god_n that_o we_o keep_v his_o commandment_n and_o his_o commandment_n be_v not_o grievous_a 1_o john_n 5.2_o 3._o and_o now_o oh_o you_o magistrate_n priest_n and_o people_n who_o have_v persecute_v and_o imprison_v until_o death_n your_o neighbour_n call_v quaker_n and_o spoil_v and_o make_v havoc_n of_o their_o good_n here_o you_o have_v break_v the_o command_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v upon_o record_n in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n of_o truth_n which_o you_o call_v your_o rule_n and_o everlasting_a woe_n will_v come_v upon_o you_o if_o you_o do_v not_o speedy_o repent_v and_o with_o speed_n forsake_v those_o evil_a deed_n for_o it_o be_v write_v in_o the_o scripture_n of_o truth_n woe_n unto_o thou_o that_o spoil_v and_o thou_o be_v not_o spoil_v and_o i_o know_v we_o have_v not_o spoil_v your_o good_n nor_o seek_v your_o hurt_n any_o way_n but_o have_v and_o still_o do_v desire_n that_o you_o may_v repent_v and_o forsake_v the_o evil_a of_o your_o way_n and_o have_v your_o sin_n forgive_v you_o and_o obtain_v mercy_n from_o the_o lord_n god_n we_o desire_v not_o your_o destruction_n the_o lord_n god_n know_v but_o we_o desire_v that_o you_o may_v repent_v and_o live_v but_o the_o word_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n bear_v witness_v against_o you_o that_o you_o have_v not_o do_v unto_o we_o as_o you_o will_v we_o shall_v have_v do_v unto_o you_o if_o you_o have_v be_v in_o our_o condition_n and_o we_o in_o you_o you_o will_v not_o have_v have_v we_o to_o have_v imprison_v you_o unto_o death_n as_o you_o have_v do_v many_o of_o our_o dear_a brethren_n who_o innocent_a blood_n lie_v upon_o you_o and_o it_o cry_v unto_o god_n against_o you_o for_o vengeance_n as_o righteous_a abel_n do_v cry_v unto_o god_n against_o murder_v cain_n and_o god_n do_v hear_v and_o will_v avenge_v the_o blood_n of_o his_o elect_n and_o you_o will_v not_o have_v have_v we_o to_o have_v spoil_v your_o good_n as_o you_o have_v do_v we_o therefore_o the_o scripture_n of_o truth_n without_o you_o and_o the_o light_n of_o christ_n within_o you_o do_v bear_v witness_n against_o you_o and_o now_o you_o be_v strip_v of_o all_o your_o cover_n and_o you_o stand_v judge_v and_o condemn_v before_o the_o lord_n god_n of_o heaven_n before_o who_o all_o thing_n be_v naked_a and_o bare_a he_o search_v all_o heart_n through_o ezek._n 18_o read_v it_o through_o and_o tri_v all_o reins_o and_o there_o be_v not_o any_o wicked_a work_n that_o you_o do_v or_o have_v do_v but_o the_o lord_n god_n see_v they_o all_o and_o they_o must_v not_o go_v unpunished_a for_o the_o lord_n god_n be_v just_a and_o equal_a in_o all_o his_o way_n and_o he_o will_v deal_v just_o with_o you_o and_o with_o all_o people_n upon_o the_o earth_n yea_o he_o will_v certain_o reward_v every_o one_o according_a to_o their_o deed_n do_v in_o the_o body_n whether_o they_o be_v good_a or_o evil_n and_o christ_n word_n be_v upon_o record_n in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n which_o you_o call_v your_o rule_n where_o he_o command_v his_o disciple_n to_o love_v their_o enemy_n 48._o mat._n 5_o 43_o 44_o 45_o 46_o 47_o 48._o and_o to_o do_v good_a unto_o those_o that_o do_v despiteful_o use_v they_o and_o persecute_v they_o and_o they_o do_v as_o he_o command_v they_o for_o they_o love_v he_o with_o all_o their_o heart_n and_o his_o commandment_n be_v not_o grievous_a unto_o they_o but_o to_o keep_v his_o commandment_n be_v great_a joy_n unto_o they_o and_o so_o it_o be_v unto_o we_o who_o you_o in_o scorn_n call_v quaker_n endless_a infinite_a eternal_a everlasting_a praise_n honour_n dominion_n and_o thanks_o be_v unto_o the_o lord_n our_o god_n who_o have_v gather_v we_o out_o from_o among_o you_o and_o by_o his_o own_o everlasting_a power_n work_v in_o our_o heart_n he_o have_v make_v we_o a_o willing_a people_n yea_o willing_a to_o bear_v all_o that_o you_o be_v permit_v to_o do_v unto_o we_o and_o also_o make_v we_o willing_a to_o do_v you_o any_o good_a that_o lie_v in_o our_o power_n and_o so_o to_o reward_v you_o good_a for_o evil_n and_o this_o shall_v add_v to_o your_o torment_n and_o our_o god_n for_o who_o we_o suffer_v he_o will_v clear_v our_o innocency_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o all_o nation_n but_o you_o be_v far_o from_o fulfil_v of_o this_o command_n who_o hate_v and_o persecute_v we_o who_o be_v your_o friend_n and_o so_o these_o word_n which_o christ_n speak_v which_o be_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n which_o you_o call_v your_o rule_n bear_v witness_n against_o you_o and_o the_o light_n of_o christ_n within_o you_o condemn_v you_o and_o so_o you_o be_v strip_v of_o all_o your_o cover_n and_o so_o you_o stand_v judge_v and_o condemn_v by_o the_o lord_n god_n in_o the_o presence_n of_o all_o holy_a just_a and_o upright_a man_n who_o see_v and_o behold_v your_o wicked_a work_n and_o now_o all_o you_o merchant_n man_n husbandman_n and_o tradesman_n of_o what_o trade_n or_o call_v soever_o who_o be_v extortioner_n who_o take_v unlawful_a gain_n and_o use_v unjust_a weight_n and_o measure_n who_o cheat_n and_o defraud_v one_o another_o in_o buy_v and_o sell_v and_o exchange_v of_o god_n good_a creature_n some_o of_o you_o lie_v and_o speak_v worse_o of_o god_n good_a creature_n than_o you_o know_v they_o to_o be_v for_o your_o own_o corrupt_a end_n that_o you_o may_v make_v a_o prey_n upon_o they_o that_o have_v those_o good_a creature_n to_o sell_v and_o other_o of_o you_o that_o have_v god_n creature_n to_o sell_v you_o speak_v better_o of_o they_o than_o you_o know_v they_o to_o be_v and_o so_o you_o tell_v lie_v to_o get_v gain_n and_o so_o to_o make_v a_o prey_n of_o the_o buyer_n and_o here_o you_o be_v judge_v and_o condemn_v by_o the_o light_n of_o christ_n within_o you_o and_o by_o his_o word_n which_o be_v upon_o record_n in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n of_o truth_n without_o you_o which_o you_o call_v your_o rule_n because_o you_o do_v not_o do_v unto_o other_o as_o you_o will_v they_o shall_v do_v unto_o you_o and_o you_o do_v not_o love_v the_o lord_n god_n with_o all_o your_o heart_n and_o therefore_o you_o can_v love_v your_o neighbour_n as_o yourself_o therefore_o those_o word_n with_o many_o more_o in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n bear_v witness_v against_o you_o and_o the_o light_n of_o christ_n within_o you_o condemn_v you_o so_o you_o be_v neither_o rule_v by_o the_o light_n of_o christ_n within_o you_o nor_o by_o the_o scripture_n of_o truth_n without_o you_o and_o so_o you_o be_v unruly_a therefore_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o all_o turn_v in_o your_o mind_n unto_o the_o eternal_a true_a light_n wherewith_o christ_n jesus_n have_v enlighten_v you_o all_o and_o if_o you_o love_v it_o it_o will_v work_v repentance_n in_o your_o heart_n and_o if_o you_o give_v up_o your_o mind_n to_o be_v lead_v by_o it_o it_o will_v lead_v you_o out_o of_o all_o deceit_n and_o double_a deal_n and_o if_o you_o love_v it_o and_o in_o faithfulness_n follow_v and_o obey_v it_o it_o will_v lead_v you_o to_o love_v your_o neighbour_n as_o yourselves_o and_o then_o i_o be_o sure_a you_o neither_o can_v nor_o will_v nor_o dare_v cheat_n nor_o defraud_v they_o but_o than_o you_o will_v do_v unto_o they_o as_o you_o will_v they_o shall_v do_v unto_o you_o and_o i_o be_o sure_a there_o be_v no_o man_n that_o will_v be_v cheat_v nor_o defraud_v by_o any_o man_n that_o he_o deal_v withal_o in_o buy_v and_o sell_v and_o exchange_v god_n good_a creature_n and_o so_o let_v every_o man_n and_o woman_n come_v to_o the_o light_n wherewith_o christ_n have_v enlighten_v they_o and_o as_o they_o will_v have_v none_o to_o cheat_v nor_o defraud_v they_o the_o light_n of_o christ_n will_v not_o suffer_v they_o to_o cheat_v nor_o deceive_v nor_o defraud_v any_o man_n or_o woman_n or_o child_n whatsoever_o if_o they_o love_v it_o and_o in_o faithfulness_n follow_v it_o for_o the_o light_n be_v the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n which_o lead_v into_o all_o truth_n all_o those_o that_o believe_v in_o it_o and_o in_o faithfulness_n follow_v it_o and_o so_o if_o all_o people_n will_v come_v unto_o the_o light_n wherewith_o christ_n have_v enlighten_v they_o than_o it_o will_v lead_v they_o all_o to_o deal_v just_o plain_o true_o and_o upright_o one_o with_o another_o but_o alas_o this_o pure_a light_n and_o spirit_n in_o people_n conscience_n be_v not_o love_v nor_o heed_v nor_o believe_v nor_o obey_v by_o many_o thousand_o of_o man_n and_o woman_n who_o do_v profess_v god_n and_o christ_n in_o word_n and_o call_v the_o scripture_n their_o rule_n and_o that_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o there_o be_v so_o much_o cheat_v and_o defraud_v among_o people_n in_o buy_v and_o sell_v and_o exchange_v
