soul_n there_o be_v the_o antichrist_n that_o deny_v every_o manifestation_n of_o god_n in_o thy_o flesh_n this_o be_v the_o whore_n that_o thou_o daily_o commit_v fornication_n with_o all_o this_o be_v the_o babylon_n who_o down-fall_a will_v be_v joyous_a to_o the_o saint_n this_o be_v the_o heretic_n and_o the_o schismatique_a this_o it_o be_v that_o make_v rent_n and_o division_n among_o we_o and_o therefore_o we_o ought_v every_o one_o of_o we_o to_o desire_v god_n to_o subdue_v the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o flesh_n in_o we_o and_o to_o wait_v upon_o the_o lord_n until_o he_o come_v to_o show_v we_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o spiritual_a whore_n this_o antichrist_n in_o we_o and_o not_o so_o much_o desire_v the_o down-fall_a of_o either_o pope_n presbyter_n or_o independent_a or_o any_o other_o state_n whatsoever_o but_o to_o desire_v the_o ruin_n of_o this_o mystical_a babylon_n which_o be_v the_o mother_n of_o all_o our_o harlotry_n from_o the_o lord_n and_o so_o much_o shall_v suffice_v for_o answer_n to_o the_o second_o question_n which_o be_v nam_o how_o the_o whore_n work_v and_o what_o pretence_n she_o delude_v the_o soul_n by_o we_o proceed_v now_o in_o order_n to_o a_o three_o question_n nam_o 3._o how_o the_o soul_n come_v to_o attain_v to_o a_o sight_n of_o she_o in_o which_o we_o shall_v first_o propose_v the_o way_n that_o god_n do_v usual_o take_v to_o discover_v this_o whore_n to_o a_o christian_n 2_o when_o the_o soul_n see_v she_o how_o and_o in_o what_o manner_n it_o apprehend_v she_o first_o for_o the_o way_n that_o a_o soul_n come_v to_o attain_v a_o sight_n of_o she_o by_o if_o then_o thou_o will_v know_v the_o way_n how_o a_o christian_a come_v to_o a_o spiritual_a sight_n of_o flesh_n and_o self_n know_v that_o god_n must_v deal_v with_o thou_o as_o he_o do_v with_o john_n rev._n 17._o when_o god_n will_v show_v john_n the_o judgement_n of_o the_o great_a whore_n and_o give_v he_o a_o discovery_n of_o the_o whore_n he_o take_v he_o for_o 3._o and_o carry_v he_o away_o in_o the_o spirit_n into_o the_o wilderness_n and_o then_o say_v john_n i_o see_v a_o woman_n etc._n etc._n first_o then_o know_v that_o thou_o can_v never_o behold_v self_n aright_o till_o god_n take_v thou_o up_o or_o catry_n thou_o away_o in_o the_o spirit_n the_o spiritual_a man_n say_v the_o apostle_n see_v all_o thing_n discover_v all_o thing_n and_o judge_v all_o thing_n so_o much_o as_o the_o lord_n spirituallize_v a_o christian_n so_o much_o he_o see_v into_o himself_o and_o discern_v and_o behold_v this_o mystical_a whore_n the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o flesh_n in_o himself_o and_o now_o he_o judge_v and_o esteme_n of_o she_o as_o that_o whore_n that_o adultress_n with_o who_o he_o have_v in_o all_o his_o way_n and_o worship_n adulterate_v from_o the_o lord_n therefore_o the_o apostle_n say_v that_o the_o spirit_n search_v all_o thing_n 2_o epist_n cor._n 1._o chap._n so_o long_o as_o the_o soul_n lie_v under_o the_o veil_n of_o the_o flesh_n so_o long_a self_n be_v undiscovered_a to_o he_o for_o while_o the_o creature_n lie_v wrap_v up_o in_o the_o mantle_n of_o nature_n it_o be_v in_o a_o spiritual_a slumber_n or_o sleep_v and_o lie_v as_o one_o passive_a under_o the_o working_n of_o the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o flesh_n rock_v a_o sleep_n in_o the_o cradle_n of_o fleshly_a security_n but_o now_o when_o god_n speak_v by_o the_o small_a and_o still_a voice_n yet_o powerful_a utterance_n of_o the_o spirit_n in_o a_o christian_a come_v up_o hither_o when_o god_n take_v a_o soul_n up_o beyond_o self_n and_o creature_n in_o so_o much_o that_o now_o the_o creature_n see_v all_o but_o vanity_n below_o christ_n now_o i_o say_v the_o creature_n come_v to_o some_o discovery_n of_o himself_o but_o never_o before_o that_o man_n that_o will_v view_v the_o breadth_n and_o length_n of_o a_o city_n at_o once_o must_v not_o always_o be_v walk_v about_o in_o the_o street_n but_o he_o must_v essay_n to_o get_v up_o to_o the_o top_n of_o some_o mountain_n that_o lie_v above_o it_o and_o so_o the_o city_n shall_v be_v discover_v to_o he_o with_o its_o breadth_n and_o length_n even_o so_o it_o be_v with_o the_o spiritual_a babel_n which_o be_v in_o thou_o oh_o man_n even_o the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o flesh_n thou_o must_v be_v take_v above_o it_o ere_o thou_o can_v true_o and_o real_o discover_v it_o 2_o thou_o must_v be_v carry_v away_o in_o the_o spirit_n carry_v quite_o away_o from_o all_o power_n policy_n strength_n motion_n and_o action_n of_o the_o creature_n 3_o the_o place_n whither_o thou_o must_v be_v carry_v that_o be_v into_o a_o wilderness_n which_o be_v into_o a_o lose_a condition_n to_o sin_n and_o self_n never_o do_v the_o soul_n attain_v to_o a_o real_a sight_n of_o the_o flesh_n till_o the_o lord_n by_o his_o spirit_n do_v as_o it_o be_v lose_v the_o soul_n to_o itself_o when_o the_o creature_n come_v to_o be_v at_o a_o loss_n in_o itself_o in_o all_o its_o fleshly_a performance_n not_o know_v

the_o flesh_n when_o god_n send_v forth_o the_o beam_n of_o that_o sun_n of_o righteousness_n upon_o poor_a man_n how_o dark_a he_o behold_v himself_o to_o be_v as_o he_o stand_v in_o relation_n to_o
