who_o i_o know_v all_o will_v hear_v that_o hear_v christ_n yet_o upon_o serious_a consideration_n i_o find_v its_o of_o purpose_n to_o deceive_v christian_n and_o so_o he_o have_v show_v himself_o as_o bad_a as_o the_o devil_n he_o speak_v of_o be_v find_v do_v the_o same_o work_n of_o which_o he_o seem_v to_o accuse_v the_o devil_n for_o in_o his_o six_o chapter_n i_o find_v he_o as_o afore_o

thing_n as_o to_o preach_v or_o teach_v etc._n etc._n but_o say_v he_o the_o evil_a spirit_n affirm_v the_o quite_o contrary_a by_o persuade_v they_o they_o may_v all_o prophecy_n one_o by_o one_o but_o alas_o then_o sai_z a.s._n he_o deceive_v for_o that_o place_n be_v understand_v of_o the_o real_a and_o true_a prophet_n of_o who_o number_n all_o the_o devil_n in_o hell_n can_v prove_v all_o tradesman_n to_o be_v answ_n here_o a.s._n seem_v to_o oppose_v that_o which_o for_o my_o part_n i_o know_v none_o affirm_v for_o who_o be_v there_o that_o say_v all_o tradesman_n have_v the_o spirit_n of_o prophecy_n i_o know_v none_o yet_o although_o all_o tradesman_n have_v it_o not_o it_o do_v not_o therefore_o follow_v that_o no_o tradesman_n have_v it_o neither_o do_v i_o ever_o read_v that_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n do_v forbid_v tradesman_n to_o meddle_v with_o those_o thing_n nor_o do_v that_o scripture_n which_o a.s._n quote_v confirm_v any_o such_o thing_n which_o he_o affirm_v but_o rather_o the_o contrary_n and_o we_o do_v read_v in_o the_o scripture_n of_o truth_n that_o christ_n do_v call_v some_o of_o several_a tradesman_n to_o teach_v the_o way_n of_o god_n and_o to_o preach_v the_o everlasting_a gospel_n witness_v st._n peter_n a_o fisherman_n and_o st._n paul_n a_o tentmaker_n with_o divers_a other_o that_o may_v be_v mention_v so_o that_o though_o all_o tradesman_n have_v not_o the_o spirit_n of_o prophecy_n yet_o we_o see_v that_o some_o have_v and_o they_o be_v not_o forbid_v but_o command_v to_o preach_v and_o teach_v and_o therefore_o they_o who_o have_v the_o testimony_n of_o jesus_n which_o be_v the_o spirit_n of_o prophecy_n although_o they_o be_v tradesman_n they_o may_v preach_v and_o teach_v according_a to_o the_o gift_n thereof_o receive_v for_o the_o apostle_n say_v every_o one_o as_o he_o have_v receive_v the_o gift_n of_o the_o spirit_n so_o let_v he_o administer_v 1_o pet._n 4.10_o 7._o and_o say_v a.s._n the_o apostle_n say_v woman_n must_v not_o speak_v in_o the_o church_n but_o the_o devil_n say_v they_o may_v for_o the_o scripture_n aver_v say_v he_o that_o your_o son_n and_o daughter_n shall_v prophesy_v this_o devil_n deceive_v the_o woman_n quaker_n but_o alas_o that_o scripture_n be_v fulfil_v in_o the_o apostle_n and_o in_o the_o true_a prophetess_n in_o their_o time_n as_o anna_n luk._n 2.28_o and_o now_o be_v in_o such_o as_o have_v the_o true_a spirit_n of_o pprophecy_n which_o quaker_n wife_n and_o daughter_n can_v never_o prove_v themselves_o to_o have_v answ_n here_o a.s._n have_v confess_v that_o there_o be_v prophetess_n in_o the_o apostle_n day_n and_o that_o there_o now_o be_v at_o this_o day_n also_o and_o the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o woman_n that_o be_v helper_n with_o he_o in_o the_o gospel_n phil._n 4.3_o so_o then_o its_o undeniable_a that_o woman_n do_v speak_v and_o prophesy_v and_o now_o may_v though_o the_o apostle_n do_v not_o permit_v busybody_n and_o ta●lers_n to_o be_v ask_v question_n in_o the_o church_n but_o say_v they_o shall_v ask_v their_o husband_n at_o home_n so_o the_o thing_n disputable_a be_v whether_o or_o no_o the_o quaker_n wife_n and_o daughter_n h●ve_v the_o true_a spirit_n of_o prophecy_n concern_v which_o i_o say_v this_o the_o testimony_n of_o jesus_n be_v the_o spirit_n of_o prophecy_n and_o many_o wife_n and_o daughter_n of_o the_o people_n call_v quaker_n have_v receive_v the_o testimony_n of_o jesus_n and_o know_v the_o life_n of_o jesus_n manifest_v in_o they_o as_o by_o their_o fruit_n of_o love_n

have_v the_o spirit_n of_o prophecy_n and_o far_o several_a of_o the_o wife_n and_o daughter_n among_o the_o people_n call_v quaker_n have_v prophesy_v of_o the_o desolation_n of_o the_o great_a whore_n the_o church_n of_o rome_n and_o when_o that_o come_v to_o pass_v it_o will_v be_v thereby_o prove_v that_o they_o have_v the_o true_a spirit_n of_o pprophecy_n and_o then_o shall_v every_o

a.s._n say_v that_o the_o good_a spirit_n say_v it_o be_v a_o religious_a act_n to_o swear_v by_o god_n in_o a_o just_a cause_n but_o the_o evil_a spirit_n contradict_v for_o its_o write_a say_v he_o

in_o truth_n in_o judgement_n and_o in_o justice_n etc._n etc._n ans_fw-fr i_o answer_v although_o in_o the_o law_n and_o prophet_n people_n be_v command_v to_o swear_v in_o truth_n and_o
