rule_n and_o like_o proteus_n turn_v myself_o into_o all_o shape_n sometime_o i_o design_v christ_n himself_o often_o the_o spirit_n himself_o but_o often_o the_n dictate_v of_o the_o spirit_n within_o to_o be_v that_o rule_n but_o he_o may_v at_o that_o ra●e_n have_v no_o less_o blame_v the_o apostle_n paul_n that_o he_o turn_v himself_o into_o all_o shape_n while_o he_o affirm_v

word_n or_o dictate_v but_o to_o answer_v direct_o when_o i_o say_v christ_n be_v the_o rule_n and_o again_o when_o i_o say_v the_o spirit_n be_v the_o rule_n there_o be_v no_o absurdness_n therein_o for_o if_o we_o mean_v by_o the_o spirit_n the_o holy_a ghost_n christ_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v never_o separate_v or_o divide_v in_o what_o they_o speak_v or_o witness_v in_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n but_o their_o speech_n and_o testimony_n be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o always_o and_o also_o christ_n himself_o in_o scripture_n be_v call_v the_o second_o adam_n the_o quicken_a spirit_n and_o the_o lord_n that_o spirit_n and_o say_v christ_n i_o be_o the_o way_n the_o truth_n and_o the_o life_n and_o certain_o that_o life_n be_v spirit_n and_o also_o the_o word_n or_o dictate_v of_o it_o be_v spirit_n and_o life_n as_o christ_n say_v the_o word_n that_o i_o speak_v unto_o you_o be_v spirit_n and_o life_n so_o the_o reader_n may_v see_v that_o my_o word_n be_v sound_a and_o

leave_v unto_o sober_a man_n for_o to_o judge_v in_o the_o next_o place_n he_o argue_v that_o christ_n can_v be_v the_o rule_n nor_o the_o spirit_n because_o the_o rule_n of_o faith_n must_v be_v some_o complex_fw-la proposition_n direction_n or_o precept_n and_o the_o like_a to_o this_o i_o answer_v first_o that_o the_o rule_n of_o faith_n must_v be_v a_o complex_fw-la proposition_n

his_o servant_n by_o the_o motion_n of_o his_o spirit_n without_o any_o formal_a or_o express_a word_n again_o i_o ask_v i._n a._n if_o he_o have_v not_o learn_v in_o the_o school_n that_o the_o

see_v the_o scripture_n say_v god_n be_v love_n he_o that_o know_v god_n to_o be_v love_n and_o have_v the_o love_n of_o god_n shed_v abroad_o in_o his_o heart_n by_o the_o holy_a spirit_n which_o
