in_o the_o light_n which_o let_v thou_o see_v thy_o evil_a deed_n and_o thy_o corrupt_a heart_n the_o light_n which_o have_v light_v every_o man_n that_o come_v into_o the_o world_n be_v eternal_a

to_o thy_o dark_a mind_n this_o may_v be_v and_o be_v demonstrate_v in_o word_n though_o not_o believe_v by_o thou_o for_o thou_o that_o stumble_v at_o the_o light_n be_v a_o unbeliever_n in_o the_o

a_o stumbler_n at_o the_o corner_n stone_n who_o be_v he_o which_o be_v the_o light_n of_o man_n and_o so_o no_o friend_n to_o he_o nor_o to_o his_o gospel_n but_o a_o enemy_n to_o both_o to_o the_o

knowledge_n in_o which_o thou_o also_o corrupt_v thyself_o to_o the_o latter_a part_n of_o thy_o query_n i_o do_v answer_n the_o jesuit_n have_v never_o of_o late_a nor_o of_o former_a day_n lay_v down_o their_o life_n for_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o gospel_n but_o out_o of_o a_o fiery_a zeal_n without_o knowledge_n in_o the_o darkness_n and_o not_o in_o the_o light_n between_o which_o and_o we_o be_v a_o absolute_a opposition_n as_o between_o thou_o and_o we_o who_o be_v both_o in_o one_o ground_n and_o nature_n their_o church_n of_o rome_n and_o the_o church_n of_o england_n so_o call_v which_o be_v not_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n we_o do_v stand_v in_o opposition_n against_o by_o the_o true_a light_n which_o clear_o manifest_v unto_o we_o that_o the_o one_o be_v worship_v a_o

in_o opposition_n to_o the_o true_a light_n which_o remove_v their_o ground_n and_o be_v a_o stumbler_n at_o it_o follow_v thy_o own_o will_n and_o the_o desire_n of_o thy_o own_o mind_n therefore_o friend_n repent_v and_o search_v thy_o own_o heart_n and_o try_v who_o servant_n thou_o be_v by_o the_o light_n which_o will_v show_v thou_o and_o bear_v witness_n for_o the_o righteous_a god_n and_o against_o all_o thy_o ungodly_a way_n and_o word_n this_o light_n be_v in_o thou_o and_o come_v from_o christ_n thy_o way_n to_o salvation_n if_o thou_o love_v it_o but_o thy_o condemnation_n for_o ever_o hate_v it_o this_o will_v resolve_v all_o thy_o doubt_n and_o will_v let_v thou_o see_v from_o whence_o thy_o query_n do_v proceed_v thus_o i_o have_v answer_v they_o and_o do_v expect_v a_o answer_n from_o thou_o of_o these_o follow_v 1_o what_o be_v the_o ground_n in_o which_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n stand_v and_o whether_o it_o be_v remove_v in_o thou_o and_o if_o how_o be_v it_o

to_o it_o but_o by_o that_o time_n thou_o have_v do_v thou_o either_o forget_v what_o to_o answer_v or_o else_o thou_o suppose_v that_o the_o bare_a writing_n of_o it_o down_o be_v sufficient_a for_o i_o query_n whether_o there_o be_v any_o light_n in_o man_n but_o what_o be_v seat_v in_o the_o understanding_n if_o i_o have_v query_v whether_o there_o be_v any_o light_n in_o man_n but_o what_o be_v seat_v in_o the_o heel_n the_o answer_v that_o thou_o give_v be_v as_o satisfactory_a to_o the_o one_o as_o to_o the_o other_o but_o instead_o of_o answer_v thou_o tell_v i_o that_o christ_n lighten_v every_o man_n that_o come_v into_o the_o world_n about_o which_o thou_o and_o i_o differ_v not_o but_o where_o this_o light_n be_v seat_v whether_o in_o the_o understanding_n or_o no_o &_o this_o thou_o may_v have_v see_v if_o thou_o have_v not_o be_v a_o blind_a as_o well_o as_o a_o false_a prophet_n to_o the_o two_o first_o part_n of_o the_o last_o query_n thou_o deal_v as_o to_o all_o the_o rest_n and_o that_o be_v like_a to_o a_o man_n that_o shall_v engage_v to_o meet_v his_o enemy_n in_o the_o field_n shall_v keep_v his_o appoint_a hour_n and_o when_o his_o enemy_n come_v repeat_v the_o quarrel_n and_o then_o run_v away_o so_o thou_o engage_v to_o answer_v my_o query_n the_o which_o thou_o repeast_o and_o then_o run_v away_o from_o give_v a_o answer_n for_o the_o query_n be_v whether_o its_o necessary_a to_o believe_v any_o that_o shall_v say_v they_o have_v in_o they_o something_o above_o nature_n or_o supernatural_a unless_o they_o can_v make_v it_o appear_v that_o they_o have_v in_o they_o something_o that_o can_v be_v find_v in_o a_o natural_a man_n thy_o answer_n be_v that_o it_o be_v necessary_a for_o i_o to_o know_v myself_o and_o then_o like_o one_o far_o more_o fit_a to_o rail_v then_o to_o answer_v accuse_v i_o with_o evil_a deed_n &_o a_o corrupt_a heart_n one_o who_o thou_o never_o see_v or_o so_o much_o as_o hear_v the_o least_o jealousy_n of_o the_o least_o guilt_n of_o the_o least_o crime_n against_o i_o so_o although_o thy_o boasting_n be_v as_o great_a as_o any_o false_a prophet_n yet_o thou_o have_v as_o few_o brain_n as_o the_o least_o of_o they_o howsoever_o thou_o have_v blunder_v up_o a_o answer_n to_o the_o two_o last_o part_n of_o this_o last_o query_n and_o that_o be_v that_o the_o jesuit_n have_v neither_o former_a nor_o latter_a lay_v down_o their_o life_n for_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o gospel_n &_o yet_o thou_o say_v they_o do_v it_o out_o of_o a_o fiery_a zeal_n the_o which_o be_v a_o contradiction_n to_o your_o denial_n for_o zeal_n argue_v they_o do_v believe_v it_o true_a for_o there_o be_v no_o zeal_n but_o what_o be_v ground_v upon_o a_o confidence_n and_o though_o i_o have_v prove_v you_o quake_a

thou_o say_v thou_o be_v opposite_a to_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n yet_o thou_o be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o in_o foundation_n the_o which_o be_v no_o more_o than_o mere_a imagination_n and_o in_o many_o grand_a error_n as_o assume_v a_o infallible_a spirit_n and_o damn_v all_o that_o will_v not_o believe_v you_o as_o they_o likewise_o do_v thus_o have_v prove_v thou_o a_o false_a prophet_n in_o that_o thou_o have_v not_o the_o mark_n character_n and_o sign_n of_o a_o true_a i_o yet_o have_v a_o few_o more_o thing_n against_o thou_o and_o that_o be_v to_o prove_v thou_o have_v the_o

thou_o say_v thus_o i_o have_v answer_v they_o yet_o thou_o have_v answer_v but_o two_o part_n of_o twelve_o the_o three_o be_v a_o branch_n of_o pure_a folly_n for_o you_o say_v that_o i_o have_v a_o dark_a and_o blind_a understanding_n and_o all_o along_o in_o thy_o airy_a whimsy_n conclude_v i_o in_o darkness_n yet_o thou_o send_v three_o query_n to_o i_o for_o information_n or_o else_o thou_o dissemble_v and_o that_o be_v a_o perfect_a mark_n character_n one_fw-mi sign_n thou_o be_v not_o a_o true_a prophet_n the_o four_o branch_n that_o do_v spring_n out_o of_o this_o bitter_a root_n be_v
