A30542	Some of the principles of the Quakers (scornfully so called by men) vindicated and proved sound and true and according to the Scriptures in oposition to the false charges and lying reports given forth against the truth in two printed books put forth by one Philip Taverner, a supposed minister of the Gospel in Middlesex near Vxbridge ... / by Edw.

all_o opposer_n that_o the_o saint_n may_v wait_v for_o and_o witness_v upon_o earth_n to_o have_v power_n over_o sin_n and_o over_o its_o temptation_n and_o free_a from_o the_o commit_n of_o sin_n by_o the_o power_n of_o the_o second_o adam_n live_v and_o dwell_v in_o they_o and_o thus_o must_v thou_o believe_v p._n t._n or_o else_o thou_o believe_v not_o scripture_n nor_o that_o any_o be_v bear_v of_o god_n or_o abide_v in_o christ_n if_o thou_o believe_v not_o that_o then_o confess_v thou_o err_v in_o judgement_n who_o be_v unbelieve_v of_o what_o the_o scripture_n bear_v witness_n of_o therefore_o tell_v i_o plain_o if_o thou_o believe_v that_o there_o be_v any_o that_o be_v bear_v of_o god_n and_o abide_v in_o christ_n then_o must_v thou_o believe_v such_o do_v not_o commit_v sin_n else_o thou_o deny_v the_o scripture_n and_o what_o i_o hold_v forth_o herein_o i_o do_v not_o contradict_v the_o apostle_n nor_o solomon_n word_n for_o its_o true_a the_o apostle_n say_v if_o we_o say_v we_o have_v no_o sin_n we_o deceive_v ourselves_o but_o be_v thou_o so_o blind_a that_o thou_o do_v not_o see_v he_o speak_v there_o of_o a_o state_n before_o confession_n of_o sin_n and_o the_o next_o word_n say_v the_o apostle_n if_o we_o confess_v our_o sin_n he_o be_v faithful_a and_o just_a to_o forgive_v we_o our_o sin_n and_o to_o cleanse_v we_o from_o all_o unrighteousness_n so_o i_o do_v agree_v with_o the_o apostle_n word_n and_o do_v not_o contradict_v they_o for_o i_o do_v say_v if_o any_o say_v they_o have_v no_o sin_n before_o they_o do_v confess_v their_o sin_n and_o forsake_v their_o sin_n and_o be_v cleanse_v from_o it_o i_o say_v they_o be_v liar_n and_o the_o truth_n not_o in_o they_o and_o i_o also_o say_v if_o that_o after_o a_o man_n have_v confess_v his_o sin_n and_o be_v cleanse_v from_o it_o and_o have_v his_o sin_n forgive_v he_o and_o witness_v that_o he_o be_v bear_v of_o god_n and_o do_v not_o commit_v sin_n i_o say_v he_o speak_v the_o truth_n also_o and_o the_o truth_n be_v in_o he_o and_o though_o solomon_n do_v say_v there_o be_v not_o a_o just_a man_n upon_o earth_n that_o do_v good_a and_o sin_n not_o yet_o be_v my_o affirmation_n true_a notwithstanding_o for_o solomon_n forget_v the_o lord_n and_o his_o heart_n go_v after_o many_o strange_a woman_n and_o become_v a_o transgressor_n and_o in_o that_o state_n do_v not_o know_v the_o birth_n bear_v of_o god_n which_o do_v not_o commit_v sin_n for_o he_o be_v but_o under_o the_o administration_n of_o the_o law_n which_o do_v not_o make_v perfect_a as_o pertain_v to_o the_o conscience_n and_o paradventure_o in_o that_o state_n he_o be_v err_v from_o god_n he_o do_v not_o see_v any_o that_o do_v not_o sin_n these_o thing_n will_v be_v plain_a to_o some_o though_o perhaps_o thou_o may_v shut_v thy_o eye_n against_o they_o and_o solomon_n be_v not_o our_o example_n in_o conversation_n i_o be_o sure_a nor_o hardly_o in_o doctrine_n and_o thus_o i_o have_v weigh_v thy_o text_n which_o thou_o seem_v to_o say_v before_o i_o have_v not_o weigh_v and_o my_o principle_n be_v prove_v sound_a and_o thou_o and_o thou_o too_o light_a and_o the_o wind_n of_o the_o lord_n will_v scatter_v they_o and_o p._n t._n confess_v every_o real_a hearted_a christian_n may_v be_v and_o be_v in_o scripture_n call_v perfect_a reply_n then_o wherefore_o do_v he_o oppose_v i_o who_o testify_v the_o same_o thing_n and_o he_o now_o confess_v even_o that_o every_o real_a hearted_a christian_n may_v be_v and_o be_v call_v perfect_a in_o scripture_n and_o be_v not_o he_o here_o guilty_a in_o that_o he_o charge_v i_o false_o pag._n the_o 21._o of_o his_o last_o with_o go_v round_n like_o unto_o a_o horse_n in_o a_o mill_n who_o sometime_o deny_v perfection_n and_o sometime_o confess_v it_o to_o be_v attain_v in_o this_o life_n but_o he_o be_v force_v in_o the_o end_n to_o confess_v to_o the_o truth_n and_o to_o justify_v i_o and_o also_o the_o scripture_n do_v testify_v the_o saint_n be_v already_o perfect_a and_o complete_a in_o christ_n while_o they_o be_v in_o the_o life_n upon_o earth_n col._n 1._o though_o there_o be_v a_o time_n wherein_o all_o the_o saint_n do_v complain_v of_o the_o body_n of_o sin_n in_o their_o warfare_n and_o travel_v yet_o there_o be_v a_o state_n also_o wherein_o they_o have_v put_v off_o the_o body_n of_o sin_n and_o be_v the_o servant_n of_o righteousness_n and_o free_a from_o sin_n rom_n 6.22_o but_o p._n t._n show_v little_a experience_n in_o those_o state_n as_o of_o the_o travel_n under_o the_o body_n of_o death_n and_o also_o the_o victory_n over_o it_o and_o so_o what_o he_o speak_v be_v but_o by_o guess_n from_o other_o man_n word_n and_o then_o it_o be_v no_o marvel_n if_o he_o err_v in_o judgement_n ●nd_v

it_o yea_o even_o in_o this_o life_n upon_o earth_n and_o whereas_o i_o say_v in_o my_o last_o many_o of_o the_o saint_n daily_o receive_v more_o and_o more_o of_o god_n wisdom_n and_o of_o his_o

many_o of_o the_o saint_n etc._n etc._n reply_n my_o first_o word_n it_o seem_v he_o can_v contradict_v but_o own_v they_o to_o be_v true_a so_o i_o need_v not_o defend_v they_o only_o he_o suppose_v
