world_n may_v fill_v our_o eye_n and_o our_o ear_n that_o sometime_o we_o may_v be_v blind_a and_o not_o see_v our_o hope_n our_o own_o concupiscence_n may_v peradventure_o sting_n we_o that_o we_o

such_o a_o saviour_n it_o will_v grieve_v we_o more_o than_o death_n itself_o but_o to_o remember_v again_o so_o assure_v hope_n we_o can_v not_o but_o rejoice_v in_o the_o lord_n and_o always_o

you_o though_o you_o have_v otherwise_o do_v nothing_o for_o i_o yet_o i_o be_v unworthy_a of_o so_o much_o good_a will_n and_o if_o i_o shall_v not_o as_o in_o bind_a duty_n be_v most_o careful_a to_o strengthen_v and_o comfort_v that_o good_a purpose_n which_o yourself_o have_v choose_v for_o the_o curse_n of_o your_o life_n i_o be_v not_o worthy_a of_o the_o acquaintance_n of_o the_o saint_n of_o god_n therefore_o depart_v from_o london_n again_o as_o i_o can_v not_o choose_v i_o have_v yet_o write_v unto_o you_o as_o i_o must_v needs_o and_o i_o hearty_o pray_v that_o god_n may_v increase_v his_o goodness_n in_o you_o and_o earnest_o beseech_v you_o as_o you_o have_v receyve_v that_o so_o you_o will_v abound_v more_o and_o more_o a_o short_a request_n and_o soon_o hear_v but_o exceed_v difficult_a to_o some_o to_o practice_v &_o yet_o not_o difficult_a unto_o you_o but_o easy_a and_o light_a as_o you_o can_v desire_v for_o he_o that_o be_v bear_v of_o god_n overcom_v the_o

teach_v you_o all_o thing_n and_o it_o be_v true_a and_o not_o lyinge_v and_o as_o it_o be_v teach_v you_o you_o shall_v abide_v in_o it_o marvel_v not_o that_o i_o write_v this_o unto_o you_o nor_o be_v unwillinglie_o affect_v to_o hear_v of_o your_o own_o happiness_n it_o be_v as_o solomon_n say_v a_o other_o man_n mouth_n that_o praise_v you_o and_o not_o your_o own_o and_o what_o need_v you_o fear_v and_o i_o speak_v not_o deceitfullie_o which_o i_o thank_v god_n i_o hate_v nor_o give_v i_o title_n as_o job_n say_v which_o the_o lord_n do_v abhor_v but_o see_v as_o i_o be_o persuade_v that_o in_o you_o which_o saint_n john_n can_v see_v in_o the_o people_n to_o who_o he_o write_v and_o to_o who_o he_o give_v so_o honourable_a praise_n why_o shall_v not_o i_o be_v bold_a upon_o so_o good_a warrant_n to_o say_v also_o unto_o you_o you_o be_v the_o lord_n and_o god_n who_o justify_v then_o his_o apostle_n word_n he_o will_v justify_v they_o now_o and_o ever_o for_o he_o be_v

speak_v glorious_a thing_n unto_o we_o and_o we_o will_v believe_v they_o and_o yet_o not_o they_o but_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n have_v give_v we_o this_o testimony_n and_o it_o be_v true_a for_o what_o be_v the_o roman_n corinthian_n galathian_o and_o all_o other_o who_o the_o spirit_n name_v saint_n and_o holy_a one_o be_v they_o not_o as_o we_o frail_a and_o weak_a as_o we_o and_o our_o faith_n as_o they_o but_o we_o feel_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o infirmity_n in_o ourselves_o do_v not_o they_o so_o and_o do_v not_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n see_v more_o in_o they_o than_o themselves_o can_v feel_v yet_o it_o call_v they_o saint_n yea_o and_o so_o it_o call_v we_o that_o we_o shall_v not_o fear_v and_o therefore_o as_o i_o say_v i_o say_v again_o you_o be_v anoint_a of_o the_o lord_n and_o you_o shall_v not_o fall_v if_o your_o heart_n bear_v you_o witness_n that_o the_o profession_n which_o you_o make_v be_v unfeigned_a in_o you_o as_o i_o be_o sure_a it_o bear_v you_o witness_n one_o care_n only_o we_o have_v which_o also_o we_o will_v have_v unto_o the_o end_n and_o that_o be_v that_o we_o may_v glorify_v he_o who_o have_v glorify_v us._n in_o this_o do_n as_o i_o accuse_v myself_o most_o above_o all_o other_o man_n so_o i_o praise_v not_o you_o a_o white_a for_o i_o know_v good_a mistress_n k._n herein_o you_o be_v too_o too_o faulty_a and_o so_o

and_o we_o will_v do_v if_o god_n give_v we_o grace_n as_o his_o apostle_n do_v we_o will_v chastise_v our_o body_n and_o bring_v they_o in_o subjection_n that_o all_o that_o know_v our_o religion_n
