A44026	Innocency, though under a cloud, cleared By P.H. a poor prisoner, when almost sunk under pretended friends censures in the day of his sufferings. And also, a discovery of the comforts that attends innocency in a prison. As also, twenty four usefull particulars left by him for his children and friends, and being left in a friends hand for his relations, I could not but make them publick; judging it will be no loss to the author, and great gain to the reader, and justly give offence to none.

but_o you_o must_v mind_n how_o that_o word_n this_o be_v be_v in_o scripture_n take_v it_o be_v take_v two_o way_n 1._o it_o be_v take_v real_o as_o in_o john_n 20.31_o this_o jesus_n be_v the_o

use_v as_o in_o rev._n 1.20_o the_o seven_o star_n be_v the_o angel_n of_o the_o seven_o church_n and_o the_o seven_o candlestick_n be_v the_o seven_o church_n now_o none_o will_v say_v because_o the_o spirit_n can_v lie_v that_o the_o church_n be_v candlestick_n etc._n etc._n but_o see_v yet_o more_o clear_o in_o 1_o cor._n 10.4_o and_o they_o do_v all_o drink_n of_o that_o spiritual_a rock_n and_o that_o or_o this_o rock_n be_v christ._n now_o none_o will_v be_v so_o foolish_a as_o to_o affirm_v that_o christ_n be_v a_o rock_n of_o stone_n so_o here_o this_o be_v my_o body_n that_o be_v it_o do_v real_o represent_v my_o body_n now_o they_o have_v no_o way_n to_o answer_v but_o will_v object_v and_o say_v o_o but_o this_o be_v a_o miracle_n that_o christ_n then_o do_v work_v and_o still_o do_v by_o turn_v the_o real_a bread_n into_o real_a flesh_n answ_n god_n and_o christ_n never_o do_v work_v a_o miracle_n in_o all_o the_o scripture_n that_o you_o or_o any_o can_v prove_v but_o in_o the_o work_n of_o the_o miricle_n it_o be_v so_o wrought_v that_o it_o do_v convince_v the_o outward_a sense_n of_o all_o that_o see_v it_o or_o believe_v it_o do_v he_o turn_v water_n

scripture_n and_o it_o be_v and_o must_v be_v so_o but_o in_o this_o it_o be_v not_o for_o as_o before_o so_o after_o the_o consecration_n the_o eye_n do_v see_v it_o bread_n and_o do_v so_o still_o and_o the_o taste_n do_v taste_v it_o bread_n and_o so_o it_o do_v still_o they_o and_o all_o the_o wit_n of_o man_n can_v answer_v this_o quest_n 2._o in_o answer_n to_o the_o second_o question_n
