shall_v find_v you_o to_o do_v the_o like_a for_o it_o do_v not_o stand_v with_o a_o right_a quaker_n principle_n to_o believe_v that_o the_o same_o flesh_n and_o bone_n of_o christ_n which_o suffer_v

and_o be_v both_o in_o heaven_n together_o if_o so_o how_o be_v it_o possible_a that_o the_o quaker_n shall_v get_v christ_n within_o they_o for_o if_o christ_n be_v a_o distinct_a person_n of_o himself_o of_o substance_n flesh_n and_o bone_n though_o a_o spiritual_a body_n now_o in_o heaven_n how_o come_v christ_n to_o get_v his_o spiritual_a body_n into_o every_o quaker_n body_n and_o every_o man_n body_n else_o for_o the_o scripture_n say_v that_o the_o heaven_n shall_v contain_v he_o until_o the_o restitution_n of_o all_o thing_n mean_v that_o body_n of_o flesh_n and_o bone_n so_o that_o the_o person_n of_o christ_n or_o his_o essence_n can_v be_v in_o this_o world_n at_o all_o much_o less_o in_o the_o quaker_n body_n nay_o he_o be_v not_o in_o i_o though_o he_o have_v choose_v i_o to_o be_v his_o messenger_n to_o declare_v what_o he_o be_v in_o his_o form_n and_o nature_n as_o have_v be_v abundant_o declare_v in_o our_o write_n therefore_o do_v not_o you_o say_v that_o it_o be_v a_o slander_n and_o a_o lie_n for_o i_o to_o say_v that_o you_o be_v the_o very_a absolute_a spirit_n of_o antichrist_n that_o do_v deny_v both_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n for_o though_o you_o talk_v of_o a_o christ_n and_o of_o his_o be_v the_o express_a image_n of_o his_o father_n person_n and_o of_o a_o holy_a ghost_n because_o you_o read_v of_o such_o thing_n in_o scripture_n which_o be_v other_o man_n word_n so_o you_o read_v of_o they_o have_v jumble_v the_o father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n together_o and_o so_o in_o stead_n of_o one_o person_n you_o have_v get_v three_o person_n and_o yet_o never_o a_o person_n for_o i_o be_o sure_a when_o i_o talk_v with_o john_n perrot_n about_o god_n he_o can_v find_v never_o a_o person_n but_o a_o infinite_a spirit_n without_o a_o body_n or_o person_n at_o all_o all_o the_o quaker_n that_o ever_o i_o have_v have_v to_o do_v withal_o which_o have_v be_v a_o great_a many_o i_o can_v never_o find_v any_o quaker_n to_o own_o god_n to_o be_v a_o person_n in_o the_o form_n of_o a_o man_n but_o a_o infinite_a spirit_n that_o fill_v heaven_n and_o earth_n and_o all_o place_n and_o all_o thing_n and_o so_o do_v the_o pope_n and_o all_o other_o opinion_n that_o be_v which_o do_v show_v the_o darkness_n of_o the_o quaker_n and_o the_o pope_n and_o all_o other_o for_o if_o god_n be_v a_o person_n in_o the_o form_n of_o a_o man_n as_o i_o be_o sure_a he_o be_v for_o i_o do_v acknowledge_v no_o other_o god_n but_o the_o man_n christ_n jesus_n who_o be_v a_o distinct_a body_n of_o flesh_n and_o bone_n of_o his_o own_o how_o then_o can_v he_o fill_v heaven_n and_o earth_n with_o his_o presence_n and_o get_v into_o the_o quaker_n body_n and_o all_o other_o people_n body_n too_o and_o yet_o he_o be_v in_o heaven_n above_o the_o star_n which_o heaven_n must_v retain_v he_o until_o the_o last_o day_n from_o this_o body_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v the_o only_a god_n have_v i_o power_n over_o all_o

unfold_v beside_o it_o be_v declare_v already_o in_o our_o write_n there_o be_v one_o blasphemous_a say_v of_o you_o through_o your_o ignorance_n of_o the_o scripture_n in_o this_o letter_n of_o you_o you_o say_v that_o you_o do_v own_o christ_n according_a to_o the_o flesh_n he_o be_v of_o abraham_n which_o be_v blasphemy_n to_o say_v it_o be_v quite_o contrary_a to_o the_o scripture_n for_o those_o jew_n that_o persecute_a christ_n be_v according_a to_o the_o flesh_n the_o child_n of_o abraham_n therefore_o it_o be_v they_o say_v we_o have_v abraham_n for_o our_o father_n and_o never_o be_v in_o bondage_n to_o any_o for_o indeed_o all_o those_o that_o be_v the_o child_n of_o abraham_n according_a to_o the_o flesh_n be_v the_o child_n of_o the_o devil_n or_o of_o the_o serpent_n

the_o spirit_n and_o so_o according_a to_o the_o faith_n of_o abraham_n of_o which_o christ_n come_v and_o so_o the_o seed_n of_o faith_n may_v say_v true_o they_o be_v bone_n of_o his_o bone_n and_o

may_v be_v say_v indeed_o to_o be_v bone_n of_o his_o bone_n and_o flesh_n of_o his_o
father_n person_n which_o if_o it_o be_v but_o open_v it_o will_v utter_o destroy_v their_o own_o principle_n of_o the_o light_n of_o christ_n within_o they_o which_o they_o be_v very_o angry_a with_o i_o for_o say_v that_o the_o light_n within_o they_o will_v vanish_v like_o smoke_n which_o they_o will_v find_v to_o be_v true_a but_o i_o shall_v go_v to_o the_o next_o 6._o you_o say_v i_o write_v

of_o the_o flesh_n and_o now_o i_o say_v you_o think_v by_o a_o precise_a and_o exactness_n of_o life_n to_o recover_v your_o peace_n with_o god_n and_o yet_o deny_v the_o very_a person_n of_o god_n without_o you_o your_o answer_n to_o this_o sentence_n of_o i_o be_v something_o large_a but_o most_o of_o it_o rail_v and_o rehearse_v the_o same_o word_n as_o be_v speak_v before_o for_o you_o

person_n and_o yet_o all_o this_o while_o you_o can_v find_v out_o any_o person_n of_o god_n at_o all_o only_o you_o have_v get_v paul_n word_n and_o run_v away_o with_o they_o as_o a_o dog_n do_v with_o a_o bone_n for_o the_o letter_n of_o the_o scripture_n be_v cast_v down_o as_o a_o bone_n by_o the_o prophet_n apostle_n and_o christ_n himself_o for_o how_o will_v quaker_n have_v do_v to_o

that_o be_v turn_v to_o god_n and_o christ_n in_o the_o quaker_n way_n they_o have_v better_o have_v keep_v themselves_o where_o they_o be_v for_o before_o they_o be_v in_o the_o wilderness_n but_o
