for_o it_o of_o god_n and_o there_o be_v never_o a_o one_o that_o i_o have_v curse_v that_o shall_v escape_v that_o curse_n which_o i_o have_v denounce_v upon_o they_o neither_o will_v any_o god_n

give_v judgement_n upon_o they_o according_a to_o the_o tenor_n of_o my_o commission_n and_o this_o be_v that_o which_o you_o call_v swell_a word_n you_o will_v have_v call_v the_o prophet_n eliahs_n

for_o they_o shall_v never_o see_v any_o other_o god_n or_o judge_n but_o that_o sentence_n that_o we_o have_v pass_v upon_o they_o you_o be_v much_o mistake_v if_o you_o think_v to_o deal_v with_o a_o prophet_n that_o have_v a_o commission_n from_o god_n as_o you_o deal_v with_o the_o priest_n of_o the_o nation_n because_o you_o quaker_n have_v baffle_v the_o priest_n of_o the_o nation_n by_o that_o light_n within_o you_o because_o you_o be_v fall_v to_o a_o more_o precise_a exactness_n of_o life_n than_o they_o though_o your_o doctrine_n be_v worse_a than_o they_o you_o must_v not_o

of_o all_o sect_n beside_o which_o shall_v not_o escape_v what_o have_v be_v decla_fw-la ed_z by_o we_o the_o witness_n of_o the_o spirit_n as_o for_o that_o say_n which_o you_o quote_v out_o of_o

give_v i_o power_n since_o that_o to_o the_o contrary_n he_o have_v put_v the_o two-edged_n sword_n of_o his_o spirit_n into_o my_o mouth_n that_o whosoever_o i_o pronounce_v curse_v through_o my_o

false_a doctrine_n pride_n and_o presumption_n as_o be_v apparent_a answer_n that_o my_o commission_n be_v no_o pretend_a thing_n but_o as_o true_a as_o moses_n and_o the_o prophet_n and_o as_o the_o

the_o book_n of_o the_o law_n 3._o he_o have_v give_v i_o to_o know_v the_o law_n 4._o according_a to_o the_o know_a law_n i_o do_v give_v sentence_n and_o judgement_n of_o blessing_n or_o curse_v to_o eternity_n 1._o that_o i_o have_v a_o commission_n from_o god_n to_o be_v chief_a judge_n that_o i_o have_v prove_v before_o if_o it_o can_v be_v believe_v i_o can_v help_v that_o 2._o that_o god_n have_v give_v the_o book_n of_o the_o law_n which_o be_v the_o scripture_n into_o my_o hand_n be_v as_o certain_o true_a also_o for_o the_o scripture_n be_v give_v into_o my_o hand_n as_o the_o priest_n office_n be_v give_v unto_o the_o hand_n of_o aaron_n yet_o every_o man_n that_o read_v the_o scripture_n do_v think_v to_o find_v eternal_a life_n in_o they_o as_o christ_n say_v to_o the_o jew_n and_o as_o you_o quaker_n and_o other_o do_v now_o a_o day_n but_o think_v will_v not_o serve_v turn_n for_o all_o most_o all_o the_o world_n have_v no_o other_o assurance_n of_o eternal_a life_n but_o think_v but_o it_o be_v knowledge_n and_o faith_n in_o the_o true_a god_n that_o give_v certain_a assurance_n of_o eternal_a life_n which_o i_o know_v no_o quaker_n have_v or_o can_v have_v in_o that_o estate_n and_o principle_n which_o they_o hold_v for_o they_o deny_v that_o flesh_n and_o bone_n of_o christ_n which_o suffer_v death_n to_o be_v now_o live_v above_o the_o star_n in_o that_o heaven_n but_o i_o have_v open_v that_o more_o large_a in_o those_o letter_n to_o the_o quaker_n 3._o god_n have_v give_v i_o to_o know_v the_o law_n that_o be_v to_o know_v the_o book_n of_o the_o scripture_n and_o that_o he_o have_v give_v i_o more_o knowledge_n in_o the_o scripture_n than_o all_o the_o man_n in_o the_o world_n at_o this_o day_n this_o i_o know_v to_o be_v truth_n and_o some_o other_o can_v witness_v it_o neither_o can_v any_o man_n interpret_v the_o scripture_n true_o but_o myself_o and_o those_o that_o have_v it_o from_o i_o because_o no_o man_n do_v know_v the_o true_a foundation_n which_o the_o book_n of_o the_o scripture_n do_v stand_v upon_o namely_o the_o true_a god_n and_o the_o right_a devil_n 4._o and_o according_a to_o the_o know_a law_n of_o the_o scripture_n i_o do_v give_v sentence_n and_o judgement_n of_o blessing_n and_o curse_v to_o eternity_n thus_o far_o i_o do_v proceed_v like_a unto_o the_o judge_n of_o the_o land_n but_o now_o as_o for_o juries_n and_o witness_n and_o accuser_n the_o judge_n of_o the_o civil_a law_n and_o i_o shall_v differ_v something_o but_o not_o much_o because_o jury_n and_o judge_n be_v so_o bind_v together_o by_o the_o civil_a law_n of_o the_o land_n that_o one_o in_o many_o case_n can_v do_v nothing_o without_o the_o other_o so_o that_o many_o time_n there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o hurt_n do_v as_o well_o as_o good_a because_o the_o power_n lie_v in_o they_o both_o for_o many_o time_n when_o judge_n will_v do_v right_o according_a to_o law_n yet_o the_o jury_n do_v prevent_v he_o and_o so_o ty_v his_o hand_n likewise_o sometime_o the_o jury_n be_v willing_a to_o show_v mercy_n and_o do_v right_a and_o the_o judge_n will_v not_o have_v some_o prejudice_n against_o that_o party_n and_o do_v overpower_v the_o jury_n with_o his_o authority_n and_o knowledge_n in_o the_o law_n so_o that_o judgement_n be_v turn_v backward_o sometime_o because_o the_o law_n lie_v between_o two_o the_o judge_n and_o the_o jury_n which_o if_o it_o do_v lie_v always_o in_o one_o than_o there_o will_v be_v always_o either_o true_a justice_n do_v or_o injustice_n always_o do_v these_o thing_n some_o can_v experience_n which_o have_v be_v accustom_v to_o the_o law_n 2._o the_o judge_n of_o the_o civil_a law_n can_v do_v nothing_o except_o there_o be_v witness_n or_o accuser_n face_n to_o face_n the_o cause_n of_o that_o be_v because_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n be_v ground_v upon_o reason_n and_o the_o judge_n of_o the_o land_n be_v the_o interpreter_n of_o the_o law_n of_o reason_n so_o that_o reason_n kingdom_n be_v in_o this_o visible_a world_n it_o must_v proceed_v in_o the_o way_n of_o reason_n by_o the_o law_n of_o reason_n which_o be_v the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n for_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n can_v lay_v hold_n of_o nothing_o but_o what_o be_v a_o visible_a breach_n of_o the_o law_n therefore_o the_o judge_n must_v have_v a_o visible_a witness_n or_o accuser_n face_n to_o face_n else_o be_v can_v give_v no_o judgement_n upon_o the_o matter_n yet_o there_o be_v some_o case_n in_o law_n that_o man_n be_v sue_v at_o the_o law_n and_o condemn_v by_o the_o law_n at_o a_o distance_n the_o party_n sue_v not_o be_v face_n to_o face_n nor_o know_v of_o it_o until_o that_o he_o be_v condemn_v this_o some_o can_v experience_n yet_o this_o i_o say_v the_o jude_n of_o the_o land_n do_v go_v the_o best_a way_n in_o have_v jury_n and_o witness_n that_o reason_n can_v find_v out_o and_o for_o my_o part_n i_o do_v approve_v of_o their_o way_n very_o well_o but_o who_o god_n do_v make_v judge_n they_o must_v go_v a_o near_a way_n to_o work_v for_o you_o may_v read_v that_o those_o judge_n which_o god_n do_v ordain_v in_o spiritual_a matter_n they_o do_v not_o call_v for_o juries_n and_o witness_n as_o the_o judge_n of_o the_o land_n do_v what_o jury_n do_v moses_n call_v for_o to_o plague_v the_o people_n of_o israel_n for_o their_o idolatry_n and_o what_o jury_n do_v elijah_n call_v for_o when_o he_o call_v for_o fire_n from_o heaven_n to_o destroy_v those_o two_o captain_n and_o their_o fifty_n what_o jury_n do_v elisha_n call_v for_o when_o he_o curse_v those_o forty_o two_o child_n and_o cause_v they_o to_o be_v slay_v by_o two_o she-bears_a what_o jury_n do_v peter_n call_v for_o when_o he_o strike_v annanias_n and_o saphirah_n his_o wife_n dead_a with_o a_o word_n speak_v with_o many_o more_o thing_n which_o the_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n which_o be_v judge_n of_o spiritual_a matter_n have_v do_v without_o any_o juries_n or_o witness_n and_o yet_o they_o have_v go_v by_o as_o certain_a a_o rule_n as_o the_o judge_n of_o the_o land_n do_v when_o they_o give_v judgement_n according_a to_o law_n so_o that_o i_o do_v know_v how_o to_o proceed_v in_o judgement_n according_a to_o the_o tenor_n of_o my_o commission_n as_o the_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n do_v in_o they_o and_o as_o the_o judge_n of_o the_o land_n do_v in_o their_o commission_n of_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n but_o to_o give_v little_o further_a satisfaction_n to_o the_o reader_n i_o shall_v show_v why_o i_o do_v condemn_v man_n and_o woman_n at_o a_o distance_n and_o yet_o something_o agreeable_a to_o the_o way_n of_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n first_o those_o that_o be_v condemn_v by_o i_o at_o a_o distance_n there_o be_v some_o of_o this_o faith_n that_o have_v hear_v they_o speak_v wicked_a speech_n against_o i_o and_o the_o doctrine_n declare_v by_o this_o commission_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o have_v give_v i_o intelligence_n of_o it_o and_o so_o upon_o their_o witness_v the_o same_o i_o have_v send_v the_o sentence_n unto_o they_o so_o that_o if_o the_o witness_n that_o inform_v i_o do_v not_o witness_v truth_n than_o that_o sentence_n which_o i_o have_v pass_v upon_o they_o shall_v be_v of_o no_o value_n which_o be_v better_a judgement_n in_o some_o kind_n than_o the_o judge_n of_o the_o land_n do_v give_v for_o if_o witness_n be_v false_a and_o swear_v false_o the_o judge_n of_o the_o land_n do_v many_o time_n condemn_v the_o innocent_a mere_o through_o false_a witness_n therefore_o in_o that_o regard_n my_o judgement_n and_o sentence_n be_v more_o certain_a than_o the_o judge_n of_o the_o civil_a law_n be_v in_o regard_n i_o never_o condemn_v the_o innocent_a through_o false_a witness_n for_o i_o seldom_o or_o never_o do_v send_v the_o sentence_n to_o any_o though_o their_o wicked_a speech_n be_v witness_v unto_o i_o by_o one_o that_o be_v not_o in_o this_o faith_n though_o they_o may_v speak_v truth_n in_o that_o thing_n as_o well_o as_o other_o that_o be_v of_o the_o same_o faith_n with_o i_o 2._o i_o never_o do_v pass_v sentence_n on_o any_o at_o a_o distance_n except_o i_o have_v some_o write_n from_o their_o own_o hand_n as_o i_o have_v have_v from_o you_o quaker_n and_o your_o handwriting_n be_v as_o good_a a_o jury_n and_o witness_n to_o i_o as_o the_o judge_n of_o the_o land_n can_v have_v for_o what_o jury_n or_o witness_n can_v be_v require_v more_o than_o a_o man_n own_o
