endure_v but_o enstrange_n itself_o from_o darkness_n from_o whence_o whoredom_n have_v its_o first_o original_n light_n be_v so_o pure_a that_o it_o will_v not_o lodge_v with_o two_o but_o tread_v

for_o thou_o neither_o can_v thou_o upon_o the_o bare_a report_n hereof_o say_v well_o if_o it_o be_v but_o as_o man_n esteem_v it_o than_o i_o will_v esteem_v it_o so_o too_o alas_o friend_n let_v i_o tell_v thou_o whatever_o thy_o tongue_n say_v yet_o thy_o imagination_n in_o thou_o declare_v sad_a thing_n against_o thou_o in_o that_o thou_o esteem_v they_o act_n of_o sin_n thy_o imagination_n will_v torment_v thou_o for_o this_o sin_n in_o that_o thou_o condemne_v thyself_o thou_o be_v torment_v in_o that_o condemnation_n with_o endless_a misery_n so_o that_o i_o say_v happy_a be_v the_o

thou_o shall_v not_o be_v condemn_v for_o say_v the_o history_n out_o of_o thy_o own_o mouth_n not_o another_o will_n i_o judge_v thou_o therefore_o remember_v that_o if_o thou_o judge_v not_o

be_v no_o power_n but_o of_o god_n and_o the_o power_n that_o be_v be_v ordain_v of_o god_n from_o hence_o you_o may_v observe_v the_o connexion_n hereof_o run_v in_o the_o plural_a not_o power_n but_o power_n a_o power_n of_o darkness_n a_o power_n of_o light_n a_o power_n in_o the_o wicked_a a_o power_n in_o the_o godly_a yet_o you_o have_v hold_v forth_o in_o the_o same_o scripture_n but_o one_o god_n so_o then_o as_o it_o have_v be_v prove_v and_o i_o believe_v by_o you_o all_o will_v be_v grant_v that_o the_o power_n of_o light_n life_n and_o salvation_n come_v from_o god_n the_o

be_v a_o great_a power_n as_o say_v the_o prophet_n i_o have_v see_v the_o wicked_a in_o great_a power_n instance_n the_o power_n in_o esau_n in_o pharaoh_n the_o power_n in_o herod_n and_o pilate_n by_o which_o they_o crucify_v christ_n from_o who_o come_v this_o power_n the_o scripture_n say_v from_o above_o to_o wit_n from_o god_n yet_o this_o be_v the_o power_n of_o darkness_n of_o sin_n be_v it_o not_o a_o sinful_a act_n to_o crucify_v christ_n that_o i_o know_v you_o will_v all_o conclude_v it_o be_v a_o wicked_a act_n and_o yet_o this_o act_n be_v according_a to_o the_o will_n of_o

they_o gather_v together_o what_o to_o do_v nothing_o but_o what_o thy_o hand_n and_o thy_o council_n determine_v before_o to_o be_v do_v well_o friend_n consider_v this_o power_n in_o pilate_n be_v a_o dark_a sinful_a power_n yet_o it_o come_v from_o god_n yea_o it_o be_v the_o power_n of_o god_n as_o be_v record_v i_o form_n light_n i_o create_v darkness_n i_o form_n peace_n i_o create_v evil_a so_o that_o let_v it_o be_v a_o power_n whatsoever_o in_o whosoever_o whether_o in_o flesh_n or_o spirit_n wicked_a or_o godly_a it_o be_v the_o power_n of_o god_n yea_o come_v from_o god_n so_o that_o in_o time_n he_o will_v make_v this_o power_n of_o darkness_n a_o power_n of_o light_n that_o whereas_o you_o have_v call_v and_o condemn_v one_o power_n for_o a_o dark_a sinful_a power_n you_o shall_v have_v it_o appear_v to_o you_o as_o now_o it_o be_v to_o i_o that_o it_o be_v a_o power_n of_o light_n for_o you_o hear_v this_o power_n come_v from_o god_n this_o power_n of_o darkness_n ye●●●d_n be_v light_a and_o in_o he_o be_v no_o darkness_n so_o that_o consider_v though_o two_o power_n yet_o they_o have_v but_o one_o womb_n one_o birth_n ●o_o both_o twin_n both_o brethren_n as_o
