of_o that_o which_o be_v pure_a the_o measure_n of_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n within_o yourselves_o you_o will_v come_v to_o witness_v that_o comfort_n flow_v in_o which_o be_v not_o from_o below_o

the_o fruit_n whereof_o be_v love_n joy_n peace_n etc._n etc._n therefore_o my_o friend_n and_o brethren_n every_o where_o i_o exhort_v you_o to_o consider_v from_o whence_o come_v strife_n envy_v and_o division_n proceed_v they_o not_o from_o hence_o from_o the_o lust_v that_o war_n in_o the_o member_n of_o such_o who_o be_v look_v at_o other_o with_o a_o evil_a eye_n and_o watch_v over_o

do_v in_o the_o body_n therefore_o any_o of_o you_o that_o have_v any_o thing_n against_o another_o do_v not_o speak_v of_o it_o behind_o his_o back_n for_o that_o be_v a_o work_n of_o darkness_n but_o in_o love_n speak_v to_o they_o of_o it_o and_o if_o they_o will_v not_o hear_v then_o acquaint_v those_o who_o be_v appoint_v in_o the_o church_n for_o to_o examine_v difference_n and_o end_v strife_n that_o they_o may_v be_v proceed_v against_o according_a to_o the_o good_a order_n give_v forth_o in_o the_o church_n from_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n and_o so_o strife_n will_v be_v end_v and_o controversy_n cease_v so_o that_o those_o who_o be_v find_v in_o the_o fault_n if_o they_o fall_v not_o under_o the_o just_a reproof_n than_o they_o may_v be_v deny_v but_o friend_n it_o be_v

to_o cease_v from_o all_o strife_n and_o envy_v surmise_v whisper_a and_o speak_v evil_a one_o of_o another_o behind_o your_o back_n and_o that_o you_o all_o deal_n plain_o simple_o and_o honest_o one_o with_o another_o in_o what_o you_o see_v or_o hear_v that_o be_v amiss_o and_o none_o to_o be_v rash_a or_o hasty_a in_o reprove_v but_o let_v all_o thing_n that_o be_v do_v among_o you_o be_v do_v in_o meekness_n and_o love_n and_o then_o you_o will_v be_v a_o people_n among_o who_o the_o lord_n will_v delight_v to_o dwell_v who_o be_v a_o god_n of_o love_n and_o the_o fruit_n of_o the_o

which_o be_v my_o delight_n for_o sorrow_n it_o be_v unto_o i_o god_n be_v my_o witness_n for_o to_o write_v unto_o any_o among_o you_o of_o a_o rod_n but_o i_o can_v forbear_v for_o the_o rod_n be_v
