worship_v he_o after_o the_o strict_a manner_n than_o hold_v forth_o and_o this_o from_o our_o infancy_n and_o upon_o what_o ground_n thou_o shall_v charge_v we_o with_o be_v jesuit_n and_o papist_n

that_o saint_n must_v deny_v the_o world_n and_o forsake_v sin_n and_o the_o evil_a of_o the_o world_n these_o doctrine_n and_o practice_n with_o many_o other_o they_o do_v hold_v in_o word_n and_o appearance_n which_o be_v save_v doctrine_n and_o practice_n in_o themselves_o though_o not_o to_o they_o but_o because_o they_o hold_v these_o thing_n must_v the_o people_n of_o god_n either_o deny_v these_o doctrine_n and_o practice_n or_o else_o be_v account_v jesuit_n and_o papist_n for_o hold_v of_o they_o and_o will_v not_o this_o be_v unrighteous_a judgement_n according_a to_o which_o thou_o have_v judge_v we_o but_o i_o must_v tell_v thou_o we_o do_v hold_v the_o truth_n in_o righteousness_n both_o in_o doctrine_n and_o practice_n even_o upon_o this_o account_n because_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n have_v and_o do_v lead_v we_o into_o all_o truth_n both_o in_o doctrine_n and_o practice_n and_o though_o the_o papist_n may_v hold_v the_o profession_n of_o the_o same_o truth_n in_o word_n and_o outward_a appearance_n yet_o this_o be_v no_o ground_n for_o we_o to_o deny_v the_o truth_n as_o it_o be_v in_o jesus_n nor_o yet_o a_o sufficient_a ground_n for_o thou_o to_o accuse_v we_o to_o be_v papist_n but_o because_o thou_o be_v both_o ignorant_a and_o wicked_a therefore_o thou_o have_v thus_o proceed_v and_o thy_o work_n be_v a_o very_a scorn_n to_o many_o that_o be_v not_o quaker_n and_o they_o see_v thy_o error_n and_o ignorance_n in_o thy_o proceed_n and_o will_v thou_o thus_o be_v deal_v withal_o and_o you_o priest_n of_o england_n shall_v we_o judge_v

conclude_v lawful_o that_o all_o the_o minister_n of_o england_n and_o their_o people_n be_v papist_n oh_o man_n behold_v thy_o folly_n and_o what_o a_o snare_n thou_o have_v lay_v for_o thyself_o and_o how_o thou_o be_v fall_v into_o the_o pit_n which_o thou_o have_v dig_v for_o other_o and_o further_o consider_v some_o of_o those_o doctrine_n and_o practice_n which_o thou_o have_v charge_v upon_o we_o be_v provable_a and_o exemplary_a in_o the_o scripture_n even_o by_o the_o apostle_n who_o hold_v forth_o and_o practise_v the_o same_o thing_n and_o because_o we_o hold_v and_o practice_v the_o same_o therefore_o we_o be_v account_v papist_n from_o this_o rule_n because_o the_o papist_n profess_v the_o same_o like_a as_o if_o it_o be_v error_n to_o say_v christ_n be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n because_o the_o devil_n say_v so_o and_o like_a as_o if_o it_o be_v a_o error_n to_o believe_v there_o be_v a_o god_n because_o the_o devil_n believe_v so_o and_o by_o thy_o false_a propose_a

believe_v there_o be_v a_o god_n and_o therefore_o they_o be_v devil_n and_o will_v this_o be_v good_a logic_n and_o such_o be_v thy_o logic_n thou_o illiterate_a man_n why_o this_o be_v thy_o work_n the_o papist_n they_o hold_v such_o and_o such_o thing_n and_o the_o quaker_n they_o hold_v the_o same_o and_o therefore_o the_o quaker_n be_v papist_n behold_v the_o substance_n of_o thy_o work_n thou_o vain_a man_n thou_o and_o thy_o work_n be_v both_o ridiculous_a to_o sober-minded_n people_n now_o indeed_o if_o thou_o can_v have_v instance_a such_o doctrine_n and_o practice_n hold_v forth_o

of_o the_o earth_n and_o whereas_o it_o be_v manifest_a to_o i_o that_o there_o be_v a_o great_a dissatisfaction_n in_o the_o spirit_n of_o people_n in_o this_o town_n and_o country_n hereabout_o
