heart_n and_o while_o you_o have_v time_n prize_v it_o before_o it_o be_v too_o late_o and_o know_v you_o protestant_n that_o it_o be_v only_o the_o true_a jew_n which_o shall_v have_v acceptance_n in_o his_o presence_n in_o that_o day_n even_o they_o who_o be_v of_o the_o circumcision_n of_o the_o heart_n who_o be_v cover_v with_o his_o holy_a spirit_n and_o not_o with_o a_o name_n to_o live_v and_o be_v dead_a as_o it_o be_v with_o you_o at_o this_o day_n therefore_o this_o visitation_n of_o love_n be_v send_v among_o you_o that_o you_o may_v read_v and_o consider_v your_o condition_n and_o how_o you_o stand_v that_o you_o may_v not_o plead_v ignorance_n in_o the_o dreadful_a day_n of_o account_n which_o be_v even_o at_o the_o door_n and_o remember_v if_o god_n spare_v not_o the_o natural_a branch_n but_o cut_v they_o off_o who_o sin_v he_o will_v not_o spare_v you_o for_o the_o soul_n that_o sin_v shall_v die_v but_o he_o that_o turn_v from_o his_o sin_n and_o do_v righteousness_n shall_v live_v and_o there_o be_v no_o other_o covenant_n or_o promise_n of_o god_n than_o this_o therefore_o let_v not_o your_o preacher_n deceive_v you_o any_o long_o by_o tell_v you_o it_o shall_v go_v well_o with_o you_o though_o you_o live_v in_o sin_n and_o uncleanness_n but_o turn_v to_o the_o light_n of_o christ_n which_o condemn_v you_o for_o all_o sin_n and_o give_v up_o to_o be_v guide_v by_o it_o and_o it_o will_v lead_v you_o to_o forsake_v your_o sin_n so_o will_v you_o find_v mercy_n else_o you_o will_v perish_v eternal_o which_o be_v the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n unto_o you_o all_o therefore_o i_o say_v again_o and_o again_o prize_n god_n love_n which_o be_v free_o tender_v unto_o you_o for_o a_o famine_n of_o the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n have_v be_v among_o man_n and_o the_o vision_n have_v fail_v which_o have_v be_v the_o cause_n people_n have_v perish_v even_o because_o of_o ignorance_n therefore_o come_v to_o christ_n the_o light_n the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n that_o you_o may_v learn_v only_o of_o he_o and_o receive_v wisdom_n of_o he_o who_o make_v all_o they_o true_o wise_a unto_o salvation_n who_o come_v unto_o he_o and_o hear_v he_o so_o than_o their_o soul_n come_v to_o live_v and_o not_o before_o and_o take_v not_o this_o as_o a_o idle_a tale_n or_o story_n for_o though_o my_o message_n be_v not_o adorn_v with_o entice_a word_n of_o man_n wisdom_n or_o as_o man_n wisdom_n teach_v yet_o know_v assure_o that_o if_o you_o reject_v it_o it_o will_v be_v your_o condemnation_n and_o you_o will_v be_v leave_v without_o excuse_n as_o i_o say_v if_o god_n spare_v not_o the_o natural_a branch_n when_o they_o sin_v even_o they_o who_o be_v once_o true_o graft_v into_o the_o true_a olive_n tree_n sure_o he_o will_v not_o spare_v you_o who_o be_v never_o yet_o graft_v into_o any_o thing_n but_o sin_n and_o corruption_n as_o plain_o appear_v by_o your_o fruit_n of_o lightness_n vanity_n and_o vain_a glory_n and_o the_o deportment_n both_o of_o you_o and_o your_o woman_n who_o go_v in_o plait_a hair_n and_o in_o gold_n and_o silver_n which_o be_v never_o the_o ornament_n of_o the_o holy_a woman_n of_o god_n nor_o of_o sarah_n but_o their_o ornament_n be_v that_o of_o the_o heart_n even_o the_o ornament_n of_o a_o meek_a and_o quiet_a spirit_n which_o be_v with_o the_o lord_n of_o great_a price_n and_o be_v only_o accept_v of_o god_n and_o your_o own_o habit_n be_v nothing_o differ_v from_o all_o the_o vain_a and_o abominable_a in_o your_o nation_n which_o the_o true_a christian_n be_v not_o to_o do_v nor_o fashion_n themselves_o according_a to_o the_o former_a time_n of_o ignorance_n but_o be_v to_o be_v renew_v in_o their_o mind_n and_o to_o be_v careful_a in_o all_o thing_n and_o to_o walk_v

say_v the_o apostle_n be_v you_o follower_n of_o i_o as_o i_o be_o of_o christ_n but_o how_o you_o do_v those_o thing_n let_v the_o pure_a just_a principle_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n judge_n in_o all_o your_o conscience_n be_v you_o true_o what_o you_o profess_v yourselves_o to_o be_v in_o word_n will_v you_o not_o be_v a_o witness_n against_o all_o the_o vanity_n and_o wickedness_n of_o

thyself_o for_o it_o be_v only_o the_o sin_n of_o a_o people_n or_o nation_n which_o separate_v they_o from_o god_n and_o bring_v judgement_n upon_o they_o or_o any_o land_n that_o the_o inhabitant_n may_v learn_v righteousness_n but_o if_o they_o refuse_v to_o be_v warn_v thereby_o and_o harden_v their_o neck_n then_o will_v the_o lord_n sweep_v they_o away_o with_o the_o bosom_n of_o

judgement_n that_o other_o may_v take_v warning_n therefore_o my_o bowel_n be_v true_o move_v in_o i_o towards_o you_o that_o you_o may_v not_o slight_v the_o day_n of_o your_o visitation_n but_o diligent_o hearken_v to_o the_o lord_n which_o if_o you_o do_v he_o will_v soon_o subdue_v all_o your_o enemy_n for_o you_o and_o make_v you_o
the_o enemy_n &_o adversary_n of_o all_o mankind_n and_o to_o this_o do_v the_o true_a christian_n attain_v in_o this_o life_n even_o a_o perfect_a redemption_n from_o sin_n and_o do_v witness_v the_o blood_n of_o christ_n sufficient_a to_o purge_v they_o from_o all_o unrighteousness_n and_o say_v the_o apostle_n he_o which_o have_v suffer_v in_o the_o flesh_n have_v cease_v from_o sin_n mark_v such_o cease_v from_o sin_n and_o witness_v the_o body_n of_o sin_n put_v off_o and_o again_o the_o apostle_n paul_n say_v unto_o the_o roman_n when_o they_o be_v servant_n unto_o sin_n they_o be_v free_a from_o righteousness_n be_v then_o make_v free_a from_o sin_n they_o become_v the_o servant_n of_o righteousness_n so_o these_o thing_n do_v the_o true_a christian_n come_v to_o witness_v though_o you_o be_v not_o ashamed_a to_o take_v their_o word_n to_o plead_v for_o the_o devil_n kingdom_n as_o long_o as_o you_o live_v though_o the_o apostle_n say_v his_o servant_n you_o be_v to_o who_o you_o obey_v so_o he_o which_o obey_v sin_n be_v a_o servant_n of_o sin_n and_o the_o apostle_n james_n say_v let_v no_o man_n say_v when_o he_o be_v tempt_v that_o he_o be_v tempt_v of_o god_n for_o god_n tempt_v not_o to_o evil_a but_o when_o a_o man_n be_v tempt_v unto_o lust_n he_o be_v tempt_v of_o the_o devil_n and_o lust_n when_o it_o be_v conceive_v bring_v forth_o sin_n and_o sin_n when_o it_o be_v finish_v bring_v forth_o death_n so_o be_v not_o deceive_v with_o vain_a word_n for_o such_o as_o you_o sow_v such_o shall_v you_o reap_v if_o you_o sow_v to_o the_o spirit_n you_o shall_v of_o the_o spirit_n reap_v life_n everlasting_a but_o if_o to_o the_o flesh_n you_o shall_v of_o the_o flesh_n reap_v corruption_n for_o the_o wage_n of_o sin_n be_v death_n but_o the_o gift_n of_o god_n be_v eternal_a life_n so_o come_v all_o to_o the_o gift_n of_o god_n which_o be_v the_o light_n of_o christ_n jesus_n which_o he_o have_v enlighten_v you_o withal_o and_o you_o will_v come_v to_o know_v the_o free_a grace_n of_o god_n unto_o salvation_n which_o will_v teach_v you_o to_o deny_v all_o ungodly_a lust_n and_o not_o to_o plead_v for_o they_o and_o to_o live_v sober_o and_o righteous_o in_o this_o present_a evil_a world_n mark_v this_o be_v the_o fruit_n and_o effect_n of_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n and_o be_v not_o only_o give_v to_o talk_v of_o and_o say_v you_o be_v save_v by_o grace_n while_o you_o turn_v from_o it_o in_o wantonness_n which_o the_o saint_n and_o christian_n do_v not_o but_o come_v through_o the_o cross_n to_o be_v save_v even_o from_o sin_n

make_v you_o free_a from_o sin_n and_o pollution_n though_o this_o thing_n stumble_v the_o jew_n when_o christ_n speak_v it_o unto_o they_o for_o they_o look_v out_o at_o some_o worldly_a thing_n not_o consider_v they_o be_v servant_n to_o sin_n which_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o all_o their_o misery_n therefore_o be_v you_o warn_v and_o fear_v plead_v for_o that_o which_o will_v be_v your_o
