still_o look_v upon_o they_o to_o be_v deceiver_n it_o be_v clear_a from_o scripture_n that_o antichrist_n shall_v be_v permit_v to_o work_v false_a miracle_n but_o that_o they_o shall_v so_o counterfeit_v the_o true_a that_o it_o will_v be_v hard_a to_o discern_v the_o one_o from_o the_o other_o without_o god_n immediate_a direction_n and_o teach_n and_o therefore_o the_o preach_n of_o sound_a doctrine_n accompany_v with_o a_o holy_a life_n be_v a_o better_a evidence_n of_o a_o true_a prophet_n than_o all_o outward_a miracle_n whatsoever_o as_o christ_n say_v by_o their_o fruit_n you_o shall_v know_v they_o he_o do_v not_o say_v by_o their_o miracle_n but_o by_o their_o fruit_n now_o we_o be_v most_o willing_a to_o be_v try_v by_o this_o rule_n if_o both_o our_o doctrine_n and_o life_n and_o manner_n of_o conversation_n be_v not_o answerable_a to_o that_o of_o the_o prophet_n christ_n and_o the_o apostle_n then_o let_v they_o say_v we_o have_v not_o that_o spirit_n which_o be_v in_o they_o but_o if_o they_o can_v not_o make_v out_o this_o they_o but_o fight_v as_o man_n beat_v the_o air_n pag._n 80._o they_o argue_v that_o there_o be_v no_o substantial_a live_a principle_n in_o man_n that_o be_v the_o good_a seed_n because_o then_o the_o evil_a seed_n or_o principle_n shall_v also_o be_v substantial_a but_o this_o be_v absurd_a therefore_o that_o this_o be_v absurd_a they_o argue_v for_o than_o it_o shall_v be_v create_v by_o god_n and_o so_o god_n shall_v be_v the_o author_n of_o evil_a and_o sin_n or_o it_o shall_v be_v uncreated_a and_o consequent_o god_n to_o this_o we_o answer_v the_o same_o argument_n militat_v as_o much_o and_o rather_o more_o against_o their_o own_o principle_n for_o see_v they_o hold_v sin_n to_o be_v somewhat_o whether_o a_o substance_n or_o a_o accident_n be_v all_o one_o as_o to_o the_o argument_n we_o argue_v by_o a_o retortion_n against_o themselves_o either_o it_o be_v create_v or_o uncreated_a and_o so_o the_o same_o inconvenience_n will_v follow_v but_o to_o answer_v direct_o we_o say_v sin_n consider_v in_o its_o formal_a reason_n be_v rather_o a_o privation_n than_o any_o real_a be_v as_o blindness_n or_o lameness_n in_o a_o man_n body_n or_o corruption_n in_o wine_n or_o any_o other_o liquor_n but_o if_o they_o inquire_v about_o the_o subject_n of_o this_o privation_n whether_o it_o be_v a_o substance_n we_o answer_v it_o be_v and_o it_o be_v clear_a from_o the_o scripture_n testimony_n that_o as_o christ_n rule_v in_o the_o saint_n so_o the_o devil_n rule_v in_o the_o wicked_a and_o be_v in_o they_o and_o as_o god_n have_v his_o seed_n and_o birth_n in_o the_o saint_n so_o the_o devil_n have_v his_o seed_n and_o birth_n in_o the_o wicked_a which_o be_v of_o the_o devil_n nature_n but_o if_o it_o be_v ask_v further_o whether_o it_o be_v a_o substance_n we_o answer_v first_o with_o inquire_v at_o they_o another_o question_n and_o retort_v the_o argument_n upon_o they_o whether_o the_o devil_n be_v a_o substance_n yea_o or_o nay_o if_o yea_o either_o he_o be_v create_v or_o uncreated_a if_o create_v than_o god_n be_v the_o author_n of_o the_o devil_n if_o uncreated_a than_o he_o shall_v be_v god_n their_o own_o consequence_n which_o be_v blasphemy_n but_o 2._o the_o true_a answer_n to_o both_o be_v that_o he_o who_o be_v now_o the_o devil_n be_v create_v of_o god_n a_o good_a angel_n but_o by_o his_o own_o voluntary_a fall_n he_o have_v reduce_v himself_o to_o be_v a_o devil_n not_o by_o any_o real_a creation_n but_o by_o a_o degeneration_n and_o as_o be_v the_o devil_n himself_o so_o be_v his_o seed_n a_o corrupt_a degenerate_v principle_n from_o what_o it_o be_v original_o before_o sin_n be_v but_o if_o we_o take_v the_o seed_n of_o the_o devil_n distinct_o as_o distinct_a from_o himself_o we_o do_v not_o say_v it_o be_v any_o percipient_a principle_n that_o see_v or_o know_v etc._n etc._n for_o it_o be_v rather_o of_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o body_n then_o of_o a_o percipient_a intelligent_a spirit_n and_o the_o scripture_n call_v it_o a_o body_n to_o wit_n the_o body_n of_o death_n but_o whether_o the_o seed_n of_o sin_n be_v a_o substance_n or_o not_o the_o student_n argument_n be_v altogether_o impertinent_a to_o argue_v that_o because_o the_o good_a seed_n be_v a_o substantial_a live_a principle_n etc._n etc._n then_o the_o evil_a principle_n or_o seed_n shall_v also_o be_v substantial_a live_a etc._n etc._n for_o the_o same_o reason_n we_o deny_v this_o consequence_n for_o there_o be_v great_a reason_n whereby_o to_o prove_v the_o one_o than_o the_o other_o if_o they_o think_v to_o argue_v from_o the_o rule_n of_o contrary_n they_o think_v foolish_o for_o it_o will_v as_o much_o follow_v that_o because_o a_o man_n be_v a_o substance_n who_o see_v and_o hear_v etc._n etc._n that_o therefore_o a_o man_n blindness_n and_o deafness_n and_o lameness_n be_v also_o substance_n and_o that_o blindness_n see_v deafness_n

substance_n proper_o be_v not_o contrary_a to_o another_o but_o last_o of_o all_o we_o may_v more_o just_o retort_v this_o blasphemous_a consequence_n upon_o many_o of_o their_o own_o church_n who_o hold_v that_o god_n stir_v up_o the_o devil_n and_o all_o wicked_a man_n unto_o all_o their_o wicked_a action_n by_o a_o irresistible_a motion_n or_o quality_n which_o he_o infuse_v into_o they_o common_o call_v praedeterminatio_fw-la physica_fw-la be_v not_o this_o to_o make_v god_n the_o author_n of_o sin_n as_o also_o many_o of_o they_o teach_v that_o original_a sin_n be_v a_o positive_a quality_n infuse_v into_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n at_o their_o creation_n concern_v which_o positive_a quality_n we_o thus_o argue_v either_o it_o be_v create_v or_o uncreated_a etc._n etc._n and_o so_o the_o inconvenience_n of_o their_o argument_n will_v fall_v much_o more_o upon_o their_o own_o head_n for_o they_o can_v allege_v that_o this_o positive_a quality_n at_o its_o first_o creation_n be_v first_o good_a and_o afterward_o become_v change_v into_o evil_n because_o no_o quality_n can_v admit_v any_o such_o transmutation_n as_o for_o example_n whiteness_n can_v never_o become_v blackness_n nor_o sweetness_n bitterness_n nor_o straightness_n crookedness_n although_o a_o substance_n that_o be_v white_a may_v loose_v its_o whiteness_n and_o may_v become_v black_a and_o that_o which_o be_v sweet_a may_v become_v bitter_a and_o that_o which_o be_v straight_o become_v crooked_a in_o the_o prosecution_n of_o their_o second_o argument_n they_o bring_v their_o matter_n to_o this_o issue_n that_o g._n k._n hold_v the_o seed_n itself_o to_o be_v contradistinct_a from_o the_o manifestation_n because_o the_o manifestation_n be_v in_o the_o feed_n but_o we_o deny_v the_o

will_v that_o g._n k._n call_v the_o seed_n both_o a_o substance_n and_o a_o manifestation_n be_v as_o reasonable_a as_o to_o say_v there_o be_v outward_a manifestation_n of_o god_n goodness_n power_n

in_o they_o what_o blind_a reason_n be_v these_o which_o those_o poor_a blind_a man_n bring_v forth_o against_o the_o truth_n again_o they_o argue_v that_o this_o manifestation_n which_o we_o say_v
