true_a minister_n do_v to_o who_o the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n come_v say_v i_o have_v ordain_v thou_o a_o prophet_n unto_o the_o nation_n mark_v not_o to_o a_o town_n or_o a_o city_n to_o remain_v in_o for_o many_o year_n together_o but_o to_o the_o nation_n and_o in_o obedience_n to_o the_o live_a god_n he_o testify_v against_o the_o world_n that_o their_o deed_n be_v evil_a but_o they_o can_v not_o bear_v his_o word_n but_o say_v he_o be_v worthy_a to_o die_v and_o so_o the_o priest_n and_o false_a prophet_n join_v with_o the_o prince_n and_o ruler_n of_o the_o people_n and_o cast_v he_o into_o prison_n and_o into_o the_o dungeon_n where_o he_o do_v sink_v among_o the_o mire_n that_o be_v in_o it_o read_v in_o his_o prophecy_n and_o you_o will_v find_v it_o so_o and_o this_o be_v that_o which_o the_o true_a prophet_n and_o minister_n of_o christ_n receive_v from_o the_o world_n where_o they_o go_v stocking_n whip_a and_o imprisonment_n thus_o be_v they_o requite_v evil_a for_o good_a in_o all_o age_n for_o their_o love_n which_o they_o do_v bear_v to_o the_o soul_n of_o the_o son_n of_o man_n and_o the_o same_o must_v we_o expect_v from_o this_o generation_n wherein_o we_o live_v we_o who_o the_o lord_n have_v call_v to_o place_v his_o name_n in_o and_o have_v send_v we_o forth_o in_o this_o day_n of_o his_o love_n to_o preach_v his_o everlasting_a gospel_n to_o they_o which_o dwell_v upon_o the_o earth_n in_o love_n and_o pity_n to_o their_o soul_n but_o they_o regard_v it_o not_o though_o we_o go_v thousand_o of_o mile_n for_o the_o seed_n sake_n which_o lie_v in_o death_n yet_o the_o reward_n of_o our_o labour_n from_o they_o be_v prison_n and_o whip_n to_o scourge_v we_o withal_o and_o knife_n prepare_v to_o cut_v off_o ear_n and_o iron_n hot_a to_o burn_v in_o the_o hand_n thus_o be_v we_o requite_v evil_a for_o good_a for_o testify_v against_o the_o world_n that_o their_o deed_n be_v evil_a and_o therefore_o do_v they_o hate_v we_o as_o they_o do_v christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n and_o call_v we_o deceiver_n fool_n and_o heretic_n jesuit_n and_o the_o like_a because_o we_o speak_v the_o truth_n to_o they_o and_o can_v join_v with_o they_o in_o their_o abomination_n but_o stand_v as_o witness_n for_o the_o lord_n god_n against_o they_o therefore_o do_v the_o priest_n and_o ruler_n join_v hand_n in_o hand_n together_o against_o we_o as_o they_o do_v against_o the_o true_a prophet_n christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n as_o you_o may_v read_v in_o the_o scripture_n of_o truth_n which_o bear_v testimony_n to_o these_o thing_n so_o dear_a

you_o and_o also_o the_o deceit_n of_o the_o priest_n in_o this_o generation_n that_o seek_v their_o gain_n from_o their_o quarter_n and_o keep_v you_o captive_a in_o babylon_n and_o egypt_n where_o our_o lord_n be_v crucify_v as_o they_o do_v many_o of_o we_o in_o time_n past_a where_o we_o be_v bewitch_v by_o their_o sorcery_n and_o their_o smooth_a word_n in_o speak_v peace_n to_o we_o w●en_v our_o soul_n lay_v in_o death_n unconvert_v in_o our_o fall_a estate_n as_o they_o be_v at_o this_o day_n so_o they_o can_v not_o help_v we_o out_o of_o it_o be_v in_o it_o themselves_o thus_o be_v

who_o be_v send_v to_o open_v blind_a eye_n and_o turn_v people_n from_o darkness_n to_o the_o light_n of_o christ_n in_o they_o and_o from_o the_o power_n of_o satan_n to_o god_n but_o these_o
