to_o christ_n be_v a_o false_a witness_n and_o so_o they_o do_v therefore_o they_o persecute_v they_o for_o it_o as_o you_o will_v do_v i_o if_o it_o lay_v in_o your_o power_n as_o it_o do_v in_o

other_o man_n do_v for_o that_o be_v a_o pretend_a commission_n which_o do_v counterfeit_a and_o pretend_v to_o do_v the_o same_o thing_n as_o they_o do_v which_o have_v their_o commission_n sign_v and_o seal_v by_o the_o voice_n of_o god_n himself_o as_o moses_n and_o paul_n the_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n these_o i_o do_v own_o that_o they_o have_v a_o commission_n from_o god_n but_o what_o be_v this_o to_o any_o quaker_n or_o any_o other_o man_n do_v this_o prove_v that_o the_o read_n of_o other_o man_n commission_n will_v make_v a_o man_n a_o minister_n messenger_n or_o ambassador_n of_o christ_n sure_o no_o neither_o will_v the_o read_n of_o the_o scripture_n prove_v my_o commission_n to_o be_v false_a and_o a_o pretend_a thing_n as_o you_o say_v it_o be_v for_o i_o say_v in_o those_o letter_n to_o the_o quaker_n that_o my_o commission_n be_v as_o true_a as_o the_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n commission_n be_v and_o of_o a_o more_o high_a nature_n than_o they_o be_v this_o i_o own_o to_o be_v true_a for_o my_o commission_n be_v give_v by_o voice_n of_o word_n from_o god_n as_o they_o be_v therefore_o it_o be_v that_o i_o certain_o know_v that_o god_n do_v give_v a_o commission_n to_o moses_n and_o the_o prophet_n and_o unto_o his_o apostle_n also_o as_o moses_n and_o aaron_n be_v the_o two_o first_o that_o god_n do_v choose_v and_o give_v a_o commission_n unto_o to_o act_v forth_o the_o law_n which_o do_v signify_v the_o water_n so_o likewise_o god_n have_v choose_v john_n reeve_n and_o lodowick_n muggelton_n to_o be_v his_o two_o last_o witness_n and_o
