this_o man_n will_v have_v god_n to_o do_v that_o which_o he_o can_v do_v as_o i_o say_v before_o so_o he_o will_v have_v god_n to_o be_v more_o cruel_a than_o he_o be_v to_o condemn_v child_n who_o have_v do_v neither_o good_a nor_o evil_a which_o the_o scripture_n do_v no_o way_n justify_v for_o though_o god_n do_v say_v he_o will_v have_v mercy_n on_o who_o he_o will_v have_v mercy_n jacob_n have_v i_o love_v but_o esau_n have_v i_o hate_v before_o they_o have_v do_v good_a or_o evil_n and_o that_o say_v the_o seed_n of_o the_o woman_n shall_v break_v the_o serpent_n head_n and_o of_o that_o say_n the_o election_n of_o god_n stand_v sure_a all_o these_o place_n of_o scripture_n do_v not_o reach_v that_o child_n shall_v be_v damn_v although_o the_o seed_n of_o the_o serpent_n be_v for_o this_o be_v to_o be_v mind_v that_o the_o scripture_n be_v speak_v to_o man_n and_o woman_n capable_a of_o understanding_n for_o god_n do_v not_o say_v to_o child_n i_o will_v have_v mercy_n on_o who_o i_o will_v have_v mercy_n it_o be_v to_o man_n that_o understand_v what_o moses_n say_v likewise_o the_o apostle_n speak_v to_o man_n and_o woman_n and_o not_o to_o child_n else_o why_o shall_v the_o apostle_n exhort_v the_o people_n to_o make_v their_o call_n and_o election_n sure_a it_o will_v have_v be_v a_o vain_a thing_n to_o give_v exhortation_n to_o child_n and_o as_o for_o the_o seed_n of_o the_o woman_n bruise_v the_o head_n of_o the_o serpent_n it_o be_v in_o relation_n to_o man_n and_o woman_n for_o do_v not_o man_n and_o woman_n that_o be_v the_o seed_n of_o the_o woman_n who_o have_v faith_n in_o their_o heart_n by_o their_o patient_a suffering_n break_v or_o bruise_v the_o head_n of_o the_o serpentine_a man_n and_o woman_n who_o be_v the_o seed_n of_o the_o serpent_n who_o do_v rage_n and_o rail_v and_o persecute_v the_o innocent_a so_o that_o child_n have_v nothing_o to_o do_v in_o this_o matter_n and_o as_o for_o that_o say_n of_o jacob_n and_o esau_n the_o one_o be_v love_v of_o god_n and_o the_o other_o hate_v when_o they_o be_v both_o in_o the_o womb_n to_o that_o i_o say_v though_o jacob_n be_v in_o god_n decree_n belove_v and_o esau_n in_o god_n decree_n hate_v or_o reprobate_v yet_o this_o i_o say_v they_o be_v decree_v and_o appoint_v to_o live_v to_o man_n estate_n so_o that_o they_o may_v both_o be_v capable_a of_o election_n and_o reprobation_n and_o not_o to_o die_v in_o their_o childhood_n and_o this_o i_o say_v further_o that_o if_o you_o t._n t._n have_v die_v in_o your_o childhood_n you_o shall_v have_v be_v save_v though_o i_o know_v you_o be_v of_o the_o seed_n of_o the_o serpent_n but_o you_o be_v appoint_v to_o be_v damn_v to_o eternity_n you_o be_v appoint_v to_o live_v to_o despise_v the_o live_a god_n and_o blaspheme_v against_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o true_a god_n declare_v by_o those_o messenger_n who_o he_o have_v send_v and_o as_o for_o that_o say_n of_o you_o as_o the_o tree_n be_v so_o be_v the_o fruit_n your_o meaning_n be_v if_o the_o serpent_n be_v damn_v the_o child_n that_o be_v his_o seed_n must_v be_v damn_v also_o here_o you_o show_v your_o gross_a darkness_n and_o ignorance_n in_o the_o scripture_n because_o the_o scripture_n say_v a_o good_a tree_n bring_v forth_o good_a fruit_n and_o a_o evil_a tree_n bring_v forth_o evil_a fruit_n therefore_o you_o conclude_v that_o child_n be_v fruit_n of_o the_o serpent_n he_o be_v that_o evil_a tree_n 5._o to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o the_o meaning_n of_o the_o scripture_n in_o those_o word_n aforesaid_a be_v not_o mean_v that_o child_n that_o be_v beget_v and_o bear_v i_o say_v they_o be_v not_o count_v the_o fruit_n of_o the_o serpent_n for_o we_o see_v by_o experience_n and_o by_o the_o scripture_n that_o sometime_o reprobate_a man_n and_o woman_n who_o be_v both_o of_o the_o seed_n of_o the_o serpent_n yet_o the_o child_n that_o be_v beget_v by_o they_o be_v of_o the_o elect_a this_o i_o know_v by_o experience_n since_o i_o come_v to_o know_v the_o scripture_n and_o can_v distinguish_v between_o the_o two_o seed_n likewise_o it_o be_v clear_a by_o scripture_n that_o a_o faithful_a man_n and_o woman_n they_o be_v both_o of_o they_o the_o seed_n of_o faith_n that_o be_v the_o seed_n of_o the_o woman_n for_o there_o be_v but_o two_o seed_n speak_v of_o in_o scripture_n that_o have_v begotten_a reprobate_n as_o that_o of_o isaac_n and_o rebecca_n they_o be_v both_o of_o the_o elect_a seed_n yet_o they_o beget_v esau_n which_o the_o scripture_n brand_n for_o a_o reprobate_n so_o that_o sometime_o two_o reprobate_n may_v get_v a_o elect_a child_n one_o or_o more_o and_o two_o of_o the_o faithful_a seed_n may_v beget_v one_o or_o more_o reprobate_n so_o that_o child_n be_v not_o call_v in_o the_o scripture_n fruit_n of_o the_o serpent_n tree_n for_o child_n be_v tree_n themselves_o if_o they_o live_v to_o maturity_n of_o age_n 3._o but_o those_o motion_n and_o action_n which_o these_o tree_n bring_v forth_o in_o their_o life_n and_o conversation_n be_v call_v in_o scripture_n fruit_n of_o the_o tree_n if_o good_a motion_n and_o action_n than_o call_v a_o good_a tree_n if_o evil_a and_o sinful_a motion_n than_o call_v a_o evil_a or_o corrupt_a tree_n for_o the_o good_a tree_n bring_v forth_o good_a fruit_n even_o the_o fruit_n of_o the_o spirit_n which_o be_v patience_n meekness_n love_n and_o faith_n in_o god_n and_o such_o like_a fruit_n which_o good_a tree_n which_o be_v man_n and_o woman_n do_v bring_v forth_o so_o likewise_o the_o evil_a tree_n be_v man_n and_o woman_n also_o and_o they_o bring_v forth_o evil_a fruit_n even_o the_o fruit_n of_o the_o flesh_n which_o be_v envy_n unbelief_n persecution_n blasphemy_n against_o the_o true_a god_n these_o and_o such_o like_a fruit_n proceed_v from_o the_o evil_a tree_n of_o the_o reason_n in_o man_n and_o the_o good_a fruit_n proceed_v from_o the_o good_a tree_n which_o be_v the_o faith_n in_o man_n for_o there_o be_v but_o two_o tree_n speak_v of_o in_o scripture_n to_o wit_n the_o tree_n of_o life_n signify_v the_o tree_n of_o faith_n and_o the_o tree_n of_o knowledge_n of_o good_a and_o evil_n signify_v the_o tree_n of_o reason_n so_o that_o all_o man_n good_a and_o bad_a be_v rank_v under_o these_o two_o tree_n and_o those_o man_n that_o bring_v forth_o fruit_n of_o faith_n as_o aforesaid_a may_v be_v say_v to_o bring_v forth_o good_a fruit_n and_o those_o man_n that_o bring_v forth_o fruit_n of_o reason_n as_o aforesaid_a may_v be_v say_v to_o bring_v forth_o evil_a fruit_n as_o you_o have_v do_v so_o that_o what_o fruit_n man_n or_o woman_n bring_v forth_o in_o their_o life_n be_v come_v to_o age_n be_v count_v by_o the_o scripture_n good_a or_o evil_a fruit_n and_o so_o say_v to_o proceed_v from_o a_o good_a tree_n or_o a_o evil_a tree_n and_o not_o with_o any_o relation_n to_o the_o fruit_n of_o the_o womb_n that_o be_v generate_v and_o beget_v as_o child_n therefore_o when_o john_n baptist_n say_v the_o axis_fw-la lay_v to_o the_o root_n of_o the_o tree_n he_o mean_v wise_a and_o prudent_a man_n who_o be_v wicked_a persecutor_n he_o do_v not_o mean_a that_o their_o young_a child_n shall_v be_v hew_v down_o and_o cast_v into_o the_o fire_n so_o likewise_o when_o the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o the_o fruit_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o the_o fruit_n of_o the_o flesh_n he_o tell_v what_o they_o both_o be_v so_o that_o child_n be_v not_o call_v the_o fruit_n of_o the_o serpent-tree_n though_o they_o be_v of_o the_o same_o seed_n for_o seed_n be_v one_o thing_n and_o fruit_n be_v another_o so_o you_o err_v not_o know_v the_o scripture_n nor_o the_o power_n of_o god_n for_o i_o never_o know_v any_o quaker_n give_v any_o interpretation_n of_o scripture_n but_o speak_v the_o word_n as_o they_o lie_v which_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o their_o gross_a mistake_n of_o the_o meaning_n of_o the_o scripture_n and_o run_v into_o those_o and_o such_o like_a error_n that_o god_n fill_v heaven_n and_o earth_n from_o these_o word_n they_o believe_v god_n be_v so_o big_a as_o to_o fill_v heaven_n and_o earth_n and_o of_o that_o say_n know_v you_o not_o that_o christ_n be_v in_o you_o except_o you_o be_v reprobate_n from_o these_o word_n they_o ground_n their_o faith_n that_o christ_n be_v within_o they_o and_o so_o will_v admit_v of_o no_o body_n or_o person_n of_o christ_n without_o they_o nor_o in_o heaven_n above_o the_o star_n and_o so_o of_o other_o say_n in_o scripture_n as_o that_o that_o christ_n enlighten_v every_o man_n that_o come_v into_o the_o world_n but_o will_v admit_v of_o no_o interpretation_n themselves_o because_o they_o can_v but_o be_v angry_a
