a_o testimony_n in_o that_o which_o separate_v between_o the_o precious_a and_o the_o vile_a and_o be_v for_o the_o friend_n and_o brethren_n who_o love_v the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n in_o sincerity_n and_o truth_n let_v it_o not_o seem_v as_o a_o strange_a thing_n to_o my_o friend_n and_o brethren_n that_o any_o thing_n of_o this_o nature_n shall_v come_v forth_o from_o i_o for_o i_o have_v a_o testimony_n in_o my_o heart_n from_o the_o live_a god_n that_o it_o be_v in_o unfeigned_a love_n to_o the_o everlasting_a truth_n which_o we_o receive_v in_o the_o beginning_n and_o be_o clear_a in_o this_o matter_n before_o the_o lord_n who_o search_v the_o heart_n and_o tri_v the_o rein_n that_o i_o have_v be_v very_o often_o in_o fear_n lest_o that_o precious_a truth_n of_o the_o live_a god_n that_o we_o receive_v in_o the_o begin_n with_o gladness_n of_o heart_n shall_v by_o the_o subtlety_n of_o the_o enemy_n if_o possible_o be_v make_v void_a which_o can_v never_o be_v who_o have_v be_v very_o restless_a and_o have_v leave_v no_o mean_n unattempted_a either_o for_o the_o overthrow_v the_o truth_n and_o righteousness_n of_o god_n or_o the_o undermine_a of_o it_o that_o so_o the_o bless_a truth_n of_o god_n may_v not_o take_v place_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o son_n of_o man_n sure_o strong_a cry_n have_v be_v put_v up_o to_o the_o lord_n that_o the_o enemy_n of_o the_o soul_n may_v never_o be_v able_a to_o hinder_v or_o stop_v the_o break_n forth_o of_o the_o gospel_n of_o peace_n which_o have_v again_o be_v publish_v in_o our_o age_n and_o our_o eye_n have_v behold_v the_o glory_n thereof_o bless_v be_v the_o name_n of_o god_n for_o ever_o to_o you_o my_o brethren_n that_o be_v so_o in_o the_o truth_n i_o can_v free_o open_v my_o heart_n and_o declare_v the_o state_n of_o my_o mind_n to_o it_o be_v now_o about_o fiveteen_fw-mi or_o sixteen_o month_n since_o the_o lord_n call_v for_o this_o service_n and_o testimony_n from_o i_o and_o there_o be_v in_o i_o a_o very_a great_a deal_n of_o backwardness_n to_o it_o and_o a_o fear_n in_o i_o lest_o i_o shall_v do_v hurt_v in_o this_o matter_n and_o still_o when_o i_o lay_v it_o by_o the_o lord_n in_o some_o further_a appearance_n in_o his_o light_n call_v for_o the_o testimony_n that_o he_o have_v make_v to_o appear_v within_o must_v be_v bring_v forth_o for_o his_o name_n sake_n and_o in_o this_o matter_n i_o have_v linger_v long_o till_o almost_o as_o in_o the_o judgement_n of_o some_o now_o almost_o if_o not_o altogether_o to_o late_o yet_o as_o the_o mercy_n of_o the_o lord_n have_v be_v very_o great_a to_o give_v many_o fatherly_a admonition_n and_o yet_o to_o spare_v so_o not_o only_o now_o to_o accept_v but_o also_o as_o at_o the_o beginning_n to_o call_v for_o it_o in_o this_o my_o wittness_n for_o god_n precious_a truth_n what_o ever_o my_o word_n be_v yet_o no_o touch_n of_o bitterness_n in_o my_o spirit_n against_o any_o man_n person_n but_o a_o true_a love_n to_o all_o that_o there_o may_v be_v a_o return_v by_o they_o that_o have_v err_v from_o the_o straight_a way_n to_o the_o pure_a path_n of_o life_n the_o testimony_n that_o god_n call_v for_o be_v that_o notwithstanding_o i_o have_v profess_v his_o name_n and_o suffer_v many_o thing_n for_o bear_v witness_n to_o the_o gospel_n of_o salvation_n yet_o that_o which_o he_o now_o require_v be_v that_o i_o must_v leave_v my_o witness_n among_o my_o friend_n and_o brethren_n for_o the_o everlasting_a and_o unchangeable_a truth_n of_o the_o pure_a god_n that_o whensoever_o the_o lord_n shall_v remove_v i_o out_o of_o this_o house_n of_o clay_n and_o take_v i_o more_o full_o into_o the_o bosom_n of_o eternal_a rest_n that_o this_o may_v signify_v unto_o as_o many_o as_o shall_v come_v to_o read_v these_o few_o line_n what_o be_v the_o ground_n and_o cause_n which_o i_o and_o all_o the_o faithful_a brethren_n and_o friend_n have_v so_o deep_o suffer_v for_o many_o in_o our_o own_o country_n and_o some_o in_o foreign_a part_n which_o suffer_v of_o his_o choose_a once_o although_o despise_v and_o persecute_v in_o this_o generation_n yet_o god_n have_v a_o tender_a respect_n to_o and_o it_o will_v be_v more_o manifest_a in_o due_a time_n my_o true_o belove_a brethren_n and_o friend_n i_o have_v in_o the_o diligence_n of_o my_o soul_n weigh_v and_o consider_v as_o concern_v that_o truth_n which_o we_o receive_v in_o the_o beginning_n which_o we_o have_v so_o earnest_o contend_v for_o and_o that_o with_o so_o much_o hazard_n and_o danger_n even_o the_o loss_n of_o outward_a estate_n and_o liberty_n and_o the_o life_n of_o the_o natural_a man_n and_o whatsoever_o else_o may_v be_v dear_a unto_o we_o in_o this_o present_a world_n yet_o not_o to_o use_v many_o word_n in_o this_o case_n but_o rather_o few_o and_o also_o plainness_n of_o speech_n because_o i_o find_v our_o cause_n our_o witness_n and_o testimony_n in_o this_o our_o generation_n to_o be_v very_o weighty_a and_o of_o exceed_v great_a concern_v in_o as_o much_o as_o it_o concern_v the_o truth_n of_o god_n in_o this_o world_n and_o although_o our_o trial_n and_o suffering_n have_v be_v very_o great_a yet_o at_o this_o time_n they_o need_v not_o be_v reckon_v up_o because_o the_o suffering_n and_o hardship_n we_o have_v undergo_v for_o the_o truth_n or_o in_o the_o present_a generation_n &_o so_o be_v fresh_a in_o memory_n &_o we_o yet_o feel_v the_o so_o be_v of_o they_o and_o what_o we_o may_v yet_o further_o undergo_v for_o the_o same_o cause_n we_o free_o leave_v it_o to_o our_o god_n from_o who_o our_o strength_n be_v and_o in_o weigh_v the_o thing_n before_o the_o lord_n what_o it_o be_v at_o the_o first_o that_o so_o engage_v we_o to_o suffer_v and_o what_o we_o receive_v that_o make_v we_o in_o the_o patience_n and_o meekness_n to_o undergo_v what_o be_v lay_v on_o we_o by_o the_o enemy_n this_o answer_n arise_v from_o the_o lord_n in_o my_o heart_n the_o truth_n as_o it_o be_v in_o christ_n jesus_n and_o in_o the_o word_n there_o be_v and_o be_v a_o soul_n satisfy_v fullness_n then_o i_o consider_v further_o in_o myself_o how_o it_o be_v the_o truth_n as_o it_o be_v in_o jesus_n christ_n and_o the_o word_n further_o be_v that_o which_o never_o change_v now_o my_o dear_a friend_n and_o brethren_n be_v it_o not_o so_o that_o in_o the_o beginning_n we_o do_v in_o truth_n receive_v the_o truth_n as_o it_o be_v in_o jesus_n christ_n bless_a be_v god_n you_o be_v not_o ignorant_a of_o it_o that_o we_o receive_v the_o truth_n in_o the_o love_n of_o it_o as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o everlasting_a light_n of_o god_n power_n and_o the_o way_n thereof_o be_v know_v and_o a_o stranger_n to_o it_o can_v intermeddle_v with_o our_o joy_n let_v his_o word_n be_v what_o ever_o they_o will_v and_o the_o truth_n have_v be_v further_o make_v know_v to_o we_o by_o the_o effect_n of_o it_o and_o therefore_o i_o shall_v speak_v a_o few_o word_n to_o you_o who_o god_n have_v call_v and_o raise_v up_o by_o his_o live_a power_n in_o the_o present_a generation_n to_o bear_v witness_n to_o his_o holy_a name_n it_o be_v not_o only_o fresh_a in_o my_o memory_n but_o i_o feel_v the_o virtue_n of_o it_o still_o bless_a be_v the_o lord_n god_n for_o ever_o how_o the_o truth_n as_o it_o be_v in_o jesus_n at_o the_o first_o more_o abundanly_a than_o ever_o we_o know_v before_o open_v our_o heart_n to_o god_n and_o he_o by_o his_o live_a power_n have_v keep_v they_o so_o that_o the_o enemy_n with_o all_o the_o hard_a usage_n and_o grievous_a persecution_n which_o we_o have_v undergo_v can_v never_o yet_o be_v able_a to_o stop_v the_o spring_n of_o life_n in_o we_o and_o do_v it_o not_o revive_v our_o very_a soul_n and_o it_o be_v indeed_o a_o true_a translation_n from_o death_n to_o life_n and_o so_o we_o come_v to_o know_v what_o the_o true_a love_n of_o the_o brethren_n be_v sure_o it_o be_v so_o at_o that_o day_n we_o be_v mark_n that_o join_v to_o the_o lord_n in_o the_o covenant_n of_o light_n in_o which_o our_o fellowship_n with_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n be_v and_o one_o with_o another_o you_o that_o have_v keep_v your_o integrity_n to_o the_o live_a god_n and_o his_o precious_a mark_n that_o unchangeable_a truth_n how_o be_v it_o with_o we_o in_o the_o day_n when_o we_o give_v up_o our_o name_n to_o the_o lord_n to_o be_v his_o with_o what_o we_o be_v and_o have_v in_o this_o present_a world_n do_v not_o the_o lord_n gain_v into_o himself_o a_o full_a consent_n with_o the_o whole_a mind_n to_o be_v god_n and_o
