the_o first_o objection_n that_o meet_v i_o ask_v how_o and_o after_o what_o manner_n be_v these_o great_a and_o deep_a mystery_n reveal_v and_o make_v know_v for_o we_o be_v in_o doubt_n whether_o any_o since_o the_o apostle_n day_n can_v have_v so_o pure_a and_o clear_a a_o discovery_n of_o the_o mind_n of_o god_n by_o way_n of_o vision_n or_o revelation_n as_o to_o this_o i_o answer_v the_o thing_n be_v weighty_a and_o may_v be_v allow_v of_o to_o search_v and_o follow_v this_o query_n close_a and_o home_n for_o too_o many_o there_o be_v that_o be_v pretender_n to_o the_o gift_n of_o prophecy_n and_o revelation_n whereby_o they_o put_v a_o cheat_n upon_o themselves_o and_o other_o and_o bring_v themselves_o under_o that_o woe_n of_o take_v up_o the_o lord_n spirit_n for_o their_o cover_n which_o be_v the_o great_a of_o all_o evil_n to_o be_v under_o a_o spiritual_a fraud_n therefore_o i_o say_v let_v every_o one_o search_n try_v and_o examine_v from_o what_o ground_n and_o spirit_n they_o come_v forth_o as_o the_o oracle_n of_o god_n to_o give_v his_o mind_n out_o for_o assure_o they_o will_v be_v call_v to_o a_o severe_a account_n by_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n now_o

and_o voice_n in_o his_o day_n since_o christ_n the_o lord_n ascend_v than_o what_o it_o be_v before_o when_o as_o the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n come_v express_o to_o the_o patriarch_n and_o

in_o these_o last_o day_n he_o speak_v to_o we_o by_o the_o spirit_n of_o his_o son_n which_o be_v the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n and_o comforter_n that_o be_v the_o spirit_n we_o be_v to_o try_v and_o

and_o also_o to_o sequester_v myself_o from_o all_o worldly_a conversation_n and_o give_v up_o spirit_n soul_n and_o body_n in_o pure_a dedication_n the_o which_o i_o can_v say_v in_o my_o measure_n i_o have_v be_v obedient_a to_o and_o have_v find_v good_a thing_n as_o to_o the_o spiritual_a part_n have_v accrue_v thereby_o which_o i_o shall_v never_o have_v cause_n to_o repent_v of_o let_v my_o

to_o the_o flow_a spring_n of_o wisdom_n and_o revelation_n within_o from_o whence_o the_o certainty_n of_o the_o true_a prophet_n be_v to_o be_v know_v therefore_o let_v every_o one_o look_v to_o
