preach_v among_o you_o but_o this_o principle_n to_o have_v people_n mind_n god_n in_o their_o conscience_n and_o to_o be_v faithful_a to_o what_o they_o know_v of_o god_n and_o what_o hard_a

to_o keep_v their_o conscience_n clear_a in_o his_o sight_n and_o how_o have_v some_o seal_v it_o with_o their_o blood_n and_o still_o be_v ready_a though_o patient_a suffer_v in_o his_o power_n god_n be_v magnify_v for_o it_o with_o their_o life_n give_v up_o and_o if_o god_n shall_v suffer_v they_o to_o be_v bring_v to_o the_o stake_n for_o the_o testimony_n of_o jesus_n and_o let_v the_o rain_n

think_v that_o this_o pearl_n of_o great_a price_n which_o they_o have_v sell_v all_o for_o they_o will_v part_v with_o for_o nothing_o or_o for_o the_o glory_n of_o this_o world_n which_o perish_v and_o this_o i_o say_v of_o they_o that_o be_v faithful_a to_o god_n in_o what_o they_o know_v they_o be_v the_o people_n of_o god_n and_o there_o be_v no_o more_o require_v of_o any_o of_o we_o but_o to_o be_v faithful_a to_o what_o we_o know_v be_v it_o much_o or_o little_a so_o this_o be_v my_o testimony_n for_o this_o people_n if_o i_o shall_v write_v no_o more_o for_o i_o wait_v for_o my_o

of_o the_o god_n of_o heaven_n to_o send_v this_o affliction_n of_o lameness_n upon_o i_o so_o that_o in_o the_o prime_n of_o my_o age_n my_o strength_n be_v take_v from_o i_o i_o care_v not_o

not_o whether_o i_o shall_v have_v be_v conformable_a to_o his_o heavenly_a will_n but_o in_o love_n and_o tenderness_n to_o my_o soul_n have_v he_o suffer_v this_o exercise_n to_o come_v upon_o i_o and_o i_o have_v for_o ever_o cause_v to_o bless_v his_o name_n that_o ever_o he_o have_v deal_v with_o i_o after_o this_o manner_n if_o he_o never_o restore_v i_o to_o my_o former_a strength_n again_o his_o will_v be_v do_v though_o to_o look_v at_o it_o it_o be_v very_o hard_a and_o i_o know_v i_o be_o a_o object_n of_o pity_n to_o many_o of_o you_o but_o why_o shall_v i_o murmur_v at_o it_o shall_v the_o pot_n say_v to_o the_o potter_n why_o have_v thou_o make_v i_o thus_o no_o i_o shall_v not_o but_o bless_v his_o name_n that_o ever_o he_o have_v spare_v i_o to_o this_o day_n that_o i_o shall_v answer_v what_o he_o require_v of_o this_o poor_a weak_a body_n of_o i_o and_o this_o be_v the_o great_a joy_n and_o comfort_n of_o my_o soul_n that_o as_o i_o have_v find_v my_o strength_n go_v from_o i_o outward_o my_o faith_n and_o hope_v and_o strength_n have_v renew_v in_o god_n inward_o and_o here_o i_o have_v great_a cause_n of_o joy_n and_o comfort_n and_o to_o god_n

you_o do_v this_o or_o that_o let_v i_o prevail_v with_o you_o to_o have_v a_o care_n what_o you_o say_v as_o to_o this_o thing_n lest_o you_o sin_v the_o unpardonable_a sin_n against_o the_o holy_a

this_o spiritual_a appearance_n of_o christ_n for_o if_o ever_o you_o know_v god_n you_o must_v know_v he_o spiritual_o for_o god_n be_v a_o spirit_n and_o they_o that_o worshlp_v he_o must_v

for_o which_o they_o be_v make_v if_o man_n will_v but_o true_o come_v to_o serve_v the_o lord_n their_o god_n in_o their_o heart_n it_o will_v teach_v they_o better_a manner_n one_o to_o another_o than_o a_o few_o dissemble_a title_n of_o honour_n and_o worshipful_a with_o the_o cap_n and_o knee_n i_o pray_v you_o what_o do_v they_o all_o signify_v but_o to_o make_v man_n proud_a and_o there_o

why_o shall_v you_o take_v occasion_n at_o thou_o or_o thou_o in_o the_o scripture_n you_o may_v plentiful_o see_v that_o when_o the_o servant_n of_o god_n go_v to_o declare_v his_o word_n to_o the_o
