with_o false_a doctrine_n and_o a_o mover_n of_o sedition_n and_o what_o not_o as_o you_o may_v see_v at_o large_a in_o a_o book_n in_o manuscript_n in_o which_o be_v all_o their_o proceed_v too_o

i_o may_v first_o give_v a_o hint_n at_o the_o manner_n of_o their_o work_n j●hn_n wheelwright_n preach_v of_o a_o light_n in_o man_n and_o of_o a_o spirit_n in_o man_n at_o which_o new-england_n be_v in_o a_o uproar_v and_o much_o trouble_v as_o herod_n and_o all_o judea_n be_v when_o they_o hear_v of_o christ_n jesus_n who_o be_v the_o ●ight_a come_v into_o the_o world_n so_o a_o jezebel_n fast_a as_o you_o shall_v see_v anon_o be_v proclaim_v under_o pretence_n to_o seek_v god_n in_o this_o day_n of_o trouble_n the_o fast_o be_v keep_v ●n_o the_o 16_o day_n of_o the_o 11_o month_n 1636._o and_o this_o pestilent_a man_n as_o they_o deem_v he_o john_n wheelwright_n must_v preach_v at_o b●ston_n before_o the_o wolf_n in_o sheep_n clothing_n and_o indeed_o however_o it_o have_v be_v or_o may_v be_v with_o he_o since_o the_o man_n then_o speak_v and_o preach_v many_o sound_a truth_n i_o will_v here_o insert_v some_o of_o his_o sermon_n and_o let_v the_o reader_n judge_n he_o exhort_v the_o brethren_n and_o sister_n to_o get_v christ_n into_o their_o heart_n that_o they_o may_v be_v happy_a and_o exhort_v his_o brethren_n and_o sister_n in_o the_o name_n of_o god_n to_o endeavour_v to_o bring_v christ_n into_o the_o heart_n of_o people_n and_o then_o say_v he_o you_o shall_v make_v the_o church_n and_o yourselves_o happy_a and_o also_o say_v that_o as_o soon_o as_o christ_n come_v into_o the_o soul_n he_o make_v the_o creature_n nothing_o and_o say_v he_o in_o the_o gospel_n work_v of_o sanctification_n must_v be_v press_v no_o other_o way_n but_o as_o they_o grow_v from_o the_o root_n christ_n jesus_n for_o it_o be_v he_o that_o work_v in_o you_o both_o to_o will_v and_o to_o do_v of_o his_o own_o good_a pleasure_n and_o say_v he_o this_o be_v the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n i_o will_v forgive_v their_o sin_n and_o write_v my_o law_n in_o their_o heart_n and_o inward_a part_n and_o that_o be_v the_o gospel_n in_o which_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n be_v convey_v etc._n etc._n and_o say_v he_o we_o must_v be_v meck_n and_o lowly_a as_o christ_n be_v lowly_a and_o content_a to_o receive_v all_o from_o the_o father_n even_o so_o must_v we_o be_v meek_a and_o lowly_a and_o content_a to_o receive_v all_o from_o christ_n if_o duty_n be_v press_v any_o other_o way_n they_o will_v be_v burden_n that_o neither_o we_o nor_o our_o father_n be_v or_o will_v be_v able_a to_o bear_v therefore_o say_v he_o if_o we_o mean_v to_o keep_v jesus_n christ_n we_o must_v keep_v open_a this_o fountain_n and_o hold_v forth_o this_o light_n and_o tell_v they_o in_o

then_o give_v he_o to_o declare_v and_o which_o indeed_o he_o then_o even_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o woolflsh_a professor_n do_v bold_o and_o valiant_o declare_v and_o as_o honest_o and_o noble_o
