thereunto_o by_o the_o lord_n be_v you_o still_o and_o you_o shall_v all_o know_v he_o from_o the_o least_o to_o the_o great_a and_o he_o will_v not_o forget_v any_o one_o of_o you_o be_v thou_o never_o so_o little_a poor_a and_o weak_a in_o thy_o own_o eye_n but_o the_o hypocrite_n shall_v be_v bind_v hand_n and_o foot_n so_o that_o all_o their_o nest_n and_o hole_n shall_v not_o hide_v they_o and_o shall_v be_v cast_v into_o thick_a darkness_n that_o as_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v able_a to_o find_v their_o hand_n to_o help_v themselves_o so_o shall_v they_o not_o have_v a_o eye_n to_o see_v any_o way_n to_o escape_v the_o just_a hand_n and_o judgement_n of_o the_o lord_n but_o the_o upright_a in_o heart_n shall_v now_o be_v know_v in_o this_o day_n of_o trial_n who_o have_v none_o but_o the_o lord_n alone_o to_o trust_v unto_o and_o lean_a upon_o these_o shall_v see_v the_o salvation_n of_o god_n and_o praise_v his_o holy_a name_n for_o this_o pure_a separate_a day_n of_o his_o love_n unto_o they_o but_o of_o judgement_n unto_o all_o the_o hypocrite_n in_o zion_n my_o exhortation_n from_o the_o lord_n unto_o you_o all_o be_v to_o keep_v low_a in_o your_o heart_n and_o mind_n close_o unto_o his_o light_n that_o it_o unto_o the_o seed_n of_o life_n you_o may_v be_v lead_v in_o it_o to_o have_v your_o dwell_a day_n â—d_a night_n where_o no_o evil_a tiding_n come_v as_o you_o know_v right_a well_o and_o in_o this_o ransomed_a seed_n keep_v your_o meeting_n so_o will_v they_o be_v full_a of_o glory_n unâ—â—_n the_o astonish_n of_o all_o that_o come_v among_o you_o that_o it_o may_v now_o be_v â—â—own_v unto_o all_o people_n that_o we_o be_v those_o who_o the_o most_o high_a have_v â—osen_v to_o write_v his_o name_n upon_o as_o that_o city_n of_o god_n in_o which_o he_o delight_v â—â—ell_o that_o the_o little_a siâ—â—er_n scatter_v upon_o the_o face_n of_o the_o earth_n â—hich_v have_v no_o breast_n may_v now_o be_v think_v upon_o and_o that_o tiding_n of_o deliverance_n may_v be_v sound_v in_o her_o ear_n in_o all_o nation_n whither_o she_o be_v â—â—ven_v that_o she_o may_v flock_v as_o the_o dove_n to_o the_o window_n through_o the_o â—â—aring_a of_o the_o joyful_a sound_n that_o the_o mighty_a god_n be_v rise_v in_o a_o poor_a and_o afflict_a people_n in_o england_n who_o can_v how_o to_o any_o grave_a image_n nor_o give_v their_o power_n unto_o the_o beast_n but_o will_v follow_v the_o lamb_n wherever_o he_o go_v choose_v rather_o to_o die_v with_o he_o than_o to_o forsake_v he_o and_o dear_a friend_n and_o brethren_n my_o further_a exhortation_n to_o you_o from_o the_o lord_n of_o host_n be_v that_o you_o all_o now_o do_v live_v in_o that_o truth_n which_o you_o have_v both_o hear_v and_o speak_v of_o to_o other_o that_o so_o your_o union_n in_o the_o life_n and_o power_n may_v stand_v then_o will_v you_o be_v strong_a as_o mount_n zion_n and_o a_o help_n one_o to_o another_o the_o strong_a take_v the_o weak_a by_o the_o hand_n say_v i_o feel_v thou_o and_o therefore_o can_v leave_v thou_o behind_o but_o must_v have_v thou_o along_o with_o i_o and_o this_o will_v not_o only_o increase_v your_o number_n but_o discourage_v your_o enemy_n when_o they_o see_v you_o keep_v your_o meeting_n and_o worship_v the_o god_n of_o daniel_n as_o at_o other_o time_n and_o what_o though_o you_o be_v carry_v to_o prison_n by_o drove_n and_o slock_n and_o send_v wheresoever_o your_o enemy_n have_v power_n will_v not_o that_o their_o hour_n and_o power_n of_o darkness_n be_v the_o hour_n in_o which_o the_o father_n will_v glorify_v himself_o yes_o it_o will_v for_o the_o lord_n have_v speak_v it_o and_o by_o this_o shall_v all_o man_n know_v you_o be_v christ_n disciple_n not_o as_o judas_n to_o betray_v he_o or_o deny_v he_o before_o man_n but_o because_o you_o love_v he_o you_o keep_v his_o commandment_n and_o they_o be_v not_o grievous_a unto_o you_o though_o man_n will_v make_v they_o so_o accord_v to_o their_o power_n by_o their_o pain_n and_o punishment_n and_o i_o be_o further_a do_v declare_v unto_o you_o in_o the_o name_n of_o my_o god_n for_o your_o comfort_n and_o your_o enemy_n torment_n that_o he_o be_v bring_v forth_o a_o birth_n in_o you_o his_o people_n which_o fear_v noâ—_n death_n for_o it_o have_v in_o despite_n of_o all_o death_n power_n pass_v through_o
