of_o the_o lord_n in_o meeting_n and_o those_o that_o have_v true_o hunger_v after_o righteousness_n have_v there_o feel_v the_o bread_n that_o come_v from_o heaven_n plentiful_o distribute_v and_o many_o be_v thereby_o nourish_v up_o in_o the_o eternal_a life_n it_o have_v encourage_v they_o to_o be_v frequent_a in_o meeting_n not_o only_o on_o first_o day_n but_o also_o on_o week_n day_n to_o wait_v upon_o the_o lord_n in_o his_o divine_a gift_n to_o be_v refresh_v again_o for_o as_o the_o sense_n of_o god_n goodness_n be_v abide_v in_o the_o hunger_n will_v remain_v after_o the_o child_n bread_n and_o a_o earnestness_n of_o mind_n will_v be_v to_o get_v to_o the_o table_n of_o the_o lord_n where_o our_o soul_n have_v be_v refresh_v before_o that_o we_o may_v enjoy_v the_o renewing_n of_o the_o heavenly_a life_n and_o increase_v in_o it_o wherein_o as_o we_o be_v preserve_v we_o shall_v abide_v in_o the_o favour_n of_o god_n and_o have_v a_o share_n of_o his_o blessing_n which_o he_o be_v bestow_v among_o the_o son_n of_o man_n who_o heart_n be_v prepare_v and_o stand_v open_a and_o expect_v to_o receive_v from_o he_o therefore_o friend_n let_v a_o watchfulness_n be_v in_o the_o mind_n of_o every_o one_o that_o this_o world_n care_n and_o concern_v do_v not_o become_v as_o briar_n and_o thorn_n unto_o any_o hinder_v their_o growth_n in_o the_o truth_n for_o friend_n these_o outward_a good_n the_o lord_n have_v bestow_v ought_v rather_o to_o cause_v in_o our_o mind_n thankfulness_n unto_o the_o giver_n and_o to_o walk_v in_o true_a fear_n and_o lowliness_n of_o mind_n before_o he_o and_o unto_o those_o that_o so_o do_v outward_a riches_n or_o any_o outward_a blessing_n or_o mercy_n that_o he_o bestow_v will_v not_o be_v a_o occasion_n to_o neglect_v our_o
