of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n and_o by_o this_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o they_o have_v the_o holy_a spirit_n agreeable_a to_o that_o in_o the_o 16._o of_o john_n and_o these_o be_v they_o that_o oppress_v christ_n as_o a_o cart_n under_o sheaf_n and_o such_o vex_a the_o spirit_n as_o in_o eccles_n and_o whereas_o thou_o say_v all_o that_o do_v grieve_v vex_v and_o resist_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n have_v it_o not_o but_o they_o resist_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n in_o the_o prophet_n this_o be_v thy_o meaning_n we_o know_v they_o resist_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n in_o the_o prophet_n when_o they_o first_o grieve_v it_o in_o themselves_o as_o thou_o do_v and_o as_o in_o the_o four_o of_o john_n the_o world_n receive_v he_o not_o how_o shall_v they_o when_o they_o hate_v the_o

so_o it_o be_v thou_o that_o grieve_v god_n spirit_n in_o his_o servant_n and_o whereas_o thou_o say_v when_o steven_n say_v they_o do_v resist_v the_o holy_a ghost_n it_o be_v the_o spirit_n in_o

your_o father_n persecute_v etc._n etc._n this_o again_o be_v thy_o meaning_n but_o the_o scripture_n do_v not_o say_v as_o thou_o say_v for_o those_o that_o resist_v the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o stephen_n have_v receive_v the_o law_n of_o god_n by_o the_o disposition_n of_o angel_n etc._n etc._n act_v 7._o 53._o now_o the_o law_n of_o god_n be_v the_o thing_n of_o god_n and_o the_o angel_n minister_a spirit_n so_o these_o that_o have_v the_o thing_n of_o god_n have_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n and_o when_o they_o keep_v not_o the_o law_n of_o god_n they_o quench_v and_o resist_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n both_o in_o themselves_o and_o other_o and_o whereas_o thou_o say_v when_o the_o mighty_a power_n of_o god_n be_v put_v forth_o in_o sign_n and_o wonder_n in_o egypt_n and_o the_o
