conscience_n i_o can_v possible_o cover_v it_o but_o rather_o if_o i_o may_v so_o speak_v have_v be_v too_o favourable_a in_o that_o respect_n but_o the_o lord_n know_v my_o end_n and_o aim_v in_o all_o thing_n to_o who_o i_o do_v appeal_n and_o as_o for_o that_o which_o be_v dead_a i_o have_v little_a to_o say_v one_o way_n or_o other_o i_o look_v not_o at_o the_o person_n of_o any_o either_o

to_o the_o divert_n of_o the_o mind_n of_o many_o from_o the_o truth_n and_o lay_v stumbling-block_n in_o the_o way_n of_o other_o which_o will_v have_v be_v easy_o gather_v into_o the_o love_n of_o

of_o christ_n and_o yet_o he_o lift_v up_o his_o heel_n against_o they_o as_o he_o have_v do_v in_o a_o great_a measure_n and_o as_o for_o his_o suffering_n i_o leave_v it_o as_o not_o worth_a mention_v in_o comparison_n of_o the_o unrighteousness_n which_o have_v proceed_v from_o he_o and_o the_o wickedness_n which_o be_v in_o his_o heart_n for_o i_o can_v produce_v a_o letter_n of_o he_o which_o i_o late_o find_v by_o accident_n which_o i_o never_o see_v before_o which_o i_o do_v believe_v that_o judas_n nor_o his_o brethren_n before_o mention_v do_v ever_o write_v the_o like_a which_o be_v abominable_a and_o a_o shame_n to_o mention_v yea_o the_o very_a heathen_a that_o know_v not_o god_n will_v blush_v to_o hear_v it_o against_o which_o at_o the_o read_n and_o consideration_n of_o the_o ground_n and_o effect_n it_o will_v produce_v if_o such_o a_o thing_n shall_v be_v receive_v as_o a_o principle_n among_o people_n the_o dreadful_a power_n and_o holy_a zeal_n of_o the_o lord_n do_v arise_v in_o my_o heart_n beyond_o expression_n even_o against_o the_o root_n that_o bear_v it_o as_o a_o unclean_a depth_n of_o atheism_n and_o ranterism_n as_o ever_o i_o hear_v of_o in_o all_o my_o day_n the_o which_o have_v i_o former_o know_v that_o such_o a_o thing_n will_v have_v proceed_v from_o he_o i_o can_v have_v do_v no_o less_o than_o have_v bo●n_v a_o public_a testimony_n against_o he_o long_o ago_o but_o however_o it_o be_v not_o to_o late_a to_o obey_v the_o motion_n of_o the_o pure_a god_n when_o he_o do_v require_v it_o for_o the_o truth_n sake_n and_o the_o sake_n of_o some_o who_o have_v ignorant_o follow_v he_o in_o that_o character_n of_o division_n before_o mention_v who_o may_v happy_o loath_a and_o detest_v it_o and_o testify_v against_o he_o and_o it_o in_o their_o heart_n and_o practice_n when_o they_o shall_v hear_v consider_v and_o believe_v these_o thing_n concern_v the_o author_n of_o it_o who_o give_v it_o forth_o as_o a_o law_n under_o the_o penalty_n of_o a_o curse_n though_o some_o there_o be_v so_o far_o give_v up_o to_o the_o spirit_n of_o enmity_n that_o it_o will_v be_v very_o hard_o if_o ever_o for_o they_o to_o come_v into_o the_o one_o holy_a peaceable_a spirit_n of_o truth_n and_o love_v unfeigned_a in_o which_o the_o saint_n fellowship_n be_v and_o ever_o be_v which_o if_o they_o repent_v not_o in_o time_n will_v perish_v for_o ever_o in_o their_o gainsay_n and_o therefore_o i_o exhort_v all_o who_o have_v any_o tenderness_n in_o they_o towards_o god_n and_o his_o truth_n to_o beware_v of_o let_v in_o prejudice_n or_o enmity_n against_o any_o or_o to_o slight_v such_o as_o god_n have_v bless_v with_o his_o everlasting_a spiritual_a blessing_n but_o rather_o look_v well_o to_o their_o own_o go_n and_o keep_v clean_a hand_n and_o shut_v their_o eye_n from_o see_v of_o evil_n that_o they_o may_v dwell_v with_o the_o everlasting_a burn_n for_o there_o be_v a_o generation_n that_o will_v be_v pluck_v out_o or_o at_o least_o espy_v a_o mote_n in_o their_o brother_n eye_n even_o while_o there_o remain_v a_o beam_n in_o their_o own_o and_o such_o the_o son_n of_o god_n call_v hypocrite_n who_o heart_n assure_o fearfulness_n will_v surprise_v in_o a_o day_n of_o trial_n and_o therefore_o i_o say_v again_o in_o the_o love_n and_o fear_v of_o the_o lord_n take_v heed_n of_o entertain_v the_o least_o thought_n of_o that_o root_n of_o bitterness_n which_o will_v defile_v and_o have_v defile_v many_o but_o judge_v it_o out_o in_o its_o first_o appearance_n for_o it_o tend_v first_o to_o separate_v from_o the_o feel_n and_o enjoyment_n of_o the_o bless_a presence_n of_o the_o lord_n by_o which_o the_o soul_n be_v refresh_v and_o nourish_v and_o have_v dominion_n over_o its_o enemy_n and_o so_o from_o that_o life_n in_o which_o the_o saint_n unity_n stand_v and_o so_o from_o have_v fellowship_n with_o they_o and_o so_o profess_v the_o same_o truth_n without_o the_o enjoyment_n of_o it_o and_o acceptance_n with_o it_o make_v such_o like_o cain_n who_o envy_v his_o brother_n and_o therefore_o say_v john_n let_v we_o love_v one_o another_o not_o as_o cain_n who_o slay_v his_o brother_n here_o he_o mention_n cain_n in_o that_o day_n upon_o such_o a_o occasion_n as_o a_o example_n know_v that_o a_o little_a prejudice_n will_v eat_v like_o a_o canker_n and_o say_v james_n what_o a_o great_a matter_n a_o little_a fire_n kindle_v and_o will_v yet_o kindle_v if_o it_o be_v not_o quench_v by_o the_o water_n of_o the_o life_n of_o the_o lamb_n which_o be_v slay_v from_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o world_n that_o lie_v in_o wickedness_n in_o which_o life_n be_v our_o fellowship_n which_o give_v we_o dominion_n over_o all_o the_o beast_n of_o the_o field_n and_o rage_a wave_n of_o the_o sea_n which_o cast_v up_o mire_n and_o dirt_n and_o can_v rest_v but_o in_o christ_n the_o everlasting_a seed_n all_o the_o upright_a in_o heart_n have_v peace_n which_o god_n by_o his_o mighty_a hand_n and_o arm_n be_v exalt_v over_o all_o that_o truth_n and_o righteousness_n may_v have_v the_o dominion_n and_o kingdom_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o people_n that_o he_o may_v reign_v who_o right_a it_o be_v and_o all_o the_o contrary_n be_v subdue_v and_o tread_v under_o foot_n for_o ever_o and_o every_o imagination_n that_o will_v rise_v in_o
