perish_v but_o he_o that_o have_v the_o true_a live_a hope_n in_o he_o which_o the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o in_o john_n 2.3_o purify_v himself_o even_o as_o he_o be_v pure_a and_o again_o rom._n

in_o his_o book_n be_v in_o page_n 69._o where_o he_o say_v i_o call_v on_o he_o to_o make_v good_a the_o three_o part_n of_o the_o charge_n viz_o that_o the_o prime_a principle_n of_o a_o quaker_n

and_o prove_v of_o it_o by_o his_o pretend_a logical_a argument_n and_o cousequence_n because_o the_o one_o make_v a_o thing_n perfect_o appear_v as_o it_o be_v but_o the_o other_o as_o ill_o manage_v

the_o apostle_n word_n in_o the_o 1_o john_n 5.8_o where_o he_o say_v there_o be_v three_o that_o bear_v witness_n in_o earth_n the_o spirit_n and_o the_o water_n and_o the_o blood_n and_o these_o three_o agree_v in_o i_o mean_v himself_o but_o the_o spirit_n that_o be_v in_o thou_o do_v not_o agree_v with_o the_o water_n of_o baptism_n nor_o blood_n of_o the_o supper_n for_o thou_o have_v renounce_v both_o the_o sacrament_n therefore_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n be_v not_o in_o thou_o why_o shall_v the_o spirit_n that_o be_v in_o i_o agree_v with_o such_o a_o popish_a phrase_n as_o blood_n of_o the_o supper_n any_o mo●e_n than_o with_o sacrament_n of_o the_o altar_n will_v this_o prove_v that_o i_o never_o have_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n in_o i_o or_o that_o the_o spirit_n of_o

no●_n see_v what_o weight_n this_o argument_n have_v in_o it_o the_o weight_n must_v lie_v in_o these_o word_n i_o that_o speak_v unto_o thou_o be_o he_o now_o here_o lie_v the_o question_n whether_o
