           answer
           the
           question
           ,
           and
           further
           reply
           ,
           I
           do
           grow
           up
           in
           wisdome
           ,
           and
           knowledge
           daily
           ,
           and
           never
           knew
           so
           much

           deceit
           ,
           as
           now
           I
           do
           ,
           since
           ,
           and
           at
           that
           dispute
           ,
           (
           the
           ground
           of
           this
           our
           debate
           )
           so
           I
           thought
           good
           to
           let
           him
           know
           ,
           that
           I
           do
           grow
           in
           truth
           ,
           which
           doth
           daily
           discover
           more
           and
           more
           ,
           deceite
           in
           him
           ,
           and
           them
           that
           opposes
           truth
           ,
           and
           so
           also
           growes
           in
           the
           knowledge
           of
           his
           error
           of
           Judgement
           ,
           and
           Ignorance
           ,
           that
           I
           may
           condemne
           it
           ,
           and
           judge
           it

           And
           whereas
           ,
           
             I
             said

             every

             is
             sufficient

           said
           I

           much
           less

           be
           offended

           yet

           himself

           not
           guilty
           so
           much

           four
           times

           many

           he
           seems
           not
           to
           clear
           himself
           at
           all

           but
           is
           forced
           to
           confess
           himself
           guilty
           by
           silence
           ,
           that
           he
           related

           so
           much
           by
           far
           as
           I
           spoke
           ;
           and
           yet
           called
           his
           relation
           a
           faithful
           account

           but
           was
           thereby
           proved
           unfaithful
           ,
           though
           now
           he
           would
           seem
           to
           cover
           himself
           and
           blame
           me
           ,
           for
           charging
           him
           too
           deeply
           ;
           but
           my
           words
           remains
           true
           upon
           him

           his
           former
           work

           was
           
             neither
             perfect
             nor
             altogether
             honest

           and
           in
           this
           he
           hath
           no
           whit
           amended
           it

           but
           the
           rather
           made
           his
           weakness
           more

             P.
             T.
          
           in
           his

           had
           much

           now
           he

           he
           or
           you
           then
           confessed
           a

           account

           had
           laid
           down
           the

           otherwise
           then
           he
           spoke
           it
           ,
           this
           made
           the

           more
           a

           thy
           account
           to
           be
           false

           neither

           to

           now
           I
           say
           its
           needless

           harsh
           kind
           of
           censoriousness

           in
           his
           former
           he
           had
           concluded
           ,
           that
           I
           held
           forth
           giddy
           doctrine

           I
           had
           affirmed
           the
           truth
           ,
           in

             Pharoah
          
           spoke
           something

           written
           in
           Scripture
           ,
           and
           had
           I
           not
           reason
           to
           question
           what
           is

           his
           heart
           ,
           who
           had
           the
           boldness
           ,
           without
           fear
           to
           conclude
           so
           evil
           against
           me

           he
           did

           not
           proving
           the
           contrary
           to
           what
           I
