and_o further_o you_o say_v to_o create_v be_v most_o proper_o to_o bring_v something_o out_o of_o nothing_o by_o the_o powerful_a word_n of_o god_n answ_n i_o marvel_v what_o satisfaction_n any_o man_n can_v have_v in_o his_o mind_n in_o believe_v in_o a_o quaker_n god_n to_o tell_v a_o man_n that_o god_n abide_v in_o himself_o and_o be_v what_o he_o be_v but_o never_o tell_v what_o he_o be_v

but_o it_o be_v like_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o quaker_n point_v of_o doctrine_n for_o they_o be_v mistake_v in_o every_o true_a point_n of_o doctrine_n which_o be_v but_o six_o 1._o of_o the_o

5._o the_o mortality_n of_o the_o soul_n 6._o the_o person_n and_o nature_n of_o angel_n these_o six_o principle_n be_v the_o ground_n of_o all_o true_a knowledge_n in_o relation_n to_o eternal_a life_n but_o the_o quaker_n doctrine_n be_v ignorant_a of_o every_o one_o of_o they_o first_o they_o be_v gross_o mistake_v in_o their_o god_n both_o in_o his_o form_n and_o nature_n for_o they_o say_v he_o be_v so_o big_a that_o no_o place_n neither_o heaven_n nor_o earth_n can_v contain_v he_o when_o as_o the_o scripture_n say_v he_o make_v man_n in_o his_o own_o image_n and_o likeness_n and_o he_o call_v himself_o a_o man_n for_o when_o the_o man_n say_v to_o christ_n when_o on_o earth_n good_a master_n what_o shall_v i_o do_v to_o inherit_v eternal_a life_n christ_n answer_v and_o

the_o quaker_n be_v as_o much_o mistake_v in_o the_o right_a devil_n for_o they_o know_v not_o how_o the_o devil_n come_v to_o be_v nor_o what_o will_v become_v of_o he_o hereafter_o though_o many_o of_o they_o their_o own_o soul_n be_v the_o devil_n and_o so_o of_o heaven_n and_o of_o hell_n they_o be_v ignorant_a of_o any_o place_n where_o they_o be_v for_o they_o know_v no_o other_o place_n of_o glory_n nor_o pain_n but_o what_o be_v within_o they_o 5._o they_o have_v get_v no_o mortal_a soul_n that_o can_v die_v 6._o and_o as_o for_o person_n and_o nature_n of_o angel_n they_o know_v not_o what_o i_o mean_v by_o it_o so_o that_o god_n and_o devil_n hell_n and_o heaven_n immortal_a soul_n and_o angel_n be_v all_o within_o they_o and_o when_o they_o die_v they_o deliver_v up_o all_o this_o within_o they_o it_o go_v into_o god_n again_o and_o so_o be_v no_o more_o sensible_a of_o joy_n nor_o sorrow_n than_o they_o be_v before_o they_o have_v a_o be_v for_o i_o perceive_v by_o this_o thomas_n tailor_n that_o the_o speaker_n of_o the_o quaker_n go_v all_o in_o one_o strain_n only_o some_o of_o they_o be_v more_o subtle_a than_o other_o to_o hide_v themselves_o with_o the_o word_n of_o the_o scripture_n carry_v the_o sense_n of_o the_o scripture_n in_o a_o allegory_n and_o so_o get_v christ_n within_o they_o and_o so_o keep_v his_o body_n from_o go_v up_o to_o heaven_n above_o the_o star_n but_o that_o christ_n in_o a_o body_n above_o the_o star_n have_v give_v i_o power_n that_o be_o but_o a_o mortal_a man_n over_z that_o christ_n within_o you_o and_o that_o you_o shall_v know_v to_o your_o eternal_a pain_n and_o shame_n furthermore_o you_o say_v to_o create_v be_v most_o proper_o to_o bring_v something_o out_o of_o nothing_o by_o the_o powerful_a word_n of_o god_n answ_n 1_o in_o this_o you_o show_v yourself_o to_o be_v one_o of_o the_o serpent_n seed_n indeed_o for_o that_o be_v the_o serpent-angel_n his_o sin_n in_o heaven_n above_o the_o star_n which_o you_o so_o much_o slight_v i_o say_v it_o be_v his_o sin_n before_o he_o be_v throw_v down_o from_o heaven_n for_o be_v think_v in_o himself_o if_o he_o have_v be_v god_n he_o will_v have_v make_v all_o thing_n of_o nothing_o he_o will_v have_v create_v all_o live_a creature_n without_o substance_n or_o matter_n that_o be_v to_o say_v of_o nothing_o this_o be_v the_o serpent_n sin_n and_o

mortality_n and_o shame_n which_o be_v a_o clear_a testimony_n to_o i_o that_o you_o be_v of_o the_o serpent_n seed_n for_o you_o will_v have_v god_n to_o do_v that_o which_o he_o can_v do_v to_o make_v earth_n and_o water_n and_o all_o other_o thing_n of_o nothing_o else_o you_o call_v he_o a_o devil_n or_o a_o false_a god_n for_o i_o must_v tell_v you_o that_o god_n never_o say_v so_o himself_o that_o he_o will_v or_o can_v make_v live_v or_o dead_a substance_n of_o nothing_o neither_o do_v any_o prophet_n or_o apostle_n or_o saint_n believe_v any_o such_o thing_n but_o it_o be_v always_o the_o devil_n nature_n to_o look_v upon_o god_n power_n to_o be_v great_a than_o it_o be_v or_o else_o to_o be_v less_o than_o it_o be_v for_o the_o devil_n be_v always_o mistake_v in_o god_n

of_o dead_a senseless_a matter_n and_o live_v form_n of_o formless_a substance_n and_o that_o god_n can_v a●d_o do_v die_v and_o that_o he_o can_v and_o will_v raise_v the_o seed_n of_o adam_n to_o eternal_a happiness_n and_o the_o seed_n of_o the_o serpent_n you_o be_v one_o to_o endless_a misery_n though_o both_o seed_n be_v asleep_a in_o the_o dust_n of_o the_o earth_n until_o the_o day_n

against_o all_o the_o seed_n of_o the_o serpent_n whatsoever_o for_o though_o by_o faith_n we_o understand_v the_o world_n be_v make_v yet_o by_o faith_n we_o understand_v and_o so_o do_v the_o

eternal_a 4._o you_o call_v these_o wicked_a say_n because_o we_o say_v no_o child_n damn_v though_o they_o be_v the_o seed_n of_o the_o serpent_n if_o they_o die_v in_o their_o childhood_n to_o this_o you_o say_v that_o the_o serpent_n be_v curse_v from_o the_o begin_n for_o say_v you_o certain_o all_o his_o seed_n young_a and_o old_a must_v be_v so_o for_o say_v you_o as_o i●_n the_o tree_n so_o be_v its_o fruit_n answer_n here_o you_o that_o have_v any_o light_n of_o faith_n in_o you_o may_v see_v the_o gross_a darkness_n of_o this_o man_n for_o he_o can_v abide_v such_o a_o god_n that_o have_v not_o power_n to_o make_v thing_n of_o nothing_o and_o now_o he_o be_v angry_a because_o god_n do_v not_o damn_v child_n if_o they_o be_v of_o the_o seed_n of_o the_o serpent_n for_o

with_o other_o that_o can_v for_o the_o scripture_n be_v true_o interpret_v discover_v the_o quaker_n principle_n to_o be_v the_o great_a cheat_n and_o deceit_n and_o more_o antichristian_a than_o the_o pope_n or_o any_o other_o sect_n whatsoever_o in_o matter_n of_o religion_n 6._o you_o do_v upbraid_v john_n reeve_n and_o myself_o because_o we_o be_v in_o the_o fall_v state_n of_o adam_n but_o you_o quaker_n do_v not_o acknowledge_v yourselves_o in_o that_o fall_v state_n you_o be_v not_o willing_a to_o be_v find_v in_o that_o state_n for_o you_o look_v upon_o yourselves_o so_o

evil_n signify_v the_o tree_n of_o reason_n so_o that_o all_o man_n good_a and_o bad_a be_v rank_v under_o these_o two_o tree_n and_o those_o man_n that_o bring_v forth_o fruit_n of_o faith_n as_o aforesaid_a may_v be_v say_v to_o bring_v forth_o good_a fruit_n and_o those_o man_n that_o bring_v forth_o fruit_n of_o reason_n as_o aforesaid_a may_v be_v say_v to_o bring_v forth_o evil_a fruit_n as_o you_o have_v do_v so_o that_o what_o fruit_n man_n or_o woman_n bring_v forth_o in_o their_o life_n be_v come_v to_o age_n be_v count_v by_o the_o scripture_n good_a or_o evil_a fruit_n and_o

therefore_o when_o john_n baptist_n say_v the_o axis_fw-la lay_v to_o the_o root_n of_o the_o tree_n he_o mean_v wise_a and_o prudent_a man_n who_o be_v wicked_a persecutor_n he_o do_v not_o mean_a

the_o flesh_n he_o tell_v what_o they_o both_o be_v so_o that_o child_n be_v not_o call_v the_o fruit_n of_o the_o serpent-tree_n though_o they_o be_v of_o the_o same_o seed_n for_o seed_n be_v one_o
