desire_v before_o the_o lord_n that_o you_o examine_v your_o own_o heart_n in_o this_o thing_n what_o your_o end_n be_v in_o it_o if_o it_o be_v that_o you_o think_v she_o be_v not_o worthy_a to_o have_v a_o livelihood_n among_o man_n then_o why_o do_v you_o not_o either_o by_o the_o civil_a law_n if_o that_o will_v take_v hold_n of_o the_o offence_n or_o by_o some_o other_o way_n if_o nothing_o will_v satisfy_v you_o but_o her_o blood_n take_v some_o present_a course_n that_o may_v put_v a_o end_n to_o this_o great_a difference_n but_o if_o you_o think_v this_o be_v too_o gross_a or_o more_o than_o the_o offence_n require_v then_o i_o beseech_v you_o for_o the_o lord_n sake_n to_o consider_v your_o own_o act_n in_o this_o thing_n whether_o you_o do_v not_o as_o much_o as_o in_o you_o lie_v carry_v on_o the_o same_o design_n though_o more_o close_o from_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o world_n which_o sure_a before_o the_o lord_n can_v appear_v no_o other_o but_o the_o hunt_n after_o her_o life_n nay_o be_v it_o not_o more_o then_o to_o take_v off_o one_o single_a life_n at_o once_o for_o which_o be_v great_a cruelty_n for_o a_o tyrant_n to_o take_v a_o man_n life_n at_o once_o or_o by_o degree_n and_o than_o yourselves_o be_v judge_n whether_o your_o proceed_n towards_o she_o be_v not_o a_o kill_a all_o the_o day_n long_o for_o you_o can_v be_v ignorant_a that_o she_o have_v no_o livelihood_n among_o man_n but_o what_o she_o earn_v by_o her_o hand_n and_o your_o defame_v she_o in_o this_o manner_n can_v in_o a_o ordinary_a way_n but_o deprive_v she_o of_o that_o and_o so_o at_o last_o bring_v her_o blood_n upon_o you_o if_o you_o say_v you_o acquaint_v none_o but_o the_o saint_n with_o it_o it_o be_v evident_a to_o the_o contrary_a for_o your_o open_a publish_n it_o in_o the_o counsel_n of_o war_n cause_v the_o world_n to_o take_v notice_n of_o it_o and_o yet_o your_o spirit_n rest_v not_o here_o true_o dear_a friend_n as_o the_o evil_a spirit_n wrought_v in_o she_o one_o way_n when_o she_o be_v with_o you_o so_o consider_v whether_o the_o fame_n spirit_n do_v not_o high_o work_v in_o you_o at_o this_o time_n another_o way_n the_o lord_n give_v you_o understanding_n in_o all_o thing_n but_o if_o her_o life_n be_v not_o that_o which_o you_o aim_v at_o then_o be_v it_o those_o divine_a discovery_n of_o life_n and_o light_n which_o god_n make_v out_o to_o the_o world_n by_o she_o if_o it_o be_v so_o than_o you_o be_v to_o know_v that_o he_o be_v too_o strong_a you_o strive_v withal_o but_o about_o this_o i_o will_v a_o little_a quere_z first_o whether_o do_v you_o think_v that_o because_o such_o evil_n be_v manifest_a in_o she_o when_o with_o you_o therefore_o it_o be_v impossible_a now_o that_o any_o good_a shall_v be_v bring_v forth_o by_o she_o do_v you_o not_o hope_v to_o grow_v better_a and_o better_a but_o second_o be_v it_o not_o god_n usual_a way_n to_o manifest_v himself_o there_o high_v where_o in_o time_n pass_v he_o be_v by_o the_o evil_a spirit_n keep_v low_a yea_o do_v he_o not_o suffer_v himself_o for_o this_o very_a end_n many_o time_n thus_o to_o die_v in_o appearance_n and_o to_o leave_v a_o soul_n to_o itself_o that_o it_o may_v see_v what_o it_o be_v in_o itself_o and_o learn_v to_o die_v to_o itself_o that_o so_o he_o may_v have_v the_o more_o glorious_a resurrection_n in_o that_o soul_n i_o beseech_v you_o for_o the_o lord_n sake_n to_o consider_v these_o thing_n as_o for_o her_o outward_a person_n i_o conceive_v she_o care_v as_o little_a for_o it_o as_o you_o can_v therefore_o you_o may_v take_v your_o fill_n of_o trample_v on_o it_o but_o i_o beseech_v you_o be_v careful_a how_o you_o meddle_v with_o the_o spirit_n that_o breathe_v in_o she_o for_o sure_o brethren_n i_o know_v not_o what_o spirit_n manifest_v itself_o in_o her_o while_n with_o you_o i_o be_o sure_a and_o i_o speak_v nothing_o but_o the_o truth_n that_o i_o have_v find_v a_o most_o divine_a spirit_n in_o she_o as_o far_o as_o i_o can_v discern_v and_o that_o which_o come_v to_o the_o spirit_n and_o life_n of_o thing_n and_o in_o this_o i_o think_v you_o shall_v rejoice_v for_o true_o i_o have_v hear_v many_o professor_n and_o see_v many_o profession_n but_o to_o my_o knowledge_n i_o never_o hear_v one_o come_v so_o near_o the_o power_n as_o she_o do_v i_o do_v not_o speak_v this_o as_o be_v affect_v with_o any_o person_n party_n or_o opinion_n i_o bless_v my_o god_n i_o be_o now_o in_o his_o strength_n deliver_v from_o that_o though_o some_o have_v false_o affirm_v my_o be_v delude_v by_o she_o but_o i_o be_o confident_a i_o can_v say_v with_o paul_n
