thy_o brethren_n than_o thou_o be_v at_o present_a sensible_a of_o but_o if_o repentance_n prevent_v not_o in_o time_n thou_o may_v feel_v the_o weight_n in_o thy_o 2._o page_n thou_o say_v that_o thou_o do_v wish_v that_o thomas_n white_a and_o his_o friend_n may_v also_o careful_o walk_v by_o the_o rule_n t.w._n prescribe_v to_o thou_o and_o thy_o friend_n then_o thou_o say_v he_o will_v be_v

in_o thomas_n white_a and_o do_v thou_o judge_v it_o so_o and_o therefore_o say_v that_o thou_o think_v that_o he_o ought_v to_o be_v deep_o humble_v before_o the_o lord_n for_o the_o same_o because_o he_o say_v while_o many_o of_o you_o be_v profess_v pray_v and_o yet_o stumble_v at_o &_o contend_v against_o that_o in_o which_o alone_a all_o worship_n etc._n etc._n be_v accept_v in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n be_v his_o offence_n so_o great_a because_o he_o do_v not_o name_v they_o though_o he_o know_v they_o and_o be_v thy_o offence_n mitigate_v because_o thou_o name_v thomas_n white_a but_o charge_v he_o false_o with_o that_o which_o thou_o can_v not_o prove_v against_o he_o and_o yet_o call_v thy_o say_n a_o plea_n for_o truth_n &_o c_o as_o if_o thy_o title_n to_o thy_o book_n be_v to_o privilege_v thy_o calumny_n and_o authority_n sufficient_a to_o pass_v thy_o reproach_n without_o a_o review_n or_o far_a examination_n but_o thy_o beautiful_a title_n be_v but_o like_o the_o

call_v it_o a_o plea_n for_o truth_n in_o love_n to_o truth_n as_o if_o light_a and_o darkness_n can_v unite_v together_o and_o truth_n and_o falsehood_n marry_v each_o other_o which_o neither_o can_v be_v neither_o shall_v they_o go_v unpunished_a who_o go_v about_o to_o reconcile_v they_o in_o the_o 3._o page_n of_o thy_o book_n thou_o ask_v thomas_n white_a in_o those_o word_n why_o do_v thou_o

be_v come_v until_o then_o take_v heed_n thou_o deal_v not_o with_o his_o ordinance_n as_o thou_o have_v deal_v with_o his_o name_n in_o call_v that_o a_o plea_n for_o truth_n in_o love_n to_o truth_n which_o indeed_o be_v but_o a_o cover_n for_o deceit_n and_o you_o that_o be_v call_v baptist_n above_o some_o other_o make_v it_o manifest_v your_o fellowship_n be_v not_o in_o the_o light_n because_o you_o have_v not_o fellowship_n one_o with_o another_o and_o therefore_o though_o you_o confess_v to_o the_o light_n yet_o i_o may_v say_v thou_o walk_v not_o in_o the_o light_n while_o thou_o imagine_v two_o christ_n one_o to_o be_v the_o very_a life_n and_o light_n and_o the_o other_o to_o be_v a_o light_n unapproachable_a and_o whereas_o thou_o grant_v that_o it_o be_v the_o end_n
