there_o be_v no_o more_o fellowship_n than_o east_n with_o west_n but_o here_o take_v notice_n that_o there_o be_v no_o christian_n in_o the_o world_n who_o deny_v christ_n be_v spiritual_a influence_n and_o operation_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n and_o his_o light_n within_o they_o and_o therefore_o this_o difference_n of_o doctrine_n betwixt_o the_o quaker_n and_o we_o which_o they_o say_v be_v as_o wide_a as_o east_n from_o west_n must_v be_v more_o than_o concern_v the_o light_n within_o as_o a_o ray_n or_o beam_n shine_v into_o our_o heart_n from_o christ_n the_o sun_n of_o righteousness_n for_o in_o this_o there_o be_v none_o upon_o earth_n that_o have_v any_o difference_n with_o they_o and_o therefore_o the_o difference_n must_v be_v concern_v this_o light_n within_o be_v not_o a_o beam_n but_o the_o sun_n itself_o the_o true_a real_a and_o only_a christ_n the_o very_a person_n and_o not_o only_o the_o influence_n of_o christ_n so_o that_o the_o true_a state_n of_o the_o question_n will_v be_v this_o whether_o this_o light_n within_o be_v the_o principal_a or_o a_o secondary_a agent_n in_o we_o for_o if_o it_o be_v only_o a_o beam_n it_o be_v a_o secondary_a agent_n because_o it_o proceed_v from_o the_o sun_n but_o if_o it_o be_v the_o sun_n itself_o than_o it_o be_v principal_a again_o if_o it_o be_v the_o sun_n it_o be_v the_o only_a agent_n because_o the_o sun_n receive_v not_o his_o light_n from_o another_o but_o if_o it_o be_v a_o beam_n it_o be_v not_o the_o only_a agent_n because_o the_o sun_n do_v enlighten_v by_o the_o beam_n and_o in_o both_o these_o respect_n the_o quaker_n do_v positive_o determine_v their_o light_n within_o to_o be_v not_o a_o secondary_a agent_n or_o send_v from_o any_o other_o but_o that_o it_o be_v its_o
