A90389	An eccho from the great deep: containing further inward openings, concerning divers other things, upon some whereof the principles and practises of the mad folks do much depend. As also the life, hope, safety and happiness of the seed of God, is pointed at; which through many dark, dismall, untrodden paths and passages (as particularly through an unthought of death and captivity) they shall at length be led unto. / Through Isaac Pennington (junior) Esq;.

the_o heart_n of_o the_o people_n of_o christ_n leap_v at_o the_o sight_n of_o christ_n who_o be_v their_o full_a and_o only_a joy_n and_o if_o he_o remain_v always_o with_o they_o as_o he_o then_o will_v their_o joy_n can_v never_o be_v take_v from_o they_o more_o be_v quiet_a therefore_o be_v patient_a wait_v but_o till_o this_o time_n till_o the_o lord_n come_v and_o you_o will_v find_v amends_o make_v for_o all_o your_o misery_n then_o you_o be_v to_o have_v your_o happiness_n than_o you_o be_v to_o reap_v and_o enjoy_v and_o you_o shall_v reap_v and_o enjoy_v that_o which_o will_v give_v you_o full_a content_n if_o you_o can_v but_o stay_v your_o time_n but_o before_o the_o come_n of_o the_o lord_n expect_v it_o not_o if_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n you_o may_v have_v but_o so_o much_o of_o the_o spirit_n allow_v you_o as_o may_v help_v you_o to_o rub_v on_o as_o may_v keep_v you_o from_o sink_v under_o your_o burden_n and_o misery_n it_o be_v well_o but_o as_o for_o any_o

mourn_v over_o the_o loss_n of_o all_o when_o the_o world_n shall_v lose_v all_o their_o life_n all_o their_o substance_n all_o their_o hope_n all_o their_o joy_n then_o shall_v you_o enter_v into_o the_o possession_n of_o you_o which_o shall_v be_v as_o full_a &_o as_o last_v as_o your_o heart_n can_v desire_v be_v patient_a therefore_o be_v content_a to_o be_v without_o it_o a_o while_n and_o to_o feel_v misery_n and_o anguish_n under_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o want_n of_o it_o you_o now_o therefore_o have_v sorrow_n you_o must_v sow_v in_o tear_n before_o you_o reap_v in_o joy_n and_o
