not_o belie_v or_o abuse_v the_o quaker_n if_o he_o do_v let_v he_o be_v account_v the_o great_a defamer_n upon_o earth_n etc._n etc._n but_o that_o they_o the_o quaker_n do_v not_o understand_v it_o

doctrine_n in_o the_o point_v controvert_v and_o thither_o i_o refer_v the_o ingenious_a reader_n for_o a_o more_o full_a and_o ample_a satisfaction_n but_o since_o that_o book_n be_v large_a and_o this_o be_v part_n of_o our_o present_a controversy_n in_o pursue_v this_o hammerer_n i_o shall_v free_o declare_v first_o negative_o that_o by_o the_o light_n we_o never_o understand_v it_o to_o be_v conscience_n since_o conscience_n be_v liable_a to_o be_v corrupt_v and_o harden_v as_o say_v the_o apostle_n but_o this_o principle_n of_o divine_a light_n be_v not_o obnoxious_a to_o any_o alteration_n or_o change_n from_o its_o own_o pure_a and_o holy_a nature_n to_o any_o degree_n of_o corruption_n whatsoever_o nor_o be_v it_o natural_a reason_n for_o there_o be_v a_o apparent_a depravity_n come_v thereupon_o but_o second_o i_o declare_v positive_o that_o by_o the_o light_n we_o understand_v a_o glorious_a beam_n or_o ray_n proceed_v from_o christ_n the_o fountain_n of_o light_n display_v itself_o into_o our_o soul_n for_o the_o enlighten_v of_o our_o understanding_n and_o to_o put_v we_o in_o a_o capacity_n to_o distinguish_v between_o object_n and_o object_n for_o as_o a_o blind_a man_n can_v discern_v the_o difference_n in_o colour_n for_o want_n of_o his_o sight_n so_o all_o man_n in_o their_o natural_a estate_n be_v in_o as_o great_a a_o degree_n of_o spiritual_a blindness_n until_o by_o this_o light_n they_o be_v in_o a_o degree_n enlighten_v hence_o it_o be_v that_o all_o be_v call_v child_n of_o wrath_n and_o that_o there_o be_v none_o that_o do_v good_a no_o not_o one_o nor_o can_v it_o be_v otherwise_o for_o although_o custom_n and_o tradition_n may_v influence_n man_n to_o do_v what_o they_o think_v they_o ought_v to_o do_v and_o deter_v they_o from_o what_o they_o have_v be_v teach_v to_o avoid_v yet_o till_o by_o a_o degree_n more_o or_o less_o of_o this_o light_n they_o be_v enlighten_v it_o be_v a_o blind_a zeal_n and_o will-worship_n which_o be_v not_o at_o all_o acceptable_a to_o god_n but_o be_v iniquity_n as_o be_v the_o plough_v of_o the_o wicked_a though_o otherwise_o in_o itself_o a_o inoffensive_a exercise_n so_o that_o the_o sight_n and_o knowledge_n of_o what_o make_v for_o man_n everlasting_a happiness_n depend_v upon_o this_o divine_a light_n for_o without_o it_o we_o have_v no_o sight_n and_o consequent_o no_o spiritual_a knowledge_n since_o man_n natural_a reason_n be_v so_o deprave_a that_o he_o can_v no_o more_o search_n into_o and_o behold_v the_o glorious_a thing_n that_o relate_v to_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n and_o his_o immortal_a state_n they_o be_v too_o sublime_a for_o he_o than_o it_o be_v possible_a for_o a_o man_n to_o look_v into_o and_o search_v out_o the_o matter_n and_o nature_n of_o the_o sun_n with_o his_o bodily_a eye_n which_o if_o he_o attempt_v be_v soon_o convince_v of_o his_o folly_n by_o be_v blind_v by_o the_o inaccessible_a transcend_a glory_n and_o light_n thereof_o so_o that_o as_o the_o apostle_n say_v 1_o cor._n 2._o 11._o for_o what_o man_n know_v the_o thing_n of_o a_o man_n save_v the_o spirit_n of_o a_o man_n that_o be_v in_o he_o even_o so_o the_o thing_n of_o god_n know_v no_o man_n but_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n and_o in_o verse_n 14._o but_o the_o natural_a man_n receive_v not_o the_o thing_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n for_o they_o be_v foolishness_n unto_o he_o neither_o can_v he_o know_v they_o because_o they_o be_v spiritual_o discern_v i_o say_v then_o since_o man_n in_o his_o natural_a estate_n be_v not_o able_a to_o know_v the_o thing_n of_o god_n it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o he_o must_v if_o ever_o he_o know_v they_o come_v to_o it_o by_o the_o help_n not_o of_o a_o natural_a but_o divine_a light_n and_o such_o a_o divine_a light_n god_n who_o be_v in_o christ_n reconcile_a the_o world_n to_o himself_o the_o father_n of_o light_n have_v send_v his_o son_n the_o light_n of_o the_o world_n to_o bless_v
