that_o there_o be_v many_o in_o this_o age_n who_o do_v own_o in_o their_o judgement_n many_o part_n of_o truth_n or_o several_a sound_a principle_n of_o religion_n as_o it_o be_v by_o piese-meal_n

do_v at_o this_o time_n only_o vindicate_v truth_n for_o itself_o without_o all_o relation_n to_o the_o uphold_v of_o any_o sect_n whatsoever_o but_o in_o so_o far_o as_o they_o do_v own_o any_o

shall_v i_o speak_v of_o none_o of_o they_o but_o of_o such_o as_o be_v most_o know_v that_o they_o may_v not_o have_v it_o to_o say_v that_o i_o do_v wrest_v their_o word_n and_o do_v belie_v they_o i._o that_o man_n as_o a_o creature_n be_v not_o equal_a with_o god_n but_o as_o he_o be_v join_v to_o the_o lord_n be_v one_o spirit_n with_o he_o this_o be_v the_o doctrine_n of_o geo._n fox_n as_o

answer_v i_o deny_v g._n fox_n he_o be_v dust_n and_o must_v to_o dust_n but_o i_o and_o my_o father_n be_v one_o and_o he_o that_o be_v join_v to_o the_o lord_n be_v one_o spirit_n at_o which_o the_o justice_n be_v satisfy_v that_o he_o speak_v of_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n in_o he_o and_o thereupon_o do_v acquit_v he_o a_o subtle_a answ_n to_o a_o ill_o state_v question_n for_o i_o do_v observe_v in_o it_o much_o of_o the_o depth_n of_o satan_n whereby_o the_o justice_n be_v outwitted_a no_o wonder_n for_o in_o state_v the_o question_n they_o give_v he_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o advantage_n it_o do_v necessary_o imply_v that_o there_o be_v something_o in_o geo._n fox_n which_o be_v increated_a not_o a_o creature_n but_o a_o creator_n otherwise_o to_o what_o purpose_n do_v they_o propound_v the_o question_n thus_o whether_o or_o not_o in_o say_v that_o he_o be_v equal_a with_o god_n do_v he_o speak_v this_o of_o geo._n fox_n as_o he_o be_v a_o creature_n even_o as_o if_o g._n fox_n have_v be_v any_o other_o thing_n then_o a_o creature_n in_o this_o i_o desire_v that_o these_o thing_n may_v be_v observe_v first_o that_o neither_o fox_n nor_o nailer_n do_v deny_v absolute_o that_o geo._n fox_n shall_v say_v that_o he_o be_v equal_a with_o god_n they_o deny_v not_o these_o word_n only_a geo._n fox_n shift_v the_o justice_n with_o his_o sense_n thereof_o as_o be_v abovewritten_v second_o i_o desire_v any_o serious_a sober_a man_n whatsoever_o to_o consider_v and_o i_o leave_v it_o with_o he_o to_o judge_v take_v it_o in_o the_o best_a sense_n if_o any_o man_n can_v call_v these_o the_o word_n of_o truth_n and_o soberness_n for_o geo._n fox_n to_o say_v that_o he_o be_v equal_a with_o god_n i_o appeal_v he_o if_o ever_o any_o scripture-saint_n say_v so_o except_v jesus_n christ_n who_o be_v both_o god_n and_o man._n three_o i_o desire_v george_n fox_n to_o tell_v i_o what_o he_o mean_v by_o that_o viz._n i_o and_o my_o father_n be_v one_o and_o he_o that_o be_v join_v to_o the_o lord_n be_v one_o spirit_n either_o he_o understand_v it_o concern_v a_o substantial_a or_o a_o mystical_a oneness_n betwixt_o god_n and_o man_n if_o a_o substantial_a than_o it_o be_v as_o much_o as_o if_o george_n have_v say_v that_o the_o very_a substance_n and_o essence_n of_o god_n be_v in_o he_o and_o one_o with_o he_o which_o be_v so_o then_o without_o dispute_n there_o be_v something_o increated_a in_o he_o and_o so_o equal_a with_o god_n howsoever_o the_o scripture_n which_o he_o allege_v will_v not_o bear_v he_o out_o therein_o not_o the_o former_a for_o it_o only_o speak_v of_o christ_n i_o and_o my_o father_n be_v one_o john_n 10.30_o in_o which_o chapter_n the_o lord_n christ_n labour_v to_o prove_v his_o equality_n with_o god_n but_o will_v geo._n fox_n make_v application_n of_o that_o scripture_n to_o himself_o he_o do_v so_o by_o compare_v it_o with_o joh._n 17.21_o 23._o now_o take_v notice_n how_o he_o confound_v christ_n onenes_n with_o god_n and_o saint_n onenes_n with_o he_o and_o see_v he_o put_v no_o difference_n betwixt_o they_o but_o make_v application_n of_o that_o same_o very_a scripture_n to_o himself_o whereby_o christ_n assent_v his_o equality_n with_o god_n it_o follow_v by_o inevitable_a consequence_n that_o the_o man_n understand_v saint_n to_o be_v equal_a with_o god_n which_o be_v also_o evident_a from_o his_o own_o confession_n for_o though_o he_o deni_v g._n fox_n as_o a_o creature_n to_o be_v equal_a with_o god_n yet_o he_o do_v not_o deny_v it_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n in_o he_o whereupon_o he_o evade_v the_o justice_n of_o the_o peace_n as_o be_v above-written_a notwithstanding_o that_o yet_o be_v it_o clear_v that_o saint_n onenes_n with_o god_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o like_o the_o husband_n onenes_n with_o the_o wife_n or_o the_o wife_n with_o the_o husband_n as_o be_v most_o evident_a from_o that_o other_o scripture_n 1_o cor._n 6.17_o he_o make_v use_v of_o he_o that_o be_v join_v to_o the_o lord_n be_v one_o spirit_n will_v george_n compare_v this_o with_o the_o latter_a part_n of_o v._o 16._o for_o two_o say_v he_o shall_v be_v one_o flesh_n he_o will_v needs_o alter_v his_o mind_n for_o the_o apostle_n in_o these_o word_n allude_v to_o that_o onenes_n which_o be_v betwixt_o man_n and_o wife_n speak_v of_o gen._n 2.24_o mat._n 19.5_o 6._o mar._n 10.7_o 8._o eph._n 5.26_o and_o so_o compare_v the_o onens_fw-la of_o the_o saint_n with_o god_n in_o respect_n of_o one_o spirit_n with_o that_o onenes_n which_o be_v betwixt_o man_n and_o wife_n but_o who_o can_v say_v that_o the_o onenes_n betwixt_o man_n and_o wife_n be_v substantial_a and_o not_o mystical_a will_v any_o say_v that_o because_o the_o scripture_n do_v call_v they_o one_o even_o one_o flesh_n they_o do_v make_v up_o but_o one_o substance_n be_v it_o not_o evident_a notwithstanding_o this_o onenes_n that_o they_o be_v different_a and_o distinct_a substance_n so_o then_o see_v the_o scripture_n liken_v the_o onenes_n of_o saint_n with_o god_n thereto_o may_v not_o i_o just_o say_v that_o as_o god_n and_o saint_n be_v one_o i_o say_v as_o they_o be_v one_o so_o they_o be_v real_o and_o substantial_o distinct_a one_o from_o another_o and_o that_o the_o substance_n and_o essence_n of_o god_n be_v not_o unite_v to_o the_o creature_n but_o if_o at_o last_o george_n shall_v say_v that_o the_o oneness_n with_o god_n be_v only_o mystical_a and_o virtual_a i._n e._n in_o respect_n of_o god_n act_v and_o work_v in_o saint_n by_o the_o power_n of_o that_o same_o spirit_n that_o be_v in_o himself_o bring_v they_o into_o a_o comformity_n to_o itself_o then_o have_v he_o nothing_o for_o himself_o to_o say_v but_o must_v needs_o in_o every_o respect_n without_o all_o exception_n deny_v himself_o to_o be_v equal_a with_o god_n whether_o he_o consider_v himself_o as_o g._n fox_n or_o as_o sanctify_a by_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n in_o he_o for_o so_o even_o his_o sanctification_n and_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n in_o he_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o create_v thing_n and_o i_o desire_v george_n not_o to_o think_v this_o strange_a doctrine_n for_o do_v not_o the_o scripture_n comprehend_v all_o that_o be_v of_o god_n in_o saint_n under_o the_o notion_n of_o the_o new_a creature_n 2_o cor._n 5.17_o gal._n 6.15_o and_o if_o it_o be_v a_o creature_n then_o be_v it_o not_o increated_a but_o create_v but_o if_o george_n be_v tenacious_a i_o desire_v he_o to_o tell_v i_o what_o of_o god_n what_o of_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n do_v ever_o be_v experience_n beside_o that_o which_o be_v the_o new-creature_n in_o he_o or_o rather_o i_o desire_v he_o to_o show_v i_o where_o
