your_o fall_n shall_v turn_v to_o his_o glory_n and_o your_o profit_n for_o if_o you_o have_v not_o by_o this_o prove_v the_o experience_n of_o your_o own_o strength_n or_o rather_o your_o own_o

that_o have_v commit_v the_o like_a offence_n therefore_o now_o you_o may_v see_v what_o the_o best_a of_o we_o all_o can_v do_v if_o god_n leave_v we_o to_o ourselves_o which_o thing_n ought_v to_o move_v you_o to_o be_v diligent_a to_o call_v earnest_o upon_o god_n for_o his_o grace_n and_o the_o strength_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n without_o the_o which_o we_o be_v not_o able_a to_o stand_v

you_o have_v do_v otherwise_o than_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o your_o own_o conscience_n will_v allow_v yet_o dear_a hart_n do_v you_o not_o think_v that_o god_n therefore_o will_v cast_v you_o

then_o to_o commit_v the_o great_a offence_n in_o the_o world_n therefore_o good_a sister_n beware_v in_o any_o wise_a mass_n that_o you_o do_v not_o once_o mistrust_v the_o promise_n of_o god_n mercy_n towards_o you_o but_o know_v for_o a_o very_a surety_n that_o all_o your_o sin_n be_v utterlye_o forgeven_v you_o for_o christ_n sake_n be_v they_o never_o so_o many_o so_o grievous_a or_o so_o great_a but_o now_o dear_a heart_n take_v heed_n and_o beware_v that_o you_o do_v not_o cloak_n that_o sin_n and_o increase_v the_o same_o daily_a in_o communicate_v with_o the_o wicked_a in_o their_o idolatry_n mass_n and_o devilish_a do_n at_o their_o den_n of_o thief_n do_v not_o i_o say_v dear_a sister_n come_v at_o any_o of_o their_o antichristian_a service_n lest_o by_o little_a and_o little_a you_o utter_o lose_v a_o good_a conscience_n and_o at_o length_n esteem_v it_o for_o none_o offence_n as_o alas_o a_o great_a number_n do_v at_o this_o day_n to_o the_o great_a pearill_fw-mi of_o their_o soul_n the_o lord_n be_v merciful_a unto_o they_o and_o geve_v they_o grace_n to_o repent_v in_o time_n and_o turn_v to_o the_o lord_n and_o then_o they_o shall_v be_v sure_a to_o find_v mercy_n at_o the_o lord_n hand_n as_o doubtless_o you_o have_v do_v praise_v be_v his_o name_n therefore_o ah_o my_o dear_a sister_n you_o may_v now_o see_v the_o word_n of_o christ_n verify_v upon_o

world_n can_v never_o have_v make_v you_o to_o do_v doubtless_o he_o may_v be_v sorry_a for_o it_o god_n geve_v he_o grace_n to_o repent_v or_o else_o without_o doubt_n it_o will_v be_v lay_v to_o his_o charge_n one_o day_n when_o he_o will_v not_o by_o his_o will_v hear_v it_o for_o all_o the_o good_n in_o the_o world_n well_o i_o think_v my_o brother_n tymme_n will_v write_v he_o a_o letter_n short_o that_o shall_v touch_v his_o conscience_n if_o he_o have_v any_o conscience_n at_o all_o but_o now_o again_o to_o you_o dear_a sister_n the_o thing_n that_o be_v do_v can_v not_o be_v undo_v and_o you_o be_v not_o the_o first_o that_o have_v offend_v neither_o be_v you_o so_o good_a and_o so_o holy_a as_o have_v at_o a_o time_n slip_v forth_o of_o the_o way_n therefore_o i_o will_v not_o

their_o profit_n and_o commodity_n and_o to_o the_o setting_a forth_o of_o his_o glory_n as_o doubtless_o dear_a sister_n you_o shall_v do_v if_o you_o put_v your_o whole_a faith_n hope_n and_o
