that_o whensoever_o god_n do_v depart_v from_o any_o authority_n power_n or_o people_n god_n do_v first_o take_v away_o the_o heart_n of_o his_o people_n from_o they_o that_o they_o neither_o

show_v himself_o more_o gracious_a to_o this_o land_n in_o external_o since_o you_o have_v appear_v and_o act_v for_o he_o of_o late_a so_o impartiallie_o and_o courageous_o however_o some_o as_o the_o prophet_n speak_v will_v not_o see_v the_o hand_n of_o the_o lord_n that_o be_v so_o evident_o lift_v up_o 62.11_o esa_n 62.11_o 5_o and_o last_o this_o be_v a_o sure_a sign_n that_o the_o lord_n be_v yet_o with_o you_o because_o you_o have_v decreeed_o and_o don_v nothing_o against_o the_o saint_n of_o god_n nor_o impose_v any_o thing_n upon_o their_o conscience_n though_o you_o have_v be_v frequent_o move_v thereto_o remember_v still_o those_o many_o sermon_n that_o you_o have_v have_v to_o stir_v you_o up_o to_o be_v kind_a to_o the_o lord_n little_a one_o they_o be_v as_o you_o

who_o peradventure_o can_v subscribe_v and_o submit_v to_o your_o power_n and_o authority_n favour_v they_o and_o be_v not_o provoke_v against_o they_o though_o some_o will_v stir_v you_o up_o

in_o the_o work_n now_o in_o our_o hand_n ans_fw-fr sure_o the_o lord_n have_v not_o put_v you_o upon_o a_o work_n that_o he_o mean_v to_o lay_v aside_o for_o it_o be_v temple-worke_n and_o such_o a_o
