A35520	This is an answer to John Wiggans book, spread up and down in Lancashire, Cheshire and Wales, who is a baptist & a monarchy-man wherein may be seen how he exalts himself, against Christ the light, that doth enlighten every man : and also some of his, and his peoples erronious principles, and assertions, which he and his people held in a dispute, with some Quakers ... / from the prisoners at Lancaster, whom he then opposed being then a prisoner, Thomas Curwen, William Houlden, Henery Wood, William VVilson ; also here is an answer to his appendix annexed to the book by Margaret Fell.	Curwen, Thomas.; Fox, Margaret Askew Fell, 1614-1702.	1665 (1665)	Wing C7703; ESTC R40138	135,639	157

thou_o that_o thou_o hate_v the_o light_n and_o when_o thou_o say_v the_o plague_n of_o god_n be_v upon_o thomas_n curwen_n this_o be_v not_o rail_v with_o thou_o and_o say_v the_o spirit_n of_o the_o

etc._n it_o seem_v thou_o be_v ignorant_a of_o the_o scripture_n as_o well_o as_o other_o as_o long_o as_o thou_o have_v be_v a_o merchant_n for_o do_v not_o christ_n tell_v the_o pharisee_n they_o

now_o see_v thou_o where_o thou_o be_v who_o long_o deceive_v we_o but_o praise_v be_v the_o lord_n we_o be_v come_v to_o christ_n the_o save_a light_n which_o thou_o deny_v and_o its_o manifest_a what_o thou_o be_v and_o what_o thy_o suffering_n be_v in_o the_o darkness_n against_o the_o light_n and_o thou_o prove_v thyself_o a_o thief_n and_o a_o robber_n who_o enter_v not_o in_o by_o the_o

that_o come_v into_o the_o world_n and_o he_o be_v the_o redeemer_n and_o the_o word_n and_o this_o thou_o deny_v christ_n the_o light_n the_o quicken_a spirit_n the_o way_n the_o truth_n the_o

christ_n and_o the_o apostle_n testify_v of_o so_o thou_o have_v manifest_v thyself_o against_o they_o so_o never_o take_v their_o word_n to_o make_v a_o trade_n of_o any_o more_o and_o thou_o can_v not_o call_v christ_n the_o light_n a_o quicken_a spirit_n the_o way_n the_o truth_n the_o word_n the_o foundation_n the_o corner_n stone_n the_o redeemer_n this_o thou_o can_v not_o call_v the_o

the_o light_n the_o word_n the_o way_n the_o truth_n deceive_v but_o the_o lord_n rebuke_v thou_o who_o strive_v to_o keep_v ignorant_a simple_a people_n from_o the_o light_n and_o in_o darkness_n thou_o will_v aspire_v up_o as_o a_o judge_n of_o all_o condition_n and_o know_v not_o thy_o own_o to_o be_v miserable_a blind_a and_o naked_a rev._n 1._o yet_o thou_o tell_v the_o reader_n what_o

and_o limit_n for_o where_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n be_v join_v to_o there_o be_v liberty_n and_o we_o do_v not_o tell_v thou_o of_o the_o light_n of_o adam_n thou_o be_v go_v from_o the_o matter_n but_o we_o speak_v of_o the_o light_n of_o christ_n jesus_n the_o second_o adam_n the_o lord_n from_o heaven_n for_o our_o dispute_n be_v not_o about_o the_o earthly_a adam_n the_o spirit_n of_o a_o

like_o thy_o knowledge_n and_o experience_n of_o christ_n and_o whereas_o thou_o say_v the_o spirit_n of_o a_o man_n or_o light_n in_o every_o man_n be_v understand_v to_o be_v the_o reason_n or_o the_o understanding_n of_o a_o man_n whereby_o he_o be_v adopt_v to_o know_v his_o creator_n viz._n who_o make_v he_o according_a to_o david_n psalm_n 59_o 6._o answ_n here_o thou_o have_v confute_v

know_v not_o the_o thing_n of_o god_n and_o the_o spirit_n of_o man_n know_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v of_o a_o man_n even_o so_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n know_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v of_o god_n and_o if_o all_o nation_n must_v know_v the_o lord_n god_n that_o make_v they_o and_o serve_v he_o and_o they_o be_v his_o people_n and_o the_o sheep_n of_o his_o pasture_n and_o they_o must_v worship_v and_o kneel_v before_o the_o lord_n their_o maker_n and_o keep_v his_o law_n than_o they_o shall_v have_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n for_o natural_a man_n can_v discern_v the_o thing_n of_o

and_o godhead_n and_o to_o feel_v and_o seek_v after_o god_n thou_o have_v prove_v then_o that_o all_o have_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n and_o by_o this_o overthrow_v thy_o own_o assertion_n as_o thou_o have_v do_v often_o before_o and_o if_o they_o know_v the_o law_n of_o god_n which_o soul_n and_o conscience_n effect_n upon_o as_o thou_o fair_a than_o they_o know_v the_o thing_n of_o god_n for_o the_o law_n of_o god_n be_v the_o thing_n of_o god_n and_o they_o be_v know_v by_o the_o spirit_n and_o so_o thou_o bring_v the_o spirit_n of_o man_n and_o the_o old_a covenant_n which_o thou_o call_v light_a to_o oppose_v the_o new_a christ_n jesus_n with_o thy_o dark_a wisdom_n and_o that_o in_o the_o rom._n which_o say_v that_o which_o may_v be_v know_v of_o god_n be_v manifest_a in_o

this_o be_v beyond_o the_o spirit_n of_o a_o natural_a man_n and_o when_o they_o transgress_v this_o god_n do_v judge_v they_o in_o righteousness_n by_o which_o every_o mouth_n be_v stop_v they_o be_v
