in_o many_o thing_n leave_v we_o without_o either_o counsel_n or_o instruction_n and_o here_o i_o shall_v leave_v this_o point_n which_o be_v in_o answer_n to_o a_o accusation_n which_o be_v that_o we_o deny_v the_o scripture_n a_o thing_n often_o charge_v upon_o but_o never_o prove_v against_o the_o people_n call_v quaker_n chap._n ii_o concern_v the_o humanity_n of_o christ_n etc._n etc._n a_o second_o charge_v which_o i_o have_v hear_v bring_v in_o against_o the_o quaker_n be_v that_o they_o deny_v the_o humanity_n of_o christ_n jesus_n and_o the_o obedience_n that_o he_o yield_v in_o the_o day_n of_o his_o flesh_n by_o his_o suffering_n death_n buriel_n resurrection_n from_o the_o dead_a together_o with_o all_o the_o benefit_n that_o thereby_o accrue_v unto_o believer_n as_o

to_o prove_v by_o scripture_n but_o first_o let_v i_o mind_v the_o reader_n this_o i_o have_v observe_v viz._n that_o there_o be_v many_o that_o have_v bear_v false_a witness_n against_o they_o yet_o they_o do_v not_o seem_v to_o accord_v in_o their_o witness_n for_o first_o come_v out_o a_o learned_a doctor_n independent_a and_o he_o declare_v public_o though_o somewhat_o ambiguous_o that_o this_o people_n deny_v that_o christ_n which_o die_v at_o jerusalem_n to_o be_v god_n equal_a with_o the_o father_n but_o when_o this_o be_v refute_v so_o as_o not_o to_o be_v believe_v then_o come_v out_o another_o faldo_n and_o he_o will_v give_v the_o world_n to_o know_v as_o if_o they_o only_o deny_v the_o son_n of_o god_n to_o have_v assume_v humane_a or_o man_n nature_n thus_o their_o accuser_n contradict_v one_o another_o for_o both_o seem_v to_o grant_v we_o own_o a_o christ_n which_o well_o they_o may_v do_v since_o they_o differ_v in_o principle_n among_o themselves_o how_o ever_o they_o agree_v thus_o far_o like_a herod_n and_o pilate_n to_o unite_v against_o jesus_n so_o have_v they_o against_o his_o follower_n but_o i_o need_v not_o enlarge_v upon_o particular_n
