and_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o it_o my_o heart_n have_v be_v melt_v and_o overcome_v with_o the_o unspeakable_a love_n which_o have_v flow_v from_o my_o life_n to_o you-ward_o when_o i_o have_v

with_o that_o which_o nature_n be_v subject_a unto_o my_o heart_n have_v be_v fill_v with_o joy_n my_o mouth_n with_o the_o high_a praise_n of_o the_o lord_n upon_o my_o bed_n and_o therein_o my_o

and_o your_o temptation_n not_o a_o few_o and_o these_o thing_n my_o soul_n have_v weigh_v and_o serious_o ponder_v upon_o and_o i_o have_v observe_v how_o the_o nation_n in_o the_o most_o part_n where_o your_o residence_n be_v be_v angry_a with_o you_o and_o bend_v their_o brow_n against_o you_o and_o great_a have_v your_o suffering_n be_v in_o which_o the_o lord_n have_v not_o leave_v you_o comfortless_o and_o so_o be_v it_o with_o our_o brethren_n beyond_o the_o sea_n ●hose_v faith_n and_o patience_n the_o lord_n try_v by_o their_o be_v exercise_v in_o manifold_a tribulation_n but_o it_o appear_v by_o their_o writing_n that_o the_o lord_n be_v exceed_o good_a unto_o they_o and_o that_o their_o consolation_n by_o his_o spirit_n abound_v even_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o they_o which_o tend_v to_o the_o furtherance_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o true_o i_o be_o glad_a when_o i_o consider_v how_o patient_o you_o have_v suffer_v violence_n to_o be_v do_v unto_o you_o without_o do_v violence_n to_o your_o adversary_n which_o thing_n be_v become_v of_o good_a report_n among_o all_o that_o fear_v the_o lord_n who_o have_v hear_v of_o your_o long_a suffering_n and_o forbearance_n which_o we_o have_v learn_v of_o our_o lord_n and_o master_n who_o plead_v our_o cause_n and_o clear_v our_o innocency_n and_o test_n f●●th_v to_o the_o face_n of_o your_o adversary_n by_o his_o witness_n that_o they_o have_v measure_v that_o measure_n to_o you_o which_o they_o will_v not_o have_v meet_v unto_o themselves_o but_o when_o the_o cup_n of_o tremble_v come_v to_o be_v put_v into_o their_o hand_n then_o shall_v they_o with_o sorrow_n and_o grief_n of_o heart_n remember_v what_o they_o have_v do_v unto_o you_o who_o have_v patient_o sustain_v grievous_a suffering_n from_o they_o but_o without_o controversy_n many_o of_o they_o who_o have_v affl●cted_v you_o must_v drink_v of_o that_o cup_n of_o suffer_v which_o they_o have_v put_v into_o your_o hand_n and_o then_o shall_v the_o oppression_n wherewith_o they_o have_v oppress_v you_o become_v their_o exceed_a heavy_a burden_n but_o however_o friend_n if_o the_o lord_n shall_v yet_o suffer_v your_o suffering_n to_o be_v prolong_v and_o continue_v for_o a_o season_n faint_v not_o you_o in_o your_o mind_n but_o be_v strong_a in_o the_o power_n of_o the_o lord_n may_v and_o be_v you_o tender_a affectionate_a one_o towards_o another_o for_o a_o unspeakable_a necessity_n i_o see_v in_o the_o light_n of_o the_o lord_n of_o your_o be_v tender_a one_o over_o another_o that_o you_o may_v be_v a_o comfort_n and_o a_o refresh_n one_o to_o another_o in_o the_o lord_n in_o your_o several_a county_n meeting_n and_o family_n where_o you_o be_v disperse_v and_o scatter_v abroad_o in_o the_o nation_n and_o nation_n as_o light_n in_o the_o world_n and_o friend_n beware_v of_o give_v place_n to_o that_o which_o will_v gender_v strife_n among_o yourselves_o and_o bring_v you_o into_o variance_n one_o with_o another_o for_o that_o spirit_n be_v not_o of_o god_n but_o of_o the_o world_n and_o that_o will_v not_o easy_o pass_v by_o offence_n but_o will_v both_o give_v they_o and_o take_v they_o neither_o will_v that_o bind_v up_o breach_n but_o make_v they_o worse_o neither_o will_v that_o edify_v the_o body_n but_o will_v bring_v suffer_v upon_o it_o and_o the_o suffering_n which_o that_o spirit_n bring_v upon_o it_o be_v more_o intolerable_a for_o the_o body_n than_o the_o suffering_n that_o its_o open_a adversary_n bring_v upon_o it_o for_o it_o will_v rejoice_v in_o the_o fail_n of_o the_o weak_a and_o it_o will_v be_v lift_v up_o when_o the_o righteous_a be_v cast_v down_o and_o will_v look_v more_o at_o the_o fail_n of_o other_o then_o at_o its_o own_o now_o my_o advice_n to_o you_o be_v to_o beware_v of_o it_o and_o watch_v vigilent_o against_o it_o as_o against_o one_o of_o your_o great_a and_o subtle_a enemy_n of_o your_o soul_n and_o eternal_a peace_n and_o friend_n you_o that_o be_v disperse_v abroad_o in_o sundry_a part_n of_o the_o county_n and_o it_o may_v be_v be_v not_o above_o two_o or_o three_o family_n in_o a_o parish_n and_o paradventure_o some_o of_o the_o family_n be_v friend_n and_o some_o be_v not_o therefore_o you_o have_v need_n to_o be_v vigilant_a and_o circumspect_a and_o also_o beware_v of_o let_v in_o the_o spirit_n of_o they_o that_o be_v of_o another_o spirit_n then_o that_o which_o you_o be_v of_o lest_o thereby_o you_o lose_v your_o authority_n and_o dominion_n over_o they_o and_o so_o bring_v trouble_v upon_o yourselves_o which_o may_v easy_o befall_v you_o if_o you_o be_v too_o intimate_a and_o familiar_a with_o they_o again_o you_o have_v need_n to_o watch_v over_o one_o another_o in_o tender_a love_n for_o good_a that_o if_o you_o see_v evil_a appear_n in_o one_o another_o you_o may_v betimes_o mind_v one_o another_o of_o it_o though_o i_o know_v it_o will_v be_v a_o great_a cross_n to_o you_o to_o speak_v to_o the_o party_n that_o be_v guilty_a than_o it_o will_v be_v for_o you_o to_o speak_v to_o another_o of_o the_o thing_n and_o when_o they_o come_v to_o hear_v of_o your_o acquaint_v other_o with_o that_o which_o concern_v they_o and_o you_o not_o mind_v they_o of_o the_o thing_n before_o hence_o may_v prejudice_n arise_v which_o when_o this_o be_v get_v up_o they_o in_o who_o it_o be_v seat_v will_v strive_v to_o beget_v it_o in_o other_o against_o such_o as_o they_o have_v prejudice_n against_o and_o this_o will_v tend_v rather_o to_o the_o make_n of_o party_n then_o unto_o peace_n therefore_o be_v advise_v oh_a friend_n to_o take_v heed_n of_o that_o and_o i_o beseech_v you_o in_o the_o bowel_n of_o love_n be_v persuade_v to_o live_v in_o love_n peace_n and_o unity_n one_o with_o another_o and_o be_v you_o good_a pattern_n and_o example_n one_o to_o another_o in_o all_o thing_n lest_o that_o you_o shall_v bring_v burden_n upon_o one_o another_o which_o the_o lord_n know_v you_o have_v not_o need_v to_o do_v for_o i_o know_v all_o of_o you_o in_o your_o several_a place_n wherein_o you_o be_v set_v who_o be_v true_o under_o the_o yoke_n have_v much_o to_o bear_v already_o so_o that_o there_o be_v more_o necessity_n for_o your_o bear_a ●ne_n another_o burden_n then_o there_o be_v for_o your_o add_n unto_o one_o another_o burden_n therefore_o keep_v t●_z the_o life_n in_o yourselves_o that_o in_o the_o love_n which_o bear_v all_o thing_n you_o may_v be_v comprehend_v more_o and_o more_o and_o all_o you_o who_o be_v ruler_n of_o family_n who_o have_v the_o oversight_n both_o of_o child_n and_o servant_n be_v you_o pattern_n of_o love_n of_o meekness_n and_o wisdom_n of_o diligence_n and_o long-suffering_a that_o so_o your_o family_n may_v be_v bring_v into_o these_o thing_n to_o the_o praise_n of_o god_n and_o to_o your_o comfort_n and_o beware_v of_o tolerate_v any_o evil_a vice_n in_o your_o family_n by_o give_v too_o much_o
