they_o from_o every_o quarter_n whereby_o i_o find_v a_o very_a great_a change_n from_o what_o be_v at_o the_o beginning_n much_o jar_a and_o discord_n secret_a envy_n and_o different_a opinion_n this_o cause_v much_o disquiet_a anâ_n anguish_n in_o my_o mind_n and_o put_v i_o upon_o a_o neââ_n examination_n of_o the_o ground_n of_o religion_n thereââ_n i_o consider_v both_o what_o i_o have_v renounce_v and_o whââ_n it_o be_v i_o now_o entertain_v in_o the_o room_n thereof_o ãâã_d remember_v that_o the_o first_o thing_n that_o induce_v i_o ãâã_d leave_v communion_n with_o the_o church_n be_v a_o conceââ_n that_o the_o scripture_n be_v not_o the_o word_n of_o god_n for_o thââ_n word_n be_v god_n himself_o and_o the_o scripture_n a_o deââ_n letter_n and_o the_o letter_n kill_v therefore_o i_o think_v the_o scripture_n can_v not_o be_v the_o rule_n of_o faith_n aââ_n worship_n and_o that_o such_o as_o teach_v by_o it_o must_v be_v bliâââ_n guide_n and_o if_o the_o blind_a lead_v the_o blind_a both_o must_v ãâã_d together_o the_o rule_n to_o which_o i_o think_v i_o be_v ãâã_d take_v heed_n be_v a_o light_n within_o there_o be_v the_o word_n ãâã_d god_n direct_v i_o what_o i_o must_v do_v to_o be_v save_v ãâã_d i_o judge_v it_o needless_a to_o do_v or_o know_v any_o this_o ãâã_d which_o that_o light_n show_v not_o to_o be_v necessary_a aââ_n by_o that_o light_n i_o see_v no_o necessity_n of_o outward_a ordinance_n so_o conclude_v they_o be_v but_o commandment_n of_o man_n and_o not_o to_o be_v regard_v etc._n etc._n tâââ_n be_v the_o foundation_n of_o my_o relapse_n to_o quakeriââ_n i_o next_o consider_v why_o other_o oppose_v this_o my_o nââ_n on_o as_o myself_o have_v once_o do_v and_o i_o find_v tââ_n oppose_v the_o sufficiency_n of_o this_o light_n within_o from_o belief_n that_o god_n have_v give_v the_o scripture_n for_o ãâã_d sufficient_a rule_n and_o that_o the_o scripture_n contaiââ_n all_o thing_n necessary_a to_o be_v believe_v and_o practise_v ãâã_d have_v no_o way_n to_o prove_v the_o sufficiency_n of_o my_o ligââ_n but_o by_o the_o scripture_n which_o i_o fancy_v refer_v ãâã_d to_o it_o so_o this_o revive_v my_o suspicion_n of_o that_o ââticle_n especial_o consider_v it_o be_v to_o no_o purpââe_a man_n to_o teach_v any_o doctrine_n which_o they_o can_v pretend_v no_o scripture_n for_o this_o force_v this_o inference_n upon_o i_o if_o all_o doctrine_n must_v be_v prove_v from_o scripture_n then_o doubtless_o scripture_n be_v the_o rule_n but_o i_o see_v it_o be_v and_o it_o must_v be_v so_o therefore_o i_o can_v avoid_v this_o conclusion_n that_o the_o scripture_n be_v the_o rule_n and_o if_o it_o be_v than_o here_o be_v my_o first_o mistake_n this_o make_v i_o remember_v who_o they_o be_v i_o have_v lift_v even_o those_o that_o teach_v this_o very_a doctrine_n and_o then_o may_v i_o leave_v they_o and_o that_o be_v at_o first_o because_o they_o teach_v this_o doctrine_n thus_o i_o proceed_v from_o one_o consideration_n to_o another_o to_o a_o fresh_a view_n of_o the_o sacrament_n for_o when_o i_o can_v not_o escape_v the_o
