say_v it_o be_v not_o write_v in_o scripture_n and_o as_o w._n p._n do_v in_o call_v this_o doctrine_n of_o t._n h._n vnscriptural_a see_v all_o the_o real_a ground_n a_o quaker_n can_v have_v to_o

5._o for_o sure_o to_o say_v he_o be_v a_o man_n be_v to_o suppose_v he_o both_o to_o be_v distinct_a and_o a_o person_n without_o we_o obj._n but_o christ_n be_v say_v to_o be_v in_o his_o people_n

of_o christ_n he_o be_v in_o respect_n of_o his_o humane_a nature_n absent_a and_o in_o heaven_n and_o that_o he_o act_v in_o his_o stead_n but_o sure_o the_o opposition_n the_o quaker_n make_v

come_v out_o of_o the_o rock_n 5._o it_o be_v call_v a_o spiritual_a rock_n because_o it_o be_v typical_a of_o christ_n and_o that_o the_o believer_n among_o they_o do_v as_o true_o partake_v of_o
