in_o their_o answer_n to_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o this_o book_n and_o that_o they_o be_v not_o sound_v in_o the_o faith_n the_o snake_n in_o the_o grass_n or_o satan_n transform_v into_o a_o angel_n

revolution_n which_o the_o other_o cause_v both_o in_o church_n and_o state_n but_o their_o number_n whether_o increase_v by_o be_v so_o neglect_v be_v now_o real_o formidable_a i_o mean_v for_o the_o many_o soul_n seduce_v by_o they_o for_o i_o speak_v not_o now_o of_o temporal_a consideration_n they_o not_o only_o swarm_v over_o these_o three_o nation_n but_o they_o stock_n our_o plantation_n abroad_o it_o be_v whole_o for_o the_o love_n of_o soul_n that_o i_o have_v enter_v into_o this_o controversy_n and_o therefore_o to_o do_v right_o to_o all_o i_o have_v make_v a_o distinction_n between_o they_o in_o the_o very_a title_n i_o name_v many_o of_o their_o principal_a leader_n because_o i_o have_v great_a charity_n for_o the_o generality_n of_o the_o ignorant_a sort_n of_o they_o some_o of_o who_o i_o know_v to_o be_v very_o honest_a and_o well-meaning_n man_n and_o devout_a in_o their_o way_n and_o who_o suspect_v nothing_o of_o the_o depth_n of_o that_o mystery_n of_o iniquity_n wherein_o they_o be_v blindly_n and_o implicit_o lead_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v chief_o for_o the_o sake_n of_o these_o that_o i_o detect_v the_o error_n of_o their_o leader_n and_o

he_o at_o his_o will_n second_o i_o name_v the_o subtlety_n of_o these_o rabbi_n of_o the_o quaker_n sect._n for_o though_o they_o be_v general_o think_v the_o most_o ignorant_a and_o contemptible_a sect_n among_o all_o our_o dissenter_n and_o therefore_o be_v most_o neglect_v by_o we_o yet_o since_o i_o have_v peruse_v their_o book_n and_o converse_v with_o some_o of_o they_o i_o have_v much_o alter_v my_o opinion_n as_o to_o that_o i_o find_v they_o to_o inherit_v the_o subtlety_n as_o well_o as_o heresy_n of_o the_o arian_n and_o socinian_o who_o be_v the_o most_o subtle_a and_o hard_a to_o be_v detect_v of_o any_o of_o the_o christian_a heretic_n and_o the_o quaker_n do_v defend_v themselves_o with_o the_o same_o distinction_n and_o even_o add_v to_o their_o art_n as_o you_o shall_v see_v but_o they_o be_v now_o at_o a_o very_a hard_a lock_n for_o many_o of_o they_o have_v real_o go_v off_o from_o the_o height_n of_o blasphemy_n and_o madness_n which_o be_v profess_v among_o they_o at_o their_o first_o set_v up_o in_o the_o year_n 1650._o and_o so_o continue_v till_o after_o the_o restauration_n anno_fw-la 1660._o since_o which_o time_n they_o have_v be_v come_v off_o by_o degree_n especial_o of_o late_a some_o of_o they_o have_v make_v near_a advances_n towards_o christianity_n than_o ever_o before_o and_o among_o they_o the_o ingenious_a mr_n penn_n have_v of_o late_a refine_a some_o of_o their_o gross_a notion_n and_o bring_v they_o into_o some_o form_n have_v make_v they_o speak_v sense_n and_o english_a of_o both_o which_o george_n fox_n their_o first_o and_o great_a apostle_n be_v total_o ignorant_a as_o you_o will_v see_v in_o the_o few_o quotation_n which_o i_o have_v transcribe_v out_o of_o his_o great_a mystery_n in_o his_o own_o word_n but_o so_o wretched_a be_v their_o state_n that_o though_o they_o have_v in_o a_o great_a measure_n reform_v from_o the_o error_n of_o the_o primitive_a quaker_n yet_o they_o will_v not_o own_o this_o because_o as_o they_o think_v it_o will_v reflect_v upon_o their_o whole_a profession_n as_o indeed_o it_o do_v and_o argue_v that_o their_o doctrine_n be_v errouneous_a from_o the_o beginning_n and_o their_o pretence_n false_a and_o impious_a upon_o which_o they_o first_o leave_v the_o church_n and_o run_v into_o schism_n therefore_o they_o endeavour_v all_o they_o can_v to_o make_v it_o appear_v that_o their_o doctrine_n be_v uniform_a from_o the_o beginning_n and_o that_o there_o have_v be_v no_o alteration_n and_o therefore_o they_o take_v upon_o they_o to_o defend_v all_o the_o wrizing_n of_o george_n fox_n and_o other_o of_o the_o first_o quaker_n and_o turn_v and_o wind_v they_o to_o make_v they_o but_o it_o be_v impossible_a agree_v with_o what_o they_o teach_v now_o at_o this_o day_n on_o the_o contrary_a they_o have_v by_o these_o art_n bring_v back_o their_o new_a reformation_n to_o the_o old_a standard_n and_o while_o they_o will_v reconcile_v they_o in_o effect_n justify_v and_o still_o maintain_v their_o first_o blasphemous_a pretence_n only_o have_v dress_v and_o couch_v they_o more_o crafty_o which_o be_v more_o wicked_o therefore_o to_o rid_v they_o out_o of_o this_o difficulty_n i_o will_v persuade_v they_o open_o and_o aboveboard_n to_o renounce_v george_n fox_n and_o their_o first_o reformer_n and_o all_o their_o blasphemous_a and_o heretical_a doctrine_n which_o whoever_o refuse_v to_o do_v must_v be_v conclude_v to_o remain_v still_o in_o that_o root_n of_o bitterness_n and_o bond_n of_o iniquity_n for_o this_o reason_n i_o have_v take_v my_o rise_n from_o the_o write_n of_o george_n fox_n and_o other_o of_o their_o scribe_n and_o show_v the_o little_a pretty_a distinction_n which_o the_o modern_a quaker_n make_v use_n of_o to_o cover_v palliate_v and_o reconcile_v those_o doctrine_n of_o devil_n at_o first_o teach_v by_o they_o and_o i_o hope_v i_o have_v perform_v thus_o much_o that_o our_o present_a quaker_n must_v either_o plain_o renounce_v george_n fox_n and_o other_o their_o original_a rabbi_n or_o otherwise_o that_o they_o be_v not_o to_o be_v believe_v in_o that_o fair_a face_n which_o they_o at_o

put_v upon_o the_o gross_a absurdity_n no_o quaker_n in_o the_o world_n do_v defend_v themselves_o with_o great_a vehemence_n and_o self-assurance_n than_o the_o muggletonian_o do_v and_o they_o go_v
