they_o low_o under_o the_o foot_n of_o each_o other_o by_o many_o change_n and_o vicissitude_n the_o end_n of_o all_o be_v that_o he_o may_v hide_v pride_n ambition_n and_o the_o love_n of_o this_o

obs_n 1._o as_o the_o spirit_n in_o the_o simplicity_n and_o liberty_n of_o it_o have_v be_v hold_v forth_o and_o assert_v in_o our_o supreme_a counsel_n and_o force_n for_o the_o bond_n of_o our_o union_n so_o they_o have_v prosper_v they_o have_v not_o be_v only_o as_o star_n in_o a_o cloudy_a night_n now_o appear_v for_o a_o little_a while_n and_o then_o sudden_o lose_v but_o as_o the_o star_n in_o the_o revelation_n hold_v clear_o forth_o hold_v unmovable_o fast_o in_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o jesus_n christ_n but_o when_o they_o have_v decline_v this_o interest_n when_o they_o have_v disow_v or_o confine_v this_o spirit_n as_o god_n be_v say_v to_o have_v set_v a_o ambush_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o edom_n moab_n and_o ammon_n when_o they_o come_v against_o jehoshaphat_n

the_o son_n of_o sheva_n instead_o of_o cast_v out_o they_o conjure_v up_o a_o fierce_a and_o fiery_a spirit_n these_o be_v the_o observation_n which_o i_o have_v hear_v make_v by_o other_o upon_o these_o time_n obs_n 3._o that_o which_o i_o have_v observe_v in_o myself_o be_v this_o while_o i_o at_o any_o time_n in_o any_o measure_n have_v be_v backslide_n and_o warp_a from_o the_o simplicity_n and_o purity_n of_o the_o spirit_n unto_o sensuality_n or_o formality_n of_o any_o kind_n i_o have_v find_v those_o satisfaction_n which_o i_o have_v seek_v like_o jonahs_n gourd_n a_o worm_n send_v into_o they_o by_o which_o they_o have_v be_v unexpected_o eat_v and_o wither_a what_o will_v i_o infer_v from_o all_o this_o thus_o much_o that_o we_o shall_v set_v up_o the_o spirit_n
