further_o offer_v to_o you_o by_o way_n of_o inquiry_n as_o follow_v 1_o qu_n whether_o christ_n be_v separable_a from_o his_o righteousness_n if_o not_o whether_o he_o be_v within_o the_o saint_n his_o righteousness_n be_v not_o there_o also_o and_o consequent_o whether_o he_o that_o deny_v the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n to_o be_v within_o the_o saint_n do_v not_o blasphemous_o deny_v christ_n to_o be_v there_o also_o 2_o qu_n whether_o christ_n be_v not_o make_v of_o god_n unto_o the_o saint_n wisdom_n righteousness_n sanctification_n and_o redemption_n and_o whether_o be_v he_o so_o make_v to_o they_o within_o they_o or_o without_o they_o 3_o qu_n whether_o redemption_n and_o righteousness_n must_v not_o be_v there_o witness_v where_o the_o seat_n of_o sin_n and_o uncleanness_n be_v and_o whether_o be_v that_o seat_n of_o sin_n and_o uncleanness_n within_o or_o without_o 4_o qu_n whether_o do_v not_o the_o scripture_n witness_n that_o christ_n give_v himself_o for_o his_o that_o he_o may_v redeem_v they_o from_o all_o iniquity_n and_o purisie_n they_o unto_o himself_o and_o whether_o be_v that_o redemption_n and_o purisy_v from_o their_o iniquity_n and_o pollution_n within_o they_o or_o without_o they_o as_o you_o draw_v near_o the_o conclusion_n of_o your_o paper_n you_o wax_v more_o fierce_a and_o furious_a cast_v out_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o folly_n and_o froth_n from_o your_o unsavoury_a spirit_n charge_v i_o with_o lay_v foul_a hand_n on_o you_o and_o revile_v of_o protestant_a minister_n etc._n etc._n t._n s._n to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o it_o be_v never_o my_o principle_n neither_o be_v it_o my_o practice_n to_o lay_v violent_a hand_n upon_o any_o man_n and_o as_o for_o that_o spirit_n that_o teach_v man_n to_o

to_o be_v lead_v by_o example_n i_o must_v needs_o say_v that_o i_o may_v ere_o this_o perfect_o have_v learn_v how_o to_o practise_v both_o these_o from_o the_o example_n of_o your_o brethren_n of_o the_o clergy_n and_o their_o enrage_a disciple_n who_o be_v at_o this_o day_n very_o frequent_a in_o lay_v their_o bloody_a hand_n on_o the_o innocent_a beat_v in_o and_o cast_v out_o of_o their_o

against_o in_o their_o predecessor_n the_o scribe_n and_o pharisee_n cry_v out_o to_o those_o in_o authority_n crucify_v they_o trucifie_v they_o for_o they_o be_v not_o fit_a to_o live_v foam_v out_o mire_n and_o dirt_n speak_v all_o manner_n of_o evil_n causeless_o for_o the_o truth_n sake_n and_o be_v these_o the_o protestant_a minister_n you_o say_v i_o revile_v because_o i_o speak_v the_o plain_a truth_n of_o they_o you_o pretend_v the_o scripture_n for_o you_o rule_v then_o let_v i_o ask_v you_o and_o let_v that_o of_o god_n in_o your_o own_o conscience_n judge_v betwixt_o you_o and_o i_o do_v the_o scripture_n judge_v those_o to_o be_v true_a shepherd_n or_o wolf_n that_o worry_v and_o persecute_v the_o poor_a sheep_n be_v they_o ever_o number_v among_o christ_n sheep_n that_o devour_v his_o innocent_a lamb_n be_v it_o the_o badge_n of_o the_o dovelike_a disciple_n of_o meek_a jesus_n to_o be_v persecutor_n or_o persecute_v christ_n before_o he_o leave_v the_o world_n foretell_v what_o shall_v be_v the_o portion_n of_o his_o minister_n and_o disciple_n viz_o they_o shall_v be_v beat_v and_o scourge_v in_o the_o synagogue_n be_v bring_v before_o ruler_n and_o

portion_n of_o christ_n minister_n and_o disciple_n to_o be_v thus_o evil_o entreat_v by_o other_o can_v they_o be_v other_o than_o the_o disciple_n and_o minister_n of_o antichrist_n who_o do_v themselves_o beat_v and_o scourge_n or_o cause_v other_o to_o be_v beat_v and_o scourge_v in_o their_o synagogue_n who_o do_v bring_v before_o ruler_n and_o magistrate_n who_o do_v cast_v into_o

those_o who_o they_o condemn_v for_o heretic_n because_o they_o can_v bow_v down_o and_o worship_v the_o golden_a calf_n which_o they_o have_v set_v up_o now_o then_o judge_v if_o you_o can_v righteous_a judgement_n the_o tree_n by_o his_o fruit_n and_o say_v if_o such_o as_o these_o be_v your_o protestant_a minister_n for_o speak_v truth_n of_o who_o without_o flattery_n you_o accuse_v i_o of_o revile_v and_o tell_v i_o if_o these_o be_v minister_n of_o christ_n who_o do_v not_o abide_v in_o the_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n who_o never_o persecute_v any_o man_n nor_o give_v any_o such_o commandment_n to_o those_o that_o be_v he_o but_o instead_o thereof_o do_v strive_v to_o fore-arm_n they_o against_o all_o the_o sore_a persecution_n they_o shall_v undergo_v from_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o false_a teacher_n and_o their_o zealous_a proselyte_n and_o therefore_o whatever_o the_o doctrine_n of_o these_o your_o protestant_a minister_n be_v sure_o i_o be_o their_o deed_n

your_o arguing_n and_o assertion_n contain_v in_o your_o last_o paper_n and_o now_o a_o few_o word_n by_o way_n of_o reply_n to_o your_o satirical_a monitorie_n add_v in_o your_o conclusion_n and_o

the_o teach_n of_o that_o jesus_n who_o you_o persecute_v that_o many_o be_v find_v pass_v from_o one_o fancy_n to_o another_o in_o these_o change_a time_n as_o you_o call_v they_o be_v no_o wonder_n for_o they_o learn_v it_o from_o the_o practice_n of_o their_o teacher_n who_o own_o and_o preach_v some_o one_o fancy_n some_o another_o i_o know_v no_o seducer_n in_o the_o nation_n but_o such_o as_o draw_v man_n from_o the_o light_n love_n and_o fear_v of_o the_o lord_n to_o listen_v to_o their_o own_o fond_a dream_n still_v he_o who_o be_v the_o only_a sure_a teacher_n of_o the_o saint_n a_o pretend_a inward_a light_n and_o therefore_o by_o way_n of_o retortion_n let_v i_o advise_v you_o not_o to_o trifle_v in_o those_o thing_n that_o be_v of_o eternal_a concernment_n call_v darkness_n light_n and_o light_a darkness_n put_v not_o far_o from_o you_o the_o son_n of_o god_n because_o of_o the_o meanne_n of_o his_o garb._n stumble_v not_o at_o his_o come_n because_o not_o attend_v with_o the_o pomp_n and_o splendour_n of_o this_o decay_a world_n the_o worldly-wise_a jew_n expect_v he_o from_o the_o palace_n but_o the_o great_a god_n who_o habitation_n be_v in_o the_o

the_o same_o do_v you_o judge_v now_o but_o the_o person_n and_o thing_n which_o they_o judge_v base_a the_o lord_n have_v make_v honourable_a and_o what_o proud_a man_n will_v root_v out_o of_o the_o
