heaven_n unto_o wrath_n and_o indignation_n and_o it_o wound_n and_o oppress_v the_o immortal_a soul_n unto_o death_n and_o damnation_n sure_o it_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o very_a purpose_n of_o god_n in_o order_n of_o creation_n who_o make_v and_o ordain_v mankind_n free_a from_o bondage_n and_o never_o bring_v he_o forth_o into_o the_o world_n to_o be_v a_o subject_v slave_n to_o the_o

worship_n and_o duty_n to_o god_n of_o one_o man_n upon_o another_o or_o of_o some_o person_n over_o all_o be_v certain_o a_o act_n of_o bondage_n and_o slavery_n lay_v as_o a_o grievous_a yoke_n upon_o the_o neck_n one_o of_o another_o and_o subject_v one_o another_o in_o oppression_n not_o unto_o the_o good_a will_n of_o the_o creator_n but_o unto_o the_o evil_a will_n of_o mortal_a perish_v and_o sinful_a creature_n and_o this_o differ_v from_o and_o contrary_n to_o the_o pure_a and_o perfect_a order_n and_o decree_n of_o creation_n which_o be_v bless_v altogether_o and_o whatsoever_o be_v degenerate_v by_o corruption_n and_o err_v through_o temptation_n from_o that_o pure_a and_o holy_a order_n of_o creation_n either_o in_o thing_n worldly_a or_o divine_a be_v in_o the_o curse_n

exercise_v in_o spiritual_a case_n be_v the_o high_a product_n of_o degeneration_n and_o the_o great_a degression_n from_o the_o holy_a order_n of_o creation_n for_o without_o controversy_n the_o creator_n himself_o reserve_v and_o retain_v in_o his_o alone_a only_a power_n the_o privilege_n of_o supremacy_n in_o and_o over_o the_o inward_a man_n in_o all_o the_o matter_n immortal_a that_o

wherefore_o without_o controversy_n it_o be_v a_o usurpation_n of_o the_o creator_n rightful_a dominion_n it_o be_v a_o rob_n of_o he_o of_o his_o dignity_n and_o prerogative_n it_o be_v a_o act_n of_o violence_n do_v against_o his_o sovereignty_n a_o audacious_a intrude_a into_o his_o proper_a right_n and_o a_o violate_v of_o the_o law_n and_o decree_n of_o creation_n for_o one_o person_n or_o

this_o both_o in_o respect_n of_o god_n and_o man_n that_o i_o have_v not_o yet_o comprehend_v the_o height_n and_o depth_n thereof_o though_o my_o spirit_n from_o a_o child_n have_v often_o enter_v into_o the_o serious_a consideration_n of_o this_o thing_n with_o mourning_n and_o sorrow_n because_o of_o it_o and_o with_o testimony_n and_o abhorrance_n against_o it_o and_o at_o this_o hour_n i_o be_o a_o sufferer_n in_o body_n and_o spirit_n because_o of_o the_o same_o carnal_a imposition_n upon_o conscience_n in_o spiritual_a thing_n woe_n unto_o it_o my_o soul_n hate_v and_o my_o god_n

this_o gulf_n out_o of_o which_o they_o ascend_v i_o may_v make_v this_o epistle_n a_o large_a volumn_n but_o since_o that_o i_o have_v elsewhere_o write_v about_o this_o matter_n i_o shall_v now_o
