reason_n of_o deadness_n and_o backwardness_n to_o such_o a_o good_a work_n as_o edify_v of_o one_o another_o in_o love_n when_o they_o be_v together_o and_o for_o want_v of_o make_v it_o as_o

they_o can_v but_o once_o get_v into_o it_o and_o especial_o if_o they_o be_v not_o only_o true_a christian_n but_o fervent_a oh_o what_o comfortable_a profitable_a communion_n will_v there_o be_v sometime_o between_o they_o that_o their_o very_a heart_n will_v be_v knit_v together_o by_o it_o as_o it_o be_v between_o jonathan_n and_o david_n when_o they_o have_v have_v communion_n together_o the_o soul_n of_o jonathan_n be_v knit_v to_o the_o soul_n of_o david_n and_o they_o love_v one_o another_o as_o their_o own_o soul_n now_o the_o have_v of_o this_o live_a communion_n together_o be_v a_o thing_n which_o the_o lord_n set_v a_o very_a high_a esteem_n upon_o i_o speak_v this_o to_o encourage_v god_n people_n to_o be_v more_o frequent_a and_o forward_a in_o it_o than_o many_o of_o
