the_o same_o spirit_n do_v not_o high_o work_v in_o you_o at_o this_o time_n another_o way_n the_o lord_n give_v you_o understanding_n in_o all_o thing_n but_o if_o her_o life_n be_v not_o that_o which_o you_o aim_v at_o then_o be_v it_o these_o divine_a discovery_n of_o life_n and_o light_n which_o god_n make_v out_o to_o the_o world_n by_o she_o if_o it_o be_v so_o than_o you_o be_v to_o know_v that_o he_o be_v too_o strong_a you_o strive_v with_o but_o about_o this_o i_o will_v a_o little_a quere_z first_o whether_o do_v you_o think_v that_o because_o such_o evil_n be_v manifest_a in_o she_o when_o with_o you_o therefore_o it_o be_v impossible_a now_o that_o any_o good_a shall_v be_v bring_v forth_o by_o she_o do_v you_o not_o hope_v to_o grow_v better_a and_o better_o but_o second_o be_v it_o not_o god_n usual_a way_n to_o manifest_v himself_o there_o high_v where_o in_o time_n pass_v he_o be_v by_o the_o evil_a spirit_n keep_v low_a yea_o do_v he_o not_o suffer_v himself_o for_o this_o very_a end_n many_o time_n thus_o to_o die_v in_o appearance_n and_o to_o leave_v a_o soul_n to_o itself_o that_o so_o it_o may_v see_v what_o it_o be_v in_o itself_o and_o so_o learn_v to_o die_v to_o itself_o that_o so_o he_o may_v have_v the_o more_o glorious_a resurrection_n in_o that_o soul_n i_o beseech_v you_o for_o the_o lord_n sake_n to_o consider_v these_o thing_n as_o for_o her_o outward_a person_n i_o conceive_v she_o care_v as_o little_a for_o it_o as_o you_o can_v therefore_o you_o may_v take_v your_o fill_n of_o trample_v on_o it_o but_o i_o beseech_v you_o be_v careful_a how_o you_o meddle_v with_o the_o spirit_n that_o breathe_v in_o she_o for_o sure_o brethren_n i_o know_v not_o what_o spirit_n manifest_v itself_o in_o her_o while_n with_o you_o i_o be_o sure_a and_o i_o speak_v nothing_o but_o the_o truth_n that_o i_o have_v find_v a_o most_o divine_a spirit_n in_o she_o as_o far_o as_o i_o can_v discern_v and_o that_o which_o come_v to_o the_o spirit_n and_o life_n of_o thing_n and_o in_o this_o methinks_v you_o shall_v rejoice_v for_o true_o i_o have_v hear_v many_o professor_n and_o profession_n but_o to_o my_o knowledge_n i_o never_o hear_v one_o come_v so_o near_o the_o power_n i_o do_v not_o speak_v this_o as_o be_v affect_v with_o any_o person_n party_n or_o opinion_n i_o bless_v my_o god_n i_o be_o now_o in_o his_o strength_n deliver_v from_o that_o though_o some_o have_v false_o affirm_v my_o be_v delude_v by_o she_o but_o i_o be_o confident_a i_o can_v say_v with_o paul_n and_o that_o not_o only_o repeat_v the_o letter_n but_o in_o truth_n that_o those_o thing_n which_o i_o have_v receive_v have_v not_o be_v from_o man_n nor_o woman_n nor_o any_o other_o thing_n but_o by_o the_o mere_a revelation_n of_o

speak_v a_o lie_n of_o that_o god_n that_o do_v it_o for_o i_o and_o because_o i_o hear_v it_o so_o report_v among_o you_o i_o think_v good_a to_o write_v one_o word_n to_o clear_v it_o that_o so_o whether_o you_o will_v hear_v or_o whether_o you_o will_v forbear_v the_o word_n of_o truth_n may_v judge_v you_o give_v not_o ear_n therefore_o to_o all_o you_o hear_v though_o from_o brethren_n lest_o you_o be_v bring_v into_o a_o snare_n for_o since_o the_o defection_n of_o the_o church_n man_n yea_o good_a man_n have_v be_v such_o lover_n of_o themselves_o and_o their_o own_o opinion_n
