to_o his_o gracious_a protection_n i_o take_v leave_n to_o subscribe_v myself_o your_o know_a friend_n london_n septem_n 9_o 95._o query_n how_o be_v spirit_n to_o be_v discern_v if_o this_o query_n refer_v to_o the_o person_n themselves_o who_o be_v or_o suppose_v themselves_o lead_v by_o a_o good_a spirit_n it_o be_v answer_v that_o the_o manner_n of_o discernment_n be_v by_o sensation_n which_o be_v not_o to_o be_v describe_v this_o sensation_n like_o the_o new_a song_n the_o new_a name_n and_o the_o white_a stone_n they_o only_a who_o do_v experiment_n and_o while_o they_o do_v experiment_n be_v able_a to_o distinguish_v but_o than_o it_o may_v be_v query_v how_o shall_v they_o who_o suppose_v themselves_o to_o be_v lead_v by_o a_o true_a spirit_n and_o be_v not_o be_v enable_v to_o discern_v aright_o in_o this_o matter_n since_o they_o be_v without_o this_o spiritual_a sensation_n by_o which_o the_o other_o be_v assure_v concern_v the_o truth_n of_o their_o vision_n and_o revelation_n ans._n they_o be_v to_o seek_v for_o it_o of_o god_n by_o a_o perfect_a mortification_n of_o their_o own_o will_n and_o especial_o as_o to_o these_o very_a suppose_a favour_n and_o by_o most_o instant_a and_o violent_a prayer_n thus_o some_o who_o upon_o the_o commission_n of_o a_o evilth_v have_v be_v deprive_v of_o the_o good_a spirit_n of_o god_n which_o they_o do_v enjoy_v and_o have_v be_v deliver_v up_o to_o a_o spirit_n of_o delusion_n for_o some_o time_n satan_n all_o this_o while_n exact_o personate_n a_o angel_n of_o light_n giving_z forth_o false_a oracle_n and_o open_v a_o false_a paradise_n upon_o they_o have_v be_v again_o restore_v to_o their_o former_a enjoyment_n and_o divine_a sensation_n the_o scene_n of_o the_o false_a paradise_n make_v to_o drop_v into_o piece_n and_o the_o true_a one_o to_o open_v and_o the_o evil_a spirit_n force_v to_o stand_v before_o the_o angel_n who_o he_o have_v personate_v if_o it_o be_v further_o query_v whether_o and_o how_o do_v those_o that_o be_v true_o lead_v by_o the_o holy_a spirit_n discern_v the_o spirit_n by_o which_o other_o be_v lead_v the_o answer_n will_v be_v that_o all_o be_v not_o able_a to_o do_v so_o but_o only_o some_o that_o be_v arrive_v to_o a_o very_a high_a degree_n and_o great_a experience_n in_o the_o supernatural_a life_n as_o for_o the_o manner_n of_o discern_v it_o be_v the_o same_o with_o respect_n to_o other_o as_o to_o themselves_o there_o be_v no_o mark_n so_o certain_a here_o as_o that_o of_o internal_a sensation_n thus_o spiritual_a thing_n be_v spiritual_o discern_v feel_v and_o receive_v and_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o prophet_n be_v subject_a to_o the_o prophet_n but_o if_o in_o the_o last_o place_n it_o be_v demand_v how_o then_o shall_v those_o who_o be_v stranger_n to_o these_o leading_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o who_o desire_n alike_o neither_o to_o fall_v into_o any_o error_n nor_o to_o resist_v the_o truth_n be_v able_a to_o govern_v themselves_o in_o this_o matter_n to_o this_o the_o answer_n be_v very_o easy_a that_o they_o be_v not_o to_o perplex_v themselves_o in_o this_o inquiry_n so_o long_o as_o they_o remain_v either_o carnal_a or_o rational_a but_o to_o endeavour_v by_o all_o mean_n according_a to_o the_o clear_a path_n chalk_v out_o in_o the_o scripture_n to_o become_v sdiritual_a to_o which_o state_n when_o they_o be_v arrive_v they_o need_v not_o fear_v be_v able_a to_o judge_v or_o themselves_o and_o if_o with_o respect_n to_o other_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v present_o capable_a to_o judge_v they_o can_v be_v under_o no_o apprehension_n of_o any_o danger_n so_o they_o do_v but_o follow_v the_o pure_a dictate_v of_o the_o spirit_n to_o themselves_o and_o therefore_o they_o will_v desire_v this_o satisfaction_n no_o further_o then_o as_o it_o shall_v be_v give_v they_o from_o above_o however_o even_o they_o who_o be_v not_o arrive_v beyond_o the_o rational_a life_n need_v not_o be_v much_o mistake_v while_o they_o continue_v so_o for_o if_o that_o which_o be_v say_v to_o be_v reveal_v be_v of_o weighty_a concern_v either_o to_o that_o particular_a soul_n or_o to_o the_o public_a and_o if_o it_o direct_o tend_v to_o purity_n of_o life_n and_o to_o the_o exaltation_n of_o god_n and_o the_o humiliation_n of_o man_n then_o if_o it_o be_v not_o plain_o disagreeable_a with_o what_o
