but_o he_o may_v blame_v the_o light_n within_o for_o if_o the_o light_n within_o be_v faithful_a to_o god_n and_o the_o soul_n it_o will_v not_o suffer_v any_o man_n to_o live_v in_o sin_n and_o

that_o give_v understanding_n for_o we_o can_v think_v a_o good_a thought_n of_o ourselves_o much_o less_o do_v a_o good_a deed_n for_o it_o be_v the_o lord_n that_o work_v in_o we_o both_o to_o

wicked_a man_n to_o the_o insufficiency_n of_o the_o light_n within_o as_o john_n cheyney_n have_v do_v compare_v it_o to_o a_o negligent_a drunken_a coach_n man_n who_o sleep_v and_o the_o horse_n run_v wood_n or_o he_o drive_v into_o pit_n and_o bog_n so_o say_v he_o the_o light_z within_z takes_z part_n with_o the_o flesh_n and_o satan_n against_o god_n and_o suffer_v the_o soul_n to_o be_v sensual_a worldly_a and_o ungodly_a and_o so_o be_v at_o least_o the_o permissive_a cause_n of_o the_o sinner_n sin_n and_o damnation_n this_o i_o do_v affirm_v be_v contrary_a to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n for_o their_o doctrine_n be_v to_o turn_v people_n from_o darkness_n to_o light_n from_o the_o power_n of_o satan_n to_o the_o power_n of_o god_n act_v 26.18_o in_o he_o be_v life_n and_o the_o life_n be_v the_o light_n of_o man_n john_n 1.4_o and_o this_o be_v the_o true_a light_n that_o john_n bear_v record_v of_o that_o light_v every_o man_n that_o come_v into_o the_o world_n john_n 1.9_o and_o it_o be_v in_o this_o light_n that_o we_o believe_v by_o which_o we_o be_v certain_o persuade_v that_o there_o be_v no_o salvation_n nor_o redemption_n from_o sin_n but_o by_o he_o who_o be_v say_v to_o be_v the_o true_a light_n that_o light_v every_o man_n that_o come_v into_o the_o world_n which_o do_v reprove_v in_o secret_a when_o no_o eye_n see_v as_o it_o be_v write_v all_o thing_n that_o be_v reprove_v be_v make_v manifest_a by_o the_o light_n for_o whatsoever_o do_v make_v manifest_a be_v light_a ephes_n 5.13_o and_o if_o we_o walk_v in_o the_o

god_n who_o command_v light_a to_o shine_v out_o of_o darkness_n have_v shine_v in_o our_o heart_n to_o give_v we_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n in_o the_o face_n of_o jesus_n christ_n so_o that_o we_o dare_v not_o blame_v the_o light_n of_o christ_n within_o if_o man_n through_o their_o rebellion_n bring_v destruction_n upon_o themselves_o the_o light_n be_v their_o condemnation_n john_n 3.19_o but_o if_o the_o light_n within_o which_o shall_v be_v man_n guide_n be_v so_o unfaithful_a both_o to_o god_n and_o man_n as_o through_o its_o negligence_n and_o
