for_o the_o day_n be_v rise_v and_o appear_v that_o make_v every_o thing_n manifest_a of_o what_o sort_n it_o be_v and_o true_o friend_n it_o must_v be_v a_o spiritual_a building_n that_o will_v

have_v be_v our_o portion_n as_o our_o lord_n and_o master_n that_o go_v before_o we_o be_v make_v perfect_a through_o suffering_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v our_o joy_n to_o follow_v his_o step_n where_o ever_o he_o go_v and_o it_o be_v only_o for_o your_o good_a and_o that_o you_o may_v be_v guide_v so_o as_o you_o may_v prosper_v for_o it_o be_v the_o grief_n of_o our_o soul_n to_o see_v the_o destruction_n of_o any_o and_o therefore_o in_o tender_a bowel_n have_v we_o be_v move_v to_o give_v they_o many_o warning_n who_o day_n be_v before_o you_o which_o they_o cast_v behind_o

you_o i_o commit_v you_o to_o be_v guide_v and_o then_o i_o know_v if_o you_o mind_v it_o you_o will_v not_o be_v time-servers_a nor_o men-pleasers_a nor_o fear_v man_n who_o breath_n be_v in_o his_o

to_o know_v the_o just_a principle_n in_o every_o one_o which_o will_v knit_v and_o unite_v your_o heart_n together_o in_o the_o unity_n and_o there_o will_v be_v your_o strength_n in_o the_o one_o

in_o this_o which_o keep_v out_o of_o respect_n of_o person_n and_o out_o of_o time-serving_a and_o men-pleasing_a that_o will_v knit_v your_o heart_n together_o and_o this_o will_v keep_v you_o out_o of_o strife_n and_o contention_n one_o with_o another_o when_o the_o just_a principle_n in_o you_o all_o guide_n and_o lead_v then_o will_v righteousness_n be_v exalt_v and_o here_o will_v be_v your_o
