rather_o fear_v to_o offend_v as_o the_o prophet_n reeve_n say_v that_o a_o true_a bear_v saint_n be_v afraid_a of_o his_o own_o evil_a thought_n much_o more_o of_o evil_a word_n or_o deed_n against_o god_n or_o man_n again_o we_o see_v by_o this_o book_n of_o the_o act_n that_o these_o two_o prophet_n be_v joint_o choose_v of_o god_n and_o make_v equal_a in_o power_n and_o authority_n for_o the_o prophet_n reeve_n say_v that_o his_o fellow_n witness_v have_v as_o great_a power_n as_o he_o have_v himself_o and_o further_o say_v that_o he_o be_v the_o lord_n last_o highpriest_n if_o this_o be_v grant_v than_o it_o must_v follow_v that_o there_o can_v be_v no_o salvation_n to_o such_o as_o shall_v reject_v he_o or_o his_o write_n although_o they_o pretend_v to_o own_o john_n reeve_n moreover_o the_o mighty_a suffering_n that_o these_o prophet_n have_v undergo_v for_o their_o testimony_n sake_n be_v admirable_a yet_o notwithstanding_o all_o opposition_n providence_n preserve_v they_o so_o as_o that_o they_o both_o die_v in_o their_o bed_n in_o peace_n and_o not_o only_o so_o but_o this_o last_o prophet_n live_v to_o see_v the_o downfall_n of_o many_o of_o his_o great_a enemy_n and_o of_o his_o persecutor_n and_o judge_n now_o to_o come_v to_o a_o conclusion_n of_o this_o epistle_n when_o the_o prophet_n have_v write_v this_o book_n of_o the_o act_n he_o keep_v it_o by_o he_o not_o let_v any_o to_o see_v it_o but_o about_o two_o week_n before_o he_o die_v it_o be_v put_v into_o the_o hand_n of_o one_o of_o we_o that_o be_v his_o true_a friend_n and_o ancient_a acquaintance_n in_o order_n to_o be_v print_v after_o his_o death_n which_o now_o with_o the_o assistance_n of_o some_o friend_n through_o providence_n it_o be_v perfect_v and_o be_v recommend_v to_o the_o whole_a household_n of_o faith_n which_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o it_o will_v be_v accept_v of_o be_v a_o true_a copy_n from_o the_o original_a there_o be_v nothing_o here_o print_v but_o what_o

print_v that_o be_v write_v for_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o although_o there_o be_v above_o a_o hundred_o sheet_n of_o they_o in_o print_n yet_o be_v it_o not_o past_o a_o three_o part_n of_o what_o

page_n in_o folio_n in_o which_o book_n and_o in_o what_o be_v print_v almost_o all_o the_o scripture_n have_v be_v interpret_v that_o be_v of_o concernment_n to_o salvation_n but_o whether_o it_o may_v enter_v into_o the_o heart_n of_o any_o that_o be_v rich_a to_o be_v stir_v up_o to_o print_v the_o same_o or_o whether_o the_o power_n of_o the_o nation_n may_v permit_v it_o we_o leave_v to_o providence_n but_o before_o i_o conclude_v it_o be_v requisite_a to_o give_v you_o a_o account_n of_o the_o prophet_n death_n and_o burial_n which_o be_v thus_o upon_o the_o first_o of_o march_n 1697._o the_o prophet_n be_v take_v with_o a_o illness_n and_o weakness_n upon_o which_o he_o say_v these_o word_n now_o have_v god_n send_v death_n unto_o i_o and_o present_o after_o be_v help_v to_o bed_n and_o though_o he_o keep_v his_o bed_n yet_o we_o can_v not_o perceive_v that_o he_o be_v sick_a only_o weak_a and_o he_o lay_v as_o if_o he_o sleep_v but_o in_o such_o quietness_n as_o if_o

weigh_v it_o in_o my_o mind_n and_o be_v loath_a to_o forsake_v it_o 16._o then_o i_o consider_v my_o soul_n be_v of_o more_o value_n and_o what_o will_v it_o avail_v i_o to_o be_v rich_a in_o this_o

all_o people_n do_v at_o that_o time_n 17._o and_o after_o much_o struggle_a in_o my_o mind_n i_o come_v to_o this_o resolution_n in_o myself_o that_o rather_o than_o i_o will_v loose_v my_o soul_n or_o be_v damn_v to_o eternity_n i_o will_v loose_v the_o maid_n and_o that_o way_n that_o will_v have_v make_v i_o rich_a and_o that_o i_o will_v be_v zealous_a of_o the_o law_n of_o god_n as_o

the_o day_n of_o my_o ignorance_n for_o zeal_n to_o the_o law_n of_o god_n which_o i_o think_v to_o be_v truth_n and_o the_o true_a way_n and_o so_o it_o be_v 23._o but_o i_o do_v not_o know_v it_o till_o many_o year_n after_o but_o the_o lord_n god_n of_o truth_n have_v respect_n unto_o my_o person_n and_o zeal_n at_o that_o time_n and_o prevent_v i_o from_o fall_v into_o that_o snare_n of_o

the_o puritan_n religion_n 1._o so_o after_o i_o have_v part_v with_o the_o maid_n and_o that_o way_n that_o do_v offend_v my_o conscience_n i_o be_v resolve_v to_o live_v so_o upright_o to_o the_o

i_o be_v full_o possess_v that_o there_o be_v real_o salvation_n to_o be_v attain_v unto_o by_o my_o righteousness_n and_o that_o there_o be_v a_o real_a damnation_n to_o all_o those_o that_o be_v

while_n i_o do_v suppose_v my_o soul_n may_v go_v into_o hell_n without_o a_o body_n and_o that_o million_o of_o soul_n be_v in_o hellfire_n without_o body_n and_o that_o the_o devil_n be_v a_o bodily_a spirit_n do_v torment_v those_o soul_n that_o come_v there_o and_o that_o the_o devil_n have_v liberty_n to_o come_v out_o of_o hell_n to_o tempt_v people_n here_o on_o earth_n and_o go_v there_o again_o but_o no_o soul_n that_o he_o have_v get_v there_o can_v come_v out_o of_o hell_n more_o 6._o these_o thing_n wrought_v in_o my_o mind_n exceed_v great_a fear_n and_o stir_v i_o up_o to_o a_o more_o exceed_a righteousness_n of_o life_n think_v thereby_o that_o my_o righteous_a life_n will_v have_v cast_v out_o those_o torment_a fear_n but_o it_o do_v not_o 7._o yet_o notwithstanding_o i_o do_v continue_v in_o my_o zeal_n and_o be_v earnest_a in_o the_o puritan_n religion_n and_o practice_n neither_o do_v i_o know_v how_o to_o find_v rest_v any_o where_o else_o neither_o do_v i_o hear_v any_o preach_v in_o those_o day_n but_o the_o puritan_n minister_n who_o hair_n be_v cut_v short_a 8._o for_o if_o a_o man_n with_o long_a hair_n have_v go_v into_o the_o

zealous_a of_o outward_a appearance_n and_o of_o outward_a behaviour_n for_o we_o mind_v that_o more_o than_o their_o doctrine_n 10._o for_o we_o take_v it_o for_o grant_v that_o god_n be_v a_o spirit_n without_o a_o body_n and_o that_o christ_n jesus_n his_o son_n have_v a_o body_n in_o form_n like_o man_n and_o that_o he_o do_v mediate_v to_o god_n his_o father_n who_o be_v a_o spirit_n without_o a_o body_n and_o that_o for_o christ_n sake_n this_o spirit_n without_o a_o body_n do_v hear_v we_o and_o speak_v peace_n unto_o we_o 11._o also_o i_o believe_v that_o the_o devil_n be_v a_o

not_o think_v that_o these_o thought_n and_o motion_n do_v arise_v out_o of_o man_n own_o heart_n but_o from_o a_o devil_n a_o spirit_n without_o a_o body_n without_o man._n 12._o also_o i_o think_v those_o soul_n which_o god_n do_v save_o be_v carry_v up_o to_o heaven_n without_o body_n and_o shall_v be_v with_o god_n who_o be_v a_o spirit_n without_o a_o body_n and_o that_o we_o shall_v see_v

together_o again_o 13._o also_o we_o do_v believe_v that_o the_o wicked_a spirit_n shall_v be_v cast_v into_o hell_n fire_n without_o body_n where_o the_o devil_n and_o his_o angel_n be_v spirit_n without_o body_n shall_v torment_n the_o soul_n of_o the_o wicked_a till_o the_o day_n of_o resurrection_n and_o then_o those_o wicked_a soul_n shall_v be_v unite_v to_o their_o body_n again_o and_o be_v torment_v body_n and_o soul_n together_o with_o the_o devil_n and_o his_o angel_n who_o be_v spirit_n without_o body_n in_o hell_n fire_n for_o ever_o and_o ever_o 14._o and_o we_o do_v believe_v that_o the_o angel_n of_o god_n be_v minister_a spirit_n without_o body_n as_o god_n be_v a_o spirit_n without_o a_o body_n so_o be_v they_o and_o can_v minister_v comfort_n unto_o man_n without_o body_n 15._o and_o we_o do_v believe_v our_o own_o soul_n to_o be_v immortal_a and_o can_v not_o die_v but_o do_v subsist_v the_o good_a spirit_n with_o god_n in_o heaven_n without_o body_n and_o the_o wicked_a soul_n do_v subsist_v in_o hell_n without_o body_n 16._o these_o be_v some_o of_o the_o fundamental_a principle_n of_o faith_n and_o religion_n we_o zealous_a puritan_n do_v believe_v and_o practice_n and_o there_o be_v no_o better_a faith_n in_o the_o world_n to_o this_o day_n in_o the_o generality_n of_o professor_n of_o religion_n 17._o these_o thing_n be_v i_o very_o well_o verse_v in_o and_o i_o grow_v in_o great_a experience_n and_o knowledge_n in_o the_o letter_n of_o the_o scripture_n and_o have_v a_o good_a gift_n of_o prayer_n and_o be_v very_o strong_a in_o dispute_n because_o my_o mind_n be_v extreme_o perplex_v with_o the_o fear_n of_o hell_n notwithstanding_o my_o exact_a life_n to_o the_o letter_n of_o the_o law_n 18._o but_o the_o fear_n of_o hell_n wrought_v in_o i_o much_o experience_n so_o that_o i_o do_v exceed_v several_a other_o man_n in_o that_o knowledge_n which_o be_v in_o those_o day_n and_o though_o i_o be_v judge_v a_o very_a godly_a knowing-man_n and_o a_o happy_a man_n by_o other_o yet_o i_o can_v not_o judge_v so_o of_o myself_o but_o the_o fear_n of_o hell_n be_v oft_o rise_v up_o in_o i_o 19_o for_o i_o never_o conceit_a well_o of_o my_o own_o knowledge_n but_o think_v the_o knowledge_n of_o other_o man_n do_v far_o exceed_v i_o because_o they_o seem_v to_o be_v better_o satisfy_v in_o their_o mind_n than_o i_o be_v 20._o yet_o i_o think_v in_o myself_o that_o in_o time_n by_o my_o prayer_n and_o righteousness_n and_o exact_a walk_v and_o hear_v of_o preach_v that_o i_o may_v heal_v that_o wound_n in_o my_o
