a_o copy_n of_o the_o aforesaid_a paper_n to_o jeremy_n suift_n follow_v to_o you_o that_o think_v william_n haworth_n to_o be_v a_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n how_o do_v you_o relish_v this_o doctrine_n he_o affirm_v that_o the_o thorough_a work_n of_o regeneration_n which_o bring_v a_o man_n into_o god_n kingdom_n of_o glory_n be_v not_o sufficient_a for_o man_n salvation_n though_o this_o can_v be_v without_o true_a justify_v faith_n in_o the_o son_n of_o god_n by_o virtue_n whereof_o this_o work_n be_v wrought_v in_o the_o heart_n yet_o he_o say_v this_o be_v not_o sufficient_a for_o salvation_n but_o call_v this_o inward_a work_n of_o christ_n legal_a righteousness_n therefore_o he_o deny_v the_o perfection_n of_o the_o work_n of_o christ_n what_o he_o do_v for_o we_o in_o the_o day_n of_o his_o flesh_n and_o at_o his_o death_n and_o the_o efficacy_n of_o that_o one_o offer_v and_o blood_n that_o be_v shed_v for_o we_o and_o be_v for_o the_o perfect_a of_o the_o sanctify_a one_o that_o so_o they_o may_v be_v bring_v into_o the_o everlasting_a kingdom_n of_o his_o glory_n in_o which_o be_v peace_n complete_n and_o perfection_n union_n and_o communion_n with_o god_n in_o christ_n jesus_n and_o so_o this_o man_n speak_v unadvised_o with_o his_o lip_n and_o his_o ignorance_n of_o the_o work_n be_v the_o ground_n of_o his_o mistake_n again_o what_o do_v you_o say_v to_o this_o doctrine_n of_o he_o viz._n that_o the_o light_n within_o that_o discover_v all_o manner_n of_o sin_n yea_o the_o secret_a sin_n of_o the_o heart_n or_o whatever_o sin_n he_o commit_v he_o say_v this_o light_n be_v altogether_o darkness_n yea_o he_o say_v it_o be_v flesh_n and_o before_o a_o man_n be_v convince_v he_o have_v nothing_o in_o he_o but_o flesh_n the_o light_n afore_o mention_v he_o say_v be_v altogether_o darkness_n and_o flesh_n but_o some_o of_o you_o be_v of_o a_o better_a judgement_n in_o this_o matter_n and_o have_v say_v to_o i_o and_o before_o william_n haworth_n that_o it_o will_v bring_v a_o man_n under_o the_o sense_n of_o sin_n and_o condemn_v he_o for_o it_o so_o that_o it_o seem_v some_o of_o you_o begin_v to_o grow_v wise_a than_o your_o teacher_n and_o i_o pray_v god_n that_o you_o may_v go_v on_o to_o increase_v in_o that_o which_o be_v good_a daily_a and_o know_v the_o lord_n god_n and_o his_o spirit_n to_o teach_v you_o and_o not_o to_o depend_v upon_o such_o a_o unlearned_a man_n as_o this_o in_o the_o thing_n of_o god_n for_o paul_n say_v the_o law_n be_v spiritual_a but_o he_o be_v carnal_a again_o he_o say_v that_o thousand_o in_o the_o world_n be_v this_o day_n condemn_v by_o the_o lord_n yet_o notwithstanding_o be_v not_o condemine_v for_o unbelief_n so_o it_o seem_v there_o be_v a_o people_n in_o the_o world_n who_o unbelief_n shall_v not_o be_v charge_v upon_o they_o yet_o must_v be_v condemn_v now_o be_v not_o unbelief_n the_o very_a ground-sin_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n who_o be_v in_o the_o first_o adam_n and_o the_o inlet_n into_o all_o manner_n of_o vice_n and_o debauchery_n and_o be_v clear_a from_o the_o sin_n of_o unbelief_n he_o be_v in_o the_o way_n to_o obtain_v freedom_n from_o all_o manner_n of_o sin_n whatsoever_o and_o it_o may_v not_o touch_v he_o at_o all_o neither_o he_o be_v condemn_v at_o all_o and_o i_o have_v understand_v that_o the_o gospel_n sound_v have_v spread_v through_o the_o earth_n and_o it_o be_v a_o everlasting_a sound_v this_o day_n sound_v in_o the_o ear_n of_o all_o people_n calling_z to_z repentance_n &_o dependence_n upon_o the_o eternal_a god_n in_o christ_n for_o salvation_n and_o the_o stop_v the_o ear_n from_o hear_v this_o glorious_a gospel-sound_n not_o believe_v in_o the_o light_n of_o christ_n jesus_n the_o true_a light_n that_o light_v every_o man_n come_v into_o the_o world_n to_o be_v the_o ground_n of_o condemnation_n now_o i_o say_v i_o have_v think_v this_o unbelief_n have_v be_v the_o same_o ground_n of_o all_o man_n condemnation_n as_o they_o be_v in_o the_o first_o disobedient_a adam_n or_o earthly_a man_n but_o all_o sinner_n be_v not_o in_o that_o state_n by_o william_n haworth_n doctrine_n shut_v up_o in_o unbelief_n and_o therefore_o there_o be_v another_o way_n of_o condemnation_n for_o they_o then_o that_o of_o not_o believe_v in_o christ_n the_o light_n but_o he_o be_v blind_a indeed_o that_o see_v not_o this_o man_n ignorance_n and_o confusion_n in_o the_o thing_n of_o god_n again_o friend_n this_o he_o tell_v i_o in_o the_o hear_n of_o jeremiah_n suift_n and_o another_o man_n that_o god_n ordain_v people_n to_o be_v wicked_a before_o they_o be_v bear_v which_o i_o call_v blasphemy_n and_o sure_o you_o that_o be_v sober_a will_v be_v ashamed_a of_o he_o that_o be_v thus_o full_a of_o confusion_n and_o ignorance_n but_o he_o fall_v very_o furious_o upon_o i_o in_o the_o end_n and_o thrust_v i_o out_o of_o his_o chamber_n because_o i_o will_v have_v endeavour_v his_o welfare_n and_o reclaim_v he_o from_o his_o error_n i_o be_o sure_a i_o have_v no_o other_o end_n in_o my_o heart_n but_o he_o have_v manifest_v the_o spirit_n of_o his_o master_n lucifer_n and_o may_v be_v number_v among_o such_o as_o be_v wicked_a and_o hypocritical_a though_o he_o profess_v liberty_n of_o conscience_n i_o believe_v no_o such_o thing_n from_o he_o &_o such_o of_o his_o spirit_n but_o that_o he_o will_v soon_o i_o have_v good_a ground_n to_o believe_v follow_v his_o brethren_n of_o new-england_n in_o a_o murderous_a spirit_n i_o pray_v god_n bless_v you_o that_o be_v sober_a people_n and_o preserve_v you_o to_o himself_o that_o you_o may_v proceed_v in_o your_o enquiry_n after_o that_o which_o be_v good_a and_o the_o lord_n of_o heaven_n keep_v you_o be_v the_o prayer_n of_o he_o that_o love_v you_o c._n t._n much_o i_o can_v write_v of_o this_o man_n but_o i_o spare_v he_o at_o present_a only_o thus_o much_o lay_v on_o my_o conscience_n to_o present_a to_o you_o at_o this_o
