A86648	The common salvation contended for, and the faith which was once delivered to the saints· Or, An answer to a book called a plain answer to eighteen queries of Iohn Whitehead, put forth by William Kays, who calls himself minister of the Gospel at Stokesly; wherein he hath perverted the faith once delivered to the saints, and pleads for those things which the Scripture declares against, and so he is made manifest, not to be a minister of the everlasting Gospel, but preachesanother [sic] Gospel. The queries laid down, and the substance of his answer, with a reply to his answer. / By one who is a friend to all, who wait for the appearance of Iesus Christ without sin to salvation, known to the world by the name.

he_o which_o be_v fall_v from_o the_o birth-born_a of_o god_n be_v exhort_v to_o repent_v and_o thou_o say_v he_o that_o be_v bear_v of_o god_n may_v be_v delude_v and_o the_o scripture_n say_v it_o be_v not_o possible_a that_o the_o elect_a shall_v be_v deceive_v and_o here_o again_o thou_o speak_v contrary_a to_o the_o scripture_n and_o thou_o say_v affirmative_o that_o those_o that_o be_v bear_v of_o god_n may_v sin_v and_o here_o again_o thou_o speak_v contrary_a to_o the_o scripture_n which_o say_v he_o that_o be_v bear_v of_o god_n can_v sin_v now_o let_v shame_n cover_v thy_o face_n and_o let_v thy_o own_o conscience_n convince_v thou_o that_o thou_o be_v a_o perverter_n of_o the_o scripture_n to_o thy_o own_o destruction_n and_o so_o be_v unlearned_a and_o without_o

take_v good_a notice_n the_o truth_n be_v easy_o reconci●ed_v and_o thou_o say_v this_o be_v his_o meaning_n that_o the_o child_n of_o god_n sin_v not_o after_o the_o similitude_n manner_n or_o measure_n or_o nature_n that_o the_o devil_n and_o his_o reprobate_n sin_n and_o so_o to_o make_v good_a what_o thou_o say_v thou_o have_v add_v to_o john_n word_n his_o seed_n remain_v in_o he_o whereby_o he_o shall_v repent_v he_o of_o his_o sin_n this_o last_o thou_o have_v deceitful_o add_v as_o also_o have_v add_v after_o the_o similitude_n manner_n or_o measure_n or_o nature_n that_o the_o devil_n and_o his_o reprobate_n sin_n let_v all_o seareh_fw-mi the_o scripture_n and_o see_v if_o john_n speak_v any_o such_o thing_n and_o so_o give_v thy_o sensual_a meaning_n of_o john_n

god_n which_o know_v god_n may_v sin_v and_o so_o divide_v the_o scripture_n and_o add_v thy_o own_o imagination_n unto_o it_o and_o so_o thou_o may_v read_v thy_o portion_n in_o it_o god_n will_v

pharisee_n a_o child_n of_o god_n need_v no_o repentance_n and_o all_o sin_n be_v of_o and_o like_o the_o devil_n his_o image_n the_o scripture_n say_v he_o that_o sin_n be_v of_o the_o devil_n thou_o say_v contrary_a and_o speak_v of_o sin_n not_o to_o be_v like_o the_o devil_n and_o here_o again_o art_n speak_v contrary_a to_o the_o scripture_n and_o further_o thou_o say_v thou_o do_v say_v that_o the_o child_n of_o god_n as_o he_o

thou_o lie_v in_o confusion_n and_o babylon_n and_o put_v the_o letter_n for_o the_o light_n of_o christ_n and_o so_o be_v blind_a indeed_o as_o thou_o confess_v thy_o eye_n be_v not_o open_v and_o thou_o be_v not_o turn_v from_o darkness_n and_o thou_o say_v christ_n light_n when_o it_o be_v reveal_v be_v sufficient_a the_o light_n which_o christ_n jesus_n have_v enlighten_v every_o one_o withal_o be_v make_v manifest_a and_o convince_v of_o all_o ungodliness_n and_o worldly_a lust_n yea_o he_o which_o be_v the_o comforter_n convince_v the_o world_n of_o sin_n as_o the_o scripture_n

this_o be_v the_o condemnation_n of_o they_o that_o hate_v it_o and_o that_o which_o declare_v against_o unrighteousness_n be_v righteous_a and_o that_o which_o show_v sin_n be_v holy_a and_o thou_o that_o call_v this_o natural_a thy_o eye_n be_v blind_a and_o thy_o understanding_n be_v darken_v and_o thy_o ear_n heavy_a and_o so_o can_v neither_o hear_v see_v not_o understand_v it_o now_o the_o natural_a man_n understand_v not_o the_o thing_n of_o god_n but_o the_o light_n of_o christ_n in_o every_o man_n conscience_n understand_v by_o it_o what_o be_v not_o of_o god_n and_o by_o it_o he_o come_v to_o see_v sin_n that_o it_o be_v against_o god_n and_o therefore_o i_o be_o a_o witness_n against_o thou_o and_o against_o all_o the_o hireling_n in_o the_o world_n that_o by_o the_o light_n which_o a_o measure_n be_v give_v to_o every_o one_o that_o he_o that_o love_v it_o it_o lead_v to_o the_o the_o light_n of_o life_n and_o though_o the_o light_n shine_v in_o a_o natural_a man_n yet_o
