that_o the_o drift_n and_o tendency_n of_o all_o the_o teach_n and_o direction_n of_o the_o holy_a man_n of_o god_n christ_n and_o the_o apostle_n be_v to_o turn_v people_n from_o darkness_n to_o

do_v they_o bid_v they_o look_v within_o for_o therein_o the_o controversy_n do_v consist_v because_o those_o who_o be_v true_o convert_v have_v the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n in_o they_o and_o so_o come_v to_o see_v and_o behold_v the_o shine_a forth_o of_o the_o glorious_a light_n of_o the_o gospel_n in_o their_o heart_n do_v it_o follow_v that_o that_o light_n be_v hide_v in_o they_o before_o or_o that_o the_o save_a light_n of_o christ_n be_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o carnal_a and_o unconvert_v man_n or_o because_o it_o be_v say_v they_o turn_v to_o the_o light_n do_v you_o suppose_v it_o

light_n which_o reprove_v for_o sin_n and_o believe_v in_o it_o and_o it_o will_v certain_o take_v away_o my_o sin_n and_o therefore_o you_o caution_n i_o not_o to_o open_v my_o mouth_n at_o any_o
