holy_a book_n of_o god_n be_v our_o ground_n let_v it_o be_v bring_v forth_o to_o cut_v down_o all_o controversy_n and_o let_v man_n if_o they_o look_v for_o any_o part_n of_o the_o blessing_n here_o promise_v yield_v all_o honour_n and_o glory_n unto_o this_o sacred_a word_n yea_o let_v no_o man_n stand_v upon_o his_o own_o honour_n or_o reputation_n if_o he_o have_v maintain_v any_o thing_n

the_o only_a way_n to_o grow_v into_o this_o holy_a unity_n and_o let_v such_o as_o walk_v a_o wry_a forsake_v their_o evil_a way_n embrace_v the_o heavenly_a truth_n and_o follow_v the_o rule_v thereof_o if_o they_o will_v be_v account_v studious_a of_o peace_n and_o concord_n join_v thus_o unto_o the_o truth_n both_o in_o faith_n and_o godliness_n of_o life_n we_o shall_v be_v join_v
