within_o as_o well_o as_o without_o and_o if_o they_o have_v life_n they_o eat_v his_o flesh_n and_o drink_v his_o blood_n if_o they_o do_v live_v by_o he_o that_o be_v heavenly_a and_o spiritual_a the_o second_o adam_n the_o lord_n from_o heaven_n for_o they_o have_v drink_v long_o enough_o into_o old_a adam_n unclean_a spirit_n which_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o there_o be_v so_o many_o body_n that_o they_o do_v vex_v and_o quench_v the_o good_a spirit_n and_o resist_v the_o holy_a ghost_n which_o shall_v baptise_v they_o all_o into_o one_o body_n that_o be_v to_o plunge_v down_o all_o

church_n do_v in_o the_o primitive_a time_n and_o so_o to_o have_v the_o same_o fellowship_n and_o unity_n in_o the_o holy_a spirit_n of_o christ_n as_o they_o have_v to_o wit_n in_o christ_n jesus_n who_o be_v and_o be_v the_o holy_a head_n of_o his_o church_n his_o elect_n in_o he_o and_o jerusalem_n that_o be_v above_o be_v the_o mother_n of_o all_o such_o and_o such_o do_v worship_n god_n as_o christ_n teach_v above_o sixteen_o hundred_o year_n ago_o in_o spirit_n and_o in_o truth_n so_o all_o must_v come_v to_o the_o spirit_n and_o the_o truth_n in_o their_o heart_n and_o soul_n if_o they_o do_v know_v the_o god_n of_o truth_n who_o be_v a_o spirit_n and_o must_v worship_v he_o in_o spirit_n and_o in_o the_o truth_n into_o which_o holy_a spirit_n and_o truth_n the_o unclean_a spirit_n and_o he_o that_o be_v out_o of_o truth_n can_v come_v so_o all_o will-worshipper_n and_o the_o dragon_n and_o beast_n and_o false_a worshipper_n be_v out_o of_o this_o holy_a spirit_n and_o truth_n in_o which_o the_o pure_a and_o holy_a god_n be_v worship_v and_o as_o all_o that_o do_v eat_v of_o the_o passover_n in_o the_o old_a covenant_n be_v to_o be_v circumcise_a in_o the_o flesh_n so_o be_v all_o in_o the_o new_a covenant_n to_o be_v circumcise_a with_o the_o spirit_n by_o put_v off_o the_o body_n of_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o flesh_n that_o come_v upon_o man_n by_o

for_o the_o old_a covenant_n of_o circumcision_n be_v hold_v in_o the_o flesh_n and_o then_o they_o do_v feed_v upon_o the_o natural_a sacrifice_n but_o the_o new_a covenant_n be_v hold_v in_o the_o

blood_n of_o beast_n or_o any_o blood_n but_o in_o the_o new_a covenant_n christ_n tell_v you_o except_o you_o do_v eat_v my_o flesh_n and_o drink_v my_o blood_n you_o have_v no_o part_n in_o i_o for_o as_o by_o adam_n and_o eve_n their_o eat_v that_o which_o god_n forbid_v come_v death_n so_o if_o adam_n and_o eve_n son_n and_o daughter_n have_v life_n again_o it_o be_v by_o eat_v of_o that_o which_o christ_n command_v and_o as_o by_o eat_v come_v death_n so_o by_o eat_v gome_v life_n and_o not_o by_o talk_v no_o not_o by_o talk_v of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n for_o all_o reprobate_n may_v

the_o son_n of_o god_n have_v life_n and_o the_o saint_n do_v confess_v the_o son_n of_o god_n be_v come_v and_o have_v give_v they_o a_o understanding_n and_o they_o be_v in_o he_o and_o they_o be_v to_o walk_v as_o he_o walk_v and_o not_o only_o to_o talk_v as_o he_o talk_v for_o there_o be_v too_o many_o talker_n and_o few_o walker_n in_o christ_n my_o desire_n be_v there_o may_v be_v more_o

his_o epistle_n and_o therefore_o how_o careful_a be_v the_o true_a apostle_n of_o the_o saint_n in_o their_o watch_v over_o they_o for_o john_n say_v if_o you_o walk_v in_o the_o light_n as_o he_o
