because_o he_o mention_n not_o one_o argument_n bring_v by_o i_o at_o that_o time_n in_o favour_n to_o it_o but_o in_o stead_n thereof_o charge_v i_o with_o something_o that_o i_o never_o say_v

according_o he_o be_v bear_v in_o the_o same_o place_n this_o i_o do_v answer_v at_o that_o time_n though_o he_o have_v leave_v it_o out_o and_o yet_o omission_n of_o any_o thing_n that_o he_o say_v be_v count_v a_o evil_a the_o next_o thing_n be_v that_o i_o say_v the_o faith_n by_o which_o a_o man_n be_v save_v be_v not_o the_o gift_n of_o god_n to_o this_o i_o do_v answer_v then_o and_o so_o i_o do_v now_o that_o it_o be_v not_o so_o the_o gift_n of_o god_n as_o you_o imagine_v by_o your_o enthusiastical_a dotage_n as_o that_o man_n shall_v meet_v together_o and_o neither_o say_v nor_o do_v towards_o the_o work_n of_o faith_n till_o they_o be_v immediate_o inspire_v with_o your_o quake_a dotage_n in_o this_o sense_n i_o do_v still_o deny_v faith_n to_o be_v god_n gift_n yet_o in_o the_o sense_n that_o all_o those_o scripture_n say_v faith_n be_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n i_o do_v free_o own_v it_o as_o my_o book_n do_v declare_v page_n 37._o wherein_n i_o have_v these_o word_n that_o man_n have_v nothing_o but_o what_o they_o have_v receive_v especial_o any_o light_n or_o knowledge_n of_o jesus_n christ_n according_a to_o 1_o cor._n 4.7_o the_o next_o be_v that_o i_o say_v the_o obedience_n of_o believer_n be_v not_o the_o gift_n of_o god_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v as_o before_z that_o we_o be_v at_o that_o time_n discourse_v about_o the_o point_n of_o baptism_n and_o i_o then_o assert_v that_o god_n be_v to_o be_v obey_v in_o that_o as_o well_o as_o other_o of_o his_o command_n thou_o do_v answer_v that_o they_o must_v wait_v till_o obedience_n be_v give_v they_o to_o which_o i_o do_v reply_v that_o god_n do_v not_o give_v obedience_n to_o his_o people_n in_o the_o way_n that_o thou_o do_v expect_v it_o as_o to_o sit_v still_o and_o do_v nothing_o till_o man_n be_v immediate_o inspire_v to_o it_o and_o in_o this_o sense_n i_o do_v still_o deny_v that_o obedience_n be_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n though_o i_o do_v believe_v and_o be_o general_o know_v to_o teach_v that_o to_o he_o that_o have_v improve_v his_o talon_n god_n will_v give_v more_o and_o that_o he_o that_o do_v his_o will_n shall_v know_v of_o his_o doctrine_n and_o in_o this_o sense_n i_o do_v believe_v obedience_n to_o be_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n according_a to_o those_o scripture_n by_o you_o allege_v and_o yet_o i_o say_v none_o of_o those_o scripture_n prove_v your_o obedient_a action_n which_o you_o so_o call_v to_o be_v god_n gift_n you_o go_v on_o and_o say_v that_o i_o say_v whosoever_o speak_v that_o which_o man_n understand_v not_o be_v a_o fool_n and_o a_o barbarian_a lie_n his_o 9_o lie_n these_o be_v not_o the_o word_n james_n but_o indeed_o when_o thou_o have_v speak_v a_o great_a while_n to_o we_o and_o then_o at_o last_o when_o i_o make_v some_o reply_n upon_o thy_o word_n thou_o do_v answer_v that_o thou_o speak_v in_o a_o language_n that_o i_o can_v not_o understand_v and_o so_o thou_o say_v upon_o the_o like_a occasion_n at_o our_o meeting_n in_o

that_o he_o that_o speak_v in_o a_o unknown_a tongue_n be_v a_o barbarian_a and_o if_o i_o say_v a_o fool_n i_o think_v i_o may_v 〈◊〉_d prove_v it_o not_o but_o that_o i_o do_v then_o and_o do_v still_o believe_v that_o christ_n speak_v many_o thing_n and_o so_o do_v his_o apostle_n that_o the_o world_n can_v not_o understand_v because_o of_o their_o hardness_n of_o heart_n you_o charge_v i_o further_o with_o say_v that_o none_o be_v baptize_v with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n but_o they_o wrought_v miracle_n i_o say_v not_o so_o but_o that_o none_o be_v baptize_v with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n but_o they_o can_v work_v miracle_n lie_n his_o 10._o lie_n and_o so_o i_o do_v say_v still_o till_o thou_o can_v prove_v it_o for_o not_o one_o text_n by_o thou_o allege_v prove_v the_o contrary_a you_o tell_v i_o that_o i_o say_v lie_n his_o 11._o lie_n all_o good_a be_v not_o of_o god_n this_o be_v another_o of_o thy_o lie_n and_o i_o leave_v it_o to_o thou_o to_o prove_v though_o it_o may_v be_v i_o may_v say_v that_o all_o the_o good_a you_o glory_n in_o be_v not_o of_o god_n and_o so_o i_o say_v still_o for_o you_o be_v of_o the_o generation_n that_o call_v good_a evil_n and_o evil_a good_a but_o otherwise_o i_o believe_v with_o all_o my_o heart_n that_o god_n be_v the_o fountain_n of_o all_o good_a according_a to_o the_o scripture_n you_o go_v on_o and_o tell_v i_o that_o i_o say_v christ_n be_v not_o a_o minister_n of_o circumcision_n and_o so_o i_o say_v still_o till_o thou_o can_v prove_v it_o and_o though_o in_o thy_o letter_n thou_o charge_v this_o for_o a_o error_n yet_o thou_o do_v not_o bring_v one_o text_n to_o prove_v he_o be_v a_o minister_n of_o circumcision_n see_v thy_o deceit_n again_o thou_o charge_v i_o with_o error_n in_o thy_o letter_n in_o say_v the_o law_n be_v not_o give_v by_o christ_n and_o yet_o do_v not_o give_v i_o one_o text_n to_o prove_v that_o it_o be_v give_v by_o christ_n for_o the_o scripture_n say_v the_o law_n be_v give_v by_o

this_o be_v another_o of_o thy_o lie_n where_o do_v i_o say_v any_o such_o thing_n in_o all_o my_o book_n but_o this_o i_o say_v that_o the_o scripture_n make_v no_o distinction_n between_o a_o be_v

beget_v and_o bring_v forth_o by_o promise_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v first_o that_o this_o be_v nothing_o to_o the_o question_n for_o though_o he_o be_v beget_v and_o bring_v forth_o by_o promise_n do_v this_o prove_v that_o therefore_o he_o be_v not_o bear_v after_o the_o flesh_n for_o isaac_n be_v bear_v according_a to_o the_o promise_n yet_o he_o be_v bear_v after_o the_o flesh_n likewise_o so_o god_n promise_v concern_v christ_n birth_n do_v not_o prove_v that_o therefore_o he_o be_v not_o bear_v according_a to_o the_o flesh_n and_o whereas_o thou_o say_v he_o that_o be_v bear_v after_o the_o flesh_n persecute_v he_o that_o be_v bear_v after_o the_o spirit_n i_o say_v that_o though_o this_o be_v true_a in_o sinful_a unregenerate_a man_n that_o have_v no_o other_o birth_n and_o
