only_o now_o the_o perfection_n of_o the_o quaker_n do_v quite_o overthrow_v all_o this_o which_o the_o apostle_n teach_v and_o in_o short_a term_n it_o be_v all_o one_o for_o they_o to_o say_v sir_n we_o deny_v your_o argument_n and_o your_o reason_v we_o be_v of_o opinion_n that_o all_o man_n do_v not_o break_v the_o law_n of_o god_n but_o that_o some_o be_v perfect_a in_o a_o righteousness_n answer_v the_o law_n and_o therefore_o we_o have_v no_o need_n of_o any_o such_o grace_n or_o christ_n redemption_n that_o be_v of_o any_o from_o christ_n as_o without_o or_o other_o term_n whereby_o

we_o build_v upon_o for_o our_o salvation_n in_o the_o five_o place_n this_o opinion_n be_v not_o consonant_a with_o the_o universality_n of_o redemption_n there_o be_v no_o great_a patron_n of_o universal_a grace_n than_o the_o quaker_n this_o be_v the_o excellency_n of_o his_o strength_n the_o reuben_n of_o his_o notion_n but_o if_o christ_n redemption_n lie_v altogether_o where_o they_o place_v it_o in_o the_o bring_n man_n off_o from_o sin_n and_o unrighteousness_n unto_o holiness_n and_o perfection_n even_o such_o as_o to_o live_v without_o sin_n in_o this_o world_n then_o can_v redemption_n be_v universal_a for_o the_o most_o of_o man_n remain_v in_o their_o sin_n and_o be_v never_o convert_v and_o those_o that_o be_v reach_v not_o to_o such_o a_o pitch_n as_o this_o be_v and_o consequent_o instead_o of_o christ_n have_n redeem_v all_o the_o world_n or_o whole_a mankind_n there_o be_v but_o very_o sew_v redeem_a and_o indeed_o none_o at_o all_o i_o must_v confess_v i_o do_v not_o think_v that_o the_o quaker_n alone_o be_v in_o the_o dark_a about_o this_o matter_n yet_o these_o man_n i_o count_v here_o be_v most_o of_o all_o out_o they_o look_v upon_o the_o work_n of_o christ_n redemption_n to_o be_v the_o work_n of_o christ_n within_o so_o they_o speak_v and_o so_o they_o think_v altogether_o and_o then_o wilful_o confound_v sanctification_n and_o redemption_n whereas_o sanctification_n be_v a_o separation_n of_o person_n from_o the_o world_n and_o must_v be_v of_o some_o only_a that_o be_v the_o elect_n suppose_v election_n but_o redemption_n be_v of_o

our_o divine_n we_o call_v orthodox_n do_v general_o stumble_v upon_o this_o same_o stone_n in_o their_o denial_n of_o christ_n redemption_n to_o be_v universal_a it_o be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o
