this_o be_v true_a religion_n in_o itself_o in_o short_a declare_v to_o wit_n the_o lead_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n into_o all_o truth_n to_o do_v the_o truth_n and_o speak_v the_o truth_n in_o

therein_o oh_o you_o fool_n and_o blind_a priest_n and_o professor_n that_o be_v dote_v on_o settle_v religion_n among_o unconverted_a people_n by_o out_o ward_v law_n and_o earthly_a power_n of_o

settle_v by_o that_o mean_n for_o before_o any_o be_v settle_v in_o religion_n they_o must_v first_o be_v change_v and_o create_v a_o new_a in_o christ_n jesus_n and_o bear_v again_o of_o the_o seed_n incorruptible_a and_o they_o must_v first_o be_v change_v from_o death_n to_o life_n and_o from_o statans_n power_n to_o god_n this_o must_v first_o be_v witness_v before_o a_o man_n or_o a_o nation_n can_v be_v religious_a and_o settle_v in_o true_a religion_n he_o must_v put_v off_o the_o body_n of_o sin_n and_o be_v circumcise_v in_o heart_n and_o he_o must_v have_v a_o new_a nature_n plant_v in_o he_o and_o he_o plant_v into_o christ_n a_o new_a and_o live_a vine_n before_o he_o can_v love_v god_n with_o all_o his_o heart_n and_o his_o neighbour_n as_o himself_o and_o before_o he_o can_v have_v his_o conscience_n keep_v void_a of_o offence_n and_o be_v without_o stain_n towards_o god_n and_o towards_o man_n and_o it_o be_v only_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o his_o power_n in_o the_o heart_n that_o work_v this_o it_o be_v only_o the_o operation_n of_o god_n spirit_n in_o and_o upon_o a_o creature_n that_o work_v he_o unto_o this_o it_o be_v not_o the_o law_n make_v by_o man_n that_o do_v it_o nor_o external_a power_n of_o the_o earth_n that_o can_v work_v it_o and_o therefore_o true_a religion_n can_v be_v settle_v thereby_o nor_o a_o nation_n or_o a_o people_n in_o it_o but_o only_o that_o which_o change_v he_o and_o make_v he_o religious_a that_o be_v it_o only_a that_o must_v settle_v religion_n and_o nation_n and_o people_n therein_o and_o as_o every_o one_o be_v turn_v to_o that_o of_o god_n in_o he_o and_o thereby_o to_o feel_v the_o power_n and_o word_n and_o spirit_n that_o do_v change_v he_o and_o renew_v he_o as_o i_o have_v say_v by_o this_o mean_n come_v a_o man_n and_o nation_n to_o be_v religious_a and_o to_o be_v settle_v therein_o and_o by_o no_o other_o way_n nor_o mean_n and_o this_o be_v do_v through_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o
