that_o be_v he_o can_v have_v write_v his_o law_n in_o their_o heart_n and_o in_o their_o inward_a part_n jer._n 31.33_o if_o he_o have_v not_o reflect_v on_o himself_o in_o say_v so_o upon_o the_o

from_o the_o beginning_n a_o stubborn_a people_n conceit_v of_o their_o own_o righteousness_n and_o so_o mind_v no_o spiritual_a help_n nor_o willing_a to_o receive_v christ_n and_o to_o believe_v in_o he_o in_o the_o day_n of_o his_o appearance_n in_o the_o flesh_n and_o for_o that_o utter_o reject_v from_o god_n and_o disperse_v through_o all_o the_o world_n have_v no_o certain_a mansion_n but_o the_o whole_a world_n for_o their_o father_n land_n so_o then_o have_v well_o consider_v that_o the_o chief_a good_a of_o a_o man_n be_v god_n and_o that_o none_o can_v attain_v to_o the_o enjoyment_n of_o he_o but_o by_o the_o king_n messiah_n which_o be_v christ_n it_o be_v high_a time_n for_o i_o to_o look_v after_o my_o salvation_n and_o to_o search_v well_o what_o the_o messiah_n shall_v be_v if_o he_o be_v come_v and_o for_o what_o he_o shall_v come_v and_o if_o christ_n in_o who_o christian_n believe_v be_v the_o true_a messiah_n therefore_o many_o a_o time_n do_v i_o enter_v into_o myself_o as_o one_o that_o be_v abstract_v from_o all_o opinion_n and_o have_v reject_v the_o vail_n of_o moses_n do_v consider_v by_o what_o way_n i_o may_v obtain_v the_o salvation_n of_o my_o soul_n and_o body_n and_o so_o take_v hold_v of_o that_o good_a which_o exceed_v all_o thing_n of_o the_o world_n and_o indeed_o by_o many_o weighty_a scripture_n and_o by_o the_o fulfil_n of_o they_o i_o be_v sufficient_o persuade_v that_o the_o promise_v messiah_n be_v come_v and_o that_o jesus_n be_v the_o same_o who_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o the_o brightness_n of_o his_o

the_o right-hand_a of_o the_o majesty_n on_o high_a heb._n 1.3_o therefore_o my_o only_a desire_n be_v to_o join_v with_o they_o that_o profess_v he_o and_o believe_v in_o his_o name_n and_o albeit_o i_o see_v many_o different_a opinion_n among_o christian_n yet_o consider_v that_o among_o the_o jew_n where_o the_o church_n have_v be_v former_o be_v many_o sect_n and_o among_o all_o of_o they_o one_o must_v be_v true_a viz._n which_o believe_v according_a to_o the_o promise_n and_o do_v according_a to_o the_o law_n i_o be_v steadfast_a in_o my_o first_o resolution_n and_o my_o only_a desire_n be_v to_o be_v a_o live_a member_n of_o christ_n as_o of_o a_o saviour_n and_o a_o prince_n of_o the_o world_n and_o see_v those_o church_n which_o be_v call_v protestant_n do_v exact_o believe_v according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o scripture_n i_o resolve_v to_o adjoyn_v myself_o to_o they_o and_o to_o partake_v of_o the_o same_o benefit_n as_o they_o but_o because_o i_o can_v not_o make_v a_o public_a profession_n of_o my_o fairh_n in_o poland_n where_o i_o be_v bear_v where_o they_o be_v almost_o all_o papist_n and_o hate_v the_o protestant_n above_o the_o jew_n yea_o above_o the_o heathen_n themselves_o i_o stay_v until_o i_o have_v a_o convenient_a occasion_n to_o embrace_v jesus_n public_o and_o to_o make_v my_o brethren_n partaker_n of_o my_o joy_n in_o christ_n and_o it_o happen_v so_o that_o be_v here_o in_o london_n my_o eye_n be_v open_v daily_o more_o and_o more_o and_o i_o think_v myself_o bind_v not_o to_o defer_v any_o long_o but_o to_o obey_v the_o call_n of_o my_o god_n as_o soon_o as_o ever_o possible_a because_o it_o be_v a_o work_n of_o that_o great_a salvation_n heb._n 2.3_o unto_o the_o performance_n of_o which_o every_o one_o be_v to_o hasten_v
