almost_o only_o of_o this_o inward_a light_n in_o which_o i_o perceive_v 1._o that_o you_o false_o intimate_v that_o we_o deny_v the_o necessity_n of_o a_o inward_a light_n when_o as_o we_o maintain_v that_o the_o external_a light_n of_o the_o word_n alone_o be_v not_o sufficient_a without_o the_o inward_a light_n of_o the_o spirit_n 2._o you_o there_o intimate_v to_o we_o a_o suppose_a

you_o mean_v it_o be_v sufficient_a to_o leave_v man_n without_o excuse_n that_o we_o maintain_v as_o well_o as_o you_o or_o be_v every_o man_n light_n sufficient_a to_o his_o salvation_n if_o so_o q._n 2._o be_v it_o sufficient_a before_o christ_n preach_v the_o gospel_n and_o send_v his_o apostle_n or_o be_v it_o now_o sufficient_a to_o all_o that_o never_o hear_v the_o gospel_n if_o so_o be_v

than_o infidel_n because_o we_o be_v not_o infallible_a but_o i_o will_v answer_v you_o and_o your_o master_n together_o in_o a_o word_n 1._o the_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n have_v infallible_a inspiration_n of_o new_a matter_n of_o divine_a verity_n not_o before_o reveal_v because_o they_o be_v to_o be_v god_n penman_n and_o messenger_n of_o such_o new_a revelation_n i_o have_v none_o

the_o church_n be_v infallible_o true_a i_o have_v no_o such_o infallibility_n nor_o your_o grandfather_n the_o pope_n neither_o he_o may_v err_v while_o he_o pretend_v to_o the_o great_a
