more_o clear_a that_o adam_n be_v not_o cain_n father_n he_o can_v not_o be_v cain_n father_n and_o christ_n father_n also_o now_o we_o find_v by_o the_o scripture_n that_o christ_n do_v own_o adam_n to_o be_v his_o father_n and_o the_o scripture_n do_v own_o cain_n to_o be_v the_o right_a devil_n and_o the_o father_n of_o all_o other_o devil_n as_o i_o have_v show_v before_o and_o that_o adam_n

do_v you_o teach_v your_o hearer_n this_o what_o be_v it_o you_o teach_v that_o your_o hearer_n be_v so_o ignorant_a of_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o true_a god_n and_o the_o right_a devil_n and_o of_o the_o scripture_n this_o be_v the_o faith_n that_o other_o religious_a man_n do_v believe_v concern_v the_o tree_n of_o knowledge_n of_o good_a and_o evil_n and_o of_o the_o serpent_n but_o you_o

do_v ever_o any_o snake_n we_o call_v serpent_n speak_v such_o a_o language_n sure_o no._n i_o marvel_v people_n be_v so_o unwilling_a to_o believe_v that_o the_o tree_n of_o knowledge_n of_o good_a

do_v eat_v of_o the_o same_o forbid_a fruit_n now_o as_o adam_n and_o eve_n do_v then_o and_o as_o the_o tree_n be_v pleasant_a to_o the_o eye_n and_o good_a to_o make_v one_o wise_a be_v it_o not_o

this_o make_v many_o to_o know_v good_a and_o evil_n by_o woeful_a experience_n for_o this_o sweetness_n of_o sin_n be_v but_o for_o a_o season_n for_o i_o have_v know_v many_o in_o my_o day_n that_o

this_o be_v one_o of_o the_o easy_a point_n that_o be_v to_o prove_v by_o scripture_n and_o experience_n these_o be_v the_o word_n that_o george_n fox_n do_v ground_n the_o immortality_n of_o the_o

by_o scripture_n chap._n vi_o answer_n this_o point_n have_v be_v prove_v by_o scripture_n in_o all_o our_o other_o write_n as_o aforesaid_a and_o that_o book_n of_o the_o mortality_n of_o the_o

by_o the_o temptation_n of_o earthly_a body_n viz._n the_o serpent_n angel_n his_o seed_n in_o mortality_n mind_v also_o this_o breath_n of_o life_n which_o god_n breathe_v into_o adam_n wherein_o

and_o shall_v have_v live_v a_o paradisical_a life_n of_o peace_n upon_o this_o earth_n for_o ever_o if_o he_o have_v keep_v that_o state_n he_o be_v create_v in_o i_o confess_v this_o be_v a_o

but_o i_o see_v all_o those_o people_n that_o will_v be_v teach_v of_o god_n and_o have_v the_o scripture_n interpret_v unto_o they_o by_o christ_n himself_o and_o will_v not_o receive_v the_o

people_n will_v have_v know_v more_o truth_n if_o they_o have_v be_v teach_v by_o man_n that_o have_v a_o commission_n from_o god_n as_o reeve_n and_o muggleton_n have_v than_o they_o do_v by_o all_o that_o god_n ever_o teach_v they_o in_o their_o life_n and_o the_o interpretation_n of_o scripture_n we_o have_v give_v if_o understand_v will_v have_v inform_v their_o judgement_n more_o than_o all_o the_o interpretation_n of_o scripture_n that_o christ_n ever_o do_v interpret_v unto_o the_o quaker_n people_n since_o the_o name_n of_o quaker_n be_v put_v upon_o they_o yet_o we_o be_v but_o mortal_a man_n and_o must_v die_v but_o to_o clear_v the_o scruple_n that_o may_v arise_v in_o man_n mind_n because_o i_o speak_v thus_o i_o shall_v show_v in_o a_o few_o word_n how_o man_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v teach_v of_o god_n and_o how_o the_o interpretation_n of_o scripture_n may_v be_v say_v to_o belong_v unto_o christ_n first_o when_o god_n choose_v any_o one_o man_n or_o more_o to_o be_v his_o choose_a prophet_n messenger_n or_o minister_n god_n do_v furnish_v such_o with_o wisdom_n and_o understanding_n and_o revelation_n to_o declare_v the_o mind_n of_o god_n to_o the_o

teach_v of_o god_n and_o be_v teach_v of_o god_n so_o likewise_o he_o that_o have_v the_o gift_n of_o interpretation_n of_o scripture_n as_o prophet_n apostle_n and_o we_o the_o witness_n of_o the_o spirit_n have_v our_o interpretation_n of_o scripture_n may_v be_v say_v to_o belong_v unto_o christ_n and_o that_o it_o be_v the_o true_a interpretation_n of_o christ_n himself_o because_o we_o have_v our_o commission_n from_o he_o to_o teach_v the_o people_n and_o to_o interpret_v scripture_n to_o as_o many_o as_o believe_v we_o to_o their_o great_a peace_n and_o satisfaction_n of_o their_o soul_n and_o in_o this_o sense_n people_n may_v true_o say_v they_o be_v all_o teach_v of_o god_n and_o that_o christ_n have_v give_v the_o true_a interpretation_n of_o scripture_n by_o his_o

as_o the_o other_o whatsoever_o the_o prophet_n apostle_n and_o witness_n of_o the_o spirit_n do_v it_o may_v be_v say_v christ_n do_v it_o as_o the_o prophet_n they_o preach_v of_o balm_n in_o

christ_n to_o open_v the_o eye_n of_o the_o blind_a and_o to_o give_v light_n unto_o they_o that_o be_v in_o darkness_n and_o in_o the_o shadow_n of_o death_n and_o bring_v those_o that_o believe_v their_o doctrine_n into_o the_o light_n of_o life_n eternal_a also_o they_o have_v the_o key_n of_o heaven_n and_o of_o hell_n to_o bind_v sin_n upon_o the_o conscience_n of_o unbeliever_n never_o to_o be_v forgive_v and_o to_o loose_v the_o sin_n of_o those_o that_o do_v true_o believe_v their_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n and_o thus_o they_o do_v open_v the_o book_n of_o conscience_n in_o the_o

himself_o but_o in_o regard_n they_o do_v preach_v the_o gospel_n by_o virtue_n of_o authority_n from_o christ_n and_o they_o be_v anoint_v by_o he_o to_o preach_v the_o everlasting_a gospel_n and_o

and_o thus_o that_o say_n of_o the_o scripture_n be_v fulfil_v that_o christ_n be_v anoint_a to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n of_o glad_a tiding_n of_o salvation_n for_o what_o his_o messenger_n do_v it_o
