true_o many_o of_o you_o have_v mighty_o provoke_v the_o lord_n unto_o anger_n and_o grieve_v his_o spirit_n in_o this_o particular_a mark_v in_o your_o apply_v promise_n as_o you_o have_v term_v it_o for_o many_o of_o you_o have_v steal_v the_o word_n which_o declare_v of_o the_o promise_n which_o be_v to_o the_o seed_n of_o life_n and_o you_o have_v apply_v they_o unto_o the_o wrong_a seed_n or_o birth_n yea_o you_o have_v gather_v the_o good_a word_n out_o of_o the_o scripture_n that_o be_v write_v unto_o they_o who_o be_v bear_v again_o of_o the_o incorruptible_a seed_n and_o you_o have_v apply_v they_o unto_o yourselves_o in_o the_o corruptible_a unregenerate_a state_n and_o when_o you_o have_v do_v thus_o the_o witness_n of_o god_n in_o your_o own_o conscience_n have_v oft_o arise_v and_o condemn_v you_o and_o break_v the_o false_a peace_n &_o joy_n which_o you_o have_v create_v to_o yourselves_o by_o steal_v the_o saint_n condition_n and_o experience_n and_o apply_v they_o to_o yourselves_o call_v they_o you_o and_o say_v it_o be_v so_o with_o you_o when_o it_o be_v not_o yea_o many_o of_o you_o have_v say_v your_o sin_n be_v wash_v away_o in_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n and_o that_o you_o be_v free_o justify_v in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n by_o his_o grace_n and_o your_o teacher_n also_o have_v tell_v you_o it_o be_v so_o yea_o they_o have_v preach_v peace_n unto_o you_o because_o you_o put_v into_o their_o mouth_n even_o while_o you_o live_v in_o your_o sin_n but_o the_o pure_a grace_n of_o god_n have_v appear_v in_o your_o heart_n and_o condemn_v you_o and_o when_o you_o have_v be_v thus_o judge_v by_o the_o witness_n of_o god_n your_o false_a peace_n have_v be_v break_v and_o then_o some_o of_o you_o have_v run_v to_o your_o teacher_n who_o have_v cry_v peace_n unto_o you_o and_o daub_v you_o up_o with_o untempered_a mortar_n and_o tell_v they_o your_o condition_n how_o you_o be_v condemn_v in_o yourselves_o and_o how_o you_o have_v lose_v the_o peace_n and_o joy_n that_o you_o former_o have_v and_o how_o judgement_n be_v feel_v in_o the_o room_n of_o it_o then_o some_o of_o your_o blind_a guide_n have_v tell_v you_o that_o that_o be_v the_o devil_n that_o condemn_v you_o and_o break_v your_o peace_n and_o thus_o they_o have_v bring_v themselves_o under_o the_o woe_n put_v darkness_n for_o light_n and_o light_n for_o darkness_n and_o then_o they_o have_v tell_v you_o you_o must_v apply_v the_o promise_n and_o act_v faith_n as_o they_o call_v it_o upon_o the_o promise_v in_o the_o scripture_n and_o keep_v unto_o they_o and_o thus_o they_o have_v seek_v to_o daub_v you_o up_o again_o and_o to_o draw_v you_o from_o the_o pure_a spirit_n of_o judgement_n and_o some_o of_o you_o who_o have_v receive_v their_o word_n have_v then_o strive_v against_o the_o pure_a witness_n which_o condemn_v you_o and_o count_v it_o the_o tempter_n and_o have_v labour_v in_o your_o will_n to_o get_v from_o under_o its_o pure_a judgement_n and_o to_o force_v yourselves_o into_o a_o belief_n and_o persuasion_n again_o that_o those_o thing_n to_o wit_n the_o promise_v belong_v unto_o you_o and_o thus_o have_v you_o fight_v against_o the_o witness_n of_o god_n and_o deny_v its_o testimony_n and_o strangle_v it_o and_o so_o get_v into_o a_o false_a peace_n again_o but_o other_o of_o you_o have_v be_v keep_v more_o sensible_a of_o its_o judgement_n and_o have_v not_o dare_v to_o deny_v it_o because_o you_o have_v see_v that_o you_o be_v not_o fit_a for_o the_o promise_n for_o you_o have_v see_v with_o the_o light_n that_o you_o be_v out_o of_o the_o condition_n which_o be_v require_v of_o such_o as_o come_v to_o be_v partaker_n of_o the_o promise_n now_o it_o have_v be_v a_o great_a say_n among_o many_o of_o you_o that_o you_o must_v act_v faith_n upon_o a_o bare_a promise_n in_o the_o scripture_n as_o your_o teacher_n have_v teach_v you_o and_o they_o have_v tell_v you_o that_o abraham_n believe_v god_n upon_o a_o bare_a promise_n and_o so_o must_v you_o oh_o consider_v this_o well_o the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n come_v unto_o abraham_n say_v unto_o he_o fear_v not_o abraham_n i_o be_o thy_o shield_n and_o thy_o exceed_a great_a reward_n and_o again_o the_o lord_n speak_v unto_o he_o say_v i_o will_v bless_v thou_o and_o make_v thy_o name_n great_a and_o thou_o shall_v be_v a_o blessing_n and_o abraham_n believe_v god_n in_o these_o promise_n and_o other_o and_o he_o obey_v he_o so_o abraham_n faith_n be_v reckon_v unto_o he_o for_o righteousness_n and_o he_o be_v call_v the_o friend_n of_o god_n because_o he_o believe_v and_o obey_v he_o now_o if_o you_o be_v come_v to_o hear_v the_o lord_n speak_v unto_o you_o as_o abraham_n do_v than_o you_o ought_v to_o believe_v whatever_o the_o lord_n promise_v unto_o you_o that_o he_o will_v perform_v the_o same_o but_o if_o you_o only_o get_v these_o promise_n or_o other_o out_o of_o the_o scripture_n and_o then_o apply_v they_o unto_o yourselves_o and_o say_v you_o believe_v it_o be_v or_o shall_v be_v so_o with_o you_o as_o it_o be_v express_v in_o those_o promise_n and_o yet_o you_o never_o hear_v the_o lord_n say_v any_o such_o thing_n unto_o you_o mark_v you_o do_v but_o deceive_v yourselves_o for_o such_o a_o belief_n or_o act_v of_o faith_n upon_o the_o promise_v as_o you_o call_v it_o will_v never_o be_v account_v unto_o you_o for_o righteousness_n neither_o will_v you_o come_v to_o find_v such_o promise_n so_o get_v fulfil_v unto_o you_o by_o the_o lord_n and_o you_o be_v also_o to_o consider_v this_o that_o many_o of_o the_o promise_n in_o the_o scripture_n be_v give_v forth_o upon_o condition_n and_o except_o you_o come_v to_o witness_v the_o condition_n fulfil_v in_o you_o by_o the_o power_n you_o be_v not_o like_a to_o witness_v such_o promise_n make_v good_a unto_o you_o and_o also_o there_o be_v some_o promise_v speak_v of_o in_o the_o scripture_n which_o natural_o belong_v to_o the_o immortal_a seed_n that_o be_v by_o the_o lord_n give_v forth_o unto_o it_o without_o express_v any_o condition_n because_o the_o seed_n be_v free_a and_o do_v the_o will_n of_o god_n natural_o now_o all_o that_o come_v to_o have_v right_a to_o such_o promise_n and_o to_o witness_v they_o fulfil_v unto_o they_o by_o the_o lord_n they_o first_o must_v be_v convert_v into_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o seed_n by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o immortal_a word_n in_o they_o therefore_o you_o that_o have_v true_a desire_n after_o the_o lord_n wait_v to_o feel_v the_o work_n of_o the_o word_n of_o life_n in_o your_o own_o heart_n that_o so_o by_o it_o you_o may_v be_v make_v meet_v as_o i_o say_v before_o to_o be_v partaker_n of_o the_o promise_n very_o friend_n many_o of_o you_o have_v much_o to_o pass_v through_o before_o you_o can_v come_v to_o feel_v and_o witness_v the_o lord_n minister_a his_o precious_a promise_n of_o life_n and_o peace_n free_o unto_o you_o oh_o he_o wait_v to_o be_v gracious_a unto_o you_o yea_o he_o have_v long_o wait_v oh_o that_o you_o will_v now_o turn_v unto_o he_o in_o the_o drawing_n of_o his_o power_n and_o life_n and_o cease_v willing_a and_o run_v and_o strive_v in_o your_o own_o will_n and_o way_n and_o wait_v to_o be_v guide_v and_o lead_v by_o his_o spirit_n into_o those_o thing_n which_o he_o require_v at_o your_o hand_n oh_o friend_n it_o be_v the_o inside_n it_o be_v the_o inside_n that_o must_v be_v cleanse_v for_o whilst_o that_o be_v pollute_v and_o unclean_a the_o lord_n regard_v not_o the_o worship_n it_o be_v he_o that_o search_v the_o heart_n and_o try_v the_o inward_a part_n you_o can_v hide_v any_o thing_n from_o he_o for_o he_o behold_v all_o your_o go_n and_o act_n and_o thought_n now_o i_o know_v many_o of_o you_o will_v oft_o make_v large_a confession_n of_o your_o sin_n but_o friend_n there_o be_v a_o further_a thing_n to_o be_v mind_v mark_v you_o must_v also_o come_v to_o forsake_v they_o or_o else_o you_o can_v find_v the_o mercy_n therefore_o harken_v diligent_o unto_o the_o call_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o believe_v and_o wait_v in_o that_o which_o make_v manifest_a sin_n and_o call_v you_o out_o of_o the_o same_o for_o this_o be_v holy_a and_o consent_v not_o unto_o sin_n it_o have_v no_o fellowship_n with_o darkness_n nor_o concord_n with_o the_o devil_n now_o this_o be_v the_o live_a truth_n by_o this_o you_o may_v know_v it_o mark_n it_o be_v contrary_a to_o whatsoever_o be_v not_o of_o the_o truth_n and_o it_o oppose_v evil_a in_o the_o very_a appearance_n thereof_o oh_o that_o you_o will_v hearken_v unto_o this_o and_o receive_v this_o in_o the_o love_n of_o it_o when_o it_o appear_v in_o you_o that_o so_o by_o the_o
emptiness_n of_o the_o water_n outward_a and_o let_v they_o see_v that_o it_o be_v the_o baptism_n inward_a with_o the_o holy_a spirit_n and_o with_o fire_n which_o save_v and_o bring_v to_o the_o

all_o you_o who_o be_v bring_v to_o see_v your_o backslide_n and_o be_v now_o bring_v to_o feel_v any_o true_a desire_n and_o thirst_v after_o god_n renew_v in_o you_o my_o tender_a love_n reach_v
