here_o you_o may_v see_v that_o from_o the_o testimony_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n which_o your_o minister_n say_v shall_v be_v the_o standard_n to_o try_v every_o thing_n by_o that_o in_o the_o

14.15_o paul_n say_v he_o will_v pray_v with_o the_o spirit_n etc._n etc._n and_o sing_v with_o the_o spirit_n etc._n etc._n eph._n 5.18_o there_o the_o apostle_n exhort_v they_o to_o be_v fill_v

the_o four_o of_o john_n say_v that_o god_n be_v a_o spirit_n and_o they_o that_o worship_n he_o must_v worship_v he_o in_o spirit_n and_o truth_n and_o such_o do_v the_o father_n seek_v to_o

preach_v pray_o or_o sing_v aright_o and_o by_o what_o you_o have_v ability_n and_o know_v what_o to_o pray_v for_o without_o the_o spirit_n help_v what_o be_v you_o so_o strong_a of_o yourselves_o in_o yourself_o ability_n that_o you_o do_v not_o need_v that_o which_o the_o apostle_n and_o all_o true_a christian_n seek_v the_o help_n of_o and_o can_v not_o do_v without_o nay_o it_o be_v that_o by_o which_o they_o know_v what_o to_o pray_v for_o and_o therefore_o they_o wait_v for_o its_o assistance_n and_o paul_n say_v he_o will_v pray_v with_o it_o you_o may_v make_v long_a prayer_n like_o the_o pharisee_n but_o what_o will_v it_o avail_v it_o be_v do_v without_o that_o in_o which_o the_o saint_n have_v access_n to_o god._n so_o here_o your_o pray_v and_o worship_n and_o separation_n or_o gather_v be_v without_o the_o spirit_n what_o can_v it_o be_v but_o from_o self_n and_o in_o self_n and_o so_o like_o they_o speak_v of_o in_o judas_n 19_o these_o be_v they_o who_o separate_v themselves_o sensual_a not_o have_v the_o spirit_n and_o we_o desire_v you_o to_o read_v the_o 8_o chapter_n to_o the_o roman_n and_o consider_v what_o you_o be_v to_o walk_v after_o as_o christian_n and_o to_o be_v lead_v by_o and_o to_o live_v after_o and_o with_o what_o you_o be_v to_o mortify_v the_o flesh_n or_o the_o deed_n of_o the_o flesh_n if_o you_o own_o a_o mortification_n needful_a to_o salvation_n and_o whether_o you_o can_v be_v christ_n and_o not_o have_v his_o spirit_n and_o whether_o you_o can_v be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o not_o be_v lead_v by_o his_o spirit_n and_o whether_o you_o be_v child_n but_o by_o adoption_n and_o if_o by_o adoption_n whether_o this_o adoption_n be_v not_o by_o the_o spirit_n and_o whether_o it_o be_v not_o the_o spirit_n itself_o that_o bear_v witness_n with_o the_o saint_n spirit_n that_o they_o be_v the_o child_n of_o god_n as_o verse_n the_o 16._o and_o then_o consider_v what_o

receive_v act_v 20.35_o therefore_o it_o will_v be_v no_o unhappiness_n in_o james_n barry_n to_o have_v riches_n that_o he_o may_v rather_o give_v and_o be_v helpful_a to_o the_o poor_a then_o to_o be_v burdensome_a and_o make_v his_o ministry_n chargeable_a to_o his_o flock_n for_o we_o suppose_v he_o be_v subject_a to_o seek_v and_o desire_v it_o as_o well_o as_o other_o man_n as_o be_v

but_o this_o be_v one_o of_o the_o most_o powerful_a engine_n by_o which_o the_o art_n of_o quakerism_n have_v be_v propagate_v etc._n etc._n but_o what_o reason_n he_o have_v thus_o to_o believe_v he_o do_v not_o give_v but_o we_o may_v easy_o believe_v it_o be_v because_o he_o be_v full_a of_o envy_n and_o bitterness_n towards_o we_o or_o else_o he_o may_v see_v cause_n to_o doubt_v of_o it_o but_o in_o short_a we_o say_v that_o true_a christianity_n which_o he_o call_v quakerism_n have_v not_o be_v propagate_v by_o this_o engine_n but_o by_o the_o power_n of_o god_n which_o uphold_v his_o
