that_o down_o so_o many_o minister_n for_o be_v call_v master_n but_o alas_o do_v you_o not_o know_v that_o pride_n of_o inward_a qualification_n common_o call_v spiritual_a pride_n be_v the_o most_o kill_a and_o abominable_a the_o better_o the_o thing_n be_v that_o you_o be_v proud_a of_o the_o worse_o be_v your_o pride_n o_o what_o a_o brave_a thing_n do_v it_o seem_v in_o these_o man_n eye_n that_o they_o shall_v seem_v to_o be_v possess_v with_o such_o a_o excellent_a spirit_n as_o can_v trample_v upon_o worldly_a glory_n and_o can_v boisterous_o contemn_v all_o that_o be_v not_o of_o their_o sect_n and_o that_o can_v despise_v dignity_n and_o be_v equal_a with_o the_o great_a yea_o that_o only_o they_o shall_v have_v this_o admirable_a spirit_n and_o all_o o-other_n be_v the_o child_n of_o the_o devil_n and_o under_o their_o foot_n though_o other_o man_n shall_v never_o so_o much_o sl●eght_n they_o yet_o do_v they_o wonderful_o please_v themselves_o with_o these_o high_a thought_n of_o themselves_o for_o pride_n be_v first_o a_o overvalue_n of_o a_o man_n self_n and_o think_v of_o himself_o above_o what_o be_v meet_v and_o then_o a_o desire_n that_o other_o shall_v do_v so_o by_o he_o too_o if_o yet_o you_o see_v not_o the_o pride_n of_o these_o man_n i_o will_v show_v it_o you_o in_o these_o four_o particular_a evidence_n and_o that_o so_o plain_o that_o if_o you_o know_v the_o difference_n between_o the_o language_n of_o heaven_n and_o of_o hell_n you_o may_v easy_o perceive_v the_o devil_n speak_v by_o their_o mouth_n 1._o they_o affirm_v themselves_o to_o be_v perfect_a without_o sin_n yea_o some_o of_o they_o say_v they_o be_v christ_n and_o god_n and_o be_v it_o possible_a that_o any_o man_n in_o this_o life_n that_o be_v not_o mad_a with_o spiritual_a pride_n can_v indeed_o believe_v that_o he_o have_v no_o sin_n what_o that_o he_o transgress_v no_o law_n that_o he_o do_v love_n god_n in_o the_o high_a degree_n that_o he_o be_v bind_v to_o do_v that_o he_o never_o have_v a_o thought_n or_o word_n that_o be_v sinful_a nor_o sinful_o lose_v one_o minute_n of_o his_o time_n yea_o and_o this_o when_o in_o the_o eye_n and_o ear_n of_o the_o wise_a they_o foam_v out_o their_o own_o shame_n as_o the_o rage_a sea_n do_v cast_v out_o the_o dirt_n the_o devil_n himself_o have_v either_o less_o pride_n or_o less_o ignorance_n then_o to_o think_v himself_o to_o be_v perfect_a without_o sin_n if_o they_o have_v no_o sin_n what_o need_v they_o pray_v forgive_v we_o our_o sin_n or_o what_o further_a need_n have_v they_o of_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n or_o his_o intercession_n to_o procure_v they_o any_o further_a forgiveness_n if_o you_o can_v see_v no_o pride_n in_o this_o i_o fear_v you_o be_v blind_v with_o they_o to_o destruction_n 2._o and_o be_v it_o not_o apparent_a pride_n in_o they_o to_o set_v up_o themselves_o so_o far_o above_o all_o the_o people_n of_o god_n on_o earth_n yea_o to_o vilify_v the_o most_o holy_a and_o eminent_a servant_n of_o god_n and_o condemn_v all_o the_o church_n in_o the_o world_n as_o if_o heaven_n be_v make_v for_o they_o alone_o if_o it_o be_v so_o well_o that_o all_o of_o they_o do_v believe_v a_o heaven_n beside_o that_o within_o they_o which_o i_o suppose_v be_v but_o a_o sorry_a heaven_n 3._o and_o yet_o more_o unmatchable_a pride_n and_o impious_a infidelity_n be_v it_o to_o damn_v all_o the_o church_n and_o people_n of_o god_n for_o this_o 1600_o year_n at_o least_o indeed_o god_n have_v never_o a_o people_n on_o earth_n of_o these_o man_n way_n but_o to_o let_v pass_v the_o scripture_n age_z which_o condemn_v they_o tell_v i_o have_v christ_n any_o church_n since_o the_o apostle_n day_n till_o now_o or_o not_o if_o he_o have_v not_o than_o he_o be_v no_o head_n of_o the_o church_n and_o so_o no_o christ_n for_o there_o be_v no_o head_n without_o a_o body_n if_o he_o have_v a_o church_n tell_v we_o where_o it_o be_v and_o when_o do_v you_o not_o know_v if_o you_o know_v any_o thing_n of_o the_o state_n of_o the_o church_n for_o 1600_o year_n that_o christ_n have_v no_o church_n on_o earth_n of_o the_o quaker_n mind_n and_o that_o all_o his_o minister_n have_v be_v such_o as_o they_o condemn_v and_o have_v be_v call_v by_o as_o honourable_a title_n as_o they_o be_v now_o and_o be_v not_o that_o man_n either_o a_o infidel_n and_o enemy_n to_o christ_n or_o stark_o mad_a with_o pride_n that_o can_v believe_v that_o christ_n have_v no_o church_n till_o now_o and_o that_o all_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n for_o 1600_o year_n be_v the_o minister_n of_o the_o devil_n as_o they_o say_v of_o we_o that_o tread_v in_o their_o step_n and_o that_o all_o the_o christian_n of_o that_o 1600_o year_n be_v damn_v at_o now_o they_o dare_v denounce_v against_o those_o that_o succeed_v they_o and_o that_o god_n make_v the_o world_n and_o christ_n die_v for_o it_o with_o a_o purpose_n to_o save_v none_o but_o a_o few_o quaker_n that_o the_o world_n never_o know_v till_o a_o few_o year_n ago_o or_o at_o least_o a_o few_o heretic_n that_o be_v their_o predecessor_n of_o old_a 4._o and_o i_o shall_v suppose_v that_o their_o proud_a scornful_a rail_a language_n shall_v put_v it_o out_o of_o doubt_n what_o spirit_n they_o be_v of_o to_o any_o that_o be_v acquaint_v with_o the_o language_n of_o christ_n spirit_n and_o of_o satan_n and_o be_v able_a to_o judge_v of_o spirit_n by_o the_o most_o palpable_a effect_n and_o to_o know_v darkness_n from_o light_n but_o you_o say_v it_o be_v scripture-language_n which_o they_o speak_v i_o answer_v the_o great_a be_v their_o presumptuous_a sin_n in_o make_v so_o ill_a a_o use_n of_o scripture-language_n as_o to_o serve_v satan_n by_o it_o and_o use_v it_o to_o revile_v what_o if_o christ_n call_v judas_n a_o devil_n be_v it_o therefore_o lawful_a to_o call_v pere_a so_o or_o any_o faithful_a servant_n of_o christ_n but_o i_o perceive_v you_o think_v they_o just_o condemn_v we_o because_o we_o be_v call_v master_n of_o man_n contrary_a to_o matth._n 23._o alas_o that_o a_o christian_n shall_v be_v so_o ignorant_a as_o not_o to_o know_v that_o even_o call_v master_n and_o lord_n too_o be_v common_o allow_v of_o in_o scripture_n and_o that_o it_o be_v not_o the_o title_n but_o 1._o the_o proud_a affect_n of_o the_o title_n 2._o and_o the_o lording_n it_o over_o man_n faith_n as_o master_n of_o that_o as_o if_o other_o must_v be_v of_o their_o mind_n right_a or_o wrong_n which_o christ_n there_o condemn_v even_o as_o in_o the_o same_o place_n he_o forbid_v be_v call_v father_n in_o the_o very_a same_o sense_n when_o yet_o it_o be_v frequent_o allow_v in_o a_o better_a sense_n but_o for_o the_o full_a answer_v of_o these_o scruple_n of_o you_o and_o the_o rest_n about_o tithe_n and_o such_o like_a i_o send_v you_o herewith_o a_o answer_n to_o the_o question_n of_o some_o quaker_n near_o we_o in_o the_o parish_n of_o bromsgrove_n and_o refer_v you_o to_o my_o defence_n of_o the_o worcester_n shire_n petition_v print_v some_o year_n ago_o to_o your_o question_n what_o i_o think_v of_o these_o man_n i_o will_v tell_v you_o what_o i_o think_v and_o be_o past_a all_o doubt_n of_o there_o be_v in_o england_n a_o company_n of_o young_a raw_a professor_n that_o have_v more_o zeal_n than_o knowledge_n and_o there_o be_v a_o company_n of_o carnal_a hypocrite_n that_o place_v all_o their_o religion_n in_o hold_v certain_a opinion_n and_o use_v certain_a external_a worship_n and_o side_v with_o a_o religious_a party_n it_o be_v no_o hard_a matter_n to_o mislead_v all_o these_o if_o they_o be_v not_o better_o guide_v by_o other_o then_o by_o themselves_o while_o they_o have_v due_a regard_n to_o the_o judgement_n of_o their_o teacher_n that_o know_v more_o than_o themselves_o and_o so_o live_v in_o a_o learning_n way_n till_o they_o have_v attain_v to_o better_a understanding_n they_o may_v escape_v deceiver_n but_o if_o they_o be_v once_o bring_v to_o be_v wise_a enough_o in_o their_o own_o eye_n and_o to_o despise_v their_o teacher_n than_o they_o be_v like_o a_o man_n that_o have_v lose_v his_o way_n in_o a_o dark_a night_n or_o that_o have_v lose_v his_o guide_n in_o a_o unknown_a wilderness_n or_o like_o a_o dog_n that_o have_v lose_v his_o master_n and_o therefore_o will_v be_v ready_a to_o follow_v anybody_o that_o first_o whistle_v to_o he_o the_o papist_n and_o the_o devil_n know_v this_o well_o enough_o and_o therefore_o their_o first_o endeavour_n be_v to_o unsettle_v these_o people_n by_o take_v they_o off_o all_o dependence_n on_o their_o guide_n and_o that_o must_v be_v by_o bring_v the_o minister_n into_o contempt_n with_o they_o for_o if_o they_o can_v
