i_o the_o true_a faith_n by_o which_o i_o find_v a_o inward_a rejoice_n in_o my_o soul_n to_o come_v to_o god_n and_o to_o call_v upon_o he_o with_o confidence_n and_o therefore_o i_o must_v serve_v

god_n be_v far_o from_o they_o but_o recall_v himself_o he_o say_v they_o rather_o be_v far_o from_o god_n secret_o as_o i_o take_v it_o intimate_v that_o we_o rather_o depart_v from_o god_n than_o god_n from_o we_o i_o understanding_n that_o he_o be_v much_o offend_v at_o the_o wicked_a life_n of_o christian_n do_v much_o endeavour_n to_o antidote_n he_o against_o that_o poison_n tell_v he_o that_o the_o small_a number_n of_o true_a christian_n be_v so_o far_o from_o give_v just_a cause_n of_o offence_n that_o it_o do_v establish_v the_o truth_n of_o the_o gospel_n since_o christ_n plain_o tell_v we_o that_o there_o be_v few_o that_o shall_v be_v save_v and_o that_o many_o be_v call_v and_o few_o be_v choose_v but_o that_o withal_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o hereafter_o he_o

he_o as_o the_o other_o do_v scandalize_v he_o his_o answer_n be_v with_o much_o gravity_n thus_o sir_n i_o judge_v not_o of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n by_o man_n but_o of_o man_n by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o that_o there_o be_v but_o one_o lot_n in_o sodom_n but_o that_o it_o be_v true_a that_o he_o be_v much_o offend_v and_o it_o yet_o trouble_v he_o to_o see_v the_o wicked_a life_n of_o those_o that_o call_v themselves_o christian_n i_o think_v to_o try_v he_o with_o something_o a_o more_o intricate_a question_n i_o ask_v he_o how_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o he_o read_v of_o such_o high_a point_n as_o of_o the_o trinity_n etc._n etc._n in_o the_o bible_n he_o shall_v not_o rather_o judge_v that_o book_n not_o to_o be_v god_n word_n that_o speak_v of_o thing_n so_o much_o above_o reason_n rather_o than_o to_o judge_v these_o thing_n to_o be_v true_a because_o he_o find_v they_o write_v in_o the_o bible_n to_o this_o purpose_n he_o answer_v that_o he_o be_v much_o satisfy_v of_o the_o truth_n of_o christian_a religion_n before_o he_o come_v out_o of_o his_o own_o country_n and_o find_v that_o all_o christian_n do_v agree_v that_o their_o religion_n be_v set_v down_o in_o that_o book_n he_o have_v a_o reverend_a esteem_n of_o it_o and_o say_v the_o spiritual_a love_n of_o god_n in_o the_o heart_n prepare_v it_o to_o the_o understanding_n of_o spiritual_a truth_n i_o ask_v he_o what_o reason_n move_v he_o to_o embrace_v christianity_n he_o use_v this_o expression_n as_o a_o man_n at_o a_o feast_n take_v one_o bit_n here_o and_o another_o there_o till_o at_o last_o he_o be_v so_o satisfy_v that_o he_o can_v eat_v no_o more_o so_o there_o be_v several_a reason_n that_o from_o time_n to_o time_n affect_v he_o that_o at_o last_o he_o can_v stand_v out_o no_o long_o he_o tell_v i_o moreover_o that_o he_o go_v several_a time_n on_o pilgrimage_n to_o mahomet_n tomb_n and_o the_o last_o time_n be_v resolve_v to_o see_v what_o be_v in_o it_o the_o

he_o will_v stay_v till_o they_o be_v go_v and_o so_o do_v then_o he_o be_v a_o man_n of_o power_n and_o authority_n the_o priest_n dare_v not_o deny_v he_o but_o open_v the_o tomb_n where_o he_o see_v nothing_o but_o a_o few_o scatter_a black_a bone_n which_o much_o incense_v he_o against_o mahomet_n insomuch_o say_v he_o that_o have_v i_o speak_v what_o i_o then_o think_v i_o have_v not_o go_v alive_a out_o of_o that_o place_n i_o have_v read_v in_o the_o turkish_a history_n a_o relation_n much_o conduce_v to_o the_o advantage_n of_o christian_a religion_n and_o know_v that_o it_o be_v in_o his_o remembrance_n inquire_v of_o he_o of_o the_o truth_n of_o it_o he_o tell_v i_o that_o it_o be_v very_o true_a and_o relate_v some_o other_o passage_n which_o be_v not_o set_v down_o in_o

between_o two_o and_o three_o in_o the_o morning_n there_o be_v see_v a_o woman_n in_o white_a compass_v about_o with_o the_o sun_n have_v a_o cheerful_a countenance_n and_o hold_v in_o her_o hand_n
