A42705	A faithfull testimony for the Lord wherein is proclaimed the mighty day of his power. Also, an exhortation of love unto all young children, with young men and maidens, whose hearts are tender towards the Lord. By one whom it pleased the Lord to manifest himself unto now in the dayes of my youth, and hath given me cause never to forget him, whom it pleased to call me from amongst my relations, to bear testimony unto his name, when I was about eleven years of age.

which_o be_v a_o faithful_a testimony_n for_o his_o name_n and_o therefore_o all_o dear_a friend_n dwell_v in_o the_o savoury_a life_n of_o god_n and_o feel_v his_o power_n to_o carry_v you_o on_o in_o all_o your_o trial_n and_o know_v the_o working_n thereof_o in_o all_o your_o heart_n to_o be_v as_o a_o sword_n a_o fire_n and_o a_o hammer_n to_o cut_v down_o burn_v up_o and_o hammer_v down_o all_o that_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o pure_a will_n and_o mind_n of_o god_n in_o you_o and_o that_o will_v stand_v for_o ever_o and_o will_v be_v a_o more_o sure_a prophet_n unto_o you_o than_o
