christian_n to_o offer_v in_o my_o defence_n and_o justification_n one_a that_o when_o i_o reflect_v on_o jo._n bunyan_n groan_n i_o do_v it_o only_o to_o show_v his_o false_a and_o absurd_a

all_o these_o be_v wonderful_a conversion_n and_o extraordinary_a effusion_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n so_o little_a authority_n from_o the_o scripture_n have_v any_o dissenter_n for_o the_o

confident_o pretend_v to_o pray_v thus_o by_o the_o spirit_n and_o yet_o pray_v one_o against_o another_o be_v a_o sufficient_a confutation_n of_o it_o for_o the_o holy_a spirit_n be_v one_o and_o not_o contrary_a to_o himself_o and_o all_o his_o intercession_n for_o the_o saint_n be_v to_o the_o same_o end_n in_o the_o same_o manner_n and_o according_a to_o the_o same_o good_a will_n and_o
