so_o they_o serve_v the_o devil_n all_o their_o day_n and_o that_o god_n will_v accept_v with_o the_o reward_n of_o peace_n of_o they_o when_o they_o can_v serve_v he_o no_o long_o for_o inasmuch_o as_o they_o tell_v people_n they_o can_v leave_v off_o sin_v but_o must_v sin_v as_o long_o as_o they_o live_v it_o be_v the_o same_o thing_n as_o if_o they_o tell_v people_n they_o must_v serve_v

and_o further_o take_v notice_n of_o this_o christ_n be_v not_o the_o way_n of_o the_o wicked_a nor_o of_o sinner_n neither_o be_v sinner_n or_o they_o that_o plead_v for_o sin_n come_v to_o the_o

the_o founder_n of_o all_o sin_n and_o the_o wage_n of_o sin_n be_v death_n and_o damnation_n to_o all_o that_o live_v and_o die_v in_o sin_n these_o thing_n be_v worthy_a to_o be_v consider_v before_o it_o be_v too_o late_a which_o will_v be_v when_o god_n spirit_n have_v do_v strive_v with_o thou_o for_o without_o come_v to_o know_v the_o devil_n work_n destroy_v in_o thou_o or_o that_o work_n begin_v by_o the_o lord_n till_o thou_o come_v to_o know_v this_o thou_o shall_v never_o know_v the_o truth_n make_v free_a from_o sin_n and_o that_o which_o make_v free_a from_o sin_n be_v christ_n and_o till_o people_n come_v to_o know_v this_o freedom_n from_o sin_n begin_v they_o can_v never_o know_v righteousness_n and_o without_o righteousness_n none_o shall_v see_v god_n and_o without_o come_v to_o see_v god_n none_o can_v go_v to_o heaven_n till_o they_o come_v to_o be_v free_v from_o sin_n none_o can_v be_v fit_v for_o heaven_n and_o the_o scripture_n say_v the_o truth_n

it_o that_o people_n must_v be_v free_v from_o i_o will_v know_v i_o do_v believe_v it_o be_v from_o sin_n for_o i_o never_o hear_v of_o any_o thing_n that_o any_o be_v in_o bondage_n to_o but_o sin_n that_o hinder_v people_n of_o salvation_n and_o therefore_o christ_n the_o truth_n be_v come_v to_o make_v a_o end_n of_o it_o that_o righteousness_n may_v reign_v in_o the_o room_n of_o sin_n and_o

it_o be_v straight_o to_o the_o wicked_a it_o be_v pleasant_a to_o the_o righteous_a and_o as_o to_o the_o many_o way_n there_o be_v not_o many_o way_n to_o heaven_n but_o to_o heaven_n there_o be_v

therefore_o it_o must_v ever_o remain_v this_o will_v not_o hold_v it_o be_v true_a ever_o since_o wickedness_n have_v be_v cover_v under_o a_o cloak_n of_o religion_n this_o have_v be_v stand_v and_o as_o to_o the_o church_n which_o some_o say_n can_v err_v i_o answer_v that_o there_o be_v no_o church_n or_o people_n but_o do_v err_v except_o they_o that_o be_v lead_v and_o guide_v by_o the_o

people_n come_v to_o this_o all_o go_v astray_o let_v they_o profess_v what_o they_o will_n and_o as_o to_o our_o forefather_n how_o it_o be_v with_o they_o that_o i_o will_v leave_v to_o the_o lord_n i_o will_v not_o judge_v of_o they_o that_o i_o never_o know_v but_o this_o i_o do_v believe_v of_o they_o that_o some_o of_o they_o be_v faithful_a to_o what_o they_o know_v and_o that_o be_v it_o the_o lord_n require_v and_o do_v accept_v of_o and_o as_o to_o they_o they_o be_v go_v and_o i_o do_v believe_v some_o of_o they_o die_v in_o the_o true_a faith_n which_o we_o do_v believe_v in_o and_o i_o do_v believe_v they_o be_v at_o rest_n with_o the_o lord_n and_o be_v of_o our_o mind_n and_o belief_n though_o not_o call_v by_o this_o new_a nickname_n which_o the_o devil_n in_o our_o

and_o so_o he_o have_v now_o and_o for_o your_o minister_n to_o know_v the_o way_n there_o be_v none_o that_o know_v the_o truth_n nor_o no_o true_a minister_n but_o they_o that_o come_v to_o be_v endue_v with_o power_n from_o on_o high_a which_o be_v know_v by_o revelation_n and_o inspiration_n which_o your_o priest_n and_o professor_n do_v deny_v therefore_o they_o can_v know_v the_o truth_n while_o they_o be_v deny_v that_o which_o bring_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o truth_n for_o the_o scripture_n say_v and_o i_o do_v believe_v they_o be_v true_a and_o they_o say_v though_o there_o be_v a_o spirit_n in_o man_n yet_o it_o be_v the_o inspiration_n of_o the_o almighty_a that_o give_v a_o understanding_n and_o as_o concern_v great_a learning_n this_o be_v good_a in_o its_o

of_o this_o world_n and_o it_o be_v never_o know_v that_o outward_a learning_n or_o education_n of_o man_n nor_o great_a learning_n do_v ever_o bring_v any_o man_n to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o

that_o come_v to_o the_o true_a knowledge_n of_o the_o right_a way_n of_o god_n for_o there_o be_v peter_n and_o john_n that_o be_v unlearned_a man_n and_o many_o more_o beside_o they_o which_o be_v

reason_n that_o there_o be_v so_o many_o ever_o read_v and_o hear_v and_o never_o able_a to_o come_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o truth_n think_v by_o run_v into_o outward_a thing_n they_o shall_v do_v well_o and_o never_o come_v to_o christ_n that_o they_o may_v know_v life_n eternal_a which_o be_v to_o know_v god_n as_o the_o scripture_n say_v who_o to_o know_v be_v life_n eternal_a a_o day_n and_o a_o time_n have_v god_n give_v to_o all_o people_n that_o if_o they_o will_v in_o that_o day_n and_o time_n they_o may_v come_v to_o know_v god_n and_o by_o he_o to_o be_v cleanse_v
