36_o 37_o 38._o but_o i_o pray_v you_o if_o a_o hourglass_n be_v unlawful_a tell_v we_o whether_o a_o clock_n be_v lawful_a or_o a_o dial_n or_o a_o watch_n or_o whether_o it_o be_v lawful_a to_o observe_v by_o the_o sun_n how_o the_o time_n pass_v and_o why_o one_o be_v more_o unlawful_a than_o another_o but_o your_o prater_n tell_v i_o it_o be_v a_o limit_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n as_o if_o i_o can_v limit_v myself_o and_o not_o limit_v the_o spirit_n or_o as_o if_o the_o spirit_n exclude_v reason_n and_o prudence_n and_o set_v a_o man_n tongue_n a_o go_v so_o that_o he_o can_v stop_v it_o do_v the_o apostle_n stint_v the_o spirit_n because_o they_o appoint_v their_o meeting_n on_o the_o lord_n day_n and_o do_v not_o stay_v two_o or_o three_o day_n together_o why_o then_o may_v not_o we_o resolve_v upon_o a_o hour_n as_o well_o as_o they_o do_v on_o a_o day_n for_o one_o be_v limit_v as_o well_o as_o the_o other_o i_o think_v if_o i_o have_v your_o spirit_n to_o

be_v cry_v out_o against_o now_o as_o they_o be_v then_o answ._n to_o this_o i_o have_v sufficient_o answer_v already_o to_o your_o brethren_n in_o my_o other_o book_n only_o let_v i_o tell_v you_o 1._o it_o be_v a_o most_o certain_a thing_n that_o god_n allow_v the_o priest_n the_o tithe_n and_o much_o more_o when_o he_o thus_o cry_v out_o against_o they_o dare_v you_o deny_v that_o if_o you_o dare_v not_o confess_v then_o that_o it_o be_v not_o the_o mere_a take_n of_o tyches_n that_o cause_v god_n so_o to_o rebuke_v they_o read_v but_o mal._n 2d_o and_o the_o 3d_o without_o spectacle_n and_o then_o judge_v it_o be_v most_o evident_a then_o that_o the_o thing_n that_o god_n condemn_v be_v not_o take_v tithe_n but_o covetous_a greedy_a desire_n after_o gain_n and_o neglect_v the_o good_a of_o soul_n and_o the_o work_n of_o god_n and_o be_v not_o we_o as_o willing_a to_o cast_v such_o out_o as_o you_o be_v to_o reproach_v they_o whether_o we_o seek_v they_o or_o they_o and_o whether_o we_o be_v not_o willing_a to_o spend_v and_o be_v spend_v for_o the_o salvation_n of_o our_o people_n we_o must_v be_v try_v by_o a_o more_o righteous_a judge_n than_o you_o your_o 23._o qu._n be_v whether_o do_v you_o own_o tremble_a and_o quake_v which_o the_o scripture_n witness_v ans._n i_o own_o the_o fear_n of_o the_o lord_n which_o be_v the_o beginning_n of_o wisdom_n and_o think_v he_o bless_v that_o fear_v always_o and_o that_o he_o that_o harden_v his_o heart_n shall_v fall_v into_o mischief_n but_o i_o think_v that_o the_o great_a quake_a that_o be_v in_o the_o army_n of_o the_o philistine_n be_v no_o virtue_n or_o blessing_n to_o they_o nor_o any_o sign_n of_o god_n among_o they_o 1_o sam._n 14._o 15._o and_o i_o think_v that_o perfect_a love_n co_v out_o fear_n and_o that_o those_o shake_n and_o quake_n that_o come_v not_o from_o the_o humble_a sense_n of_o sin_n or_o judgement_n or_o the_o like_a but_o in_o violent_a motion_n of_o the_o body_n affect_o be_v either_o papistical_a trick_n of_o deceit_n or_o effect_n of_o fantastical_a conceit_n or_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o great_a deceiver_n within_o you_o i_o read_v of_o it_o as_o one_o of_o god_n curse_n that_o the_o lord_n shall_v give_v they_o a_o tremble_a heart_n deut._n 28._o 65._o and_o i_o be_o of_o opinion_n that_o the_o curse_n be_v fall_v upon_o you_o which_o be_v write_v psa._n 69._o 23._o let_v their_o eye_n be_v darken_v that_o they_o see_v not_o and_o make_v their_o loin_n continual_o to_o shake_v god_n kingdom_n be_v righteousness_n peace_n and_o joy_n in_o the_o holy_a ghost_n your_o 24._o and_o last_o qu._n be_v whether_o do_v you_o say_v you_o shall_v be_v free_a from_o the_o body_n of_o sin_n while_o you_o be_v on_o the_o earth_n and_o whether_o shall_v any_o be_v perfect_a yea_o or_o nay_o ans._n i_o believe_v that_o all_o true_a convert_v be_v free_a from_o the_o dominion_n of_o sin_n but_o not_o from_o the_o remnant_n of_o it_o and_o that_o our_o grace_n be_v of_o a_o perfect_a kind_n as_o a_o small_a candle_n be_v of_o a_o perfect_a kind_n of_o fire_n which_o yet_o will_v not_o enlighten_v all_o the_o town_n or_o house_n nor_o scatter_v away_o all_o the_o darkness_n as_o the_o sun_n will_v do_v i_o believe_v also_o that_o in_o the_o instant_n of_o death_n when_o we_o part_v with_o the_o flesh_n we_o part_v with_o all_o the_o remnant_n of_o sin_n and_o for_o the_o doctrine_n of_o personal_a sinless_a perfection_n here_o i_o believe_v the_o devil_n the_o great_a sinner_n breed_v it_o the_o pharisee_n receive_v the_o foretaste_n and_o preparative_n to_o it_o the_o heretic_n and_o papist_n first_o entertain_v and_o cherish_v it_o christ_n detest_v it_o and_o never_o man_n that_o know_v himself_o or_o have_v one_o spark_n of_o true_a grace_n and_o christian_a experience_n do_v to_o this_o day_n hearty_o believe_v it_o of_o himself_o and_o i_o think_v that_o it_o be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o papist_n dung_n which_o they_o have_v teach_v you_o to_o feed_v upon_o christ_n kingdom_n be_v a_o hospital_n he_o have_v no_o subject_n in_o it_o but_o disease_a one_o the_o father_n kingdom_n before_o have_v perfect_a subject_n and_o so_o shall_v it_o have_v again_o when_o christ_n have_v perfect_v we_o for_o when_o he_o have_v perfect_v we_o by_o heal_v all_o our_o disease_n and_o subdue_a all_o our_o enemy_n even_o the_o last_o enemy_n death_n at_o the_o resurrection_n then_o will_v he_o give_v up_o the_o kingdom_n to_o the_o father_n but_o now_o in_o many_o thing_n we_o offend_v all_o jam._n 3._o 2._o and_o there_o be_v no_o man_n on_o earth_n that_o do_v good_a and_o sin_v not_o and_o if_o we_o say_v we_o have_v no_o sin_n we_o deceive_v ourselves_o and_o the_o truth_n be_v not_o in_o we_o therefore_o the_o truth_n be_v not_o in_o you_o quaker_n i_o conclude_v my_o answer_n with_o this_o question_n to_o you_o if_o you_o think_v you_o be_v perfect_a without_o sin_n whether_o do_v you_o also_o think_v that_o you_o be_v already_o in_o heaven_n or_o perfect_a glory_n for_o what_o can_v keep_v the_o soul_n from_o the_o perfect_a enjoyment_n of_o god_n but_o sin_n and_o to_o enjoy_v god_n perfect_o be_v to_o be_v glorify_v perfect_o but_o i_o forget_v that_o your_o brethren_n think_v heaven_n and_o hell_n be_v only_o within_o man_n perhaps_o you_o look_v for_o no_o more_o heaven_n than_o you_o have_v and_o i_o wonder_v not_o at_o it_o for_o if_o you_o do_v in_o the_o way_n you_o be_v in_o you_o be_v no_o more_o likely_a ever_o to_o find_v it_o then_o darkness_n be_v to_o have_v communion_n with_o light_n or_o belial_n with_o christ_n the_o lord_n give_v repentance_n unto_o life_n to_o those_o of_o you_o that_o have_v not_o sin_v unto_o death_n and_o show_v you_o another_o heaven_n before_o you_o be_v out_o of_o reach_n of_o it_o and_o a_o further_a hell_n before_o you_o be_v
