somthing foggy and Sun-burnt which is strange in that cold Countrey But what Nature had denyed her of Ornament without I found shee had within her a soule a devout sweete foule and God knowes I loved her for it Thus we finde then both by Scripture and experience that all of us have soules men and women But then again beloved some have good soules and some have bad Mrs. Lambert hath a good soule and no doubt nay I know many of you that bee here are and have good soules within you the Cavalieres and their Queanes are the bad soules they serve and are subject to bad and ungodly men men did I call them nay Devills that would devoute us and drink themselves drunk with the blood of the Saints By this then it is evident who have and who are the good Soules Whence I raise this Doctrine or rather point of Faith That wee are not to beleeve or account any to have or to bee Soules but those that are of the Family of Saints I would have said Love but that it is a particular Sect somthing differing from Ours Come on then Let every Soule bee Subject c.
