the_o temple_n that_o god_n do_v create_v for_o himself_o to_o dwell_v in_o even_o above_o all_o that_o be_v true_o call_v god_n and_o in_o a_o little_a remnant_n the_o lord_n god_n have_v recover_v

be_v true_o so_o who_o have_v redeem_v we_o out_o of_o unrighteousness_n and_o thus_o god_n the_o father_n have_v make_v his_o son_n christ_n jesus_n unto_o we_o wisdom_n righteousness_n sanctification_n and_o redemption_n and_o thus_o we_o who_o sometime_o be_v foreigner_n and_o stranger_n from_o god_n be_v now_o bring_v near_o unto_o he_o and_o we_o that_o be_v in_o day_n past_a darkness_n be_v now_o make_v light_n in_o the_o lord_n and_o we_o who_o in_o time_n past_a be_v dead_a in_o trespass_n and_o sin_n have_v he_o now_o quicken_v and_o thus_o god_n have_v make_v his_o

within_o we_o which_o we_o have_v long_o be_v look_v for_o without_o we_o among_o the_o false_a prophet_n which_o christ_n say_v shall_v come_v and_o that_o they_o shall_v deceive_v many_o and_o he_o say_v they_o shall_v say_v lo_o here_o be_v christ_n but_o christ_n say_v unto_o his_o disciple_n go_v you_o not_o forth_o now_o reader_n consider_v that_o christ_n say_v unto_o his_o disciple_n before_o he_o be_v crucify_v at_o jerusalem_n i_o be_o the_o vine_n you_o be_v the_o branch_n as_o the_o branch_n can_v bring_v forth_o fruit_n except_o they_o abide_v in_o the_o vine_n no_o more_o

in_o that_o visible_a appearance_n which_o he_o after_o do_v suffer_v in_o and_o so_o it_o be_v good_a wholesome_a doctrine_n that_o he_o do_v preach_v unto_o they_o when_o he_o say_v they_o shall_v say_v lo_o here_o be_v christ_n and_o lo_o there_o be_v christ_n believe_v they_o not_o go_v not_o forth_o for_o that_o of_o christ_n which_o they_o be_v come_v to_o know_v and_o their_o mind_n be_v bring_v in_o unto_o that_o be_v it_o which_o be_v sufficient_a to_o give_v they_o the_o knowledge_n of_o those_o self_n prophet_n which_o christ_n foretell_v they_o of_o that_o they_o shall_v come_v in_o his_o name_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v very_o necessary_a that_o he_o shall_v exhort_v they_o to_o keep_v within_o with_o it_o and_o this_o measure_n which_o they_o be_v gather_v into_o the_o belief_n of_o and_o feel_v of_o before_o his_o departure_n in_o that_o only_a and_o in_o nothing_o else_o can_v they_o know_v he_o and_o receive_v he_o in_o his_o come_n again_o unto_o they_o who_o say_v i_o will_v not_o leave_v you_o comfortless_a i_o and_o my_o father_n we_o will_v come_v and_o make_v our_o abode_n with_o you_o and_o they_o wait_v at_o jerusalem_n until_o this_o bless_a

to_o his_o promise_n but_o now_o we_o who_o have_v our_o be_v in_o this_o age_n wherein_o the_o whore_n the_o false_a church_n have_v sit_v as_o a_o queen_n and_o have_v riden_v upon_o the_o scarlet_a

feign_a word_n and_o fair_a speech_n with_o which_o they_o do_v lie_v in_o wait_n for_o that_o purpose_n and_o so_o we_o be_v long_a learning_n of_o they_o but_o be_v never_o able_a to_o come_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o true_a god_n nor_o of_o his_o true_a worship_n by_o all_o their_o teach_n and_o so_o physician_n of_o no_o value_n we_o have_v find_v they_o to_o be_v but_o as_o the_o apostle_n paul_n be_v send_v to_o open_v the_o eye_n of_o the_o mind_n which_o the_o god_n of_o the_o world_n have_v blind_v by_o turn_v people_n mind_n from_o that_o dark_a power_n that_o lead_v they_o into_o sin_n unto_o the_o light_n and_o power_n of_o christ_n in_o they_o which_o do_v condemn_v for_o sin_n by_o which_o they_o do_v witness_v redemption_n from_o sin_n so_o the_o lord_n god_n have_v raise_v up_o some_o in_o this_o present_a age_n in_o the_o same_o work_n to_o turn_v people_n mind_n in_o unto_o the_o light_n that_o thereby_o they_o may_v receive_v the_o knowledge_n of_o

within_o we_o for_o the_o hireling_n priest_n and_o other_o high_a professor_n who_o we_o do_v follow_v for_o teach_v they_o do_v general_o agree_v in_o tell_v of_o we_o that_o revelation_n be_v

peter_n the_o minister_n of_o christ_n he_o bring_v people_n to_o the_o light_n of_o the_o free_a gift_n of_o god_n in_o they_o and_o so_o we_o the_o servant_n and_o minister_n of_o christ_n we_o do_v direct_a people_n to_o the_o light_n and_o grace_n of_o god_n in_o they_o which_o be_v god_n gift_n unto_o they_o to_o profit_v withal_o and_o we_o the_o servant_n of_o christ_n do_v speak_v that_o

of_o god_n can_v be_v buy_v nor_o sell_v for_o money_n for_o simon_n magus_n the_o sorcerer_n when_o he_o perceive_v the_o gift_n and_o power_n of_o god_n which_o be_v with_o peter_n and_o the_o

in_o former_a age_n do_v not_o sell_v the_o gift_n which_o god_n have_v give_v they_o for_o money_n but_o judge_v and_o reprove_v simon_n who_o will_v have_v give_v they_o money_n for_o the_o gift_n of_o god_n and_o the_o servant_n or_o minister_n now_o at_o this_o day_n who_o have_v receive_v a_o gift_n from_o god_n and_o a_o command_n from_o god_n to_o speak_v unto_o people_n they_o do_v not_o

of_o god_n within_o they_o they_o do_v not_o sell_v for_o money_n nor_o for_o any_o earthly_a thing_n and_o so_o in_o this_o they_o be_v like_a unto_o the_o minister_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o age_n
