of_o the_o world_n say_v christ_n he_o that_o walk_v in_o i_o shall_v not_o abide_v in_o darkness_n but_o shall_v have_v the_o light_n of_o light_n john_n 6._o so_o say_v paul_n god_n that_o cause_v

life_n why_o do_v not_o thou_o o_o man_n why_o do_v not_o i_o o_o christ_n i_o be_o blind_a thou_o know_v i_o be_o blind_a and_o can_v see_v why_o how_o come_v it_o or_o what_o ail_v thou_o o_o christ_n i_o be_v bear_v blind_a of_o my_o parent_n yea_o ring_v your_o hand_n weep_v wail_v and_o cry_v o_o unhappy_a man_n o_o unhappy_a wretch_n o_o unhappy_a soul_n o_o that_o i_o shall_v be_v

then_o say_v o_o lord_n jesus_n i_o be_o blind_a i_o be_o blind_a o_o that_o i_o may_v receive_v my_o sight_n sweet_a jesus_n look_v upon_o i_o o_o thou_o son_n of_o david_n have_v mercy_n upon_o i_o and_o if_o any_o shall_v reprove_v thou_o for_o trouble_v christ_n be_v sure_a you_o be_v not_o daunt_v or_o beat_v off_o for_o cry_v after_o he_o but_o cry_v loud_o yea_o as_o loud_o as_o you_o be_v

see_v what_o you_o get_v by_o my_o counsel_n in_o bemoan_v your_o blind_a soul_n and_o cry_v after_o christ_n you_o be_v now_o make_v whole_a and_o see_v as_o well_o as_o any_o i_o dare_v say_v thou_o will_v not_o be_v in_o such_o a_o condition_n for_o a_o thousand_o pound_n no_o true_o not_o for_o a_o thousand_o world_n neither_o for_o what_o will_v all_o the_o world_n have_v do_v i_o good_a if_o i_o have_v live_v blind_a and_o dark_o all_o my_o day_n i_o must_v needs_o have_v be_v ignorant_a of_o god_n and_o christ_n and_o the_o river_n of_o life_n when_o as_o now_o i_o thank_v god_n i_o

they_o do_v not_o know_v their_o own_o condition_n if_o they_o do_v they_o will_v cry_v as_o i_o do_v o_o but_o from_o my_o soul_n i_o thank_v and_o i_o thank_v you_o sir_n my_o good_a friend_n for_o direct_v i_o to_o christ_n o_o sir_n if_o you_o have_v not_o i_o have_v be_v undo_v for_o ever_o and_o ever_o for_o i_o must_v needs_o have_v be_v damn_v for_o i_o must_v have_v die_v in_o my_o sin_n which_o i_o do_v not_o think_v of_o alas_o i_o be_v a_o man_n that_o mind_v nothing_o the_o lord_n know_v till_o you_o fall_v a_o talk_n of_o the_o river_n of_o life_n and_o speak_v many_o thing_n about_o this_o river_n i_o come_v to_o ask_v you_o how_o i_o may_v do_v to_o see_v it_o for_o i_o remember_v you_o be_v speak_v how_o clear_a how_o pure_a how_o beautiful_a it_o be_v and_o like_o wise_a how_o sweet_a and_o useful_a advantageous_a and_o desirable_a it_o be_v and_o a_o long_a discourse_n you_o know_v to_o that_o purpose_n so_o than_o i_o think_v i_o ask_v you_o how_o i_o may_v do_v to_o see_v this_o pure_a live_a clear_a and_o crystal_n river_n and_o you_o tell_v i_o to_o my_o think_n a_o strange_a thing_n at_o the_o first_o for_o you_o tell_v i_o i_o must_v not_o see_v it_o in_o my_o own_o light_n which_o make_v i_o stare_v and_o wonder_n at_o you_o good_a lord_n think_v i_o what_o do_v the_o man_n mean_v will_v he_o lend_v i_o his_o eye_n think_v i_o nay_o you_o tell_v i_o further_o i_o must_v not_o go_v in_o the_o light_n of_o another_o man_n god_n bless_v i_o think_v i_o the_o man_n be_v mad_a as_o sure_a as_o can_v be_v i_o must_v not_o see_v in_o my_o own_o light_n nor_o another_o but_o then_o he_o tell_v i_o as_o i_o remember_v how_o pure_a how_o pleasant_a this_o river_n be_v o_o say_v he_o it_o be_v a_o pure_a live_a river_n and_o a_o ever_o live_a river_n a_o everlasting_a river_n and_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o discourse_n about_o this_o river_n so_o that_o i_o think_v indeed_o he_o will_v never_o have_v do_v with_o this_o river_n but_o to_o be_v short_a in_o my_o relation_n about_o this_o river_n i_o think_v i_o say_v show_v i_o this_o river_n but_o say_v he_o you_o can_v see_v it_o in_o your_o own_o light_n o_o think_v i_o in_o myself_o he_o count_v i_o one_o of_o the_o blind_a man_n of_o the_o world_n because_o i_o do_v never_o much_o away_o with_o the_o new_a light_n of_o our_o world_n which_o be_v never_o half_a so_o many_o i_o think_v as_o now_o since_o the_o world_n stand_v but_o to_o come_v to_o my_o story_n he_o tell_v i_o as_o i_o can_v not_o see_v that_o crystal_n river_n by_o my_o own_o eye_n so_o no_o more_o can_v i_o see_v it_o by_o another_o man_n so_o i_o plain_o see_v he_o do_v not_o at_o all_o weigh_v the_o minister_n i_o mean_v the_o old_a orthodox_n divine_v i_o think_v these_o new_a fellow_n he_o do_v well_o approve_v of_o and_o seem_v to_o own_o say_v they_o be_v clear_a gospell-preacher_n and_o do_v hold_v forth_o christ_n very_o well_o distingnish_v the_o difference_n between_o the_o two_o covenant_n but_o then_o in_o relation_n to_o the_o river_n he_o tell_v i_o if_o i_o will_v see_v it_o i_o must_v say_v he_o see_v it_o in_o god_n own_o light_n and_o so_o quote_v david_n say_v in_o thy_o light_n we_o shall_v see_v light_a and_o then_o he_o tell_v i_o i_o must_v see_v this_o river_n in_o christ_n light_n too_o say_v thus_o as_o god_n be_v christ_n light_n so_o christ_n be_v god_n light_n say_v he_o to_o
