for_o ever_o therefore_o let_v all_o friend_n eye_v the_o lord_n in_o this_o his_o day_n and_o keep_v faithful_a to_o the_o leading_n of_o his_o power_n lest_o the_o son_n and_o daughter_n of_o

forth_o in_o a_o hasty_a eager_a mind_n among_o yourselves_o but_o wait_v that_o you_o may_v have_v clearness_n in_o the_o counsel_n of_o the_o lord_n that_o so_o you_o may_v understand_v that_o it_o be_v of_o god_n in_o the_o beginning_n for_o if_o you_o keep_v not_o stay_v in_o the_o light_n with_o the_o light_n to_o be_v guide_v you_o may_v either_o look_v at_o the_o world_n or_o at_o the_o

may_v possess_v or_o to_o satisfy_v your_o affection_n with_o the_o outward_a beauty_n or_o comeliness_n of_o the_o person_n and_o so_o the_o drawing_n and_o leading_n of_o god_n will_v not_o be_v

it_o and_o if_o any_o come_v to_o feel_v that_o they_o have_v a_o real_a move_n in_o the_o truth_n and_o in_o simplicity_n one_o to_o another_o and_o that_o in_o the_o beginning_n they_o look_v single_o at_o the_o beget_v of_o god_n one_o in_o another_o then_o wait_v to_o be_v preserve_v and_o keep_v in_o god_n fear_n and_o counsel_n for_o here_o the_o enemy_n will_v stand_v to_o present_v some_o temptation_n to_o entice_v and_o entangle_v the_o mind_n and_o if_o ever_o you_o open_v your_o eye_n into_o the_o world_n and_o begin_v to_o look_v at_o the_o glory_n and_o honour_n of_o it_o that_o part_n will_v present_o over_o balance_n the_o real_a simplicity_n and_o then_o the_o eye_n be_v fix_v upon_o the_o world_n riches_n and_o glory_n the_o enemy_n hatch_v a_o secret_a design_n which_o way_n to_o compass_v it_o and_o attain_v it_o and_o then_o the_o temptation_n become_v a_o cloud_n and_o a_o vail_n over_o the_o excellent_a glory_n of_o the_o beautiful_a seed_n and_o if_o that_o eye_n which_o look_v into_o the_o world_n and_o lust_n to_o compass_v it_o be_v not_o answer_v in_o its_o desire_n than_o the_o love_n which_o have_v be_v profess_v will_v decay_v &_o cool_v and_o die_v but_o and_o if_o that_o end_n can_v be_v obtain_v which_o the_o eye_n look_v after_o than_o the_o love_n will_v seem_o increase_v to_o a_o join_n in_o the_o covenant_n of_o marriage_n and_o this_o be_v not_o honourable_a though_o outward_o it_o may_v be_v bring_v to_o pass_v and_o effect_v and_o whosoever_o go_v together_o in_o this_o ground_n they_o will_v suffer_v loss_n in_o the_o truth_n though_o they_o may_v gain_v the_o world_n substance_n and_o death_n will_v surprise_v they_o in_o the_o earth_n where_o they_o centre_n and_o how_o be_v many_o toss_v about_o and_o can_v find_v where_o to_o settle_v nor_o where_o to_o come_v into_o a_o like_n to_o satisfy_v their_o wander_a eye_n but_o sometime_o will_v draw_v a_o conclusion_n one_o way_n and_o instant_o turn_v from_o it_o again_o and_o present_o join_v with_o some_o new_a presentation_n which_o in_o its_o appearance_n seem_v to_o show_v fair_a unto_o their_o like_n and_o thus_o many_o stagger_v up_o and_o down_o in_o the_o multitude_n of_o their_o own_o thought_n and_o never_o wait_v to_o feel_v the_o lord_n power_n to_o order_v they_o but_o through_o the_o wile_n of_o the_o enemy_n be_v hurry_v in_o a_o restless_a state_n and_o lose_v their_o

condition_n in_o the_o truth_n and_o do_v not_o well_o perceive_v it_o for_o if_o either_o stranger_n be_v join_v unto_o or_o the_o world_n or_o beauty_n be_v first_o looke●_n at_o or_o the_o world_n catch_v the_o mind_n from_o the_o real_a move_n in_o the_o simplicity_n or_o whatsoever_o end_n any_o lay_n to_o themselves_o in_o this_o matter_n they_o through_o the_o same_o will_v come_v to_o great_a loss_n in_o the_o truth_n whether_o the_o thing_n which_o they_o aim_v at_o be_v effect_v or_o not_o effect_v for_o if_o the_o mind_n be_v draw_v into_o any_o visible_a appearance_n as_o to_o have_v a_o lust_n after_o it_o and_o to_o prescribe_v way_n and_o end_n to_o accomplish_v what_o be_v intend_v there_o can_v be_v a_o clear_a stand_n in_o the_o truth_n where_o the_o mind_n be_v

it_o therefore_o this_o be_v the_o counsel_n of_o the_o lord_n god_n unto_o all_o friend_n look_v not_o at_o the_o son_n or_o daughter_n of_o stranger_n lest_o you_o become_v one_o with_o they_o neither_o look_n at_o the_o world_n riches_n among_o yourselves_o but_o wait_v low_o in_o god_n fear_v to_o receive_v his_o counsel_n in_o every_o such_o motion_n &_o feel_v his_o hand_n to_o open_v the_o way_n for_o you_o &_o when_o you_o feel_v a_o clear_a way_n open_v of_o the_o lord_n &_o that_o in_o his_o eternal_a power_n &_o wisdom_n you_o can_v reach_v the_o seed_n one_o in_o another_o then_o wait_v for_o his_o time_n to_o make_v you_o up_o as_o one_o in_o the_o counsel_n of_o his_o own_o will_n &_o when_o thus_o you_o feel_v his_o hand_n at_o work_n then_o do_v not_o you_o begin_v to_o say_v we_o have_v clearness_n from_o the_o lord_n in_o this_o matter_n but_o now_o we_o will_v know_v how_o it_o must_v be_v as_o to_o a_o outward_a portion_n or_o estate_n and_o so_o begin_v to_o look_v into_o the_o earth_n and_o confer_v one_o with_o another_o about_o the_o thing_n of_o this_o life_n for_o if_o any_o do_v so_o the_o lord_n will_v draw_v back_o his_o hand_n and_o hide_v his_o counsel_n from_o you_o and_o will_v leave_v you_o in_o the_o dark_a to_o grope_v in_o your_o own_o way_n &_o though_o you_o may_v obtain_v those_o thing_n which_o your_o eye_n in_o that_o

for_o another_o by_o speak_v to_o any_o party_n except_o they_o feel_v a_o necessity_n lay_v upon_o they_o from_o the_o lord_n for_o thereby_o some_o may_v be_v wrong_v in_o their_o simplicity_n by_o give_v up_o their_o belief_n unto_o another_o but_o let_v all_o wait_v to_o feel_v their_o own_o moving_n in_o god_n counsel_n and_o leading_n and_o so_o to_o manifest_v their_o own_o mind_n in_o his_o fear_n and_o wisdom_n that_o it_o may_v be_v feel_v on_o both_o side_n to_o be_v of_o the_o lord_n &_o then_o lay_v it_o before_o some_o weighty_a friend_n that_o be_v endue_v with_o heavenly_a wisdom_n that_o the_o ground_n of_o the_o motion_n may_v be_v balance_v in_o sound_a judgement_n &_o so_o to_o wait_v for_o the_o lord_n hand_n to_o carry_v it_o on_o &_o finish_v it_o in_o his_o pleasure_n &_o where_o it_o thus_o come_v to_o pass_v in_o a_o single_a heart_n to_o god_n &_o one_o another_o there_o will_v be_v true_a contentment_n with_o what_o the_o world_n afford_v on_o either_o part_n &_o whether_o it_o be_v more_o or_o less_o it_o will_v be_v enjoy_v in_o its_o place_n with_o comfort_n &_o peace_n &_o though_o party_n may_v differ_v much_o in_o age_n or_o in_o

he_o preserve_v they_o fresh_a and_o live_a in_o his_o truth_n for_o where_o death_n run_v over_o any_o in_o that_o state_n it_o be_v because_o the_o thing_n be_v not_o bring_v to_o pass_v in_o god_n counsel_n or_o otherwise_o not_o abide_v faithful_a with_o he_o when_o it_o be_v effect_v by_o he_o &_o so_o the_o world_n become_v a_o trap_n &_o a_o snare_n to_o entangle_v &_o fond_a affection_n
