that_o no_o man_n can_v add_v any_o thing_n to_o it_o but_o then_o for_o comparison_n of_o person_n what_o dotage_n be_v it_o for_o any_o man_n because_o he_o can_v read_v the_o common_a alphabet_n of_o honesty_n and_o a_o pious_a life_n in_o the_o history_n of_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n fine_o allegorise_v as_o be_v conceive_v those_o external_a transaction_n to_o a_o mysterious_a

the_o saviour_n of_o man_n and_o prince_n of_o the_o high_a angelical_a order_n who_o rise_v out_o of_o the_o grave_n by_o the_o omnipotent_a hand_n of_o his_o father_n and_o be_v see_v to_o ascend_v

so_o unmannerly_a as_o to_o place_v himself_o in_o the_o same_o order_n and_o rank_n with_o christ_n the_o son_n of_o god_n because_o he_o have_v get_v some_o fine_a fancy_n and_o phrase_n and_o

every_o body_n be_v bind_v to_o con_v their_o lesson_n according_a to_o their_o book_n and_o it_o be_v a_o fine_a thing_n to_o become_v so_o accurate_o wise_a at_o so_o cheap_a a_o rate_n and_o discover_v who_o be_v spiritual_a or_o who_o be_v the_o carnal_a or_o mere_a moral_a man_n this_o be_v indeed_o the_o folly_n of_o all_o sect_n and_o there_o be_v no_o way_n better_o that_o i_o know_v to_o be_v free_v from_o such_o inveiglement_n then_o by_o earnest_o endeavour_v after_o that_o which_o they_o all_o pretend_v to_o and_o to_o become_v true_o more_o holy_a and_o sincere_a than_o

my_o saviour_n and_o the_o good_a and_o safety_n of_o his_o church_n for_o if_o man_n once_o get_v a_o trick_n to_o call_v the_o world_n christian_n where_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n on_o the_o cross_n at_o jerusalem_n be_v not_o acknowledge_v a_o sacrifice_n for_o sin_n nor_o himself_o now_o in_o his_o humane_a person_n a_o mediator_n with_o god_n the_o father_n and_o the_o head_n of_o his_o church_n militant_a and_o triumphant_a nor_o that_o there_o be_v any_o eternal_a life_n nor_o resurrection_n but_o that_o in_o the_o moral_a or_o mystical_a sense_n assure_o this_o will_v prove_v the_o most_o dangerous_a way_n imaginable_a quite_o to_o take_v away_o that_o in_o time_n which_o be_v most_o proper_o call_v christian_n religion_n out_o of_o the_o world_n and_o to_o leave_v mere_o the_o name_n thereof_o behind_o but_o a_o religion_n so_o manifest_o establish_v by_o god_n in_o a_o most_o miraculous_a manner_n and_o be_v so_o perfect_a that_o the_o wit_n of_o man_n can_v imagine_v any_o thing_n more_o complete_a and_o better_o fit_v for_o win_a soul_n to_o god_n it_o can_v be_v nothing_o but_o giddiness_n or_o light-mindedness_a to_o think_v that_o this_o religion_n can_v be_v ever_o superannuated_a in_o the_o world_n but_o that_o it_o shall_v last_v till_o christ_n corporeal_a appearance_n in_o the_o cloud_n for_o there_o be_v no_o reason_n at_o all_o that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n shall_v be_v think_v to_o come_v in_o the_o flesh_n of_o some_o particular_a man_n no_o more_o than_o god_n the_o father_n do_v under_o the_o law_n for_o what_o can_v he_o tell_v we_o more_o or_o better_o than_o christ_n already_o have_v tell_v we_o or_o what_o himself_o may_v tell_v we_o without_o any_o personal_a shape_n and_o there_o be_v no_o prophecy_n of_o any_o such_o thing_n but_o only_o of_o that_o which_o be_v better_o that_o christ_n will_v procure_v for_o all_o those_o that_o be_v his_o faithful_a and_o obedient_a follower_n the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n and_o righteousness_n and_o endue_v they_o with_o the_o divine_a life_n and_o that_o it_o shall_v so_o at_o length_n come_v to_o pass_v that_o justice_n peace_n and_o equity_n shall_v more_o universal_o and_o full_o flourish_v in_o the_o world_n than_o ever_o yet_o they_o have_v do_v and_o that_o faith_n in_o god_n and_o of_o the_o life_n to_o come_v shall_v be_v more_o vigorous_o seal_v upon_o the_o

all_o thing_n work_v towards_o this_o last_o catastraphe_n and_o the_o head_n of_o sect_n themselves_o though_o i_o never_o see_v any_o yet_o that_o my_o light_n and_o judgement_n can_v pronounce_v

ordinary_a carnal_a church_n as_o they_o call_v they_o that_o some_o head_n of_o sect_n i_o say_v have_v speak_v very_o true_a and_o weighty_a thing_n against_o they_o very_o lively_o set_v they_o out_o &_o depainting_n they_o in_o their_o own_o colour_n insomuch_o that_o they_o will_v be_v able_a not_o only_o to_o turn_v from_o they_o the_o affection_n of_o all_o plain_a heart_a man_n that_o
