the_o church_n of_o christ_n and_o people_n of_o god_n i_o answer_v far_o be_v such_o a_o thought_n from_o my_o heart_n i_o will_v not_o do_v it_o for_o a_o world_n but_o this_o i_o say_v if_o they_o be_v the_o people_n of_o god_n than_o they_o will_v not_o keep_v such_o a_o stir_n about_o a_o outward_a gathering_n and_o a_o external_a membership_n but_o they_o will_v own_v the_o church_n of_o

pitch_v their_o love_n and_o all_o other_o they_o behold_v afar_o off_o who_o be_v not_o square_v to_o their_o churchway_n but_o in_o vain_a do_v they_o tell_v i_o of_o their_o saintship_n or_o of_o be_v the_o people_n of_o god_n for_o while_o they_o rest_v in_o shadow_n form_n or_o any_o outward_a thing_n christ_n in_o the_o spirit_n or_o comforter_n can_v come_v therefore_o it_o be_v
