in_o this_o commission_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o as_o peter_n have_v power_n to_o bind_v and_o loose_v or_o to_o remit_v and_o to_o retain_v so_o likewise_o have_v the_o same_o god_n give_v i_o

that_o the_o proverb_n of_o solomon_n be_v as_o good_a scripture_n to_o the_o quaker_n as_o any_o and_o how_o well_o the_o quaker_n know_v the_o scripture_n i_o be_o never_o a_o whit_n deceive_v in_o

of_o his_o pamphlet_n will_v be_v answer_v for_o it_o do_v consist_v most_o part_n of_o it_o upon_o this_o thing_n therefore_o i_o shall_v give_v answer_n to_o it_o that_o other_o may_v be_v the_o better_o inform_v in_o themselves_o though_o i_o be_o satisfy_v in_o it_o as_o to_o myself_o yet_o this_o i_o do_v ingenious_o confess_v that_o i_o never_o do_v pretend_v the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o civil_a law_n of_o the_o land_n neither_o do_v i._o now_o all_o the_o knowledge_n that_o i_o profess_v to_o know_v of_o they_o be_v to_o yield_v obedience_n unto_o they_o in_o do_v of_o they_o or_o else_o to_o suffer_v the_o penalty_n or_o punishment_n of_o they_o this_o be_v the_o great_a knowledge_n i_o have_v of_o they_o for_o if_o my_o innocency_n nor_o money_n will_v not_o deliver_v i_o i_o must_v and_o will_v suffer_v under_o it_o but_o since_o god_n have_v choose_v john_n reeve_n and_o myself_o to_o be_v his_o last_o witness_n of_o the_o spirit_n i_o know_v the_o better_a true_a power_n of_o a_o judge_n for_o as_o moses_n and_o aaron_n be_v the_o two_o first_o choose_v witness_n of_o god_n so_o likewise_o john_n reeve_n and_o myself_o be_v the_o two_o last_o that_o god_n will_v ever_o choose_v by_o voice_n of_o word_n to_o the_o hear_n of_o the_o ear_n and_o as_o aaron_n be_v give_v to_o be_v moses_n mouth_n so_o lodowick_n muggelton_n be_v give_v to_o be_v john_n reeve_n mouth_n these_o thing_n can_v be_v know_v but_o by_o faith_n neither_o can_v any_o man_n tell_v that_o god_n choose_v moses_n and_o aaron_n but_o by_o faith_n but_o if_o it_o be_v object_v that_o moses_n do_v miracle_n to_o that_o i_o answer_v that_o there_o be_v as_o much_o need_n of_o faith_n to_o believe_v that_o as_o the_o other_o for_o what_o can_v be_v see_v must_v be_v believe_v so_o believe_v that_o god_n speak_v to_o john_n reeve_n and_o that_o god_n give_v unto_o john_n reeve_n a_o commission_n by_o voice_n from_o heaven_n by_o verbal_a word_n to_o the_o hear_n of_o the_o ear_n three_o morning_n together_o and_o that_o i_o be_v give_v to_o be_v his_o mouth_n and_o by_o his_o voice_n do_v i_o receive_v my_o commission_n whereby_o i_o be_o impower_v to_o be_v a_o messenger_n and_o ambassador_n for_o the_o great_a god_n the_o man_n christ_n jesus_n which_o be_v both_o god_n and_o man_n who_o have_v choose_v i_o to_o be_v at_o this_o day_n chief_a judge_n and_o have_v give_v i_o a_o commission_n so_o to_o be_v as_o paul_n say_v in_o his_o time_n mean_v himself_o and_o the_o rest_n of_o his_o apostle_n we_o say_v he_o be_v ambassador_n in_o christ_n stead_n beseech_v you_o to_o be_v reconcile_v and_o the_o like_a so_o say_v i_o that_o i_o be_o a_o ambassador_n in_o christ_n stead_n to_o bless_v they_o that_o be_v reconcile_v unto_o the_o true_a faith_n in_o christ_n and_o to_o curse_v and_o damn_v those_o that_o despise_v and_o speak_v evil_a of_o they_o who_o god_n have_v send_v so_o that_o god_n have_v make_v i_o chief_a judge_n now_o to_o give_v sentence_n upon_o man_n and_o woman_n spiritual_a and_o eternal_a estate_n so_o that_o i_o shall_v unfold_v as_o short_a as_o i_o can_v how_o i_o may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v the_o chief_a judge_n and_o that_o i_o do_v go_v by_o as_o certain_a a_o rule_n as_o the_o judge_n of_o the_o land_n do_v when_o they_o give_v judgement_n according_a to_o law_n these_o two_o thing_n i_o shall_v unfold_v a_o little_a more_o clear_a than_o in_o those_o letter_n aforesaid_a first_o that_o i_o be_o chief_a judge_n in_o spiritual_a matter_n i_o prove_v thus_o because_o i_o do_v believe_v and_o certain_o know_v by_o the_o revelation_n of_o faith_n that_o god_n do_v speak_v to_o john_n reeve_n three_o morning_n together_o distinct_a word_n and_o sentence_n to_o the_o hear_n of_o the_o ear_n in_o the_o year_n 1651._o february_n the_o three_o four_o and_o five_o and_o give_v he_o a_o commission_n as_o he_o do_v moses_n and_o aaron_n be_v give_v to_o be_v moses_n his_o mouth_n so_o be_v lodowick_n muggelton_n give_v to_o be_v john_n reeve_n mouth_n so_o that_o john_n reeve_n be_v the_o chief_a while_o he_o be_v live_v but_o since_o the_o burden_n or_o commission_n of_o the_o lord_n have_v be_v lay_v upon_o i_o and_o as_o elisha_n have_v a_o double_a portion_n of_o eliahs_n spirit_n so_o have_v i_o have_v a_o double_a portion_n of_o revelation_n of_o the_o spirit_n in_o open_v the_o scripture_n since_o john_n reeve_n depart_v this_o life_n also_o god_n say_v that_o he_o have_v choose_v john_n reeve_n his_o last_o messenger_n and_o that_o he_o have_v give_v he_o lodowick_n muggelton_n to_o be_v his_o mouth_n and_o the_o next_o word_n follow_v that_o he_o have_v put_v the_o two_o edged-sword_n of_o his_o spirit_n into_o his_o mouth_n to_o pronounce_v blessing_n and_o curse_v to_o eternity_n with_o many_o other_o word_n which_o be_v in_o public_a therefore_o i_o shall_v say_v no_o more_o of_o they_o here_o so_o that_o john_n reeve_n be_v dead_a i_o must_v needs_o be_v chief_a judge_n in_o these_o day_n neither_o will_n god_n commissionate_v any_o more_o after_o i_o to_o the_o world_n end_n because_o he_o do_v say_v that_o he_o have_v choose_v we_o his_o last_o now_o i_o be_v his_o last_o choose_a messenger_n i_o must_v needs_o be_v chief_a judge_n of_o spiritual_a matter_n concern_v man_n and_o woman_n eternal_a estate_n and_o what_o will_v become_v of_o they_o after_o death_n if_o these_o thing_n can_v be_v believe_v by_o you_o quaker_n and_o other_o i_o can_v help_v that_o neither_o
