encourage_v or_o strengthen_v that_o in_o any_o which_o do_v it_o oppress_v for_o i_o know_v right_a well_o the_o lord_n have_v determine_v and_o already_o begin_v to_o break_v the_o oppressor_n of_o his_o seed_n in_o piece_n in_o the_o particular_a and_o in_o the_o general_a and_o he_o that_o gather_v not_o with_o christ_n the_o seed_n and_o to_o he_o who_o be_v the_o life_n and_o the_o truth_n

all_o the_o intent_n of_o they_o nor_o in_o the_o thought_n of_o my_o heart_n as_o the_o lord_n know_v though_o i_o do_v acknowledge_v that_o about_o five_o year_n ago_o in_o the_o prison_n at_o

keep_v many_o thing_n from_o our_o knowledge_n in_o tenderness_n to_o truth_n and_o in_o hope_n to_o have_v recover_v he_o out_o of_o the_o snare_n of_o the_o enemy_n which_o word_n i_o speak_v in_o

the_o judgement_n of_o the_o lord_n in_o my_o heart_n against_o they_o and_o that_o hasty_a inconsiderate_a part_n from_o whence_o they_o do_v proceed_v though_o it_o be_v as_o in_o a_o kind_n of_o tenderness_n to_o he_o upon_o the_o account_n of_o his_o suffering_n which_o i_o and_o many_o more_o do_v judge_n have_v be_v very_o great_a but_o j._n b_n word_n be_v fulfil_v that_o he_o have_v

i_o write_v not_o in_o the_o least_o tincture_n of_o prejudice_n or_o enmity_n against_o any_o person_n whatsoever_o but_o in_o the_o true_a love_n and_o life_n of_o god_n who_o be_v bless_v for_o
