to_o come_v out_o of_o spiritual_a babylon_n and_o deny_v the_o spirit_n of_o the_o world_n and_o come_v to_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n for_o the_o child_n of_o god_n be_v lead_v by_o his_o spirit_n

that_o believe_v in_o the_o light_n of_o christ_n and_o christ_n ever_o live_v to_o make_v intercession_n to_o god_n for_o we_o and_o the_o faithful_a and_o obedient_a shall_v eat_v the_o good_a of_o

but_o i_o will_v have_v you_o reflect_v upon_o yourselves_o and_o see_v whether_o you_o believe_v in_o christ_n that_o enlighten_v all_o that_o come_v into_o the_o world_n and_o whether_o you_o bring_v your_o deed_n to_o the_o light_n and_o know_v they_o wrought_v in_o god_n for_o the_o light_n of_o christ_n will_v give_v righteous_a judgement_n whether_o they_o be_v wrought_v in_o god_n and_o we_o must_v all_o give_v account_n to_o god_n and_o receive_v a_o just_a reward_n according_a to_o our_o do_n therefore_o deal_v faithful_a with_o your_o own_o soul_n and_o see_v what_o be_v

it_o be_v my_o soul_n desire_n that_o you_o believe_v in_o christ_n and_o come_v to_o partake_v of_o his_o divine_a nature_n that_o so_o you_o may_v know_v christ_n in_o you_o the_o hope_n of_o your_o
