etc._n etc._n let_v i_o ask_v you_o do_v that_o spirit_n ever_o proceed_v from_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n that_o breathe_v out_o blasphemy_n in_o his_o face_n judge_n in_o yourselves_o you_o

what_o do_v you_o call_v it_o you_o may_v try_v a_o little_a what_o spirit_n it_o be_v that_o set_v you_o into_o your_o trance_n by_o the_o effect_n if_o your_o spirit_n make_v you_o more_o sensible_a of_o original_a sin_n more_o sensible_a of_o your_o own_o vileness_n more_o humble_a you_o and_o cast_v you_o down_o in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n and_o say_v you_o low_a so_o that_o you_o can_v cry_v

you_o what_o spirit_n it_o be_v i_o dare_v be_v bold_a to_o affirm_v it_o be_v the_o spirit_n of_o satan_n and_o not_o of_o god_n you_o may_v think_v this_o hasty_o and_o sudden_o conclude_v and_o i_o

be_v no_o better_o i_o know_v no_o medium_n unless_o it_o be_v the_o jesuit_n who_o no_o doubt_n have_v have_v a_o large_a hand_n this_o way_n by_o their_o sorcery_n to_o deceive_v the_o people_n

fine_a way_n of_o witchcraft_n &_o sorcery_n convene_v it_o over_o unto_o other_o by_o a_o implicit_a covenant_n seduce_v man_n think_v no_o such_o thing_n but_o rather_o as_o though_o god_n have_v more_o abundant_o declare_v his_o love_n to_o they_o more_o than_o to_o any_o people_n in_o the_o world_n whenas_o indeed_o the_o matter_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o satan_n transform_v into_o a_o angel_n of_o light_n for_o this_o purpose_n let_v i_o make_v bold_a to_o report_v unto_o you_o this_o story_n which_o be_v credible_o report_v to_o have_v be_v in_o or_o about_o bristol_n there_o be_v a_o man_n wife_n desire_v to_o go_v to_o one_o of_o the_o quaker_n meeting_n her_o husband_n be_v unwilling_a but_o after_o importunity_n he_o give_v her_o leave_n but_o she_o be_v so_o wrought_v upon_o in_o that_o meeting_n that_o when_o she_o come_v home_o again_o she_o be_v fill_v with_o revelation_n and_o speak_v as_o though_o she_o have_v speak_v with_o the_o tongue_n of_o angel_n to_o

search_v her_o body_n to_o see_v what_o token_n he_o can_v find_v &_o about_o her_o arm_n he_o find_v a_o silk_n thread_n he_o inquire_v how_o that_o come_v there_o she_o serious_o confess_v she_o know_v nothing_o of_o it_o well_o say_v he_o this_o shall_v not_o remain_v here_o then_o they_o take_v it_o away_o and_o then_o she_o return_v to_o be_v the_o same_o woman_n that_o she_o be_v before_o she_o go_v to_o the_o quaker_n meet_v if_o this_o be_v a_o true_a story_n as_o i_o credible_o believe_v tell_v i_o if_o there_o be_v witchcraft_n use_v in_o this_o quaker_n meeting_n yea_o or_o nay_o oh_o beloved_n you_o may_v well_o think_v the_o devil_n have_v a_o fine_a way_n of_o witchcraft_n now_o then_o ever_o he_o have_v since_o the_o world_n begin_v no_o doubt_n you_o can_v very_o well_o paint_v man_n to_o come_v to_o the_o lord_n table_n and_o to_o preach_v christ_n for_o he_o have_v sometime_o be_v a_o preacher_n of_o christ_n himself_o you_o know_v for_o no_o good_a will_n to_o christ_n you_o may_v be_v sure_a but_o who_o be_v they_o that_o be_v most_o apart_a to_o be_v take_v be_v they_o man_n who_o of_o old_a have_v be_v most_o near_o to_o god_n and_o walk_v before_o god_n as_o our_o father_n abraham_n do_v and_o live_v the_o life_n of_o faith_n and_o holiness_n and_o enjoy_v many_o sweet_a and_o pleasant_a soliloquy_n peace_n and_o joy_n in_o believe_v and_o many_o unspeakable_a consolation_n i_o be_o apt_a to_o think_v few_o of_o these_o man_n be_v take_v if_o any_o at_o all_o but_o rather_o fickle_a mind_a man_n unconstant_a and_o unstable_a in_o their_o way_n such_o as_o perhaps_o do_v change_v their_o god_n and_o religion_n divers_a time_n or_o proud_a person_n such_o as_o affect_v singularity_n to_o be_v alone_o &_o think_v it_o a_o brave_a thing_n to_o be_v take_v up_o with_o rapter_n above_o other_o man_n who_o but_o they_o in_o the_o world_n &_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n who_o more_o proud_a more_o fickle_a and_o unconstant_a more_o wrathful_a &_o passionate_a more_o rail_a &_o blaspheme_v can_v you_o think_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n do_v close_o better_o with_o those_o man_n than_o anyother_n true_o not_o and_o what_o can_v you_o imagine_v will_v be_v the_o issue_n after_o a_o curse_n drive_v this_o way_n a_o certain_a time_n true_o it_o be_v probable_a their_o work_n will_v be_v make_v manifest_a &_o the_o tree_n will_v be_v know_v by_o its_o fruit_n if_o it_o be_v not_o already_o a_o little_a i_o have_v learn_v what_o befall_v grinton_n a_o people_n come_v up_o to_o trance_n and_o revelation_n fall_v at_o last_o to_o popery_n and_o profaneness_n as_o i_o have_v be_v inform_v and_o popery_n i_o think_v be_v the_o main_a thing_n the_o devil_n drive_v at_o now_o rather_o i_o think_v because_o the_o jesuit_n have_v be_v the_o chief_a fomenter_n of_o this_o quake_a religion_n and_o how_o do_v you_o find_v it_o for_o the_o present_a in_o these_o people_n do_v you_o often_o see_v they_o upon_o their_o knee_n bewail_a their_o
