withdraw_v his_o special_a presence_n from_o a_o people_n that_o shall_v set_v up_o their_o own_o invention_n for_o it_o be_v a_o mighty_a provocation_n to_o christ_n first_o of_o all_o when_o a_o

and_o therefore_o they_o prove_v desperate_a enemy_n to_o christ_n paul_n make_v a_o acknowledgement_n of_o it_o when_o christ_n come_v to_o open_v his_o eye_n and_o do_v tell_v you_o that_o that_o

that_o account_n man_n be_v many_o time_n very_o zealous_a for_o they_o to_o the_o persecute_v of_o the_o saint_n of_o god_n now_o upon_o this_o account_n the_o lord_n christ_n will_v not_o afford_v his_o presence_n with_o such_o as_o lay_v aside_o his_o rule_n for_o they_o many_o time_n prove_v the_o great_a persecuter_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o people_n four_o christ_n will_v not_o continue_v

to_o christ_n to_o give_v a_o rule_n for_o his_o people_n to_o walk_v by_o and_o therefore_o when_o man_n shall_v set_v up_o their_o rule_n in_o the_o place_n of_o christ_n rule_n what_o do_v they_o

four_o parent_n love_v their_o child_n aright_o when_o as_o they_o be_v much_o pray_v for_o their_o child_n present_v their_o child_n to_o the_o lord_n and_o pray_v for_o they_o cry_v to_o the_o

i_o say_v when_o parent_n be_v careful_a that_o god_n may_v not_o be_v dishonour_v but_o labour_v that_o their_o child_n may_v be_v instrumental_a for_o god_n and_o they_o do_v seek_v the_o lord_n

it_o be_v that_o which_o be_v little_o take_v notice_n of_o but_o it_o be_v that_o which_o we_o and_o all_o in_o the_o world_n have_v cause_n to_o bless_v god_n for_o that_o parent_n yea_o those_o
