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.

his_o only_a beget_v son_n into_o the_o world_n to_o save_v the_o world_n and_o not_o to_o condemn_v the_o world_n as_o he_o do_v who_o say_v they_o have_v not_o a_o light_n to_o save_v they_o and_o they_o have_v not_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n but_o that_o the_o world_n through_o he_o may_v be_v save_v and_o moreover_o christ_n say_v i_o be_o the_o light_n of_o the_o world_n now_o he_o do_v not_o say_v i_o be_o the_o light_n of_o the_o saint_n only_o as_o john_n wiggan_n say_v but_o of_o the_o world_n which_o be_v in_o darkness_n and_o christ_n say_v believe_v in_o the_o light_n while_o you_o have_v the_o light_n show_v that_o they_o have_v the_o light_n before_o they_o be_v believer_n that_o they_o may_v be_v child_n of_o the_o light_n john_n 12._o and_o also_o he_o john_n wiggan_n

be_v it_o not_o a_o robe_n of_o they_o and_o a_o cheat_v of_o they_o and_o ought_v he_o not_o in_o justice_n to_o make_v restitution_n for_o we_o do_v not_o know_v a_o great_a enemy_n to_o christ_n
