Also the man of sin found out, who is hiding himselfe in a heape of confusion, pretending Antichrist is not yet come. Occasioned by laying open some deceipts in a booke titled, The deceiv'd and deceiving Quakers discovered; subscribed Mathew Caffin and William Jeffery, brethren in iniquitie, who are joyned to deny God, Christ, the light, and spirit, in his saints, and calls it teaching Christs spirit apart from his body, and an evill spirit, to witnesse the spirit of Christ in the saints. Set forth that the simple may see the wiles the devill hath to keepe them from the word of life, the soules salvation. / By a lover of Israels seede, called James Nayler.

all_o thing_n be_v make_v and_o say_v in_o he_o be_v life_n and_o the_o life_n be_v the_o light_n of_o man_n and_o that_o this_o light_n shine_v in_o darkness_n but_o the_o darkness_n comprehend_v

sin_n in_o the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o present_o the_o serpent_n get_v a_o scripture_n to_o plead_v for_o it_o and_o so_o to_o give_v god_n the_o lie_n which_o be_v his_o work_n before_o

luke_n 4._o 10._o to_o uphold_v his_o sin_n and_o imperfection_n as_o ever_o he_o do_v with_o his_o lie_n to_o eve_n to_o set_v up_o his_o kingdom_n of_o sin_n and_o imperfection_n at_o the_o first_o which_o then_o he_o get_v in_o by_o subtlety_n without_o scripture_n but_o now_o by_o the_o letter_n will_v maintain_v it_o by_o force_n and_o if_o any_o believe_v to_o attain_v that_o estate_n again_o before_o he_o enter_v with_o boldness_n from_o the_o letter_n he_o will_v prove_v he_o a_o heretic_n and_o find_v scripture_n to_o murder_v he_o for_o it_o also_o he_o have_v but_o power_n to_o do_v it_o and_o this_o be_v the_o use_n the_o scripture_n be_v of_o when_o such_o give_v meaning_n of_o they_o and_o preach_v they_o who_o eye_n he_o have_v blind_v and_o have_v not_o the_o
