that_o despise_v the_o light_n account_v it_o as_o a_o thing_n of_o nought_o call_v it_o natural_a or_o diabolical_a or_o a_o unholy_a thing_n esteem_v it_o too_o mean_v a_o meat_n for_o your_o stuff_v up_o stomach_n and_o can_v yet_o be_v digest_v by_o you_o what_o better_a testimony_n will_v you_o have_v will_v you_o have_v one_o arise_v from_o the_o dead_a here_o be_v john_n a_o man_n send_v from_o god_n and_o here_o be_v christ_n jesus_n which_o rise_v from_o the_o dead_a which_o death_n can_v not_o bold_a also_o we_o have_v the_o testimony_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n and_o have_v receive_v this_o testimony_n we_o have_v the_o witness_v in_o ourselves_o and_o can_v set_v to_o our_o seal_n that_o god_n be_v true_a john_n 3.35_o and_o that_o there_o be_v no_o other_o way_n to_o the_o father_n but_o by_o christ_n jesus_n the_o light_n which_o be_v the_o life_n and_o blood_n of_o the_o everlasting_a covenant_n though_o many_o set_v it_o at_o nought_o and_o will_v not_o stoop_v to_o so_o small_a a_o thing_n yet_o all_o the_o power_n of_o darkness_n can_v comprehend_v it_o it_o will_v break_v through_o they_o all_o to_o your_o condemnation_n that_o be_v disobedient_a and_o for_o proof_n thereof_o i_o appeal_v to_o every_o of_o your_o conscience_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n and_o let_v the_o light_n therein_o which_o abide_v in_o you_o which_o be_v truth_n and_o no_o lie_n john_n 2.27_o let_v it_o declare_v for_o i_o whether_o any_o of_o you_o can_v hide_v you_o from_o it_o if_o you_o take_v the_o wing_n of_o the_o morning_n as_o david_n say_v and_o fly_v into_o the_o uttermost_a part_n of_o the_o earth_n it_o will_v find_v you_o out_o do_v what_o you_o will_v it_o will_v declare_v the_o nature_n of_o your_o deed_n when_o you_o do_v evil_a at_o home_n or_o abroad_o never_o so_o secret_o when_o no_o man_n see_v it_o will_v condemn_v you_o and_o when_o you_o do_v well_o it_o will_v justify_v and_o you_o will_v feel_v peace_n and_o joy_n in_o that_o work_n it_o will_v tell_v you_o all_o that_o ever_o you_o do_v as_o the_o woman_n of_o samaria_n say_v be_v not_o this_o the_o christ_n come_v and_o see_v then_o they_o come_v and_o see_v and_o believe_v also_o not_o because_o of_o her_o word_n but_o by_o what_o they_o hear_v from_o he_o themselves_o say_v they_o know_v indeed_o that_o this_o be_v the_o very_a christ_n john_n 4.42_o so_o be_v entreat_v as_o a_o man_n will_v entreat_v his_o friend_n who_o he_o love_v to_o come_v with_o the_o samaritan_n and_o see_v whether_o it_o be_v not_o so_o as_o we_o have_v say_v she_o be_v but_o one_o and_o that_o a_o woman_n yet_o they_o come_v forth_o with_o she_o to_o see_v if_o it_o be_v he_o and_o it_o be_v he_o and_o they_o believe_v but_o we_o be_v many_o witness_n and_o testify_v what_o we_o have_v hear_v and_o see_v and_o handle_v of_o he_o so_o once_o more_o i_o say_v be_v entreat_v to_o come_v and_o see_v not_o to_o come_v forth_o after_o we_o and_o follow_v we_o as_o he_o say_v luke_n 17.21_o 23._o but_o to_o turn_n in_o your_o mind_n i_o mean_v to_o the_o light_n of_o christ_n jesus_n in_o your_o own_o heart_n for_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n be_v within_o you_o and_o there_o hearken_v to_o he_o that_o be_v the_o light_n of_o the_o world_n mark_v the_o world_n be_v set_v in_o man_n heart_n eccles_n 3.11_o and_o when_o you_o have_v hear_v and_o obey_v for_o that_o be_v believe_v indeed_o i_o question_v not_o but_o you_o will_v be_v ready_a to_o say_v with_o the_o samaritan_n that_o you_o know_v that_o he_o be_v indeed_o the_o very_a christ_n so_o put_v not_o off_o by_o delay_n but_o while_o the_o lord_n call_v do_v you_o answer_v and_o while_o he_o seek_v be_v you_o gather_v prov._n 1.24.26_o yea_o while_o the_o light_n and_o love_n of_o god_n be_v with_o you_o believe_v in_o it_o receive_v it_o and_o walk_v in_o it_o for_o darkness_n come_v when_o no_o man_n shall_v walk_v or_o work_v john_n 22_o 35_o 36._o and_o the_o light_n of_o the_o

upon_o they_o then_o may_v they_o cry_v to_o the_o mountain_n fall_v on_o we_o and_o to_o the_o hill_n to_o cover_v we_o even_o they_o i_o mean_v that_o slight_v their_o day_n of_o visitation_n and_o
