the_o true_a light_n must_v needs_o be_v in_o every_o one_o for_o the_o life_n be_v the_o light_n of_o man_n and_o so_o whatever_o good_a thing_n be_v wrought_v in_o man_n heart_n do_v not_o come_v from_o without_o he_o or_o from_o far_o but_o from_o the_o word_n within_o the_o mouth_n and_o heart_n and_o so_o arise_v from_o within_o himself_o for_o say_v wisdom_n a_o good_a man_n shall_v be_v

well_o of_o water_n spring_v up_o in_o he_o to_o eternal_a life_n and_o so_o do_v isaiah_n prophesy_v as_o the_o earth_n bring_v forth_o her_o bud_n and_o as_o the_o garden_n cause_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v sow_o in_o it_o to_o spring_v forth_o so_o the_o lord_n god_n will_v cause_v righteousness_n and_o praise_n to_o spring_v forth_o before_o all_o the_o nation_n oh_o the_o sweet_a springing_n and_o budding_n of_o the_o pure_a life_n of_o god_n in_o man_n heart_n after_o a_o night_n and_o winter_n of_o sorrow_n and_o darkness_n and_o silent_a wait_v upon_o that_o of_o god_n in_o

in_o the_o sight_n of_o other_o and_o oh_o you_o separatist_n so_o call_v how_o can_v it_o be_v expect_v that_o you_o shall_v minister_v to_o each_o other_o in_o your_o assembly_n by_o the_o live_a

hold_v forth_o so_o you_o may_v if_o you_o be_v not_o wilful_a see_v your_o mistake_n in_o separate_a nature_n from_o the_o god_n of_o nature_n and_o that_o that_o which_o natural_o show_v man_n
