this_o both_o in_o john_n reeve_n time_n and_o since_o for_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o john_n reeve_n have_v pass_v the_o sentence_n upon_o a_o man_n for_o write_v blasphemous_a word_n upon_o the_o marjant_n of_o the_o commission_n book_n and_o when_o the_o man_n read_v the_o sentence_n he_o be_v exceed_o trouble_v all_o that_o night_n so_o that_o no_o rest_n can_v be_v find_v so_o that_o he_o come_v in_o the_o morning_n with_o the_o sentence_n in_o his_o hand_n and_o beseech_v we_o with_o tear_n upon_o his_o knee_n to_o

at_o the_o second_o hand_n subordinate_a to_o the_o power_n of_o a_o prophet_n and_o therefore_o a_o prophet_n have_v power_n to_o take_v off_o that_o sentence_n where_o and_o on_o who_o he_o please_v etc._n etc._n 10._o and_o as_o to_o the_o answer_n of_o the_o five_o assertion_n this_o i_o say_v who_o shall_v uphold_v a_o corrupt_a nature_a man_n but_o a_o prophet_n in_o case_n a_o corrupt_a nature_a man_n do_v believe_v the_o prophet_n than_o the_o prophet_n faith_n shall_v uphold_v he_o from_o the_o censure_v and_o judgement_n of_o those_o that_o look_n upon_o their_o own_o nature_n to_o be_v more_o pure_a and_o uncorrupt_a as_o to_o his_o happiness_n in_o the_o life_n to_o come_v the_o prophet_n love_n be_v in_o he_o he_o will_v uphold_v he_o 11._o and_o whereas_o you_o say_v defraud_n and_o deceive_v all_o man_n to_o this_o i_o say_v i_o do_v not_o uphold_v no_o man_n to_o defraud_v nor_o deceive_v any_o man_n it_o be_v always_o contrary_a to_o my_o nature_n to_o uphold_v
