be_v light_n and_o vain_a and_o not_o worth_a answer_v and_o that_o what_o i_o write_v be_v both_o sober_a and_o true_a without_o fawn_a and_o flattery_n in_o which_o many_o among_o you_o be_v too_o

he_o nor_o delight_n in_o his_o woe_n and_o misery_n but_o be_v sore_o grieve_v as_o still_o i_o be_o to_o see_v how_o the_o wicked_a one_o who_o the_o lord_n will_v destroy_v be_v exalt_v in_o he_o and_o you_o and_o what_o i_o write_v be_v true_a and_o whereas_o he_o say_v i_o be_v not_o a_o in_o a_o sober_a mind_n but_o at_o a_o distance_n from_o it_o and_o true_a speak_n when_o i_o mention_v

so_o go_v on_o speak_v many_o word_n but_o to_o what_o purpose_n i_o can_v see_v except_o it_o be_v by_o word_n to_o darken_v the_o reader_n understanding_n but_o if_o i_o mistake_v not_o that_o which_o he_o will_v do_v be_v to_o vindicate_v himself_o from_o be_v a_o liar_n with_o what_o else_o i_o charge_v upon_o he_o in_o my_o former_a letter_n by_o tell_v i_o he_o say_v i_o have_v not_o his_o hand_n to_o it_o as_o his_o particular_a accusation_n and_o if_o this_o be_v his_o meaning_n then_o be_v it_o gross_a deceit_n for_o i_o never_o say_v or_o think_v it_o be_v his_o particular_a accusation_n but_o a_o general_a accusation_n deliver_v by_o he_o in_o which_o himself_o and_o each_o other_o particular_a be_v include_v and_o so_o i_o speak_v to_o he_o in_o soberness_n and_o pity_n my_o very_a howel_n move_v towards_o he_o know_v myself_o innocent_a and_o that_o it_o be_v a_o dreadful_a thing_n for_o he_o in_o the_o name_n or_o the_o lord_n to_o speak_v a_o false_a vision_n or_o thing_n i_o ask_v he_o how_o he_o dare_v come_v to_o i_o and_o in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n tell_v i_o i_o say_v the_o scripture_n of_o truth_n be_v one_o of_o the_o great_a plague_n of_o the_o land_n when_o i_o never_o speak_v nor_o think_v such_o a_o thing_n to_o which_o he_o reply_v he_o never_o speak_v it_o nor_o lay_v it_o to_o my_o charge_n though_o out_o of_o his_o own_o mouth_n it_o come_v and_o when_o i_o tell_v he_o i_o have_v it_o under_o his_o hand_n he_o deny_v it_o when_o i_o tell_v he_o i_o can_v show_v it_o he_o he_o reply_v if_o i_o can_v he_o will_v acknowledge_v himself_o a_o liar_n upon_o which_o ground_n i_o charge_v he_o for_o it_o as_o before_o and_o so_o i_o do_v still_o and_o good_a be_v it_o for_o he_o if_o he_o own_v the_o judgement_n and_o repent_v for_o otherwise_o he_o can_v escape_v but_o if_o he_o forget_v that_o his_o hand_n be_v to_o his_o paper_n do_v run_v himself_o into_o the_o evil_n of_o deny_v it_o as_o be_v before_o express_v yet_o if_o when_o he_o come_v to_o the_o sight_n of_o his_o error_n he_o have_v clear_o acknowledge_v it_o and_o own_v his_o condemnation_n and_o repent_v to_o which_o in_o love_n he_o be_v advise_v there_o have_v be_v mercy_n for_o he_o but_o be_v convince_v and_o reprove_v of_o the_o evil_a harden_v his_o neck_n and_o labour_n to_o hide_v and_o cover_v his_o sin_n add_v one_o iniquity_n unto_o another_o here_o he_o can_v prosper_v but_o bring_v himself_o just_o under_o not_o only_o the_o judgement_n and_o condemnation_n mention_v in_o my_o former_a letter_n but_o more_o and_o more_o misery_n due_a to_o those_o that_o rebel_n against_o the_o light_n by_o which_o they_o be_v reprove_v and_o to_o those_o that_o add_v iniquity_n unto_o iniquity_n and_o must_v not_o come_v into_o god_n righteousness_n and_o from_o it_o all_o the_o water_n in_o jordan_n can_v never_o wash_v he_o not_o the_o rock_n and_o mountain_n cover_v he_o nor_o all_o your_o outward_a observation_n imagination_n and_o will-worship_n preserve_v he_o till_o he_o own_o the_o light_n by_o which_o he_o be_v convince_v and_o reprove_v and_o the_o just_a condemnation_n thereof_o pass_v upon_o the_o rebellious_a and_o the_o transgressor_n which_o have_v sin_v and_o he_o bring_v to_o repentance_n and_o the_o acknowledgement_n of_o the_o truth_n and_o so_o his_o soul_n come_v to_o be_v save_v in_o this_o mighty_a day_n of_o the_o lord_n power_n and_o this_o be_v not_o from_o a_o violent_a heat_n of_o wildfire_n as_o he_o call_v it_o but_o from_o a_o spirit_n of_o soberness_n soundness_n and_o
