SUrely
the
Magistrates
of
Nottingham
are
blinde
as
though
they
had
never
read
Scriptures
,
have
they
cast
a
man
into
prison
for
saying
The
Scriptures
wer●
not
the
Living
Word
?
Surely
they
might
have
understood
what
Scripture
signifies
by
all
this
time
of
teaching
,
for
writings
is
not
living
,
nor
doth
not
endure
for
ever
,
but
the
thing
written
of
doth
,
that
is
the
Word
.
Surely
by
all
this
teaching
they
might
not
have
been
so
ignorant
of
Scripture
,
which
saith
the
Scriptures
are
the
Words
of
God
,
Exod.
20.
and
my
Words
saith
Christ
,
and
he
that
addes
to
these
Words
saith
John
,
in
the
Revelation
,
or
takes
from
these
words
,
the
plagues
shall
be
added
to
him
,
and
his
name
shall
be
deminished
out
of
the
Book
of
Life
,
Rev.
the
last
.
So
mark
,
the
Scriptures
of
truth
,
which
cannot
be
broken
,
are
the
Words
of
God
,
and
Christ
his
Name
is
called
the
Word
of
God
,
Rev.

and
they
that
had
a
perfect
understanding
from
the
very
first
,
took
in
hand
to
set
forth
in
order
a
declaration
of
those
things
which
they
had
seen
and
believed
from
the
beginning
,
who
were
Ministers
of
the
Word
,
Luke
1.
Surely
Nottingham
Inquisitioners
had
they
not
been
mad
in
their
blind
zeal
,
they
would
not
have
persecuted
a
man
for
speaking
truth
according
to
scriptures
,
who
neither
regards
the
Scriptures
nor
the
law
of
man
,
who
hath
contemptuously
disobeyed
two
Warrants
;
Surely
you
would
be
mighty
cruel
if
you
had
power
;
Did
you
never
read
that
the
Scriptures
saith
Christ
is
the
Word
,
and
the
Word
is
God
?
Is
not
he
the
living
Word
?
and
the
Word
is
immortal
;
are
writings
immortal
?
what
would
ye
have
done
to
John
if
he
had
been
under
your
power
,
who
tels
you
Christs
name
is
the
word
of
God
?
and
tels
you
,
the
Revelation
is
words
?
What
would
you
have
done
to
Peter
?
who
tels
you
the
Word
is
immortal
,
and
all
things
are
upheld
by
the
Word
of
his
power
?
And
are
all
things
upheld
by
the
Scriptures
,
is
that
your
Logick
?
Read
Heb.
1.
And
is
it
not
said
the
Scriptures
must
be
fulfilled
?
and
is
it
not
the
Living
Word
,
which
fulfills
the
words
?
And
what
would
you
have
done
to
Luke
that
tells
you
many
of
the
Ministers
of
the
Word
took
in
hand
to
set
forth
in
order
a
declaration
of
the
things
believed
among
them
from
the
very
first
?
Nay
,
doth
not
some
of
your
old
Translations
call
the
Scripture
a
Catologue
?
and
some
again
calls
it
a
story
,
and
yet
you
call
it
the
Word
?
how
many
names
have
you
given
it
here
?
it
is
called
Scriptures
of
truth
,
holy
writings
which
were
learned
of
God
,
and
given
forth
by
the
spirit
of
God
,
that
is
according
to
the
scriptures
which
are
the
words
of
God
;
and
wil
you
say
writings
are
God
,
or
writings
are
Christ
who
is
called
the
word
?
will
you
set
the
scriptures
in
the
room
of
God
,
and
give
them
his
name
?
as
you
may
read
,
Joh.
1.
Have
you
not
lost
your
understanding
?
are
you
not
blind
that
cannot
distinguish
writings
,
weh
is
Scriptures
,
from
Christ
,
&
God
,
but
put
them
in
their
place
?
Surely
you
are
far
off
from
spiritual
things
,
while
you
do
not
understand
natural
things
,
have
you
not
read
that
John
saith
in
the
beginning
was
the
Word
,
and
was
writings
in
the
beginning
?
you
want
the
Word
to
give
you
an
understanding
to
know
a
fulfiller
,
and
that
which
is
to
be
fulfilled
;
a
fulfiller
is
the
Word
,
and
that
which
is
to
be
fulfilled
is
the
words
and
outward
types
and
figures
and
changeable
things
:
So
who
is
in
the
Word
,
he
is
in
the
unchangable
which
was
in
the
beginning
,
in
whom
the
Scriptures
end
,
Christ
,
and
the
just
mens
spirits
both
;
so
the
Word
is
called
the
word
of
Reconciliation
,
but
he
doth
not
call
the
Scriptures
so
,
but
the
scriptures
are
called
a
declaration
,
and
in
many
places
called
words
,
which
are
to
be
fulfilled
and
cannot
be
broken
,
and
this
is
the
cause
that
all
Christendom
is
on
heaps
about
scriptures
,
they
wanting
the
Word
that
doth
fulfill
them
,
to
reconcile
unto
them
,
and
unto
God
,
and
unto
them
that
gave
them
forth
;
So
are
not
the
babes
born
again
by
the
immortal
Seed
,
the
Word
of
God
;
but
you
remain
in
the
mortal
,
where
the
jars
and
strifes
are
about
words
,
the
things
of
God
not
being
known
by
natural
men
.
