salvation_n with_o fear_n and_o tremble_a say_v it_o be_v god_n that_o work_v in_o you_o to_o will_n and_o to_o do_v of_o his_o own_o good_a pleasure_n now_o the_o word_n which_o i_o have_v here_o bring_v out_o of_o paul_n epistle_n with_o much_o more_o of_o the_o like_a nature_n that_o may_v be_v find_v in_o they_o which_o for_o brevity_n i_o here_o omit_v do_v and_o will_v plain_o show_v that_o he_o do_v never_o intend_v in_o his_o writing_n against_o the_o shadowy_a work_n of_o the_o law_n to_o exclude_v deny_v or_o make_v void_a the_o substantial_a good_a and_o live_a work_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n in_o his_o people_n under_o the_o gospel_n dispensation_n so_o that_o he_o be_v of_o the_o same_o mind_n concern_v faith_n and_o work_n with_o james_n peter_n and_o john_n so_o here_o be_v four_o faithful_a and_o honourable_a witness_n link_v together_o in_o testimony_n to_o the_o live_a faith_n which_o god_n work_v in_o his_o people_n and_o the_o live_a work_n and_o fruit_n which_o accompany_v it_o glory_n to_o the_o lord_n god_n for_o the_o same_o and_o those_o four_o faithful_a witness_n to_o the_o live_a faith_n its_o fruit_n and_o work_n as_o aforesaid_a be_v also_o

continue_v therein_o all_o their_o day_n upon_o earth_n their_o dead_a faith_n have_v not_o give_v they_o victory_n over_o the_o world_n neither_o can_v it_o for_o as_o they_o be_v teach_v by_o the_o

to_o destruction_n oh_o that_o they_o will_v turn_v in_o their_o mind_n to_o the_o light_n of_o christ_n jesus_n and_o believe_v in_o it_o and_o diligent_o seek_v a_o place_n of_o repentance_n that_o they_o may_v find_v it_o and_o so_o return_v to_o god_n from_o satan_n and_o their_o sin_n which_o while_o they_o abide_v in_o subjection_n to_o hold_v they_o in_o a_o separation_n from_o god_n from_o

the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n and_o of_o his_o christ_n which_o consist_v or_o stand_v in_o righteousness_n peace_n and_o joy_n in_o the_o holy_a ghost_n for_o through_o the_o righteous_a and_o fiery_a

come_v through_o wherewith_o christ_n jesus_n the_o power_n and_o wisdom_n of_o god_n baptize_v all_o who_o believe_v in_o he_o and_o in_o his_o divine_a light_n patient_o and_o constant_o wait_v to_o

again_o observe_v that_o if_o any_o person_n profess_v to_o be_v lead_v and_o guide_v by_o the_o divine_a light_n of_o christ_n within_o and_o that_o he_o or_o she_o believe_v the_o beforementioned_a

sinful_a conversation_n whether_o they_o be_v call_v quaker_n or_o by_o what_o other_o name_n soever_o their_o sin_n be_v not_o less_o but_o much_o more_o grievous_a to_o almighty_a god_n than_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o beforementioned_a who_o have_v not_o yet_o come_v to_o be_v open_v so_o far_o as_o to_o understand_v what_o the_o light_n of_o christ_n within_o be_v therefore_o do_v not_o make_v profession_n to_o be_v teach_v and_o guide_v by_o it_o but_o those_o loose_a and_o sinful_a professor_n of_o the_o light_n of_o christ_n within_o if_o they_o do_v ever_o real_o come_v to_o the_o light_n they_o make_v profession_n of_o and_o in_o any_o measure_n obey_v it_o than_o be_v their_o heart_n open_v thereby_o to_o understand_v and_o know_v sin_n and_o the_o displeasure_n of_o god_n against_o it_o more_o than_o the_o beforementioned_a and_o so_o the_o judgement_n of_o god_n will_v fall_v more_o heavy_a on_o they_o if_o they_o repent_v not_o and_o come_v not_o to_o walk_v orderly_o as_o become_v the_o gospel_n than_o upon_o other_o who_o have_v not_o know_v so_o much_o as_o they_o have_v know_v and_o therefore_o be_v not_o guilty_a of_o the_o sin_n of_o rebellion_n
