base_a and_o vile_a and_o such_o as_o take_v tithe_n and_o be_v proud_a ignorant_a idle_a blind_a priest_n such_o as_o be_v for_o gain_n that_o feed_v themselves_o and_o not_o the_o flock_n that_o go_v before_o they_o be_v send_v that_o teach_v for_o hire_v and_o the_o like_a the_o second_o thing_n be_v to_o take_v off_o those_o thing_n that_o have_v be_v lay_v to_o my_o charge_n by_o some_o concerning_o my_o first_o book_n which_o be_v these_o first_o they_o affirm_v that_o i_o say_v in_o my_o book_n that_o i_o take_v heaven_n to_o be_v the_o light_n and_o glory_n of_o god_n which_o be_v true_a and_o that_o satan_n in_o heaven_n be_v satan_n in_o the_o very_a light_n and_o glory_n of_o god_n which_o i_o deny_v for_o it_o be_v a_o impossible_a thing_n and_o can_v be_v though_o this_o i_o can_v but_o subscribe_v to_o that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o he_o will_v administer_v to_o soul_n in_o that_o state_n and_o teach_v soul_n to_o make_v false_a application_n and_o misapprehension_n of_o thing_n and_o beside_o if_o they_o will_v look_v diligent_o into_o my_o book_n and_o search_v narrow_o how_o thing_n be_v speak_v there_o they_o will_v find_v that_o i_o speak_v a_o quite_o contrary_a thing_n for_o i_o say_v that_o satan_n in_o heaven_n be_v satan_n in_o glory_n and_o satan_n in_o glory_n be_v satan_n in_o a_o angel_n of_o light_n as_o in_o these_o word_n and_o there_o appear_v another_o wonder_n in_o heaven_n the_o meaning_n be_v not_o that_o there_o appear_v real_o a_o great_a red_a dragon_n in_o the_o light_n and_o glory_n of_o god_n but_o the_o meaning_n be_v john_n be_v take_v up_o by_o the_o spirit_n into_o heaven_n that_o be_v into_o the_o light_n and_o glory_n of_o god_n he_o see_v the_o appearance_n of_o the_o great_a red_a dragon_n there_o but_o not_o real_o the_o dragon_n in_o the_o very_a light_n and_o glory_n of_o god_n the_o second_o thing_n that_o they_o lie_v to_o my_o charge_n be_v the_o title_n of_o my_o last_o book_n which_o be_v a_o wonder_n and_o no_o wonder_n they_o admire_v how_o i_o can_v make_v that_o which_o be_v a_o wonder_n to_o be_v no_o wonder_n this_o be_v a_o poor_a thing_n to_o give_v a_o answer_n to_o but_o i_o will_v satisfy_v they_o so_o far_o as_o to_o tell_v they_o i_o make_v a_o wonder_n no_o wonder_n thus_o it_o be_v a_o wonder_n to_o those_o that_o be_v not_o acquaint_v with_o what_o satan_n in_o heaven_n be_v for_o they_o stand_v and_o admire_v at_o the_o thing_n but_o it_o be_v not_o a_o wonder_n to_o those_o that_o know_v what_o satan_n in_o heaven_n be_v they_o do_v not_o admire_v neither_o do_v they_o at_o all_o wonder_n at_o it_o because_o they_o know_v it_o and_o be_v well_o acquaint_v with_o it_o and_o the_o reason_n wherefore_o john_n call_v it_o a_o wonder_n be_v because_o he_o know_v not_o what_o satan_n in_o heaven_n be_v he_o be_v not_o acquaint_v with_o satan_n in_o a_o angel_n of_o light_n consider_v that_o place_n in_o 2_o cor._n 11._o 14_o and_o no_o marvel_v for_o satan_n himself_o be_v change_v into_o a_o angel_n of_o light_n the_o rest_n of_o the_o thing_n they_o lie_v to_o my_o charge_n be_v word_n in_o my_o book_n which_o be_v false_o print_v for_o which_o the_o printer_n indeed_o be_v to_o be_v blame_v not_o i_o the_o three_o thing_n that_o move_v i_o to_o write_v this_o postscript_n be_v to_o answer_v a_o poor_a weak_a say_n of_o one_o who_o i_o forbear_v to_o name_n which_o be_v this_o there_o be_v many_o that_o take_v upon_o they_o to_o write_v now_o a_o day_n but_o i_o know_v no_o warrant_n for_o any_o of_o they_o to_o write_v see_v there_o be_v so_o many_o learned_a able_a and_o godly_a man_n that_o do_v write_v unless_o they_o can_v write_v some_o new_a truth_n that_o be_v never_o hear_v of_o before_o to_o the_o first_o i_o ask_v you_o this_o be_v all_o truth_n in_o learned_a godly_a man_n have_v none_o but_o they_o a_o warrant_v to_o write_v may_v not_o a_o child_n of_o god_n that_o have_v no_o learning_n at_o all_o be_v endue_v with_o the_o spirit_n and_o power_n from_o on_o high_a and_o so_o be_v make_v as_o fit_v as_o they_o to_o preach_v and_o write_v be_v not_o the_o same_o spirit_n in_o one_o as_o in_o the_o other_o certain_o you_o have_v lose_v your_o sense_n you_o seem_v to_o hold_v that_o which_o many_o ignorant_a priest_n do_v that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o none_o be_v so_o able_a to_o deliver_v and_o write_v truth_n as_o themselves_o be_v i_o be_o sure_a that_o godly_a learned_a man_n will_v not_o assume_v this_o to_o themselves_o but_o will_v esteem_v other_o above_o themselves_o there_o be_v that_o reveal_v many_o time_n to_o a_o poor_a ignorant_a weak_a christian_a that_o learned_a christian_n be_v ignorant_a of_o and_o i_o have_v see_v that_o write_v by_o a_o babe_n the_o like_a whereof_o i_o never_o see_v come_v from_o learned_a professor_n though_o they_o be_v godly_a i_o speak_v not_o this_o to_o discourage_v they_o or_o to_o set_v light_n by_o they_o but_o to_o take_v off_o partiality_n and_o my_o end_n in_o answer_v the_o foresay_a say_n be_v god_n know_v that_o those_o that_o hear_v it_o may_v not_o be_v lead_v aside_o by_o it_o but_o that_o they_o may_v see_v the_o vanity_n of_o it_o and_o that_o it_o proceed_v either_o from_o ignorance_n or_o envy_n to_o the_o second_o i_o say_v there_o be_v no_o truth_n new_a that_o be_v to_o be_v write_v but_o that_o which_o be_v write_v and_o shall_v be_v write_v be_v the_o old_a truth_n it_o be_v true_a in_o one_o sense_n old_a truth_n may_v be_v new_a as_o in_o that_o sense_n i_o write_v to_o you_o a_o new_a commandment_n it_o be_v new_a to_o they_o because_o they_o have_v not_o practise_v it_o before_o but_o yet_o it_o be_v the_o old_a commandment_n which_o be_v that_o they_o shall_v love_v one_o another_o now_o he_o that_o write_v must_v write_v old_a truth_n that_o be_v heretofore_o or_o else_o he_o must_v write_v a_o lie_n there_o be_v nothing_o new_a under_o the_o sun_n there_o be_v many_o hide_a old_a truth_n which_o you_o and_o other_o know_v not_o though_o you_o and_o other_o think_v you_o know_v they_o and_o therefore_o they_o may_v write_v they_o and_o declare_v they_o if_o they_o
