to_o heap_v up_o the_o treasure_n of_o this_o life_n run_v into_o a_o snare_n and_o will_v fall_v into_o a_o pit_n therefore_o wait_v that_o in_o all_o thing_n whatever_o it_o be_v you_o may_v be_v govern_v by_o the_o spirit_n and_o in_o the_o wisdom_n and_o counsel_n of_o god_n that_o your_o peace_n may_v flow_v as_o a_o river_n and_o you_o that_o feel_v that_o assault_n of_o the_o enemy_n seek_v to_o prevail_v over_o you_o take_v heed_n and_o in_o the_o light_a watch_n that_o that_o nature_n get_v not_o up_o to_o prevail_v over_o you_o which_o will_v despair_v of_o the_o victory_n for_o if_o it_o do_v that_o will_v cause_v you_o to_o yield_v unto_o he_o but_o in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n dwell_v low_a in_o patience_n believe_v in_o the_o light_n that_o god_n will_v preserve_v you_o and_o there_o he_o will_v give_v you_o power_n against_o that_o despair_a nature_n and_o all_o the_o power_n of_o death_n and_o this_o faith_n be_v only_o in_o the_o light_n in_o which_o in_o patience_n wait_v through_o true_a obedience_n for_o the_o power_n of_o god_n to_o give_v you_o the_o victory_n and_o you_o that_o see_v the_o cross_n and_o be_v afraid_a of_o it_o while_o you_o be_v look_v out_o your_o condition_n be_v miserable_a and_o fear_n will_v be_v the_o snare_n of_o your_o soul_n because_o you_o have_v regard_n in_o your_o heart_n unto_o that_o which_o you_o must_v loose_v therefore_o turn_v your_o eye_n to_o the_o lord_n that_o in_o the_o leading_n of_o his_o light_n you_o may_v free_o give_v up_o that_o which_o be_v to_o be_v crucify_v and_o then_o your_o fear_n will_v cease_v and_o your_o strength_n in_o god_n will_v abound_v and_o take_v heed_n you_o that_o be_v wise_a that_o high_a thought_n of_o yourselves_o prevail_v not_o over_o you_o for_o that_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v for_o that_o will_v lead_v you_o into_o self-exaltation_n to_o think_v yourselves_o to_o be_v wise_a when_o indeed_o you_o be_v without_o the_o true_a wisdom_n and_o then_o there_o will_v be_v more_o hope_n of_o a_o fool_n then_o of_o you_o if_o that_o shall_v prevail_v over_o you_o therefore_o let_v the_o fear_n of_o god_n possess_v your_o heart_n that_o self_n may_v be_v keep_v in_o no_o reputation_n that_o the_o lord_n may_v be_v exalt_v in_o you_o that_o so_o you_o may_v dwell_v in_o peace_n for_o a_o servant_n of_o the_o lord_n must_v not_o exalt_v himself_o but_o keep_v low_a that_o the_o true_a god_n may_v be_v exalt_v for_o whatever_o he_o have_v which_o be_v good_a it_o come_v from_o the_o lord_n therefore_o not_o unto_o we_o but_o unto_o his_o name_n be_v the_o praise_n for_o ever_o and_o you_o who_o be_v call_v to_o suffer_v for_o the_o testimony_n of_o jesus_n let_v your_o dwell_n be_v in_o the_o power_n wisdom_n and_o counsel_n of_o god_n that_o your_o desire_n prevail_v not_o over_o you_o and_o cause_v you_o to_o bow_v for_o your_o liberty_n or_o at_o least_o take_v away_o your_o peace_n in_o your_o bond_n for_o when_o you_o be_v bind_v if_o you_o desire_v liberty_n your_o dedesire_n work_v in_o you_o make_v your_o bond_n grievous_a for_o where_o desire_n have_v liberty_n and_o be_v not_o satisfy_v that_o be_v a_o state_n of_o grievous_a bondage_n but_o if_o you_o be_v bind_v and_o desire_v not_o your_o liberty_n but_o be_v give_v up_o in_o the_o will_n of_o god_n your_o bond_n be_v not_o grievous_a but_o you_o be_v in_o the_o glorious_a freedom_n of_o the_o lord_n therefore_o watch_v against_o your_o desire_n and_o in_o stead_n of_o desire_v liberty_n by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n wait_v in_o the_o cross_n that_o those_o desire_n which_o will_v captivate_v may_v be_v destroy_v then_o shall_v your_o liberty_n be_v glorious_a though_o you_o be_v outward_o in_o bond_n than_o you_o will_v not_o be_v hasty_a for_o your_o deliverance_n but_o will_v be_v willing_a to_o wait_v the_o lord_n time_n in_o patience_n and_o with_o rejoice_v and_o my_o dear_a friend_n let_v your_o body_n and_o all_o that_o you_o have_v be_v give_v up_o a_o sacrifice_n unto_o god_n that_o in_o the_o time_n of_o trial_n you_o may_v approve_v yourselves_o to_o be_v the_o peculiar_a people_n of_o god_n be_v willing_a to_o deny_v yourselves_o and_o all_o outward_a enjoyment_n for_o the_o name_n of_o god_n and_o such_o a_o people_n god_n will_v crown_v with_o eternal_a life_n therefore_o my_o dear_a friend_n let_v none_o have_v occasion_n to_o say_v that_o for_o the_o love_n of_o your_o good_n your_o liberty_n or_o your_o life_n any_o of_o you_o have_v forsake_v the_o way_n of_o truth_n which_o the_o lord_n have_v call_v you_o to_o for_o it_o be_v through_o suffering_n that_o the_o god_n of_o heaven_n this_o day_n will_v glorify_v his_o people_n therefore_o fear_v not_o the_o rage_n of_o man_n neither_o be_v you_o dismay_v because_o of_o the_o mighty_a flood_n for_o the_o lord_n god_n who_o love_v his_o people_n with_o a_o everlasting_a love_n have_v set_v the_o bound_n thereof_o and_o for_o trial_n it_o be_v that_o they_o that_o be_v approve_v may_v appear_v and_o not_o for_o the_o destruction_n of_o his_o people_n therefore_o fear_v not_o but_o be_v valiant_a for_o the_o truth_n of_o our_o god_n and_o take_v heed_n that_o when_o at_o any_o time_n you_o have_v outward_o suffer_v loss_n for_o truth_n sake_n that_o not_o any_o of_o your_o mind_n be_v draw_v out_o to_o expect_v a_o outward_a recompense_n but_o rather_o to_o rejoice_v that_o you_o be_v account_v worthy_a to_o suffer_v for_o the_o lord_n sake_n than_o you_o shall_v have_v your_o reward_n which_o be_v eternal_a life_n for_o many_o when_o they_o suffer_v murmur_n at_o their_o outward_a loss_n and_o have_v a_o eye_n out_o after_o a_o outward_a recompense_n which_o if_o they_o obtain_v according_a to_o their_o desire_n very_o they_o have_v their_o reward_n but_o if_o they_o obtain_v not_o they_o be_v offend_v and_o stumble_v and_o reproach_v they_o from_o who_o the_o do_v expect_v it_o and_o so_o they_o become_v a_o burden_n to_o the_o lord_n people_n and_o a_o dishonour_n to_o truth_n but_o learn_v every_o one_o in_o all_o condition_n without_o murmur_v to_o be_v content_a and_o whatsoever_o you_o do_v or_o whatever_o you_o suffer_v let_v if_o it_o be_v single_o unto_o he_o lord_n and_o you_o that_o have_v this_o world_n good_n set_v not_o your_o heart_n upon_o it_o to_o bind_v up_o the_o bowel_n of_o your_o love_n from_o they_o who_o be_v in_o want_n for_o if_o you_o do_v your_o treasure_n will_v be_v the_o snare_n of_o your_o soul_n and_o the_o lord_n will_v not_o hold_v you_o guiltless_a and_o you_o that_o be_v outward_o poor_a let_v not_o your_o mind_n run_v out_o after_o relief_n from_o other_o to_o depend_v there_o upon_o and_o so_o neglect_v your_o own_o diligence_n as_o many_o have_v do_v for_o that_o mind_n prevail_v in_o you_o if_o it_o be_v not_o satisfy_v it_o will_v break_v forth_o into_o enmity_n but_o let_v the_o fear_n of_o god_n possess_v your_o heart_n that_o you_o may_v keep_v the_o truth_n in_o humility_n meekness_n and_o contentedness_n to_o walk_v and_o your_o trial_n will_v not_o be_v beyond_o your_o ability_n and_o herein_o though_o to_o you_o be_v distribute_v of_o the_o temporal_a thing_n according_a to_o your_o need_n yet_o you_o will_v not_o be_v burdensome_a to_o god_n people_n for_o it_o be_v the_o desire_v and_o the_o crave_v spirit_n after_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v a_o burden_n to_o the_o just_a and_o all_o friend_n take_v heed_n that_o that_o spirit_n prevail_v not_o in_o any_o of_o you_o which_o will_v lead_v you_o to_o watch_v for_o evil_a with_o a_o evil_a eye_n and_o although_o the_o good_a appear_v it_o regard_v it_o not_o but_o watch_n for_o the_o evil_a thereby_o to_o take_v a_o advantage_n this_o will_v beget_v strif_n and_o emulation_n but_o my_o friend_n where_o any_o thing_n of_o good_a appear_v in_o any_o although_o there_o may_v be_v yet_o much_o of_o evil_n yet_o let_v your_o tenderness_n patience_n meekness_n and_o love_n be_v exercise_v towards_o such_o in_o the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n that_o the_o good_a which_o appear_v may_v be_v cherish_v that_o you_o may_v be_v instrument_n of_o salvation_n unto_o they_o and_o whensoever_o you_o be_v call_v to_o suffer_v for_o the_o lord_n testimony_n take_v heed_n that_o the_o hasty_a fiery_a spirit_n in_o a_o fiery_a zeal_n be_v not_o exalt_v in_o you_o for_o

and_o therein_o you_o will_v have_v peace_n in_o your_o suffering_n and_o in_o the_o end_n obtain_v the_o victory_n and_o the_o eternal_a god_n will_v establish_v your_o go_n and_o crown_v you_o
