these_o what_o do_v they_o bring_v to_o satisfy_v a_o wise_a man_n that_o they_o only_o among_o all_o these_o and_o many_o other_o sect_n be_v in_o the_o right_a reason_n 23._o moreover_o the_o way_n by_o which_o they_o prevail_v be_v not_o by_o produce_v any_o evidence_n for_o they_o renounce_v that_o and_o offer_v you_o all_o on_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o spirit_n within_o they_o and_o therefore_o they_o must_v prove_v that_o authority_n and_o their_o revelation_n and_o divine_a mission_n by_o miracle_n or_o such_o supernatural_a mean_n before_o any_o reasonable_a man_n can_v believe_v they_o unless_o you_o will_v believe_v every_o man_n that_o say_v he_o be_v send_v of_o god_n i_o have_v ask_v they_o to_o show_v their_o commission_n from_o god_n or_o prove_v that_o he_o

say_v this_o more_o than_o other_o man_n can_v i_o see_v the_o witness_n in_o he_o he_o must_v be_v a_o witness_n to_o i_o if_o he_o will_v have_v credit_n the_o minister_n of_o christ_n do_v not_o call_v you_o to_o receive_v their_o doctrine_n upon_o the_o authority_n of_o themselves_o or_o their_o own_o mission_n but_o of_o the_o apostle_n and_o their_o mission_n from_o who_o they_o prove_v they_o have_v it_o and_o who_o seal_v it_o with_o miracle_n long_o ago_o and_o therefore_o whether_o we_o be_v minister_n or_o no_o you_o have_v reason_n to_o believe_v we_o when_o we_o prove_v our_o doctrine_n to_o be_v from_o god_n as_o deliver_v by_o apostle_n in_o scripture_n and_o seal_v by_o the_o spirit_n but_o quaker_n that_o give_v we_o their_o doctrine_n on_o a_o new_a authority_n within_o they_o and_o so_o behmenist_n paraceisian_n and_o all_o enthusiast_n and_o papist_n that_o give_v it_o we_o on_o their_o own_o authority_n as_o above_o or_o before_o the_o scripture_n authority_n these_o be_v bind_v to_o prove_v their_o pretend_a authority_n by_o miracle_n if_o they_o will_v be_v believe_v by_o wise_a man_n that_o love_v their_o salvation_n and_o we_o see_v that_o it_o be_v by_o the_o novelty_n and_o the_o seriousness_n and_o earnestness_n of_o speech_n and_o threaten_a hell_n to_o poor_a people_n that_o frightneth-in_a their_o follower_n to_o they_o and_o not_o by_o evidence_n of_o truth_n i_o have_v urge_v many_o of_o they_o to_o name_v one_o truth_n which_o the_o quaker_n hold_v but_o what_o we_o hold_v as_o well_o as_o they_o and_o i_o can_v never_o yet_o hear_v of_o any_o one_o reason_n 24._o last_o they_o teach_v but_o such_o like_a doctrine_n and_o take_v the_o like_a course_n as_o many_o of_o the_o ancient_a heretic_n do_v of_o who_o epiphanius_n irenaeus_n and_o other_o ancient_n will_v give_v you_o a_o full_a account_n present_o after_o the_o apostle_n day_n just_a such_o heretic_n as_o these_o arise_v and_o trouble_v the_o
