who_o get_v not_o this_o grace_n but_o in_o place_n of_o it_o get_v misery_n so_o in_o the_o threescore_o chapter_n of_o esay_n and_o the_o twelve_o verse_n he_o say_v the_o lord_n shall_v rise_v up_o

one_o contrary_n will_v make_v another_o the_o better_a to_o be_v know_v brethren_n we_o see_v this_o all_o the_o adversary_n use_v this_o argument_n against_o we_o your_o church_fw-mi be_v contract_v

it_o be_v better_a to_o have_v the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n without_o christ_n bodily_a presence_n than_o to_o have_v the_o presence_n of_o christ_n not_o teach_v thou_o inwardlie_o by_o the_o

who_o believe_v not_o into_o he_o that_o they_o see_v he_o and_o hear_v he_o it_o have_v be_v better_a that_o they_o have_v never_o know_v he_o it_o be_v not_o the_o voice_n that_o do_v the_o turn_n but_o the_o powerful_a work_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n the_o holy_a spirit_n reform_v the_o mind_n if_o the_o voice_n of_o christ_n be_v sound_v among_o you_o this_o day_n as_o sweet_a as_o it_o be_v it_o will_v do_v you_o no_o good_a without_o the_o spirit_n therefore_o take_v not_o so_o much_o heed_n to_o the_o man_n who_o teach_v outward_o as_o to_o the_o spirit_n and_o as_o you_o will_v

the_o true_a spirit_n can_v teach_v nothing_o but_o the_o truth_n if_o a_o man_n or_o woman_n therefore_o will_v be_v instruct_v by_o that_o spirit_n of_o truth_n and_o will_v be_v lead_v into_o all_o

without_o he_o know_v he_o be_v true_a even_o so_o if_o this_o opinion_n be_v not_o settle_v into_o thy_o heart_n that_o he_o be_v true_a thou_o will_v never_o believe_v the_o scripture_n of_o god_n to_o go_v to_o a_o high_a ground_n if_o one_o will_v be_v instruct_v in_o the_o truth_n by_o the_o spirit_n he_o must_v have_v a_o love_n to_o the_o verity_n and_o desire_v to_o know_v the_o verity_n where_o there_o be_v no_o love_n of_o the_o truth_n there_o must_v be_v a_o hatred_n of_o the_o truth_n he_o who_o be_v not_o with_o i_o be_v against_o i_o and_o where_o the_o devil_n find_v such_o
