of_o his_o spirit_n who_o be_v to_o be_v our_o example_n in_o all_o thing_n it_o must_v of_o necessity_n be_v that_o the_o light_n that_o be_v in_o we_o be_v this_o judge_n and_o the_o law_n and_o

we_o and_o also_o to_o hear_v his_o church_n with_o who_o he_o dwell_v and_o that_o hear_v he_o and_o in_o who_o his_o spirit_n speak_v so_o as_o i_o say_v before_o i_o shall_v not_o go_v about_o to_o deny_v the_o authority_n of_o the_o true_a church_n but_o the_o usurp_a authority_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n i_o do_v deny_v usurp_v i_o say_v because_o she_o have_v be_v and_o here_o be_v sufficient_o prove_v not_o to_o be_v the_o true_a church_n to_o who_o christ_n give_v power_n and_o authority_n both_o to_o bind_v and_o to_o loose_v therefore_o her_o authority_n if_o usurp_v and_o she_o be_v not_o to_o be_v hear_v but_o to_o be_v turn_v away_o from_o three_o a._n s._n say_v if_o you_o object_n that_o the_o spiritual_a judge_v all_o thing_n and_o the_o spiritual_a be_v judge_v of_o no_o man_n i_o answer_v that_o the_o godly_a spiritual_n judge_v all_o thing_n etc._n etc._n but_o i_o deny_v that_o you_o or_o any_o other_o sectary_n in_o the_o world_n be_v godly_a spiritual_n for_o as_o st._n augustine_n say_v they_o have_v not_o the_o holy_a ghost_n that_o be_v out_o of_o the_o church_n reply_v to_o which_o i_o say_v that_o as_o a._n s._n have_v confess_v that_o the_o

spiritual_a but_o be_v sensual_a and_o devilish_a and_o be_v not_o the_o true_a church_n but_o the_o whore_n for_o although_o as_o he_o say_v the_o godly_a spiritual_a be_v judge_v of_o none_o yet_o the_o whore_n be_v judge_v of_o all_o who_o be_v godly_a spiritual_a and_o although_o a.s._n deny_v that_o the_o quaker_n be_v godly_a spiritual_a yet_o he_o be_v never_o able_a to_o prove_v his_o

that_o prophet_n which_o speak_v a_o thing_n and_o the_o thing_n come_v to_o pass_v that_o prophet_n be_v of_o god_n but_o the_o people_n call_v quaker_n have_v prophesy_v several_a thing_n as_o to_o

that_o it_o may_v not_o be_v so_o with_o thy_o ruler_n and_o magistrate_n oh_o nation_n as_o it_o be_v with_o ahab_n and_o that_o they_o have_v not_o so_o far_o provoke_v the_o lord_n by_o persecute_v and_o shed_v the_o blood_n of_o the_o innocent_a as_o to_o cause_v he_o to_o seal_v his_o decree_n against_o they_o or_o any_o of_o they_o as_o he_o do_v against_o ahab_n and_o i_o can_v wish_v that_o it_o may_v not_o prove_v so_o which_o i_o have_v cause_n to_o believe_v it_o will_v that_o he_o have_v give_v permission_n to_o the_o lie_a spirit_n to_o go_v in_o the_o mouth_n of_o thy_o priest_n and_o prophet_n to_o persuade_v thy_o ruler_n to_o go_v on_o in_o this_o antichristian_a work_n of_o persecute_v the_o innocent_a and_o harmless_a people_n of_o the_o lord_n thereby_o to_o fill_v up_o the_o measure_n of_o their_o father_n iniquity_n that_o so_o he_o may_v be_v avenge_v on_o they_o but_o oh_o that_o thy_o ruler_n have_v hearken_v unto_o the_o counsel_n of_o those_o who_o god_n send_v unto_o they_o who_o come_v not_o for_o filthy_a lucre_n nor_o with_o flatter_a speech_n but_o in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n declare_v his_o counsel_n in_o plainness_n and_o faithfulness_n for_o thy_o good_a but_o alas_o instead_o of_o hear_v their_o counsel_n they_o have_v do_v unto_o they_o as_o ahab_n do_v unto_o micaiah_n even_o put_v they_o in_o prison_n and_o feed_v they_o with_o the_o bread_n and_o water_n of_o affliction_n and_o thereby_o they_o have_v provoke_v the_o lord_n of_o host_n so_o that_o without_o all_o controversy_n as_o i_o say_v before_o if_o thy_o ruler_n persist_v and_o go_v on_o follow_v the_o counsel_n of_o those_o false_a prophet_n into_o who_o mouth_n the_o lie_a spirit_n be_v enter_v to_o persuade_v they_o that_o the_o way_n to_o remove_v or_o stop_v the_o present_a visitation_n of_o god_n judgement_n which_o be_v reveal_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o thou_o be_v to_o be_v severe_a in_o persecute_v and_o banish_v his_o despise_a and_o harmless_a people_n out_o of_o thy_o border_n i_o say_v if_o their_o counsel_n be_v hearken_v unto_o and_o obey_v therein_o that_o lie_a spirit_n will_v certain_o thereby_o prevail_v and_o will_v cause_v they_o to_o fall_v and_o none_o shall_v help_v they_o and_o they_o shall_v be_v break_v with_o a_o perpetual_a breath_n and_o none_o shall_v bind_v they_o up_o wherefore_o harken_v unto_o this_o you_o head_n and_o ruler_n of_o the_o nation_n of_o england_n the_o land_n of_o my_o nativity_n be_v not_o proud_a nor_o stout_a heart_a against_o the_o lord_n but_o fear_v and_o dread_v the_o almighty_a god_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n for_o he_o have_v certain_o a_o controversy_n with_o you_o and_o he_o will_v not_o at_o all_o regard_n the_o lofty_a look_n nor_o your_o proud_a carriage_n for_o he_o
