justification_n be_v by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n or_o by_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n through_o faith_n which_o question_n can_v not_o in_o these_o general_a term_n so_o reach_v the_o controversy_n between_o we_o as_o the_o question_n we_o propose_v these_o priest_n hold_v that_o man_n be_v imputative_o righteous_a and_o justify_v when_o actual_o sinner_n and_o we_o hold_v the_o contrary_a that_o man_n be_v justify_v when_o real_o and_o actual_o righteous_a or_o partaker_n of_o the_o righteousness_n of_o faith_n in_o christ_n wherein_o they_o be_v obedient_a to_o the_o word_n or_o spirit_n of_o god_n in_o their_o heart_n to_o which_o the_o righteousness_n of_o faith_n require_v obedience_n and_o we_o further_o affirm_v that_o it_o be_v a_o false_a imputation_n to_o reckon_v man_n righteous_a or_o just_a whilst_o they_o be_v real_o or_o personal_o unrighteous_a and_o unjust_a for_o the_o faith_n that_o be_v reckon_v to_o abraham_n and_o by_o which_o the_o believer_n be_v justify_v be_v a_o live_a faith_n that_o purify_v the_o heart_n and_o that_o be_v accompany_v with_o those_o work_n of_o obedience_n which_o answer_v the_o law_n of_o faith_n in_o the_o heart_n moreover_o to_o these_o question_n before_o s._n s._n add_v three_o more_o as_o in_o the_o first_o place_n whether_o the_o scripture_n be_v not_o to_o be_v our_o rule_n of_o life_n to_o which_o we_o affirm_v not_o the_o write_n but_o the_o thing_n write_v of_o to_o wit_n the_o same_o that_o be_v the_o saint_n rule_v in_o all_o age_n or_o the_o spirit_n and_o light_n of_o christ_n within_o which_o give_v forth_o the_o scripture_n and_o bring_v to_o the_o right_a understanding_n true_a use_n and_o fulfil_n of_o they_o and_o without_o which_o light_a people_n can_v true_o understand_v they_o then_o s._n s._n add_v for_o the_o two_o last_o query_n viz._n whether_o baptism_n with_o water_n be_v a_o ordinance_n of_o christ_n which_o he_o affirm_v though_o he_o dare_v not_o tell_v we_o whether_o babe_n or_o believer_n be_v to_o be_v the_o subject_n of_o it_o or_o whether_o he_o be_v a_o true_a administrator_n of_o it_o for_o when_o g._n w._n in_o a_o letter_n will_v have_v put_v he_o to_o prove_v his_o call_n to_o the_o ministry_n and_o whether_o he_o own_a immediate_a revelation_n in_o these_o day_n he_o must_v have_v george_n to_o prove_v his_o call_n first_o thus_o he_o shuffle_v and_o then_o his_o last_o question_n be_v whether_o the_o lord_n supper_n be_v not_o a_o ordinance_n of_o christ_n bind_v we_o this_o question_v we_o get_v not_o to_o to_o discuss_v nor_o do_v he_o explain_v what_o he_o mean_v by_o the_o lord_n supper_n howbeit_o he_o have_v tell_v g._n w._n in_o a_o paper_n that_o this_o light_n within_o do_v not_o dictate_v that_o baptism_n by_o water_n be_v god_n will_n nor_o that_o we_o ought_v to_o celebrate_v the_o lord_n supper_n etc._n etc._n so_o that_o you_o the_o hearer_n and_o follower_n of_o this_o s._n s._n may_v take_v notice_n that_o if_o he_o do_v celebrate_v as_o he_o popish_o say_v and_o deliver_v to_o you_o bread_n and_o wine_n and_o tell_v you_o it_o be_v the_o lord_n supper_n he_o be_v not_o lead_v to_o it_o by_o the_o dictate_v of_o the_o light_n within_o which_o he_o have_v confess_v to_o be_v the_o light_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o we_o may_v conclude_v his_o pretend_a celebration_n and_o ordinance_n not_o bind_v to_o we_o because_o the_o light_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n do_v not_o enjoin_v we_o to_o it_o for_o we_o must_v worship_v in_o the_o newness_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o we_o know_v the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n lead_v into_o all_o truth_n so_o that_o what_o be_v of_o truth_n the_o light_n dictate_v to_o we_o and_o therefore_o we_o must_v not_o follow_v priest_n s._n s._n his_o darkness_n for_o our_o dictator_n or_o guide_n second_o if_o sprinkle_v infant_n be_v a_o part_n of_o his_o trade_n in_o house_n and_o corner_n you_o may_v understand_v that_o the_o light_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n do_v not_o dictate_v it_o unto_o he_o and_o therefore_o you_o will_v be_v exceed_o blind_a and_o dark_a if_o you_o give_v yourselves_o to_o be_v bind_v to_o submit_v to_o his_o darkness_n or_o to_o any_o of_o his_o imposition_n which_o be_v neither_o scriptural_a nor_o spiritual_a therefore_o we_o caution_n you_o not_o
