god_n almighty_a forbid_v i_o know_v there_o be_v a_o serious_n and_o diligent_a people_n among_o you_o who_o do_v not_o only_o know_v when_o good_a come_v from_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o lord_n but_o wait_v upon_o he_o for_o it_o and_o that_o daily_a that_o their_o soul_n may_v be_v strengthen_v in_o the_o way_n and_o work_v of_o the_o lord_n and_o these_o can_v no_o more_o live_v without_o his_o presence_n his_o mystical_a and_o hide_a manna_n in_o their_o spiritual_a journey_n to_o the_o eternal_a canaan_n of_o god_n than_o outward_a israel_n be_v able_a to_o live_v without_o manna_n in_o the_o wilderness_n in_o their_o journey_n to_o their_o temporal_a canaan_n and_o i_o beseech_v my_o god_n and_o my_o father_n and_o your_o god_n and_o your_o father_n my_o dear_a brethren_n to_o attend_v all_o these_o holy_a waiter_n upon_o he_o with_o the_o good_a thing_n of_o his_o house_n and_o daily_o make_v they_o glad_a in_o his_o holy_a house_n of_o prayer_n but_o the_o condition_n of_o some_o who_o pretend_v to_o follow_v christ_n yet_o be_v afar_o off_o affect_v my_o spirit_n for_o they_o know_v little_a of_o these_o enjoyment_n and_o hardly_o eat_v so_o much_o as_o the_o crumb_n that_o fall_v from_o christ_n table_n and_o seem_v to_o satisfy_v themselves_o with_o a_o mere_a convincement_n of_o the_o truth_n or_o at_o best_o with_o a_o bare_a confession_n to_o it_o who_o take_v up_o with_o a_o formal_a go_v to_o meeting_n and_o hear_v what_o other_o have_v to_o say_v of_o the_o work_n and_o goodness_n of_o god_n in_o and_o to_o they_o they_o shun_v the_o daily_o cross_a of_o christ_n whereby_o they_o shall_v die_v daily_o to_o their_o earthly_a will_n and_o vain_a affection_n and_o overcome_v the_o world_n the_o flesh_n and_o the_o devil_n oh_o these_o be_v still_o their_o own_o and_o not_o the_o lord_n and_o gird_v themselves_o and_o go_v whither_o and_o do_v what_o they_o list_v for_o which_o cause_n they_o be_v lean_a barren_a and_o vnfruitful_a to_o god_n and_o to_o their_o own_o soul_n and_o worship_v he_o in_o the_o form_n only_o and_o not_o in_o the_o power_n of_o godliness_n such_o must_v needs_o be_v weak_a in_o faith_n ready_a to_o slip_v and_o start_v aside_o at_o every_o windy_a doctrine_n or_o sensual_a temptation_n oh_o my_o dear_a friend_n let_v i_o prevail_v with_o you_o in_o this_o my_o farewell_n to_o you_o to_o turn_v your_o mind_n inward_a and_o wait_v to_o feel_v your_o redeemer_n and_o meet_v he_o in_o the_o way_n of_o his_o righteous_a judgement_n for_o there_o be_v no_o redemption_n but_o through_o judgement_n nor_o conversion_n but_o through_o righteousness_n come_v and_o be_v baptize_v by_o christ_n he_o will_v baptise_v you_o with_o his_o fire_n and_o holy_a ghost_n he_o will_v scour_v and_o rinse_v you_o for_o believe_v i_o his_o fan_n be_v still_o in_o his_o hand_n and_o he_o will_v if_o you_o will_v let_v he_o thorough_o purge_v his_o floor_n viz._n your_o heart_n and_o make_v all_o thing_n clean_a
