be_v so_o impudent_a as_o in_o plain_a english_a to_o call_v the_o light_n of_o christ_n a_o devilish_a light_n and_o some_o call_v it_o the_o quaker_n light_n and_o a_o insufficient_a light_n with_o

for_o they_o find_v that_o when_o people_n once_o come_v to_o walk_v in_o the_o light_n of_o christ_n and_o to_o be_v lead_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n they_o will_v have_v no_o more_o of_o

revelation_n be_v cease_v than_o salvation_n and_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n be_v cease_v and_o if_o this_o be_v true_a then_o what_o have_v priest_n to_o preach_v now_o adays_o for_o christ_n say_v no_o man_n know_v the_o father_n but_o the_o son_n and_o he_o to_o who_o the_o son_n will_v reveal_v he_o mat._n 11.27_o and_o that_o none_o come_v to_o he_o but_o by_o the_o father_n who_o christ_n the_o son_n reveal_v and_o paul_n also_o say_v that_o when_o it_o please_v god_n to_o reveal_v his_o son_n in_o he_o he_o consult_v not_o with_o flesh_n and_o blood_n but_o with_o the_o son_n who_o the_o father_n reveal_v so_o here_o its_o plain_a to_o the_o eye_n that_o see_v which_o god_n open_v that_o revelation_n be_v not_o cease_v but_o the_o son_n reveal_v the_o father_n and_o the_o father_n reveal_v the_o son_n in_o people_n as_o witness_v by_o the_o apostle_n paul_n to_o show_v to_o people_n their_o inward_a condition_n how_o it_o stand_v with_o they_o in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n and_o this_o paul_n do_v not_o see_v nor_o find_v out_o with_o all_o his_o learning_n nor_o with_o his_o great_a zeal_n or_o great_a religion_n till_o christ_n the_o light_n be_v reveal_v in_o

and_o to_o inspire_v he_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n as_o i_o have_v hint_v before_o that_o although_o there_o be_v a_o spirit_n in_o man_n yet_o it_o be_v the_o inspiration_n of_o the_o almighty_a that_o give_v a_o man_n a_o understanding_n and_o if_o it_o be_v as_o some_o say_v that_o inspiration_n be_v cease_v than_o all_o true_a understanding_n concern_v salvation_n and_o spiritual_a matter_n be_v lose_v then_o what_o need_v any_o go_v after_o the_o priest_n or_o any_o other_o professor_n if_o there_o be_v no_o knowledge_n of_o god_n or_o christ_n to_o be_v attain_v to_o away_o with_o all_o their_o blind_a and_o false_a juggle_v which_o they_o bewitch_v people_n with_o that_o they_o may_v not_o obey_v the_o truth_n it_o be_v all_o lie_n &_o delusion_n revelation_n or_o inspiration_n be_v not_o cease_v paul_n be_v since_o christ_n and_o he_o witness_v revelation_n and_o inspiration_n and_o many_o more_o since_o he_o and_o i_o believe_v christ_n and_o paul_n speak_v true_a and_o that_o the_o scripture_n be_v true_a and_o all_o that_o be_v against_o it_o be_v deceit_n and_o the_o scripture_n hold_v forth_o revelation_n and_o inspiration_n be_v not_o cease_v although_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o law_n the_o priest_n lip_n be_v appoint_v to_o preserve_v the_o people_n knowledge_n and_o the_o people_n be_v appoint_v to_o seek_v the_o law_n at_o their_o mouth_n yet_o now_o it_o be_v not_o so_o but_o every_o one_o that_o lack_v knowledge_n be_v to_o ask_v of_o god_n who_o give_v liberal_o and_o upbraid_v not_o such_o as_o ask_v in_o faith_n but_o say_v some_o you_o quaker_n do_v not_o baptise_v your_o child_n nor_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n as_o we_o do_v i_o answer_v if_o thou_o mean_v sprinkle_v of_o infant_n i_o do_v not_o believe_v that_o be_v use_v by_o any_o of_o the_o people_n of_o god_n in_o many_o age_n since_o christ_n and_o the_o apostle_n day_n and_o therefore_o i_o do_v not_o know_v why_o any_o shall_v use_v it_o see_v there_o be_v not_o any_o precedent_n in_o all_o the_o scripture_n that_o it_o be_v ever_o use_v by_o any_o of_o the_o primitive_a christian_n neither_o in_o all_o the_o scripture_n do_v i_o find_v any_o command_n of_o god_n for_o it_o and_o therefore_o why_o shall_v we_o use_v it_o beside_o i_o look_v upon_o the_o thing_n as_o it_o be_v now_o practise_v to_o be_v a_o great_a offence_n to_o god_n in_o the_o actor_n of_o it_o and_o for_o this_o reason_n which_o i_o shall_v render_v for_o when_o the_o priest_n and_o people_n meet_v together_o to_o christen_v or_o baptise_v a_o child_n as_o they_o so_o call_v it_o most_o common_o the_o parent_n of_o the_o child_n must_v get_v some_o other_o person_n as_o they_o can_v to_o stand_v for_o the_o child_n and_o there_o they_o must_v promise_n

that_o any_o such_o thing_n can_v be_v or_o such_o a_o state_n attain_v to_o now_o to_o enjoin_v people_n to_o promise_v that_o the_o child_n shall_v do_v that_o which_o they_o themselves_o do_v
