understanding_n sense_n and_o judgement_n but_o that_o which_o be_v hasty_a and_o confident_a and_o so_o ready_a to_o plead_v for_o its_o own_o sense_n and_o judgement_n according_a to_o the_o

in_o his_o people_n this_o then_o be_v in_o my_o heart_n to_o say_v in_o short_a to_o this_o objection_n let_v the_o measure_n of_o life_n judge_v free_o in_o thou_o at_o any_o time_n concern_v any_o

call_v that_o life_n which_o the_o lord_n and_o his_o people_n know_v to_o be_v otherwise_o for_o if_o so_o thou_o departe_v from_o the_o unity_n and_o bond_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o from_o the_o

for_o a_o close_a there_o be_v some_o consideration_n spring_v up_o in_o my_o heart_n concern_v unity_n which_o i_o find_v drawing_n here_o to_o annex_v in_o true_a love_n and_o tenderness_n for_o the_o use_n and_o service_n of_o other_o which_o be_v as_o follow_v 1._o unity_n in_o the_o spiritual_a body_n which_o be_v gather_v into_o and_o knit_v together_o in_o the_o pure_a life_n be_v a_o most_o natural_a and_o comely_a thing_n yea_o it_o be_v exceed_o lovely_a to_o find_v all_o that_o be_v of_o the_o lord_n of_o one_o heart_n of_o one_o mind_n of_o one_o judgement_n in_o one_o way_n of_o practice_n and_o order_n in_o all_o thing_n 2._o the_o lord_n be_v to_o be_v wait_v upon_o for_o the_o bring_v forth_o of_o this_o in_o the_o body_n that_o as_o there_o be_v a_o foundation_n of_o it_o lay_v in_o all_o the_o life_n and_o spirit_n be_v one_o in_o all_o so_o all_o may_v be_v bring_v by_o he_o into_o the_o true_a and_o full_a oneness_n 3._o the_o lord_n be_v to_o be_v

be_v to_o be_v keep_v throughout_o the_o whole_a body_n and_o in_o every_o heart_n for_o the_o preserve_n of_o it_o so_o far_o as_o it_o be_v bring_v forth_o that_o the_o enemy_n by_o no_o device_n or_o subtlety_n cause_n disunion_n or_o difference_n in_o any_o respect_n wherein_o there_o be_v once_o a_o true_a unity_n and_o oneness_n for_o the_o enemy_n will_v watch_v to_o divide_v and_o if_o he_o be_v not_o watch_v against_o in_o that_o which_o be_v able_a to_o discover_v and_o keep_v he_o out_o by_o some_o device_n or_o other_o he_o will_v take_v his_o advantage_n to_o make_v a_o rent_n in_o those_o that_o be_v not_o watchful_a from_o the_o pure_a truth_n and_o unity_n of_o life_n in_o the_o body_n for_o he_o that_o in_o the_o least_o thing_n rend_v from_o the_o body_n in_o any_o

rend_v from_o the_o life_n itself_o and_o so_o do_v not_o keep_v his_o habitation_n nor_o his_o unity_n with_o that_o which_o abide_v in_o its_o habitation_n now_o it_o be_v also_o in_o my_o heart_n for_o the_o perfect_a of_o this_o close_a to_o mention_v a_o few_o thing_n in_o the_o same_o love_n and_o tenderness_n which_o i_o have_v find_v helpful_a to_o i_o towards_o the_o preserve_n of_o i_o in_o unity_n with_o the_o body_n perhaps_o it_o may_v please_v the_o lord_n to_o refresh_v some_o other_o by_o the_o mention_n of_o they_o and_o to_o make_v they_o useful_a and_o helpful_a to_o they_o also_o 1._o the_o first_o be_v the_o pure_a fear_n of_o the_o lord_n this_o poize_v and_o guard_v the_o mind_n keep_v down_o fleshly_a confidence_n and_o conceitedness_n which_o be_v very_o apt_a to_o spring_v up_o make_v it_o wary_a and_o considerate_a either_o of_o what_o it_o receive_v or_o reject_v of_o what_o it_o practise_v or_o forbear_v practise_v cause_v it_o to_o wait_v much_o try_v much_o and_o consult_v much_o with_o the_o lord_n and_o with_o his_o minister_n and_o people_n and_o preserve_v out_o of_o that_o suddenness_n and_o inconsiderateness_n of_o spirit_n at_o which_o the_o enemy_n often_o enter_v for_o truth_n be_v weighty_a and_o will_v bear_v trial_n and_o the_o more_o it_o be_v try_v in_o the_o balance_n the_o more_o manifest_a its_o nature_n and_o way_n appear_v but_o the_o enemy_n appearance_n and_o likeness_n be_v not_o so_o but_o their_o deceit_n by_o a_o thorough_a trial_n come_v to_o be_v make_v manifest_a 2._o the_o second_o be_v humility_n of_o heart_n this_o be_v very_o precious_a and_o of_o a_o preserve_a nature_n yea_o in_o this_o state_n the_o lord_n help_v and_o teach_v and_o the_o soul_n also_o in_o this_o state_n be_v fit_a to_o receive_v the_o help_n and_o teach_n of_o the_o lord_n that_o which_o be_v lift_v up_o and_o conceit_v ready_a to_o justify_v its_o own_o way_n and_o condemn_v even_o the_o whole_a body_n be_v neither_o fit_a to_o be_v teach_v by_o the_o lord_n nor_o do_v the_o lord_n delight_n but_o rather_o disdain_v to_o teach_v it_o and_o so_o not_o be_v teach_v by_o he_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v liable_a to_o err_v yea_o to_o hearken_v to_o that_o spirit_n who_o voice_n be_v more_o please_a and_o suitable_a to_o the_o err_a mind_n than_o the_o lord_n voice_n be_v 3._o a_o three_o great_a help_n which_o in_o the_o tender_a mercy_n of_o the_o lord_n i_o have_v have_v experience_n of_o be_v sobriety_n of_o judgement_n not_o to_o value_v or_o set_v up_o my_o own_o judgement_n or_o that_o which_o i_o account_v the_o judgement_n of_o life_n in_o i_o above_o the_o judgement_n of_o other_o or_o that_o which_o be_v indeed_o life_n in_o other_o for_o the_o lord_n have_v appear_v to_o other_o as_o well_o as_o to_o i_o yea_o there_o be_v other_o who_o be_v in_o the_o growth_n of_o his_o truth_n and_o in_o the_o purity_n and_o dominion_n of_o his_o life_n far_o beyond_o i_o now_o for_o i_o to_o set_v up_o or_o hold_v forth_o a_o sense_n or_o judgement_n of_o a_o thing_n in_o opposition_n to_o they_o this_o be_v out_o of_o the_o sobriety_n which_o be_v of_o the_o truth_n therefore_o in_o such_o case_n i_o be_o to_o retire_v and_o fear_v before_o the_o lord_n and_o wait_v upon_o he_o for_o a_o clear_a discern_a and_o sense_n of_o his_o truth_n in_o the_o unity_n and_o demonstration_n of_o his_o spirit_n with_o other_o who_o be_v of_o he_o and_o see_v in_o he_o and_o this_o will_v prevent_v the_o rent_n which_o the_o want_n of_o this_o sobriety_n may_v occasion_v 4._o the_o last_o thing_n which_o i_o have_v now_o to_o mention_v be_v tenderness_n meekness_n coolness_n and_o stillness_n of_o spirit_n i_o wrap_v up_o these_o together_o because_o they_o be_v much_o of_o a_o nature_n and_o go_v much_o together_o these_o be_v of_o a_o unite_n preserve_a nature_n he_o that_o differ_v and_o divide_v from_o the_o body_n can_v be_v thus_o and_o he_o that_o be_v thus_o can_v rend_v or_o divide_v thus_o be_v the_o pure_a heavenly_a wisdom_n which_o be_v peaceable_a and_o keep_v the_o peace_n but_o the_o other_o wisdom_n be_v rough_a stiff_a hard_a clamourous_a ready_a to_o take_v offence_n ready_a to_o give_v offence_n exceed_v deep_a in_o the_o justification_n of_o itself_o exceed_v deep_a in_o the_o condemnation_n of_o other_o and_o dare_v in_o this_o temper_n appeal_v to_o the_o lord_n as_o if_o it_o be_v right_a in_o its_o way_n but_o wrong_v by_o other_o as_o if_o it_o do_v abide_v in_o the_o measure_n of_o his_o truth_n and_o life_n which_o other_o be_v depart_v from_o and_o how_o can_v it_o be_v otherwise_o how_o can_v the_o wrong_a eye_n the_o wrong_a spirit_n the_o wrong_a wisdom_n but_o judge_v wrong_n justify_v the_o wrong_a practice_n and_o condemn_v the_o right_a but_o such_o shall_v find_v if_o they_o come_v to_o the_o true_a touchstone_n even_o the_o measure_n of_o life_n indeed_o that_o they_o be_v not_o in_o the_o true_a tenderness_n which_o proceed_v from_o the_o life_n in_o the_o true_a meekness_n and_o gentleness_n in_o the_o true_a coolness_n and_o stillness_n but_o rather_o in_o the_o reason_n noise_n clamour_n and_o disturbance_n which_o arise_v from_o another_o spirit_n mind_n and_o nature_n than_o that_o which_o be_v of_o the_o truth_n and_o in_o come_v back_o from_o this_o wisdom_n to_o the_o pure_a wisdom_n from_o the_o pretend_a measure_n of_o life_n to_o the_o true_a measure_n and_o become_v tender_a meek_a cool_a and_o still_o in_o it_o they_o shall_v there_o feel_v their_o error_n from_o the_o spirit_n and_o power_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o therein_o own_o their_o condemnation_n therefore_o from_o he_o and_o also_o justify_v they_o who_o have_v abide_v in_o the_o power_n and_o be_v guide_v by_o the_o spirit_n and_o pure_a measure_n of_o life_n which_o be_v from_o god_n and_o in_o god_n while_o they_o have_v depart_v from_o it_o for_o though_o the_o spirit_n of_o error_n wherewith_o they_o have_v be_v deceive_v and_o entangle_v have_v make_v they_o believe_v that_o they_o have_v faithful_o abide_v in_o the_o principle_n and_o doctrine_n of_o truth_n while_o other_o have_v depart_v yet_o that_o will_v soon_o vanish_v as_o truth_n come_v again_o to_o be_v feel_v and_o hear_v speak_v in_o they_o and_o the_o measure_n of_o life_n to_o live_v again_o in_o they_o and_o to_o redeem_v they_o afresh_o into_o its_o holy_a nature_n and_o pure_a live_a sense_n and_o bless_v be_v he_o who_o be_v not_o deceive_v about_o truth_n but_o be_v of_o the_o pure_a nature_n
