sister_n who_o be_v in_o some_o measure_n gather_v by_o the_o arm_n of_o god_n power_n and_o have_v know_v the_o bless_a appearance_n of_o life_n and_o salvation_n to_o you_o be_v the_o salutation_n of_o my_o unfeigned_a love_n and_o in_o the_o fellowship_n of_o god_n everlasting_a light_n do_v i_o tender_o greet_v you_o all_o and_o for_o the_o clear_n of_o my_o spirit_n of_o that_o which_o for_o some_o time_n have_v be_v upon_o i_o do_v i_o communicate_v these_o line_n in_o the_o true_a simplicity_n of_o my_o heart_n dear_o desire_v all_o that_o love_v the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n to_o keep_v low_a and_o near_o the_o lord_n and_o wait_v to_o feel_v god_n live_a power_n in_o your_o heart_n unto_o which_o we_o be_v turn_v or_o exhort_v from_o the_o beginning_n for_o in_o the_o light_n of_o the_o lord_n i_o see_v there_o be_v a_o necessity_n for_o it_o for_o unless_o the_o sense_n of_o god_n live_a power_n be_v feel_v profession_n be_v vain_a and_o meeting_n be_v not_o make_v profitable_a for_o the_o mystery_n of_o life_n and_o salvation_n and_o of_o true_a christianity_n consist_v not_o only_o in_o any_o profession_n name_n or_o notion_n of_o this_o or_o that_o principle_n article_n or_o creed_n form_v or_o receive_v in_o the_o mind_n of_o m●n_z or_o woman_n but_o in_o a_o live_a enjoyment_n and_o possession_n of_o the_o power_n and_o spirit_n of_o christ_n jesus_n the_o author_n &_o finisher_n of_o the_o live_a saying_n faith_n so_o my_o dear_a friend_n all_o wait_n to_o feel_v the_o operation_n of_o that_o power_n in_o every_o heart_n and_o soul_n to_o subdue_v all_o to_o god_n and_o to_o work_v all_o into_o submission_n and_o real_a obedience_n to_o the_o heavenly_a will_n and_o mind_n of_o christ_n jesus_n who_o be_v come_v a_o light_n into_o the_o world_n that_o all_o man_n through_o he_o may_v believe_v here_o be_v the_o unchangeable_a stand_a rule_n which_o every_o one_o be_v to_o measure_v themselves_o by_o and_o he_o or_o she_o that_o be_v measure_v or_o square_v by_o this_o be_v as_o polish_a stone_n for_o god_n spiritual_a house_n and_o he_o or_o she_o that_o be_v not_o sqaar_v by_o this_o be_v not_o fit_a to_o be_v member_n of_o god_n building_n so_o all_o have_v the_o measure_v line_n in_o your_o heart_n let_v judgement_n be_v lay_v to_o it_o and_o so_o try_v all_o thing_n word_n work_n behaviour_n and_o the_o intent_n of_o all_o and_o from_o what_o ground_n &_o soirit_n it_o do_v proceed_v and_o this_o unchangeable_a everlasting_a rule_n all_o keep_v to_o it_o and_o build_v by_o it_o so_o shall_v you_o be_v justify_v with_o it_o in_o the_o day_n of_o trial_n so_o all_o thing_n do_v by_o this_o unchangeable_a evert_v rule_n the_o law_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o life_n this_o keep_v clean_a and_o pure_a and_o set_v free_a of_o all_o mud_n and_o confusion_n sin_n and_o iniquity_n and_o thing_n that_o bring_v death_n and_o darkness_n over_o the_o soul_n and_o understanding_n and_o so_o cloud_v the_o testimony_n so_o let_v every_o man_n and_o woman_n by_o this_o stand_a rule_n examine_v themselves_o and_o so_o let_v they_o eat_v speak_v or_o act_v as_o the_o lord_n shall_v persuade_v they_o and_o wherein_o any_o one_o doubt_v and_o be_v not_o clear_a in_o what_o he_o or_o she_o undertake_v let_v such_o forbear_v and_o wait_v in_o quietness_n till_o the_o lord_n clear_v their_o way_n so_o all_o take_v

without_o guide_n the_o veil_n come_v over_o darkness_n gather_v in_o confusion_n &_o trouble_n than_o peace_n come_v to_o be_v lose_v so_o you_o that_o have_v know_v in_o any_o measure_n the_o work_n of_o regeneration_n and_o of_o the_o new_a fi●th_n through_o the_o work_n of_o god_n spirit_n &_o power_n in_o your_o heart_n by_o which_o some_o unclean_a spirit_n have_v be_v cast_v out_o keep_v

the_o world_n wisdom_n beware_v of_o that_o spirit_n i_o advise_v all_o for_o by_o that_o wisdom_n god_n be_v not_o know_v and_o if_o once_o the_o sense_n and_o enjoyment_n of_o god_n be_v lose_v than_o man_n and_o woman_n be_v in_o a_o woeful_a state_n without_o god_n in_o the_o world_n so_o keep_v out_o of_o the_o world_n spirit_n i_o entreat_v you_o all_o and_o live_v as_o fool_n to_o it_o and_o all_o its_o way_n fashion_n &_o custom_n for_o in_o the_o lord_n i_o see_v a_o great_a snare_n at_o this_o day_n and_o too_o many_o that_o make_v profession_n of_o truth_n be_v like_a to_o be_v split_v upon_o that_o rock_n so_o dear_a friend_n live_v loose_a to_o the_o world_n and_o all_o the_o glory_n of_o it_o and_o seek_v to_o be_v wise_a in_o that_o which_o be_v not_o of_o this_o world_n that_o you_o may_v be_v love_v of_o god_n and_o so_o dwell_v in_o that_o which_o can_v bear_v the_o revile_n and_o reproach_n of_o this_o world_n and_o the_o contradiction_n of_o sinner_n as_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n have_v jest_v we_o a_o example_n so_o beware_v of_o look_v back_o to_o egypt_n glory_n again_o to_o see_v any_o beauty_n or_o comeliness_n in_o that_o dark_a land_n for_o from_o the_o lord_n i_o see_v a_o temptation_n attend_v god_n spiritual_a israel_n in_o this_o day_n as_o sure_o as_o ever_o it_o attend_v israel_n after_o the_o flesh_n and_o many_o be_v too_o prone_a to_o desire_v the_o pleasure_n of_o egypt_n again_o though_o the_o best_a of_o they_o be_v bondage_n as_o many_o to_o their_o sorrow_n have_v find_v yea_o too_o many_o there_o be_v that_o can_v bear_v trial_n and_o reproach_n and_o the_o way_n of_o the_o cross_n and_o self-denial_n but_o think_v it_o long_o and_o wearisome_a and_o hard_a as_o they_o do_v in_o the_o day_n of_o old_a and_o so_o be_v too_o ready_a to_o murmur_v and_o repine_v and_o lust_n in_o their_o heart_n after_o this_o world_n glory_n again_o and_o join_v to_o its_o fashion_n &_o custom_n again_o and_o so_o set_v up_o idol_n again_o as_o they_o do_v who_o carcase_n fall_v in_o the_o wilderness_n with_o who_o the_o lord_n be_v displease_v so_o beware_v of_o let_v in_o that_o spirit_n of_o distrust_n unbelief_n and_o rebellion_n against_o god_n and_o his_o pure_a witness_n in_o your_o conscience_n and_o beware_v of_o building_n that_o which_o be_v once_o destroy_v or_o lick_v up_o that_o which_o
