sear_v as_o with_o a_o hot_a iron_n pretend_v to_o believe_v in_o christ_n as_o their_o life_n and_o salvation_n and_o to_o deny_v all_o they_o and_o their_o faith_n and_o way_n who_o say_v they_o have_v faith_n but_o their_o life_n be_v not_o the_o life_n of_o christ_n but_o they_o live_v in_o sin_n and_o worldly_a pleasure_n and_o say_v they_o can_v be_v save_v from_o their_o sin_n in_o

to_o the_o contrary_a and_o easy_o demonstrable_a that_o they_o be_v lead_v away_o with_o a_o spirit_n of_o defusion_n to_o believe_v lie_n 1._o for_o first_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n teach_v we_o to_o honour_v all_o man_n but_o their_o spirit_n of_o delusion_n teach_v and_o lead_v they_o not_o to_o honour_v or_o reverence_v any_o man_n at_o all_o though_o in_o never_o so_o high_a or_o honourable_a a_o place_n or_o condition_n of_o life_n 2._o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n teach_v we_o to_o be_v courteous_a and_o tender_a hearted_a towards_o all_o man_n but_o their_o spirit_n teach_v and_o lead_v to_o be_v courteous_a and_o tender_a hearted_a towards_o no_o man_n but_o teach_v they_o mere_a incivility_n like_o the_o bruit_n beast_n that_o be_v lead_v with_o sensuality_n as_o utter_o void_a of_o rationality_n 3._o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n teach_v we_o to_o judge_v nothing_o before_o the_o time_n yea_o even_o christ_n himself_o bid_v we_o judge_v not_o that_o we_o be_v not_o judge_v but_o their_o spirit_n teach_v they_o both_o to_o judge_v and_o condemn_v and_o with_o a_o most_o austere_a countenance_n call_v man_n damn_v and_o carnal_a and_o hireling_n and_o deceiver_n and_o proud_a when_o they_o can_v demonstrate_v no_o such_o thing_n but_o in_o the_o judgement_n of_o charity_n may_v judge_v the_o contrary_a if_o they_o have_v that_o spirit_n and_o faith_n which_o work_v by_o love_n 4._o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n teach_v we_o to_o let_v other_o man_n praise_v we_o and_o not_o our_o own_o mouth_n stranger_n and_o not_o our_o own_o lip_n and_o to_o let_v our_o work_n praise_v we_o in_o the_o gate_n like_o the_o verteons_n woman_n but_o their_o fruit_n teach_v they_o to_o praise_v themselves_o as_o if_o they_o be_v perfect_a already_o even_o as_o christ_n himself_o intimate_v as_o if_o christ_n already_o have_v impower_v they_o to_o do_v the_o will_n of_o god_n 5._o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n teach_v we_o to_o speak_v the_o truth_n in_o love_n and_o meekness_n and_o not_o to_o trust_v in_o ourselves_o that_o we_o be_v righteous_a and_o despise_v other_o like_o the_o proud_a pharisee_n but_o their_o spirit_n teach_v they_o both_o to_o falsify_v and_o belie_v our_o doctrine_n and_o profession_n intimate_v to_o the_o people_n by_o their_o false_a suggestion_n that_o we_o shall_v teach_v such_o doctrine_n as_o be_v quite_o contradictious_a to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n to_o wit_n that_o christ_n be_v not_o able_a to_o save_v to_o the_o uttermost_a those_o that_o come_v unto_o god_n by_o he_o or_o that_o we_o shall_v not_o account_v he_o the_o great_a power_n of_o god_n to_o salvation_n of_o they_o that_o believe_v all_o which_o we_o utter_o deny_v to_o be_v our_o doctrine_n or_o faith_n 6._o but_o we_o have_v learn_v from_o that_o spirit_n which_o teach_v we_o not_o to_o exalt_v ourselves_o but_o to_o think_v sober_o and_o to_o speak_v modest_o of_o ourselves_o in_o respect_n of_o our_o present_a attainment_n as_o not_o account_v ourselves_o already_o perfect_a nor_o to_o speak_v of_o ourselves_o above_o that_o which_o may_v be_v see_v in_o we_o or_o hear_v of_o we_o though_o yet_o for_o aught_o they_o know_v we_o utter_o forget_v that_o which_o be_v behind_o and_o press_v forward_o to_o that_o which_o be_v before_o even_o the_o mark_n and_o the_o price_n of_o the_o high_a call_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n jesus_n if_o possible_a that_o we_o may_v attain_v to_o the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o dead_a a_o mark_n which_o they_o know_v not_o as_o yet_o what_o it_o mean_v though_o they_o prefesse_v themselves_o perfect_a and_o to_o have_v christ_n within_o they_o and_o that_o so_o many_o as_o have_v christ_n have_v this_o power_n and_o what_o have_v they_o not_o by_o their_o own_o profession_n if_o we_o can_v believe_v they_o already_o within_o they_o but_o i_o hope_v we_o may_v know_v the_o tree_n by_o its_o fruit_n better_o than_o their_o own_o testimony_n 7._o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n teach_v we_o not_o to_o own_o any_o perfection_n that_o be_v in_o christ_n as_o proper_o we_o but_o acknowledge_v it_o his_o though_o we_o have_v christ_n in_o we_o for_o though_o the_o life_n we_o now_o live_v be_v by_o faith_n in_o the_o son_n of_o god_n who_o have_v love_v we_o and_o have_v give_v himself_o for_o we_o yet_o it_o be_v not_o we_o that_o live_v but_o christ_n that_o live_v in_o we_o but_o their_o spirit_n teach_v they_o to_o own_o every_o perfection_n that_o be_v in_o christ_n as_o proper_o they_o affirm_v that_o they_o that_o have_v christ_n have_v power_n and_o they_o that_o believe_v have_v power_n to_o do_v the_o will_n of_o god_n and_o they_o deny_v all_o those_o that_o say_v they_o have_v faith_n in_o christ_n and_o yet_o their_o righteousness_n be_v not_o perfect_a because_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n be_v perfect_a which_o yet_o be_v not_o proper_o they_o but_o only_o through_o faith_n and_o that_o by_o imputation_n and_o they_o also_o deny_v all_o those_o and_o their_o faith_n and_o hope_n who_o say_v they_o hope_v to_o be_v save_v and_o yet_o live_v in_o sin_n make_v a_o profession_n for_o say_v they_o he_o that_o have_v this_o hope_n in_o he_o purify_v himself_o even_o as_o he_o be_v pure_a so_o that_o if_o he_o be_v not_o purify_v in_o perfection_n like_o christ_n they_o say_v it_o be_v but_o the_o hope_n of_o the_o hypocrite_n which_o shall_v perish_v and_o they_o also_o deny_v all_o who_o say_v they_o have_v faith_n and_o christ_n and_o yet_o their_o word_n and_o light_n be_v without_o they_o for_o he_o that_o have_v christ_n or_o faith_n have_v this_o word_n and_o light_n which_o be_v christ_n as_o if_o a_o man_n can_v not_o have_v christ_n by_o faith_n but_o he_o must_v of_o necessity_n have_v the_o fullness_n of_o christ_n the_o essential_a word_n and_o light_n whole_o within_o they_o who_o the_o heaven_n of_o heaven_n be_v not_o able_a to_o contain_v conceive_v as_o god_n nor_o be_v all_o creature_n able_a to_o comprehend_v again_o they_o affirm_v that_o he_o

that_o have_v that_o word_n of_o faith_n which_o the_o apostle_n preach_v have_v this_o word_n not_o in_o the_o letter_n but_o in_o the_o spirit_n as_o if_o the_o apostle_n have_v only_o speak_v of_o christ_n the_o essential_a word_n and_o not_o inclusive_o of_o the_o spiritual_a ministration_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n in_o his_o sacred_a name_n and_o so_o again_o they_o deny_v all_o they_o who_o law_n be_v without_o and_o moral_a for_o they_o own_o that_o law_n which_o be_v spiritual_a within_o wr●tten_a in_o the_o heart_n for_o that_o law_n say_v they_o be_v perfect_a and_o endure_v for_o ever_o and_o therefore_o they_o deny_v all_o those_o law_n without_o and_o see_v they_o to_o be_v in_o the_o old_a covenant_n of_o work_n which_o make_v nothing_o perfect_a as_o if_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o own_o the_o law_n without_o we_o in_o table_n or_o book_n as_o well_o as_o that_o within_o we_o and_o the_o rather_o as_o a_o rule_n to_o try_v that_o within_o we_o by_o whether_o our_o spirit_n be_v of_o god_n a_o subtle_a delusive_a doctrine_n of_o satan_n this_o must_v needs_o be_v to_o disparage_v the_o word_n and_o law_n of_o god_n that_o man_n may_v only_o listen_v to_o his_o lie_a spirit_n or_o to_o their_o own_o corrupt_a and_o delude_a heart_n 8._o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n teach_v we_o that_o christ_n our_o righteousness_n be_v sacrifice_v for_o we_o and_o that_o his_o righteousness_n only_o may_v be_v call_v perfect_a and_o depend_v on_o for_o our_o justification_n and_o not_o our_o own_o inherent_a righteousness_n yet_o we_o also_o endeavour_v to_o purify_v ourselves_o even_o as_o he_o be_v pure_a and_o do_v press_v onward_o towards_o perfection_n though_o with_o no_o intent_n to_o establish_v our_o own_o righteousness_n as_o their_o lie_a spirit_n will_v hint_n to_o the_o world_n 9_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n teach_v we_o also_o to_o own_o that_o faith_n which_o purify_v the_o heart_n and_o produce_v holiness_n both_o within_o and_o without_o and_o to_o own_o that_o word_n and_o light_n within_o and_o that_o word_n and_o light_n without_o also_o for_o christ_n be_v within_o we_o and_o without_o also_o so_o be_v the_o law_n without_o we_o and_o within_o we_o also_o yea_o we_o also_o worship_v the_o father_n in_o spirit_n and_o in_o truth_n and_o utter_o disclaim_v all_o false_a righteousness_n but_o we_o have_v also_o a_o word_n without_o and_o a_o church_n without_o and_o a_o baptism_n without_o praise_n and_o sing_v without_o and_o a_o christ_n without_o and_o righteousness_n without_o as_o well_o as_o within_o and_o so_o we_o ought_v but_o whether_o their_o spirit_n teach_v they_o to_o hold_v forth_o the_o profession_n of_o their_o hope_n and_o faith_n in_o these_o respect_n as_o well_o external_o as_o they_o profess_v to_o do_v it_o internal_o whether_o they_o will_v show_v forth_o out_o of_o a_o good_a conversation_n their_o work_n in_o meekness_n and_o wisdom_n and_o whether_o they_o will_v show_v forth_o the_o vertu●s_fw-la of_o he_o who_o they_o say_v have_v call_v they_o out_o of_o darkness_n into_o light_n and_o whether_o they_o w●ll_v show_v their_o faith_n by_o their_o work_n that_o we_o may_v believe_v they_o and_o judge_v the_o tree_n good_a because_o the_o fruit_n be_v good_a and_o whether_o their_o faith_n will_v ever_o appear_v to_o be_v such_o a_o faith_n as_o work_v by_o love_n that_o so_o all_o their_o thing_n may_v be_v do_v in_o love_n and_o in_o the_o spirit_n of_o meekness_n as_o if_o they_o have_v learn_v of_o himself_o to_o be_v meek_a and_o lowly_a of_o

god_n have_v send_v strong_a delusion_n that_o they_o may_v believe_v a_o lie_n because_o they_o have_v not_o receive_v the_o truth_n in_o love_n but_o have_v pleasure_n in_o unrighteousness_n and_o so_o be_v already_o reject_v and_o deliver_v up_o of_o god_n and_o under_o the_o power_n of_o satan_n whether_o they_o dare_v resist_v he_o that_o he_o may_v fly_v from_o they_o or_o whether_o they_o

nor_o will_v we_o absolute_o determine_v nor_o judge_v of_o they_o as_o they_o do_v of_o other_o but_o this_o we_o say_v they_o profess_v to_o know_v god_n but_o in_o their_o work_n they_o deny_v he_o and_o they_o profess_v to_o have_v the_o word_n and_o the_o law_n of_o god_n write_v in_o their_o heart_n but_o as_o for_o fruit_n of_o love_n we_o can_v discern_v any_o that_o proceed_v from_o they_o
