_God has given to all, besides an intellectual, a spiritual understanding--Some have had a greater portion of this spirit than others, such as Abraham, and Moses, and the prophets, and Apostles--Jesus Christ had it without limit or measure._ CHAPTER II. _Except a man has a portion of the same spirit, which Jesus, and the Prophets, and the Apostles had, he cannot know spiritual things--This doctrine confirmed by St. Paul--And elucidated by a comparison between the faculties of men and of brutes._ CHAPTER III. _Neither except he has a portion of the same spirit, can he know the scriptures to be of divine origin, nor can he spiritually understand them--Objection to this doctrine-Reply._ CHAPTER IV. _This spirit, which has been thus given to men in different degrees, has been given them as a teacher or guide in their spiritual concerns--Way in which it teaches._ CHAPTER V. _This spirit may be considered as the primary and infallible guide--and the scriptures but a secondary means of instruction--but the Quakers do not undervalue the latter on this account--Their opinion concerning them._ CHAPTER VI. _This spirit, as a primary and infallible guide, has been given to men universally--From the creation to Moses--From Moses to Christ--From Christ to the present day._ CHAPTER VII. Sect. I.--_And as it has been universally to men, so it has been given them sufficiently--Those who resist it, quench it--Those who attend to it, are in the way of redemption._ Sect. II.--_This spirit then besides its office of a spiritual guide, performs that of a Redeemer to men--Redemption outward and inward--Inward effected by this spirit._ Sect. III.--_Inward redemption produces a new birth--and leads to perfection--This inward redemption possible to all._ Sect. IV--_New birth and perfection more particularly explained-New birth as real from "the spiritual seed of the kingdom" as that of plants and vegetables from their seeds in the natural world--and goes on in the same manner progressively to maturity._ CHAPTER VIII. SECT. I._--Possibility of redemption to all denied by the favours of "Election and Reprobation"--Quaker-refutation of the later doctrine._ SECT. II._--Quaker refutation continued._ CHAPTER IX. _Recapitulation of all the doctrines advanced--Objection that the Quakers make every thing of the Spirit and but little of Jesus Christ--Attempt to show that Christians often differ without a just cause--Or that there is no material difference between the creeds of the Quakers and that of the objectors on this subject._ CHAPTER X. SECT. I._--Ministers of the Gospel--Quakers conceive that the spirit of God alone can qualify for the ministry--Women equally qualified with men--Way in which ministers are called and acknowledged among the Quakers._ SECT. II._--Quaker-ministers, when acknowledged, engage in family visits--Nature of these--and sometimes in missions through England--and sometimes in foreign parts._ CHAPTER XI.
