i_o far_o testify_v in_o the_o lord_n presence_n who_o know_v that_o i_o lie_v not_o that_o i_o never_o dispose_v of_o or_o secure_v any_o part_n of_o my_o estate_n to_o avoid_v the_o loss_n thereof_o for_o truth_n testimony_n but_o have_v manage_v the_o same_o according_a to_o the_o understanding_n the_o lord_n have_v give_v i_o for_o its_o service_n for_o when_o i_o be_v first_o convince_v of_o truth_n i_o soon_o receive_v it_o in_o the_o love_n thereof_o and_o give_v up_o myself_o and_o all_o i_o have_v to_o be_v serviceable_a therein_o and_o be_v call_v by_o the_o lord_n to_o spend_v near_o my_o whole_a time_n in_o its_o service_n the_o lord_n in_o time_n so_o dispose_v of_o my_o condition_n that_o i_o be_v necessitate_v either_o to_o put_v off_o the_o management_n of_o the_o estate_n which_o the_o lord_n have_v give_v i_o or_o give_v up_o my_o testimony_n as_o then_o require_v of_o i_o that_o part_n of_o my_o family_n be_v remove_v that_o be_v any_o way_n capable_a to_o manage_v the_o same_o in_o my_o absence_n and_o intent_o wait_v on_o the_o lord_n for_o his_o council_n and_o advise_v with_o faithful_a friend_n i_o be_v full_o satisfy_v and_o so_o be_o to_o this_o day_n that_o my_o place_n be_v to_o keep_v my_o public_a testimony_n and_o let_v my_o estate_n which_o i_o do_v according_o dispose_v of_o part_n thereof_o to_o my_o child_n as_o become_v a_o father_n to_o provide_v for_o his_o family_n and_o this_o be_v do_v the_o lord_n know_v that_o i_o may_v be_v the_o more_o at_o liberty_n in_o the_o lord_n service_n and_o as_o paul_n advise_v timothy_n 2_o tim_n 2.4_o he_o that_o go_v a_o warfare_n entangle_v not_o himself_o with_o the_o thing_n of_o this_o life_n that_o he_o may_v please_v he_o who_o have_v choose_v he_o to_o be_v his_o soldier_n and_o far_o that_o this_o order_n of_o my_o affair_n be_v not_o to_o avoid_v suffering_n on_o the_o act_n against_o conventicle_n be_v the_o more_o evident_a because_o it_o be_v do_v a_o considerable_a time_n before_o that_o act_n be_v make_v and_o this_o also_o i_o far_o testify_v that_o it_o have_v be_v my_o care_n and_o diligence_n since_o the_o lord_n call_v i_o into_o his_o service_n as_o on_o the_o one_o hand_n not_o to_o run_v when_o he_o send_v i_o not_o so_o also_o not_o to_o neglect_v the_o duty_n he_o require_v of_o i_o and_o this_o be_v my_o great_a comfort_n to_o this_o day_n whatever_o this_o adversary_n or_o any_o other_o judge_n of_o i_o i_o have_v walk_v in_o the_o simplicity_n of_o my_o heart_n before_o the_o lord_n and_o have_v and_o do_v enjoy_v the_o testimony_n of_o his_o love_n and_o assistance_n of_o his_o presence_n which_o be_v a_o large_a reward_n unto_o i_o glory_n to_o his_o name_n for_o ever_o and_o so_o this_o his_o insinuation_n be_v very_o false_a

herein_o therefore_o no_o condemnation_n belong_v to_o i_o for_o that_o or_o will_v he_o have_v i_o condemn_v my_o appearance_n public_o with_o a_o testimony_n for_o god_n when_o the_o lord_n
