he_o mention_n here_o and_o especial_o that_o about_o call_v for_o sign_n and_o miracle_n i_o have_v already_o answer_v he_o above_o and_o here_o i_o will_v have_v he_o to_o consider_v how_o christ_n

we_o that_o he_o may_v believe_v we_o to_o be_v true_o inspire_v will_v he_o then_o in_o good_a earnest_n believe_v we_o to_o be_v divine_o inspire_v have_v he_o not_o call_v the_o very_a principle_n a_o blasphemous_a doctrine_n and_o whereas_o he_o say_v pag._n 38._o he_o deny_v not_o but_o that_o god_n be_v free_a to_o send_v prophet_n when_o he_o please_v and_o that_o he_o may_v do_v so_o when_o the_o exigence_n of_o the_o church_n do_v require_v it_o be_v not_o this_o a_o manifest_a contradiction_n to_o his_o call_v the_o doctrine_n of_o inspiration_n and_o immediate_a revelation_n blasphemous_a or_o be_v god_n free_a to_o send_v when_o he_o please_v any_o blasphemous_a doctrine_n or_o principle_n into_o the_o world_n as_o this_o author_n term_v immediate_a revelatiation_n and_o

overthrow_v the_o authority_n of_o the_o scripture_n and_o annul_v the_o ministerial_a order_n will_v not_o this_o be_v inconsistent_a with_o his_o divine_a infinite_a wisdom_n but_o thus_o we_o see_v

to_o pray_v and_o prophesy_v in_o unknown_a tongue_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v many_o have_v both_o groan_v and_o pray_v by_o the_o spirit_n who_o never_o speak_v with_o unknown_a tongue_n as_o i_o

by_o this_o it_o plain_o seem_v he_o disow_v all_o groan_a and_o pray_v by_o the_o spirit_n as_o applicable_a to_o he_o or_o any_o of_o his_o brethren_n this_o i_o say_v again_o be_v far_o contrary_a to_o the_o liturgy_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o how_o know_v he_o that_o sometime_o in_o their_o meeting_n the_o people_n call_v in_o scorn_n quaker_n do_v nothing_o else_o i_o must_v tell_v he_o they_o do_v more_o in_o every_o meeting_n although_o to_o groan_v from_o the_o spirit_n be_v of_o more_o value_n than_o all_o that_o the_o author_n or_o any_o else_o can_v do_v without_o the_o spirit_n viz._n they_o meditate_v they_o wait_v they_o watch_v they_o sing_v and_o make_v a_o melody_n in_o their_o heart_n unto_o the_o lord_n but_o here_o he_o seem_v to_o scoff_n at_o our_o silent_a meeting_n where_o we_o wait_v to_o hear_v what_o god_n will_v speak_v unto_o we_o though_o perhaps_o no_o man_n at_o that_o time_n do_v speak_v which_o be_v well_o enough_o consistent_a with_o our_o principle_n of_o divine_a inspiration_n for_o if_o god_n inspire_v his_o people_n now_o as_o former_o they_o be_v well_o
