when_o my_o day_n be_v at_o a_o end_n then_o as_o to_o my_o employment_n of_o periwig_n make_v it_o be_v more_o than_o twelve_o year_n since_o i_o begin_v to_o make_v they_o &_o much_o may_v be_v say_v for_o the_o make_n of_o they_o by_o some_o yet_o much_o question_v &_o reason_v have_v i_o have_v within_o myself_o for_o some_o year_n so_o that_o at_o some_o time_n i_o have_v be_v trouble_v when_o i_o have_v be_v make_v of_o they_o and_o i_o can_v not_o tell_v what_o be_v the_o reason_n of_o my_o trouble_n except_o that_o be_v and_o sometime_o when_o i_o have_v see_v some_o of_o my_o friend_n come_v in_o i_o have_v be_v ready_a to_o put_v they_o out_o of_o my_o sight_n and_o can_v not_o go_v on_o with_o any_o content_a but_o trouble_v so_o long_o as_o they_o be_v look_v on_o i_o and_o some_o have_v speak_v to_o i_o and_o tell_v i_o they_o think_v i_o do_v not_o do_v well_o in_o make_v of_o they_o &_o to_o this_o purpose_n they_o have_v speak_v and_o many_o time_n i_o have_v reason_v with_o myself_o after_o this_o manner_n what_o need_v i_o make_v such_o ado_n and_o be_v so_o much_o concern_v there_o be_v hardly_o any_o man_n but_o be_v desirous_a of_o a_o good_a head_n of_o hair_n and_o if_o nature_n do_v not_o afford_v it_o if_o there_o be_v a_o art_n to_o make_v a_o decent_a wig_n or_o border_n what_o harm_n be_v that_o object_n but_o be_v there_o not_o several_a of_o thy_o friend_n who_o wear_v border_n and_o be_v account_v honest_a man_n answ_n as_o for_o those_o who_o hair_n be_v waste_v fall_v and_o go_v off_o their_o head_n through_o infirmity_n of_o body_n and_o for_o want_v of_o it_o do_v find_v that_o their_o health_n be_v impair_v or_o lessen_v if_o such_o do_v wear_v short_a border_n so_o their_o health_n sake_n and_o for_o no_o other_o end_n or_o cause_v whatsoever_o i_o judge_v they_o not_o but_o let_v none_o make_v a_o pretence_n that_o they_o wear_v border_n or_o wig_n for_o their_o health_n when_o in_o reality_n another_o thing_n be_v the_o cause_n for_o god_n the_o righteous_a judge_n see_v in_o secret_n and_o he_o hate_v pride_n &_o hypocrisy_n the_o spirit_n of_o which_o be_v judge_v &_o for_o ever_o to_o be_v judge_v with_o all_o its_o fruit_n by_o the_o lord_n and_o his_o people_n and_o let_v all_o those_o who_o have_v hair_n grow_v upon_o their_o head_n sufficient_a to_o serve_v they_o i_o mean_v what_o be_v real_o needful_a or_o useful_a be_v content_a therewith_o and_o not_o find_v fault_n with_o their_o own_o hair_n and_o cut_v it_o off_o and_o lust_n after_o and_o put_v on_o other_o hair_n and_o further_o thus_o i_o reason_v be_v there_o not_o some_o of_o thy_o friend_n who_o make_v they_o &_o sell_v hair_n for_o the_o make_n of_o they_o and_o drive_v a_o great_a trade_n and_o what_o do_v i_o not_o think_v that_o they_o have_v not_o as_o much_o care_n to_o go_v to_o heaven_n as_o i_o have_v and_o what_o need_v i_o make_v such_o ado_n and_o be_v so_o concern_v but_o all_o this_o will_v not_o do_v but_o here_o lay_v that_o which_o be_v very_o near_o i_o that_o be_v if_o god_n shall_v call_v i_o to_o account_v at_o this_o very_a time_n while_o i_o be_o reason_v after_o this_o manner_n whether_o or_o no_o i_o can_v stand_v clear_a in_o his_o sight_n and_o make_v they_o for_o if_o i_o stand_v condemn_v in_o god_n sight_n it_o be_v not_o this_o man_n make_v of_o they_o nor_o the_o other_o man_n wear_v of_o they_o that_o will_v justify_v i_o in_o god_n sight_n for_o if_o god_n condemn_v i_o in_o my_o conscience_n i_o know_v no_o man_n live_v who_o can_v justify_v or_o take_v away_o that_o gild_n and_o here_o i_o stand_v in_o this_o condition_n for_o some_o time_n and_o the_o lord_n know_v the_o travel_n of_o my_o soul_n in_o these_o thing_n and_o i_o know_v not_o what_o i_o shall_v do_v to_o be_v clear_v of_o they_o so_o that_o i_o have_v be_v almost_o out_o of_o hope_n sometime_o and_o say_v within_o myself_o and_o cry_v i_o be_o afraid_a i_o shall_v die_v with_o this_o upon_o my_o conscience_n and_o then_o what_o will_v become_v of_o i_o hereafter_o and_o how_o can_v i_o stand_v clear_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n that_o be_o condemn_v for_o it_o in_o my_o conscience_n but_o my_o prayer_n and_o cry_n be_v for_o god_n to_o deliver_v i_o for_o i_o can_v not_o deliver_v myself_o out_o of_o it_o but_o here_o i_o lie_v one_o day_n after_o another_o cry_n to_o god_n to_o be_v deliver_v so_o sudden_o after_o our_o dreadful_a fire_n in_o which_o i_o be_v with_o h_o the_o rest_n of_o my_o neighbour_n a_o partaker_n of_o that_o judgement_n than_o i_o be_v more_o concern_v then_o before_o so_o that_o i_o know_v not_o what_o to_o do_v to_o get_v over_o it_o it_o lay_v so_o hard_o upon_o i_o to_o bear_v but_o still_o this_o curse_a enemy_n of_o my_o soul_n this_o self-end_n spirit_n begin_v to_o work_v with_o i_o again_o and_o reason_n with_o i_o after_o this_o manner_n what_o be_o i_o resolve_v to_o ruin_v myself_o and_o turn_v away_o all_o if_o i_o do_v leave_v this_o i_o must_v expect_v to_o lose_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o my_o trim_v trade_n and_o i_o have_v better_o leave_v off_o that_o then_o leave_v off_o this_o periwig-making_a it_o fit_v so_o well_o with_o i_o in_o the_o condition_n i_o be_o in_o by_o reason_n of_o my_o lameness_n i_o have_v a_o considerable_a trade_n in_o it_o with_o several_a of_o my_o acquaintance_n in_o town_n and_o country_n and_o some_o of_o they_o be_v person_n of_o quality_n and_o wish_v i_o very_o well_o and_o if_o i_o leave_v that_o i_o shall_v disoblige_v they_o much_o and_o what_o will_v i_o do_v then_o be_o i_o mind_v to_o undo_v myself_o but_o still_o there_o be_v a_o inward_a cry_n in_o i_o lord_n save_o my_o soul_n for_o that_o lie_v at_o stake_n and_o it_o be_v that_o i_o plead_v for_o and_o i_o care_v not_o what_o i_o go_v through_o so_o my_o soul_n may_v have_v peace_n with_o thou_o when_o my_o day_n be_v at_o a_o end_n for_o my_o soul_n be_v for_o everlasting_a but_o this_o trouble_n can_v last_v long_o these_o thing_n stick_v very_o hard_o with_o i_o that_o make_v i_o cry_v out_o night_n and_o day_n lord_n deliver_v i_o and_o help_v i_o over_o this_o weight_n and_o pain_n that_o be_v upon_o my_o spirit_n and_o i_o care_v not_o what_o i_o do_v so_o i_o may_v be_v clear_a of_o they_o so_o through_o much_o trouble_n of_o spirit_z i_o be_v willing_a to_o leave_v they_o but_o this_o will_v not_o clear_v i_o but_o as_o i_o have_v be_v a_o public_a professor_n of_o this_o employment_n for_o some_o time_n i_o must_v bear_v my_o testimony_n against_o they_o and_o that_o be_v i_o shall_v send_v for_o my_o two_o man_n as_o i_o have_v instruct_v in_o that_o way_n and_o tell_v they_o how_o i_o be_v trouble_v and_o take_v a_o wig_n and_o burn_v it_o before_o they_o as_o a_o testimony_n for_o god_n against_o they_o but_o this_o be_v very_o hard_o but_o no_o peace_n can_v i_o have_v before_o i_o do_v it_o and_o much_o pain_n and_o sorrow_n i_o have_v before_o i_o do_v it_o and_o no_o comfort_n but_o torment_v of_o mind_n i_o have_v till_o i_o have_v give_v up_o to_o do_v it_o so_o according_a to_o the_o pain_n and_o sorrow_n that_o lie_v hard_o upon_o i_o i_o give_v up_o to_o do_v it_o and_o i_o thank_v god_n i_o have_v much_o ease_n &_o comfort_n of_o mind_n since_o i_o have_v do_v it_o for_o the_o lord_n have_v not_o put_v i_o upon_o any_o thing_n but_o what_o he_o have_v give_v i_o strength_n to_o go_v through_o and_o he_o be_v not_o a_o hard_a master_n and_o i_o have_v great_a peace_n and_o comfort_n in_o what_o i_o have_v do_v which_o be_v more_o to_o i_o then_o all_o the_o perish_a fade_v thing_n in_o this_o world_n and_o whoever_o he_o be_v that_o do_v expect_v peace_n with_o god_n in_o himself_o he_o must_v know_v a_o cross_n to_o his_o own_o will_n to_o cross_v his_o sinful_a thought_n word_n and_o action_n and_o whatever_o he_o know_v god_n require_v of_o he_o he_o must_v do_v it_o though_o it_o be_v a_o great_a cross_n to_o he_o though_o it_o be_v very_o hard_a to_o flesh_n and_o blood_n flesh_n and_o blood_n can_v inherit_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n but_o a_o man_n must_v be_v bear_v again_o and_o as_o true_o it_o be_v witness_v as_o ever_o it_o be_v write_v in_o the_o scripture_n god_n people_n this_o day_n do_v know_v this_o spiritual_a birth_n bless_a be_v god_n for_o ever_o and_o they_o travel_v in_o spirit_n
