the_o world_n according_a to_o the_o scripture_n and_o thus_o have_v i_o in_o love_n unto_o the_o seed_n of_o god_n in_o all_o propound_v these_o few_o query_n to_o the_o open_n of_o the_o open_n of_o the_o understanding_n of_o all_o which_o have_v not_o full_o make_v shipwreck_n of_o faith_n and_o a_o good_a conscience_n but_o feel_v something_o yet_o leave_v which_o hunger_v and_o thirst_v after_o righteousness_n and_o unto_o it_o it_o the_o blessing_n be_v which_o will_v not_o be_v nor_o can_v be_v satisfy_v with_o the_o talk_n of_o the_o thing_n but_o must_v have_v the_o thing_n itself_o which_o be_v the_o substance_n or_o else_o it_o die_v which_o all_o which_o be_v cover_v with_o the_o shadow_n of_o be_v willing_a to_o set_v to_o their_o shoulder_n by_o word_n and_o action_n to_o persecute_v but_o if_o in_o a_o blind_a zeal_n they_o kill_v the_o body_n and_o think_v they_o do_v god_n good_a service_n in_o so_o do_v that_o will_v not_o excuse_v they_o but_o they_o fulfil_v the_o scripture_n to_o their_o own_o destruction_n for_o the_o servant_n be_v not_o great_a than_o his_o master_n and_o our_o reward_n be_v with_o he_o in_o who_o i_o rest_v in_o my_o measure_n a_o friend_n unto_o all_o and_o know_v unto_o the_o lord_n in_o it_o and_o to_o the_o son_n of_o man_n by_o my_o name_n as_o to_o man_n luke_n howard_n and_o now_o a_o few_o word_n unto_o all_o you_o which_o call_v yourselves_o church_n gather_v out_o of_o the_o world_n i_o matter_n not_o your_o name_n of_o distinction_n for_o that_o cover_n will_v not_o not_o hide_v you_o the_o nature_n and_o ground_n be_v stand_v which_o be_v all_o one_o and_o with_o the_o light_n of_o christ_n jesus_n you_o be_v see_v and_o make_v manifest_a and_o unto_o the_o measure_n of_o the_o same_o light_n in_o you_o all_o in_o who_o it_o be_v not_o yet_o put_v out_o i_o speak_v and_o write_v these_o line_n for_o you_o to_o consider_v of_o whether_o you_o be_v gather_v out_o of_o the_o world_n yea_o or_o nay_o or_o by_o what_o spirit_n or_o power_n you_o be_v gather_v together_o for_o this_o know_v that_o it_o be_v not_o sufficient_a for_o you_o to_o gather_v in_o a_o heap_n together_o and_o call_v yourselves_o by_o the_o name_n of_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n and_o yet_o the_o fruit_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n not_o to_o be_v find_v among_o you_o but_o that_o ground_n stand_v which_o bring_v forth_o brier_n and_o thorn_n both_o in_o you_o and_o your_o leader_n and_o all_o such_o fruit_n be_v but_o for_o the_o fire_n and_o the_o wrath_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o therefore_o for_o you_o to_o pretend_v to_o practice_v such_o thing_n as_o the_o saint_n in_o the_o day_n past_a do_v practice_v by_o the_o leading_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o life_n which_o dwell_v in_o they_o and_o so_o leave_v they_o on_o record_n for_o the_o learning_n of_o all_o which_o be_v lead_v by_o the_o same_o spirit_n which_o can_v read_v they_o and_o understand_v they_o according_a as_o they_o live_v in_o the_o fulfil_n of_o they_o for_o they_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n by_o faith_n in_o christ_n jesus_n and_o as_o many_o as_o be_v lead_v the_o same_o spirit_n of_o god_n they_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n now_o and_o none_o else_o and_o therefore_o consider_v whether_o the_o pure_a spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n have_v lead_v you_o to_o gather_v together_o or_o your_o own_o spirit_n the_o which_o yet_o have_v fellowship_n with_o the_o world_n and_o can_v join_v thereto_o and_o love_v the_o thing_n thereof_o and_o this_o be_v a_o true_a testimony_n that_o the_o love_n of_o the_o father_n be_v not_o in_o such_o neither_o be_v they_o call_v out_o of_o the_o world_n it_o be_v true_a there_o be_v a_o cry_n once_o in_o the_o heart_n of_o many_o of_o you_o after_o righteousness_n and_o there_o be_v in_o your_o heart_n and_o mind_n a_o incline_v to_o satisfy_v it_o and_o that_o which_o cry_v after_o righteousness_n be_v the_o righteous_a spirit_n and_o seed_n of_o god_n and_o the_o manifestation_n of_o it_o be_v give_v unto_o you_o for_o to_o profit_v withal_o which_o cry_n be_v against_o unrighteousness_n for_o to_o have_v be_v separate_v indeed_o from_o under_o the_o burden_n of_o it_o which_o do_v oppress_v it_o as_o a_o cart_n be_v oppress_v with_o sheaf_n that_o so_o it_o may_v have_v enjoy_v its_o freedom_n with_o the_o lord_n in_o righteousness_n which_o be_v its_o life_n but_o now_o consider_v whether_o you_o have_v profit_v in_o this_o which_o be_v give_v unto_o you_o to_o profit_v withal_o or_o whether_o you_o have_v not_o profit_v and_o increase_v in_o your_o own_o spirit_n and_o so_o have_v this_o murder_v and_o by_o your_o self-separation_n be_v grow_v hard_a and_o hard_a in_o sin_n and_o iniquity_n and_o so_o through_o the_o strength_n and_o subtlety_n thereof_o have_v learned_a how_o to_o live_v in_o it_o and_o to_o cover_v it_o over_o and_o to_o plead_v for_o it_o but_o woe_n be_v to_o he_o which_o cover_v his_o sin_n and_o hide_v his_o transgression_n for_o he_o shall_v not_o prosper_v for_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o lord_n will_v search_v out_o the_o hide_a thing_n of_o esau_n for_o now_o consider_v this_o in_o the_o fear_n of_o the_o lord_n that_o that_o which_o in_o the_o day_n past_a bear_v witness_v against_o sin_n and_o cry_v after_o righteousness_n have_v not_o now_o change_v its_o nature_n to_o become_v willing_a to_o live_v in_o sin_n although_o its_o voice_n may_v not_o be_v so_o much_o hear_v as_o in_o the_o day_n past_a because_o the_o earth_n be_v grow_v thick_a over_o it_o then_o it_o be_v yet_o that_o which_o be_v humble_a in_o you_o and_o then_o call_v for_o humility_n and_o wrought_v some_o tenderness_n in_o you_o be_v the_o same_o still_o as_o it_o be_v hearken_v unto_o and_o be_v not_o now_o become_v proud_a but_o bear_v witness_n against_o it_o still_o as_o it_o be_v suffer_v to_o speak_v in_o you_o and_o that_o which_o be_v righteous_a and_o wrought_v in_o you_o some_o tenderness_n in_o the_o day_n past_a and_o cry_v after_o righteousness_n that_o it_o may_v have_v have_v a_o free_a life_n from_o under_o the_o bond_n of_o iniquity_n have_v not_o now_o change_v his_o nature_n to_o become_v unrighteous_a to_o live_v in_o covetousness_n and_o pride_n and_o according_a to_o the_o course_n of_o this_o world_n to_o serve_v the_o time_n as_o oft_o as_o they_o do_v change_v and_o to_o seek_v the_o honour_n and_o glory_n and_o profit_n of_o this_o world_n and_o to_o join_v thereto_o but_o that_o spirit_n which_o can_v do_v these_o thing_n be_v that_o which_o have_v murder_v this_o just_a one_o and_o slay_v the_o lamb_n of_o god_n now_o as_o ever_o it_o have_v do_v from_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o world_n and_o here_o read_v yourselves_o all_o you_o time-serving_a professor_n and_o therefore_o as_o you_o prize_v your_o eternal_a peace_n consider_v of_o your_o latter_a end_n before_o it_o be_v too_o late_o when_o time_n shall_v be_v no_o more_o for_o then_o such_o fruit_n will_v be_v bitter_a unto_o you_o therefore_o whilst_o you_o have_v time_n prize_v it_o and_o answer_v the_o requiring_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n by_o obey_v of_o it_o and_o rebel_v not_o against_o it_o when_o these_o thing_n be_v make_v manifest_a by_o it_o and_o sell_v not_o your_o birthright_n therein_o for_o vain_a and_o unprofitable_a thing_n which_o in_o the_o day_n of_o the_o lord_n you_o will_v be_v ashamed_a of_o for_o this_o honest_o consider_v of_o whether_o a_o foolish_a custom_n of_o word_n or_o practice_n in_o action_n or_o fashion_n of_o apparel_n which_o rise_v out_o of_o the_o carnal_a heart_n be_v not_o vain_a and_o unprofitable_a although_o the_o heart_n may_v be_v so_o much_o draw_v into_o the_o thing_n that_o the_o eye_n can_v scarce_o see_v or_o look_v or_o the_o ear_n hear_v but_o the_o spirit_n lu_v after_o all_o it_o see_v or_o hear_v and_o whether_o the_o live_n therein_o be_v not_o rebel_a against_o the_o light_n which_o sometime_o check_v in_o secret_a for_o they_o and_o whether_o rebellion_n against_o that_o that_o check_v be_v not_o as_o the_o sin_n of_o witchcraft_n which_o make_v the_o heart_n hard_o and_o hard_o and_o so_o much_o the_o hard_a because_o you_o be_v cover_v with_o a_o profession_n of_o the_o saint_n life_n which_o you_o be_v out_o of_o and_o so_o be_v in_o the_o liberty_n of_o the_o flesh_n but_o woe_n be_v to_o he_o that_o cover_v his_o sin_n for_o he_o shall_v not_o prosper_v therefore_o to_o the_o light_n which_o make_v all_o thing_n in_o the_o
