be_v reduce_v to_o the_o follow_v plain_a proposition_n viz._n 1._o that_o god_n be_v no_o regarde_a of_o person_n but_o that_o whosoever_o true_o fear_v he_o and_o seek_v to_o do_v his_o will_n in_o any_o tribe_n profession_n or_o religion_n be_v accept_v by_o he_o and_o that_o out_o of_o all_o the_o tribe_n profession_n and_o religion_n that_o be_v at_o this_o day_n over_o the_o whole_a world_n

all_o the_o age_n of_o the_o church_n 3._o that_o this_o spirit_n blow_v where_o it_o list_v and_o be_v not_o controlable_a by_o the_o wisdom_n or_o power_n of_o man._n 4._o that_o regeneration_n in_o

to_o the_o divine_a operation_n 5._o that_o in_o the_o process_n of_o regeneration_n there_o be_v a_o conformity_n to_o the_o bless_a jesus_n as_o to_o the_o great_a exemplar_n and_o that_o the_o

ghost_n and_o in_o the_o renovation_n of_o the_o whole_a man_n spirit_n soul_n and_o body_n 7._o that_o this_o kingdom_n shall_v comprehend_v the_o utmost_a end_n of_o the_o earth_n by_o virtue_n of_o a_o everlasting_a decree_n and_o that_o christ_n as_o he_o be_v the_o second_o adam_n be_v the_o head_n and_o representative_a of_o the_o whole_a humane_a nature_n 8._o that_o not_o only_o the_o

that_o they_o may_v both_o endure_v for_o ever_o 9_o that_o christ_n as_o he_o be_v heir_n of_o all_o thing_n will_v lose_v nothing_o that_o be_v his_o right_n or_o that_o the_o father_n have_v give_v

submit_v themselves_o to_o he_o and_o to_o bow_v the_o knee_n 10._o that_o the_o time_n of_o restitution_n be_v now_o about_o beginning_n and_o that_o there_o be_v a_o voice_n at_o present_a in_o the_o wilderness_n cry_v that_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n upon_o earth_n be_v at_o hand_n and_o moreover_o it_o be_v to_o be_v remark_v in_o order_n to_o a_o right_a understanding_n both_o of_o

mystical_a one_o also_o 2._o that_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o believe_v the_o death_n or_o resurrection_n of_o christ_n without_o bear_v the_o mark_v of_o they_o in_o ourselves_o and_o 3._o that_o the_o operation_n of_o the_o divine_a spirit_n and_o the_o open_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n be_v successive_a and_o gradual_a which_o be_v well_o understand_v there_o will_v be_v no_o great_a
