will_v drive_v thou_o more_o to_o look_v up_o to_o he_o where_o thy_o strength_n lie_v and_o so_o may_v be_v a_o great_a preservation_n to_o thou_o 4._o discouragement_n from_o without_o be_v from_o the_o miscarriage_n of_o such_o as_o do_v profess_v the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n many_o that_o call_v upon_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n do_v not_o depart_v from_o iniquity_n but_o walk_v loose_o deal_v unrighteous_o betwixt_o man_n and_o man_n dishonour_v their_o profession_n by_o a_o unsuitable_a conversation_n other_o they_o have_v more_o gross_o backsliden_fw-mi from_o god_n and_o whereas_o former_o they_o have_v be_v pray_v man_n in_o their_o family_n hear_v man_n frequent_v the_o mean_n of_o grace_n somewhat_o strict_a in_o their_o life_n now_o they_o have_v throw_v off_o

notwithstanding_o this_o discouragement_n yet_o go_v on_o for_o the_o way_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v the_o same_o and_o if_o thou_o follow_v on_o to_o know_v the_o lord_n thou_o will_v find_v

of_o the_o world_n the_o opposition_n and_o displeasure_n of_o thy_o dear_a relation_n and_o thus_o will_v flesh_n and_o blood_n follow_v thou_o but_o alas_o what_o be_v this_o to_o a_o poor_a soul_n that_o see_v its_o precious_a soul_n lie_v at_o stake_n and_o be_v in_o danger_n can_v will_v not_o this_o soul_n reply_v to_o all_o these_o reason_n of_o flesh_n and_o blood_n get_v you_o behind_o
