doctrine_n outward_o be_v not_o the_o inward_a teach_v of_o the_o spirit_n or_o light_v within_o sufficient_a without_o any_o other_o thing_n so_o some_o do_v argue_v to_o this_o i_o answer_v it_o be_v one_o thing_n what_o god_n can_v or_o can_v do_v it_o be_v far_o another_o thing_n what_o he_o be_v please_v to_o do_v he_o can_v teach_v we_o all_o without_o the_o write_a word_n as_o well_o as_o he_o teach_v the_o apostle_n before_o the_o word_n be_v commit_v to_o write_v but_o he_o have_v not_o see_v meet_v so_o to_o do_v he_o have_v a_o regard_n to_o our_o weakness_n a_o schoolmaster_n that_o be_v able_a can_v teach_v his_o scholar_n without_o book_n but_o they_o can_v so_o well_o learn_v without_o book_n therefore_o he_o teach_v they_o with_o and_o by_o book_n to_o condescend_v to_o their_o weak_a capacity_n when_o god_n almighty_a speak_v from_o heaven_n by_o a_o audible_a voice_n to_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n they_o be_v so_o afraid_a that_o they_o pray_v that_o god_n will_v not_o speak_v to_o they_o viz._n immediate_o they_o be_v not_o able_a to_o bear_v it_o but_o that_o god_n will_v speak_v to_o moses_n and_o by_o moses_n to_o they_o which_o be_v grant_v many_o who_o pretend_v to_o the_o same_o inspiration_n in_o prophecy_n that_o the_o apostle_n have_v shall_v god_n inspire_v they_o as_o he_o do_v they_o in_o that_o extraordinary_a and_o miraculous_a way_n and_o manner_n as_o he_o do_v the_o prophet_n of_o old_a they_o shall_v find_v they_o can_v not_o be_v able_a to_o bear_v it_o such_o miraculous_a &_o extraordinary_a inspiration_n that_o god_n give_v to_o the_o prophet_n will_v be_v like_o new_a wine_n in_o their_o old_a bottle_n that_o will_v burst_v and_o break_v they_o asunder_o what_o god_n have_v join_v together_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o

when_o we_o look_v into_o a_o looking-glass_n the_o glass_n reflect_v the_o image_n or_o shadow_n of_o the_o face_n back_o again_o upon_o the_o beholder_n the_o which_o image_n have_v a_o likeness_n
