together_o there_o be_v a_o gospel_n meeting_n according_a to_o the_o commandment_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o in_o that_o meeting_n the_o holy_a ghost_n fall_v upon_o they_o and_o they_o speak_v as_o the_o spirit_n give_v they_o utterance_n mark_v again_o they_o do_v not_o go_v forth_o before_o they_o have_v receive_v the_o power_n nor_o they_o do_v not_o speak_v before_o the_o spirit_n give_v they_o utterance_n but_o have_v receive_v the_o spirit_n and_o power_n they_o then_o speak_v in_o the_o spirit_n and_o go_v forth_o to_o declare_v the_o thing_n of_o god_n in_o his_o power_n and_o in_o the_o spirit_n and_o power_n which_o they_o have_v receive_v they_o gather_v meeting_n distinct_o both_o from_o jew_n and_o gentile_n and_o they_o continue_v their_o meeting_n and_o do_v not_o cease_v to_o meet_v after_o they_o have_v receive_v the_o spirit_n and_o power_n and_o they_o be_v not_o only_o separate_v from_o the_o jew_n and_o gentile_n as_o to_o their_o worship_n but_o they_o also_o receive_v power_n to_o testify_v against_o the_o worship_n which_o jew_n &_o gentile_n observe_v for_o stephen_n testify_v against_o the_o temple-worship_n and_o paul_n against_o the_o athenian_n worship_n and_o this_o be_v their_o love_n to_o god_n his_o truth_n and_o worship_n and_o also_o love_v to_o the_o soul_n of_o such_o as_o be_v ignorant_o worship_v and_o herein_o they_o discharge_v a_o good_a conscience_n towards_o god_n forasmuch_o as_o they_o labour_v to_o open_v the_o understanding_n of_o ignorant_a worshipper_n by_o testify_v against_o their_o worship_n and_o as_o they_o meet_v together_o and_o worship_v god_n in_o his_o spirit_n and_o truth_n so_o they_o keep_v their_o meeting_n in_o his_o fear_n and_o do_v not_o forsake_v the_o assemble_v of_o themselves_o but_o with_o all_o diligence_n observe_v the_o way_n and_o order_n of_o the_o spirit_n which_o they_o have_v receive_v of_o god_n to_o meet_v together_o and_o to_o worship_n god_n in_o and_o their_o meeting_n be_v form_v and_o order_v of_o the_o lord_n and_o by_o his_o appointment_n they_o be_v not_o form_v order_v or_o appoint_v of_o man_n or_o by_o man_n but_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v in_o the_o form_n order_v and_o appoint_v of_o they_o and_o they_o that_o sometime_o observe_v they_o and_o then_o depart_v from_o they_o they_o depart_v from_o the_o holy_a commandment_n give_v of_o god_n and_o so_o it_o do_v clear_o appear_v that_o the_o meeting_n of_o the_o holy_a people_n call_v quaker_n be_v constitute_v ordain_v and_o command_v of_o god_n forasmuch_o as_o they_o answer_v to_o the_o saint_n meeting_n in_o primitive_a time_n be_v form_v and_o appoint_v of_o god_n as_o their_o meeting_n be_v and_o be_v also_o observe_v in_o the_o same_o light_n spirit_n life_n and_o power_n and_o so_o their_o meeting_n be_v no_o new_a thing_n if_o true_o examine_v and_o compare_v with_o the_o purity_n of_o gospel_n time_n but_o their_o meeting_n be_v of_o the_o first_o constitution_n and_o appointment_n of_o god_n among_o christian_n and_o so_o have_v the_o first_o place_n in_o christian_a practice_n service_n and_o worship_n for_o as_o they_o stand_v by_o the_o appointment_n &_o commandment_n of_o god_n so_o they_o be_v more_o worthy_a to_o be_v observe_v then_o any_o meeting_n that_o stand_v by_o the_o appointment_n and_o commandment_n of_o man_n and_o all_o that_o true_o love_v god_n they_o do_v observe_v they_o as_o his_o command_n and_o by_o keep_v his_o command_n they_o manifest_v that_o they_o love_v he_o and_o many_o that_o do_v manifest_v their_o love_n unto_o god_n in_o assemble_v and_o meet_v together_o according_a to_o his_o appointment_n and_o command_n and_o his_o command_n be_v not_o grievous_a but_o joyous_a unto_o they_o for_o by_o observe_v and_o keep_v his_o command_n they_o have_v find_v he_o in_o his_o own_o way_n and_o so_o keep_v their_o meeting_n unto_o god_n and_o not_o unto_o man_n and_o this_o be_v the_o glorious_a light_n that_o be_v break_v forth_o again_o through_o the_o night_n of_o apostasy_n and_o in_o which_o gospel-meeting_n be_v order_v again_o as_o be_v before_o the_o apostasy_n and_o the_o everlasting_a gospel_n be_v preach_v again_o as_o in_o the_o apostle_n day_n and_o christianity_n be_v know_v again_o as_o be_v among_o they_o and_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n be_v

appearance_n of_o christ_n in_o his_o light_n and_o power_n and_o yet_o nothing_o new_a in_o itself_o as_o to_o the_o ground_n but_o only_o make_v new_a by_o a_o separation_n and_o distinction_n from_o the_o old_a for_o all_o that_o man_n have_v constitute_v ordain_v and_o set_v up_o as_o to_o worship_n and_o religion_n it_o be_v of_o the_o old_a nature_n and_o so_o old_a thing_n but_o christ_n make_v all_o thing_n new_a and_o yet_o in_o himself_o before_o all_o thing_n and_o he_o have_v bring_v forth_o that_o again_o which_o darkness_n have_v overspread_v since_o the_o primitive_a time_n which_o be_v so_o large_a a_o time_n keep_v under_o darkness_n it_o now_o appear_v new_a distinct_o from_o the_o old_a and_o though_o this_o be_v new_a as_o to_o the_o appearance_n of_o it_o out_o of_o the_o old_a yet_o christ_n who_o bring_v it_o forth_o in_o himself_o he_o be_v the_o begin_n of_o all_o and_o so_o he_o be_v the_o first_o and_o good_a old_a way_n as_o in_o relation_n to_o forego_v age_n and_o also_o the_o last_o and_o new_a and_o live_a way_n in_o relation_n to_o succeed_a age_n and_o he_o have_v gather_v a_o people_n to_o himself_o who_o walk_v with_o he_o as_o in_o the_o new_a and_o live_a way_n and_o in_o he_o they_o meet_v and_o worship_n god_n and_o enjoy_v his_o presence_n and_o have_v find_v the_o lord_n in_o his_o own_o way_n &_o walk_v with_o the_o lord_n in_o his_o own_o leading●_n they_o can_v walk_v in_o any_o other_o way_n nor_o meet_v to_o worship_n god_n in_o any_o other_o manner_n for_o there_o be_v but_o one_o way_n that_o lead_v unto_o god_n and_o in_o which_o he_o be_v worship_v and_o that_o be_v christ_n the_o light_n &_o truth_n and_o life_n and_o that_o way_n be_v find_v all_o other_o way_n be_v to_o be_v deny_v as_o lead_v from_o

people_n call_v quaker_n who_o walk_v in_o the_o light_n and_o spirit_n can_v walk_v in_o the_o way_n or_o observe_v the_o worship_n in_o any_o form_n or_o profession_n which_o be_v make_v and_o set_v

they_o nor_o walk_v with_o they_o nor_o worship_n with_o they_o but_o meet_v in_o the_o spirit_n and_o walk_v in_o the_o spirit_n and_o worship_n god_n in_o the_o spirit_n who_o be_v a_o spirit_n and_o this_o be_v a_o gospel-meeting_a and_o way_n and_o worship_n as_o in_o the_o primitive_a time_n and_o all_o other_o meeting_n way_n and_o worship_n be_v constitute_v and_o set_v up_o since_o the_o primitive_a time_n and_o they_o be_v all_o to_o be_v deny_v and_o forsake_v as_o have_v no_o life_n in_o they_o for_o though_o the_o lord_n may_v once_o appear_v in_o meeting_n way_n and_o
