church_n that_o it_o be_v a_o figurative_a way_n of_o speak_v the_o thing_n contain_v for_o the_o thing_n contain_v but_o i_o never_o know_v this_o distinction_n touch_v our_o bless_a saviour_n make_v by_o any_o other_o than_o the_o quaker_n and_o their_o chief_a reason_n be_v that_o they_o have_v the_o same_o light_n life_n and_o spirit_n in_o their_o body_n as_o be_v in_o his_o body_n they_o will_v have_v every_o man_n a_o saviour_n every_o man_n a_o christ_n for_o as_o above_o they_o say_v the_o name_n of_o christ_n belong_v to_o every_o member_n of_o the_o body_n as_o well_o as_o the_o

rose_n again_o and_o ascend_v this_o be_v but_o a_o metaphorical_a speech_n the_o thing_n contain_v for_o the_o thing_n contain_v thus_o have_v they_o rob_v the_o bless_a jesus_n of_o one_o of_o his_o

they_o be_v in_o good_a earnest_n but_o by_o and_o by_o with_o a_o sudden_a turn_n they_o glide_v to_o their_o brethren_n and_o insinuate_v by_o consequence_n that_o he_o that_o be_v bear_v of_o the_o

much_o more_o right_a be_v that_o honour_n ascribe_v to_o he_o who_o have_v the_o spirit_n without_o measure_n etc._n etc._n observe_v the_o best_a approach_n i_o take_v notice_n of_o be_v that_o they_o do_v seem_o allow_v he_o to_o have_v the_o spirit_n without_o measure_n but_o i_o can_v call_v it_o otherwise_o than_o seem_v since_o it_o be_v but_o about_o eight_o line_n after_o where_o speak_v of_o salvation_n he_o say_v and_o to_o the_o holy_a manhood_n not_o any_o otherwise_o than_o instrumental_o which_o in_o the_o paragraph_n above_o recite_v he_o there_o allow_v to_o good_a and_o holy_a man_n and_o that_o as_o a_o meritorious_a reward_n too_o viz._n because_o of_o the_o contribution_n of_o their_o trial_n travel_n and_o labour_n towards_o the_o salvation_n of_o mankind_n so_o that_o by_o the_o quaker_n doctrine_n good_a man_n be_v instrumental_o saviour_n and_o christ_n himself_o be_v no_o more_o but_o instrumental_o a_o saviour_n the_o first_o i_o grant_v as_o they_o be_v servant_n to_o christ_n and_o by_o his_o hand_n of_o providence_n make_v use_v of_o towards_o the_o conversion_n of_o other_o the_o last_o i_o deny_v as_o a_o heretical_a doctrine_n which_o tend_v to_o rob_v christ_n of_o one_o of_o his_o chief_a jewel_n as_o the_o next_o passage_n will_v demonstrate_v p_o 129._o that_o nevertheless_o not_o to_o the_o body_n but_o holy_a light_n of_o life_n therein_o be_v chief_o to_o be_v ascribe_v the_o salvation_n and_o to_o the_o body_n however_o excellent_a but_o instrumental_o observe_v how_o with_o one_o shoulder_n they_o bear_v down_o the_o bless_a jesus_n as_o only_o a_o body_n instrumental_o serviceable_a contrary_a to_o the_o testimony_n of_o st._n luke_n and_o the_o inspire_a apostle_n and_o holy_a prophet_n who_o foretell_v of_o the_o come_n of_o the_o just_a one_o and_o since_o it_o be_v a_o great_a and_o precious_a privilege_n that_o we_o have_v the_o holy_a scripture_n in_o a_o know_a tongue_n that_o thereby_o we_o

if_o that_o body_n of_o christ_n be_v the_o seed_n then_o can_v he_o not_o bruise_v the_o serpent_n head_n in_o all_o because_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o so_o much_o as_o in_o any_o one_o
