as_o i_o can_v true_o say_v by_o experience_n they_o be_v to_o i_o most_o man_n in_o this_o part_n of_o the_o country_n who_o have_v know_v my_o education_n from_o my_o youth_n know_v that_o i_o be_v

yet_o for_o truth_n be_v sake_n and_o for_o the_o goodwill_n i_o bear_v to_o all_o people_n who_o have_v any_o desire●_n thereafter_o who_o face_n i_o have_v not_o see_v nor_o they_o i_o know_v i_o

of_o the_o same_o who_o be_v god_n over_o all_o bless_a for_o ever_o i_o be_v seventen_a year_n of_o age_n before_o i_o drink_v any_o strong_a drink_n and_o before_o i_o be_v twenty_o year_n old_a i_o

teach_n and_o to_o leave_v hear_v of_o they_o find_v they_o to_o be_v fruitless_a tree_n which_o cumber_v the_o ground_n and_o burden_v the_o creation_n and_o bring_v no_o fruit_n to_o god_n and_o she_o wait_v in_o simplicity_n of_o heart_n find_v something_o check_v and_o reprove_v she_o inward_o after_o which_o she_o be_v draw_v to_o those_o people_n who_o be_v in_o scorn_n call_v quaker_n among_o who_o it_o be_v clear_o manifest_v to_o she_o that_o the_o light_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n jesus_n be_v a_o sufficient_a teacher_n and_o leader_n into_o all_o truth_n and_o then_o begin_v the_o priest_n to_o cast_v their_o envy_n and_o malice_n not_o only_o against_o my_o poor_a wife_n but_o against_o i_o for_o suffer_v she_o to_o go_v to_o the_o quaker_n meeting_n as_o they_o call_v they_o and_o so_o endeavour_v to_o stir_v i_o up_o against_o my_o dear_a wife_n and_o put_v it_o upon_o i_o to_o tell_v she_o if_o she_o will_v not_o cease_v meet_v with_o they_o and_o desert_n they_o i_o may_v leave_v and_o forsake_v she_o and_o that_o i_o ought_v to_o tell_v she_o they_o meet_v together_o to_o commit_v whoredom_n &_o filthiness_n in_o lie_v one_o with_o another_o and_o this_o they_o press_v daily_o upon_o i_o but_o true_o they_o can_v not_o persuade_v i_o to_o believe_v any_o such_o thing_n because_o i_o know_v her_o conversation_n to_o be_v chaste_a and_o always_o

declare_v i_o may_v speak_v and_o object_v and_o if_o they_o can_v not_o make_v good_a what_o they_o have_v speak_v she_o will_v ask_v i_o for_o no_o more_o meeting_n at_o which_o meeting_n i_o be_v convince_v though_o not_o convert_v for_o by_o that_o of_o god_n in_o my_o conscience_n i_o be_v satisfy_v that_o what_o be_v declare_v be_v truth_n so_o within_o a_o short_a time_n after_o i_o be_v make_v willing_a to_o come_v out_o from_o the_o priest_n and_o their_o mass-house_n also_o and_o go_v among_o the_o people_n of_o god_n together_o with_o my_o dear_a wife_n though_o with_o much_o shame_n and_o trouble_v to_o bear_v the_o scoff_v and_o reproach_n of_o wicked_a people_n which_o cause_v i_o to_o reason_n in_o myself_o and_o conclude_v such_o revile_n and_o scorn_n i_o can_v not_o
