impossible_a to_o be_v avoid_v either_o what_o christ_n our_o lord_n speak_v be_v truth_n or_o not_o truth_n if_o truth_n than_o our_o confession_n be_v in_o some_o measure_n a_o demonstration_n of_o our_o justification_n mangre_n all_o the_o spite_n and_o malice_n of_o our_o adversary_n but_o if_o they_o i_o not_o own_v it_o to_o be_v truth_n that_o be_v no_o proof_n against_o we_o while_o we_o be_v faithful_a follower_n of_o our_o master_n in_o that_o we_o have_v take_v he_o for_o our_o example_n and_o if_o follower_n of_o christ_n than_o christians_n but_o we_o hope_v the_o adversary_n will_v not_o dare_v to_o give_v our_o lord_n the_o author_n and_o god_n of_o truth_n the_o lie_n or_o yet_o presume_v without_o the_o inspiration_n and_o revelation_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n to_o give_v any_o construction_n or_o add_v any_o meaning_n to_o those_o plain_a word_n of_o the_o truth_n itself_o for_o fear_n if_o he_o have_v any_o fear_n of_o god_n before_o his_o eye_n that_o god_n shall_v add_v to_o he_o the_o plague_n which_o be_v write_v in_o that_o book_n 9_o the_o adversary_n have_v not_o yet_o nor_o indeed_o can_v he_o show_v in_o the_o least_o measure_n any_o thing_n of_o a_o reason_n in_o opposition_n to_o what_o we_o urge_v once_o in_o a_o former_a paper_n the_o which_o be_v this_o whether_o what_o we_o say_v be_v our_o faith_n ought_v not_o rather_o to_o be_v take_v for_o our_o faith_n than_o what_o our_o adversary_n say_v it_o be_v since_o we_o better_o know_v what_o we_o believe_v than_o what_o another_o do_v if_o yea_o wherefore_o shall_v the_o adversary_n say_v the_o contrary_a if_o nay_o wherefore_o shall_v they_o or_o any_o else_o be_v any_o more_o believe_v in_o any_o of_o their_o verbal_a confession_n than_o we_o or_o any_o other_o man_n since_o there_o be_v no_o reason_n that_o their_o credit_n shall_v exceed_v in_o the_o least_o measure_n we_o or_o any_o other_o person_n this_o argument_n we_o think_v not_o only_o unanswerable_a but_o also_o strong_a enough_o to_o make_v invalid_a what_o ever_o the_o adversary_n can_v say_v in_o opposition_n to_o we_o and_o not_o only_o so_o but_o also_o force_v he_o to_o give_v himself_o the_o lye_n it_o be_v indeed_o great_a policy_n in_o he_o to_o decline_v that_o which_o he_o can_v not_o approach_v to_o evade_v those_o thing_n which_o neither_o his_o ability_n nor_o malice_n dare_v venture_v to_o oppose_v and_o to_o let_v all_o those_o thing_n pass_v by_o in_o silence_n the_o bare_a remembrance_n of_o which_o may_v be_v enough_o perfect_o to_o overthrow_v his_o cause_n but_o alas_o i_o talk_v to_o they_o who_o say_v the_o confession_n of_o our_o faith_n in_o scripture_n language_n be_v a_o old_a art_n of_o deceiver_n sure_o the_o christian_a faith_n and_o holy_a scripture_n be_v never_o thus_o abuse_v before_o but_o this_o be_v that_o the_o scripture_n may_v be_v fulfil_v they_o shall_v say_v all_o manner_n of_o evil_n against_o you_o false_o for_o my_o name_n sake_n 10._o it_o be_v policy_n in_o he_o that_o intend_v to_o tell_v a_o lie_n to_o tell_v such_o a_o one_o as_o may_v have_v some_o seem_a probability_n of_o truth_n with_o it_o and_o not_o such_o as_o almost_o the_o whole_a world_n know_v to_o be_v a_o notorious_a falcity_n thereby_o render_v themselves_o not_o only_o void_a of_o honesty_n but_o also_o wit_n let_v but_o this_o calumny_n of_o the_o adversary_n viz._n that_o the_o quaker_n be_v no_o christian_n be_v but_o serious_o consider_v and_o you_o will_v not_o only_o find_v it_o look_v like_o a_o egregious_a slander_n but_o such_o a_o apparent_a lie_n as_o that_o nothing_o in_o the_o world_n can_v be_v tell_v to_o exceed_v it_o either_o in_o matter_n end_n or_o evidence_n i_o hope_v there_o be_v none_o think_v but_o that_o we_o believe_v we_o have_v soul_n as_o well_o as_o other_o and_o that_o we_o desire_v hope_v for_o and_o seek_v after_o the_o salvation_n of_o they_o as_o well_o as_o other_o do_v or_o at_o leastwise_o that_o we_o have_v as_o much_o reason_n to_o do_v it_o as_o any_o have_v and_o if_o so_o who_o shall_v be_v so_o simple_a as_o to_o believe_v that_o we_o shall_v jest_v with_o heaven_n or_o trample_v underfoot_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o covenant_n as_o a_o unworthy_a thing_n what_o mortal_a can_v be_v so_o void_a of_o reason_n as_o to_o imagine_v that_o we_o shall_v despise_v or_o slight_v that_o which_o have_v seek_v we_o or_o deny_v he_o from_o who_o we_o not_o only_o know_v we_o receive_v all_o our_o mercy_n here_o but_o of_o who_o we_o hope_v to_o have_v a_o everlasting_a life_n hereafter_o and_o by_o who_o we_o do_v believe_v we_o shall_v be_v make_v partaker_n of_o glory_n and_o heir_n of_o a_o eternal_a inheritance_n the_o adversary_n can_v tell_v no_o great_a a_o falcity_n of_o we_o than_o to_o say_v that_o we_o deny_v he_o who_o be_v more_o to_o we_o than_o all_o the_o world_n beside_o for_o who_o sake_n we_o esteem_v nothing_o we_o have_v in_o this_o world_n and_o account_v all_o thing_n loss_n that_o we_o may_v gain_v he_o and_o without_o doubt_v his_o end_n of_o speak_v of_o it_o be_v only_o to_o render_v we_o odious_a to_o the_o world_n and_o to_o make_v we_o the_o mark_n for_o all_o to_o shoot_v their_o arrow_n at_o that_o if_o possible_a we_o may_v be_v root_v out_o from_o off_o the_o face_n of_o the_o earth_n this_o be_v the_o adversary_n charity_n ii_o reflection_n upon_o j._n ives_n his_o paper_n in_o particular_a 1._o in_o the_o adversary_n first_o paper_n he_o lay_v down_o his_o charge_n against_o the_o quaker_n upon_o a_o challenge_n to_o meet_v they_o to_o dispute_v but_o more_o proper_o to_o rail_v and_o that_o with_o so_o much_o confidence_n and_o impudence_n as_o if_o he_o intend_v to_o make_v the_o world_n think_v he_o positive_o believe_v they_o himself_o the_o which_o i_o suppose_v and_o be_o persuade_v any_o sober_a and_o rational_a man_n will_v judge_v the_o contrary_a and_o real_o conceive_v it_o be_v prejudice_n not_o his_o faith_n which_o make_v he_o lay_v down_o those_o assertion_n 2._o he_o say_v that_o by_o force_n of_o argument_n he_o have_v drive_v they_o to_o that_o strait_a that_o they_o can_v make_v no_o reply_n but_o the_o true_a reason_n of_o his_o not_o have_v a_o reply_n be_v because_o he_o can_v not_o be_v induce_v by_o any_o mean_n to_o stay_v to_o hear_v william_n pen_n make_v his_o answer_n wherein_o be_v plain_o detect_v his_o falsehood_n and_o calumny_n and_o to_o salve_v that_o he_o say_v he_o be_v under_o some_o indisposition_n of_o body_n a_o notable_a come_v off_o and_o so_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v doubt_v but_o he_o may_v always_o be_v when_o he_o see_v he_o be_v like_a to_o come_v by_o the_o worst_a 3._o he_o say_v we_o own_o such_o book_n as_o contain_v in_o they_o doctrine_n no_o way_n reconcilable_a to_o scripture_n language_n or_o christian_a religion_n but_o be_v destructive_a both_o of_o the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o but_o all_o the_o proof_n he_o give_v we_o be_v his_o bare_a affirmation_n he_o need_v but_o only_o say_v so_o though_o nothing_o be_v more_o false_a he_o think_v it_o be_v a_o good_a mean_n of_o render_v we_o odious_a to_o the_o world_n there_o be_v no_o artifice_n so_o excellent_a with_o he_o as_o to_o dare_v and_o say_v he_o will_v do_v it_o that_o people_n which_o know_v not_o his_o impudence_n may_v believe_v he_o can_v though_o nothing_o be_v more_o impossible_a to_o be_v do_v 4._o in_o his_o second_o paper_n he_o reiterate_v his_o charge_n and_o instead_o of_o serious_o consider_v and_o answer_v of_o a_o paper_n send_v to_o he_o by_o w._n s._n he_o make_v a_o long_a descant_n because_o he_o put_v not_o his_o name_n at_o length_n and_o then_o at_o length_n tax_v the_o say_v w._n s._n with_o contradiction_n in_o these_o word_n thou_o the_o adversary_n tongue_n be_v no_o slander_n with_o sober_a citizen_n yet_o that_o he_o never_o meet_v with_o more_o lie_n and_o slander_n in_o so_o few_o lines_n all_o which_o may_v well_o be_v true_a for_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o falsity_n of_o the_o adversary_n word_v themselves_o they_o be_v both_o lie_v and_o slander_n but_o in_o respect_n of_o their_o acceptation_n with_o some_o sober_a citizen_n they_o may_v be_v no_o slander_n because_o of_o their_o not_o believe_v of_o they_o 5._o and_o total_o to_o avoid_v a_o answer_n to_o the_o say_a paper_n he_o relate_v some_o opinion_n he_o hold_v as_o that_o the_o same_o body_n which_o be_v now_o the_o habitation_n of_o the_o soul_n shall_v rise_v again_o and_o enter_v with_o the_o soul_n into_o everlasting_a joy_n or_o torment_n but_o we_o query_n whether_o this_o body_n must_v be_v corruptible_a and_o earthly_a elemental_a or_o not_o if_o earthly_a or_o elemental_a the_o
