reason_n of_o deadness_n and_o backwardness_n to_o such_o a_o good_a work_n as_o edify_v of_o one_o another_o in_o love_n when_o they_o be_v together_o and_o for_o want_v of_o make_v it_o as_o sometime_o they_o shall_v the_o very_a design_n and_o end_n of_o their_o come_n together_o to_o build_v up_o one_o another_o in_o their_o most_o holy_a faith_n etc._n etc._n but_o i_o say_v if_o they_o can_v but_o once_o get_v into_o it_o and_o especial_o if_o they_o be_v not_o only_o true_a christian_n but_o fervent_a oh_o what_o comfortable_a profitable_a communion_n will_v there_o be_v sometime_o between_o they_o that_o their_o very_a heart_n will_v be_v knit_v together_o by_o it_o as_o it_o be_v between_o jonathan_n and_o david_n when_o they_o have_v have_v communion_n together_o the_o soul_n of_o jonathan_n be_v knit_v to_o the_o soul_n of_o david_n and_o they_o love_v one_o another_o as_o their_o own_o soul_n now_o the_o have_v of_o this_o live_a communion_n together_o be_v a_o thing_n which_o the_o lord_n set_v a_o very_a high_a esteem_n upon_o i_o speak_v this_o to_o encourage_v god_n people_n to_o be_v more_o frequent_a and_o forward_a in_o it_o than_o many_o of_o we_o be_v see_v mal._n 3._o 16._o then_o they_o that_o fear_v the_o lord_n speak_v often_o one_o to_o another_o and_o the_o lord_n hearken_v and_o hear_v it_o and_o a_o book_n of_o remembrance_n be_v write_v before_o he_o for_o they_o that_o fear_v the_o lord_n and_o that_o think_v upon_o his_o name_n this_o be_v a_o scripture_n that_o one_o will_v think_v shall_v make_v you_o even_o long_o to_o be_v more_o at_o this_o work_n for_o mark_v what_o encouragement_n it_o carry_v in_o it_o 1._o the_o lord_n hearken_v as_o it_o be_v by_o way_n of_o attention_n and_o 2._o hear_v it_o as_o it_o be_v

friend_n as_o pass_v of_o that_o man_n and_o thus_o you_o go_v on_o and_o when_o your_o great_a distress_n come_v upon_o you_o than_o you_o begin_v to_o look_v out_o for_o this_o friend_n that_o he_o may_v now_o do_v for_o you_o according_a to_o what_o he_o put_v you_o in_o hope_n he_o will_v do_v and_o when_o you_o have_v inquire_v after_o he_o and_o now_o have_v such_o great_a need_n of_o help_n you_o find_v the_o man_n be_v dead_a so_o if_o you_o be_v not_o partaker_n of_o this_o freedom_n by_o christ_n hope_v what_o you_o will_v it_o will_v come_v to_o nothing_o and_o therefore_o what_o the_o apostle_n tell_v the_o people_n of_o god_n they_o shall_v not_o do_v i_o tell_v you_o that_o be_v not_o the_o people_n of_o god_n that_o you_o shall_v do_v it_o heb._n 10._o 35._o he_o say_v

in_o turn_v away_o every_o one_o of_o you_o from_o his_o iniquity_n and_o therefore_o all_o that_o i_o shall_v say_v upon_o it_o be_v this_o that_o if_o you_o have_v not_o this_o freedom_n by_o christ_n you_o will_v never_o have_v god_n blessing_n and_o therefore_o you_o will_v have_v god_n curse_n that_o will_v be_v your_o portion_n i_o grant_v that_o in_o some_o sense_n you_o may_v be_v

oh_o sir_n what_o a_o dreadful_a thing_n will_v it_o be_v to_o lie_v under_o the_o curse_n of_o god_n to_o eternity_n do_v you_o think_v you_o be_v strong_a enough_o to_o bear_v such_o a_o load_n as_o this_o be_v world_n without_o end_n you_o may_v see_v some_o inkling_n of_o it_o now_o what_o a_o dreadful_a thing_n this_o curse_n be_v if_o god_n do_v but_o let_v fall_v a_o drop_n of_o it_o upon_o a_o great_a estate_n how_o it_o moulder_n or_o upon_o any_o person_n for_o his_o wickedness_n what_o a_o forlorn_a creature_n he_o become_v as_o cain_n why_o this_o be_v a_o thing_n that_o will_v
