i_o have_v reason_n to_o suspect_v w._n l._n also_o for_o in_o a_o certain_a discourse_n he_o have_v with_o r._n s._n a_o good_a friend_n of_o i_o about_o two_o year_n ago_o he_o plead_v for_o a_o sinless_a perfection_n here_o in_o this_o life_n as_o it_o be_v opposite_a to_o that_o impute_v righteousness_n of_o christ_n make_v we_o by_o believe_v as_o the_o way_n by_o which_o he_o expect_v to_o be_v justifify_v whereupon_o r._n s._n ask_v he_o whether_o he_o have_v yet_o attain_v it_o w._n l._n tell_v he_o he_o have_v not_o whereupon_o r._n s._n reply_v you_o do_v not_o know_v but_o you_o may_v die_v before_o you_o have_v attain_v it_o how_o then_o can_v you_o think_v to_o stand_v justify_v before_o god_n it_o can_v be_v by_o your_o own_o personal_a righteousness_n for_o that_o you_o confess_v you_o have_v it_o not_o i_o shall_v be_v amaze_v to_o hear_v he_o utter_v such_o expression_n so_o contrary_a thereunto_o as_o these_o be_v in_o his_o book_n but_o that_o i_o consider_v he_o may_v have_v learn_v the_o art_n of_o equivocation_n from_o w._n p._n by_o his_o often_o converse_v with_o he_o but_o now_o i_o be_o upon_o this_o head_n i_o will_v make_v so_o bold_a as_o to_o ask_v w._n p._n and_o the_o quaker_n one_o question_n quest_n suppose_v they_o do_v attain_v to_o a_o state_n of_o sinless_a perfection_n here_o in_o this_o life_n yet_o see_v many_o of_o they_o have_v live_v in_o a_o course_n of_o sin_v twenty_o thirty_o or_o forty_o year_n before_o they_o attain_v it_o what_o must_v make_v compensation_n for_o the_o sin_n they_o have_v commit_v in_o the_o time_n pass_v of_o their_o life_n if_o they_o shall_v say_v their_o own_o obedience_n which_o they_o perform_v to_o the_o light_n within_o they_o after_o they_o be_v thus_o perfect_a that_o be_v to_o suppose_v the_o good_a deed_n they_o perform_v in_o the_o latter_a part_n of_o their_o life_n shall_v make_v compensation_n for_o their_o former_a evil_a deed_n which_o will_v proclaim_v to_o all_o intelligent_a man_n not_o only_o that_o they_o hold_v justification_n by_o their_o own_o personal_a righteousness_n exclusive_a of_o christ_n righteousness_n which_o be_v to_o be_v justify_v by_o work_n in_o the_o strict_a notion_n be_v the_o next_o principle_n we_o be_v to_o inquire_v into_o but_o also_o that_o they_o do_v hold_v that_o other_o popish_a principle_n to_o believe_v that_o they_o can_v do_v work_n of_o supererogation_n and_o yet_o this_o author_n be_v much_o displease_v that_o any_o shall_v suppose_v the_o quaker_n do_v derive_v their_o pedigree_n from_o rome_n w._n l._n go_v on_o to_o excuse_v his_o belove_a friend_n w._n p._n by_o tell_v we_o that_o forasmuch_o as_o many_o teacher_n so_o word_n this_o doctrine_n of_o justification_n as_o the_o weak_a be_v thereby_o mislead_v into_o a_o vain_a hope_n that_o god_n will_v justify_v they_o or_o look_v upon_o they_o as_o just_a and_o righteous_a through_o christ_n at_o the_o last_o day_n though_o they_o live_v and_o die_v in_o sin_n hence_o say_v he_o so_o great_a a_o zeal_n may_v arise_v in_o w._n p._n against_o such_o exposition_n of_o scripture-justifications_a and_o chief_o against_o this_o phrase_n through_o christ_n answ_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v if_o w._n p._n have_v so_o great_a a_o zeal_n rise_v up_o in_o he_o chief_o against_o this_o phrase_n through_o christ_n then_o it_o follow_v that_o if_o we_o shall_v word_n the_o doctrine_n of_o justification_n so_o as_o to_o please_v will._n penn_n we_o must_v say_v that_o man_n be_v justify_v without_o christ_n but_o i_o hope_v i_o shall_v never_o make_v that_o one_o of_o the_o article_n of_o my_o creed_n but_o far_o w._n l._n say_v these_o word_n whole_o without_o we_o may_v very_o well_o satisfy_v we_o that_o they_o level_v not_o at_o scripture-justification_n but_o at_o our_o conceit_n of_o it_o reply_n then_o it_o seem_v w._n l._n conclude_v that_o justification_n by_o that_o righteousness_n christ_n fulfil_v for_o we_o whole_o without_o we_o be_v not_o a_o doctrine_n agreeable_a to_o scripture_n but_o a_o conceit_n i_o perceive_v now_o t._n h._n be_v no_o forger_n for_o w._n l._n do_v not_o only_o own_o

quaker_n howbeit_o i_o conclude_v he_o avoid_v the_o name_n for_o no_o other_o reason_n but_o that_o he_o may_v be_v the_o more_o serviceable_a in_o propagate_a their_o cause_n a_o excellent_a
