hosanna_n to_o the_o mutable_a direction_n of_o the_o pulpit_n w._n t._n i_o confess_v i_o have_v be_v something_o put_v to_o it_o to_o determine_v whether_o i_o shall_v say_v any_o thing_n to_o you_o

that_o i_o intend_v viz_o that_o the_o servant_n of_o god_n of_o old_a do_v and_o still_o occasional_o do_v quake_v and_o tremble_v before_o the_o lord_n but_o you_o say_v they_o receive_v no_o

produce_v such_o pitiful_a stuff_n as_o this_o for_o my_o part_n i_o can_v imagine_v what_o you_o can_v intend_v by_o it_o unless_o it_o be_v to_o fill_v up_o paper_n and_o keep_v your_o pen_n in_o action_n what_o will_v you_o conclude_v thence_o unless_o you_o will_v reason_v thus_o because_o they_o that_o now_o tremble_v at_o the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n as_o moses_n and_o ezekiel_n do_v be_v by_o the_o world_n in_o scorn_n call_v quaker_n therefore_o tremble_v at_o the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v a_o hateful_a thing_n because_o we_o read_v that_o the_o disciple_n from_o their_o faith_n in_o christ_n and_o profession_n of_o his_o name_n receive_v the_o denomination_n of_o christian_n can_v that_o be_v bring_v as_o a_o argument_n against_o faith_n in_o christ_n and_o a_o serious_a profession_n of_o his_o name_n and_o as_o for_o make_v a_o trade_n of_o tremble_a or_o quake_v i_o never_o mention_v any_o such_o thing_n neither_o do_v i_o understand_v what_o you_o intend_v by_o this_o impertinency_n of_o speech_n unless_o to_o reproach_v those_o that_o daily_o walk_v low_a in_o the_o fear_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o if_o so_o i_o say_v to_o you_o let_v the_o

as_o the_o handicraft_n man_n make_v his_o ware_n and_o expose_v they_o to_o sale_n in_o the_o market_n so_o you_o do_v compile_v your_o sermon_n gather_v a_o shred_v out_o of_o one_o author_n and_o

therefore_o you_o appeal_v from_o the_o express_a scripture_n to_o your_o own_o consequence_n and_o deduction_n thence_o which_o you_o make_v the_o lame_a shift_n when_o the_o scripture_n will_v not_o

of_o who_o they_o have_v not_o hear_v you_o may_v have_v find_v a_o answer_n if_o you_o have_v look_v a_o little_a further_o viz._n in_o the_o 18_o verse_n where_o it_o be_v write_v but_o i_o say_v

roman_n convince_a they_o of_o and_o condemn_v they_o for_o sin_n though_o it_o be_v keep_v under_o and_o hold_v in_o unrighteousness_n 2_o querie_n whether_o that_o which_o leave_v they_o without_o excuse_n do_v not_o also_o reveal_v to_o they_o the_o way_n to_o life_n which_o if_o it_o have_v not_o do_v whether_o have_v they_o not_o be_v excusable_a 3_o querie_n whether_o be_v they_o condemn_v because_o they_o know_v not_o god_n or_o for_o disobedience_n against_o the_o light_n they_o have_v in_o that_o they_o glorify_v he_o not_o as_o god_n according_a to_o the_o measure_n of_o light_n they_o have_v receive_v 4_o querie_n if_o they_o have_v obey_v and_o glorify_v god_n according_a to_o that_o measure_n of_o light_n and_o knowledge_n they_o have_v receive_v whether_o have_v they_o be_v condemn_v and_o now_o i_o be_o come_v to_o your_o last_o dart_n you_o shoot_v at_o i_o which_o you_o discharge_v with_o so_o much_o passion_n as_o if_o you_o have_v reserve_v the_o very_a bottom_n of_o the_o rancour_n of_o your_o spirit_n as_o the_o sharp_a stone_n to_o throw_v at_o i_o in_o conclusion_n accuse_v i_o of_o rail_a and_o use_v groundless_a and_o insolent_a exclamation_n with_o many_o other_o expression_n savour_v of_o much_o fury_n and_o bitterness_n now_o whether_o i_o be_o become_v thus_o your_o enemy_n for_o tell_v you_o the_o truth_n or_o the_o contrary_a i_o shall_v leave_v to_o be_v determine_v by_o all_o that_o live_v in_o the_o fear_n of_o the_o lord_n from_o what_o follow_v the_o thing_n that_o i_o charge_v you_o with_o be_v the_o denial_n of_o jesus_n christ_n to_o be_v within_o we_o which_o charge_n i_o ground_v on_o these_o word_n of_o you_o viz._n the_o scripture_n say_v that_o we_o be_v justify_v free_o by_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n through_o the_o redemption_n and_o righteousness_n of_o jesus_n christ_n which_o be_v not_o within_o we_o but_o without_o we_o now_o the_o thing_n in_o controversy_n betwixt_o you_o and_o myself_o be_v in_o which_o of_o these_o two_o order_n these_o word_n must_v be_v read_v either_o thus_o which_o redemption_n and_o righteousness_n be_v not_o within_o we_o or_o which_o jesus_n christ_n be_v not_o within_o we_o you_o will_v have_v they_o to_o save_v yourself_o out_o of_o the_o mire_n to_o be_v read_v in_o the_o former_a order_n viz._n which_o redemption_n and_o righteousness_n be_v not_o within_o we_o which_o be_v suppose_v i_o demand_v of_o you_o two_o thing_n 1_o what_o number_n be_v the_o word_n which_o the_o singular_a or_o the_o plural_a the_o singular_a you_o can_v say_v unless_o you_o will_v destroy_v your_o grammar_n which_o say_v that_o many_o antecedent_n singular_a have_v a_o conjunction_n copulative_a come_n between_o they_o will_v have_v a_o relative_a plural_a this_o be_v grant_v that_o the_o word_n which_o be_v the_o plural_a number_n i_o demand_v 2_o what_o be_v the_o nominative_a case_n to_o the_o verb_n be_v for_o who_o you_o can_v find_v no_o other_o but_o the_o word_n which_o and_o that_o be_v the_o plural_a number_n and_o the_o verb_n be_v the_o singular_a number_n pray_v produce_v i_o some_o rule_n in_o your_o grammar_n that_o allow_v any_o concord_n betwixt_o a_o verb_n of_o the_o singular_a number_n and_o a_o nominative_a case_n of_o the_o plural_a so_o that_o i_o do_v appeal_n to_o all_o that_o be_v soberminded_n whether_o any_o man_n take_v your_o word_n plain_o and_o honest_o as_o they_o lie_v without_o alter_v or_o wrest_v they_o can_v or_o can_v read_v they_o any_o otherwise_o then_o as_o i_o do_v in_o the_o second_o order_n

your_o pen_n i_o shall_v have_v be_v content_o silent_a as_o know_v myself_o not_o exempt_v from_o all_o mistake_v but_o since_o you_o stand_v to_o own_o the_o expression_n as_o it_o lie_v and_o do_v throw_v much_o dirt_n of_o reproach_n and_o false_a accusation_n upon_o i_o for_o take_v your_o word_n aright_o according_a as_o they_o be_v write_v let_v i_o tell_v you_o again_o that_o whatever_o you_o intend_v yet_o your_o line_n as_o they_o be_v write_v do_v blasphemous_o deny_v jesus_n christ_n to_o be_v in_o we_o and_o therefore_o you_o may_v well_o have_v spare_v your_o follow_a word_n which_o be_v these_o w._n t._n whereby_o it_o clear_o appear_v that_o i_o never_o say_v that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v not_o within_o we_o but_o only_o that_o the_o redemption_n and_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n by_o which_o we_o be_v justify_v be_v not_o within_o we_o but_o without_o we_o and_o against_o that_o you_o say_v you_o can_v say_v nothing_o t._n s._n whether_o you_o do_v say_v that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v not_o within_o we_o or_o not_o i_o shall_v leave_v to_o all_o that_o be_v serious_a to_o be_v determine_v and_o also_o whether_o your_o repetition_n of_o your_o own_o word_n be_v not_o sufficient_a evidence_n against_o yourself_o and_o therefore_o i_o shall_v spare_v to_o speak_v aught_o more_o touch_v that_o and_o shall_v admit_v your_o expression_n to_o be_v according_a to_o what_o you_o say_v you_o intend_v viz._n that_o the_o righteousness_n and_o redemption_n of_o jesus_n christ_n be_v not_o within_o we_o but_o without_o we_o against_o which_o you_o say_v that_o i_o say_v i_o can_v say_v nothing_o of_o which_o your_o expression_n i_o will_v glad_o make_v the_o best_a interpretation_n and_o therefore_o shall_v not_o take_v it_o as_o intend_v thus_o much_o that_o
