word_n three_o person_n or_o three_o hypostasis_n have_v make_v great_a contention_n in_o former_a time_n and_o divers_a judge_v to_o be_v pious_a and_o learned_a man_n have_v deny_v they_o and_o

sound_v in_o the_o faith_n touch_v the_o doctrine_n themselves_o out_o of_o that_o book_n which_o be_v general_o receive_v by_o the_o society_n but_o by_o this_o as_o we_o do_v not_o at_o all_o intend_v either_o to_o equal_v ourselves_o to_o that_o holy_a man_n the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n who_o be_v bear_v of_o the_o virgin_n mary_n in_o who_o all_o the_o fullness_n of_o the_o godhead_n dwell_v bodily_a nor_o to_o destroy_v the_o reality_n of_o his_o present_a existence_n so_o neither_o do_v we_o as_o some_o have_v false_o callumniate_v we_o for_o though_o we_o affirm_v that_o christ_n dwell_v in_o we_o yet_o not_o immediate_o but_o mediate_o as_o he_o be_v in_o that_o seed_n which_o be_v in_o we_o whereas_o he_o to_o wit_n the_o eternal_a word_n which_o be_v with_o god_n and_o be_v god_n dwell_v immediate_o in_o that_o holy_a man_n he_o than_o be_v as_o the_o head_n and_o we_o as_o the_o member_n he_o the_o vine_n we_o the_o branch_n so_o god_n dwell_v otherwise_o in_o the_o man_n jesus_n than_o in_o we_o we_o also_o free_o reject_v the_o heresy_n of_o apolinarius_n who_o deny_v he_o to_o have_v any_o soul_n but_o say_v the_o body_n be_v only_o act_v by_o the_o godhead_n as_o also_o the_o error_n of_o eutiche_n who_o make_v the_o manhood_n to_o be_v whole_o swallow_v up_o of_o the_o godhead_n wherefore_o as_o we_o believe_v he_o be_v a_o true_a and_o a_o real_a man_n so_o we_o also_o believe_v that_o he_o continue_v so_o glorify_v in_o the_o heaven_n in_o soul_n and_o body_n by_o who_o god_n shall_v judge_v the_o world_n in_o the_o great_a and_o general_a day_n of_o judgement_n neither_o do_v we_o hereby_o intend_v any_o way_n to_o lessen_v or_o derogate_v from_o the_o atonement_n and_o sacrifice_n of_o jesus_n christ_n but_o on_o the_o contrary_a do_v magnify_v and_o exalt_v it_o for_o as_o we_o believe_v all_o those_o thing_n to_o have_v be_v certain_o translate_v which_o be_v record_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n concern_v the_o birth_n life_n miracle_n suffering_n resurrection_n and_o ascension_n of_o jesus_n christ_n so_o we_o do_v believe_v that_o it_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o every_o one_o to_o believe_v it_o to_o who_o it_o please_v god_n to_o reveal_v the_o same_o and_o to_o bring_v to_o they_o the_o knowledge_n of_o it_o yea_o we_o believe_v it_o be_v damnable_a unbelief_n not_o to_o believe_v when_o so_o declare_v nevertheless_o as_o we_o do_v firm_o believe_v it_o be_v necessary_a that_o christ_n shall_v come_v that_o by_o his_o death_n and_o suffering_n he_o may_v offer_v up_o himself_o a_o sacrifice_n to_o god_n for_o our_o sin_n who_o his_o own_o self_n bear_v our_o sin_n in_o his_o own_o body_n on_o the_o tree_n so_o we_o believe_v that_o the_o remission_n of_o sin_n which_o any_o partake_v of_o be_v only_o in_o and_o by_o virtue_n of_o that_o most_o satisfactory_a sacrifice_n and_o no_o otherwise_o for_o it_o be_v by_o the_o obedience_n of_o that_o one_o that_o the_o free_a

this_o r._n bridgman_n have_v insinuate_v against_o we_o as_o well_o as_o the_o soundness_n of_o our_o faith_n be_v sufficient_o declare_v i_o shall_v now_o proceed_v and_o be_v more_o brief_a because_o what_o he_o offer_v in_o the_o main_a be_v but_o trifle_a he_o add_v that_o without_o the_o true_a faith_n of_o they_o we_o can_v be_v save_v which_o true_a faith_n he_o acknowledge_v aught_o to_o be_v wrought_v by_o the_o operation_n of_o the_o spirit_n i_o will_v hope_v since_o he_o belteve_v it_o of_o so_o great_a concernment_n he_o will_v take_v care_n for_o one_o or_o else_o notwithstanding_o all_o his_o other_o performance_n and_o go_v to_o church_n he_o be_v like_a to_o remain_v still_o ignorant_a of_o the_o true_a faith_n of_o they_o beside_o how_o can_v he_o be_v full_o assure_v whether_o he_o have_v the_o true_a faith_n of_o they_o wrought_v by_o the_o spirit_n without_o stick_v to_o his_o quaker-principle_n of_o immediate_a revelation_n i_o will_v see_v
