A44794	The heart of New-England hardned through wickednes in answer to a book, entituled the Heart of New-England rent, published by John Norton appointed thereunto by the General Court. The doctrine of the Quakers uindicated [sic], his ignorance manifested, and his lying doctrines brought to light and judged with the word of truth, and truth cleared from his aspersions and slanders. By him that waits to see the throne of righteousness exalted above all deceit. Francis Howgill.	Howgill, Francis, 1618-1669.	1659 (1659)	Wing H3166; ESTC R223647	32,471	42

ignorance_n and_o darkness_n to_o say_v and_o what_o rule_n be_v they_o under_o who_o have_v not_o the_o spirit_n or_o no_o measure_n of_o it_o there_o be_v but_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n and_o the_o spirit_n of_o error_n and_o they_o that_o be_v not_o rule_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n they_o be_v rule_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o error_n though_o they_o may_v have_v the_o word_n to_o fight_v with_o and_o quarrel_v about_o without_o the_o life_n but_o last_o of_o all_o thou_o have_v in_o plain_a word_n set_v the_o dead_a letter_n before_o the_o live_a spirit_n and_o say_v that_o the_o spirit_n be_v no_o spirit_n except_o it_o speak_v by_o the_o scripture_n and_o if_o the_o word_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o 17_o of_o john_n give_v a_o uncertain_a sound_n it_o be_v but_o to_o thy_o deaf_a ear_n and_o to_o thy_o blind_a understanding_n for_o he_o speak_v sound_o and_o certain_o and_o pray_v to_o the_o father_n that_o as_o the_o father_n and_o he_o be_v one_o so_o they_o also_o may_v be_v one_o be_v guide_v by_o the_o one_o spirit_n of_o the_o father_n in_o the_o son_n and_o that_o they_o may_v live_v in_o the_o unity_n of_o it_o and_o have_v unity_n one_o with_o another_o in_o it_o and_o with_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n in_o thy_o 15_o page_n though_o thou_o have_v set_v up_o the_o letter_n for_o a_o perfect_a rule_n of_o life_n yet_o here_o thou_o throw_v it_o down_o again_o and_o say_v it_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v as_o include_v consequence_n for_o the_o great_a part_n of_o scripture_n be_v consequence_n and_o the_o scripture_n can_v be_v true_a without_o consequence_n for_o thomas_n and_o mary_n be_v neither_o command_v obedience_n or_o forbid_a disobedience_n for_o we_o nowhere_o read_v thou_o thomas_n or_o thou_o mary_n be_v therein_o command_v obedience_n or_o forbid_a disobedience_n such_o a_o one_o by_o name_n do_v this_o or_o that_o answ._n i_o tell_v thou_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n be_v unlimited_a and_o whether_o it_o speak_v of_o degree_n or_o measure_n of_o a_o great_a or_o less_o thing_n or_o whether_o it_o speak_v the_o great_a first_o and_o the_o lesser_a after_o whether_o it_o speak_v from_o major_a to_o minor_fw-la or_o from_o minor_a to_o major_n or_o what_o may_v true_o follow_v either_o from_o the_o great_a to_o the_o less_o or_o from_o the_o less_o to_o the_o great_a it_o be_v all_o truth_n but_o thy_o consequence_n be_v no_o part_n of_o this_o the_o spirit_n still_o demonstrate_v its_o own_o mind_n by_o what_o word_n and_o term_n and_o expression_n it_o please_v and_o will_v not_o be_v limit_v or_o confine_v to_o this_o or_o that_o form_n of_o word_n and_o thou_o err_v gross_o neither_o know_v the_o scripture_n nor_o the_o power_n of_o god_n and_o thy_o consequence_n be_v false_a for_o there_o be_v the_o individual_a person_n or_o name_n of_o thomas_n and_o mary_n both_o command_v obedience_n and_o forbid_a disobedience_n and_o if_o thou_o have_v never_o read_v this_o in_o scripture_n i_o inform_v thou_o and_o instruct_v thou_o thou_o may_v read_v the_o 20_o of_o john_n 16_o 17._o where_o jesus_n say_v unto_o mary_n she_o turn_v herself_o and_o say_v unto_o he_o rabboni_n which_o be_v to_o say_v master_n jesus_n say_v unto_o she_o touch_v i_o not_o for_o i_o be_o not_o yet_o ascend_v here_o be_v a_o prohibition_n and_o forbid_v that_o she_o shall_v not_o touch_v he_o second_o here_o be_v a_o command_n of_o obedience_n but_o go_v unto_o my_o brethren_n and_o say_v unto_o they_o i_o ascend_v to_o my_o father_n and_o your_o father_n to_o my_o god_n and_o your_o god_n and_o in_o the_o same_o chapter_n thou_o may_v read_v in_o the_o 27_o where_o christ_n speak_v unto_o thomas_n by_o name_n after_o his_o resurrection_n then_o say_v he_o to_o thomas_n reach_v hither_o thy_o finger_n and_o behold_v my_o hand_n and_o reach_v hither_o thy_o hand_n and_o thrust_v it_o into_o my_o side_n here_o be_v a_o command_n to_o be_v obey_v and_o be_v not_o faithless_a there_o be_v a_o prohibition_n or_o a_o forbid_n of_o unbelief_n and_o so_o thy_o foolishness_n be_v manifest_a and_o ignorance_n of_o the_o scripture_n some_o of_o it_o thou_o say_v be_v a_o uncertain_a sound_n and_o the_o scripture_n forementioned_a thou_o have_v deny_v or_o else_o never_o have_v read_v it_o and_o so_o be_v unacquainted_a with_o thy_o rule_n which_o thou_o quarrel_v and_o fight_v so_o much_o about_o and_o then_o thou_o come_v and_o say_v thou_o will_v vindicate_v some_o scripture_n and_o cite_v 1_o john_n 9_o that_o this_o be_v the_o true_a light_n which_o light_v every_o man_n that_o come_v into_o the_o world_n hence_o they_o affirm_v that_o there_o be_v a_o light_n in_o every_o man_n which_o be_v follow_v be_v a_o infallible_a guide_n and_o that_o this_o light_n which_o light_v every_o man_n be_v the_o rule_n of_o life_n and_o not_o the_o write_a word_n thy_o answer_n be_v the_o sense_n of_o the_o text_n be_v notorious_o false_a and_o thy_o reason_n be_v if_o christ_n the_o true_a light_n that_o light_v every_o man_n be_v the_o rule_n than_o righteousness_n shall_v be_v by_o the_o law_n for_o the_o light_n which_o be_v in_o every_o man_n be_v not_o gospel_n light_n but_o there_o be_v a_o natural_a light_n or_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n which_o be_v to_o be_v construe_v in_o opposition_n to_o spiritual_a and_o the_o light_n of_o

and_o it_o will_v teach_v we_o not_o to_o lie_v nor_o steal_v and_o it_o will_v lead_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o one_o god_n and_o yet_o it_o be_v in_o opposition_n to_o one_o spirit_n and_o it_o will_v lead_v to_o know_v eternity_n omnipotency_n and_o it_o will_v lead_v to_o know_v the_o creator_n yet_o it_o be_v contradistinct_a to_o the_o spirit_n answ._n the_o scripture_n need_v none_o of_o thy_o vindication_n for_o thou_o have_v defame_v it_o and_o say_v christ_n word_n be_v a_o uncertain_a sound_n and_o thou_o have_v say_v that_o neither_o mary_n nor_o thomas_n be_v command_v obedience_n thou_o may_v look_v back_o of_o thy_o lie_n and_o repent_v of_o they_o and_o why_o be_v the_o sense_n of_o the_o text_n utter_o false_a that_o christ_n be_v the_o true_a light_n that_o light_v every_o man_n that_o come_v into_o the_o world_n without_o exception_n and_o why_o be_v this_o utter_o false_a if_o he_o be_v follow_v that_o he_o who_o be_v the_o true_a light_n be_v a_o infallible_a guide_n and_o the_o rule_n of_o life_n have_v he_o not_o enlight_v every_o man_n that_o come_v into_o the_o world_n if_o thou_o make_v exception_n where_o the_o spirit_n make_v none_o than_o thou_o pervert_v the_o scripture_n do_v not_o he_o say_v i_o be_o the_o light_n of_o the_o world_n the_o world_n in_o the_o scripture_n account_n be_v set_v in_o opposition_n to_o believer_n for_o believer_n be_v not_o of_o this_o world_n but_o be_v redeem_v out_o of_o it_o as_o for_o example_n god_n so_o love_v the_o world_n that_o he_o send_v his_o son_n into_o the_o world_n that_o whosoever_o do_v believe_v in_o he_o may_v not_o perish_v but_o have_v everlasting_a life_n for_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o the_o saint_n and_o believer_n have_v life_n give_v already_o that_o follow_v christ_n and_o be_v his_o sheep_n and_o say_v christ_n i_o put_v they_o forth_o and_o go_v before_o they_o and_o give_v unto_o they_o eternal_a life_n and_o he_o say_v to_o they_o who_o have_v not_o eternal_a life_n while_o you_o have_v the_o light_n believe_v in_o it_o that_o you_o may_v be_v the_o child_n of_o it_o and_o be_v not_o christ_n god_n righteousness_n who_o be_v give_v for_o a_o covenant_n of_o light_n to_o the_o blind_a and_o dead_a and_o lame_a and_o to_o the_o dumb_a to_o open_v their_o eye_n to_o quicken_v they_o to_o make_v they_o leap_v as_o a_o hart_n and_o their_o tongue_n to_o sing_v and_o utter_v forth_o praise_n we_o say_v righteousness_n be_v not_o by_o the_o law_n but_o by_o christ_n that_o light_v every_o man_n who_o be_v the_o end_n of_o the_o
