by_o some_o evident_a proof_n either_o from_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n or_o the_o scripture_n of_o truth_n and_o if_o you_o can_v prove_v your_o doctrine_n and_o the_o set_n up_o of_o your_o image_n order_n and_o comely_a form_n as_o you_o call_v they_o in_o those_o which_o you_o call_v your_o church_n either_o from_o the_o scripture_n of_o truth_n or_o by_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n and_o so_o prove_v they_o by_o revelation_n from_o god_n and_o make_v god_n to_o be_v author_n of_o your_o false_a doctrine_n and_o also_o the_o father_n of_o your_o image_n otherwise_o they_o must_v be_v hold_v forth_o and_o also_o manage_v by_o satan_n in_o you_o transform_v into_o a_o angel_n of_o light_n but_o now_o i_o do_v believe_v that_o those_o doctrine_n and_o practice_n of_o you_o which_o i_o have_v write_v against_o be_v never_o reveal_v to_o you_o from_o heaven_n by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n but_o they_o rise_v out_o of_o hell_n now_o in_o page_n the_o eight_o of_o your_o book_n you_o write_v against_o i_o because_o i_o deny_v the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o power_n or_o the_o arise_v of_o the_o seed_n or_o god_n in_o man_n the_o which_o doctrine_n i_o do_v deny_v in_o my_o first_o book_n and_o do_v still_o deny_v they_o for_o it_o be_v neither_o the_o seed_n nor_o god_n that_o fall_v from_o heaven_n into_o bondage_n and_o captivity_n in_o the_o son_n and_o daughter_n of_o man_n but_o it_o be_v the_o first_o man_n adam_n that_o fall_v both_o soul_n and_o body_n and_o we_o be_v his_o generation_n have_v be_v in_o the_o fall_n as_o well_o as_o he_o and_o you_o also_o say_v that_o christ_n descend_v to_o bring_v man_n out_o of_o the_o fall_n then_o according_a to_o your_o own_o confession_n it_o be_v the_o first_o man_n adam_n which_o god_n create_v and_o make_v that_o fall_v into_o transgression_n so_o than_o it_o both_o be_v and_o be_v the_o first_o man_n adam_n that_o be_v to_o be_v both_o quicken_v and_o also_o raise_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o life_n that_o never_o sin_v the_o which_o be_v god_n manifest_v himself_o in_o these_o earthly_a tabernacle_n by_o his_o own_o spirit_n but_o now_o the_o holy_a ghost_n never_o descend_v into_o the_o virgin_n womb_n for_o the_o raise_v the_o seed_n or_o god_n out_o of_o bondage_n and_o captivity_n but_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n do_v descend_v in_o the_o son_n and_o daughter_n of_o man_n for_o the_o bruise_a the_o serpent_n head_n and_o for_o raise_v and_o bring_v of_o they_o both_o soul_n and_o body_n to_o a_o enjoyment_n of_o god_n again_o but_o yet_o i_o do_v own_o the_o power_n to_o be_v both_o the_o resurrection_n and_o the_o life_n as_o he_o be_v in_o himself_o and_o he_o be_v also_o man_n resurrection_n and_o life_n as_o he_o come_v to_o believe_v in_o the_o light_n and_o obey_v it_o so_o man_n come_v to_o be_v quicken_v and_o also_o raise_v from_o under_o the_o power_n of_o death_n by_o the_o spirit_n of_o life_n and_o so_o bring_v into_o a_o enjoyment_n of_o light_n and_o life_n again_o for_o the_o seed_n do_v never_o descend_v in_o man_n for_o the_o quicken_a and_o raise_v up_o of_o the_o seed_n in_o man_n neither_o do_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n descend_v to_o raise_v up_o god_n in_o man_n nor_o yet_o christ_n within_o never_o descend_v to_o raise_v up_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n in_o man._n now_o you_o do_v suppose_v the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o power_n because_o the_o light_n descend_v and_o appear_v to_o man_n whilst_o he_o be_v in_o the_o fall_n but_o yet_o it_o abide_v not_o with_o man_n whilst_o he_o be_v in_o the_o fall_n but_o only_o to_o convince_v he_o of_o his_o sin_n and_o also_o to_o condemn_v he_o for_o it_o but_o now_o if_o man_n hear_v the_o spirit_n and_o believe_v in_o the_o light_n and_o obey_v it_o than_o man_n be_v both_o quicken_v and_o raise_v and_o bring_v up_o to_o god_n again_o by_o he_o who_o be_v both_o the_o resurrection_n and_o the_o life_n wherefore_o now_o look_v back_o and_o remember_v that_o god_n call_v to_o adam_n in_o the_o cool_a of_o the_o day_n after_o he_o have_v eat_v of_o the_o fruit_n of_o the_o tree_n of_o knowledge_n and_o have_v break_v the_o command_n of_o god_n then_o god_n curse_v the_o serpent_n and_o also_o drive_v adam_n out_o of_o the_o garden_n because_o of_o his_o sin_n and_o transgression_n and_o he_o also_o place_v a_o flame_a sword_n against_o he_o but_o still_o god_n abode_n in_o the_o garden_n in_o dominion_n over_o all_o to_o adam_n condemnation_n but_o now_o in_o page_n the_o nine_o of_o your_o book_n in_o contradiction_n to_o what_o i_o have_v write_v you_o say_v if_o god_n be_v above_o in_o all_o the_o son_n and_o daughter_n of_o man_n he_o be_v take_v in_o his_o proper_a place_n and_o the_o devil_n be_v in_o he_o and_o i_o may_v have_v spare_v my_o pain_n but_o now_o i_o do_v never_o read_v or_o hear_v that_o god_n be_v out_o of_o his_o proper_a place_n for_o god_n be_v in_o his_o proper_a place_n and_o his_o throne_n be_v establish_v in_o justice_n and_o judgement_n over_o wicked_a man_n to_o their_o condemnation_n psalm_n 11._o as_o well_o as_o in_o love_n and_o mercy_n over_o those_o that_o hear_v he_o and_o obey_v he_o but_o now_o the_o devil_n and_o man_n both_o leave_v their_o place_n and_o habitation_n in_o god_n and_o the_o serpent_n have_v have_v the_o dominion_n over_o man_n and_o woman_n for_o the_o scripture_n say_v darkness_n have_v cover_v the_o earth_n and_o gross_a darkness_n the_o people_n and_o because_o the_o prophet_n say_v behold_v i_o be_o press_v as_o a_o cart_n be_v press_v with_o sheaf_n again_o because_o the_o scripture_n say_v let_v god_n arise_v and_o his_o enemy_n shall_v be_v scatter_v therefore_o you_o do_v conclude_v and_o also_o believe_v that_o the_o seed_n of_o god_n be_v underneath_o and_o must_v arise_v and_o indeed_o i_o once_o hear_v once_o preach_v and_o in_o his_o declaration_n do_v exhort_v all_o that_o have_v believe_v to_o feel_v god_n to_o arise_v and_o none_o to_o keep_v he_o down_o from_o which_o i_o do_v conclude_v thus_o much_o that_o the_o creature_n be_v in_o dominion_n over_o his_o creator_n and_o also_o have_v power_n to_o keep_v he_o down_o and_o another_o say_v all_o feel_v god_n to_o arise_v and_o take_v the_o dominion_n over_o all_o which_o do_v conclude_v that_o he_o be_v not_o yet_o in_o dominion_n over_o all_o but_o now_o consider_v a_o little_a wherefore_o do_v god_n swear_v in_o his_o wrath_n that_o israel_n shall_v not_o enter_v into_o his_o rest_n and_o why_o do_v god_n strive_v with_o the_o old_a world_n by_o his_o spirit_n be_v it_o because_o his_o spirit_n be_v in_o bondage_n and_o captivity_n in_o they_o and_o so_o stand_v in_o need_n of_o help_n and_o deliverance_n from_o they_o or_o wherefore_o do_v god_n strive_v with_o we_o by_o his_o spirit_n in_o our_o youthful_a day_n be_v it_o because_o his_o spirit_n or_o seed_n be_v in_o bondage_n and_o captivity_n in_o we_o and_o so_o stand_v in_o need_n of_o our_o help_n to_o raise_v he_o up_o out_o of_o bondage_n and_o captivity_n or_o be_v it_o not_o we_o that_o be_v in_o bondage_n and_o captivity_n both_o soul_n and_o body_n be_v under_o the_o power_n of_o death_n and_o darkness_n and_o so_o stand_v in_o need_n both_o of_o help_n and_o deliverance_n by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n for_o the_o apostle_n say_v awake_v thou_o that_o sleep_v and_o arise_v from_o the_o dead_a and_o christ_n shall_v give_v thou_o light_n so_o then_o it_o be_v we_o that_o have_v sleep_v the_o sleep_n of_o death_n that_o be_v to_o be_v awaken_v and_o also_o quicken_v and_o it_o be_v not_o the_o seed_n nor_o god_n that_o be_v to_o be_v quicken_v nor_o yet_o that_o be_v to_o arise_v out_o of_o bondage_n and_o captivity_n in_o the_o son_n and_o daughter_n of_o men._n therefore_o you_o must_v find_v out_o some_o other_o interpretation_n for_o these_o scripture_n for_o be_v it_o not_o write_v that_o the_o seed_n of_o the_o woman_n shall_v break_v the_o serpent_n head_n then_o must_v not_o the_o seed_n of_o the_o woman_n be_v uppermost_a and_o above_o the_o serpent_n head_n in_o all_o the_o son_n and_o daughter_n of_o man_n for_o the_o seed_n of_o the_o serpent_n as_o it_o be_v write_v shall_v but_o bruise_v his_o heel_n and_o be_v it_o not_o also_o write_v that_o god_n be_v the_o high_a power_n and_o every_o soul_n must_v be_v subject_a to_o he_o and_o in_o page_n 10._o of_o your_o book_n you_o say_v that_o i_o do_v deny_v the_o travel_a seed_n now_o this_o i_o do_v deny_v that_o neither_o the_o seed_n nor_o god_n in_o man_n travel_n for_o their_o own_o deliverance_n because_o that_o neither_o god_n nor_o yet_o his_o spirit_n be_v ever_o in_o bondage_n or_o
captivity_n but_o man_n both_o soul_n and_o body_n have_v be_v under_o the_o bondage_n of_o corruption_n so_o it_o be_v we_o that_o be_v to_o be_v deliver_v out_o of_o bondage_n and_o captivity_n it_o be_v we_o that_o be_v to_o make_v war_n in_o the_o spirit_n against_o the_o power_n of_o darkness_n and_o also_o to_o travel_v in_o the_o spirit_n that_o so_o by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n we_o may_v come_v to_o be_v deliver_v from_o the_o power_n of_o death_n and_o bring_v into_o the_o liberty_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n for_o they_o that_o overcome_v as_o he_o overcome_v in_o the_o day_n of_o the_o flesh_n they_o shall_v inherit_v all_o thing_n now_o the_o son_n of_o righteousness_n do_v arise_v among_o the_o jew_n according_a as_o it_o be_v write_v with_o heal_v under_o his_o wing_n according_a to_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n to_o his_o prophet_n of_o old_a that_o so_o he_o may_v put_v a_o end_n to_o all_o those_o thing_n by_o which_o they_o do_v expect_v heal_v or_o remission_n of_o sin_n now_o in_o page_n 7_o of_o your_o book_n you_o write_v against_o i_o because_o i_o say_v the_o book_n be_v pay_v for_o out_o of_o the_o poor_n collection_n now_o as_o concern_v the_o

have_v continue_v their_o buy_n of_o they_o still_o than_o you_o shall_v not_o have_v need_v to_o have_v order_v that_o they_o shall_v be_v pay_v for_o out_o of_o the_o poor_n collection_n but_o the_o thing_n be_v true_a and_o i_o can_v prove_v it_o out_o of_o some_o of_o their_o own_o mouth_n and_o in_o the_o same_o page_n of_o your_o book_n you_o say_v that_o i_o contend_v against_o the_o truth_n and_o yet_o you_o say_v that_o i_o be_o cry_v up_o the_o light_n be_v not_o the_o light_n and_o the_o truth_n all_o one_o and_o be_v not_o this_o confusion_n in_o babylon_n take_v it_o into_o your_o

god_n who_o both_o be_v and_o be_v a_o spirit_n be_v never_o dead_a for_o he_o be_v without_o beginning_n of_o day_n or_o end_n of_o life_n but_o now_o we_o have_v be_v dead_a as_o to_o the_o enjoyment_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o life_n in_o we_o for_o the_o power_n of_o death_n and_o hell_n have_v have_v dominion_n over_o we_o both_o soul_n and_o body_n and_o understanding_n but_o yet_o the_o power_n of_o death_n be_v never_o over_o nor_o yet_o above_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n in_o we_o neither_o be_v ever_o god_n or_o christ_n under_o the_o power_n of_o death_n and_o hell_n in_o we_o wherefore_o it_o be_v neither_o god_n nor_o christ_n that_o be_v to_o arise_v in_o we_o but_o we_o be_v to_o be_v raise_v by_o the_o arm_n of_o his_o power_n reveal_v from_o heaven_n and_o again_o you_o say_v his_o power_n be_v rise_v in_o thousand_o now_o i_o do_v believe_v many_o have_v be_v quicken_v and_o also_o raise_v by_o his_o power_n from_o under_o death_n power_n for_o the_o

and_o that_o the_o visible_a heaven_n shall_v also_o melt_v with_o fervent_a heat_n now_o friend_n see_v you_o do_v not_o deny_v some_o of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n nor_o yet_o of_o the_o priest_n of_o england_n but_o only_o that_o which_o be_v antichristian_a and_o these_o be_v those_o doctrine_n that_o both_o the_o priest_n and_o professor_n own_o wherefore_o i_o will_v desire_v you_o to_o give_v forth_o a_o plain_a answer_n both_o to_o the_o world_n and_o i_o also_o which_o of_o these_o forementioned_a doctrine_n be_v according_a to_o the_o truth_n and_o which_o of_o they_o be_v antichristian_a and_o erroneous_a &_o so_o write_v a_o answer_n in_o plain_a word_n that_o every_o one_o that_o can_v read_v may_v come_v to_o understand_v for_o the_o truth_n be_v not_o ashamed_a of_o the_o article_n of_o its_o faith_n now_o in_o pag._n 11_o of_o your_o book_n you_o say_v that_o i_o do_v exclude_v the_o manhood_n now_o i_o do_v not_o exclude_v the_o manhood_n out_o of_o his_o place_n for_o the_o visible_a man_n christ_n be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n by_o generation_n from_o god_n full_a of_o grace_n and_o truth_n but_o yet_o there_o be_v a_o distinction_n to_o be_v make_v betwixt_o the_o godhead_n and_o the_o visible_a body_n in_o which_o the_o godhead_n dwell_v for_o christ_n himself_o make_v a_o distinction_n and_o say_v that_o his_o father_n be_v great_a than_o he_o and_o again_o he_o say_v my_o doctrine_n be_v not_o i_o but_o his_o that_o send_v i_o and_o he_o say_v to_o the_o jew_n destroy_v this_o temple_n and_o in_o three_o day_n i_o will_v raise_v it_o up_o again_o now_o they_o have_v no_o power_n to_o destroy_v the_o godhead_n that_o dwell_v in_o the_o temple_n that_o both_o be_v and_o be_v a_o thing_n impossible_a now_o you_o say_v in_o pag._n 12_o of_o your_o book_n that_o i_o contradict_v myself_o because_o that_o i_o say_v that_o the_o man_n in_o the_o mystery_n be_v the_o woman_n part_n that_o be_v his_o soul_n and_o body_n now_o the_o mystery_n that_o dwell_v in_o christ_n body_n that_o be_v the_o godhead_n and_o the_o godhead_n die_v not_o as_o i_o write_v in_o my_o answer_n to_o the_o baptist_n now_o as_o christ_n be_v god_n or_o the_o seed_n of_o god_n or_o the_o son_n of_o god_n by_o generation_n from_o god_n he_o never_o die_v for_o the_o holy_a ghost_n die_v not_o neither_o have_v the_o devil_n power_n to_o tempt_v he_o as_o he_o be_v god_n for_o god_n can_v be_v tempt_v as_o say_v the_o scripture_n but_o as_o he_o be_v the_o son_n of_o mary_n the_o devil_n have_v power_n to_o present_a temptation_n to_o his_o soul_n even_o whilst_o his_o soul_n dwell_v in_o the_o godhead_n but_o the_o visible_a manhood_n which_o be_v the_o seed_n of_o the_o woman_n as_o well_o as_o the_o seed_n of_o god_n who_o dwell_v in_o the_o godhead_n he_o be_v impower_v by_o the_o godhead_n to_o bruise_v the_o serpent_n head_n in_o all_o his_o appearance_n and_o temptation_n and_o so_o the_o seed_n of_o the_o woman_n do_v bruise_v the_o serpent_n head_n and_o so_o he_o never_o come_v under_o the_o devil_n power_n where_o both_o we_o and_o our_o first_o parent_n adam_n and_o eve_n have_v be_v so_o that_o christ_n as_o he_o be_v man_n of_o the_o substance_n of_o his_o mother_n he_o die_v but_o as_o he_o be_v god_n and_o of_o the_o substance_n of_o his_o father_n he_o die_v not_o for_o the_o godhead_n die_v not_o but_o as_o for_o our_o soul_n and_o body_n they_o like_o eve_n their_o mother_n have_v be_v in_o transgression_n but_o as_o for_o christ_n soul_n and_o body_n it_o never_o consent_v to_o sin_n nor_o yet_o join_v to_o the_o spirit_n of_o corruption_n and_o again_o you_o say_v his_o go_n be_v of_o old_a from_o everlasting_a friend_n be_v not_o the_o lord_n go_n by_o his_o universal_a spirit_n among_o the_o gentile_n the_o same_o now_o as_o they_o be_v in_o the_o day_n of_o abraham_n for_o then_o god_n appear_v to_o abimelech_n king_n of_o the_o philistine_n by_o his_o spirit_n in_o the_o night_n and_o be_v not_o he_o a_o gentile_a as_o well_o as_o we_o and_o do_v not_o god_n by_o his_o spirit_n make_v know_v himself_o to_o job_n and_o elihu_n be_v not_o they_o gentiles_n and_o have_v not_o the_o samaritan_n the_o spirit_n of_o god_n in_o the_o day_n of_o christ_n flesh_n as_o well_o as_o we_o have_v it_o now_o and_o be_v god_n not_o to_o be_v worship_v in_o his_o own_o spirit_n then_o as_o christ_n say_v to_o the_o woman_n of_o samaria_n and_o in_o pag._n 12_o of_o your_o book_n you_o say_v that_o christ_n blood_n have_v a_o testimony_n in_o it_o towards_o the_o remission_n of_o sin_n so_o then_o according_a to_o your_o own_o word_n there_o be_v no_o real_a remission_n of_o sin_n by_o christ_n blood_n that_o be_v shed_v upon_o the_o ground_n then_o i_o will_v desire_v to_o know_v what_o benefit_n the_o gentile_n have_v by_o that_o blood_n if_o they_o have_v not_o real_a remission_n of_o sin_n by_o christ_n blood_n that_o be_v shed_v upon_o the_o cross_n without_o he_o gate_n of_o jerusalem_n and_o in_o pag._n 13_o of_o your_o book_n you_o say_v that_o i_o do_v not_o tell_v you_o by_o who_o eve_n conceive_v the_o man_n of_o sin_n who_o be_v the_o son_n of_o perdition_n but_o now_o i_o will_v tell_v you_o by_o who_o eve_n conceive_v it_o be_v by_o the_o serpent_n who_o have_v a_o conception_n in_o her_o soul_n when_o his_o temptation_n enter_v she_o and_o the_o same_o spirit_n of_o darkness_n that_o bring_v death_n over_o she_o have_v bring_v death_n over_o we_o we_o have_v be_v the_o child_n of_o adam_n and_o eve_n in_o the_o fall_n and_o have_v be_v captivate_v by_o the_o same_o spirit_n of_o darkness_n as_o they_o be_v and_o you_o also_o write_v against_o i_o because_o i_o say_v there_o be_v two_o christ_n now_o do_v not_o the_o true_a christ_n say_v that_o there_o shall_v be_v false_a christ_n and_o they_o be_v the_o son_n of_o perdition_n who_o be_v one_o with_o the_o spirit_n of_o antichrist_n and_o be_v there_o not_o two_o spirit_n two_o power_n two_o god_n two_o prince_n two_o mystery_n and_o be_v not_o the_o one_o light_n and_o the_o other_o darkness_n the_o one_o be_v call_v the_o true_a

also_o say_v that_o i_o do_v direct_o oppose_v the_o scripture_n to_o say_v that_o christ_n come_v not_o of_o david_n nor_o israel_n now_o the_o word_n in_o my_o book_n pag._n 23_o run_v thus_o now_o
