Sections 21, 22.

IN the former of these Sections, I noted their profession of Perfection, and of Quaking after Moses example, at the foot of mount Sinai, to cross-shins one with the other. R. F. returns me nothing in answer; as if con∣vinced, it is no better then I judged it, a Self-contradiction, and one of his own. In the latter, the contradiction to themselves is as gross; they speak of perfection in holiness here attained, before death, and yet acknowledge sin dwel∣leth in them, though not in act. R. F. hath nothing to say to this also, and so it must stand as a testimony against them, with the rest; when he and all his fraternity have said what they can, their self-justifications will end in self-confusion.
