must_v arise_v and_o depart_v if_o ever_o you_o come_v to_o find_v rest_n in_o christ_n and_o this_o be_v a_o truth_n which_o many_o can_v witness_v this_o day_n who_o sometime_o be_v likeminded_a

the_o lord_n who_o servant_n they_o be_v that_o no_o perfect_a unity_n or_o fellowship_n can_v be_v hold_v in_o any_o other_o principle_n and_o they_o have_v never_o deny_v fellowship_n with_o any_o that_o have_v come_v to_o their_o principle_n if_o it_o be_v in_o never_o so_o little_a a_o measure_n if_o it_o be_v in_o the_o light_n and_o truth_n they_o can_v have_v unity_n with_o they_o there_o yea_o with_o the_o weak_a breathe_v and_o low_a desire_n after_o the_o truth_n their_o soul_n have_v ever_o rejoice_v to_o meet_v with_o any_o there_o and_o their_o love_n and_o tenderness_n have_v ever_o be_v abundant_o manifest_v to_o all_o simple_a heart_v one_o though_o in_o practice_n they_o have_v lie_v different_a from_o they_o at_o present_a for_o they_o have_v fell_a to_o the_o seed_n where_o it_o have_v be_v and_o in_o tender_a compassion_n have_v ever_o be_v ready_a to_o help_v and_o relieve_v the_o distress_a but_o they_o can_v never_o speak_v peace_n to_o the_o oppression_n and_o god_n do_v abundant_o reward_v they_o for_o their_o service_n and_o labour_n of_o love_n and_o by_o the_o mighty_a power_n of_o god_n through_o their_o ministry_n many_o son_n and_o daughter_n

upon_o one_o bread_n and_o here_o the_o unity_n be_v hold_v in_o the_o spirit_n and_o it_o be_v seal_v in_o the_o bond_n of_o peace_n therefore_o feel_v the_o power_n of_o god_n in_o yourselves_o that_o your_o mind_n be_v subject_v into_o stillness_n and_o quietness_n for_o you_o be_v too_o full_a of_o business_n always_o throng_v and_o cumbr_v yourselves_o about_o many_o thing_n which_o

for_o real_o there_o be_v a_o pity_n reach_v to_o you_o and_o many_o sad_a complaint_n be_v take_v up_o for_o you_o consider_v what_o long_n and_o pant_n there_o have_v be_v in_o many_o of_o you_o after_o god_n oh_o remember_v the_o year_n past_a when_o your_o visitation_n be_v upon_o you_o and_o the_o springing_n of_o god_n love_n be_v fresh_a in_o you_o than_o be_v you_o break_v and_o melt_v

that_o have_v let_v in_o apprehension_n and_o conceiving_n of_o christ_n whether_o you_o apprehend_v he_o without_o you_o or_o within_o you_o the_o birth_n of_o his_o life_n you_o do_v not_o know_v in_o that_o state_n for_o none_o can_v compass_v his_o pure_a life_n by_o any_o apprehension_n therefore_o let_v all_o cease_v from_o their_o apprehension_n and_o conceiving_n and_o with_o the_o

in_o god_n and_o so_o by_o the_o leading_n of_o the_o spirit_n there_o be_v a_o growth_n in_o the_o truth_n and_o a_o pass_v on_o from_o one_o degree_n to_o another_o until_o the_o fullness_n be_v

may_v grow_v and_o prosper_v for_o as_o the_o truth_n be_v live_v in_o according_a to_o measure_n there_o be_v a_o growth_n to_o be_v feel_v and_o witness_v in_o it_o a_o growth_n in_o understanding_n grow_v up_o from_o child_n to_o young_a man_n and_o from_o young_a man_n to_o ancient_n and_o so_o in_o understanding_n come_v to_o be_v man_n not_o by_o apprehension_n and_o conceive_n but_o by_o

for_o it_o be_v the_o principle_n that_o make_v the_o practice_n true_a and_o not_o the_o practice_n that_o make_v the_o principle_n true_a but_o where_o the_o practice_n of_o any_o do_v whole_o

and_o the_o fruit_n be_v good_a and_o will_v not_o many_o speak_v well_o of_o the_o life_n of_o such_o as_o live_v in_o the_o practice_n of_o truth_n and_o yet_o speak_v evil_a of_o their_o

which_o be_v evil_a as_o the_o ground_n of_o its_o conception_n so_o if_o the_o life_n of_o such_o as_o be_v guide_v by_o the_o light_n do_v not_o answer_v their_o principle_n in_o all_o righteousness_n than_o people_n may_v have_v some_o cause_n to_o say_v that_o their_o principle_n be_v delusion_n and_o they_o a_o delude_a people_n but_o if_o it_o be_v so_o as_o their_o life_n do_v

such_o as_o be_v lead_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n and_o be_v manifest_v from_o the_o spirit_n as_o fruit_n of_o its_o nature_n and_o where_o it_o be_v not_o so_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n
