when_o that_o caution_n be_v give_v in_o the_o love_n of_o god_n it_o be_v in_o the_o same_o love_n receive_v but_o when_o under_o pretence_n of_o caution_v against_o formality_n some_o not_o

forspeak_v of_o by_o christ_n for_o they_o be_v open_a enemy_n these_o feign_a friend_n and_o false_a brethren_n now_o whereas_o they_o say_v certain_o you_o can_v not_o think_v that_o all_o be_v

they_o say_v they_o will_v persuade_v we_o better_o by_o assure_v that_o some_o be_v right_a by_o be_v sincere_a i_o reply_v if_o they_o be_v they_o must_v not_o be_v any_o of_o those_o troubler_n who_o notwithstanding_o they_o have_v separate_v meeting_n of_o their_o own_o to_o which_o they_o have_v withdraw_v and_o choose_v to_o meet_v apart_o as_o some_o of_o themselves_o have_v elsewhere_o express_v it_o do_v yet_o frequent_o thrust_v in_o at_o some_o of_o our_o meeting_n and_o impose_v themselves_o upon_o friend_n for_o preacher_n as_o if_o they_o do_v it_o on_o purpose_n to_o

the_o troubler_n therefore_o give_v over_o their_o hypocrisy_n and_o make_v it_o appear_v that_o they_o themselves_o be_v sincere_a to_o what_o they_o themselves_o have_v choose_v and_o set_v up_o before_o they_o take_v upon_o they_o to_o give_v assurance_n of_o the_o sincerity_n of_o other_o they_o bid_v we_o remember_v they_o obtrude_v nothing_o upon_o you_o rep._n that_o be_v false_a those_o troubler_n obtrude_v themselves_o their_o preach_a and_o their_o pray_v upon_o friend_n which_o they_o know_v have_v be_v often_o tell_v friend_n can_v receive_v than_o which_o what_o worse_n they_o can_v obtrude_v i_o know_v not_o and_o where_o they_o have_v have_v strength_n by_o number_n they_o have_v obtrude_v these_o upon_o friend_n under_o the_o penalty_n of_o be_v deprive_v of_o their_o meeting_n house_n if_o they_o will_v not_o conform_v to_o this_o imposition_n and_o because_o friend_n can_v not_o conform_v thereunto_o those_o troubler_n have_v actual_o shut_v friend_n out_o of_o their_o meeting-house_n and_o do_v yet_o continue_v to_o keep_v they_o out_o thereby_o deprive_v friend_n of_o their_o just_a right_n therefore_o when_o any_o of_o those_o troubler_n shall_v again_o

of_o those_o that_o be_v right_a rep._n we_o know_v he_o have_v do_v so_o and_o we_o desire_v he_o may_v do_v so_o still_o but_o we_o leave_v that_o to_o he_o who_o best_o know_v to_o who_o and_o
