though_o i_o despise_v they_o in_o other_o thing_n the_o second_o reason_n be_v because_o of_o those_o many_o letter_n and_o print_a book_n send_v unto_o i_o by_o several_a quaker_n some_o of_o

much_o strictness_n in_o their_o life_n as_o any_o quaker_n as_o luther_n write_v of_o himself_o when_o he_o be_v a_o monk_n and_o of_o several_a other_o also_o the_o young_a man_n in_o the_o gospel_n say_v all_o these_o commandment_n i_o have_v keep_v from_o my_o youth_n and_o i_o believe_v many_o of_o the_o pharisee_n be_v as_o strict_a and_o zealous_a in_o their_o way_n as_o they_o and_o the_o

to_o be_v justify_v and_o save_v thereby_o as_o the_o papist_n and_o quaker_n do_v now_o what_o the_o devil_n speak_v in_o this_o sense_n be_v most_o true_a skin_n for_o skin_n yea_o all_o that_o a_o

9_o 10._o for_o with_o the_o heart_n man_n believe_v unto_o righteousness_n and_o with_o the_o mouth_n confession_n be_v make_v unto_o salvation_n and_o therefore_o luther_n say_v that_o doctrine_n

the_o fall_v teacher_n do_v among_o the_o galatian_n and_o the_o ringleader_n of_o all_o sect_n and_o error_n ever_o since_o have_v do_v wherefore_o i_o return_v their_o own_o argument_n upon_o

though_o never_o call_v to_o teach_v &_o teach_v false_a erroneous_a doctrine_n contrary_a to_o the_o ground_n of_o religion_n and_o this_o the_o apostle_n paul_n prove_v say_v false_a apostle_n

the_o apostle_n say_v in_o the_o second_o epistle_n to_o timothy_n 15._o study_v to_o show_v thyself_o approve_v unto_o god_n a_o workman_n that_o need_v not_o to_o be_v ashamed_a right_o divide_v the_o word_n of_o truth_n you_o quaker_n be_v wise_a than_o the_o apostle_n you_o say_v your_o teacher_n need_v not_o study_v and_o timothy_n be_v i_o believe_v more_o able_a to_o preach_v without_o study_n than_o any_o of_o your_o quaker_n who_o take_v upon_o they_o to_o teach_v without_o study_n and_o therefore_o i_o marvel_v not_o that_o your_o teacher_n man_n and_o woman_n speak_v so_o much_o

objection_n be_v that_o the_o apostle_n preach_v without_o study_n and_o paul_n do_v work_v and_o we_o quaker_n have_v the_o same_o spirit_n that_o the_o apostle_n have_v to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o as_o the_o apostle_n have_v a_o extraordinary_a call_n so_o they_o be_v endow_v with_o extraordinary_a gift_n above_o any_o man_n of_o a_o ordinary_a call_v and_o although_o all_o minister_n have_v the_o same_o spirit_n the_o apostle_n have_v yet_o have_v they_o not_o the_o same_o measure_n of_o the_o spirit_n 8._o for_o as_o the_o apostle_n say_v there_o be_v diversity_n of_o gift_n

of_o the_o spirit_n as_o the_o apostle_n have_v why_o do_v you_o not_o work_v miracle_n as_o the_o apostle_n do_v when_o i_o see_v that_o then_o shall_v i_o believe_v you_o can_v preach_v without_o

have_v but_o i_o do_v believe_v it_o be_v lawful_a for_o a_o minister_n to_o read_v popish_a author_n and_o to_o study_v what_o they_o read_v else_o how_o shall_v they_o know_v what_o they_o hold_v and_o how_o to_o confute_v their_o error_n unless_o they_o do_v as_o you_o do_v take_v all_o by_o hear-say_n but_o the_o the_o apostle_n say_v 21._o try_v all_o thing_n and_o keep_v that_o which_o

that_o none_o can_v be_v perfect_o free_v from_o sin_n while_o they_o live_v here_o for_o answer_v to_o which_o i_o say_v that_o you_o quaker_n neither_o know_v nor_o understand_v what_o our_o

our_o minister_n do_v so_o for_o they_o preach_v the_o doctrine_n of_o justification_n no_o other_o way_n nor_o to_o no_o other_o end_n and_o this_o i_o prove_v before_o in_o answer_n to_o john_n horwood_n but_o i_o shall_v not_o think_v my_o labour_n ill_o bestow_v if_o the_o lord_n do_v convince_v any_o one_o of_o you_o of_o your_o error_n in_o this_o doctrine_n of_o justification_n and_o now_o i_o come_v to_o a_o second_o lie_n the_o second_o lie_n be_v that_o our_o minister_n if_o any_o be_v wound_v and_o cry_v out_o because_o of_o the_o burden_n of_o sin_n and_o be_v sick_a and_o break_v and_o tremble_v at_o the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n such_o they_o cry_v out_o be_v deceive_v 8._o and_o mock_v at_o they_o i_o wonder_v with_o what_o face_n any_o man_n can_v affirm_v such_o such_o a_o lie_n for_o our_o minister_n do_v labour_n by_o their_o preach_v to_o bring_v people_n to_o a_o sight_n and_o sense_n of_o their_o sin_n that_o they_o may_v feel_v sin_n to_o be_v a_o burden_n unto_o they_o when_o they_o see_v or_o hear_v any_o of_o you_o quaker_n fall_v into_o your_o quake_a fit_n they_o may_v say_v you_o be_v decieve_v and_o do_v pity_v they_o but_o not_o mock_v they_o as_o you_o false_o accuse_v they_o a_o three_o lie_n be_v 17._o that_o our_o minister_n have_v no_o maintenance_n but_o what_o be_v compell_v from_o the_o people_n by_o the_o law_n and_o the_o magistrate_n to_o pay_v they_o tithe_n and_o other_o thing_n and_o if_o the_o magistrate_n hold_v their_o hand_n from_o cause_v people_n to_o pay_v they_o tithe_n by_o their_o order_n and_o writ_n they_o must_v either_o beg_v or_o work_v or_o a_o worse_a thing_n for_o a_o lively_a hood_n or_o else_o perish_v so_o little_a love_n be_v there_o in_o the_o heart_n of_o their_o own_o people_n towards_o they_o for_o because_o of_o their_o wickedness_n god_n have_v leave_v they_o and_o all_o honest_a true_a heart_a people_n have_v leave_v they_o therefore_o what_o a_o condition_n be_v the_o teacher_n in_o who_o deserve_v not_o the_o love_n of_o man_n because_o of_o their_o cruel_a heartedness_n towards_o they_o and_o they_o deserve_v not_o the_o love_n of_o god_n because_o they_o be_v so_o wicked_a against_o he_o and_o conclude_v i_o may_v yet_o more_o full_o describe_v and_o declare_v wherein_o they_o do_v exceed_v the_o deceiver_n and_o false_a prophet_n of_o old_a but_o of_o this_o according_a as_o the_o lord_n move_v and_o lead_v for_o answer_v to_o this_o bundle_n of_o lie_n for_o here_o be_v many_o lie_v together_o and_o of_o these_o he_o say_v you_o shall_v have_v more_o as_o the_o lord_n move_v and_o lead_v which_o i_o understand_v to_o be_v the_o great_a lord_n beelzebub_n that_o lead_v unto_o all_o lie_v for_o sure_o the_o devil_n do_v help_v to_o invent_v all_o these_o lie_n for_o that_o they_o be_v lie_v malice_n i_o shall_v plain_o prove_v by_o what_o i_o know_v by_o my_o own_o experience_n and_o i_o question_v not_o but_o that_o the_o experience_n of_o many_o thousand_o know_v they_o be_v lie_v now_o to_o prove_v that_o these_o be_v lie_n by_o what_o i_o know_v by_o experience_n for_o i_o have_v live_v in_o london_n and_o middlesex_n many_o year_n and_o have_v well_o observe_v the_o carriage_n and_o deal_n both_o of_o minister_n towards_o their_o people_n and_o people_n towards_o their_o minister_n or_o teacher_n and_o by_o what_o i_o have_v observe_v i_o know_v these_o thing_n to_o be_v lie_v for_o that_o many_o minister_n be_v maintain_v by_o the_o voluntary_a love_n and_o affection_n of_o their_o people_n and_o not_o by_o the_o magistrate_n or_o the_o law_n compel_v they_o i_o know_v not_o only_o by_o what_o i_o have_v hear_v by_o inquire_v of_o neighbour_n parish_n both_o in_o middlesex_n and_o surrey_n and_o london_n but_o by_o what_o i_o know_v by_o experience_n for_o i_o have_v for_o many_o year_n receive_v the_o minister_n maintenance_n in_o the_o parish_n where_o i_o live_v and_o i_o never_o receive_v any_o money_n or_o any_o tithe_n by_o compulsion_n by_o the_o law_n and_o by_o the_o magistrate_n order_n but_o do_v only_o receive_v what_o the_o people_n be_v willing_a to_o give_v and_o many_o have_v give_v more_o shilling_n to_o the_o minister_n then_o of_o due_a i_o can_v demand_v penny_n and_o never_o demand_v money_n or_o any_o thing_n else_o of_o poor_a people_n think_v by_o right_a of_o law_n many_o of_o they_o ought_v to_o have_v pay_v to_o the_o minister_n but_o the_o minister_n have_v say_v i_o have_v rather_o give_v to_o the_o poor_a then_o take_v any_o thing_n from_o they_o and_o when_o poor_a people_n have_v tell_v he_o they_o be_v not_o able_a to_o pay_v he_o he_o have_v say_v i_o will_v then_o give_v it_o you_o and_o have_v give_v they_o money_n beside_o and_o he_o never_o demand_v any_o maintenance_n from_o any_o anabaptist_n or_o quaker_n or_o any_o other_o sectary_n that_o refuse_v to_o pay_v their_o due_n and_o i_o have_v speak_v with_o several_a man_n that_o have_v receive_v the_o minister_n due_n both_o in_o london_n middlesex_n and_o surrey_n and_o they_o have_v affirm_v the_o same_o and_o be_v not_o this_o quaker_n a_o liar_n to_o affirm_v the_o contrary_a but_o they_o measure_v other_o corn_n by_o their_o own_o bushel_n for_o because_o they_o will_v not_o pay_v the_o minister_n their_o due_n but_o by_o the_o law_n and_o the_o
