the_o saviour_n of_o the_o world_n and_o so_o do_v we_o who_o be_v the_o lamb_n of_o god_n that_o take_v away_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o world_n it_o be_v not_o say_v he_o take_v away_o the_o gild_n o●_n condemnation_n of_o sin_n only_o but_o the_o sin_n itself_o thus_o do_v we_o believe_v in_o he_o so_o let_v people_n judge_v whether_o this_o be_v not_o the_o true_a christ_n so_o here_o john_n do_v not_o bear_v record_n to_o a_o body_n only_o but_o to_o the_o anal_a power_n and_o godhead_n so_o the_o apostle_n heb._n 10.5_o bear_v witness_n to_o he_o for_o who_o the_o body_n be_v prepare_v

of_o christ_n in_o we_o be_v the_o saviour_n this_o he_o suppose_v to_o be_v the_o main_a end_n of_o our_o meeting_n and_o this_o say_v he_o be_v against_o the_o testimony_n of_o christ_n to_o the_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

thou_o false_a tongue_n do_v not_o thou_o know_v thou_o must_v give_v a_o account_n for_o these_o thing_n to_o the_o lord_n for_o now_o have_v their_o principle_n be_v our_o principle_n paul_n will_v have_v have_v no_o need_n to_o have_v make_v war_n against_o they_o neither_o will_v the_o apostle_n have_v have_v any_o such_o caus●_n to_o leave_v they_o under_o such_o a_o odium_fw-la upon_o the_o record_n of_o truth_n to_o all_o succeed_a generation_n call_v they_o beast_n for_o no_o other_o cause_n that_o we_o can_v here_o on_o from_o thou_o but_o for_o deny_v the_o resurrection_n and_o yet_o i_o can_v s●e_v little_a but_o thy_o bare_a word_n for_o it_o neither_o though_o thou_o say_v it_o be_v manifest_a in_o 1_o cor._n 15._o beside_o there_o be_v many_o that_o be_v find_v in_o this_o error_n as_o the_o sect_n of_o the_o saducee_n yet_o be_v not_o leave_v under_o that_o odium_fw-la which_o make_v i_o judge_v that_o the_o apostle_n have_v see_v some_o other_o brutish_a principle_n or_o practice_n which_o cause_v he_o thus_o to_o contend_v with_o they_o but_o if_o thou_o can_v prove_v that_o yet_o it_o will_v be_v too_o much_o for_o thou_o to_o undertake_v to_o make_v good_a thy_o charge_n because_o we_o do_v not_o at_o all_o deny_v the_o resurrection_n and_o to_o lay_v open_a the_o wickedness_n and_o falsity_n of_o this_o thy_o charge_n i_o shall_v here_o declare_v to_o the_o world_n what_o our_o prime_n chief_a and_o lead_a principle_n be_v our_o prime_n chief_a o●_n lead_v principle_n be_v christ_n the_o light_n who_o god_n have_v give_v for_o a_o leader_n who_o have_v enlighten_v every_o man_n that_o come_v into_o the_o world_n which_o light_n have_v shine_v in_o our_o dark_a heart_n and_o manifest_v itself_o in_o our_o conscience_n by_o which_o we_o first_o come_v to_o see_v our_o m_o serable_a state_n and_o condition_n be_v by_o nature_n child_n o●_n wrath_n and_o under_o the_o power_n of_o darkness_n in_o which_o state_n we_o be_v separate_v from_o god_n from_o hit_v spirit_n and_o this_o light_n which_o discover_v our_o woeful_a state_n under_o sin_n and_o in_o transgression_n we_o feel_v it_o also_o to_o judge_v we_o and_o as_o we_o give_v heed_n unto_o it_o and_o regard_v its_o reproof_n and_o hearken_v to_o its_o voice_n which_o voice_n we_o often_o hea●d_v in_o the_o cool_a of_o the_o day_n but_o i_o say_v as_o we_o begin_v to_o have_v regard_n unto_o it_o and_o believe_v in_o it_o and_o obey_v its_o voice_n we_o find_v it_o be_v the_o way_n of_o life_n and_o its_o leading_n we_o discern_v be_v always_o out_o of_o every_o thing_n that_o be_v evil_a and_o if_o at_o any_o time_n we_o turn_v aside_o to_o hearken_v to_o the_o enemy_n we_o find_v it_o to_o rebuke_v we_o and_o judge_v we_o and_o then_o our_o peace_n will_v be_v break_v and_o pain_n and_o anguish_n we_o shall_v feel_v in_o our_o soul_n and_o some_o of_o we_o sometime_o will_v be_v afraid_a that_o it_o be_v the_o dictate_v of_o a_o natural_a conscience_n and_o then_o we_o be_v afraid_a of_o be_v deceive_v but_o come_v into_o seriousness_n and_o weightiness_n we_o find_v that_o all_o man_n by_o nature_n be_v dead_a but_o this_o we_o discern_v be_v live_v and_o as_o we_o obey_v we_o feel_v its_o life_n to_o spring_v up_o in_o we_o and_o we_o be_v quicken_v by_o it_o and_o it_o lead_v we_o more_o and_o more_o out_o of_o death_n and_o darkness_n and_o live_a open_n in_o the_o mystery_n of_o salvation_n we_o come_v to_o receive_v than_o we_o begin_v to_o grow_v bold_a and_o confident_a that_o this_o light_n be_v true_o the_o light_n and_o spirit_n of_o jesus_n so_o he_o become_v our_o leader_n and_o as_o many_o as_o be_v faithful_a to_o it_o receive_v power_n and_o wax_v strong_a and_o be_v bring_v in_o some_o measure_n to_o the_o word_n of_o life_n and_o through_o christ_n alone_o have_v the_o lord_n raise_v we_o up_o to_o be_v a_o people_n who_o the_o world_n deride_o call_v quaker_n and_o for_o the_o sake_n of_o this_o righteous_a principle_n have_v many_o of_o this_o people_n deep_o suffer_v yet_o of_o it_o we_o be_v not_o ashamed_a but_o be_v resolve_v to_o follow_v it_o although_o through_o the_o tribulation_n through_o the_o cross_n and_o self-denial_n believe_v that_o he_o will_v crown_n we_o with_o a_o everlasting_a crown_n of_o glory_n so_o this_o be_v our_o faith_n that_o the_o lord_n will_v raise_v we_o up_o at_o the_o last_o day_n for_o if_o the_o dead_a rise_v not_o we_o be_v of_o all_o creature_n most_o miserable_a be_v give_v up_o to_o suffer_v what_o man_n shall_v be_v suffer_v to_o do_v unto_o we_o but_o this_o be_v our_o faith_n that_o the_o lord_n will_v raise_v we_o up_o according_a to_o his_o promise_n and_o will_v change_v our_o vile_a body_n and_o will_v fashion_v they_o like_a unto_o his_o glorious_a body_n so_o be_v satisfy_v as_o concern_v the_o love_n of_o god_n that_o there_o shall_v not_o be_v any_o thing_n want_v to_o make_v our_o inheritance_n perfect_a to_o our_o eternal_a content_n and_o satisfaction_n we_o can_v leave_v that_o to_o the_o lord_n to_o prepare_v we_o a_o body_n as_o it_o please_v he_o so_o this_o light_n of_o jesus_n christ_n be_v our_o principle_n which_o be_v not_o the_o prime_a principle_n of_o the_o beast_n which_o paul_n fight_v with_o at_o ephesus_n for_o this_o be_v the_o very_a thing_n that_o this_o apostle_n be_v to_o turn_v people_n to_o act_v 26.18_o so_o i_o have_v do_v with_o this_o charge_n only_o note_v one_o thing_n in_o page_n 72._o where_o he_o say_v i_o call_v to_o he_o for_o his_o bible_n i_o call_v not_o to_o he_o for_o his_o bible_n therefore_o let_v that_o be_v add_v also_o to_o fill_v up_o his_o measure_n who_o i_o perceive_v be_v so_o harden_a he_o neither_o care_v much_o what_o he_o either_o say_v
