such_o thing_n as_o be_v set_v before_o they_o for_o the_o labourer_n be_v worthy_a of_o his_o meat_n now_o thou_o that_o read_v consider_v in_o thy_o own_o heart_n think_v thou_o that_o the_o lord_n

whereunto_o it_o be_v the_o glad-tiding_n of_o salvation_n because_o they_o have_v not_o wherewithal_o to_o satisfy_v they_o for_o it_o nay_o very_o nay_o the_o lord_n never_o intend_v any_o such_o

those_o which_o have_v rule_v in_o this_o long_a night_n of_o apostasy_n have_v do_v but_o the_o true_a apostle_n who_o labour_v with_o their_o own_o hand_n and_o travail_v up_o and_o down_o in_o

the_o people_n that_o such_o raven_a wolf_n shall_v come_v who_o shall_v make_v a_o prey_n upon_o the_o sheep_n and_o as_o there_o have_v be_v false_a prophet_n in_o all_o age_n before_o they_o even_o

therefore_o be_o i_o out_o of_o the_o tenderness_n of_o my_o soul_n and_o in_o bowel_n of_o compassion_n towards_o thou_o move_v to_o warn_v thou_o and_o to_o advise_v thou_o in_o dear_a and_o

and_o come_v unto_o christ_n the_o light_n that_o he_o may_v give_v thou_o life_n and_o to_o cast_v off_o every_o weight_n and_o burden_n and_o the_o sin_n that_o so_o ea●●ly_o beset_v thou_o and_o that_o thou_o shall_v put_v off_o the_o armour_n of_o darkness_n and_o put_v on_o the_o armour_n of_o light_n for_o assure_o there_o be_v nothing_o that_o make_v a_o separation_n between_o thou_o

and_o altogether_o in_o darkness_n without_o any_o mean_n or_o hope_n of_o recovery_n in_o themselves_o now_o the_o lord_n behold_v poor_a distress_a man_n in_o this_o state_n whereinto_o the_o

that_o be_v it_o that_o let_v thou_o see_v the_o act_n of_o the_o prince_n of_o darkness_n in_o thou_o for_o if_o he_o plot_v in_o thou_o any_o mischievous_a intent_n whereby_o to_o destroy_v any_o

this_o be_v that_o that_o will_v redeem_v thou_o out_o of_o sin_n which_o save_v all_o they_o that_o believe_v in_o and_o follow_v the_o son_n of_o god_n the_o true_a light_n of_o the_o world_n out_o of_o sin_n and_o death_n which_o be_v the_o wage_n thereof_o now_o it_o be_v but_o vain_a for_o thou_o or_o any_o other_o to_o call_v christ_n thy_o redeemer_n and_o thy_o saviour_n and_o to_o say_v that_o thou_o hope_v to_o be_v save_v by_o christ_n after_o thy_o death_n because_o he_o be_v crucify_v at_o jerusalem_n sixteen_o hundred_o year_n ago_o and_o yet_o thou_o live_v in_o sin_n and_o

the_o hypocrite_n which_o will_v perish_v in_o the_o time_n of_o trial_n and_o thy_o feign_a faith_n can_v give_v thou_o victory_n over_o the_o world_n therefore_o if_o ever_o thou_o come_v to_o

for_o his_o suffering_n at_o jerusalem_n i_o own_o according_a to_o the_o declaration_n of_o the_o scripture_n but_o thou_o must_v witness_v he_o near_o to_o thou_o then_o at_o jerusalem_n if_o ever_o thou_o witness_v he_o to_o be_v thy_o redeemer_n and_o the_o salvation_n of_o thy_o soul_n now_o let_v i_o reason_n with_o thou_o a_o little_a in_o coolness_n and_o moderation_n if_o christ_n be_v
