in_o it_o though_o i_o look_v for_o no_o thanks_o from_o you_o for_o my_o charitable_a desire_n yet_o you_o shall_v have_v they_o whether_o you_o will_v or_o not_o have_v be_v at_o this_o labour_n

twenty_o query_n follow_v qu._n 1._o be_v they_o not_o the_o very_a same_o minister_n which_o you_o rail_v at_o and_o which_o all_o the_o drunkard_n swearer_n whoremonger_n and_o sensual_a wretch_n

you_o i_o can_v witness_v it_o of_o most_o of_o my_o acquaintance_n that_o be_v such_o moreover_o be_v they_o not_o the_o same_o sort_n of_o minister_n which_o the_o late_a bishop_n silence_v

but_o deceiver_n and_o teach_v the_o divination_n of_o our_o own_o brain_n and_o delude_v soul_n and_o so_o say_v you_o the_o papist_n say_v our_o congregation_n be_v no_o true_a church_n who_o own_v we_o as_o their_o pastor_n and_o so_o say_v the_o quaker_n the_o papist_n know_v that_o the_o great_a thing_n that_o must_v be_v do_v before_o they_o can_v feduce_v the_o people_n among_o we_o be_v first_o to_o make_v they_o despise_v and_o reject_v their_o teacher_n and_o therefore_o they_o bend_v all_o their_o wit_n and_o endeavour_n to_o vilify_v they_o and_o draw_v the_o heart_n of_o the_o people_n from_o they_o and_o so_o do_v the_o quaker_n the_o papist_n main_a error_n lie_v in_o the_o contempt_n of_o the_o scripture_n they_o say_v they_o will_v not_o take_v it_o for_o the_o word_n of_o god_n but_o on_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n and_o that_o it_o be_v but_o part_n of_o his_o word_n the_o quaker_n say_v it_o be_v not_o the_o word_n of_o god_n the_o papist_n say_v it_o be_v but_o a_o dead_a letter_n and_o so_o do_v the_o quaker_n the_o papist_n say_v it_o be_v not_o fit_a to_o be_v the_o judge_n of_o controversy_n and_o so_o say_v the_o quaker_n the_o papist_n prefer_v the_o vulgar_a translation_n before_o the_o same_o word_n in_o hebrew_n and_o greek_a which_o the_o spirit_n do_v indite_v the_o scripture_n in_o and_o so_o do_v the_o quaker_n in_o english_a can_v the_o papist_n but_o get_v down_o the_o regulate_a authority_n of_o scripture_n they_o will_v think_v they_o have_v win_v the_o field_n for_o they_o will_v not_o endure_v that_o all_o spirit_n shall_v be_v try_v by_o the_o write_a word_n no_o more_o will_v the_o quaker_n the_o papist_n maintain_v man_n freewill_n have_v power_n before_o conversion_n to_o repent_v and_o believe_v and_o turn_v to_o god_n and_o that_o it_o be_v not_o only_o the_o fruit_n of_o the_o spirit_n in_o the_o elect_a and_o so_o do_v the_o quaker_n the_o papist_n tell_v man_n of_o the_o sufficiency_n of_o the_o common-light_n that_o be_v within_o they_o and_o so_o do_v the_o quaker_n the_o papist_n say_v that_o a_o man_n may_v be_v perfect_a without_o sin_n in_o this_o life_n and_o may_v fulfil_v all_o god_n commandment_n and_o so_o do_v the_o quaker_n the_o papist_n make_v this_o their_o perfection_n to_o lie_v in_o cast_v off_o worldly_a calling_n employment_n relation_n after_o the_o flesh_n and_o propriety_n as_o their_o nun_n monk_n and_o hermit_n do_v yea_o and_o in_o cast_v off_o their_o old_a name_n as_o their_o pope_n do_v when_o he_o be_v make_v pope_n and_o so_o do_v many_o of_o the_o quaker_n and_o much_o worse_o as_o i_o have_v see_v in_o paper_n under_o their_o own_o hand_n the_o papist_n place_v their_o righteousness_n in_o their_o own_o work_n and_o perfection_n while_o they_o sleight_n the_o impute_a righteousness_n of_o christ_n and_o so_o do_v the_o quaker_n the_o papist_n place_v this_o righteousness_n of_o their_o own_o pharisaical_o in_o external_n and_o thing_n that_o have_v a_o show_n of_o wisdom_n and_o humility_n and_o neglect_v of_o the_o body_n not_o in_o any_o honour_n to_o the_o satisfy_n of_o the_o flesh_n as_o touch_v not_o taste_v not_o

forbid_v we_o to_o have_v any_o sectmaster_n or_o master_n of_o our_o faith_n in_o such_o like_a as_o these_o do_v the_o quaker_n righteousness_n lie_v while_o they_o be_v ignorant_a of_o christ_n righteousness_n and_o just_o be_v it_o with_o god_n that_o they_o who_o set_v up_o their_o own_o righteousness_n against_o christ_n shall_v be_v give_v up_o to_o that_o hellish_a delusion_n as_o to_o
