year_n we_o say_v man_n be_v not_o true_a christian_n by_o generation_n neither_o by_o a_o outward_a profession_n but_o by_o a_o inward_a change_n in_o the_o heart_n wrought_v by_o the_o power_n of_o god_n in_o the_o regeneration_n and_o so_o if_o it_o be_v but_o a_o few_o year_n in_o comparison_n since_o we_o or_o any_o of_o we_o be_v change_v and_o turn_v to_o the_o lord_n yet_o it_o be_v in_o the_o time_n when_o the_o lord_n be_v please_v and_o see_v good_a to_o visit_v we_o and_o we_o can_v true_o say_v it_o be_v a_o acceptable_a day_n and_o time_n when_o we_o be_v turn_v from_o darkness_n to_o the_o true_a light_n and_o from_o the_o power_n of_o satan_n to_o god_n and_o we_o be_v glad_a of_o it_o and_o can_v say_v bless_a be_v the_o lord_n for_o it_o if_o it_o have_v be_v but_o yesterday_o that_o any_o of_o we_o be_v renew_v in_o the_o spirit_n of_o our_o mind_n to_o god_n for_o it_o be_v matter_n of_o joy_n to_o we_o that_o the_o lord_n have_v gather_v we_o in_o our_o day_n and_o time_n from_o off_o the_o barren_a mountain_n into_o his_o fold_n to_o wait_v upon_o he_o and_o to_o receive_v teach_v and_o satisfaction_n from_o he_o this_o be_v far_o more_o to_o we_o to_o know_v the_o lord_n change_v we_o in_o our_o day_n and_o bring_v we_o to_o know_v the_o thing_n that_o pertain_v to_o our_o everlasting_a peace_n than_o to_o have_v a_o large_a profession_n of_o the_o saint_n word_n and_o yet_o to_o be_v out_o of_o the_o saint_n life_n and_o out_o of_o the_o way_n where_o true_a peace_n and_o rest_n be_v find_v to_o the_o soul_n and_o so_o the_o lord_n have_v manifest_v his_o truth_n to_o we_o and_o bring_v we_o into_o the_o religion_n in_o which_o he_o manifest_v his_o presence_n to_o we_o we_o be_v content_a to_o wait_v in_o the_o will_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o may_v not_o forsake_v our_o religion_n nor_o the_o assemble_v of_o ourselves_o together_o because_o man_n say_v to_o the_o contrary_a but_o walk_v according_a to_o the_o gift_n of_o god_n by_o which_o only_o it_o be_v that_o true_a and_o faithful_a service_n be_v perform_v unto_o he_o 4._o again_o we_o meet_v together_o to_o wait_v upon_o the_o lord_n that_o our_o conscience_n may_v be_v keep_v clear_a towards_o he_o that_o we_o may_v have_v the_o answer_n of_o a_o good_a conscience_n towards_o god_n which_o if_o we_o shall_v walk_v contrary_a to_o that_o which_o the_o lord_n have_v make_v manifest_a here_o will_v be_v shipwreck_n of_o faith_n and_o a_o good_a conscience_n for_o so_o it_o be_v former_o if_o any_o forsake_v the_o lord_n and_o his_o truth_n after_o they_o have_v taste_v of_o his_o good_a word_n if_o they_o fall_v away_o from_o that_o which_o they_o have_v once_o know_v and_o profess_v of_o the_o truth_n and_o gospel_n of_o jesus_n they_o make_v shipwreck_n of_o faith_n and_o a_o good_a conscience_n and_o then_o they_o can_v not_o have_v the_o answer_n of_o a_o good_a conscience_n neither_o have_v they_o peace_n with_o god_n and_o what_o remain_v if_o they_o continue_v so_o but_o a_o certain_a fearful_a look_v for_o of_o judgement_n and_o fiery_a indignation_n which_o will_v devour_v and_o therefore_o we_o know_v the_o preciousness_n of_o the_o answer_n of_o a_o good_a conscience_n towards_o god_n do_v prize_v it_o and_o esteem_v it_o as_o a_o jewel_n of_o great_a worth_n and_o we_o may_v not_o forsake_v the_o way_n of_o the_o lord_n wherein_o we_o have_v the_o answer_n of_o a_o good_a conscience_n because_o of_o outward_a force_n and_o go_v into_o that_o in_o which_o we_o shall_v suffer_v anguish_n and_o have_v a_o certain_a fearful_a look_v for_o of_o judgement_n and_o a_o sting_n in_o our_o own_o conscience_n therefore_o we_o can_v put_v it_o to_o all_o who_o fear_v the_o lord_n to_o judge_v of_o if_o it_o be_v not_o safe_a for_o we_o to_o abide_v in_o the_o way_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o to_o be_v faithful_a to_o he_o though_o we_o may_v meet_v with_o suffering_n in_o this_o world._n 5._o again_o we_o meet_v together_o in_o the_o fear_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o own_o the_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n to_o live_v in_o it_o because_o we_o be_v persuade_v in_o the_o fear_n and_o power_n of_o the_o lord_n god_n of_o life_n who_o be_v our_o strength_n that_o nothing_o shall_v be_v able_a to_o separate_v we_o from_o the_o love_n of_o god_n which_o we_o have_v in_o christ_n jesus_n our_o lord_n the_o love_n of_o god_n be_v so_o comfortable_a and_o his_o favour_n be_v so_o refresh_v to_o we_o and_o the_o testimony_n of_o his_o spirit_n be_v so_o satisfactory_a in_o our_o heart_n that_o we_o be_v persuade_v nothing_o will_v be_v able_a to_o separate_v we_o our_o strength_n be_v in_o the_o lord_n and_o he_o be_v all-sufficient_a to_o keep_v we_o through_o all_o by_o his_o mighty_a power_n unto_o the_o end_n wait_v upon_o he_o and_o abide_v in_o his_o power_n he_o be_v able_a to_o save_v to_o the_o uttermost_a and_o this_o be_v the_o saint_n former_o persuade_v off_o that_o nothing_o shall_v be_v able_a to_o separate_v they_o from_o the_o love_n of_o god_n and_o they_o meet_v with_o many_o hardship_n and_o be_v oftentimse_n cruel_o entreat_v and_o shameful_o handle_v as_o the_o scripture_n declare_v yet_o through_o all_o the_o lord_n be_v with_o his_o people_n and_o comfort_v their_o heart_n in_o their_o follow_v of_o he_o and_o the_o love_n of_o god_n abound_v to_o they_o and_o in_o they_o and_o they_o be_v conqueror_n through_o he_o that_o love_v they_o now_o if_o any_o at_o that_o time_n deny_v the_o truth_n for_o fear_n of_o man_n or_o any_o other_o thing_n they_o come_v to_o suffer_v in_o their_o heart_n and_o to_o feel_v sorrow_n in_o their_o inward_a man_n for_o when_o iniquity_n enter_v into_o the_o heart_n it_o darken_v the_o understanding_n and_o also_o the_o creature_n lose_v the_o sense_n of_o the_o love_n of_o god_n and_o if_o there_o be_v not_o repentance_n and_o a_o return_v unto_o the_o lord_n iniquity_n grow_v more_o strong_a and_o love_n grow_v cold_a in_o such_o and_o the_o heart_n grow_v worse_a and_o worse_o and_o be_v harden_v by_o degree_n against_o the_o lord_n and_o his_o people_n and_o then_o there_o be_v a_o separation_n from_o the_o love_n of_o god_n and_o the_o feel_n and_o earnest_n of_o sorrow_n and_o tribulation_n upon_o every_o one_o that_o do_v evil_a therefore_o we_o be_v persuade_v that_o it_o be_v safe_a for_o we_o to_o wait_v upon_o the_o lord_n in_o the_o way_n which_o he_o have_v make_v manifest_a unto_o we_o that_o so_o we_o may_v receive_v the_o power_n to_o renew_v our_o strength_n that_o we_o may_v walk_v on_o in_o the_o path_n of_o life_n and_o nothing_o separate_v we_o from_o the_o love_n of_o god_n which_o we_o have_v in_o christ_n jesus_n shall_v tribulation_n or_o affliction_n or_o principality_n or_o power_n separate_v we_o from_o the_o love_n of_o god_n shall_v force_n by_o carnal_a weapon_n or_o prison_n cause_v we_o to_o deny_v that_o which_o god_n have_v make_v manifest_a unto_o we_o be_v there_o power_n against_o we_o throne_n against_o we_o well_o this_o be_v safe_a for_o we_o to_o abide_v in_o the_o counsel_n of_o god_n that_o we_o may_v always_o feel_v his_o love_n in_o our_o heart_n and_o if_o we_o suffer_v let_v we_o suffer_v here_o because_o of_o our_o faithfulness_n to_o the_o lord_n if_o we_o must_v go_v to_o prison_n let_v we_o stand_v in_o the_o power_n of_o god_n that_o his_o love_n and_o life_n blessing_n and_o heavenly_a presence_n may_v be_v with_o we_o better_a to_o suffer_v outward_o in_o prison_n and_o holes_n and_o have_v the_o love_n and_o presence_n of_o the_o lord_n with_o we_o then_o to_o disobey_v the_o lord_n and_o walk_v contrary_a to_o his_o gift_n and_o so_o suffer_v inward_a anguish_n and_o sorrow_n of_o heart_n and_o some_o thing_n separate_v we_o from_o the_o love_n of_o god_n and_o then_o who_o can_v speak_v peace_n to_o we_o if_o the_o lord_n speak_v trouble_v but_o if_o the_o lord_n speak_v peace_n it_o be_v no_o matter_n though_o man_n may_v speak_v trouble_n though_o the_o wrath_n of_o man_n may_v rise_v high_a yet_o he_o that_o do_v whatsoever_o he_o will_v in_o heaven_n and_o in_o earth_n he_o can_v make_v it_o to_o turn_v to_o his_o praise_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o it_o he_o will_v restrain_v and_o bless_v be_v they_o that_o have_v the_o lord_n with_o they_o on_o their_o side_n he_o speak_v peace_n to_o they_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o all_o his_o love_n refresh_v our_o heart_n and_o so_o to_o put_v all_o out_o of_o doubt_n we_o be_v persuade_v in_o the_o power_n of_o the_o lord_n that_o nothing_o will_v be_v able_a to_o separate_v we_o from_o the_o love_n which_o we_o have_v in_o our_o saviour_n and_o here_o it_o

and_o by_o the_o sea_n side_n and_o in_o house_n and_o so_o do_v his_o apostle_n and_o disciple_n and_o though_o the_o jew_n have_v a_o temple_n call_v holy_a in_o the_o old_a testament_n and_o a_o
