A62897	An epistle to the flock professing the true light which lighteth every one that cometh into the world : wherein the opposers and villifiers of the true light are (by the way) expostulated with, and they that own it are exhorted to answer the light in the consciences of others by an unblamable light, and to grow up therein, both in general and in their particular relations : given forth chiefly for the service of some in the flock and may be serviceable also to others / from W.T.

to_o be_v change_v from_o one_o form_n of_o word_n to_o another_o be_v it_o although_o the_o holy_a spirit_n which_o change_v the_o heart_n require_v word_n suitable_a to_o himself_o and_o to_o
