he_o say_v that_o a_o kingdom_n be_v prepare_v yea_o he_o say_v walk_v in_o the_o light_n while_o you_o have_v the_o light_n and_o work_v while_o it_o be_v call_v to_o day_n for_o the_o night_n come_v wherein_o none_o can_v work_v yea_o the_o night_n come_v i_o say_v upon_o the_o child_n of_o the_o night_n in_o who_o the_o prince_n of_o this_o world_n rule_v where_o the_o war_n be_v and_o rumour_n of_o war_n within_o and_o without_o but_o bless_v be_v god_n there_o be_v many_o child_n of_o the_o day_n who_o can_v true_o say_v greater_n be_v he_o that_o be_v in_o we_o than_o he_o that_o be_v in_o the_o world_n and_o christ_n say_v to_o his_o follower_n if_o you_o be_v of_o the_o world_n the_o world_n will_v love_v his_o own_o but_o you_o be_v not_o of_o the_o world_n even_o as_o i_o be_o not_o of_o the_o world_n but_o i_o have_v choose_v you_o out_o of_o the_o world_n therefore_o do_v the_o world_n hate_v you_o but_o they_o hate_v i_o before_o they_o hate_v you_o and_o for_o this_o cause_n they_o hate_v i_o because_o i_o testify_v that_o the_o work_v thereof_o be_v evil_a so_o now_o consider_v what_o be_v of_o the_o world_n evil_a thought_n envy_n malice_n the_o lust_n of_o the_o flesh_n the_o lust_n of_o the_o eye_n and_o the_o pride_n of_o life_n with_o other_o such_o like_a thing_n and_o the_o love_n of_o the_o world_n which_o be_v enmity_n with_o god_n as_o say_v the_o scripture_n for_o where_o the_o love_n of_o the_o world_n be_v the_o love_n of_o the_o father_n be_v not_o and_o so_o i_o say_v turn_v to_o the_o light_n of_o christ_n jesus_n in_o your_o conscience_n that_o with_o it_o you_o may_v see_v how_o it_o stand_v between_o god_n and_o your_o immortal_a soul_n for_o that_o be_v it_o which_o stand_v all_o people_n most_o in_o stead_n that_o be_v to_o say_v how_o it_o shall_v be_v with_o we_o when_o we_o go_v hence_o and_o be_v no_o more_o even_o to_o our_o long_a home_n for_o our_o time_n here_o be_v but_o a_o moment_n in_o comparison_n of_o eternity_n and_o all_o soul_n be_v immortal_a either_o ever_o to_o live_v with_o god_n in_o joy_n &_o happiness_n or_o else_o in_o eternal_a separation_n from_o he_o in_o perpetual_a misery_n &_o torment_n in_o that_o fire_n which_o can_v be_v quench_v as_o for_o instance_n you_o may_v read_v how_o that_o dive_v when_o he_o be_v in_o hell_n be_v not_o dead_a but_o live_v in_o that_o place_n of_o torment_n where_o he_o see_v lazarus_n in_o abraham_n bosom_n and_o how_o abraham_n say_v now_o remember_v how_o thou_o in_o thy_o life-time_n have_v thy_o good_a thing_n but_o lazarus_n evil_a thing_n but_o now_o he_o be_v comfort_v and_o thou_o torment_v and_o further_o he_o say_v there_o be_v a_o great_a gulf_n between_o that_o those_o who_o will_v come_v from_o thence_o can_v come_v so_o his_o day_n time_n be_v go_v over_o his_o head_n o_o therefore_o i_o warn_v you_o in_o god_n fear_n lay_v these_o thing_n to_o heart_n before_o it_o be_v too_o late_a and_o your_o day_n of_o visitation_n pass_v over_o your_o head_n and_o let_v not_o these_o thing_n be_v to_o you_o as_o a_o tale_n that_o be_v tell_v but_o as_o i_o say_v turn_v to_o within_o to_o the_o light_n of_o christ_n and_o every_o one_o deal_n true_o with_o your_o own_o soul_n while_o you_o have_v a_o time_n and_o space_n give_v you_o for_o god_n will_v not_o be_v mock_v such_o as_o every_o one_o sow_n such_o shall_v they_o reap_v they_o who_o sow_v to_o the_o flesh_n shall_v of_o the_o flesh_n reap_v corruption_n but_o whoso_o sow_v to_o the_o spirit_n do_v from_o the_o spirit_n reap_v life_n everlasting_a now_o what_o can_v any_o sow_n to_o the_o spirit_n i_o say_v nothing_o but_o obedience_n to_o its_o requiring_n for_o so_o be_v life_n reap_v and_o joy_n and_o peace_n that_o none_o can_v take_v away_o bless_v and_o praise_v be_v god_n forever_o do_v my_o soul_n say_v and_o as_o say_v the_o scripture_n so_o we_o say_v all_o have_v a_o measure_n of_o the_o spirit_n give_v to_o profit_n withal_o as_o to_o god-ward_o and_o by_o it_o all_o may_v know_v a_o profit_v in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n who_o to_o know_v be_v life_n and_o some_o have_v more_o and_o some_o less_o as_o it_o be_v testify_v but_o he_o who_o have_v least_o if_o he_o come_v to_o improve_v it_o he_o shall_v find_v it_o sufficient_a for_o salvation_n for_o reproof_n for_o instruction_n and_o the_o reproof_n of_o instruction_n be_v the_o way_n of_o life_n and_o so_o herein_o it_o be_v that_o god_n grace_n have_v appear_v unto_o all_o in_o that_o all_o be_v enlighten_v with_o a_o measure_n of_o the_o true_a light_n which_o as_o the_o apostle_n say_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n have_v appear_v to_o all_o man_n which_o teach_v we_o that_o deny_v all_o worldly_a lust_n we_o may_v live_v sober_o righteous_o and_o godly_o in_o this_o present_a evil_a world_n so_o it_o have_v appear_v to_o all_o but_o all_o do_v not_o turn_v to_o it_o to_o be_v teach_v by_o it_o and_o christ_n say_v i_o be_o the_o light_n of_o the_o world_n and_o john_n say_v that_o be_v the_o true_a light_n which_o enlighten_v every_o man_n that_o come_v into_o the_o world_n so_o we_o say_v this_o be_v the_o grace_n the_o light_n which_o manifest_v all_o that_o be_v to_o be_v know_v of_o god_n for_o by_o it_o god_n have_v show_v it_o unto_o we_o and_o by_o it_o god_n will_v show_v it_o unto_o all_o who_o believe_v in_o it_o and_o no_o other_o way_n but_o by_o the_o measure_n of_o his_o grace_n make_v know_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o all_o believer_n whereby_o a_o profit_v be_v know_v and_o a_o grow_a from_o one_o degree_n of_o grace_n to_o another_o degree_n of_o grace_n for_o by_o grace_n be_v we_o save_v and_o that_o not_o of_o ourselves_o it_o be_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n as_o say_v the_o apostle_n who_o be_v teach_v first_o to_o live_v sober_o then_o righteous_o then_o godly_o and_o to_o do_v unto_o all_o as_o we_o will_v have_v all_o do_v unto_o we_o for_o so_o it_o teach_v and_o bring_v into_o righteousness_n and_o true_a holiness_n without_o which_o none_o can_v ever_o see_v god_n so_o all_o that_o do_v run_v this_o ra●e_n which_o be_v set_v before_o we_o faithful_a unto_o the_o end_n shall_v sure_o obtain_v the_o crown_n of_o life_n which_o god_n the_o righteous_a judge_n shall_v give_v at_o that_o day_n so_o the_o way_n of_o life_n and_o the_o way_n of_o death_n be_v set_v before_o every_o man_n and_o every_o woman_n so_o they_o who_o love_v the_o light_n they_o bring_v all_o their_o deed_n to_o the_o light_n that_o thereby_o they_o may_v be_v try_v whether_o they_o be_v wrought_v in_o god_n who_o be_v light_n with_o who_o there_o be_v no_o darkness_n at_o all_o for_o god_n will_v render_v unto_o all_o according_a as_o their_o work_n be_v whether_o good_a or_o evil_n but_o they_o who_o hate_v the_o light_n love_v their_o evil_a deed_n and_o will_v not_o bring_v their_o deed_n to_o be_v try_v lest_o by_o the_o light_n they_o shall_v be_v reprove_v for_o that_o which_o manifest_v be_v light_a so_o while_o it_o shine_v in_o darkness_n the_o darkness_n can_v comprehend_v it_o but_o as_o it_o shine_v out_o of_o the_o darkness_n then_o shall_v all_o see_v how_o it_o be_v with_o they_o that_o be_v a_o measure_n of_o he_o who_o tell_v the_o woman_n of_o samaria_n all_o that_o ever_o she_o have_v do_v who_o when_o she_o have_v meet_v with_o he_o she_o run_v and_o tell_v they_o of_o the_o city_n and_o say_v be_v not_o this_o the_o christ_n so_o when_o we_o have_v find_v he_o by_o turn_v to_o the_o light_n for_o that_o be_v his_o name_n we_o can_v but_o tell_v you_o of_o he_o that_o you_o may_v wait_v to_o see_v his_o daystar_n arise_v in_o your_o heart_n which_o give_v the_o true_a knowledge_n of_o god_n and_o of_o his_o glory_n in_o the_o face_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o his_o name_n be_v call_v the_o word_n of_o god_n so_o to_o the_o word_n of_o faith_n which_o be_v near_o all_o in_o the_o heart_n and_o in_o the_o mouth_n that_o all_o may_v obey_v and_o do_v it_o for_o obedience_n be_v better_a than_o sacrifice_n and_o to_o harken_v better_a than_o the_o fat_a of_o ram_n yea_o this_o word_n be_v a_o swift_a witness_n as_o it_o be_v give_v heed_n unto_o against_o every_o evil_a way_n and_o evil_a word_n and_o evil_a thought_n and_o as_o it_o be_v mind_v it_o say_v this_o be_v the_o way_n walk_v in_o it_o when_o thou_o turn_v to_o the_o right_a hand_n or_o to_o the_o left_a and_o so_o as_o christ_n say_v this_o be_v the_o condemnation_n of_o the_o world_n that_o light_n be_v come_v into_o the_o world_n but_o man_n love_v darkness_n rather_o than_o light_n because_o their_o deed_n be_v evil_a so_o that_o which_o show_v the_o evil_a the_o same_o give_v power_n against_o all_o evil_a and_o purify_v the_o conscience_n from_o all_o dead_a work_n and_o make_v alive_a to_o serve_v god_n in_o the_o newness_n of_o his_o own_o spirit_n to_o who_o be_v praise_n and_o glory_n even_o to_o god_n who_o be_v over_o all_o in_o heaven_n and_o earth_n bless_v forever_o and_o ever_o amen_n so_o this_o be_v a_o testimony_n and_o also_o a_o warn_v from_o one_o who_o have_v obtain_v mercy_n through_o christ_n the_o lord_n of_o life_n and_o glory_n that_o now_o you_o may_v seek_v god_n that_o you_o may_v find_v he_o to_o your_o joy_n for_o he_o be_v not_o far_o from_o any_o one_o of_o you_o and_o this_o be_v the_o way_n to_o keep_v god_n judgement_n from_o a_o place_n or_o land_n even_o by_o keep_v his_o command_n for_o it_o be_v say_v that_o a_o man_n great_a enemy_n be_v those_o of_o his_o own_o house_n and_o also_o consider_v if_o iniquity_n do_v not_o great_o abound_v in_o your_o island_n and_o even_o the_o sin_n of_o egypt_n babylon_n and_o sodom_n first_o egypt_n hardness_n of_o heart_n for_o as_o pharaoh_n say_v have_v harden_v his_o heart_n against_o the_o servant_n of_o the_o lord_n moses_n he_o say_v who_o be_v the_o lord_n that_o i_o shall_v obey_v he_o and_o then_o the_o sin_n of_o babylon_n whoredom_n and_o confusion_n of_o tongue_n as_o curse_v swear_v and_o not_o plainness_n of_o speech_n one_o to_o another_o whereas_o christ_n say_v let_v your_o communication_n be_v yea_o yea_o and_o nay_o nay_o for_o what_o be_v more_o come_v of_o evil_n and_o then_o the_o sin_n of_o sodom_n pride_n idleness_n and_o fullness_n of_o bread_n now_o let_v that_o of_o god_n in_o all_o your_o conscience_n answer_v if_o these_o thing_n be_v not_o so_o which_o be_v herein_o testify_v and_o that_o by_o the_o move_n of_o god_n spirit_n in_o my_o heart_n and_o indeed_o it_o be_v for_o no_o other_o end_n then_o to_o clear_v my_o conscience_n in_o his_o sight_n so_o if_o you_o will_v have_v god_n anger_n turn_v away_o and_o his_o hand_n of_o mercy_n stretch_v out_o towards_o you_o still_o and_o towards_o your_o island_n it_o must_v be_v by_o turn_v to_o he_o who_o will_v then_o turn_v unto_o you_o and_o to_o lie_v low_a under_o his_o mighty_a hand_n for_o if_o god_n keep_v not_o the_o city_n or_o place_n all_o the_o watchman_n watch_v but_o in_o vain_a so_o this_o be_v in_o true_a love_n to_o your_o soul_n from_o one_o who_o be_v know_v by_o the_o name_n of_o lydia_n fell_n the_o end_n
