my_o spiritual_a condition_n he_o will_v have_v trouble_v i_o with_o three_o thing_n as_o he_o do_v christ_n by_o query_n first_o how_o i_o know_v that_o i_o be_v a_o child_n of_o god_n and_o second_o

satan_n persuade_v i_o that_o i_o lie_v under_o the_o guilt_n of_o some_o sin_n that_o be_v not_o pardon_v my_o answer_n be_v to_o the_o first_o i_o know_v i_o be_v a_o child_n of_o god_n by_o his_o

so_o satan_n objection_n be_v full_o answer_v and_o i_o abundandly_a deliver_v another_o temptation_n be_v about_o the_o time_n of_o god_n take_v away_o my_o near_a relation_n which_o be_v a_o

as_o soon_o as_o i_o see_v it_o be_v a_o temptation_n i_o set_v myself_o to_o seek_v god_n against_o it_o and_o i_o have_v this_o answer_n from_o god_n after_o a_o few_o thought_n in_o seek_v that_o the_o lord_n will_v rebuke_v the_o devourer_n for_o my_o body_n sake_n and_o from_o this_o scripture_n that_o the_o god_n of_o satan_n will_v bruise_v satan_n under_o my_o foot_n short_o and_o for_o my_o sister_n condition_n and_o the_o manner_n of_o her_o death_n god_n give_v this_o word_n be_v thy_o eye_n evil_a because_o i_o be_v good_a shall_v i_o not_o do_v with_o my_o own_o what_o i_o will_v aye_o say_v my_o soul_n if_o she_o be_v he_o i_o can_v be_v the_o better_o persuade_v to_o give_v she_o up_o to_o god_n then_o god_n tell_v i_o he_o look_v not_o as_o man_n look_v but_o if_o there_o be_v any_o work_n of_o god_n he_o will_v own_v his_o own_o work_n but_o however_o he_o cause_v i_o to_o leave_v she_o sovereignty_n her_o stoop_v to_o god_n sovereignty_n to_o his_o

her_o care_n to_o honour_v her_o parent_n in_o what_o she_o may_v with_o security_n to_o her_o conscience_n encourage_v i_o in_o that_o way_n my_o father_n and_o mother_n command_v i_o to_o go_v one_o way_n to_o hear_v and_o i_o be_v put_v upon_o it_o to_o go_v another_o way_n for_o which_o they_o be_v very_o fierce_a and_o violent_a the_o lord_n be_v please_v to_o put_v i_o upon_o it_o to_o

then_o i_o begin_v to_o think_v what_o honour_n be_v due_a to_o they_o be_v desirous_a to_o give_v they_o that_o honour_n that_o i_o be_v command_v if_o they_o command_v with_o god_n i_o be_v ready_a

the_o word_n and_o god_n meet_v i_o there_o in_o such_o a_o way_n that_o he_o give_v i_o encouragement_n to_o go_v through_o opposition_n and_o difficulty_n in_o time_n to_o come_v whatever_o i_o
