have_v but_o speak_v a_o little_a of_o that_o i_o have_v be_v tire_v so_o that_o i_o tell_v they_o to_o speak_v of_o my_o body_n be_v but_o lose_v time_n but_o if_o they_o will_v hear_v of_o divine_a thing_n i_o be_v free_a from_o they_o i_o move_v in_o the_o right_a sphere_n and_o be_v in_o my_o centre_n it_o be_v my_o delight_n to_o tell_v of_o the_o unfolding_n of_o god_n for_o as_o i_o tell_v they_o it_o be_v my_o desire_n to_o spend_v and_o to_o be_v spend_v for_o the_o lord_n jesus_n and_o when_o they_o desire_v i_o to_o take_v to_o creature_n i_o answer_v they_o i_o will_v but_o i_o can_v not_o they_o wish_v i_o to_o take_v the_o advice_n of_o the_o physician_n i_o tell_v they_o i_o have_v not_o faith_n to_o make_v use_n of_o he_o and_o whatever_o be_v not_o of_o faith_n be_v sin_n and_o beside_o i_o tell_v they_o i_o can_v not_o get_v down_o any_o thing_n my_o stomach_n be_v so_o weak_a and_o close_v up_o many_o argument_n they_o bring_v to_o i_o but_o god_n give_v in_o answer_n to_o all_o of_o they_o but_o after_o thus_o speak_v they_o be_v about_o to_o go_v away_o and_o not_o to_o praise_v and_o pray_v with_o i_o but_o there_o be_v such_o a_o earnestness_n stir_v up_o within_o i_o to_o entreat_v prayer_n that_o i_o never_o desire_v any_o with_o that_o eagerness_n and_o fervency_n of_o spirit_n to_o pray_v as_o i_o do_v mr._n greenhil_n though_o he_o tell_v i_o he_o will_v but_o that_o it_o will_v weaken_v my_o tabernacle_n and_o he_o say_v the_o water_n many_o time_n arise_v so_o high_a that_o they_o wash_v down_o the_o bank_n yet_o i_o can_v not_o let_v he_o go_v till_o he_o have_v join_v in_o praise_n with_o i_o and_o prayer_n for_o i_o and_o to_o i_o it_o appear_v such_o a_o prayer_n of_o faith_n that_o i_o never_o hear_v he_o pray_v so_o and_o when_o the_o spirit_n breathe_v in_o he_o for_o my_o recovery_n he_o say_v lord_n strengthen_v thy_o handmaid_n persuasion_n no_o soon_o be_v these_o word_n go_v forth_o which_o i_o be_o sure_o be_v from_o the_o spirit_n and_o it_o be_v the_o purpose_n of_o god_n at_o that_o time_n to_o seal_v to_o that_o which_o be_v before_o speak_v therefore_o god_n so_o stir_v i_o up_o so_o to_o desire_v prayer_n because_o that_o be_v the_o time_n of_o god_n intention_n to_o give_v i_o a_o far_a testimony_n and_o as_o the_o word_n before_o mention_v come_v forth_o it_o be_v stamp_v upon_o my_o spirit_n in_o much_o glory_n and_o majesty_n in_o these_o word_n it_o be_v finish_v be_v it_o according_a unto_o thy_o faith_n then_o i_o be_v confident_a without_o stagger_v that_o i_o shall_v recover_v though_o i_o see_v no_o probability_n in_o body_n for_o that_o continue_v still_o weak_a and_o like_a earth_n even_o the_o send_v of_o a_o dead_a carcase_n but_o god_n carry_v i_o up_o abundant_o in_o believe_v that_o after_o this_o i_o say_v friend_n now_o i_o dare_v not_o question_v any_o more_o because_o it_o be_v the_o voice_n of_o my_o god_n that_o have_v speak_v it_o and_o no_o delusion_n therefore_o i_o say_v i_o be_o not_o afraid_a to_o tell_v the_o whole_a world_n if_o i_o can_v see_v they_o that_o god_n will_v raise_v i_o up_o at_o the_o time_n that_o though_o the_o strip_v i_o of_o my_o strength_n of_o body_n he_o will_v restore_v it_o to_o i_o again_o even_o at_o that_o night_n as_o i_o say_v before_o god_n make_v it_o out_o to_o i_o by_o scripture_n and_o after_o seal_v it_o to_o i_o but_o to_o tell_v you_o how_o i_o be_v that_o night_n after_o mr._n greenhil_n be_v go_v about_o the_o nine_o hour_n that_o night_n a_o extreme_a pain_n seize_v on_o i_o

this_o attempt_n though_o very_o strong_o yet_o strong_a be_v he_o that_o be_v within_o i_o than_o he_o that_o be_v of_o the_o world_n and_o god_n give_v i_o a_o word_n to_o say_v to_o satan_n immediate_o which_o be_v this_o avoid_v satan_n god_n be_v true_a and_o thou_o be_v a_o liar_n it_o be_v the_o voice_n of_o my_o god_n i_o have_v hear_v and_o i_o know_v it_o be_v true_a and_o ere_o
