the_o tree_n that_o be_v plant_v by_o the_o river_n side_n bring_v forth_o fruit_n of_o righteousness_n the_o plant_n of_o the_o lord_n bring_v forth_o fruit_n in_o due_a season_n wherein_o you_o will_v be_v lovely_a to_o the_o father_n and_o one_o unto_o another_o and_o so_o in_o the_o love_n and_o life_n abide_v and_o keep_v in_o the_o unity_n you_o will_v be_v know_v to_o be_v the_o plant_n of_o the_o lord_n to_o the_o glory_n of_o his_o most_o holy_a name_n and_o tender_a friend_n and_o little_a one_o i_o exhort_v you_o in_o the_o name_n and_o fear_n of_o the_o lord_n to_o watch_v against_o and_o to_o be_v aware_a of_o suffer_v any_o root_n of_o bitterness_n to_o spring_v up_o among_o you_o or_o of_o harbour_v any_o prejudice_n one_o against_o another_o but_o in_o that_o spirit_n of_o love_n dwell_v which_o think_v no_o evil_a nor_o be_v not_o easy_o provoke_v for_o that_o which_o give_v offence_n and_o that_o which_o take_v the_o offence_n be_v one_o and_o come_v from_o the_o same_o old_a root_n of_o bitterness_n and_o proceed_v from_o he_o that_o watch_v to_o divide_v and_o devour_v and_o to_o break_v the_o unity_n among_o the_o lamb_n and_o to_o make_v a_o prey_n a_o rent_n a_o division_n and_o a_o spoil_n and_o if_o any_o be_v overtake_v in_o these_o thing_n for_o want_n of_o a_o diligent_a watch_n to_o their_o thought_n word_n and_o action_n in_o it_o the_o enemy_n will_v have_v a_o great_a advantage_n to_o hurt_v your_o peace_n and_o to_o weaken_v you_o and_o therefore_o dear_a friend_n be_v tender_a one_o to_o another_o let_v the_o strong_a bear_n with_o the_o weak_a and_o be_v you_o pitiful_a and_o tender-heatted_n towards_o the_o bruise_a reed_n that_o have_v be_v hurt_v by_o the_o subtlety_n of_o the_o enemy_n and_o let_v your_o bowel_n earn_v over_o any_o in_o who_o there_o be_v yet_o remain_v a_o little_a love_n or_o zeal_n though_o it_o be_v but_o as_o a_o smoke_a flax_n or_o of_o any_o that_o be_v wound_v by_o reason_n of_o their_o fall_n which_o they_o have_v take_v in_o the_o evening-tide_n i_o say_v again_o in_o god_n fear_n be_v very_o tender_a to_o any_o such_o that_o in_o the_o spirit_n of_o love_n and_o meekness_n such_o may_v be_v restore_v if_o so_o it_o may_v be_v for_o friend_n you_o yourselves_o may_v be_v tempt_v snare_v and_o overtake_v by_o the_o subtle_a enemy_n bait_n and_o therefore_o let_v all_o that_o think_v they_o stand_v fear_v continual_o and_o take_v heed_n lest_o they_o also_o fall_v and_o friend_n beware_v of_o watch_v over_o one_o another_o with_o a_o evil_a eye_n for_o that_o watch_v for_o the_o evil_a and_o do_v not_o see_v the_o good_a and_o by_o that_o the_o good_a manner_n be_v and_o have_v be_v corrupt_v and_o they_o that_o watch_v with_o that_o eye_n they_o provoke_v to_o evil_a and_o not_o to_o good_a and_o friend_n it_o lie_v upon_o i_o to_o warn_v you_o to_o take_v heed_n of_o look_v back_o to_o egypt_n or_o to_o any_o thing_n that_o you_o have_v leave_v behind_o but_o pass_v on_o and_o let_v your_o eye_n be_v to_o that_o which_o be_v before_o and_o abide_v in_o the_o way_n in_o which_o you_o have_v begin_v to_o walk_v and_o in_o the_o patience_n dwell_v and_o keep_v to_o the_o good_a word_n thereof_o that_o in_o the_o faith_n you_o may_v be_v find_v that_o so_o the_o old_a enemy_n may_v not_o beguile_v you_o and_o so_o you_o come_v to_o be_v dispossess_v of_o the_o blessing_n through_o disobedience_n therefore_o to_o your_o guide_n keep_v and_o faithful_o follow_v he_o and_o take_v heed_n of_o stay_v behind_o and_o beware_v of_o be_v too_o forward_o in_o go_v before_o for_o there_o be_v danger_n in_o both_o of_o be_v overcome_v with_o the_o enemy_n in_o stay_v behind_o you_o will_v be_v guilty_a of_o disobedience_n and_o so_o not_o only_o lose_v your_o reward_n and_o the_o blessing_n of_o rest_n and_o peace_n but_o you_o will_v have_v that_o talon_n take_v away_o which_o you_o do_v possess_v and_o you_o will_v have_v your_o portion_n where_o will_v be_v weep_v and_o gnash_n of_o tooth_n and_o he_o that_o go_v before_o will_v be_v puff_v up_o above_o his_o measure_n and_o so_o forget_v the_o lord_n and_o he_o will_v have_v his_o portion_n also_o with_o the_o wicked_a therefore_o i_o do_v exhort_v and_o warn_v you_o all_o to_o take_v heed_n of_o a_o evil_a heart_n of_o unbelief_n and_o of_o depart_v from_o the_o live_a god_n be_v you_o all_o therefore_o steadfast_o ground_v settle_a and_o stay_v in_o your_o mind_n unmoveable_a upon_o the_o everlasting_a foundation_n of_o god_n that_o stand_v sure_a that_o so_o you_o may_v not_o be_v toss_v turn_v aside_o nor_o easy_o shake_v in_o your_o mind_n from_o that_o which_o you_o have_v believe_v nor_o weaken_v in_o your_o confidence_n but_o that_o you_o may_v hold_v out_o unto_o the_o end_n and_o then_o you_o will_v assure_o receive_v your_o reward_n if_o you_o faint_v not_o so_o you_o that_o have_v believe_v in_o the_o truth_n take_v heed_n of_o faint_a and_o beware_v of_o hunt_v abroad_o for_o my_o friend_n there_o may_v be_v err_v on_o the_o right_a hand_n as_o well_o as_o on_o the_o left_a therefore_o to_o your_o leader_n keep_v and_o dwell_v low_a in_o the_o pure_a fear_n and_o so_o the_o cross_n you_o will_v be_v lead_v into_o and_o then_o you_o will_v feel_v that_o which_o will_v slay_v your_o enemy_n on_o every_o hand_n for_o of_o a_o truth_n friend_n there_o be_v no_o safety_n out_o of_o the_o fear_n nor_o prosperity_n out_o of_o the_o cross_n therefore_o let_v your_o resolution_n be_v for_o ever_o therein_o to_o dwell_v and_o then_o you_o will_v obtain_v the_o crown_n and_o reap_v the_o blessing_n that_o be_v everlasting_a so_o remember_v it_o be_v he_o that_o hunt_v abroad_o that_o faint_v and_o sell_v his_o birthright_n for_o a_o little_a of_o the_o earthly_a enjoyment_n to_o satisfy_v his_o earthly_a desire_n and_o so_o he_o lose_v the_o blessing_n therefore_o all_o dear_a lamb_n and_o little_a one_o keep_v at_o home_n and_o dwell_v in_o your_o own_o habitation_n in_o the_o light_n the_o house_n of_o the_o live_a god_n and_o be_v you_o faithful_a unto_o he_o in_o all_o thing_n that_o he_o do_v require_v that_o so_o none_o may_v deprive_v you_o of_o your_o bless_a inheritance_n nor_o take_v away_o your_o crown_n of_o glory_n joy_n rest_n and_o peace_n and_o friend_n brethren_n and_o sister_n child_n of_o god_n think_v it_o not_o strange_a that_o we_o have_v trial_n upon_o trial_n and_o if_o the_o furnace_n of_o affliction_n come_v to_o be_v heat_n more_o hot_a yet_o look_v not_o out_o thereat_o be_v valiant_a for_o the_o lord_n and_o for_o his_o truth_n upon_o the_o earth_n and_o in_o that_o stand_n which_o be_v immovable_a for_o this_o i_o have_v see_v in_o the_o eternal_a light_n that_o there_o will_v be_v a_o day_n of_o divide_v and_o separate_n between_o the_o precious_a and_o the_o vile_a the_o good_a metal_n and_o the_o dross_n between_o the_o weighty_a wheat_n and_o the_o light_a airy_a chaff_n between_o the_o meek_a gentle_a patient_a sheep_n and_o the_o rough_a rugged_a goat_n the_o vile_a in_o nature_n shall_v no_o long_o be_v hide_v under_o a_o false_a outside_n form_n of_o likeness_n without_o the_o power_n and_o life_n that_o dross_n shall_v no_o long_o abide_v among_o the_o good_a metal_n to_o darken_v the_o brightness_n thereof_o for_o the_o day_n be_v come_v that_o burn_v as_o a_o oven_n the_o furnace_n be_v already_o kindle_v and_o the_o refiner_n fire_n be_v light_v which_o will_v try_v each_o matter_n metal_n and_o work_n of_o what_o sort_n it_o be_v neither_o shall_v the_o chaff_n any_o long_o cover_v the_o good_a wheat_n but_o by_o the_o arm_n of_o god_n eternal_a power_n will_v be_v thresh_v off_o and_o blow_v away_o with_o the_o wind_n of_o his_o wrath_n for_o he_o be_v come_v who_o fan_n be_v in_o his_o hand_n by_o which_o he_o will_v scatter_v the_o chaff_n and_o the_o wheat_n he_o will_v gather_v into_o his_o garner_n therein_o to_o be_v preserve_v and_o he_o will_v also_o purge_v his_o floor_n in_o this_o his_o notable_a day_n and_o all_o the_o gentle_a meek_a and_o patient_a sheep_n on_o his_o right_a hand_n he_o will_v set_v where_o the_o fullness_n of_o joy_n mercy_n peace_n and_o pleasure_n be_v for_o ever_o and_o for_o evermore_o when_o as_o the_o rough_a and_o brutish_a goat●_n shall_v be_v separate_v on_o the_o
