a_o love_n salutation_n to_o all_o people_n who_o have_v any_o desire_n after_o the_o live_a god_n but_o especial_o to_o the_o free-will-anabaptist_n from_o one_o that_o desire_v the_o eternal_a good_a of_o all_o soul_n i._o beevan_n friend_n as_o i_o be_v meditate_v on_o the_o way_n and_o work_n of_o the_o lord_n i_o can_v true_o say_v my_o meditation_n of_o he_o be_v sweet_a for_o now_o i_o have_v find_v he_o who_o my_o soul_n long_o thirst_v after_o in_o egypt_n land_n i_o say_v as_o i_o be_v meditate_v there_o be_v bring_v by_o the_o power_n of_o the_o lord_n a_o perfect_a remembrance_n of_o my_o sore_a travel_n in_o that_o dark_a land_n of_o bondage_n now_o praise_n praise_n to_o his_o great_a name_n for_o ever_o who_o have_v send_v redemption_n to_o israel_n and_o set_v the_o oppress_a free_a and_o break_v that_o heavy_a yoke_n and_o lay_v on_o his_o yoke_n that_o be_v easy_a and_o his_o burden_n which_o be_v light_n now_o in_o bowel_n of_o tender_a love_n to_o those_o that_o know_v i_o by_o face_n and_o name_n in_o the_o outward_a who_o have_v be_v with_o i_o in_o many_o trial_n and_o yet_o be_v rest_v there_o still_o in_o that_o which_o will_v not_o stand_v in_o the_o day_n of_o the_o lord_n power_n when_o no_o cover_n will_v serve_v but_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n now_o if_o you_o will_v but_o sink_v down_o to_o that_o which_o be_v pure_a of_o god_n and_o see_v and_o feel_v yourselves_o and_o i_o also_o and_o let_v that_o of_o god_n judge_n of_o my_o travel_n in_o egypt_n and_o the_o way_n from_o thence_o as_o the_o lord_n god_n by_o his_o mighty_a power_n shall_v give_v i_o to_o relate_v that_o the_o truth_n of_o god_n may_v flourish_v be_v the_o earnest_a desire_n of_o my_o soul_n &_o that_o he_o may_v be_v exalt_v above_o all_o therefore_o i_o shall_v relate_v a_o little_a of_o the_o long_a suffering_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o how_o unwilling_a he_o be_v that_o sinner_n shall_v perish_v and_o also_o to_o make_v know_v to_o you_o that_o it_o be_v the_o same_o god_n i_o now_o own_o that_o bring_v i_o out_o of_o my_o mother_n womb_n and_o give_v i_o life_n and_o all_o thing_n near_o about_o the_o time_n that_o i_o be_v seven_o year_n of_o age_n be_v breed_v up_o by_o my_o parent_n very_o exact_o for_o refrain_v of_o gross_a evil_n as_o swear_v and_o curse_v and_o the_o like_a i_o can_v true_o say_v that_o there_o be_v a_o great_a power_n restrain_v i_o then_o their_o word_n and_o many_o desire_n be_v raise_v up_o in_o i_o to_o know_v that_o god_n they_o talk_v of_o so_o much_o and_o so_o often_o pray_v to_o and_o when_o i_o often_o ask_v where_o he_o be_v and_o how_o he_o must_v be_v serve_v they_o say_v he_o be_v in_o heaven_n above_o the_o sky_n but_o i_o feel_v he_o near_o i_o reprove_v i_o for_o my_o play_v and_o wantonness_n as_o child_n do_v practice_n in_o that_o nature_n and_o many_o a_o vow_n i_o make_v not_o to_o do_v so_o again_o but_o my_o vow_n i_o do_v not_o keep_v until_o i_o come_v near_o to_o fourteen_o year_n of_o age_n than_o be_v the_o lord_n please_v to_o show_v his_o power_n yet_o more_o in_o reprove_v i_o for_o sport_n and_o pleasure_n to_o which_o i_o hearken_v a_o little_a &_o do_v refrain_v it_o yet_o there_o be_v something_o in_o i_o lust_v to_o see_v those_o thing_n act_v which_o i_o can_v not_o do_v myself_o then_o i_o be_v judge_v for_o that_o also_o then_o do_v i_o quite_o separate_v myself_o from_o my_o companion_n which_o reproach_v i_o but_o i_o matter_v they_o not_o and_o i_o go_v along_o with_o a_o little_a flock_n in_o leominster_n call_v puretan_o and_o many_o a_o fast_a day_n i_o keep_v very_o exact_o and_o with_o the_o sufferer_n i_o take_v part_n then_o begin_v my_o parent_n to_o hate_v i_o when_o i_o be_v get_v above_o they_o &_o i_o deny_v their_o formal_a prayer_n and_o then_o they_o grow_v worse_o and_o many_o a_o blow_n i_o receive_v upon_o that_o account_n which_o i_o bear_v patient_o and_o i_o can_v true_o say_v i_o never_o repent_v my_o go_n nor_o refrain_v until_o war_n come_v in_o england_n then_o be_v the_o flock_n of_o god_n scatter_v abroad_o as_o sheep_n without_o a_o shepherd_n and_o hunt_v about_o like_o a_o partridge_n on_o the_o mountain_n and_o many_o be_v kill_v with_o the_o sword_n and_o often_o put_v to_o the_o flight_n which_o make_v i_o and_o other_o question_n whether_o god_n have_v not_o forsake_v his_o own_o people_n because_o he_o do_v not_o deliver_v they_o out_o of_o their_o enemy_n hand_n then_o the_o enemy_n of_o the_o lord_n do_v rejoice_v both_o within_o and_o without_o as_o if_o all_o have_v be_v their_o own_o than_o the_o seed_n of_o god_n suffer_v in_o sodom_n and_o egypt_n and_o the_o two_o witness_n be_v slay_v and_o be_v make_v merry_a over_o and_o then_o the_o seed_n suffer_v and_o the_o seed_n of_o the_o serpent_n get_v on_o the_o top_n and_o lead_v i_o captive_a at_o his_o will_n now_o take_v notice_n the_o same_o light_n i_o now_o own_o not_o another_o do_v let_v i_o see_v my_o state_n that_o i_o be_v run_v into_o darkness_n and_o depart_v from_o the_o lord_n and_o be_v in_o the_o broad_a way_n which_o lead_v to_o destruction_n but_o sometime_o do_v many_o strong_a cry_n run_v through_o i_o say_v o_o that_o i_o can_v but_o see_v the_o day_n i_o once_o see_v yea_o when_o i_o have_v be_v set_v up_o myself_o in_o pride_n or_o otherwise_o i_o have_v

be_v something_o abate_v and_o lector_n be_v set_v up_o and_o i_o hear_v many_o man_n and_o they_o hold_v many_o opinion_n i_o think_v i_o be_v the_o worst_a among_o all_o for_o i_o be_v ashamed_a of_o my_o present_a estate_n however_o i_o leave_v my_o companion_n and_o then_o i_o post_v up_o and_o down_o after_o the_o most_o eminent_a man_n in_o those_o part_n for_o i_o soon_o see_v the_o

estate_n until_o i_o meet_v with_o one_o who_o name_n be_v know_v unto_o we_o by_o the_o name_n of_o james_n brown_n who_o as_o i_o understand_v die_v a_o open_a enemy_n to_o the_o same_o truth_n that_o he_o once_o declare_v and_o to_o the_o same_o light_n which_o he_o once_o bear_v testimony_n though_o this_o be_v a_o hard_a say_n but_o harken_v a_o little_a and_o consider_v you_o that_o be_v with_o i_o at_o the_o first_o in_o that_o discory_n of_o waterbaptism_n and_o feel_v what_o i_o say_v this_o man_n be_v very_o low_a and_o tender_a and_o have_v deny_v himself_o of_o all_o his_o honour_n and_o profit_n in_o the_o world_n insomuch_o that_o he_o come_v to_o a_o low_a estate_n yet_o i_o can_v not_o see_v but_o that_o he_o be_v content_v while_o he_o be_v in_o that_o condition_n can_v i_o see_v such_o a_o image_n bear_v up_o among_o you_o as_o be_v once_o in_o he_o i_o shall_v own_v it_o as_o dear_a as_o my_o life_n but_o feign_a humility_n i_o deny_v mark_v that_o and_o for_o his_o doctrine_n it_o be_v the_o very_a same_o word_n which_o the_o messenger_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v go_v forth_o with_o and_o i_o in_o my_o measure_n do_v set_v my_o seal_n to_o though_o at_o the_o first_o i_o do_v much_o oppose_v he_o but_o my_o foundation_n can_v not_o stand_v though_o get_v very_o high_a as_o concern_v the_o light_n he_o speak_v often_o of_o it_o that_o it_o be_v the_o light_n and_o life_n of_o man_n and_o that_o it_o shine_v in_o darkness_n and_o that_o it_o be_v the_o true_a light_n that_o light_v every_o one_o that_o come_v into_o the_o world_n and_o that_o the_o word_n be_v within_o the_o mouth_n and_o in_o the_o heart_n and_o that_o christ_n be_v within_o and_o he_o often_o press_v it_o to_o i_o that_o if_o christ_n be_v not_o within_o i_o i_o be_v a_o reprobate_n the_o which_o i_o do_v believe_v it_o be_v the_o truth_n and_o that_o my_o great_a enemy_n be_v within_o i_o know_v it_o be_v so_o then_o the_o serpent_n rage_v and_o then_o be_v war_n and_o rumour_n of_o war_n such_o as_o never_o be_v before_o the_o sword_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v draw_v to_o cut_v down_o all_o his_o enemy_n &_o

the_o book_n be_v open_v &_o all_o that_o ever_o i_o have_v do_v be_v lay_v before_o i_o and_o my_o good_a and_o evil_a be_v all_o judge_v i_o will_v have_v run_v any_o way_n to_o have_v hide_v

i_o will_v fain_o have_v dye_v but_o death_n flee_v from_o i_o when_o day_n appear_v i_o be_v afraid_a and_o also_o of_o the_o night_n many_o be_v the_o temptation_n to_o end_v my_o life_n but_o there_o be_v a_o secret_a power_n keep_v i_o from_o it_o and_o as_o i_o keep_v low_a i_o hear_v a_o voice_n cry_v just_a and_o righteous_a be_v the_o judgement_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o as_o i_o keep_v in_o a_o hope_n of_o deliverance_n be_v raise_v contrary_a to_o that_o serpent_n voice_n for_o he_o say_v it_o will_v never_o be_v otherwise_o so_o yet_o i_o wait_v till_o some_o prophecy_n

to_o they_o and_o zion_n be_v redeem_v through_o judgement_n as_o it_o be_v at_o this_o day_n now_o this_o be_v to_o inform_v your_o mind_n that_o no_o other_o way_n do_v i_o own_o no_o other_o
