that_o many_o time_n through_o the_o evil_a practice_n of_o some_o the_o way_n of_o truth_n be_v evil_a speak_v of_o and_o although_o they_o have_v a_o form_n of_o godliness_n yet_o be_v their_o heart_n unsanctified_a therefore_o watch_v all_o that_o you_o be_v not_o overcome_v i_o say_v unto_o you_o all_o watch_n that_o you_o may_v not_o be_v overcome_v and_o when_o you_o feel_v any_o thing_n rise_v in_o you_o against_o another_o because_o as_o you_o think_v he_o do_v not_o respect_v you_o as_o he_o ought_v to_o do_v take_v heed_n that_o that_o prevail_v not_o over_o you_o for_o if_o it_o do_v then_o from_o thence_o as_o a_o stream_n will_v evil_a thought_n prejudice_n and_o have_v surmising_n against_o other_o flow_v forth_o until_o you_o be_v consume_v in_o it_o therefore_o be_v sure_a to_o watch_v against_o that_o part_n in_o you_o which_o will_v rise_v up_o in_o prejudice_n and_o evil_a thought_n that_o the_o simplicity_n of_o the_o gospel_n may_v abound_v in_o you_o in_o that_o in_o meekness_n and_o long_a suffering_n to_o bear_v that_o they_o who_o walk_v otherwise_o may_v be_v ashamed_a for_o many_o there_o be_v who_o surmise_n evil_a and_o conceive_v prejudice_n in_o their_o heart_n against_o other_o without_o a_o cause_n and_o this_o be_v a_o curse_a thing_n therefore_o every_o one_o watch_n that_o your_o heart_n may_v be_v keep_v from_o be_v overcome_v with_o it_o and_o you_o that_o have_v attain_v to_o a_o measure_n of_o stability_n let_v the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o almighty_a be_v your_o guide_n that_o you_o may_v cherish_v the_o faint_a and_o help_v the_o needy_a encourage_v the_o tender_a and_o they_o that_o be_v weak_a let_v your_o tenderness_n in_o staidness_n wisdom_n and_o gravity_n appear_v unto_o they_o for_o a_o friendly_a behaviour_n cherish_v the_o simple_a comforteh_o the_o weak_a and_o encourage_v they_o who_o be_v of_o a_o faint_a heart_n when_o a_o strange_a and_o stern_a carriage_n may_v discourage_v oppress_v and_o in_o some_o beget_v prejudice_n but_o have_v not_o familiarity_n without_o the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n as_o many_o have_v to_o the_o give_a liberty_n to_o vanity_n or_o to_o the_o let_v up_o of_o a_o light_a spirit_n in_o any_o or_o to_o the_o let_v in_o of_o a_o unclean_a spirit_n over_o you_o either_o so_o to_o become_v your_o burden_n or_o otherwise_o to_o captivate_v your_o heart_n into_o evil_n as_o it_o have_v be_v with_o many_o who_o for_o want_n of_o the_o watch_n to_o the_o light_n to_o be_v guide_v by_o the_o true_a wisdom_n have_v be_v familiar_a with_o unclean_a spirit_n and_o have_v be_v defile_v with_o they_o but_o be_v you_o pattern_n of_o righteousness_n holiness_n and_o purity_n by_o your_o wise_a walk_v in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n in_o all_o your_o conversation_n and_o walk_v in_o love_n towards_o all_o man_n in_o wisdom_n and_o fear_n and_o towards_o they_o who_o have_v receive_v the_o testimony_n of_o truth_n let_v the_o manifestation_n of_o your_o love_n be_v such_o that_o nothing_o in_o they_o thereby_o may_v be_v raise_v up_o to_o expect_v that_o from_o you_o which_o you_o intend_v not_o towards_o they_o which_o they_o ought_v not_o to_o except_v from_o you_o for_o thus_o many_o have_v be_v snare_v and_o have_v fall_v that_o when_o love_n in_o familiarity_n have_v be_v manifest_v to_o they_o the_o contrary_a part_n in_o they_o thereby_o have_v take_v occasion_n to_o look_v out_o after_o and_o to_o except_v that_o which_o be_v not_o intend_v towards_o they_o so_o the_o wrong_a desire_n and_o expectation_n be_v raise_v become_v a_o snare_n to_o the_o soul_n therefore_o in_o the_o true_a fear_n wisdom_n and_o discern_a let_v your_o love_n be_v manifest_v that_o all_o occasion_n of_o evil_n may_v be_v avoid_v and_o when_o any_o of_o you_o feel_v any_o thing_n rise_v in_o you_o that_o be_v discontent_v at_o any_o time_n because_o another_o as_o you_o may_v think_v be_v esteem_v above_o you_o watch_v against_o that_o for_o that_o be_v cain_n nature_n by_o which_o the_o world_n be_v guide_v who_o seek_v every_o one_o to_o be_v great_a and_o if_o that_o get_v dominion_n in_o your_o heart_n than_o envy_n and_o emulation_n which_o proceed_v thereout_o will_v lodge_v within_o you_o and_o that_o will_v break_v your_o unity_n with_o god_n and_o his_o people_n and_o cause_v swift_a destruction_n to_o come_v upon_o you_o therefore_o watch_v that_o through_o the_o power_n of_o god_n spirit_n work_v in_o you_o that_o nature_n may_v be_v utter_o destroy_v and_o root_v out_o that_o you_o may_v be_v content_a to_o be_v esteem_v the_o least_o and_o whatever_o man_n esteem_v you_o to_o be_v whatever_o man_n he_o may_v be_v your_o peace_n may_v abide_v in_o this_o that_o you_o know_v that_o you_o be_v esteem_v by_o the_o lord_n and_o when_o any_o of_o you_o feel_v any_o thing_n that_o desire_v fleshly_a liberty_n keep_v that_o down_o and_o let_v the_o fear_n of_o god_n possess_v your_o heart_n for_o if_o that_o be_v give_v way_n unto_o in_o one_o thing_n it_o thereby_o recover_v strength_n to_o prevail_v over_o you_o to_o lead_v you_o to_o another_o and_o this_o it_o will_v do_v until_o it_o have_v estrange_v you_o from_o god_n spirit_n and_o have_v make_v you_o to_o be_v as_o other_o man_n child_n of_o wrath_n and_o condemnation_n therefore_o in_o the_o light_a watch_n against_o it_o and_o give_v no_o liberty_n to_o the_o lust_n of_o the_o flesh_n but_o let_v that_o be_v through_o god_n spirit_n crucify_v in_o you_o that_o your_o liberty_n may_v stand_v in_o the_o eternal_a kingdom_n of_o god_n and_o if_o there_o

of_o that_o spirit_n and_o if_o that_o prevail_v over_o you_o it_o will_v destroy_v your_o peace_n with_o god_n and_o break_v your_o unity_n with_o his_o people_n and_o although_o you_o may_v deny_v to_o act_v outward_o against_o your_o enemy_n yet_o if_o such_o a_o spirit_n have_v place_n in_o you_o which_o do_v desire_v the_o destruction_n of_o their_o person_n that_o will_v become_v a_o snare_n unto_o your_o soul_n except_o in_o the_o light_n and_o power_n of_o god_n you_o wait_v that_o thereby_o it_o may_v be_v overcome_v that_o you_o may_v true_o know_v what_o it_o be_v and_o also_o do_v it_o to_o love_v your_o enemy_n to_o bless_v they_o that_o curse_v you_o and_o to_o pray_v for_o they_o that_o despiteful_o use_v you_o and_o in_o so_o do_v you_o will_v heap_v coal_n of_o

you_o will_v destroy_v your_o own_o peace_n and_o the_o lord_n will_v not_o regard_v you_o and_o all_o friend_n take_v heed_n that_o you_o be_v not_o fill_v with_o the_o care_n of_o this_o life_n to_o
