A62897	An epistle to the flock professing the true light which lighteth every one that cometh into the world : wherein the opposers and villifiers of the true light are (by the way) expostulated with, and they that own it are exhorted to answer the light in the consciences of others by an unblamable light, and to grow up therein, both in general and in their particular relations : given forth chiefly for the service of some in the flock and may be serviceable also to others / from W.T.

the_o tenderness_n of_o who_o heart_n to_o the_o distress_a and_o good_a will_n of_o his_o mind_n to_o all_o carry_v he_o forth_o to_o exercise_v mercy_n and_o bountifulness_n or_o kindness_n to_o
