of_o the_o body_n of_o the_o quaker_n in_o general_n and_o because_o the_o image_n or_o paper_n of_o order_n may_v be_v know_v to_o the_o quaker_n in_o general_a i_o have_v here_o insert_v it_o word_n

which_o keep_v their_o habitation_n in_o the_o truth_n ought_v to_o judge_n matter_n and_o thing_n that_o differ_v and_o their_o judgement_n which_o be_v so_o give_v therein_o aught_o to_o stand_v good_a and_o value_v among_o friend_n though_o it_o be_v kick_v against_o and_o disapprove_v by_o they_o who_o have_v degenerate_v as_o aforesaid_a and_o we_o do_v further_o declare_v and_o testify_v that_o it_o be_v abominable_a pride_n which_o go_v before_o destruction_n that_o so_o puff_v up_o the_o mind_n of_o any_o particular_a that_o he_o will_v not_o admit_v of_o any_o judgement_n to_o

to_o hear_v and_o determine_v the_o same_o if_o any_o pretend_v to_o be_v of_o we_o and_o in_o case_n of_o controversy_n will_v not_o admit_v to_o be_v try_v by_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n jesus_n nor_o submit_v to_o the_o judgement_n give_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n in_o the_o elder_n and_o member_n of_o the_o same_o but_o kick_v against_o their_o judgement_n as_o only_o the_o

faith_n agreeable_a to_o the_o witness_n of_o god_n in_o his_o people_n then_o we_o do_v testify_v in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n if_o that_o judgement_n so_o give_v be_v rise_v against_o and_o

hereafter_o pretend_v to_o that_o weighty_a work_n and_o service_n who_o either_o in_o life_n or_o doctrine_n grieve_v good_a friend_n that_o be_v steadfast_a in_o the_o truth_n sound_v in_o the_o faith_n so_o that_o they_o be_v not_o manifest_a in_o their_o conscience_n but_o disagree_v to_o the_o witness_n of_o god_n in_o they_o then_o ought_v they_o whatever_o have_v be_v their_o gift_n to_o

and_o if_o they_o find_v sufficient_a cause_n for_o it_o by_o good_a testimony_n may_v judge_v they_o unfit_a for_o the_o work_n of_o god_n ministry_n whereof_o they_o
mountain_n of_o imagination_n and_o the_o light_n stand_v in_o judgement_n over_o you_o and_o also_o your_o book_n will_v be_v a_o witness_n against_o you_o and_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n in_o all_o those_o that_o serious_o read_v it_o friend_n i_o think_v it_o have_v be_v more_o suitable_a for_o you_o to_o have_v look_v back_o and_o to_o have_v consider_v some_o of_o the_o patriarch_n and_o holy_a man_n of_o god_n who_o in_o their_o day_n and_o generation_n do_v err_v you_o may_v have_v remember_v isaac_n the_o patriarch_n who_o when_o he_o have_v lose_v the_o spirit_n of_o discern_v grow_v blind_a and_o then_o he_o be_v resolve_v that_o esau_n shall_v have_v the_o blessing_n although_o it_o be_v jacob_n right_a to_o have_v it_o and_o you_o may_v have_v remember_v jacob_n who_o from_o a_o wrong_a spirit_n rebuke_v joseph_n when_o he_o tell_v his_o father_n he_o dream_v the_o sun_n the_o moon_n and_o the_o eleven_o star_n shall_v bow_v before_o he_o and_o you_o may_v have_v remember_v aaron_n and_o miriam_n who_o from_o a_o spirit_n of_o pride_n withstand_v moses_n and_o say_v have_v not_o the_o lord_n speak_v unto_o we_o as_o well_o as_o unto_o thou_o and_o you_o may_v have_v remember_v old_a ely_n who_o from_o a_o dark_a spirit_n rebuke_v hannah_n who_o be_v a_o woman_n of_o a_o sorrowful_a spirit_n and_o you_o may_v have_v remember_v job_n three_o friend_n who_o undertake_v to_o judge_n censure_n and_o condemn_v job_n but_o have_v not_o power_n to_o convince_v he_o and_o friend_n you_o write_v against_o i_o in_o page_n the_o five_o and_o six_o because_o i_o say_v whatever_o be_v write_v to_o those_o call_v church_n it_o ought_v to_o be_v write_v in_o and_o from_o the_o holy_a ghost_n for_o if_o paul_n do_v at_o any_o time_n speak_v by_o permission_n and_o not_o the_o lord_n it_o be_v but_o a_o man_n commandment_n and_o no_o man_n be_v bind_v in_o conscience_n to_o follow_v it_o for_o paul_n say_v be_v you_o follower_n of_o i_o as_o i_o be_o of_o christ_n now_o paul_n he_o baptise_a and_o he_o also_o circumcise_a but_o yet_o he_o have_v no_o commission_n to_o do_v it_o and_o so_o in_o time_n he_o preach_v it_o down_o as_o john_n do_v his_o baptism_n but_o christ_n in_o his_o day_n neither_o baptize_v nor_o circumcise_a any_o man_n wherefore_o none_o be_v to_o follow_v christ_n as_o have_v paul_n for_o their_o example_n but_o all_o be_v to_o follow_v christ_n their_o light_n within_o as_o their_o only_a rule_n to_o walk_v by_o neither_o ought_v any_o quaker_n so_o call_v man_n or_o woman_n to_o follow_v the_o light_n within_o as_o have_v your_o order_n and_o dictate_v as_o a_o rule_n and_o guide_n for_o they_o to_o walk_v by_o again_o you_o write_v against_o i_o because_o i_o say_v whatever_o be_v write_v from_o a_o sight_n or_o sense_n or_o sensible_a part_n and_o not_o from_o the_o spirit_n of_o revelation_n it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v own_v by_o the_o church_n and_o you_o write_v thus_o and_o say_v in_o your_o book_n that_o imply_v contradiction_n as_o much_o as_o if_o the_o spirit_n revelation_n shall_v put_v out_o sight_n and_o sensibility_n and_o so_o i_o will_v have_v blind_a elder_n and_o senseless_a minister_n but_o friend_n it_o be_v the_o devil_n that_o have_v power_n to_o blind_v the_o soul_n and_o understanding_n of_o man_n and_o the_o sensible_a part_n wherefore_o none_o be_v to_o write_v from_o that_o part_n in_o they_o which_o the_o serpent_n have_v power_n to_o blind_v for_o it_o be_v the_o soul_n and_o understanding_n of_o man_n that_o receive_v the_o sight_n but_o all_o be_v to_o write_v both_o in_o and_o from_o the_o spirit_n of_o revelation_n which_o alone_o have_v power_n to_o give_v the_o creature_n sight_n and_o to_o make_v people_n sensible_a of_o their_o state_n and_o condition_n and_o this_o be_v the_o holy_a ghost_n or_o spirit_n of_o god_n which_o give_v the_o true_a sight_n and_o can_v never_o blind_v it_o for_o that_o be_v the_o devil_n work_v to_o bring_v blindness_n over_o the_o mind_n of_o people_n wherefore_o if_o any_o speak_v or_o write_v as_o pretend_v to_o teach_v other_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v in_o and_o from_o the_o holy_a ghost_n for_o christ_n say_v it_o be_v not_o you_o that_o speak_v but_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o the_o apostle_n say_v if_o any_o man_n speak_v let_v he_o speak_v as_o the_o oracle_n of_o god_n and_o it_o be_v the_o spirit_n say_v paul_n that_o make_v intercession_n with_o groan_n that_o can_v be_v uter_v for_o it_o be_v the_o invisible_a soul_n and_o understanding_n that_o be_v to_o be_v baptise_a with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n now_o the_o thing_n baptise_a that_o be_v not_o to_o speak_v in_o the_o church_n because_o it_o have_v be_v both_o in_o error_n sin_n and_o transgression_n but_o the_o invisible_a man_n christ_n he_o be_v to_o speak_v in_o every_o vessel_n who_o redeem_v the_o creature_n out_o of_o transgression_n and_o not_o the_o soul_n nor_o yet_o the_o sensible_a part_n which_o have_v be_v in_o transgression_n for_o the_o priest_n of_o england_n they_o be_v sensible_a preacher_n who_o declare_v against_o the_o manifestation_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o deny_v also_o all_o revelation_n from_o god_n and_o yet_o they_o tell_v people_n that_o if_o they_o be_v sensible_a of_o their_o state_n and_o condition_n it_o be_v a_o evident_a token_n of_o their_o conversion_n but_o i_o say_v that_o all_o people_n that_o come_v true_o to_o know_v god_n they_o must_v witness_v a_o be_v gather_v into_o that_o spirit_n which_o make_v they_o true_o sensible_a and_o this_o be_v a_o child_n state_n which_o have_v past_o the_o tree_n of_o knowledge_n and_o do_v witness_n in_o measure_n of_o be_v possess_v of_o the_o tree_n of_o life_n and_o you_o say_v that_o i_o run_v on_o in_o my_o

the_o first_o testimony_n that_o be_v then_o found_v among_o the_o people_n by_o the_o quaker_n it_o be_v thus_o all_o people_n mind_n the_o light_n within_o you_o turn_v to_o the_o light_n within_o
