of_o his_o charge_n wherein_o be_v conduct_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n he_o know_v he_o have_v go_v right_o as_o he_o say_v in_o another_o place_n 2_o cor._n 1.12_o this_o be_v now_o the_o testimony_n of_o our_o conscience_n that_o in_o simplicity_n and_o sincerity_n and_o not_o in_o carnal_a wisdom_n but_o according_a to_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n we_o have_v converse_v with_o the_o
