the_o second_o i_o evident_o prove_v thus_o if_o water_n and_o spirit_n be_v the_o only_a operative_a to_o regeneration_n and_o regeneration_n the_o alone_a way_n to_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n then_o can_v no_o man_n inherit_v god_n kingdom_n that_o be_v not_o regenerate_v neither_o can_v any_o man_n be_v regenerate_v that_o be_v not_o wash_v by_o the_o water_n of_o life_n beget_v work_v

the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n or_o most_o infallible_a spirit_n be_v god_n gift_n to_o his_o servant_n in_o gospel_n time_n to_o abide_v with_o they_o forever_o then_o be_v they_o accompany_v with_o a_o

and_o therefore_o they_o be_v not_o without_o such_o a_o infallible_a spirit_n and_o our_o adversary_n be_v more_o to_o blame_v to_o reflect_v upon_o the_o guidance_n of_o a_o infallible_a spirit_n which_o be_v so_o consonant_a with_o the_o express_a letter_n of_o a_o multitude_n of_o scripture_n passage_n than_o we_o be_v because_o we_o credit_v g._n f._n upon_o conviction_n and_o if_o he_o

whatever_o we_o shall_v say_v or_o affirm_v we_o may_v on_o much_o better_a ground_n conclude_v never_o to_o believe_v what_o he_o assert_n and_o whole_o to_o decline_v write_v or_o speak_v to_o he_o to_o use_v his_o own_o word_n if_o hereafter_o he_o will_v dare_v to_o continue_v in_o the_o belief_n of_o so_o anti-scriptural_a and_o anti-gospel_n a_o apprehension_n as_o that_o there_o be_v no_o infallible_a spirit_n to_o guide_v man_n in_o the_o way_n of_o salvation_n which_o be_v as_o express_v and_o evident_a from_o many_o naked_a text_n of_o scripture_n as_o that_o god_n be_v truth_n else_o never_o do_v any_o write_v more_o delude_v mankind_n because_o none_o can_v be_v more_o particular_a and_o plain_a in_o the_o promise_n and_o allowance_n of_o it_o but_o let_v god_n and_o his_o

of_o truth_n be_v the_o reason_n render_v by_o our_o lord_n jesus_n why_o the_o world_n receive_v it_o not_o then_o may_v we_o most_o just_o infer_v that_o they_o never_o see_v it_o neither_o know_v it_o but_o be_v of_o the_o world_n who_o can_v receive_v it_o but_o write_v against_o it_o in_o reference_n to_o its_o great_a office_n viz._n of_o be_v the_o saint_n teacher_n leader_n and_o

enjoyment_n of_o the_o high_a glory_n therefore_o they_o disregard_n it_o as_o contemptible_a and_o disbelieve_v it_o as_o incredible_a 3._o if_o the_o ground_n of_o the_o saint_n knowledge_n of_o that_o infallible_a spirit_n be_v the_o spirit_n be_v inhabit_v they_o for_o he_o dwell_v with_o you_o and_o shall_v be_v in_o you_o then_o be_v they_o not_o without_o that_o spirit_n and_o consequent_o they_o be_v attend_v with_o a_o infallible_a guide_n within_o they_o 4._o if_o the_o lord_n jesus_n will_v not_o leave_v they_o comfortless_o but_o though_o visible_o with-drawn_a yet_o in_o a_o more_o spiritual_a and_o invisible_a manner_n will_v come_v to_o they_o again_o and_o that_o at_o that_o day_n they_o shall_v know_v that_o he_o be_v in_o his_o father_n they_o in_o he_o

who_o all_o power_n and_o judgement_n be_v commit_v 5._o if_o both_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n be_v promise_v to_o come_v and_o when_o come_v to_o guide_v into_o all_o truth_n that_o be_v to_o say_v

so_o that_o if_o george_n fox_n have_v single_o affirm_v that_o to_o be_v true_a which_o be_v false_a it_o prove_v he_o no_o false_a prophet_n or_o impostor_n and_o therefore_o our_o adversary_n
