the_o beast_n in_o the_o nation_n have_v only_o change_v their_o taskmaster_n and_o whereas_o of_o old_a they_o have_v but_o one_o in_o many_o mile_n now_o they_o feel_v the_o scourge_n of_o one_o

many_o groundless_a distinction_n to_o which_o be_v not_o to_o the_o thing_n speak_v to_o i_o shall_v not_o spend_v time_n to_o make_v reply_n only_o by_o the_o way_n i_o shall_v note_v two_o thing_n with_o which_o you_o false_o accuse_v i_o 1._o the_o first_o be_v that_o i_o inveigh_v against_o humane_a learning_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o i_o neither_o do_v nor_o do_v inveigh_v against_o humane_a learning_n let_v it_o stand_v where_o it_o shall_v and_o i_o be_o very_a well_o content_a if_o any_o man_n say_v a_o tile-stone_n be_v not_o fit_a for_o to_o make_v a_o foundation_n stone_n for_o a_o building_n must_v it_o present_o be_v conclude_v that_o he_o deny_v the_o use_n of_o tile-stone_n the_o great_a measure_n of_o humane_a learning_n can_v render_v the_o carnal_a man_n spiritual_a which_o you_o yourself_o be_v constrain_v to_o acknowledge_v but_o do_v leave_v he_o still_o carnal_a who_o be_v shut_v out_o for_o ever_o from_o discern_v the_o thing_n of_o god_n the_o mystery_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n be_v hide_v from_o the_o wise_a and_o prudent_a and_o reveal_v unto_o babe_n paul_n with_o all_o his_o learning_n persecute_v jesus_n christ_n as_o many_o do_v at_o this_o day_n neither_o do_v all_o that_o which_o he_o have_v get_v at_o the_o foot_n of_o gamaliell_n advance_v he_o one_o step_n near_o to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n of_o who_o he_o be_v as_o ignorant_a as_o the_o most_o unlearned_a person_n under_o heaven_n until_o the_o lord_n reveal_v he_o unto_o he_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n to_o know_v who_o be_v eternal_a life_n can_v never_o be_v gain_v by_o study_n for_o no_o man_n know_v the_o son_n but_o the_o father_n neither_o know_v any_o man_n the_o father_n save_v the_o son_n and_o he_o to_o whosoever_o the_o son_n will_v reveal_v he_o there_o be_v nothing_o more_o manifest_a than_o this_o that_o many_o in_o this_o and_o the_o bypass_a age_n which_o have_v pretend_v to_o seek_v christ_n by_o much_o study_n have_v and_o do_v imprison_v and_o crucify_v he_o where_o they_o find_v he_o 2_o you_o accuse_v i_o with_o seek_v to_o justify_v absurd_a tenant_n to_o which_o i_o shall_v only_o say_v that_o i_o seek_v to_o justify_v no_o tenant_n but_o such_o as_o also_o the_o scripture_n do_v justify_v and_o if_o you_o call_v such_o absurd_a tenant_n i_o do_v then_o indeed_o seek_v to_o justify_v tenant_n that_o be_v absurd_a it_o be_v no_o rare_a thing_n with_o you_o that_o pretend_v yourselves_o leader_n to_o the_o people_n to_o esteem_v any_o thing_n a_o absurd_a tenent_n though_o never_o so_o clear_o own_v by_o the_o scripture_n that_o cross_v your_o gain_n or_o your_o glory_n and_o therefore_o until_o you_o can_v prove_v that_o whereof_o you_o accuse_v i_o i_o shall_v pass_v it_o over_o as_o a_o scandal_n that_o you_o have_v ready_a to_o throw_v upon_o any_o man_n that_o have_v so_o much_o honesty_n and_o courage_n as_o to_o bear_v testimony_n against_o all_o your_o false_a way_n and_o worship_n many_o more_o expression_n you_o add_v touch_v learning_n which_o do_v not_o at_o all_o answer_v my_o query_n repeat_v again_o that_o distinction_n of_o a_o ordinary_a and_o extraordinary_a call_n to_o which_o the_o scripture_n be_v whole_o a_o stranger_n i_o shall_v pass_v it_o over_o as_o that_o which_o deserve_v no_o other_o answer_v but_o to_o be_v disow_v after_o this_o you_o come_v to_o speak_v of_o the_o light_n within_o its_o lead_n to_o justification_n those_o that_o be_v teach_v by_o it_o upon_o which_o you_o come_v to_o suppose_v a_o meaning_n and_o say_v that_o the_o light_n they_o speak_v of_o they_o make_v to_o be_v a_o light_n enlighten_v every_o one_o that_o come_v into_o the_o world_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o if_o they_o make_v no_o more_o of_o that_o light_n then_o the_o scripture_n make_v of_o it_o they_o be_v not_o therein_o find_v err_v from_o the_o truth_n now_o
