and_o a_o day_n of_o howl_v and_o bitter_a lamentation_n be_v to_o you_o instead_o of_o your_o joy_n and_o pleasure_n which_o you_o so_o eager_o pursue_v and_o be_v it_o not_o better_o for_o you_o

the_o lord_n fierce_a wrath_n be_v kindle_v against_o it_o and_o except_o true_a repentance_n be_v make_v manifest_a from_o you_o with_o amendment_n of_o life_n he_o will_v certain_o excecute_v his_o

the_o seed_n of_o god_n wheresoever_o it_o do_v appear_v and_o imprison_v many_o of_o the_o servant_n of_o the_o lord_n because_o for_o conscience_n sake_n they_o can_v not_o conform_v to_o the_o

for_o the_o lord_n alone_o be_v he_o that_o do_v exercise_v the_o conscience_n now_o i_o know_v you_o will_v own_v the_o say_n in_o scripture_n which_o say_v do_v unto_o every_o man_n as_o you_o will_v be_v do_v unto_o yourselves_o and_o if_o you_o practise_v the_o same_o you_o will_v allow_v we_o the_o same_o liberty_n as_o you_o yourselves_o have_v that_o be_v not_o to_o be_v force_v to_o

we_o challenge_v the_o same_o liberty_n as_o you_o enjoy_v as_o to_o matter_n of_o worship_n and_o religion_n and_o if_o we_o be_v debar_v of_o it_o the_o lord_n god_n that_o plead_v our_o cause_n will_v give_v we_o it_o whether_o you_o will_v or_o nay_o for_o i_o know_v that_o your_o church_n and_o religion_n as_o you_o call_v it_o can_v be_v settle_v without_o persecution_n and_o true_o i_o believe_v unto_o death_n but_o the_o scripture_n must_v be_v fulfil_v where_o there_o be_v a_o generation_n say_v have_v we_o live_v in_o the_o prophet_n day_n we_o will_v not_o have_v put_v they_o to_o death_n but_o the_o same_o generation_n put_v christ_n the_o great_a prophet_n to_o death_n and_o so_o you_o will_v say_v now_o have_v we_o live_v in_o queen_n maryes_fw-mi day_n we_o will_v not_o have_v put_v the_o people_n of_o god_n to_o death_n who_o suffer_v martyrdom_n yet_o imprison_v and_o persecute_v they_o now_o though_o not_o by_o open_a burn_a because_o your_o day_n be_v not_o yet_o full_o come_v so_o you_o manifest_v yourselves_o to_o be_v of_o the_o same_o seed_n upon_o which_o all_o the_o righteous_a blood_n have_v be_v charge_v from_o abel_n even_o to_o this_o day_n so_o one_o seed_n the_o persecutor_n one_o seed_n persecute_v the_o one_o of_o cain_n from_o all_o generation_n the_o other_o of_o abel_n from_o all_o generation_n so_o now_o read_v yourselves_o of_o one_o of_o these_o seed_n for_o of_o one_o of_o they_o assure_o you_o be_v and_o your_o fruit_n declare_v the_o seed_n yourselves_o you_o can_v hide_v from_o the_o witness_n of_o god_n in_o your_o
