as_o be_v without_o god_n in_o the_o world_n and_o stranger_n have_v not_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n in_o themselves_o to_o grieve_v and_o vex_v thou_o say_v for_o that_o which_o may_v be_v know_v of_o god_n be_v manifest_a in_o they_o and_o when_o they_o know_v god_n they_o do_v not_o glorify_v he_o as_o god_n but_o become_v vain_a in_o their_o imagination_n and_o change_v the_o truth_n of_o

by_o this_o promise_n christ_n make_v be_v to_o send_v the_o holy_a ghost_n after_o his_o departure_n it_o be_v evident_a enough_o that_o this_o scripture_n can_v be_v no_o proof_n of_o thy_o

christ_n departure_n which_o destroy_v thy_o opinion_n yet_o thou_o grant_v the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v come_v after_o christ_n ascend_v to_o the_o apostle_n and_o to_o reprove_v the_o world_n so_o by_o this_o thou_o have_v overthrow_v thy_o own_o opinion_n and_o assertion_n and_o we_o say_v that_o christ_n do_v enlighten_v every_o man_n that_o come_v into_o the_o world_n and_o be_v a_o saviour_n

all_o truth_n second_o thou_o say_v this_o promise_n be_v make_v particular_o to_o the_o disciple_n of_o christ_n i_o will_v send_v he_o to_o you_o and_o not_o unto_o the_o world_n answ_n why_o do_v thou_o wrong_v the_o scripture_n do_v it_o not_o say_v when_o he_o come_v he_o shall_v reprove_v the_o world_n of_o sin_n righteousness_n and_o judgement_n of_o sin_n because_o they_o believe_v not_o

and_o it_o be_v sufficient_o prove_v that_o the_o wicked_a resist_v the_o holy_a ghost_n before_o christ_n come_v as_o also_o they_o that_o kill_v the_o prophet_n and_o also_o it_o be_v prove_v that_o

by_o the_o spirit_n by_o which_o they_o be_v to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n to_o all_o nation_n that_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n may_v be_v spread_v over_o all_o this_o do_v not_o disprove_v the_o

of_o god_n and_o now_o thou_o confess_v that_o wicked_a man_n may_v have_v it_o upon_o some_o occasion_n but_o say_v all_o wicked_a man_n have_v it_o not_o read_v over_o again_o joh._n 16._o act_v
