such_o condition_n and_o after_o the_o forego_n consideration_n concern_v judgement_n out_o of_o what_o it_o shall_v and_o in_o what_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v towards_o every_o tender_a conscience_n i_o have_v yet_o to_o speak_v forth_o a_o word_n of_o experience_n as_o one_o which_o through_o suffering_n and_o great_a suffering_n have_v attain_v to_o the_o experience_n of_o it_o which_o because_o i_o have_v wade_v through_o two_o sea_n of_o oppressive_a affliction_n and_o travel_v through_o two_o land_n of_o tribulation_n i_o may_v be_v a_o little_a lissen_v unto_o by_o some_o of_o the_o little_a one_o which_o be_v willing_a and_o faithful_a follower_n of_o the_o lamb_n whithersoever_o he_o go_v who_o through_o suffering_n overcome_v all_o thing_n wherefore_o to_o such_o i_o say_v i_o have_v see_v three_o brethren_n of_o the_o house_n and_o tribe_n of_o israel_n of_o three_o judgement_n concern_v one_o case_n and_o very_o frequent_o six_o of_o their_o family_n three_o of_o they_o of_o one_o judgement_n and_o three_o of_o they_o of_o another_o judgement_n touch_v one_o case_n and_o because_o of_o the_o oppositness_n of_o their_o judgement_n both_o hold_v in_o a_o certain_a strong_a zeal_n have_v have_v hard_a thought_n one_o of_o another_o and_o then_o i_o have_v see_v a_o seven_o soul_n that_o righteous_o say_v that_o neither_o of_o their_o judgement_n be_v find_v in_o god_n eternal_a word_n and_o then_o the_o say_v seven_o soul_n utter_v word_n in_o the_o spirit_n be_v life_n say_v i_o see_v a_o even_o plain_a path_n between_o those_o two_o in_o which_o be_v write_v viz._n patience_n humility_n moderation_n and_o charity_n can_v judge_v the_o case_n in_o equity_n and_o the_o seven_o soul_n also_o see_v the_o infirmity_n of_o the_o other_o six_o in_o their_o hard_a thought_n of_o the_o three_o against_o three_o yet_o have_v that_o charity_n to_o pity_v they_o because_o of_o infirmity_n so_o that_o that_o soul_n can_v not_o therefore_o judge_v and_o condemn_v any_o of_o they_o for_o the_o cause_n that_o their_o being_n be_v real_o of_o god_n in_o several_a dispensation_n for_o which_o there_o be_v a_o zeal_n more_o in_o the_o passionate_a part_n than_o the_o pure_a temperate_a love_n so_o that_o though_o the_o simple_a sentence_n of_o the_o case_n by_o each_o of_o they_o may_v be_v true_a in_o themselves_o according_a to_o the_o dispensation_n that_o they_o be_v in_o whereby_o they_o sin_v not_o but_o suffer_v by_o the_o inordinate_a or_o somewhat_o incomposed_a zeal_n not_o be_v so_o full_o in_o the_o love_n which_o give_v the_o sound_a knowledge_n yet_o as_o the_o case_n stand_v in_o another_o soul_n in_o another_o dispensation_n that_o be_v weighty_a and_o absolute_o true_a in_o god_n the_o discoverer_n of_o the_o good_a neither_o of_o both_o the_o other_o judgement_n can_v reach_v unto_o it_o righteous_o to_o justify_v or_o condemn_v it_o and_o therefore_o in_o such_o case_n i_o be_o teach_v fear_n lest_o i_o shall_v err_v in_o seek_v to_o wrest_v other_o man_n conscience_n i_o may_v also_o stand_v forth_o in_o a_o enquiry_n say_v what_o be_v it_o of_o god_n that_o may_v appear_v new_a fresh_a and_o live_v in_o man_n but_o that_o enemy_n to_o god_n which_o can_v comprehend_v it_o will_v give_v sundry_a verdict_n concern_v it_o or_o that_o many_o child_n be_v some_o weak_a in_o themselves_o other_o bias_v by_o some_o certain_a other_o man_n opinion_n other_o tinctured_a with_o some_o secret_a drop_n of_o prejudice_n in_o the_o more_o internal_a part_n but_o also_o in_o the_o like_a case_n will_v judge_v amiss_o concern_v it_o and_z as_o different_z and_o divers_a as_o the_o other_o which_o know_v not_o god_n by_o which_o through_o suffering_n i_o be_o teach_v the_o fear_n of_o god_n not_o to_o exalt_v myself_o as_o king_n or_o lord_n in_o another_o man_n conscience_n but_o do_v leave_v that_o to_o god_n as_o his_o throne_n and_o proper_a seat_n to_o rule_v in_o and_o this_o also_o make_v my_o soul_n tender_a towards_o all_o tender_a conscience_n because_o i_o see_v a_o life_n in_o god_n which_o i_o be_o sure_a be_v unspeakable_o beyond_o that_o which_o in_o i_o be_v already_o wrought_v by_o god_n and_o yet_o i_o call_v this_o good_a where_o i_o be_o be_v what_o i_o be_o make_v by_o the_o pure_a everlasting_a power_n of_o god_n and_o whosoever_o be_v in_o such_o a_o life_n as_o be_v mention_v to_o be_v beyond_o i_o i_o will_v not_o that_o he_o shall_v judge_v and_o condemn_v i_o be_v in_o the_o place_n though_o but_o a_o low_a place_n where_o the_o lord_n of_o his_o love_n and_o mercy_n have_v put_v i_o and_o therefore_o will_v not_o willing_o do_v that_o to_o any_o one_o which_o i_o will_v not_o another_o shall_v do_v unto_o i_o now_o dear_a child_n my_o eye_n

for_o suffer_v it_o all_o to_o work_v for_o my_o good_a insomuch_o that_o i_o can_v say_v he_o have_v begin_v his_o work_n of_o charity_n in_o my_o soul_n have_v also_o give_v i_o to_o see_v that_o yesterday_o i_o do_v the_o thing_n in_o righteousness_n in_o which_o i_o be_v then_o justify_v of_o he_o which_o i_o shall_v be_v ashamed_a before_o he_o to_o do_v the_o like_a to_o day_n and_o i_o
