have_v see_v a_o thief_n in_o the_o right_a hand_n and_o another_o in_o the_o left_a and_o now_o desire_v to_o embrace_v christ_n the_o truth_n that_o suffer_v between_o they_o and_o remain_v a_o

be_v yet_o a_o stranger_n to_o our_o proceed_n and_o shall_v question_v why_o i_o walk_v so_o long_o among_o they_o as_o nine_o year_n and_o now_o declare_v against_o their_o principle_n and_o practice_n i_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o satisfy_v thou_o with_o this_o brief_a account_n after_o the_o lord_n begin_v to_o work_v upon_o my_o soul_n and_o encourage_v i_o in_o the_o hope_n of_o my_o redemption_n than_o do_v i_o desire_v to_o walk_v with_o those_o that_o i_o think_v be_v near_a unto_o the_o lord_n and_o hear_v of_o this_o people_n to_o cry_v out_o against_o all_o other_o that_o be_v not_o of_o their_o persuasion_n that_o they_o be_v all_o out_o of_o the_o way_n and_o likewise_o hear_v they_o speak_v of_o high_a attainment_n in_o themselves_o that_o they_o be_v come_v to_o the_o new_a jerusalem_n the_o city_n of_o the_o live_a god_n then_o do_v i_o think_v these_o be_v the_o fit_a people_n to_o direct_v i_o thither_o wherefore_o i_o be_v resolve_v to_o follow_v their_o direction_n and_o example_n than_o they_o preach_v that_o we_o have_v a_o light_n within_o we_o that_o show_v we_o good_a and_o evil_n and_o that_o i_o know_v be_v in_o i_o then_o they_o say_v if_o we_o will_v mind_v that_o it_o will_v lead_v we_o out_o of_o all_o evil_a thus_o they_o set_v we_o to_o feed_v upon_o the_o tree_n of_o knowledge_n which_o indeed_o be_v good_a but_o not_o for_o food_n but_o the_o subtle_a twine_a serpent_n call_v it_o the_o tree_n of_o life_n thus_o by_o harken_v unto_o they_o be_v i_o delude_v and_o blind_v to_o forsake_v my_o first_o love_n which_o be_v

because_o we_o will_v not_o go_v along_o with_o they_o than_o we_o complain_v that_o we_o see_v little_a difference_n between_o they_o and_o the_o world_n except_o in_o outward_a show_n for_o one_o will_v overreach_v another_o and_o other_o be_v envious_a and_o backbiter_n and_o many_o other_o thing_n i_o may_v name_v that_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v so_o much_o as_o think_v of_o among_o saint_n than_o will_v they_o slight_v it_o over_o say_v that_o we_o have_v let_v in_o prejudice_n that_o make_v we_o look_v out_o at_o other_o we_o must_v mind_v our_o own_o condition_n thus_o do_v they_o many_o time_n draw_v we_o in_o again_o call_z good_a evil_n and_o evil_a good_a say_v it_o be_v the_o enemy_n that_o will_v lead_v we_o back_o into_o egypt_n when_o it_o be_v the_o lord_n that_o in_o
