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.

of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n and_o by_o this_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o they_o have_v the_o holy_a spirit_n agreeable_a to_o that_o in_o the_o 16._o of_o john_n and_o these_o be_v they_o that_o oppress_v christ_n as_o a_o cart_n under_o sheaf_n and_o such_o vex_a the_o spirit_n as_o in_o eccles_n and_o whereas_o thou_o say_v all_o that_o do_v grieve_v vex_v and_o resist_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n have_v it_o not_o but_o they_o resist_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n in_o the_o prophet_n this_o be_v thy_o meaning_n we_o know_v they_o resist_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n in_o the_o prophet_n when_o they_o first_o grieve_v it_o in_o themselves_o as_o thou_o do_v and_o as_o in_o the_o four_o of_o john_n the_o world_n receive_v he_o not_o how_o shall_v they_o when_o they_o hate_v the_o light_n and_o resist_v it_o as_o thou_o do_v but_o the_o spirit_n reprove_v they_o therefore_o they_o have_v it_o though_o they_o can_v receiveit_v nor_o receive_v christ_n but_o hate_v he_o and_o so_o it_o be_v thou_o that_o grieve_v god_n spirit_n in_o his_o servant_n and_o whereas_o thou_o say_v when_o steven_n say_v they_o do_v resist_v the_o holy_a ghost_n it_o be_v the_o spirit_n in_o he_o by_o which_o he_o speak_v as_o in_o act_n 6._o 10._o as_o in_o like_a manner_n they_o resist_v the_o spirit_n in_o the_o prophet_n as_o act_n 7._o 52._o which_o of_o the_o prophet_n have_v not_o your_o father_n persecute_v etc._n etc._n this_o again_o be_v thy_o meaning_n but_o the_o scripture_n do_v not_o say_v as_o thou_o say_v for_o those_o that_o resist_v the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o stephen_n have_v receive_v the_o law_n of_o god_n by_o the_o disposition_n of_o angel_n etc._n etc._n act_v 7._o 53._o now_o the_o law_n of_o god_n be_v the_o thing_n of_o god_n and_o the_o angel_n minister_a spirit_n so_o these_o that_o have_v the_o thing_n of_o god_n have_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n and_o when_o they_o keep_v not_o the_o law_n of_o god_n they_o quench_v and_o resist_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n both_o in_o themselves_o and_o other_o and_o whereas_o thou_o say_v when_o the_o mighty_a power_n of_o god_n be_v put_v forth_o in_o sign_n and_o wonder_n in_o egypt_n and_o the_o wilderness_n numb_a 14._o 11._o 22._o and_o they_o believe_v not_o his_o spirit_n not_o in_o they_o but_o put_v forth_o those_o mighty_a work_n and_o speak_v in_o joshuah_n and_o other_o faithful_a witness_n for_o god_n in_o that_o day_n thus_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n be_v vex_v in_o noah_n and_o lot_n by_o the_o wickedness_n of_o the_o old_a world_n and_o not_o in_o the_o wicked_a who_o be_v stranger_n and_o without_o god_n in_o the_o world_n answ_n none_o of_o these_o scripture_n do_v say_v as_o thou_o say_v that_o the_o wicked_a have_v not_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n to_o grieve_v but_o that_o it_o be_v only_o grieve_v in_o joshuah_n noah_n and_o such_o like_a as_o for_o numb_a 14._o such_o as_o have_v see_v the_o wonder_n of_o god_n ten_o time_n and_o yet_o do_v not_o hearken_v to_o the_o voice_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o they_o err_v in_o their_o belief_n as_o vers_n 11._o now_o how_o can_v these_o hear_v the_o voice_n of_o god_n and_o have_v not_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n and_o the_o apostle_n say_v they_o do_v all_o drink_n of_o the_o spiritual_a rock_n and_o all_o eat_v of_o the_o spiritual_a meat_n and_o the_o rock_n that_o follow_v they_o be_v christ_n and_o yet_o thou_o say_v they_o have_v not_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n to_o grieve_v in_o they_o 1_o cor._n 10._o 3_o 4_o 5._o and_o when_o they_o lust_v and_o tempt_v god_n and_o murmur_v against_o god_n and_o fell_a than_o they_o grieve_v god_n spirit_n and_o yet_o thou_o say_v they_o have_v it_o not_o to_o grieve_v but_o it_o be_v only_o grieve_v in_o other_o and_o have_v it_o be_v righteous_a with_o the_o lord_n in_o one_o day_n to_o cause_v 23000._o to_o fall_n if_o they_o have_v not_o grieve_v his_o spirit_n which_o he_o give_v they_o and_o so_o they_o grieve_v he_o and_o do_v thou_o not_o believe_v that_o the_o apostle_n and_o those_o corinthian_n have_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n who_o say_v let_v not_o we_o tempt_v god_n as_o they_o tempt_v he_o nor_o murmur_n as_o they_o murmur_v and_o heb._n 3._o the_o apostle_n say_v to_o day_n if_o you_o will_v hear_v his_o voice_n harden_v not_o your_o heart_n as_o in_o the_o provocation_n in_o the_o day_n of_o temptation_n in_o the_o

and_o the_o scripture_n witness_v the_o fulfil_n of_o this_o upon_o many_o of_o they_o and_o whereas_o thou_o say_v that_o the_o spirit_n be_v vex_v in_o noah_n and_o not_o in_o the_o old_a world_n
