fulfil_v the_o royal_a law_n of_o god_n to_o do_v unto_o all_o man_n as_o they_o will_v have_v they_o do_v unto_o they_o be_v not_o many_o of_o we_o spoil_v both_o in_o our_o trade_n and_o husbandry_n through_o the_o informer_n that_o take_v away_o our_o good_n god_n in_o heaven_n know_v and_o see_v all_o our_o suffering_n and_o affliction_n which_o be_v only_o for_o obey_v and_o serve_v and_o worship_v he_o and_o you_o know_v that_o the_o prophet_n and_o christ_n and_o the_o apostle_n they_o be_v never_o imprison_v nor_o persecute_v and_o suffer_v as_o just_a and_o righteous_a man_n by_o they_o that_o make_v they_o to_o suffer_v but_o the_o question_n be_v whether_o they_o will_v be_v so_o do_v unto_o themselves_o as_o they_o do_v unto_o other_o whether_o they_o will_v not_o judge_v it_o to_o be_v hard_a measure_n therefore_o i_o beseech_v you_o all_o to_o consider_v whether_o ever_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n do_v give_v any_o power_n to_o imprison_v and_o persecute_v and_o spoil_v the_o good_n of_o any_o for_o obey_v serve_v and_o worship_v god_n that_o make_v they_o or_o do_v they_o ever_o persecute_v imprison_v or_o spoil_v the_o good_n of_o any_o because_o they_o will_v not_o be_v of_o their_o religion_n oh_o therefore_o consider_v you_o that_o profess_v yourselves_o christian_n shut_v not_o up_o your_o bowel_n of_o compassion_n against_o your_o brethren_n but_o as_o the_o apostle_n say_v put_v on_o bowel_n of_o mercy_n and_o lovingkindness_n one_o towards_o another_o and_o consider_v what_o become_v of_o pharaoh_n that_o oppress_v and_o persecute_v the_o child_n of_o israel_n and_o all_o his_o host_n that_o rise_v up_o against_o they_o and_o will_v not_o let_v they_o go_v to_o worship_v god_n and_o what_o become_v of_o cain_n that_o kill_v and_o persecute_v his_o brother_n about_o religion_n and_o what_o become_v of_o the_o old_a ungodly_a world_n and_o what_o become_v of_o the_o city_n of_o sodom_n and_o gomorrah_n that_o grieve_v just_a lot_n and_o what_o become_v of_o the_o jew_n that_o persecute_v the_o prophet_n christ_n and_o the_o apostle_n do_v they_o not_o persecute_v they_o because_o they_o obey_v god_n and_o they_o themselves_o disobey_v god_n and_o what_o become_v of_o they_o that_o persecute_a daniel_n and_o the_o three_o child_n do_v not_o they_o persecute_v they_o for_o worship_v &_o obey_v god_n that_o make_v they_o and_o what_o do_v you_o read_v will_v become_v of_o the_o beast_n that_o compel_v to_o worship_n and_o the_o whore_n speak_v of_o in_o the_o revelation_n that_o drink_v the_o blood_n of_o the_o martyr_n and_o servant_n of_o jesus_n do_v not_o john_n in_o the_o revelation_n say_v that_o their_o end_n will_v be_v destruction_n and_o their_o follower_n with_o the_o devil_n and_o his_o angel_n who_o be_v the_o first_o that_o lead_v man_n and_o woman_n from_o obey_v god_n but_o my_o desire_n be_v that_o none_o that_o profess_v christianity_n may_v follow_v their_o way_n lest_o they_o partake_v with_o they_o in_o their_o misery_n but_o that_o all_o may_v come_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o truth_n as_o it_o be_v in_o jesus_n and_o in_o their_o own_o inward_a part_n and_o that_o all_o may_v cease_v from_o persecute_v and_o imprison_v and_o spoil_v the_o good_n of_o such_o as_o meet_v together_o to_o serve_v and_o worship_n god_n in_o spirit_n and_o in_o truth_n as_o christ_n have_v command_v and_o christ_n jesus_n by_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n have_v taste_v death_n for_o every_o man_n and_o then_o have_v he_o not_o shed_v his_o blood_n for_o all_o and_o then_o buy_v they_o with_o the_o price_n of_o his_o blood_n and_o be_v there_o any_o thing_n that_o bring_v condemnation_n but_o disobedience_n and_o unbelief_n in_o he_o and_o do_v christ_n give_v any_o command_n to_o his_o apostle_n messenger_n and_o ambassador_n to_o persecute_v they_o that_o will_v not_o believe_v hear_v or_o receive_v their_o testimony_n but_o to_o shake_v off_o the_o dust_n of_o their_o foot_n as_o a_o witness_n against_o they_o and_o that_o shall_v be_v punishment_n enough_o for_o they_o in_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n and_o do_v not_o christ_n say_v let_v the_o tare_n and_o the_o wheat_n grow_v together_o until_o the_o harvest_n which_o be_v the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n and_o in_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n christ_n will_v send_v his_o angel_n that_o shall_v be_v the_o reaper_n that_o shall_v distinguish_v the_o wheat_n from_o the_o tare_n so_o christ_n do_v not_o give_v man_n power_n before_o the_o world_n be_v end_v to_o pluck_v up_o the_o tare_n lest_o they_o shall_v pluck_v up_o the_o wheat_n with_o the_o tare_n for_o that_o power_n christ_n give_v to_o his_o angel_n to_o sever_v the_o wheat_n from_o the_o tare_n at_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n and_o if_o they_o go_v into_o everlasting_a punishment_n that_o do_v not_o cloth_n christ_n in_o his_o member_n and_o visit_v when_o he_o be_v in_o prison_n what_o will_v become_v of_o they_o that_o cast_v he_o in_o his_o member_n into_o prison_n and_o you_o read_v what_o christ_n say_v unto_o saul_n why_o persecute_v thou_o i_o when_o he_o be_v go_v with_o authority_n from_o the_o chief_a priest_n to_o persecute_v the_o christian_n at_o damascus_n and_o you_o read_v how_o often_o christ_n command_v christian_n to_o forgive_v one_o another_o as_o god_n and_o christ_n have_v forgive_v they_o and_o must_v these_o command_n of_o christ_n be_v preach_v and_o talk_v of_o and_o not_o practise_v for_o christ_n say_v you_o must_v do_v the_o will_n of_o his_o father_n if_o you_o enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n and_o they_o that_o love_n god_n and_o christ_n will_v not_o only_o call_v he_o lord_n but_o keep_v his_o command_n and_o do_v what_o he_o say_v and_o how_o do_v they_o that_o be_v call_v christian_n say_v the_o lord_n prayer_n who_o desire_v the_o lord_n to_o forgive_v they_o their_o trespass_n as_o they_o forgive_v they_o that_o

to_o god_n conditional_o for_o god_n to_o forgive_v you_o your_o trespass_n against_o he_o as_o you_o do_v forgive_v they_o that_o trespass_n against_o you_o and_o not_o otherwise_o you_o desire_v

spirit_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o mind_n of_o christ_n who_o say_v he_o come_v not_o to_o destroy_v man_n life_n but_o to_o save_o they_o and_o rebuke_v his_o disciple_n who_o will_v have_v have_v

all_o christendom_n have_v be_v in_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o mind_n of_o christ_n and_o know_v what_o spirit_n they_o have_v be_v of_o they_o will_v not_o have_v destroy_v so_o many_o man_n life_n by_o goal_n and_o persecution_n about_o religion_n and_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n as_o they_o have_v do_v since_o christ_n and_o the_o apostle_n day_n so_o it_o be_v clear_a it_o be_v not_o the_o mind_n of_o christ_n that_o any_o shall_v suffer_v or_o be_v put_v to_o death_n because_o they_o will_v not_o receive_v he_o or_o believe_v on_o he_o but_o to_o shake_v off_o the_o dust_n of_o their_o foot_n to_o be_v a_o witness_n against_o they_o in_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n and_o if_o we_o be_v to_o pray_v for_o they_o that_o persecute_v we_o than_o they_o need_v not_o fear_v that_o we_o shall_v hate_v they_o for_o we_o be_v command_v to_o love_v our_o enemy_n and_o salute_v they_o and_o not_o only_o our_o brethren_n we_o be_v to_o pray_v for_o all_o man_n even_o for_o king_n and_o all_o that_o be_v in_o authority_n that_o we_o may_v lead_v a_o quiet_a and_o a_o peaceable_a life_n in_o all_o godliness_n and_o honesty_n for_o this_o be_v good_a and_o acceptable_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n our_o saviour_n now_o this_o shall_v be_v the_o practice_n of_o all_o they_o that_o profess_v true_a christianity_n for_o god_n will_v have_v all_o man_n to_o be_v save_v and_o come_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o truth_n for_o there_o be_v one_o god_n and_o one_o mediator_n betwixt_o god_n and_o man_n the_o man_n christ_n jesus_n who_o give_v himself_o a_o ransom_n for_o all_o to_o be_v testify_v in_o due_a time_n now_o if_o king_n and_o all_o man_n must_v be_v pray_v for_o and_o all_o that_o be_v in_o authority_n and_o god_n will_v have_v they_o all_o to_o be_v save_v and_o come_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o truth_n and_o christ_n give_v himself_o a_o ransom_n for_o all_o then_o why_o shall_v man_n persecute_v and_o imprison_v and_o destroy_v one_o another_o and_o spoil_v the_o good_n of_o one_o another_o concern_v church_n religion_n and_o worship_n for_o not_o conform_v one_o to_o another_o whereas_o they_o shall_v pray_v for_o one_o another_o and_o do_v they_o not_o pretend_v to_o pluck_v up_o tare_n before_o the_o world_n end_n which_o christ_n have_v forbid_v but_o be_v the_o angel_n work_v at_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n why_o shall_v such_o as_o pretend_v themselves_o christian_n imprison_v and_o persecute_v any_o to_o death_n who_o christ_n have_v ransom_v who_o give_v himself_o a_o ransom_n for_o all_o and_o god_n will_v have_v all_o man_n save_v and_o come_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o truth_n then_o why_o shall_v any_o be_v destroy_v upon_o the_o account_n of_o religion_n and_o christ_n say_v he_o come_v to_o save_o man_n life_n and_o not_o to_o destroy_v they_o so_o it_o be_v clear_a it_o be_v not_o the_o mind_n of_o god_n and_o christ_n that_o man_n shall_v destroy_v one_o another_o about_o religion_n way_n and_o worship_n but_o pray_v for_o one_o another_o for_o christ_n say_v to_o his_o disciple_n who_o will_v have_v have_v fire_n come_v down_o from_o heaven_n to_o have_v destroy_v the_o samaritan_n you_o know_v not_o what_o spirit_n you_o be_v of_o and_o rebuke_v they_o and_o tell_v they_o he_o be_v not_o come_v to_o destroy_v man_n life_n but_o to_o save_o they_o and_o when_o christ_n come_v there_o be_v too_o many_o destroyer_n of_o man_n life_n about_o religion_n in_o the_o world_n and_o some_o of_o the_o disciple_n be_v give_v way_n to_o that_o spirit_n that_o will_v have_v have_v man_n life_n destroy_v that_o will_v not_o receive_v christ_n but_o he_o come_v to_o destroy_v the_o devil_n and_o his_o work_n who_o be_v the_o destroyer_n of_o man_n life_n and_o so_o christ_n come_v not_o to_o destroy_v man_n life_n but_o to_o save_o they_o and_o therefore_o have_v all_o in_o christendom_n who_o have_v destroy_v not_o know_v what_o spirit_n they_o have_v be_v of_o that_o have_v destroy_v so_o many_o man_n and_o woman_n life_n by_o imprison_v and_o persecute_v they_o about_o religion_n and_o worship_n since_o the_o apostle_n day_n and_o have_v not_o this_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o command_v of_o christ_n and_o the_o mind_n of_o god_n who_o will_v have_v all_o be_v save_v and_o all_o to_o be_v pray_v for_o and_o to_o forgive_v one_o another_o and_o to_o love_v one_o another_o and_o to_o love_v enemy_n yea_o to_o pray_v for_o persecutor_n and_o not_o be_v persecutor_n and_o to_o be_v clother_n and_o visiter_n of_o christ_n in_o his_o member_n in_o prison_n and_o not_o to_o be_v caster_n of_o he_o and_o his_o member_n into_o prison_n for_o christ_n who_o taste_v death_n for_o every_o man_n and_o give_v hmiself_n a_o ransom_n for_o all_o to_o

yourselves_o what_o spirit_n it_o have_v be_v that_o have_v lead_v profess_v christian_n to_o persecute_v and_o imprison_v and_o destroy_v man_n life_n &_o estate_n about_o religion_n church_n and_o

therefore_o my_o desire_n be_v to_o the_o lord_n that_o all_o that_o profess_v christianity_n may_v possess_v christ_n spirit_n and_o mind_n and_o then_o they_o will_v not_o persecute_v christ_n in_o
