with_o it_o which_o leave_v out_o any_o one_o of_o they_o and_o it_o be_v no_o more_o the_o gospel_n than_o the_o trinity_n be_v the_o trinity_n leave_v out_o one_o of_o the_o three_o person_n leave_v out_o any_o one_o of_o the_o right_n which_o the_o apostle_n preach_v and_o you_o leave_v out_o the_o power_n then_o what_o good_a can_v it_o do_v the_o apostle_n tell_v you_o what_o the_o gospel_n be_v i_o be_o not_o ashamed_a of_o the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n say_v he_o for_o it_o be_v the_o power_n of_o god_n unto_o salvation_n rom._n 1._o 16._o so_o he_o again_o tell_v they_o our_o gospel_n come_v not_o unto_o you_o in_o word_n only_o but_o also_o in_o power_n and_o in_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o in_o much_o assurance_n as_o you_o know_v what_o manner_n of_o man_n we_o be_v among_o

in_o macedonia_n where_o the_o heart_n of_o lydia_n the_o lord_n open_v and_o a_o damsel_n possess_v with_o a_o spirit_n of_o divination_n that_o bring_v her_o master_n much_o gain_n by_o she_o

warrant_v you_o and_o they_o the_o master_n that_o have_v such_o gain_n by_o this_o spirit_n of_o divination_n have_v the_o magistrate_n and_o multitude_n so_o far_o at_o their_o beck_n that_o the_o

that_o bitter_a cry_n help_v ruler_n help_v magistrate_n now_o pray_v my_o master_n let_v i_o private_o ask_v you_o one_o question_n in_o your_o ear_n for_o you_o will_v hardly_o open_o confess_v it_o lest_o every_o body_n shall_v compare_v you_o with_o the_o forego_n master_n be_v not_o you_o afraid_a of_o your_o gain_n also_o that_o you_o have_v make_v the_o same_o cry_n be_v not_o you_o afraid_a of_o your_o fat_a benefice_n your_o darling_n tithe_n if_o you_o say_v nay_o yet_o the_o people_n do_v and_o will_v judge_n that_o be_v the_o sore_a place_n you_o kick_v at_o so_o sir_n by_o these_o thing_n you_o may_v see_v the_o minister_n of_o christ_n do_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o good_a where_o they_o go_v and_o that_o the_o pretend_a minister_n of_o christ_n can_v do_v none_o because_o they_o know_v not_o the_o gospel_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n neither_o can_v they_o except_o it_o be_v reveal_v unto_o they_o by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n now_o sir_n to_o my_o first_o request_n prove_v yourselves_o minister_n of_o christ_n and_o you_o do_v your_o business_n all_o at_o once_o for_o the_o do_v thereof_o please_v to_o take_v the_o advice_n of_o christ_n who_o say_v the_o tree_n

to_o hollow_o and_o hout_n and_o bait_v they_o let_v i_o my_o dear_a master_n beg_v it_o of_o you_o that_o you_o will_v appoint_v once_o more_o both_o time_n and_o place_n and_o order_n the_o quaker_n to_o meet_v you_o in_o the_o face_n of_o the_o country_n and_o bring_v some_o of_o your_o fruit_n with_o you_o of_o both_o side_n perhaps_o some_o of_o you_o have_v be_v settle_a man_n in_o your_o parish_n some_o 10._o 20._o some_o 30_o year_n or_o more_o which_o if_o you_o be_v christ_n minister_n there_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o you_o have_v much_o fruit_n in_o all_o this_o time_n if_o you_o

establish_v bring_v in_o such_o as_o be_v able_a to_o give_v in_o testimony_n before_o god_n and_o the_o country_n that_o your_o gospel_n come_v to_o they_o with_o such_o power_n that_o it_o have_v turn_v they_o from_o darkness_n to_o light_n and_o from_o the_o power_n of_o satan_n unto_o god_n then_o these_o be_v become_v your_o witness_n that_o your_o gospel_n be_v the_o true_a gospel_n of_o

one_o thing_n or_o other_o amiss_o some_o with_o covetousness_n some_o with_o pride_n some_o with_o drunkenness_n indeed_o what_o not_o for_o most_o folk_n will_v have_v one_o story_n or_o other_o to_o tell_v of_o a_o parson_n perhaps_o you_o will_v say_v that_o be_v no_o new_a thing_n the_o great_a lord_n jesus_n be_v call_v a_o wine-bibber_n a_o friend_n to_o publican_n and_o sinner_n and_o

sure_o one_o will_v think_v you_o will_v not_o give_v your_o sacrament_n to_o any_o but_o believer_n and_o only_o such_o as_o be_v worthy_a too_o remember_v paul_n word_n he_o that_o eat_v and_o

to_o testify_v what_o tree_n you_o be_v of_o then_o you_o may_v have_v something_o to_o tell_v the_o king_n and_o parliament_n of_o but_o till_o than_o you_o will_v be_v look_v upon_o to_o be_v but_o like_o demetrius_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o his_o craftsman_n act_n 19_o that_o be_v so_o ingenuous_a to_o confess_v their_o gain_n be_v in_o danger_n if_o the_o true_a minister_n of_o christ_n be_v

unbelieve_a jew_n what_o if_o i_o shall_v say_v you_o be_v worse_o than_o the_o high_a priest_n be_v in_o christ_n day_n that_o accuse_v he_o before_o pilate_n for_o they_o have_v no_o example_n

the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o that_o be_v in_o the_o form_n of_o godliness_n but_o deny_v the_o power_n therefore_o i_o dare_v do_v no_o other_o than_o turn_v away_o from_o you_o though_o you_o
