within_o for_o say_v he_o it_o be_v divine_a supernatural_a and_o uncircumscribable_a and_o in_o it_o be_v hide_v all_o the_o treasure_n of_o wisdom_n and_o knowledge_n allude_v i_o suppose_v to_o

or_o he_o can_v call_v it_o uncircumscribable_a since_o as_o have_v be_v observe_v in_o the_o precede_a page_n they_o do_v not_o make_v it_o to_o be_v the_o proper_a essence_n or_o substance_n of_o

inquire_v think_v it_o altogether_o impertihent_v but_o sure_o i_o be_o that_o they_o have_v often_o testify_v and_o declare_v that_o the_o light_n be_v not_o the_o proper_a essence_n of_o god_n but_o a_o certain_a middle_n be_v between_o god_n and_o man_n and_o if_o they_o will_v afterward_o testify_v and_o declare_v that_o it_o be_v the_o very_a same_o with_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n which_o be_v real_o and_o true_o god_n i_o think_v they_o will_v evident_o testify_v against_o themselves_o and_o declare_v contradiction_n and_o then_o it_o be_v no_o great_a matter_n what_o thy_o testify_z or_o declare_v but_o beside_o suppose_v they_o do_v make_v the_o light_n to_o be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o with_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n which_o according_a to_o that_o of_o st._n john_n will_v guide_v into_o all_o truth_n yet_o it_o be_v plain_a from_o the_o forego_n measure_n that_o they_o must_v and_o from_o the_o context_n of_o the_o place_n that_o they_o ought_v to_o mean_v it_o only_o of_o spiritual_a save_v and_o necessary_a truth_n which_o may_v very_o well_o confist_n with_o their_o suppose_a confinement_n of_o the_o light_n but_o how_o can_v this_o be_v so_o confine_v when_o mr._n vickris_n testify_v again_o and_o declare_v that_o the_o divine_a light_n do_v assist_v the_o natural_a faculty_n of_o the_o soul_n in_o the_o attainment_n of_o art_n and_o science_n but_o 7._o how_o be_v this_o consistent_a with_o what_o he_o say_v in_o the_o beginning_n of_o his_o book_n where_o he_o call_v this_o corrupt_a wisdom_n and_o the_o forbid_v fruit_n and_o what_o will_v prove_v

of_o this_o writer_n when_o it_o will_v serve_v his_o turn_n to_o disparage_v and_o down_o human_a learning_n then_o it_o be_v corrupt_a wisdom_n forbid_v fruit_n and_o i_o know_v not_o what_o and_o when_o he_o have_v another_o turn_n to_o serve_v that_o be_v to_o contradict_v i_o than_o this_o wisdom_n as_o corrupt_v as_o it_o be_v be_v teach_v we_o by_o the_o instruction_n of_o the_o divine_a light_n but_o stay_v sir_n though_o this_o divine_a light_n be_v not_o as_o you_o say_v the_o very_a essence_n of_o god_n yet_o be_v it_o so_o far_o divide_v against_o he_o as_o to_o teach_v what_o be_v contrary_a to_o he_o and_o what_o his_o wisdom_n ever_o do_v and_o will_v confound_v be_v the_o divine_a light_n and_o the_o divine_a wisdom_n at_o such_o defiance_n with_o each_o other_o but_o it_o be_v mr._n vickris_n that_o be_v at_o defiance_n with_o himself_o and_o i_o be_o afraid_a will_v not_o easy_o be_v reconcile_v for_o if_o the_o divine_a light_n teach_v this_o sort_n of_o wisdom_n then_o it_o be_v not_o corrupt_a which_o contradict_v what_o he_o say_v in_o the_o other_o place_n and_o if_o this_o sort_n of_o wisdom_n be_v corrupt_a than_o the_o divine_a light_n do_v not_o teach_v it_o as_o be_v a_o pure_a and_o clean_a principle_n and_o such_o as_o can_v consent_v to_o 338._o any_o evil_a or_o wickedness_n which_o contradict_v what_o he_o say_v here_o so_o that_o either_o way_n contradiction_n be_v his_o doom_n as_o to_o what_o i_o say_v concern_v the_o quaker_n make_v the_o light_n within_o a_o supplement_n to_o scripture_n etc._n etc._n it_o be_v not_o intend_v as_o a_o direct_a and_o particular_a objection_n against_o they_o of_o itself_o but_o only_o to_o confirm_v the_o other_o wherein_o they_o be_v charge_v with_o confine_v it_o to_o moral_a and_o spiritual_a truth_n in_o order_n to_o the_o direction_n of_o practice_n for_o that_o be_v the_o acknowledge_a end_n and_o use_v of_o scripture_n it_o seem_v a_o high_a presumption_n that_o what_o be_v make_v a_o supplement_n to_o the_o scripture_n be_v also_o intend_a for_o the_o very_a same_o end_n and_o use_v and_o therefore_o mr._n vickris_n need_v not_o have_v oppose_v himself_o against_o this_o as_o a_o direct_a and_o particular_a objection_n it_o be_v not_o by_o i_o either_o intend_a or_o use_v as_o such_o for_o whatever_o my_o thought_n may_v be_v concern_v the_o

about_o that_o matter_n only_o i_o will_v desire_v mr._n vickris_n and_o his_o brethren_n by_o the_o way_n to_o consider_v whether_o they_o can_v answer_v that_o argument_n of_o episcopius_n whereby_o he_o prove_v the_o vanity_n and_o absurdity_n of_o the_o spiritualist_n as_o he_o call_v they_o in_o make_v the_o inward_a word_n the_o interpreter_n of_o scripture_n either_o say_v he_o they_o will_v 253._o have_v that_o inward_a word_n as_o they_o call_v it_o to_o have_v a_o intelligible_a sense_n in_o it_o or_o not_o to_o have_v a_o intelligible_a sense_n if_o they_o will_v have_v it_o to_o contain_v a_o intelligible_a sense_n than_o they_o must_v grant_v that_o that_o sense_n be_v perceive_v by_o the_o understanding_n may_v be_v pronounce_v and_o express_v by_o outward_a speech_n and_o if_o so_o than_o it_o follow_v that_o this_o sense_n may_v also_o be_v write_v since_o whatever_o be_v pronounce_v by_o the_o mouth_n may_v also_o be_v express_v in_o writing_n but_o then_o this_o write_a sense_n will_v again_o be_v nothing_o else_o than_o a_o external_a word_n which_o be_v express_v in_o letter_n will_v according_a to_o they_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o inky_a letter_n or_o scripture_n which_o they_o deny_v to_o be_v sufficient_a but_o if_o they_o will_v have_v this_o inward_a word_n to_o have_v in_o it_o no_o intelligible_a sense_n or_o that_o may_v be_v pronounce_v or_o write_v than_o it_o will_v necessary_o follow_v that_o this_o their_o word_n be_v no_o word_n or_o only_o a_o vain_a and_o foolish_a word_n for_o such_o must_v that_o word_n be_v which_o have_v no_o intelligible_a sense_n if_o they_o say_v that_o this_o word_n be_v not_o perceive_v but_o by_o he_o upon_o who_o it_o be_v immediate_o impress_v by_o god_n then_o i_o say_v again_o either_o it_o be_v impress_v without_o any_o intelligible_a sense_n or_o with_o it_o if_o without_o any_o than_o the_o same_o difficulty_n will_v return_v viz._n that_o it_o be_v a_o vain_a and_o foolish_a word_n but_o if_o it_o be_v imprint_v with_o intelligible_a sense_n than_o what_o hinder_v but_o that_o it_o may_v be_v express_v and_o write_v and_o then_o how_o will_v it_o differ_v from_o that_o write_a word_n we_o have_v hitherto_o treat_v of_o but_o he_o tell_v i_o that_o these_o word_n supplement_n to_o scripture_n be_v my_o own_o not_o they_o it_o may_v be_v so_o i_o will_v not_o
