far_o thou_o be_v degenerate_v from_o the_o life_n and_o truth_n which_o the_o saint_n enjoy_v and_o possess_v and_o upon_o which_o the_o church_n of_o god_n have_v ever_o be_v build_v and_o stand_v so_o be_v cool_a and_o hear_v what_o truth_n say_v for_o now_o thy_o church_n come_v to_o trial_n thou_o have_v pervert_v the_o right_a way_n of_o the_o lord_n by_o thy_o tradition_n and_o have_v be_v

stand_v upon_o and_o will_v not_o abide_v the_o day_n of_o trial_n for_o the_o foundation_n of_o thy_o church_n be_v of_o thy_o own_o lay_n and_o the_o building_n be_v thy_o own_o handiwork_n and_o thy_o church_n have_v be_v set_v up_o in_o the_o midnight_n of_o apostasy_n since_o the_o true_a church_n have_v be_v drive_v into_o the_o wilderness_n and_o the_o consecration_n of_o it_o have_v be_v

it_o be_v not_o but_o the_o foundation_n of_o god_n be_v more_o sure_a and_o the_o true_a church_n be_v build_v upon_o it_o and_o receive_v its_o name_n from_o the_o nature_n and_o not_o from_o any_o false_a conception_n for_o the_o church_n be_v in_o god_n the_o father_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o this_o be_v the_o pillar_n and_o ground_n of_o truth_n and_o be_v lay_v upon_o

own_o body_n which_o he_o take_v to_o himself_o in_o everlasting_a righteousness_n and_o espouse_v it_o in_o his_o life_n for_o ever_o and_o ever_o and_o this_o do_v not_o decay_v nor_o wax_v old_a but_o be_v the_o same_o without_o any_o variableness_n throughout_o all_o generation_n so_o be_v thy_o church_n true_o try_v and_o the_o foundation_n of_o it_o be_v find_v false_a and_o the_o true_a
