that_o the_o poor_a confuse_a man_n run_v on_o so_o sensles_o and_o rave_v against_o it_o and_o yet_o have_v no_o ground_n or_o understanding_n in_o he_o at_o all_o so_o that_o i_o lament_v his_o

that_o he_o may_v first_o see_v and_o understand_v ere_o he_o judge_v 7._o for_o the_o poor_a blind_a man_n reject_v many_o a_o thing_n in_o my_o book_n and_o set_v even_o such_o a_o thing_n in_o the_o place_n thereof_o as_o my_o meaning_n be_v in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o it_o which_o make_v i_o wonder_v how_o he_o be_v such_o a_o zealous_a saul_n and_o be_v zealous_a for_o the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o yet_o have_v no_o apprehension_n of_o it_o at_o all_o in_o the_o light_n of_o god_n i_o wish_v hearty_o that_o the_o light_n to_o saul_n at_o damascus_n may_v shine_v round_o about_o he_o that_o he_o may_v become_v a_o paul_n see_v he_o be_v so_o zealous_a then_o may_v his_o zeal_n be_v profitable_a towards_o the_o further_a the_o salvation_n of_o man._n 8._o but_o so_o long_o as_o he_o be_v in_o such_o a_o way_n as_o to_o blaspheme_v reproach_n and_o persecute_v and_o so_o to_o rage_v in_o blindness_n as_o saul_n do_v he_o will_v effect_v nothing_o but_o only_o rave_v against_o god_n to_o his_o great_a condemnation_n and_o will_v but_o confound_v those_o who_o he_o think_v to_o teach_v and_o lead_v they_o deep_o into_o darkness_n 9_o for_o he_o have_v conceive_v such_o a_o opinion_n in_o his_o reason_n which_o it_o be_v much_o better_o he_o have_v never_o set_v it_o down_o in_o paper_n also_o i_o be_o very_o much_o afraid_a that_o satan_n have_v cast_v his_o own_o self-reason_n without_o divine_a light_n into_o such_o a_o prison_n and_o captivate_v he_o with_o such_o a_o snare_n out_o of_o which_o it_o will_v be_v hard_a to_o break_v forth_o and_o without_o the_o divine_a light_n can_v at_o all_o be_v do_v 10._o but_o now_o see_v it_o be_v apparent_a that_o not_o only_o he_o but_o other_o also_o be_v encumber_a and_o perplex_a with_o the_o purpose_n or_o predestination_n and_o election_n of_o god_n and_o do_v thus_o represent_v the_o omnipotence_n of_o god_n after_o such_o a_o manner_n wherein_o they_o go_v on_o in_o ignorance_n very_o confuse_o and_o understand_v nothing_o of_o god_n will_n to_o good_a and_o evil_a much_o less_o do_v they_o know_v what_o god_n be_v from_o whence_o horrible_a opinion_n be_v conclude_v of_o and_o yet_o this_o man_n in_o such_o confuse_a reason_n so_o shameless_o intend_v to_o disgrace_v and_o suppress_v my_o write_n which_o yet_o have_v a_o far_o deep_a ground_n than_o he_o ever_o understand_v therefore_o it_o

of_o my_o talon_n which_o be_v give_v to_o i_o of_o god_n for_o man_n know_v very_o well_o that_o i_o be_o no_o doctor_n from_o the_o school_n of_o this_o world_n if_o it_o be_v not_o give_v to_o i_o

which_o without_o the_o light_n of_o god_n i_o shall_v indeed_o be_v blind_a 13._o but_o see_v the_o man_n with_o his_o pamphlet_n annex_v so_o my_o write_n understand_v nothing_o at_o all_o of_o the_o mystery_n of_o the_o substance_n of_o all_o substance_n much_o less_o the_o principle_n to_o the_o c●nter_v in_o the_o principle_n and_o yet_o undertake_v to_o reprove_v my_o write_n also_o with_o a_o strange_a understanding_n quite_o contrary_a to_o my_o sense_n or_o meaning_n and_o pervert_v my_o sense_n or_o thought_n into_o a_o strange_a and_o very_a foolish_a understanding_n only_o

i_o be_o as_o it_o be_v necessitate_v to_o wash_v the_o dirt_n from_o my_o sense_n and_o apprehension_n 14._o see_v he_o begin_v so_o artificial_o and_o drag_v the_o scripture_n by_o the_o hair_n of_o

in_o the_o allege_a term_n or_o text_n or_o no_o only_o that_o he_o may_v bring_v scripture_n and_o letter_n and_o exchange_v word_n with_o word_n and_o thereby_o cloak_n his_o erroneous_a meaning_n with_o such_o a_o semblance_n so_o he_o do_v but_o bring_v scripture_n for_o it_o and_o though_o many_o time_n in_o my_o write_n i_o handle_v not_o just_a that_o very_a matter_n that_o he_o will_v answer_v with_o scripture_n but_o bring_v clean_o another_o mean_v and_o that_o he_o pervert_v my_o sense_n to_o the_o quite_o contrary_a and_o thereby_o will_v make_v it_o suspect_v therefore_o i_o will_v a_o little_a summary_o and_o brief_o answer_v he_o to_o his_o asperse_v objection_n not_o in_o that_o manner_n as_o to_o contend_v with_o he_o but_o for_o those_o to_o consider_v of_o that_o

and_o 2._o have_v not_o the_o faith_n 16._o for_o faith_n be_v not_o a_o historical_a conceit_n but_o a_o right_a life_n the_o spirit_n of_o god_n must_v be_v generate_v in_o the_o centre_n through_o
