wax_v old_a glory_n unto_o he_o in_o the_o high_a who_o have_v wrought_v all_o our_o work_n in_o we_o and_o for_o we_o amen_n so_o remember_v the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n be_v thy_o proper_a leader_n

for_o this_o i_o have_v find_v who_o be_o also_o ignorant_a of_o such_o thing_n as_o a_o babe_n that_o the_o innocent_a seed_n of_o jacob_n need_v none_o to_o plead_v its_o cause_n but_o god_n alone_o who_o give_v strength_n and_o wisdom_n in_o the_o same_o hour_n therefore_o my_o dear_a and_o tender_a friend_n look_v not_o out_o from_o your_o own_o measure_n receive_v of_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n

which_o can_v straightway_o be_v just_o reprove_v because_o there_o be_v want_v of_o the_o right_a authority_n wisdom_n and_o discretion_n in_o the_o reprover_n though_o something_o be_v reprovable_a
