their_o own_o gather_a knowledge_n may_v speak_v peace_n to_o they_o but_o this_o will_v not_o thus_o the_o jew_n can_v speak_v peace_n to_o themselves_o from_o their_o temple_n ordinance_n and_o

not_o speak_v peace_n so_o but_o only_o where_o the_o virtue_n of_o the_o live_a blood_n be_v feel_v cleanse_v away_o the_o sin_n q._n but_o there_o be_v many_o professor_n strict_a professor_n who_o

1._o because_o they_o be_v fall_v from_o what_o they_o once_o have_v for_o if_o they_o be_v in_o that_o live_a principle_n which_o once_o give_v they_o a_o true_a taste_n of_o life_n through_o the_o

how_o to_o turn_v to_o it_o and_o abide_v in_o it_o 2._o the_o light_n be_v a_o witness_n against_o all_o their_o knowledge_n and_o religious_a practice_n &_o imitation_n from_o the_o scripture_n
