a_o general_n epistle_n by_o william_n dewsberry_n dear_o friend_n who_o the_o lord_n have_v in_o this_o his_o glorious_a day_n visit_v and_o in_o his_o light_n pluck_v as_o brand_v out_o of_o the_o

go_v forth_o from_o we_o that_o be_v not_o of_o we_o as_o by_o sad_a experience_n have_v be_v witness_v etc._n etc._n and_o from_o the_o deep_a sense_n of_o this_o work_n of_o the_o enemy_n i_o be_o constrain_v to_o send_v this_o epistle_n among_o you_o know_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n be_v compare_v unto_o ten_o virgin_n five_o wise_a and_o five_o foolish_a who_o have_v all_o lamp_n and_o slumber_v in_o the_o secure_a mind_n until_o they_o be_v awaken_v to_o enter_v in_o with_o their_o lord_n than_o be_v the_o foolish_a virgin_n make_v manifest_a that_o though_o they_o have_v lamp_n like_o the_o other_o yet_o want_v the_o oil_n they_o neither_o do_v or_o can_v enter_v etc._n etc._n oh_o dear_a and_o tender_a friend_n let_v all_o dread_a the_o lord_n who_o make_v mention_v of_o his_o name_n in_o the_o light_n of_o christ_n for_o this_o parable_n be_v to_o you_o unto_o who_o the_o lord_n have_v send_v to_o preach_v to_o you_o and_o in_o you_o the_o word_n of_o his_o kingdom_n and_o this_o be_v upon_o my_o spirit_n in_o the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n to_o you_o all_o convince_v of_o the_o precious_a truth_n of_o our_o god_n true_o to_o examine_v and_o search_v your_o

which_o have_v hinder_v so_o many_o from_o the_o possession_n of_o the_o life_n of_o truth_n and_o that_o you_o may_v true_o discern_v how_o the_o enemy_n draw_v into_o the_o foolish_a conceitedness_n in_o the_o outside_n and_o formal_a profession_n of_o the_o truth_n feed_v upon_o the_o know_a part_n and_o so_o stop_v the_o hunger_n that_o shall_v reach_v the_o life_n and_o then_o in_o a_o

you_o aside_o either_o to_o the_o right_a hand_n or_o to_o the_o left_a that_o whatever_o the_o lord_n have_v convince_v you_o of_o to_o be_v evil_a you_o may_v wait_v upon_o he_o for_o strength_n to_o preserve_v you_o out_o of_o it_o that_o so_o you_o may_v answer_v god_n witness_n in_o the_o regulation_n of_o your_o conversation_n in_o the_o uprightness_n of_o your_o heart_n so_o you_o may_v
