that_o come_v into_o the_o world_n and_o as_o the_o light_n be_v true_a or_o truth_n itself_o so_o the_o expectation_n be_v to_o be_v draw_v off_o from_o all_o other_o thing_n as_o be_v false_a and_o the_o mind_n be_v to_o turn_v to_o the_o light_n as_o be_v only_o true_a and_o though_o it_o seem_v as_o a_o low_a or_o little_a thing_n in_o its_o manifestation_n yet_o there_o be_v nothing_o which_o

of_o small_a thing_n can_v come_v to_o the_o day_n of_o glory_n where_o the_o son_n rule_v and_o here_o many_o have_v suffer_v loss_n as_o to_o the_o benefit_n which_o in_o the_o light_n they_o may_v

such_o as_o walk_v in_o darkness_n know_v not_o whither_o they_o go_v because_o darkness_n have_v blind_v their_o mind_n and_o this_o have_v be_v a_o occasion_n of_o stumble_v unto_o many_o who_o have_v not_o love_v the_o light_n but_o despise_v it_o for_o in_o darkness_n they_o stumble_v and_o many_o time_n fall_v but_o in_o the_o light_n which_o be_v the_o plain_a path_n there_o be_v no_o

peace_n for_o they_o that_o despise_v the_o day_n of_o small_a thing_n they_o despise_v that_o by_o which_o peace_n come_v and_o none_o can_v have_v peace_n whilst_o they_o despise_v that_o by_o which_o it_o come_v for_o they_o that_o will_v have_v peace_n with_o god_n must_v receive_v and_o entertain_v the_o light_n and_o not_o despise_v it_o and_o though_o it_o may_v appear_v but_o as_o a_o little_a thing_n yet_o peace_n be_v find_v in_o the_o least_o appearance_n of_o it_o as_o it_o be_v love_v and_o obey_v but_o the_o high_a and_o softy_a can_v bow_v unto_o it_o the_o birth_n of_o flesh_n and_o blood_n and_o of_o the_o will_n of_o man_n expect_v some_o high_a and_o great_a thing_n and_o when_o the_o light_n manifest_v itself_o by_o reproof_n in_o the_o conscience_n there_o be_v not_o submission_n but_o rather_o despise_v for_o the_o broad_a way_n be_v more_o delightful_a to_o that_o birth_n than_o the_o narrow_a and_o therefore_o it_o be_v that_o the_o broad_a way_n be_v fill_v with_o many_o walker_n and_o so_o many_o may_v see_v the_o morning_n and_o not_o come_v to_o see_v the_o perfect_a day_n for_o if_o the_o light_n in_o its_o manifestation_n be_v not_o love_v and_o obey_v there_o be_v not_o a_o go_v forward_o in_o the_o truth_n nor_o any_o growth_n and_o increase_v witness_v and_o so_o the_o light_n have_v manifest_v itself_o in_o many_o and_o they_o have_v see_v the_o darkness_n by_o the_o manifestation_n but_o not_o love_v and_o obey_v the_o light_n that_o it_o may_v become_v their_o teacher_n and_o leader_n they_o still_o abide_v in_o darkness_n and_o be_v not_o redeem_v and_o deliver_v and_o that_o be_v the_o thraldom_n and_o bondage_n where_o many_o yet_o remain_v who_o have_v be_v visit_v with_o the_o dayspring_n from_o on_o high_a they_o do_v not_o love_v nor_o obey_v the_o light_n when_o it_o spring_v and_o manifest_v itself_o unto_o they_o and_o so_o they_o keep_v themselves_o in_o their_o own_o sorrow_n and_o misery_n by_o love_v and_o obey_v darkness_n for_o if_o the_o light_n be_v follow_v in_o love_n as_o be_v only_o true_a there_o be_v not_o a_o abide_n in_o darkness_n but_o a_o come_n to_o the_o light_n of_o life_n and_o so_o christ_n say_v i_o be_o the_o light_n of_o the_o world_n he_o that_o follow_v i_o shall_v not_o abide_v in_o darkness_n which_o thing_n be_v true_a in_o he_o and_o in_o all_o those_o that_o follow_v he_o for_o in_o the_o appearance_n of_o his_o light_n the_o darkness_n pass_v away_o and_o the_o power_n of_o it_o grow_v weak_a and_o then_o come_v redemption_n and_o deliverance_n out_o of_o darkness_n unto_o those_o that_o love_n and_o obey_v the_o light_n and_o so_o they_o come_v out_o of_o the_o pollution_n and_o defilement_n into_o that_o which_o be_v pure_a and_o holy_a and_o righteous_a and_o these_o be_v only_o the_o people_n which_o be_v find_v to_o the_o praise_n and_o glory_n of_o god_n for_o who_o have_v be_v visit_v and_o do_v not_o obey_v the_o lord_n they_o be_v not_o find_v to_o his_o praise_n and_o glory_n but_o be_v sound_n in_o that_o by_o which_o god_n be_v dishonour_v and_o who_o have_v taste_v of_o the_o good_a word_n of_o god_n and_o the_o power_n of_o the_o world_n to_o come_v and_o have_v see_v many_o great_a and_o wonderful_a thing_n and_o afterward_o go_v from_o the_o light_n and_o lose_v their_o steadfastness_n they_o be_v not_o find_v to_o the_o praise_n and_o glory_n of_o god_n but_o dishonour_v his_o name_n and_o truth_n and_o people_n for_o they_o that_o sometime_o do_v own_o the_o light_n to_o be_v true_a or_o truth_n itself_o and_o for_o a_o season_n rejoice_v in_o it_o and_o as_o disciple_n take_v up_o the_o cross_n to_o follow_v it_o and_o now_o be_v grow_v weary_a of_o walk_v in_o the_o narrow_a way_n and_o
