the_o proof_n of_o my_o charge_n against_o the_o quaker_n will_v not_o depend_v upon_o such_o nice_a and_o disputable_a premise_n but_o if_o there_o be_v any_o such_o thing_n as_o idolatry_n in_o

within_o every_o man_n have_v not_o power_n in_o it_o to_o dispose_v of_o the_o way_n of_o a_o man_n therefore_o it_o be_v not_o god_n the_o first_o proposition_n will_v be_v grant_v by_o all_o who_o

that_o which_o be_v not_o infinite_a and_o immense_a or_o without_o 6._o or_o beyond_o measure_n be_v not_o god_n but_o the_o light_n within_o every_o man_n be_v not_o infinite_a and_o immense_a or_o

of_o the_o truth_n of_o what_o i_o here_o affirm_v mark_v what_o follow_v they_o be_v false_a minister_v who_o preach_v christ_n 9_o without_o and_o bid_v people_n believe_v in_o he_o as_o he_o be_v

have_v with_o the_o west_n so_o that_o the_o quaker_n christ_n the_o light_n within_o be_v not_o only_o some_o part_n of_o the_o true_a christ_n who_o may_v as_o christ_n be_v without_o as_o well_o
