as_o the_o lord_n give_v we_o freedom_n samuel_n stone_n ask_v we_o what_o god_n be_v we_o say_v a_o spirit_n then_o with_o his_o logic_n he_o do_v thus_o cavil_v a_o spirit_n be_v a_o angel_n and_o a_o angel_n be_v a_o creature_n god_n be_v not_o a_o creature_n therefore_o god_n be_v not_o a_o spirit_n the_o which_o we_o do_v deny_v it_o be_v both_o contrary_a to_o scripture_n and_o truth_n but_o by_o it_o he_o show_v how_o learned_a he_o be_v that_o have_v learn_v more_o of_o logic_n then_o of_o god_n for_o have_v he_o know_v god_n he_o dare_v not_o thus_o to_o have_v speak_v after_o some_o more_o word_n he_o say_v further_o that_o god_n be_v the_o author_n of_o all_o wisdom_n and_o all_o art_n the_o which_o we_o deny_v and_o put_v he_o to_o prove_v it_o and_o in_o stead_n of_o prove_v it_o he_o go_v to_o raise_v another_o argument_n nothing_o to_o the_o purpose_n but_o we_o keep_v he_o to_o what_o he_o say_v and_o put_v he_o to_o prove_v it_o by_o scripture_n but_o he_o will_v not_o nor_o can_v not_o then_o we_o say_v there_o be_v a_o wisdom_n which_o be_v earthly_a sensual_a and_o devilish_a and_o god_n be_v not_o the_o author_n of_o that_o wisdom_n and_o god_n will_v destroy_v the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o wise_a and_o bring_v to_o nought_o the_o understanding_n of_o the_o prudent_a and_o we_o say_v god_n will_v not_o destroy_v the_o wisdom_n which_o he_o be_v

wisdom_n we_o answer_v if_o samuel_n have_v say_v so_o at_o first_o we_o shall_v have_v easy_o consent_v to_o it_o than_o samuel_n stone_n say_v the_o apostle_n speak_v there_o improper_o but_o we_o affirm_v that_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n always_o speak_v proper_o after_o this_o he_o raise_v another_o lie_a argument_n which_o be_v this_o none_o be_v save_v without_o a_o promise_n you_o have_v no_o promise_n in_o the_o scripture_n and_o therefore_o be_v not_o save_v to_o which_o we_o reply_v the_o promise_n be_v i_o will_v give_v he_o for_o a_o covenant_n a_o light_n that_o he_o may_v be_v

by_o he_o to_o which_o he_o object_v nothing_o so_o after_o some_o word_n the_o day_n be_v spend_v one_o of_o their_o magistrate_n read_v we_o their_o law_n that_o we_o be_v not_o to_o stay_v in_o
