his_o righteousness_n be_v not_o there_o also_o and_o consequent_o whether_o he_o that_o deny_v the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n to_o be_v within_o the_o saint_n do_v not_o blasphemous_o deny_v christ_n to_o be_v there_o also_o 2_o qu_n whether_o christ_n be_v not_o make_v of_o god_n unto_o the_o saint_n wisdom_n righteousness_n sanctification_n and_o redemption_n and_o whether_o be_v he_o so_o make_v to_o they_o within_o they_o or_o without_o they_o 3_o qu_n whether_o redemption_n and_o righteousness_n must_v not_o be_v there_o witness_v where_o the_o seat_n of_o sin_n and_o uncleanness_n be_v and_o whether_o be_v that_o seat_n of_o sin_n and_o uncleanness_n within_o or_o without_o 4_o qu_n whether_o do_v not_o the_o scripture_n witness_n that_o christ_n give_v himself_o for_o his_o that_o he_o may_v redeem_v they_o from_o all_o iniquity_n and_o purisie_n they_o unto_o himself_o and_o whether_o be_v that_o redemption_n and_o purisy_v from_o their_o iniquity_n and_o

mire_n and_o dirt_n speak_v all_o manner_n of_o evil_n causeless_o for_o the_o truth_n sake_n and_o be_v these_o the_o protestant_a minister_n you_o say_v i_o revile_v because_o i_o speak_v the_o plain_a truth_n of_o they_o you_o pretend_v the_o scripture_n for_o you_o rule_v then_o let_v i_o ask_v you_o and_o let_v that_o of_o god_n in_o your_o own_o conscience_n judge_v betwixt_o you_o and_o i_o do_v the_o scripture_n judge_v those_o to_o be_v true_a shepherd_n or_o wolf_n that_o worry_v and_o persecute_v the_o poor_a sheep_n be_v they_o ever_o number_v among_o christ_n sheep_n that_o devour_v his_o innocent_a lamb_n be_v it_o the_o badge_n of_o the_o dovelike_a disciple_n of_o meek_a jesus_n to_o be_v persecutor_n or_o persecute_v christ_n before_o he_o leave_v the_o world_n foretell_v what_o shall_v be_v the_o portion_n of_o his_o minister_n and_o disciple_n viz_o they_o shall_v be_v beat_v and_o scourge_v in_o the_o synagogue_n be_v bring_v before_o ruler_n and_o

i_o of_o revile_v and_o tell_v i_o if_o these_o be_v minister_n of_o christ_n who_o do_v not_o abide_v in_o the_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n who_o never_o persecute_v any_o man_n nor_o give_v any_o

for_o they_o learn_v it_o from_o the_o practice_n of_o their_o teacher_n who_o own_o and_o preach_v some_o one_o fancy_n some_o another_o i_o know_v no_o seducer_n in_o the_o nation_n but_o such_o

a_o pretend_a inward_a light_n and_o therefore_o by_o way_n of_o retortion_n let_v i_o advise_v you_o not_o to_o trifle_v in_o those_o thing_n that_o be_v of_o eternal_a concernment_n call_v

the_o same_o do_v you_o judge_v now_o but_o the_o person_n and_o thing_n which_o they_o judge_v base_a the_o lord_n have_v make_v honourable_a and_o what_o proud_a man_n will_v root_v out_o of_o the_o
