as_o ample_o as_o you_o but_o many_o more_o have_v it_o not_o this_o historical_a belief_n we_o little_a regard_n for_o as_o he_o that_o have_v it_o be_v not_o profit_v by_o it_o to_o his_o salvation_n so_o he_o that_o have_v it_o not_o be_v not_o hurt_v nor_o in_o danger_n for_o want_n of_o it_o churchman_n but_o i_o have_v hear_v some_o of_o you_o call_v it_o beneficial_a though_o not_o absolute_o necessary_a quaker_n some_o of_o we_o may_v call_v it_o so_o and_o perhaps_o think_v it_o so_o but_o i_o and_o many_o other_o faithful_a friend_n do_v not_o think_v it_o so_o for_o it_o be_v but_o the_o letter_n that_o kill_v the_o flesh_n profit_v nothing_o it_o be_v only_o the_o spirit_n that_o quicken_v paul_n renounce_v his_o knowledge_n of_o christ_n after_o the_o flesh_n pray_v what_o profit_n can_v be_v in_o that_o faith_n to_o we_o that_o pluck_v up_o our_o ancient_a testimony_n by_o the_o root_n as_o w._n p._n have_v well_o observe_v churchman_n i_o have_v hear_v some_o of_o you_o call_v the_o scripture_n a_o secondary_a rule_n of_o faith_n and_o i_o think_v i_o have_v read_v it_o in_o some_o of_o your_o friend_n book_n quaker_n perhaps_o thou_o have_v but_o all_o that_o be_v daub_v with_o untempered_a mortar_n thou_o shall_v find_v no_o such_o distinction_n i_o warrant_v thou_o in_o any_o of_o our_o most_o ancient_a and_o most_o approve_a friend_n book_n if_o the_o scripture_n be_v allow_v to_o be_v a_o secondary_a rule_n it_o teach_v nothing_o but_o what_o the_o primary_n rule_n the_o light_n within_o we_o and_o in_o every_o man_n first_o teach_v but_o the_o light_n within_o we_o and_o in_o every_o man_n teach_v we_o not_o that_o historical_a faith_n and_o doctrine_n thou_o contend_v for_o as_o that_o christ_n be_v god_n and_o man_n in_o one_o person_n have_v two_o nature_n and_o that_o as_o such_o he_o be_v the_o object_n of_o faith_n and_o worship_n churchman_n possible_o some_o of_o your_o friend_n that_o hold_v the_o scripture_n to_o be_v a_o secondary_a rule_n will_v say_v the_o light_n in_o all_o man_n will_v reveal_v christ_n god-man_n without_o they_o to_o be_v the_o object_n of_o their_o faith_n and_o worship_n if_o all_o man_n be_v due_o faithful_a and_o obedient_a to_o it_o quaker_n if_o they_o say_v or_o think_v so_o they_o be_v great_o mistake_v how_o many_o hundred_o of_o faithful_a man_n have_v we_o of_o our_o

light_n within_o they_o and_o take_v it_o for_o their_o rule_n of_o faith_n and_o life_n and_o yet_o if_o you_o ask_v they_o if_o their_o light_n within_o they_o do_v teach_v they_o any_o thing_n of_o a_o christ_n without_o they_o they_o will_v plain_o tell_v you_o nay_o churchman_n but_o i_o find_v not_o that_o your_o christian_a brethren_n the_o jew_n and_o mahometan_n and_o your_o deist_n brethren_n here_o in_o england_n own_o or_o confess_v a_o christ_n in_o they_o they_o seem_v as_o ignorant_a of_o any_o knowledge_n or_o faith_n of_o a_o christ_n within_o they_o as_o of_o a_o

enough_o to_o their_o christianity_n and_o salvation_n that_o they_o inward_o feel_v the_o power_n life_n and_o virtue_n of_o the_o thing_n itself_o they_o call_v it_o the_o light_n within_o and_o
