B21662	A tender and Christian testimony to young people and others whom it may concern in this present day, who walk with us under the profession of the blessed truth.	Elson, Mary, 1623 or 4-1707.	1685 (1685)	Wing E642	4,742	10

walk_v under_o the_o profession_n of_o truth_n with_o we_o in_o the_o fear_n and_o love_n of_o god_n we_o beseech_v you_o as_o child_n retire_v to_o the_o light_n of_o christ_n in_o you_o and_o there_o feel_v our_o burden_n for_o you_o and_o the_o reproach_n and_o dishonour_n of_o the_o precious_a truth_n by_o you_o whilst_o the_o world_n say_v the_o quaker_n be_v now_o like_o we_o they_o want_v only_a lace_n &_o ribbon_n our_o end_n be_v not_o to_o upbraid_v any_o but_o to_o remind_v you_o how_o our_o religious_a profession_n be_v upbraid_v for_o with_o the_o light_n you_o will_v see_v there_o may_v be_v and_o be_v superfluity_n in_o habit_n although_o no_o lace_n and_o ribbon_n neither_o will_v we_o have_v you_o provoke_v but_o to_o the_o love_n of_o the_o light_n of_o christ_n in_o you_o because_o they_o that_o love_v the_o light_n bring_v their_o deed_n to_o be_v manifest_v by_o the_o light_n and_o receive_v the_o reproof_n and_o instuction_n of_o it_o for_o they_o be_v the_o way_n to_o life_n now_o this_o we_o do_v enjoin_v upon_o you_o and_o be_v seek_v for_o you_o even_o that_o the_o holy_a principle_n of_o truth_n may_v take_v place_n in_o you_o so_o as_o to_o season_v you_o in_o all_o good_a manner_n of_o life_n and_o conversation_n as_o those_o that_o profess_v godliness_n remember_v what_o the_o apostle_n say_v in_o 1_o tim._n let_v the_o woman_n adorn_v themselves_o in_o modest_a apparel_n and_o with_o sobriety_n and_o not_o with_o broider_a hair_n gold_n or_o costly_a array_n and_o in_o peter_n read_z how_o the_o godly_a woman_n adorn_v be_v to_o be_v inward_a not_o in_o put_v on_o apparel_n etc._n etc._n now_o have_v know_v a_o mortification_n through_o the_o cross_n of_o christ_n and_o in_o this_o as_o well_o as_o other_o thing_n deny_v ourselves_o &_o put_v off_o these_o thing_n we_o have_v liberty_n in_o before_o we_o profess_v the_o truth_n to_o such_o it_o be_v now_o strange_a to_o see_v what_o some_o put_v on_o so_o much_o more_o costly_a &_o far_o exceed_v whatever_o they_o wear_v before_o they_o come_v to_o profess_v the_o truth_n and_o indeed_o unsuitable_a to_o truth_n be_v gravity_n and_o christian_a society_n as_o if_o that_o which_o crucify_v to_o the_o world_n and_o lead_v to_o self-denial_n be_v forget_v the_o lord_n help_v to_o stop_v these_o thing_n that_o hinder_v the_o work_n of_o god_n and_o stop_v that_o holy_a progress_n in_o the_o life_n of_o truth_n furthermore_o we_o can_v but_o remind_n here_o among_o we_o young_a people_n that_o have_v little_a in_o the_o world_n yet_o deck_v themselves_o as_o if_o they_o have_v great_a matter_n and_o thereby_o draw_v out_o the_o mind_n one_o after_o another_o into_o high_a expectation_n in_o this_o circumstance_n there_o be_v oft_o time_n a_o fallacy_n and_o deceit_n and_o the_o end_n of_o it_o prove_v of_o a_o bad_a effect_n by_o disappointment_n but_o at_o best_o this_o bespeak_v not_o the_o modesty_n sincerity_n or_o weight_n of_o truth_n now_o pray_v friend_n bear_v with_o we_o for_o it_o be_v the_o truth_n of_o god_n which_o be_v most_o precious_a both_o in_o faith_n and_o life_n which_o be_v our_o concern_n herein_o and_o that_o the_o cross_n of_o christ_n in_o which_o the_o sum_n of_o christianity_n consist_v may_v not_o be_v make_v void_a and_o our_o holy_a profession_n may_v not_o be_v scandalize_v by_o thing_n unbecoming_a truth_n and_o we_o in_o which_o a_o false_a liberty_n be_v creep_v up_o to_o the_o hurt_n and_o hindrance_n of_o truth_n be_v prosperity_n but_o in_o the_o light_a all_o be_v discern_v and_o strength_n minister_v to_o withstand_v therefore_o our_o testimony_n be_v to_o elder_a and_o young_a that_o in_o all_o thing_n we_o all_o may_v keep_v to_o the_o touchstone_n and_o guidance_n of_o the_o holy_a principle_n that_o first_o convince_v we_o and_o you_o the_o young_a friend_n be_v not_o as_o those_o that_o be_v grow_v beyond_o reproof_n but_o esteem_v of_o they_o that_o be_v before_o you_o in_o the_o truth_n as_o the_o elder_a woman_n that_o be_v in_o our_o duty_n which_o be_v to_o teach_v the_o young_a in_o all_o good_a thing_n and_o also_o to_o reprove_v and_o admonish_v concern_v evil_a thing_n and_o the_o elder_a and_o young_a may_v walk_v in_o truth_n in_o all_o thing_n harmless_a and_o blameless_a let_v we_o all_o mind_n that_o which_o keep_v in_o humility_n fear_n and_o godly_a sincerity_n and_o those_o that_o be_v mother_n of_o child_n in_o all_o holy_a circumspection_n to_o watch_v over_o they_o that_o the_o vanity_n of_o the_o mind_n may_v not_o be_v encourage_v but_o curb_v and_o keep_v down_o and_o those_o servant_n that_o profess_v the_o truth_n which_o will_v not_o be_v subject_a in_o their_o place_n in_o these_o thing_n that_o be_v wholesome_a honest_a and_o just_a but_o take_v liberty_n as_o they_o will_v be_v stubborn_a and_o perverse_a not_o answer_v the_o bless_a principle_n of_o truth_n so_o become_v a_o stumble_n to_o

to_o fear_v the_o lord_n and_o take_v heed_n how_o they_o persist_v in_o go_v contrary_a to_o the_o holy_a truth_n they_o profess_v but_o turn_v into_o the_o measure_n of_o god_n spirit_n of_o grace_n
