the_o priest_n he_o be_v very_o meek_a and_o moderate_a and_o ask_v i_o question_n in_o the_o scripture_n concern_v christ_n be_v the_o only_a god_n 2._o and_o i_o open_v unto_o he_o the_o first_o of_o john_n in_o the_o begin_n be_v the_o word_n and_o the_o word_n be_v with_o god_n and_o the_o word_n be_v god_n and_o the_o word_n become_v flesh_n and_o dwell_v among_o we_o 3._o now_o say_v i_o

in_o the_o world_n and_o be_v not_o he_o receive_v up_o into_o glory_n so_o that_o christ_n must_v needs_o be_v god_n become_v flesh_n and_o god_n manifest_v in_o flesh_n 7._o also_o be_v not_o this_o

see_v the_o alpha_n and_o omega_n be_v dead_a and_o be_v not_o the_o alpha_n and_o omega_n god_n and_o you_o see_v by_o the_o scripture_n that_o the_o alpha_n and_o omega_n be_v dead_a and_o be_v

therefore_o he_o be_v say_v to_o be_v a_o quicken_a spirit_n 9_o therefore_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o christ_n be_v god_n become_v flesh_n and_o manifest_v in_o flesh_n and_o he_o it_o be_v that_o dwell_v among_o man_n and_o he_o be_v in_o the_o person_n of_o a_o man_n in_o all_o thing_n like_v unto_o man_n sin_n except_v 10._o so_o that_o god_n be_v but_o one_o person_n in_o form_n like_o a_o man_n and_o not_o three_o person_n as_o man_n do_v vain_o imagine_v 11._o but_o when_o he_o hear_v these_o say_n of_o i_o he_o reply_v nothing_o against_o it_o but_o seem_v to_o faun_n

punish_v i_o or_o that_o his_o person_n do_v take_v notice_n or_o mind_n i_o in_o it_o at_o all_o but_o i_o do_v well_o and_o refrain_v from_o evil_a to_o please_v the_o law_n write_v in_o my_o heart_n so_o that_o i_o may_v not_o be_v accuse_v in_o my_o own_o conscience_n by_o that_o law_n write_v in_o my_o heart_n as_o god_n have_v place_v for_o a_o watchman_n to_o tell_v i_o when_o i_o do_v well_o and_o when_o i_o do_v ill_a 15._o so_o i_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n in_o my_o own_o conscience_n and_o be_v not_o condemn_v by_o the_o law_n write_v in_o my_o heart_n i_o have_v confidence_n to_o the_o throne_n of_o grace_n neither_o do_v i_o refrain_v from_o evil_a for_o fear_n god_n see_v i_o and_o so_o to_o punish_v i_o but_o i_o refrain_v from_o evil_a because_o the_o law_n in_o my_o heart_n see_v all_o my_o do_n and_o that_o watchman_n god_n have_v set_v there_o to_o watch_v i_o will_v tell_v god_n of_o all_o my_o do_n and_o that_o law_n will_v be_v the_o only_a accuser_n of_o conscience_n 16._o so_o that_o god_n need_v not_o to_o trouble_v himself_o to_o watch_v over_o every_o man_n and_o woman_n action_n himself_o but_o have_v place_v his_o law_n a_o watchman_n in_o every_o heart_n as_o above_o say_v 17._o thus_o in_o the_o original_a god_n take_v notice_n by_o his_o law_n not_o that_o i_o do_v own_o the_o law_n write_v in_o man_n heart_n to_o be_v the_o very_a god_n as_o the_o quaker_n do_v but_o god_n be_v a_o distinct_a person_n of_o himself_o and_o distinct_a from_o this_o law_n and_o no_o other_o way_n do_v god_n mind_n or_o take_v notice_n now_o at_o this_o time_n but_o by_o this_o law_n 18._o and_o to_o that_o second_o assertion_n how_o the_o saint_n be_v not_o to_o mind_n god_n at_o all_o it_o be_v plain_a and_o be_v truth_n also_o as_o by_o scripture_n appear_v how_o that_o he_o that_o receive_v a_o prophet_n in_o god_n name_n receive_v he_o that_o send_v he_o and_o see_v god_n do_v not_o come_v to_o treat_v with_o man_n himself_o he_o send_v his_o prophet_n or_o ambassador_n in_o his_o stead_n and_o he_o be_v empower_v by_o he_o to_o make_v peace_n between_o god_n and_o man_n upon_o such_o article_n as_o the_o prophet_n and_o the_o people_n can_v agree_v on_o and_o thus_o 19_o whoever_o believe_v the_o prophet_n report_n shall_v be_v save_v and_o he_o that_o do_v not_o believe_v his_o prophet_n report_n shall_v be_v damn_v therefore_o it_o be_v say_v by_o esau_n who_o have_v believe_v our_o report_n and_o to_o who_o be_v the_o arm_n of_o the_o lord_n reveal_v so_o that_o god_n have_v place_v the_o whole_a power_n in_o the_o prophet_n to_o determine_v upon_o life_n and_o salvation_n as_o if_o god_n be_v present_v himself_o and_o if_o the_o people_n do_v not_o agree_v with_o the_o prophet_n while_o he_o be_v in_o the_o way_n how_o shall_v a_o man_n make_v his_o peace_n with_o god_n 20._o for_o god_n will_v say_v to_o such_o that_o shall_v think_v to_o come_v to_o he_o and_o despise_v the_o prophet_n if_o you_o will_v not_o receive_v the_o prophet_n who_o i_o send_v you_o will_v not_o receive_v i_o if_o i_o shall_v come_v myself_o 21._o so_o that_o god_n do_v not_o expect_v that_o you_o shall_v come_v unto_o he_o but_o unto_o the_o prophet_n only_o neither_o do_v he_o own_o your_o come_n unto_o he_o for_o he_o will_v say_v you_o shall_v have_v mind_v my_o prophet_n and_o have_v believe_v he_o and_o have_v make_v your_o peace_n with_o he_o and_o then_o i_o will_v have_v accept_v of_o you_o for_o it_o will_v be_v say_v to_o you_o as_o it_o be_v unto_o dives_n they_o have_v moses_n and_o the_o prophet_n etc._n etc._n 22._o so_o it_o will_v be_v say_v to_o you_o if_o you_o believe_v not_o my_o last_o prophet_n who_o i_o send_v he_o have_v speak_v unto_o you_o and_o have_v declare_v life_n and_o salvation_n unto_o you_o and_o if_o you_o will_v not_o believe_v he_o on_o earth_n you_o will_v not_o believe_v if_o god_n himself_o shall_v come_v from_o heaven_n and_o speak_v unto_o you_o 23._o so_o that_o there_o be_v a_o necessity_n that_o man_n shall_v believe_v the_o prophet_n only_o these_o thing_n be_v common_a practice_n with_o the_o king_n of_o the_o earth_n will_v a_o king_n be_v well_o please_v with_o that_o man_n that_o reject_v his_o ambassador_n for_o do_v not_o a_o ambassador_n stand_v in_o the_o king_n place_n and_o what_o he_o do_v the_o king_n do_v etc._n etc._n 24._o why_o shall_v you_o that_o be_v man_n think_v it_o strange_a to_o mind_v the_o prophet_n only_o be_v not_o all_o those_o people_n bless_v that_o mind_v the_o prophet_n only_o as_o moses_n and_o aaron_n elijah_n and_o elisha_n and_o those_o that_o do_v not_o mind_v the_o prophet_n only_o be_v they_o not_o curse_v 25._o so_o likewise_o whoever_o mind_v the_o prophet_n now_o alive_a only_o shall_v have_v true_a peace_n with_o god_n and_o whoever_o do_v not_o shall_v never_o have_v true_a peace_n with_o god_n nor_o perfect_a peace_n in_o his_o own_o soul_n for_o this_o be_v god_n way_n and_o that_o honour_n he_o have_v put_v upon_o prophet_n for_o all_o their_o suffering_n therefore_o it_o be_v say_v how_o beautiful_a be_v the_o foot_n of_o such_o as_o bring_v glad_a tideing_n of_o peace_n and_o salvation_n and_o whoever_o receive_v a_o prophet_n shall_v receive_v a_o prophet_n reward_n which_o reward_n be_v no_o less_o than_o the_o blessing_n of_o everlasting_a life_n and_o if_o so_o sure_o such_o a_o prophet_n ought_v to_o be_v receive_v while_n on_o earth_n to_o be_v mind_v only_o see_v that_o he_o that_o receive_v he_o receive_v god_n and_o in_o this_o sense_n people_n ought_v to_o mind_v the_o prophet_n only_o and_o no_o other_o way_n 26._o and_o as_o to_o the_o three_o assertion_n my_o answer_n be_v this_o i_o say_v it_o be_v impossible_a for_o any_o man_n or_o woman_n to_o have_v true_a peace_n except_o they_o do_v pin_v their_o faith_n upon_o the_o prophet_n sleeve_n why_o why_o because_o the_o prophet_n represent_v the_o place_n of_o god_n nay_o god_n himself_o and_o he_o that_o do_v believe_v a_o prophet_n report_n he_o believe_v in_o god_n for_o such_o a_o one_o rest_v his_o soul_n only_o upon_o the_o prophet_n word_n now_o if_o a_o prophet_n word_n be_v be_v truth_n than_o a_o man_n that_o believe_v rest_v his_o soul_n upon_o the_o truth_n and_o this_o be_v set_v the_o seal_n that_o he_o be_v true_a 27._o and_o so_o it_o may_v be_v say_v a_o man_n pin_v his_o faith_n upon_o the_o prophet_n sleeve_n that_o if_o he_o be_v true_a my_o faith_n be_v true_a if_o he_o be_v false_a my_o faith_n be_v false_a also_o and_o if_o he_o be_v a_o false_a prophet_n than_o he_o shall_v be_v damn_v and_o he_o that_o believe_v he_o will_v be_v damn_v also_o 28._o for_o if_o a_o man_n be_v save_v by_o pine_v his_o faith_n upon_o a_o true_a prophet_n sleeve_n so_o by_o pine_v his_o faith_n upon_o a_o false_a prophet_n a_o man_n be_v damn_v this_o must_v and_o be_v venture_v by_o some_o for_o this_o i_o say_v there_o be_v no_o man_n upon_o earth_n that_o profess_v the_o christian_a religion_n but_o he_o have_v either_o a_o true_a faith_n or_o a_o false_a faith_n and_o he_o pin_v his_o faith_n upon_o either_o a_o true_a minister_n or_o a_o false_a minister_n sleeve_n and_o he_o love_v one_o teacher_n better_o than_o another_o and_o here_o he_o pin_v his_o faith_n and_o have_v peace_n so_o long_o as_o his_o faith_n hold_v there_o 29._o but_o when_o his_o faith_n fail_v the_o pin_n loosen_v and_o fall_v quite_o out_o so_o their_o faith_n and_o that_o preacher_n be_v part_v and_o that_o peace_n he_o have_v in_o that_o faith_n be_v lose_v and_o another_o faith_n seek_v after_o for_o no_o man_n in_o the_o world_n can_v live_v but_o by_o a_o true_a faith_n or_o a_o false_a faith_n so_o that_o all_o man_n in_o the_o world_n do_v or_o must_v pin_v their_o faith_n upon_o some_o man_n sleeve_n or_o other_o or_o else_o there_o can_v be_v no_o peace_n at_o all_o 30._o but_o when_o their_o faith_n fail_v the_o peace_n
