he_o before_o christ_n what_o can_v we_o answer_v or_o if_o satan_n shall_v spread_v our_o covenant_n before_o god_n against_o we_o as_o hezekiah_n do_v the_o assyrian_n letter_n what_o can_v we_o

there_o lie_v upon_o you_o 2._o how_o many_o thousand_o nay_o million_o of_o soul_n and_o their_o eternal_a estate_n now_o lie_v upon_o your_o hand_n of_o the_o soul_n of_o the_o present_a and_o the_o

humble_o recommend_v to_o your_o heart_n to_o debate_n and_o to_o determine_v upon_o one_o question_n that_o i_o may_v name_v no_o more_o which_o i_o can_v i_o dare_v not_o go_v about_o to_o

or_o malignant_n want_v pastor_n and_o have_v do_v long_o and_o this_o want_n still_o increase_v in_o the_o kingdom_n daily_o and_o so_o in_o divers_a place_n of_o the_o kingdom_n people_n run_v riot_n and_o do_v what_o seem_v good_a in_o their_o own_o eye_n for_o want_v of_o minister_n and_o of_o execution_n of_o justice_n among_o they_o now_o at_o who_o hand_n the_o blood_n of_o these_o soul_n who_o in_o this_o case_n can_v but_o be_v in_o miserable_a danger_n will_v be_v require_v when_o minister_n be_v in_o those_o place_n when_o justice_n be_v in_o their_o place_n we_o know_v then_o to_o who_o the_o charge_n of_o those_o soul_n belong_v but_o now_o i_o beseech_v you_o serious_o to_o commune_v with_o your_o own_o heart_n where_o the_o blood_n and_o life_n of_o those_o soul_n lie_v chargeable_a now_o 3._o you_o have_v to_o do_v with_o the_o complaint_n of_o poor_a and_o oppress_a one_o thing_n of_o as_o dangerous_a a_o edge_n if_o put_v up_o to_o heaven_n against_o

that_o you_o have_v to_o deal_v withal_o and_o upon_o the_o import_n of_o those_o three_o thing_n give_v i_o leave_v to_o represent_v these_o two_o particular_n to_o you_o 1._o that_o these_o thing_n will_v admit_v of_o no_o delay_v nor_o do_v the_o work_n that_o concern_v they_o any_o negligence_n for_o 1._o the_o church_n by_o delay_n may_v be_v ruin_v truth_n may_v be_v quite_o lose_v soul_n
