for_o the_o recovery_n of_o such_o who_o in_o their_o simplicity_n have_v be_v turn_v aside_o and_o though_o some_o may_v think_v that_o they_o be_v get_v above_o the_o assembly_n of_o the_o

long_a life_n and_o the_o love_n which_o be_v in_o the_o light_n where_o the_o righteous_a have_v their_o fellowship_n it_o will_v remain_v when_o all_o the_o pretend_a universal_a love_n be_v go_v for_o the_o love_n which_o be_v universal_a be_v in_o god_n and_o that_o love_n be_v pure_a and_o can_v join_v to_o any_o impure_a thing_n to_o have_v unity_n or_o fellowship_n with_o it_o for_o if_o it_o be_v so_o then_o there_o be_v no_o distinction_n between_o righteousness_n and_o unrighteousness_n but_o there_o be_v a_o distinction_n for_o as_o much_o as_o righteousness_n be_v always_o justify_v and_o unrighteousness_n always_o condemn_v and_o so_o it_o be_v as_o possible_a to_o join_v the_o east_n and_o west_n together_o as_o to_o join_v righteousness_n and_o unrighteousness_n in_o unity_n and_o fellowship_n and_o who_o walk_v in_o the_o light_n in_o which_o be_v the_o universal_a love_n of_o god_n they_o can_v have_v fellowship_n with_o the_o unfruitful_a work_n of_o darkness_n but_o be_v make_v to_o reprove_v they_o and_o so_o the_o light_n be_v the_o same_o now_o as_o in_o the_o apostle_n day_n and_o they_o that_o live_v in_o it_o be_v of_o the_o same_o mind_n as_o they_o be_v and_o they_o can_v not_o have_v fellowship_n with_o unfruitful_a work_n of_o darkness_n but_o reprove_v they_o and_o the_o apostle_n be_v in_o the_o universal_a love_n of_o god_n and_o god_n never_o love_v esau_n therefore_o all_o such_o have_v need_n consider_v what_o they_o be_v go_v from_o and_o what_o they_o be_v join_v unto_o lest_o they_o so_o long_o withstand_v the_o lord_n until_o the_o day_n of_o visitation_n pass_v over_o for_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o all_o such_o as_o have_v forsake_v the_o assembly_n of_o the_o righteous_a and_o disesteeme_v or_o rather_o dispise_v the_o ministration_n of_o the_o gospel_n that_o they_o have_v fill_v themselves_o with_o high_a imagination_n &_o surfeit_n with_o their_o own_o fullness_n and_o so_o they_o joath_v the_o life_n and_o virtue_n which_o be_v sweet_a than_o the_o honey_n comb_n and_o with_o their_o own_o fullness_n they_o grow_v wanton_a and_o make_v themselves_o merry_a above_o the_o witness_n and_o so_o with_o the_o flesh_n be_v commit_v whoredom_n and_o uncleanness_n but_o that_o which_o be_v beget_v in_o a_o unlawful_a bed_n must_v not_o inherit_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n that_o birth_n be_v not_o the_o

into_o that_o ground_n and_o there_o be_v none_o can_v partake_v of_o their_o goodly_a heritage_n but_o who_o be_v bear_v of_o the_o same_o life_n for_o those_o that_o be_v full_a and_o wanton_a and_o in_o their_o fullness_n and_o wontonness_n join_v to_o a_o harlot_n they_o have_v no_o part_n in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n and_o of_o christ_n but_o as_o they_o sow_v to_o the_o flesh_n so_o of_o the_o flesh_n they_o must_v reap_v corruption_n and_o this_o be_v a_o grief_n unto_o the_o righteous_a that_o any_o who_o have_v a_o beginning_n in_o the_o light_n and_o spirit_n shall_v go_v back_o again_o into_o the_o flesh_n and_o in_o that_o state_n to_o think_v they_o be_v perfect_a and_o that_o their_o perfection_n be_v of_o a_o high_a degree_n than_o those_o who_o keep_v in_o the_o light_n and_o spirit_n where_o they_o do_v begin_v for_o that_o measure_n of_o light_n and_o spirit_n which_o be_v first_o manifest_v from_o god_n to_o spread_v abroad_o his_o truth_n in_o this_o day_n it_o
