their_o life_n do_v manifest_v their_o nature_n and_o though_o they_o be_v hate_v and_o wrong_v they_o do_v not_o seek_v revenge_n and_o though_o they_o be_v revile_v they_o do_v not_o revile_v again_o but_o endure_v patient_o and_o wait_v to_o see_v the_o conversion_n of_o their_o enemy_n for_o christian_n never_o persecute_v any_o but_o have_v always_o be_v persecute_v by_o the_o apostate_n who_o have_v clothe_v themselves_o with_o the_o name_n of_o christian_n and_o it_o have_v ever_o be_v a_o mark_n of_o a_o true_a disciple_n of_o christ_n to_o be_v hate_v and_o persecute_v for_o his_o name_n sake_n and_o whosoever_o will_v live_v godly_a in_o christ_n jesus_n must_v suffer_v persecution_n but_o whosoever_o do_v live_v godly_a in_o christ_n jesus_n do_v not_o persecute_v any_o for_o it_o be_v contrary_a to_o their_o life_n for_o they_o that_o be_v bear_v of_o god_n they_o have_v the_o mind_n of_o christ_n and_o in_o his_o life_n they_o hold_v forth_o their_o testimony_n in_o all_o long-suffering_a meekness_n and_o patience_n not_o strive_v nor_o resist_v nor_o revenge_v but_o love_v and_o pray_v and_o blessing_n and_o in_o this_o a_o christian_n life_n be_v manifest_v and_o the_o heathen_n life_n be_v judge_v and_o condemn_v for_o who_o be_v guide_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n they_o do_v not_o persecute_v any_o though_o they_o be_v contrary_a mind_a but_o in_o all_o meekness_n and_o gentleness_n they_o labour_v in_o love_n and_o seek_v to_o win_v they_o unto_o the_o truth_n which_o they_o be_v partaker_n of_o and_o by_o soundness_n of_o doctrine_n and_o holiness_n of_o life_n they_o hold_v forth_o their_o testimony_n and_o this_o manifest_v a_o christian_n life_n where_o love_n and_o good_a will_n be_v hold_v forth_o unto_o all_o people_n and_o this_o life_n be_v far_o from_o persecute_v any_o for_o it_o can_v love_v a_o enemy_n and_o as_o there_o can_v be_v no_o perfect_a unity_n nor_o fellowship_n but_o in_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n so_o they_o that_o be_v guide_v by_o the_o spirit_n and_o life_n in_o it_o they_o labour_v in_o love_n to_o gather_v other_o into_o fellowship_n with_o they_o for_o what_o can_v persecution_n do_v to_o the_o change_n and_o renew_v the_o mind_n of_o a_o man_n it_o can_v never_o work_v reformation_n in_o the_o heart_n though_o it_o may_v force_v the_o outward_a man_n to_o conform_v in_o practice_n for_o it_o be_v only_o the_o love_n which_o overcome_v and_o persuade_v the_o mind_n into_o the_o way_n of_o truth_n and_o though_o persecution_n may_v prevail_v over_o some_o as_o to_o make_v they_o conform_v in_o practice_n yet_o it_o do_v not_o make_v they_o christian_n neither_o do_v it_o cast_v out_o heresy_n where_o any_o be_v find_v in_o such_o a_o state_n and_o what_o advantage_n have_v the_o persecutor_n by_o force_v contrary_a mind_n into_o their_o practice_n and_o worship_n while_o such_o be_v not_o in_o their_o own_o heart_n reform_v thereunto_o and_o to_o force_v a_o conformity_n when_o in_o heart_n people_n be_v nor_o reform_v it_o be_v but_o to_o make_v a_o hypocrite_n for_o if_o a_o man_n be_v not_o persuade_v in_o his_o own_o heart_n that_o the_o practice_n which_o he_o observe_v be_v according_a to_o truth_n he_o can_v never_o join_v in_o unity_n with_o such_o as_o be_v so_o persuade_v though_o he_o may_v conform_v his_o body_n to_o their_o observation_n then_o forasmuch_o as_o persecution_n can_v make_v a_o christian_n neither_o cast_v out_o heresy_n where_o it_o be_v than_o it_o will_v be_v more_o commendable_a to_o let_v persecution_n cease_v see_v that_o it_o do_v not_o manifest_v a_o christian_n life_n in_o practice_n neither_o can_v make_v a_o christian_n by_o such_o a_o practice_n therefore_o let_v every_o one_o wait_v to_o be_v gather_v in_o the_o spirit_n of_o life_n and_o love_n in_o which_o there_o be_v no_o persecution_n but_o peace_n and_o unity_n and_o prosperity_n every_o way_n for_o it_o ever_o have_v be_v and_o be_v the_o ruin_n of_o people_n and_o nation_n where_o any_o religion_n have_v be_v endeavour_v to_o be_v promote_v by_o persecution_n and_o such_o as_o have_v endeavour_v it_o have_v ever_o fall_v in_o it_o but_o can_v never_o establish_v themselves_o by_o it_o and_o so_o the_o fall_n of_o one_o have_v be_v the_o rise_n of_o another_o and_o these_o thing_n bring_v desolation_n and_o not_o peace_n objection_n but_o if_o any_o shall_v say_v that_o people_n and_o nation_n ought_v to_o be_v keep_v in_o order_n in_o matter_n of_o worship_n according_a to_o the_o present_a constitution_n of_o the_o law_n of_o that_o nation_n wherein_o they_o live_v answ_n it_o be_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n that_o order_v all_o in_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n and_o they_o that_o be_v not_o order_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n they_o be_v in_o disorder_n however_o they_o may_v conform_v to_o that_o worship_n which_o by_o the_o law_n of_o any_o nation_n be_v set_v up_o and_o if_o the_o worship_n be_v not_o perform_v in_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n it_o be_v not_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n neither_o be_v that_o order_n in_o the_o order_n of_o god_n for_o god_n be_v

under_o the_o law_n of_o the_o spirit_n which_o only_o have_v power_n to_o order_v the_o conscience_n and_o not_o the_o law_n of_o any_o nation_n in_o thing_n pertain_v to_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n so_o as_o the_o spirit_n come_v to_o be_v receive_v and_o the_o testimony_n of_o it_o obey_v then_o by_o the_o spirit_n the_o mind_n of_o man_n be_v dispose_v in_o love_n and_o peace_n and_o

this_o day_n manifest_v among_o a_o poor_a and_o a_o afflict_a remnant_n who_o the_o lord_n have_v raise_v in_o his_o power_n and_o choose_v to_o himself_o who_o be_v by_o such_o as_o be_v stranger_n to_o their_o life_n reproachful_o call_v quaker_n though_o they_o have_v a_o name_n give_v they_o which_o no_o stranger_n can_v read_v for_o the_o lord_n have_v raise_v they_o in_o his_o own_o name_n

for_o they_o be_v of_o he_o and_o they_o live_v unto_o he_o and_o the_o fruit_n of_o his_o own_o life_n declare_v his_o praise_n he_o have_v appear_v for_o they_o in_o the_o day_n or_o their_o

they_o dare_v not_o deny_v he_o but_o be_v in_o love_n with_o he_o and_o keep_v his_o commandment_n and_o he_o prepare_v their_o way_n for_o they_o and_o lead_v they_o in_o it_o with_o joy_n of_o
