a_o epistle_n to_o friend_n come_v forth_o in_o the_o beginning_n of_o a_o testimony_n and_o of_o the_o snare_n of_o the_o enemy_n therein_o dear_o belove_a friend_n who_o in_o your_o meeting_n and_o assembly_n sometime_o feel_v the_o beginning_n of_o a_o testimony_n for_o the_o lord_n spring_n and_o move_v in_o your_o heart_n keep_v your_o watch_n in_o the_o light_n that_o so_o none_o stay_v behind_o neither_o run_v before_o but_o let_v all_o who_o open_a their_o mouth_n in_o the_o assembly_n of_o the_o lord_n people_n do_v it_o as_o the_o oracle_n of_o god_n in_o the_o arise_v of_o the_o eternal_a pure_a power_n for_o nothing_o can_v beget_v to_o god_n but_o what_o come_v from_o the_o immortal_a word_n of_o life_n that_o live_v and_o abide_v for_o ever_o and_o nothing_o can_v refresh_v strengthen_v or_o comfort_v that_o which_o be_v beget_v by_o the_o immortal_a word_n of_o life_n but_o what_o spring_v from_o the_o same_o and_o therefore_o dear_a friend_n who_o this_o concern_v wait_v diligent_o not_o only_o to_o know_v and_o savour_v every_o motion_n but_o also_o to_o know_v the_o appoint_a time_n and_o season_n when_o the_o same_o motion_n shall_v be_v bring_v forth_o so_o shall_v what_o be_v minister_v if_o it_o be_v but_o few_o word_n reach_v to_o the_o witness_n and_o do_v its_o service_n for_o this_o i_o have_v learn_v that_o though_o there_o may_v be_v a_o true_a motion_n of_o the_o power_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o a_o true_a operation_n thereof_o yet_o where_o there_o be_v not_o a_o true_a wait_v for_o the_o perfect_a of_o what_o be_v to_o be_v bring_v forth_o but_o instead_o thereof_o it_o come_v forth_o before_o the_o time_n that_o which_o be_v bring_v forth_o seem_v a_o untimely_a birth_n which_o be_v hurt_v as_o to_o the_o vessel_n through_o which_o it_o come_v and_o the_o hearer_n thereof_o be_v burden_a and_o the_o life_n which_o first_o move_v come_v to_o be_v oppress_v and_o here_o be_v the_o ground_n of_o that_o untimely_a birth_n that_o never_o see_v the_o sun_n that_o have_v do_v or_o shall_v come_v forth_o and_o as_o long_o as_o any_o be_v find_v walk_v in_o this_o by-path_n although_o they_o may_v find_v the_o true_a power_n of_o god_n move_v in_o they_o yet_o they_o never_o come_v to_o be_v skilful_a nor_o to_o divide_v the_o word_n of_o god_n aright_o and_o such_o do_v not_o true_o grow_v but_o sometime_o bring_v forth_o a_o mixture_n sow_v the_o field_n with_o two_o sort_n of_o grain_n and_o wear_v a_o linen_n and_o woollen_a garment_n so_o friend_n this_o lie_v upon_o my_o spirit_n to_o all_o who_o feel_v the_o beginning_n of_o a_o testimony_n spring_n in_o your_o heart_n wait_v diligent_o in_o that_o light_n low_a in_o the_o pure_a stillness_n and_o passiveness_n of_o your_o spirit_n and_o as_o you_o here_o wait_v you_o will_v come_v to_o feel_v the_o counsel_n of_o the_o lord_n seal_v unto_o your_o understanding_n and_o see_v the_o time_n when_o to_o speak_v and_o when_o to_o be_v silent_a and_o here_o will_v be_v a_o right_n and_o true_a increase_n of_o your_o testimony_n and_o when_o that_o which_o be_v thus_o seal_v to_o the_o understanding_n be_v offer_v retire_v inward_a and_o sink_v down_o into_o the_o pure_a stillness_n and_o keep_v in_o the_o valley_n and_o let_v all_o know_v that_o no_o ministration_n save_o that_o which_o come_v from_o life_n itself_o from_o the_o fresh_a arising_n of_o the_o pure_a power_n of_o the_o lord_n avail_v any_o thing_n and_o all_o ministring_n out_o of_o this_o will_v come_v to_o a_o end_n and_o fade_v and_o vanish_v in_o the_o approach_a day_n of_o trial._n and_o dear_a friend_n as_o the_o mind_n and_o will_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v make_v manifest_a yield_v sincere_a obedience_n thereunto_o if_o the_o requiring_n be_v but_o a_o few_o word_n for_o i_o have_v see_v it_o a_o dangerous_a thing_n to_o resist_v and_o rebel_n against_o the_o motion_n of_o god_n power_n and_o have_v know_v many_o hour_n of_o sorrow_n for_o so_o rebel_a and_o in_o the_o day_n of_o a_o beginning_n of_o a_o testimony_n for_o the_o lord_n even_o in_o the_o upright_a heart_n great_a will_v be_v the_o opposition_n of_o the_o enemy_n every_o way_n where_o he_o can_v lead_v out_o before_o for_o to_o bring_v forth_o a_o untimely_a birth_n there_o he_o will_v endeavour_v to_o shut_v up_o the_o heart_n in_o disobedience_n or_o rebellion_n or_o raise_v up_o so_o many_o fear_n doubt_n and_o amazement_n if_o possible_a to_o bewild_a the_o soul_n and_o here_o i_o have_v perish_v if_o it_o have_v not_o be_v for_o the_o dear_a love_n and_o
