word_n shall_v be_v thy_o burden_n and_o thou_o have_v here_o discover_v what_o spirit_n thou_o be_v of_o who_o with_o thy_o multitude_n of_o word_n which_o darken_v counsel_n and_o pervert_v the_o simple_a have_v go_v about_o to_o manage_v deceit_n and_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v to_o be_v repent_v of_o which_o be_v not_o of_o the_o truth_n and_o it_o be_v well_o if_o repentance_n be_v not_o too_o late_o for_o thou_o as_o thou_o say_v but_o if_o thou_o have_v be_v in_o that_o spirit_n which_o the_o righteous_a be_v lead_v by_o thou_o will_v have_v use_v few_o word_n and_o to_o more_o

also_o in_o thy_o narrative_a upon_o thy_o agree_v to_o dispute_v with_o we_o in_o a_o loose_a or_o disorderly_a discourse_n which_o false_o thou_o have_v charge_v we_o with_o which_o thou_o be_v resolve_v to_o speak_v to_o we_o in_o as_o thou_o have_v confess_v that_o the_o devil_n may_v be_v beat_v at_o his_o own_o weapon_n and_o outshoot_v in_o his_o own_o bow_n etc._n etc._n ans_fw-fr to_o which_o i_o answer_v then_o its_o evident_a that_o thou_o have_v take_v up_o the_o devil_n bow_v to_o shoot_v in_o &_o have_v shoot_v in_o the_o devil_n bow_n as_o hereafter_o appear_v be_v ever_o the_o like_a do_v ever_o any_o of_o the_o gospel-minister_n seek_v to_o out-shoot_a the_o devil_n in_o his_o own_o bow_n nay_o the_o true_a minister_n make_v war_n against_o the_o devil_n with_o the_o

place_n 2_o cor._n 10.4_o eph._n 6.11_o 12._o so_o they_o do_v not_o shoot_v in_o the_o devil_n bow_n as_o this_o priest_n have_v do_v and_o true_o it_o be_v no_o marvel_n that_o these_o priest_n and_o their_o hearer_n be_v so_o sinful_a as_o they_o be_v and_o plead_v so_o much_o for_o fin_n against_o perfection_n and_o freedom_n from_o sin_n in_o this_o life_n as_o they_o do_v see_v that_o the_o priest_n be_v but_o shoot_v in_o the_o devil_n bow_v yet_o whereby_o they_o can_v never_o slay_v the_o devil_n nor_o cast_v down_o wickedness_n but_o still_o he_o be_v alive_a in_o they_o his_o work_n which_o be_v fin_n remain_v in_o they_o and_o they_o be_v in_o his_o work_n and_o while_o they_o shoot_v the_o devil_n bow_v they_o shoot_v against_o the_o truth_n and_o against_o such_o as_o be_v in_o it_o as_o the_o wicked_a do_v who_o shoot_v their_o arrow_n even_o bitter_a word_n against_o the_o righteous_a and_o now_o omit_v many_o absurdity_n and_o unsavoury_a word_n &_o

in_o our_o name_n and_o answer_v his_o own_o word_n which_o he_o count_v we_o which_o we_o never_o speak_v i._o concern_v the_o light_n of_o christ_n thomas_n danson_n the_o priest_n say_v the_o light_n mention_v viz._n natural_a and_o supernatural_a light_n be_v two_o and_o though_o all_o have_v the_o one_o yet_o but_o few_o have_v the_o other_o answ_n the_o life_n of_o christ_n be_v the_o light_n of_o man_n and_o that_o be_v not_o natural_a but_o spiritual_a &_o he_o be_v the_o true_a light_n which_o inlighten_v every_o man_n that_o come_v into_o the_o world_n john_n 1.9_o so_o if_o they_o be_v come_v into_o the_o world_n they_o be_v enlighten_v by_o christ_n which_o light_n bring_v salvation_n to_o they_o that_o love_v it_o and_o condemnation_n to_o they_o that_o hate_v it_o and_o thou_o may_v as_o well_o count_v the_o life_n of_o christ_n natural_a as_o count_v it_o so_o for_o it_o be_v the_o life_n that_o be_v in_o christ_n which_o light_v every_o man_n in_o the_o

that_o be_v false_a he_o say_v no_o such_o thing_n for_o i_o be_v present_a and_o hear_v what_o he_o say_v for_o the_o light_n have_v comprehend_v thou_o but_o thou_o be_v not_o come_v into_o it_o nor_o have_v comprehend_v it_o for_o darkness_n comprehend_v not_o the_o light_n though_o the_o light_n shine_v in_o darkness_n john_n 1.5_o tho._n danson_n also_o have_v charge_v we_o with_o consent_v that_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v vouchsafe_v by_o christ_n to_o every_o man_n answ_n no_o such_o thing_n do_v we_o consent_v to_o as_o that_o every_o man_n have_v the_o

here_o he_o have_v confute_v himself_o for_o if_o these_o statute_n and_o judgement_n be_v the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o gospel_n why_o do_v israel_n not_o know_v they_o who_o have_v they_o and_o if_o
