neither_o set_v his_o name_n nor_o two_o letter_n yet_o i_o have_v make_v a_o shift_n to_o send_v a_o answer_n but_o i_o have_v rather_o to_o have_v his_o name_n or_o two_o letter_n as_o i_o have_v of_o w._n s._n the_o second_o thing_n that_o i_o commend_v you_o for_o be_v because_o you_o have_v set_v down_o my_o word_n so_o true_o and_o punctual_o it_o make_v my_o commission_n and_o authority_n to_o shine_v the_o more_o bright_a and_o clear_a to_o all_o those_o that_o understand_v the_o nature_n and_o power_n of_o a_o commission_n though_o you_o in_o the_o close_a of_o many_o of_o those_o passage_n have_v slight_v vilify_v and_o speak_v evil_a of_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v as_o true_a as_o truth_n itself_o and_o that_o you_o shall_v find_v and_o because_o you_o be_v not_o under_o the_o sentence_n of_o this_o commission_n of_o the_o spirit_n by_o verbal_a word_n or_o write_v already_o i_o shall_v give_v answer_n to_o your_o letter_n for_o i_o never_o do_v give_v answer_n in_o

after_o he_o have_v condemn_v a_o man_n to_o die_v for_o to_o treat_v any_o more_o with_o he_o that_o be_v so_o condemn_v neither_o can_v that_o man_n get_v the_o judge_n to_o revoke_v it_o but_o perhaps_o a_o man_n so_o condemn_v by_o the_o law_n may_v make_v suit_n to_o the_o king_n which_o be_v above_o the_o law_n and_o so_o may_v get_v his_o pardon_n but_o that_o be_v seldom_o know_v but_o it_o be_v not_o so_o with_o those_o that_o be_v condemn_v by_o the_o commission_n of_o the_o spirit_n because_o no_o condemn_a person_n can_v make_v his_o appeal_n unto_o god_n the_o king_n of_o heaven_n neither_o by_o himself_o nor_o by_o any_o other_o because_o god_n the_o king_n of_o heaven_n be_v not_o in_o this_o world_n at_o all_o therefore_o he_o have_v commissionated_a mortal_a man_n to_o be_v messenger_n minister_n and_o ambassador_n to_o treat_v with_o mortal_a man_n about_o their_o spiritual_a and_o eternal_a estate_n and_o every_o true_a ambassador_n stand_v in_o god_n stead_n and_o have_v power_n to_o condemn_v and_o to_o save_v alive_a that_o be_v to_o bless_v to_o eternity_n and_o to_o curse_v to_o eternity_n and_o this_o power_n have_v god_n give_v unto_o we_o two_o the_o choose_a witness_n of_o the_o spirit_n neither_o can_v god_n take_v it_o again_o because_o god_n have_v speak_v it_o and_o can_v lie_v for_o he_o say_v these_o word_n that_o he_o have_v choose_v we_o two_o his_o last_o messenger_n unto_o this_o bloody_a unbelieve_a world_n and_o that_o he_o have_v put_v the_o two_o edge_a sword_n of_o his_o spirit_n into_o our_o mouth_n that_o who_o ever_o be_v pronounce_v bless_v through_o our_o mouth_n be_v bless_v to_o eternity_n so_o on_o the_o contrary_a who_o ever_o we_o pronounce_v curse_v through_o our_o mouth_n be_v curse_v to_o eternity_n and_o this_o i_o know_v god_n can_v revoke_v because_o he_o be_v truth_n and_o can_v lie_v therefore_o to_o give_v answer_n to_o those_o despise_v slight_a and_o vilify_a word_n of_o you_o in_o your_o

such_o as_o be_v belove_v bless_a and_o justify_v of_o god_n answer_n that_o my_o commission_n of_o the_o spirit_n be_v no_o pretend_a thing_n but_o as_o true_a as_o ever_o moses_n and_o the_o

set_v up_o myself_o as_o a_o judge_n accuser_n or_o witness_v but_o god_n have_v set_v i_o up_o to_o be_v the_o chief_a judge_n in_o the_o world_n at_o this_o day_n for_o he_o have_v set_v i_o in_o

whatsoever_o therefore_o there_o be_v great_a need_n that_o god_n shall_v make_v some_o mortal_a man_n judge_n of_o these_o conceit_a stubborn-hearted_a people_n call_v quaker_n neither_o be_v those_o people_n the_o belove_a bless_a and_o justify_v of_o god_n but_o the_o most_o cursedst_v of_o god_n of_o all_o other_o sect_n neither_o do_v any_o other_o sect_n fight_v against_o god_n be_v in_o

and_o by_o this_o christ_n which_o be_v flesh_n and_o bone_n glorify_v without_o i_o be_o i_o make_v judge_n of_o man_n spiritual_a estate_n neither_o shall_v any_o one_o that_o i_o have_v condemn_v see_v any_o other_o god_n or_o judge_n but_o that_o sentence_n which_o we_o the_o witness_n of_o the_o spirit_n have_v pass_v upon_o they_o and_o though_o you_o call_v it_o presumption_n and_o a_o

you_o himself_o for_o this_o i_o can_v bold_o say_v that_o i_o be_o as_o true_a a_o ambassador_n of_o god_n and_o judge_n of_o man_n spiritual_a estate_n as_o ever_o any_o be_v since_o the_o

of_o necessity_n it_o will_v follow_v that_o i_o do_v know_v more_o than_o any_o shall_v do_v to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n because_o i_o be_o one_o of_o the_o two_o last_o witness_n and_o
