yet_o the_o one_o cause_o be_v not_o the_o other_o therefore_o their_o argument_n be_v as_o vain_a and_o false_a as_o who_o do_v argue_v the_o little_a mustardseed_n cause_v the_o herb_n mustard_n

and_o the_o inward_a filth_n and_o stain_n of_o it_o but_o before_o i_o finish_v my_o answer_n to_o this_o head_n let_v i_o give_v notice_n to_o the_o reader_n of_o several_a gross_a perversion_n falsity_n and_o abuse_v they_o put_v on_o my_o sound_a word_n cite_v in_o their_o several_a page_n on_o these_o last_o head_n from_o pag._n 15._o to_o pag._n 33._o first_o in_o pag._n 16._o they_o pervert_v my_o plain_a word_n where_o i_o say_v though_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n preach_v he_o as_o in_o the_o form_n of_o a_o man_n yet_o they_o preach_v he_o also_o and_o that_o more_o general_o as_o a_o light_n to_o the_o gentile_n yea_o and_o to_o jew_n also_o where_o they_o put_v a_o false_a and_o perverse_a sense_n upon_o the_o word_n more_o general_o as_o if_o i_o do_v signify_v by_o it_o more_o frequent_o which_o i_o do_v not_o but_o by_o more_o general_o i_o do_v and_o do_v understand_v that_o his_o inward_a appearance_n by_o his_o light_n and_o grace_n in_o man_n be_v and_o ever_o be_v more_o general_a than_o his_o outward_a appearance_n in_o the_o outward_a and_o visible_a form_n of_o a_o man_n therefore_o what_o be_v in_o itself_o more_o general_a they_o preach_v it_o to_o be_v so_o but_o this_o do_v not_o infer_v that_o they_o preach_v he_o more_o frequent_o within_o man_n than_o without_o they_o for_o if_o they_o preach_v as_o they_o write_v in_o their_o write_n where_o once_o we_o read_v of_o christ_n within_o we_o read_v some_o score_n of_o time_n of_o christ_n as_o he_o be_v outward_o manifest_a be_v bear_v dyed_n bury_v rise_v again_o ascend_v and_o be_v go_v into_o heaven_n where_o he_o remain_v our_o advocate_n and_o mediator_n with_o the_o father_n second_o they_o perverse_o infer_v from_o my_o word_n that_o whereas_o i_o former_o make_v the_o knowledge_n and_o faith_n of_o the_o history_n of_o christ_n outward_a coming_z not_o essential_a to_o religion_n now_o i_o do_v make_v it_o essential_a but_o in_o this_o they_o be_v guilty_a of_o palbable_a forgery_n for_o as_o none_o of_o the_o citation_n they_o bring_v prove_v it_o so_o i_o do_v not_o remember_v that_o ever_o i_o so_o say_v or_o write_v but_o the_o knowledge_n and_o faith_n of_o the_o history_n be_v one_o thing_n and_o the_o implicit_a knowledge_n and_o faith_n of_o christ_n as_o he_o be_v without_o we_o be_v another_o thing_n and_o therefore_o for_o they_o thus_o to_o confound_v thing_n so_o differ_v argue_v great_a ignorance_n or_o prejudice_n and_o however_o it_o argue_v great_a falsity_n and_o unfair_a deal_v three_o that_o they_o make_v it_o a_o inconsistency_n and_o contradiction_n in_o i_o to_o have_v former_o say_v cornelius_n be_v a_o devout_a and_o religious_a man_n one_o who_o prayer_n god_n hear_v and_o yet_o of_o late_a to_o have_v say_v cornelius_n have_v not_o the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o his_o gentile_a estate_n although_o he_o have_v a_o great_a measure_n of_o gentile_a sincerity_n and_o righteousness_n but_o this_o be_v no_o real_a contradiction_n although_o it_o may_v seem_v so_o to_o their_o ignorance_n and_o darkness_n it_o be_v easy_a to_o show_v out_o of_o scripture_n that_o none_o have_v the_o holy_a ghost_n or_o be_v say_v to_o have_v the_o holy_a ghost_n but_o believer_n in_o christ_n crucify_a who_o do_v witness_v that_o special_a office_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n to_o sanctify_v they_o by_o give_v they_o the_o holy_a faith_n in_o christ_n crucify_v and_o though_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v holy_a as_o well_o in_o his_o nature_n as_o in_o his_o special_a office_n of_o sanctify_v they_o who_o witness_n his_o

and_o therefore_o as_o he_o be_v not_o say_v to_o be_v the_o holy_a ghost_n or_o holy_a spirit_n in_o wicked_a man_n so_o nor_o in_o pious_a gentile_n or_o in_o such_o only_a as_o be_v but_o as_o
