ready_a to_o make_v good_a when_o we_o have_v debate_v the_o other_o which_o we_o be_v agree_v upon_o as_o appear_v by_o their_o own_o paper_n with_o much_o ado_n he_o be_v persuade_v and_o i_o

christ_n do_v lighten_v true_a believer_n with_o a_o save_a light_n forasmuch_o as_o i_o deny_v not_o but_o do_v affirm_v that_o there_o be_v some_o light_n in_o every_o man_n that_o come_v into_o the_o world_n and_o that_o true_a believer_n be_v light_v with_o a_o save_a light_n but_o that_o which_o i_o have_v undertake_v to_o prove_v by_o the_o scripture_n be_v argum_fw-la that_o christ_n do_v not_o lighten_v every_o man_n that_o come_v into_o the_o world_n with_o a_o save_a light_n my_o first_o argument_n be_v lay_v down_o thus_o christ_n lighten_v no_o man_n with_o a_o save_a light_n but_o by_o his_o spirit_n but_o christ_n do_v not_o give_v his_o spirit_n to_o every_o man_n that_o come_v into_o the_o world_n therefore_o he_o do_v not_o lighten_v every_o man_n that_o come_v into_o the_o world_n with_o a_o save_a light_n the_o first_o proposition_n be_v clear_a from_o the_o great_a promise_v of_o the_o new_a covenant_n isa_n 59_o 21._o as_o for_o i_o this_o be_v my_o covenant_n

the_o spirit_n of_o god_n now_o we_o have_v receive_v not_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o world_n but_o the_o spirit_n which_o be_v of_o god_n that_o we_o may_v know_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v free_o

every_o man_n that_o come_v into_o the_o world_n answer_v but_o here_o john_n stubbs_n begin_v to_o answer_v not_o deny_v either_o proposition_n but_o as_o dislike_n the_o proof_n of_o the_o assumption_n he_o speak_v to_o that_o scripture_n judas_n 19_o and_o say_v those_o that_o have_v not_o the_o spirit_n be_v such_o as_o have_v go_v in_o the_o way_n of_o cain_n who_o have_v not_o

because_o they_o be_v 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d sensual_a or_o natural_a for_o the_o same_o word_n be_v so_o render_v 1_o cor._n 2._o 14._o who_o never_o have_v the_o spirit_n but_o be_v oppose_v

one_o discern_v and_o the_o other_o can_v be_v because_o one_o viz._n the_o spiritual_a man_n have_v receive_v the_o spirit_n the_o other_o viz._n the_o natural_a man_n have_v not_o the_o spirit_n as_o appear_v 1_o cor._n 2._o 10_o 11_o 12._o to_o this_o purpose_n as_o far_o as_o i_o can_v remember_v be_v my_o reply_n and_o now_o notwithstanding_o our_o agreement_n that_o the_o debate_n may_v
