wit_n the_o three_o record_n in_o earth_n water_n blood_n and_o spirit_n that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o commission_n of_o moses_n the_o commission_n of_o jesus_n and_o the_o apostle_n and_o the_o commission_n of_o the_o spirit_n these_o be_v the_o three_o path_n which_o god_n do_v walk_v through_o which_o every_o commissionated_a prophet_n can_v find_v out_o god_n in_o that_o path_n he_o walk_v in_o thus_o when_o god_n spirit_n walk_v through_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n that_o be_v the_o path_n for_o god_n spirit_n to_o walk_v in_o the_o prophet_n afterward_o do_v find_v he_o out_o in_o that_o worship_n of_o the_o law_n so_o likewise_o when_o god_n spirit_n do_v walk_v in_o the_o path_n of_o the_o gospel_n the_o apostle_n do_v find_v he_o out_o in_o the_o gospel_n and_o can_v trace_v his_o step_n in_o the_o path_n of_o the_o law_n so_o that_o the_o apostle_n find_v god_n out_o in_o those_o two_o path_n aforesaid_a three_o the_o witness_n of_o the_o spirit_n have_v find_v god_n out_o in_o all_o his_o three_o path_n as_o thus_o 1._o the_o prophet_n keep_v close_o to_o the_o worship_n of_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n and_o therein_o they_o find_v god_n 2._o the_o apostle_n keep_v close_o to_o the_o worship_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o therein_o they_o find_v god_n 3._o the_o witness_n of_o the_o spirit_n keep_v close_o to_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n in_o spirit_n and_o truth_n these_o three_o record_n on_o earth_n be_v the_o three_o path_n for_o god_n to_o walk_v in_o and_o who_o ever_o do_v walk_v in_o they_o shall_v find_v he_o only_o i_o will_v have_v the_o seed_n of_o faith_n to_o mind_n what_o advantage_n one_o commission_n have_v over_o another_o the_o commission_n of_o the_o gospel_n have_v great_a advantage_n of_o those_o in_o the_o law_n in_o that_o the_o apostle_n know_v the_o path_n of_o the_o law_n and_o the_o path_n of_o the_o gospel_n also_o so_o that_o they_o have_v proof_n from_o moses_n and_o the_o prophet_n that_o they_o be_v choose_v to_o bear_v witness_n unto_o jesus_n and_o that_o worship_v set_v up_o by_o they_o when_o as_o moses_n have_v no_o book_n to_o proof_n he_o be_v choose_v of_o god_n but_o he_o have_v the_o power_n of_o miracle_n to_o prove_v he_o be_v send_v of_o god_n and_o the_o prophet_n after_o he_o have_v his_o writing_n to_o prove_v that_o god_n have_v appear_v to_o moses_n so_o that_o the_o prophet_n can_v go_v no_o further_o than_o moses_n and_o he_o that_o can_v trace_v the_o step_n of_o god_n until_o he_o come_v to_o moses_n he_o be_v sure_a to_o find_v god_n there_o but_o if_o any_o man_n go_v any_o further_a he_o can_v never_o find_v god_n at_o all_o so_o that_o the_o apostle_n advantage_n be_v great_a in_o that_o they_o have_v two_o path_n to_o walk_v in_o when_o as_o the_o prophet_n have_v but_o one_o for_o the_o prophet_n in_o their_o time_n do_v see_v that_o god_n will_v become_v flesh_n and_o the_o apostle_n do_v see_v that_o god_n be_v become_v flesh_n so_o that_o their_o advantage_n be_v great_a three_o the_o commission_n of_o the_o spirit_n have_v advantage_n above_o they_o both_o in_o this_o respect_n in_o that_o the_o worship_n of_o the_o spirit_n be_v spiritual_a without_o any_o outward_a ordinance_n so_o that_o the_o spirit_n of_o faith_n or_o revelation_n can_v walk_v through_o the_o path_n of_o the_o law_n and_o can_v find_v that_o god_n be_v there_o but_o he_o be_v not_o there_o now_o second_o this_o commission_n of_o the_o spirit_n can_v walk_v through_o the_o worship_n of_o the_o apostle_n and_o do_v find_v that_o god_n be_v there_o but_o he_o be_v not_o there_o now_o three_o so_o that_o god_n be_v walk_v now_o in_o the_o three_o path_n or_o three_o record_n on_o earth_n even_o the_o commission_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o there_o be_v no_o 〈◊〉_d for_o any_o man_n to_o find_v god_n but_o there_o for_o there_o be_v the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o true_a god_n and_o the_o true_a interpretation_n of_o the_o scripture_n so_o that_o this_o commission_n of_o the_o spirit_n it_o have_v a_o great_a advantage_n of_o the_o other_o two_o aforesaid_a in_o that_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o spirit_n be_v a_o high_a knowledge_n then_o that_o of_o the_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n and_o the_o interpretation_n of_o scripture_n more_o abundant_a than_o either_o prophet_n or_o apostle_n and_o more_o especial_o the_o interpretation_n of_o heavenly_a vision_n for_o this_o the_o seed_n of_o faith_n may_v mind_v that_o heavenly_a vision_n be_v hard_a to_o utter_v by_o those_o man_n that_o see_v they_o but_o it_o be_v more_o hard_a for_o a_o man_n to_o interpret_v that_o which_o he_o never_o see_v for_o any_o man_n reason_n will_v tell_v he_o that_o it_o be_v more_o easy_a for_o pharaoh_n and_o beltes●azzar_n to_o tell_v their_o

likewise_o god_n have_v give_v we_o the_o choose_a witness_n of_o the_o spirit_n more_o knowledge_n in_o the_o scripture_n than_o all_o the_o man_n in_o the_o world_n at_o this_o day_n and_o not_o

for_o true_a revelation_n always_o have_v some_o to_o add_v to_o it_o and_o some_o to_o take_v from_o it_o so_o that_o he_o that_o take_v from_o it_o god_n will_v take_v his_o part_n out_o of_o the_o

that_o be_v choose_v and_o send_v of_o god_n as_o moses_n and_o aaron_n peter_n and_o paul_n and_o we_o the_o witness_n of_o the_o spirit_n also_o none_o can_v interpret_v the_o scripture_n true_o

when_o they_o have_v hear_v the_o interpretation_n of_o scripture_n with_o many_o deep_a secret_n open_v and_o many_o heavenly_a mystery_n reveal_v which_o never_o be_v reveal_v before_o or_o that_o
