desire_v to_o hear_v mr._n walker_n dispute_v upon_o his_o question_n which_o when_o mr._n smith_n seem_v loath_a to_o yield_v unto_o as_o be_v weary_a already_o mr._n walker_n desire_v that_o he_o

the_o scripture_n mr._n smith_n this_o be_v a_o error_n of_o ignorance_n or_o forgetfulness_n for_o want_v of_o instruction_n and_o exercise_n in_o the_o word_n which_o succeed_a church_n have_v more_o abundant_o mr._n walker_n you_o cavil_v against_o common_a sense_n for_o i_o dispute_v not_o whence_o this_o error_n proceed_v but_o whether_o they_o err_v in_o that_o main_a point_n of_o the_o

instruct_v they_o in_o the_o scripture_n and_o from_o his_o own_o mouth_n it_o can_v not_o be_v for_o want_v of_o instruction_n that_o they_o err_v but_o this_o error_n proceed_v from_o incredulity_n

because_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v not_o yet_o come_v down_o nor_o the_o evangelicall_a law_n reveal_v mr._n walker_n upon_o this_o mr._n walker_n first_o speak_v to_o the_o waver_a gentleman_n and_o

be_v a_o base_a shift_n to_o say_v that_o the_o come_n down_o of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n make_v they_o a_o church_n for_o his_o extraordinary_a gift_n come_v not_o to_o make_v they_o christian_n and_o

this_o will_v not_o convince_v you_o let_v we_o know_v who_o be_v the_o church_n in_o those_o day_n if_o the_o apostle_n be_v not_o peter_n have_v receive_v that_o commission_n and_o promise_n long_o before_o upon_o which_o you_o build_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n if_o it_o be_v not_o then_o able_a to_o make_v he_o of_o the_o church_n how_o can_v it_o now_o uphold_v your_o church_n against_o all_o the_o gate_n of_o hell_n now_o then_o to_o conclude_v i_o beseech_v you_o as_o you_o love_v your_o soul_n take_v heed_n of_o sin_v against_o your_o own_o conscience_n and_o of_o rebel_n against_o the_o light_n you_o know_v that_o the_o apostle_n be_v elect_v from_o all_o eternity_n they_o be_v effectual_o call_v by_o christ_n himself_o not_o only_o to_o believe_v and_o to_o be_v christian_n and_o open_a professor_n but_o also_o to_o be_v apostle_n and_o preacher_n and_o by_o the_o gospel_n preach_v and_o miracle_n wrought_v they_o have_v convert_v many_o to_o the_o faith_n as_o the_o
