practice_n answer_v these_o general_a reason_n there_o be_v a_o necessity_n why_o their_o liberty_n shall_v be_v grant_v in_o thing_n pertain_v to_o god_n 1._o because_o they_o have_v receive_v christ_n jesus_n in_o the_o appearance_n of_o his_o light_n and_o be_v follower_n of_o his_o light_n in_o his_o own_o way_n and_o by_o the_o light_n they_o be_v restore_v into_o the_o pure_a reason_n wisdom_n and_o understanding_n in_o which_o their_o inward_a man_n stand_v innocent_o before_o god_n and_o their_o outward_a man_n dispose_v in_o righteousness_n as_o in_o the_o beginning_n 2._o because_o the_o light_n of_o christ_n in_o which_o he_o have_v unto_o they_o appear_v and_o be_v their_o principle_n be_v make_v unto_o they_o the_o power_n of_o god_n unto_o salvation_n 3._o because_o the_o light_n of_o christ_n have_v take_v away_o their_o sin_n and_o redeem_v they_o from_o all_o iniquity_n and_o have_v make_v they_o a_o peculiar_a people_n unto_o god_n 4._o because_o the_o light_n of_o christ_n have_v break_v down_o the_o partition_n wall_n of_o sin_n and_o have_v reconcile_v they_o unto_o god_n and_o make_v their_o peace_n 5._o because_o the_o light_n of_o christ_n have_v give_v they_o the_o true_a knowledge_n of_o the_o one_o only_a wise_a god_n unto_o who_o alone_o they_o bow_v and_o he_o only_a worship_n in_o the_o light_n of_o the_o spirit_n which_o they_o have_v receive_v 6._o because_o the_o light_n of_o christ_n have_v manifest_v the_o truth_n in_o their_o heart_n and_o lead_v they_o in_o the_o same_o by_o its_o own_o power_n 7._o because_o the_o light_n of_o christ_n have_v kill_v the_o lust_n and_o strife_n in_o they_o and_o lead_v they_o to_o live_v a_o peaceable_a life_n in_o all_o godliness_n and_o honesty_n 8._o because_o the_o light_n of_o christ_n have_v purge_v out_o deceit_n and_o hypocrisy_n and_o beget_v love_n in_o their_o heart_n that_o they_o can_v render_v evil_a for_o evil_n but_o abide_v in_o the_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n and_o love_v their_o enemy_n 9_o because_o the_o light_n of_o christ_n have_v crucify_v the_o rebellious_a nature_n in_o they_o and_o make_v they_o subject_a to_o his_o own_o will_n and_o thereby_o subject_n they_o unto_o king_n and_o all_o in_o authority_n and_o they_o faithful_o answer_v the_o king_n command_n wherein_o they_o can_v keep_v their_o conscience_n clear_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n and_o what_o for_o conscience_n sake_n they_o can_v answer_v they_o patient_o suffer_v under_o and_o so_o dare_v do_v nothing_o against_o the_o truth_n but_o for_o the_o truth_n and_o walk_v with_o a_o conscience_n void_a of_o offence_n towards_o god_n and_o man_n 10._o because_o the_o light_n of_o christ_n have_v discover_v unto_o they_o the_o many_o false_a way_n and_o error_n and_o the_o great_a danger_n in_o they_o and_o have_v lead_v they_o into_o the_o one_o way_n and_o truth_n in_o which_o they_o have_v true_a peace_n with_o god_n and_o serve_v he_o in_o singleness_n of_o their_o heart_n and_o thus_o have_v christ_n do_v that_o for_o they_o which_o no_o other_o can_v do_v by_o which_o they_o know_v that_o it_o be_v he_o and_o they_o be_v witness_n of_o his_o power_n and_o life_n give_v he_o the_o glory_n over_o all_o who_o be_v worthy_a for_o ever_o now_o as_o it_o be_v evident_a by_o these_o reason_n that_o the_o quaker_n have_v receive_v the_o holy_a and_o true_a principle_n of_o light_n that_o come_v from_o christ_n jesus_n and_o walk_v in_o the_o same_o so_o they_o ought_v to_o have_v that_o liberty_n grant_v they_o into_o which_o christ_n have_v restore_v they_o they_o answer_v in_o

principle_n and_o practice_v those_o thing_n which_o by_o other_o be_v in_o word_n confess_v who_o say_v but_o do_v not_o perform_v which_o show_v that_o they_o be_v in_o the_o weakness_n of_o the_o flesh_n in_o which_o none_o can_v please_v god_n but_o they_o that_o obey_v the_o light_n and_o follow_v it_o they_o do_v those_o thing_n that_o be_v well-pleasing_a in_o his_o sight_n and_o in_o the_o light_n they_o be_v accept_v and_o in_o this_o principle_n and_o practice_v the_o quaker_n have_v fullness_n of_o joy_n and_o peace_n now_o as_o concern_v other_o who_o be_v not_o likeminded_a at_o present_a and_o yet_o in_o their_o conscience_n be_v tender_a towards_o god_n and_o answer_v a_o conscience_n unto_o god_n according_a to_o the_o persuasion_n that_o he_o have_v wrought_v in_o they_o by_o his_o spirit_n that_o they_o may_v not_o be_v suppress_v because_o there_o be_v not_o any_o thing_n which_o be_v beget_v in_o tenderness_n towards_o god_n that_o be_v to_o be_v crush_v bruise_a or_o quench_v by_o force_n or_o violence_n of_o any_o law_n and_o while_o people_n behave_v themselves_o peaceable_o the_o liberty_n of_o their_o conscience_n in_o thing_n pertain_v to_o god_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v deny_v they_o and_o where_o it_o be_v so_o they_o that_o have_v power_n do_v not_o to_o other_o as_o they_o will_v be_v do_v by_o and_o so_o manifest_a that_o they_o be_v
