and_o such_o keep_v his_o holy_a command_n which_o be_v not_o grievous_a but_o joyous_a to_o they_o when_o the_o lord_n do_v enlarge_v their_o heart_n then_o can_v they_o run_v the_o way_n of_o his_o

of_o a_o truth_n he_o be_v good_a unto_o his_o israel_n that_o be_v of_o a_o upright_a heart_n in_o his_o sight_n and_o they_o can_v say_v of_o a_o truth_n that_o one_o day_n in_o his_o court_n be_v

to_o speak_v evil_a of_o the_o precious_a truth_n because_o of_o my_o serve_v it_o let_v they_o know_v that_o for_o this_o cause_n it_o be_v make_v know_v unto_o i_o that_o i_o may_v true_o serve_v

it_o must_v be_v know_v so_o to_o be_v before_o man_n can_v be_v fit_a to_o receive_v the_o thing_n of_o god_n and_o thus_o may_v people_n come_v to_o see_v between_o thing_n that_o differ_v and_o not_o call_v good_a evil_n and_o evil_a good_a and_o put_v darkness_n for_o light_n and_o light_n for_o darkness_n as_o too_o many_o do_v by_o which_o
will_v you_o not_o think_v it_o very_o hard_a to_o be_v so_o deal_v by_o oh_o come_v and_o be_v try_v by_o your_o own_o rule_n and_o read_v from_o the_o begin_n to_o the_o end_n and_o see_v whether_o the_o persecutor_n be_v not_o the_o false_a worshipper_n in_o all_o generation_n and_o the_o true_a one_o the_o sufferer_n and_o be_v not_o they_o as_o high_a in_o their_o wisdom_n and_o learning_n

come_v down_o you_o highminded_a persecutor_n and_o bow_v before_o the_o lord_n and_o turn_v to_o his_o witness_n in_o your_o heart_n which_o reprove_v you_o in_o secret_n and_o testify_v for_o we_o and_o it_o have_v make_v many_o of_o you_o to_o confess_v to_o our_o innocency_n and_o harmlesness_n notwithstanding_o the_o many_o false_a aspersion_n that_o the_o wicked_a have_v cast_v upon_o we_o and_o although_o we_o have_v a_o witness_n in_o your_o heart_n for_o we_o yet_o your_o mercy_n be_v still_o cruelty_n towards_o we_o oh_o do_v not_o think_v to_o hide_v yourselves_o from_o the_o

all_o flesh_n and_o my_o son_n and_o my_o daughter_n shall_v prophesy_v mark_v it_o be_v the_o son_n and_o daughter_n of_o the_o lord_n that_o be_v lead_v by_o his_o spirit_n and_o not_o the_o
