heed_n to_o a_o light_n within_o and_o to_o desert_n all_o teach_n of_o man_n in_o answer_n whereunto_o he_o produce_v luke_o 11.35_o 36._o where_o he_o tell_v i_o i_o may_v see_v the_o counsel_n of_o the_o only_a teacher_n now_o the_o word_n of_o the_o scripture_n be_v take_v heed_n therefore_o that_o the_o light_n which_o be_v in_o thou_o be_v not_o darkness_n if_o thy_o whole_a body_n therefore_o be_v full_a of_o light_n have_v no_o part_n dark_a the_o whole_a shall_v be_v full_a of_o light_n as_o when_o the_o bright_a shine_a of_o a_o candle_n do_v give_v thou_o light_n now_o these_o scripture_n be_v good_a and_o true_a but_o i_o appeal_v to_o the_o reader_n whether_o there_o be_v any_o one_o word_n or_o syllable_n in_o they_o that_o require_v we_o to_o desert_n the_o teach_n of_o man_n as_o a_o mean_n to_o get_v translate_v out_o of_o darkness_n into_o his_o glorious_a light_n and_o again_o i_o question_v he_o where_o the_o scripture_n say_v that_o he_o that_o be_v the_o light_n of_o the_o world_n and_o lighten_v every_o one_o that_o come_v into_o the_o world_n do_v inlighten_v all_o sufficient_o and_o so_o as_o to_o guide_v they_o infallible_o or_o that_o he_o inlightn_v all_o alike_o and_o that_o immediate_o without_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o scripture_n or_o the_o teach_n of_o man_n so_o as_o they_o need_v not_o to_o teach_v one_o another_o say_v know_v the_o lord_n because_o all_o do_v know_v he_o from_o the_o great_a of_o they_o even_o to_o the_o least_o of_o they_o be_v the_o case_n so_o now_o that_o all_o know_v he_o what_o need_n be_v there_o then_o of_o the_o teach_n of_o james_n naylor_n and_o his_o complice_n if_o their_o light_n within_o they_o be_v sufficient_a it_o can_v teach_v they_o all_o that_o he_o do_v and_o all_o that_o he_o know_v and_o how_o to_o eye_v it_o only_o and_o to_o look_v within_o for_o light_n and_o to_o desert_n and_o despise_v the_o teach_n of_o man_n as_o so_o he_o do_v and_o what_o else_o do_v he_o teach_v which_o be_v not_o teach_v by_o man_n from_o sacred_a scripture_n and_o with_o more_o spirit_n and_o power_n than_o he_o teach_v any_o thing_n and_o far_o more_o rational_o and_o convince_o in_o the_o clear_a evidence_n and_o demonstration_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o do_v he_o not_o herein_o teach_v man_n to_o despise_v his_o teach_n also_o etc._n etc._n to_o the_o first_o part_n of_o which_o question_n he_o answer_v to_o wit_n i_o say_v joh._n 8.12_o to_o wit_n i_o be_o the_o light_n of_o the_o world_n he_o that_o follow_v i_o shall_v not_o walk_v in_o darkness_n but_o shall_v have_v the_o light_n of_o life_n and_o there_o say_v he_o thou_o may_v read_v that_o he_o that_o be_v the_o light_n of_o the_o world_n his_o light_n be_v sufficient_a to_o all_o that_o mind_n and_o follow_v it_o i_o answer_v i_o never_o deny_v the_o sufficiency_n of_o his_o power_n and_o light_n to_o they_o that_o have_v sufficient_a of_o it_o but_o the_o question_n be_v whether_o he_o do_v and_o will_v do_v it_o to_o all_o or_o no_o of_o all_o which_o this_o scripture_n speak_v not_o one_o word_n nor_o that_o man_n ought_v to_o desert_v the_o teach_n of_o man_n and_o therefore_o as_o i_o tell_v he_o pag._n 19_o the_o question_n do_v not_o lie_v whether_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n be_v a_o infallible_a guide_n yea_o or_o no._n but_o whether_o james_n naylor_n and_o other_o be_v infallible_o guide_v by_o that_o infallible_a spirit_n yea_o or_o no_o in_o all_o thing_n that_o they_o do_v but_o to_o this_o he_o turn_v the_o deaf_a ear_n and_o say_v most_o false_o that_o i_o plead_v against_o the_o sufficiency_n of_o the_o light_n of_o christ_n but_o i_o suppose_v he_o be_v ashamed_a to_o meddle_v with_o a_o argument_n that_o he_o can_v answer_v least_o discover_v his_o weakness_n shall_v prove_v he_o fallible_a among_o the_o quaker_n and_o that_o he_o have_v very_o little_a of_o the_o light_n of_o christ_n but_o of_o that_o which_o come_v from_o another_o spirit_n and_o again_o he_o blame_v i_o because_o i_o say_v that_o satan_n be_v willing_a to_o clothe_v we_o with_o good_a work_n and_o doctrine_n and_o that_o his_o minister_n be_v transform_v into_o minister_n of_o righteousness_n and_o thou_o say_v thou_o can_v but_o rejoice_v to_o see_v he_o play_v that_o card_n to_o which_o he_o answer_v cease_v thy_o babble_n and_o see_v thy_o confusion_n be_v he_o satan_n with_o thou_o who_o clothes_n with_o good_a work_n and_o doctrine_n and_o who_o minister_n be_v minister_n of_o righteousness_n satan_n be_v not_o so_o divide_v against_o himself_o nor_o his_o minister_n against_o their_o own_o kingdom_n though_o as_o to_o righteousness_n they_o pretend_v but_o a_o righteous_a life_n good_a word_n and_o good_a doctrine_n he_o that_o bring_v

simple_a and_o especial_o on_o condition_n that_o he_o may_v but_o establish_v their_o doctrine_n and_o draw_v man_n off_o from_o the_o use_n of_o mean_n and_o ordinance_n and_o from_o the_o teach_n of_o man_n and_o to_o neglect_v the_o scripture_n for_o this_o will_v still_o continue_v and_o increase_v his_o kingdom_n unto_o all_o generation_n etc._n etc._n as_o it_o be_v further_o discuss_v and_o argue_v with_o reason_n that_o he_o can_v never_o evade_v but_o be_v in_o a_o passion_n like_o a_o angry_a cur_n he_o must_v needs_o show_v his_o tooth_n though_o he_o can_v bite_v and_o let_v any_o rational_a man_n judge_n whether_o he_o do_v not_o show_v his_o tooth_n against_o the_o scripture_n itself_o which_o say_v plain_o and_o no_o marvel_n for_o satan_n himself_o be_v transform_v into_o a_o angel_n of_o light_n therefore_o it_o be_v no_o great_a thing_n if_o his_o minister_n also_o be_v transform_v as_o the_o minister_n of_o righteousness_n who_o end_n shall_v be_v according_a to_o their_o work_n see_v 2_o cor._n 11.14_o 15._o do_v he_o not_o plain_o contradict_v these_o text_n when_o he_o say_v satan_n be_v not_o so_o divide_v against_o himself_o nor_o his_o minister_n against_o their_o own_o kingdom_n how_o manifest_a be_v the_o hand_n of_o satan_n in_o this_o clear_a contradiction_n to_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n by_o who_o he_o will_v not_o deny_v but_o the_o apostle_n speak_v and_o yet_o he_o dare_v be_v his_o instrument_n in_o write_v for_o he_o and_o again_o he_o say_v thou_o will_v compare_v we_o to_o the_o papist_n who_o keep_v people_n from_o the_o

every_o one_o have_v need_v but_o james_n naylor_n dare_v though_o he_o have_v his_o ground_n to_o seek_v for_o he_o show_v no_o reason_n worth_n mention_v i_o suppose_v he_o be_v afraid_a with_o judas_n lest_o he_o shall_v not_o seem_v charitable_a to_o the_o poor_a for_o under_o pretence_n of_o the_o poor_a so_o he_o can_v keep_v it_o from_o the_o minister_n of_o christ_n and_o so_o from_o

for_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o he_o account_v no_o poor_a deserve_n nor_o no_o minister_n deserve_v but_o the_o quaker_n poor_a and_o minister_n though_o he_o say_v if_o they_o be_v find_v

that_o i_o plead_v for_o or_o ever_o intend_v it_o to_o wit_n such_o as_o be_v find_v to_o be_v minister_n of_o christ_n nor_o have_v i_o in_o the_o least_o plead_v for_o any_o other_o if_o they_o

that_o yet_o be_v clear_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n but_o i_o be_o not_o so_o omnitient_a yet_o if_o i_o hear_v they_o preach_v in_o the_o clear_a evidence_n and_o demonstration_n of_o the_o
