that_o the_o holy_a spirit_n as_o he_o speak_v in_o the_o scripture_n be_v to_o try_v and_o judge_v the_o spirit_n of_o man_n and_o particular_o the_o quaker_n spirit_n which_o they_o call_v the_o light_n within_o and_o here_o thou_o have_v plain_o manifest_v deceit_n unto_o all_o who_o have_v eye_n to_o see_v and_o thy_o mean_v will_v not_o cover_v thou_o and_o who_o have_v any_o cause_n to_o believe_v thou_o that_o can_v twist_v thy_o word_n from_o one_o thing_n to_o another_o but_o how_o do_v the_o scripture_n try_v and_o judge_v the_o spirit_n of_o man_n according_a to_o thy_o mean_v i_o will_v understand_v thy_o mind_n more_o plain_o as_o to_o this_o thy_o evasion_n and_o why_o must_v the_o quaker_n spirit_n which_o thou_o say_v they_o call_v the_o light_n within_o be_v particular_o try_v and_o judge_v by_o the_o scripture_n must_v the_o letter_n try_v and_o judge_v the_o light_n will_v thou_o make_v the_o great_a subordinate_a to_o the_o lesser_a for_o that_o which_o be_v the_o original_a of_o a_o thing_n must_v needs_o be_v great_a than_o that_o which_o be_v manifest_a from_o it_o and_o the_o letter_n be_v manifest_a from_o the_o light_n for_o the_o holy_a man_n of_o god_n speak_v as_o they_o be_v move_v by_o it_o and_o it_o be_v within_o they_o when_o it_o move_v they_o to_o speak_v and_o so_o the_o holy_a man_n spirit_n be_v the_o light_n with_o which_o the_o quaker_n have_v unity_n and_o their_o word_n do_v not_o try_v and_o judge_v the_o quaker_n spirit_n but_o their_o word_n be_v fulfil_v and_o witness_v by_o the_o same_o spirit_n and_o here_o the_o quaker_n be_v before_o you_o all_o who_o be_v only_o in_o the_o word_n as_o they_o be_v once_o speak_v and_o not_o in_o the_o spirit_n by_o which_o they_o be_v speak_v and_o so_o you_o want_v the_o key_n of_o knowledge_n which_o open_v the_o mystery_n of_o the_o kingdom_n and_o when_o john_n bid_v the_o saint_n try_v the_o spirit_n whether_o they_o be_v of_o god_n he_o say_v there_o be_v many_o false_a prophet_n go_v out_o into_o the_o world_n and_o the_o false_a prophet_n be_v in_o a_o false_a spirit_n which_o the_o saint_n be_v to_o try_v in_o the_o true_a spirit_n and_o so_o the_o true_a spirit_n be_v the_o tryer_n of_o all_o false_a spirit_n and_o false_a prophet_n and_o the_o same_o spirit_n be_v the_o tryer_n of_o all_o spirit_n now_o and_o they_o that_o live_v in_o it_o hold_v fast_o that_o which_o be_v good_a and_o know_v it_o to_o be_v good_a though_o false_a spirit_n may_v call_v it_o evil._n 5th_o thou_o say_v thou_o say_v to_o r._n a._n that_o thou_o be_v afraid_a that_o the_o quaker_n be_v deceive_v and_o guide_v by_o a_o spirit_n of_o delusion_n and_o that_o it_o be_v thy_o judgement_n that_o all_o the_o son_n and_o daughter_n of_o man_n ought_v to_o be_v guide_v by_o the_o scripture_n rep._n it_o seem_v thou_o have_v no_o certain_a ground_n to_o believe_v that_o the_o quaker_n be_v deceive_v and_o delude_v but_o only_o waste_v afraid_a and_o so_o it_o be_v manifest_a thou_o can_v not_o try_v they_o either_o by_o the_o spirit_n or_o scripture_n sure_o wise_a man_n will_v be_v ashamed_a of_o thy_o ignorance_n and_o folly_n and_o for_o the_o remove_n thy_o vain_a fear_n we_o be_v willing_a to_o tell_v thou_o and_o thy_o brethren_n that_o we_o live_v in_o the_o bless_a truth_n where_o righteousness_n &_o peace_n embrace_v and_o kiss_v each_o other_o and_o as_o for_o thy_o judgement_n that_o all_o the_o son_n and_o daughter_n of_o man_n ought_v to_o be_v guide_v by_o the_o scripture_n thou_o have_v give_v thy_o judgement_n inconsiderate_o for_o thou_o have_v not_o demonstrate_v any_o thing_n as_o a_o ground_n why_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v so_o but_o only_o state_v it_o from_o thy_o own_o judgement_n and_o if_o thy_o judgement_n be_v sufficient_a to_o bring_v other_o to_o be_v of_o the_o same_o judgement_n than_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o pope_n may_v plead_v authority_n and_o so_o people_n may_v as_o soon_o be_v papist_n as_o baptist_n and_o if_o there_o be_v no_o other_o guide_n but_o the_o scripture_n for_o the_o son_n &_o daughter_n of_o man_n to_o be_v guide_v by_o then_o what_o guide_n have_v such_o as_o never_o hear_v nor_o read_v the_o scripture_n have_v such_o no_o guide_n to_o lead_v they_o to_o fear_n god_n and_o work_v righteousness_n to_o be_v accept_v of_o he_o or_o must_v they_o of_o necessity_n perish_v for_o want_v of_o the_o scripture_n to_o be_v their_o guide_n or_o whether_o can_v such_o a_o people_n be_v save_v thou_o be_v here_o concern_v to_o give_v thy_o

to_o reprove_v thou_o and_o pronounce_v thou_o a_o leper_n and_o that_o a_o little_a time_n after_o he_o confess_v he_o be_v deceive_v and_o be_v a_o false_a prophet_n and_o that_o the_o same_o

which_o thou_o say_v r._n a._n confess_v when_o he_o come_v to_o the_o meet_v again_o ans._n it_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v that_o the_o very_a ground_n of_o all_o the_o buzzle_v and_o noise_n which_o thou_o have_v make_v against_o the_o quaker_n be_v only_o from_o the_o bare_a and_o single_a confession_n of_o r._n a._n and_o thy_o own_o consequence_n and_o conclusion_n from_o what_o he_o have_v confess_v and_o say_v but_o thy_o groundless_a conclusion_n do_v not_o prove_v so_o effectual_a for_o thy_o purpose_n as_o thou_o may_v vain_o suppose_v when_o thou_o begun'_v thy_o work_n for_o though_o thou_o have_v make_v such_o a_o noise_n against_o the_o light_n within_o and_o against_o the_o quaker_n because_o r._n a._n may_v tell_v thou_o the_o quaker_n do_v tell_v he_o he_o be_v to_o mind_v the_o light_n to_o be_v guide_v by_o it_o yet_o the_o light_n be_v not_o to_o be_v charge_v with_o r._n a_n miscarry_v if_o he_o do_v miscarry_v in_o any_o thing_n wherein_o he_o concern_v

this_o do_v not_o make_v the_o light_n to_o be_v a_o false_a principle_n nor_o those_o that_o be_v faithful_a to_o it_o to_o be_v guide_v by_o it_o a_o delude_v people_n and_o if_o he_o do_v confess_v that_o he_o be_v deceive_v it_o do_v not_o follow_v that_o the_o light_n deceive_v he_o for_o there_o be_v never_o any_o false_a prophet_n in_o the_o true_a light_n nor_o never_o any_o true_a prophet_n out_o of_o it_o and_o so_o it_o be_v very_o clear_a that_o r._n a._n be_v not_o guide_v by_o the_o true_a light_n when_o he_o be_v deceive_v and_o be_v a_o false_a prophet_n neither_o do_v it_o appear_v by_o all_o thou_o have_v say_v that_o he_o be_v guide_v by_o the_o light_n and_o yet_o he_o must_v be_v call_v a_o quaker_n because_o he_o may_v sometime_o have_v something_o to_o say_v of_o the_o light_n and_o against_o water-baptism_n and_o suppose_v this_o be_v grant_v yet_o it_o do_v not_o make_v he_o any_o more_o a_o quaker_n then_o for_o a_o man_n to_o speak_v of_o water-baptism_n and_o against_o the_o pope_n will_v make_v he_o a_o baptist_n and_o if_o such_o a_o man_n shall_v do_v or_o say_v something_o that_o be_v a_o manifest_a error_n will_v you_o baptist_n take_v it_o well_o that_o his_o error_n shall_v be_v charge_v upon_o your_o whole_a society_n and_o you_o count_v a_o delude_v people_n because_o of_o such_o a_o miscarriage_n by_o that_o man_n when_o

that_o have_v assist_v thou_o in_o thy_o work_n will_v fall_v under_o your_o own_o shame_n for_o the_o true_a light_n be_v not_o to_o be_v charge_v with_o that_o which_o by_o a_o false_a spirit_n
