private_a spirit_n in_o the_o pope_n or_o in_o any_o quaker_n can_v be_v the_o chief_a judge_n of_o any_o controversy_n of_o faith_n the_o first_o proposition_n be_v not_o deny_v and_o the_o second_o be_v witness_v 1_o john_n 4._o belove_a believe_v not_o every_o spirit_n but_o try_v the_o spirit_n whether_o they_o be_v of_o god_n for_o many_o false_a prophet_n be_v go_v out_o into_o the_o world_n and_o here_o you_o may_v see_v the_o evangelist_n give_v a_o general_a rule_n for_o christian_n to_o try_v the_o spirit_n all_o spirit_n in_o any_o man_n yea_o all_o that_o pretend_v to_o the_o

naylers_n answer_n james_n nailer_n wrangle_v about_o the_o spirit_n but_o give_v no_o satisfy_a answer_n to_o the_o argument_n but_o say_v the_o spirit_n be_v not_o a_o private_a spirit_n if_o he_o

of_o controversiy_n of_o faith_n mr_n bourn_n 2_o argument_n then_o mr_n bourne_n press_v a_o second_o argument_n no_o spirit_n which_o be_v a_o spirit_n of_o error_n lie_v and_o false_a accusation_n
