be_v freeborn_a and_o free_a by_o service_n you_o that_o be_v a_o foreigner_n and_o a_o alien_n one_o that_o be_v by_o act_n of_o parliament_n count_v a_o vagabond_n a_o runagade_n and_o a_o fugitive_n in_o a_o nation_n which_o be_v not_o your_o own_o who_o be_v not_o free_v bear_v nor_o free_a by_o redemption_n yet_o you_o will_v dare_v to_o bring_v i_o upon_o the_o stage_n because_o i_o condemn_v you_o for_o your_o rebellion_n and_o this_o i_o say_v if_o i_o be_v as_o treacherous_a in_o heart_n as_o you_o be_v i_o can_v quick_o cause_v you_o to_o be_v remove_v from_o ware_n if_o not_o out_o of_o england_n but_o i_o shall_v let_v that_o pass_v and_o i_o will_v fain_o know_v how_o you_o will_v force_v i_o to_o let_v you_o see_v the_o answer_n to_o the_o assertion_n or_o to_o bring_v i_o upon_o the_o stage_n you_o may_v do_v what_o you_o will_v now_o i_o shall_v provoke_v you_o to_o it_o but_o here_o you_o may_v see_v the_o pride_n and_o presumption_n against_o your_o own_o soul_n in_o that_o you_o have_v lift_v yourself_o up_o against_o your_o lord_n and_o master_n and_o whereas_o you_o say_v and_o affirm_v that_o i_o be_o fall_v from_o the_o truth_n be_v not_o these_o the_o word_n of_o a_o rebel_n that_o learn_v and_o be_v teach_v the_o way_n of_o truth_n and_o what_o truth_n and_o who_o truth_n be_v by_o i_o nor_o have_v you_o any_o light_n of_o truth_n at_o all_o but_o what_o you_o receive_v from_o i_o your_o lord_n and_o master_n and_o yet_o the_o spirit_n of_o rebellion_n be_v grow_v so_o wise_a to_o judge_v your_o lord_n and_o master_n that_o teach_v you_o to_o be_v fall_v from_o the_o truth_n so_o that_o you_o know_v how_o to_o teach_v your_o master_n better_a than_o he_o can_v teach_v you_o but_o how_o can_v i_o expect_v any_o better_a from_o the_o spirit_n of_o rebellion_n also_o you_o say_v i_o will_v make_v you_o believe_v lie_n who_o make_v you_o a_o judge_n what_o be_v lie_n and_o what_o be_v truth_n you_o say_v i_o go_v about_o to_o overthrow_n john_n reeve_n and_o that_o i_o will_v make_v you_o believe_v many_o lie_n contrary_a to_o all_o the_o prophet_n and_o john_n reeve_n write_n as_o to_o this_o i_o say_v what_o have_v you_o to_o do_v with_o john_n reeve_n write_n now_o he_o be_v dead_a nor_o have_v you_o to_o do_v with_o the_o prophet_n or_o apostle_n write_n they_o be_v all_o give_v into_o my_o hand_n that_o be_o alive_a and_o you_o all_o aught_o to_o be_v teach_v of_o i_o that_o be_o alive_a else_o you_o can_v be_v teach_v of_o god_n and_o whereas_o you_o say_v i_o contradict_v john_n reeve_n to_o this_o i_o say_v i_o have_v power_n so_o to_o do_v and_o i_o have_v power_n to_o do_v so_o in_o some_o thing_n when_o he_o be_v alive_a and_o i_o do_v contradict_v he_o in_o some_o thing_n when_o he_o be_v alive_a and_o john_n reeve_n do_v write_v some_o thing_n be_v error_n to_o i_o and_o error_n in_o themselves_o for_o which_o i_o do_v oppose_v he_o to_o his_o face_n and_o he_o can_v not_o deny_v it_o yet_o notwithstanding_o john_n reeve_n be_v infallible_a and_o do_v write_v by_o a_o unerring_a spirit_n this_o will_v seem_v a_o riddle_n unless_o it_o be_v unfold_v then_o thus_o as_o to_o the_o doctrinal_a part_n contain_v in_o our_o write_n the_o six_o principle_n they_o be_v write_v by_o a_o unerring_a and_o infallible_a spirit_n in_o john_n reeve_n and_o the_o interpretation_n of_o scripture_n write_v by_o he_o be_v infallible_a but_o john_n reeve_n experience_n judgement_n and_o apprehension_n of_o god_n immediate_a take_v notice_n of_o every_o man_n be_v error_n and_o that_o god_n do_v supply_v every_o man_n and_o woman_n immediate_o from_o his_o own_o person_n be_v error_n in_o john_n reeve_n judgement_n and_o appearance_n as_o i_o do_v prove_v to_o his_o face_n but_o the_o thing_n be_v write_v before_o our_o discourse_n and_o consider_v they_o be_v of_o no_o great_a consequence_n to_o eternal_a happiness_n they_o be_v let_v pass_v beside_o none_o can_v judge_v of_o a_o prophet_n write_v but_o he_o that_o be_v equal_a in_o power_n with_o he_o i_o be_v choose_v of_o god_n have_v power_n to_o contradict_v he_o in_o his_o judgement_n though_o it_o be_v error_n it_o will_v have_v be_v rebellion_n in_o any_o to_o do_v as_o i_o do_v and_o now_o i_o be_v the_o last_o liver_n it_o be_v rebellion_n in_o you_o to_o call_v any_o thing_n lie_v and_o error_n that_o i_o do_v justify_v to_o be_v true_a for_o no_o man_n be_v to_o call_v i_o to_o account_n as_o to_o resist_v my_o judgement_n in_o spiritual_a matter_n but_o god_n only_o and_o i_o be_o sure_a he_o have_v and_o will_v justify_v i_o in_o what_o i_o have_v do_v and_o in_o what_o i_o do_v of_o this_o nature_n beside_o where_o man_n be_v choose_v equal_a in_o power_n they_o may_v contradict_v one_o another_o in_o some_o thing_n and_o yet_o both_o infallible_a man_n in_o doctrine_n though_o not_o in_o judgement_n and_o practice_n as_o for_o example_n peter_n be_v a_o infallible_a man_n and_o do_v write_v by_o a_o infallible_a and_o unerring_a spirit_n as_o to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n yet_o he_o err_v in_o his_o judgement_n and_o practice_n and_o give_v way_n to_o circumcise_v titus_n gal._n 2_o 3._o who_o be_v a_o greek_a contrary_a to_o his_o commission_n from_o christ_n and_o it_o be_v unlawful_a and_o a_o great_a error_n in_o peter_n for_o which_o cause_n paul_n a_o apostle_n be_v equal_a in_o power_n withstand_v peter_n to_o his_o face_n and_o reprove_v he_o sharp_o of_o error_n and_o dissimulation_n now_o shall_v any_o believer_n of_o peter_n doctrine_n have_v say_v to_o peter_n thou_o be_v a_o liar_n and_o no_o true_a apostle_n and_o have_v not_o a_o infallible_a spirit_n but_o be_v in_o a_o error_n if_o this_o shall_v have_v be_v speak_v by_o any_o private_a believer_n as_o it_o be_v by_o paul_n who_o be_v equal_a in_o power_n i_o will_v not_o have_v be_v in_o that_o believer_n condition_n for_o all_o the_o world_n again_o do_v not_o paul_n write_v by_o a_o infalliable_a spirit_n as_o to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n death_n resurrection_n and_o ascension_n peter_n and_o he_o do_v agree_v in_o that_o but_o paul_n commit_v a_o error_n in_o his_o judgement_n and_o practice_n as_o well_o as_o peter_n when_o he_o pretend_v a_o vow_n and_o shave_v the_o head_n of_o four_o greek_n which_o be_v unlawful_a for_o he_o to_o do_v it_o be_v error_n and_o dissimulation_n in_o he_o yet_o no_o private_a believer_n dare_v reprove_v he_o for_o it_o though_o it_o be_v a_o great_a error_n in_o his_o judgement_n and_o practice_n and_o have_v like_v to_o cost_v he_o his_o life_n yet_o shall_v any_o dare_v to_o say_v he_o write_v his_o epistle_n by_o a_o err_a lie_a spirit_n so_o likewise_o paul_n and_o james_n two_o apostle_n equal_a in_o power_n do_v contradict_v one_o another_o in_o judgement_n for_o paul_n rom._n 3.28_o say_v therefore_o we_o conclude_v that_o a_o man_n be_v justify_v by_o faith_n without_o the_o deed_n of_o the_o law_n and_o james_n 2_o 24._o say_v you_o see_v then_o by_o work_v a_o man_n be_v justify_v and_o not_o by_o faith_n only_o here_o be_v quite_o a_o contradiction_n to_o paul_n judgement_n and_o shall_v any_o believe_v in_o their_o time_n dare_v to_o say_v that_o either_o of_o these_o write_v error_n or_o lie_n or_o that_o they_o be_v not_o infallible_a man_n in_o their_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n because_o they_o differ_v in_o point_n of_o faith_n and_o work_n this_o be_v much_o like_o john_n reeve_n believe_v that_o god_n do_v take_v notice_n of_o every_o particular_a man_n and_o my_o judgement_n that_o god_n do_v not_o take_v notice_n of_o every_o particular_a man._n now_o shall_v any_o dare_v to_o say_v that_o either_o of_o we_o be_v liar_n because_o we_o differ_v in_o judgement_n in_o some_o thing_n beside_o it_o be_v a_o common_a thing_n in_o scripture_n for_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n to_o differ_v in_o judgement_n and_o practice_n but_o not_o in_o doctrine_n as_o the_o four_o evangelist_n contradict_v one_o another_o very_o oft_o and_o the_o word_n of_o christ_n himself_o contradict_v one_o another_o in_o several_a place_n which_o will_v be_v too_o tedious_a to_o name_v now_o because_o christ_n word_n do_v contradict_v one_o another_o in_o some_o place_n shall_v any_o dare_v to_o say_v he_o speak_v lie_n and_o teach_v error_n and_o that_o which_o he_o speak_v be_v contrary_a to_o all_o truth_n or_o that_o he_o be_v not_o a_o true_a christ_n none_o but_o devil_n do_v say_v so_o when_o he_o be_v upon_o earth_n and_o shall_v any_o in_o the_o apostle_n matthew_n mark_n luke_n and_o john_n time_n dare_v to_o say_v that_o any_o of_o they_o write_v lie_n or_o error_n because_o
