heart_n and_o while_o you_o have_v time_n prize_v it_o before_o it_o be_v too_o late_o and_o know_v you_o protestant_n that_o it_o be_v only_o the_o true_a jew_n which_o shall_v have_v acceptance_n in_o his_o presence_n in_o that_o day_n even_o they_o who_o be_v of_o the_o circumcision_n of_o the_o heart_n who_o be_v cover_v with_o his_o holy_a spirit_n and_o not_o with_o a_o name_n to_o live_v and_o be_v dead_a as_o it_o be_v with_o you_o at_o this_o day_n therefore_o this_o visitation_n of_o love_n be_v send_v among_o you_o that_o you_o may_v read_v and_o consider_v your_o condition_n and_o how_o you_o stand_v that_o you_o may_v not_o plead_v ignorance_n in_o the_o dreadful_a day_n of_o account_n which_o be_v even_o at_o the_o door_n and_o remember_v if_o god_n spare_v not_o the_o natural_a branch_n but_o cut_v they_o off_o who_o sin_v he_o will_v not_o spare_v you_o for_o the_o soul_n that_o sin_v shall_v die_v but_o he_o that_o turn_v from_o his_o sin_n and_o do_v righteousness_n shall_v live_v and_o there_o be_v no_o other_o covenant_n or_o promise_n of_o god_n than_o this_o therefore_o let_v not_o your_o preacher_n deceive_v you_o any_o long_o by_o tell_v you_o it_o shall_v go_v well_o with_o you_o though_o you_o live_v in_o sin_n and_o uncleanness_n but_o turn_v to_o the_o light_n of_o christ_n which_o condemn_v you_o for_o all_o sin_n and_o give_v up_o to_o be_v guide_v by_o it_o and_o it_o will_v lead_v you_o to_o forsake_v your_o sin_n so_o will_v you_o find_v mercy_n else_o you_o will_v perish_v eternal_o which_o be_v the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n unto_o you_o all_o therefore_o i_o say_v again_o and_o again_o prize_n god_n love_n which_o be_v free_o tender_v unto_o you_o for_o a_o famine_n of_o the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n have_v be_v among_o man_n and_o the_o vision_n have_v fail_v which_o have_v be_v the_o cause_n people_n have_v perish_v even_o because_o of_o ignorance_n therefore_o come_v to_o christ_n the_o light_n the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n that_o you_o may_v learn_v only_o of_o he_o and_o receive_v wisdom_n of_o he_o who_o make_v all_o they_o true_o wise_a unto_o salvation_n who_o come_v unto_o he_o and_o hear_v he_o so_o than_o their_o soul_n come_v to_o live_v and_o not_o before_o and_o take_v not_o this_o as_o a_o idle_a tale_n or_o story_n for_o though_o my_o message_n be_v not_o adorn_v with_o entice_a word_n of_o man_n wisdom_n or_o as_o man_n wisdom_n teach_v yet_o know_v assure_o that_o if_o you_o reject_v it_o it_o will_v be_v your_o condemnation_n and_o you_o will_v be_v leave_v without_o excuse_n as_o i_o say_v if_o god_n spare_v not_o the_o natural_a branch_n when_o they_o sin_v even_o they_o who_o be_v once_o true_o graft_v into_o the_o true_a olive_n tree_n sure_o he_o will_v not_o spare_v

in_o all_o your_o conscience_n be_v you_o true_o what_o you_o profess_v yourselves_o to_o be_v in_o word_n will_v you_o not_o be_v a_o witness_n against_o all_o the_o vanity_n and_o wickedness_n of_o

to_o be_v holy_a just_a in_o all_o their_o conversation_n for_o of_o a_o truth_n all_o the_o true_a christian_n come_v to_o witness_v this_o even_o all_o old_a thing_n to_o pass_v away_o and_o all_o

of_o your_o work_n and_o labour_n but_o the_o free_a and_o true_a ministry_n of_o christ_n jesus_n be_v for_o the_o perfect_a of_o the_o saint_n and_o the_o edify_n of_o the_o body_n until_o they_o all_o come_v to_o a_o perfect_a man_n into_o the_o measure_n and_o stature_n of_o the_o fullness_n of_o christ_n who_o be_v and_o be_v head_n of_o their_o body_n unto_o which_o no_o corrupt_a nor_o profane_a member_n can_v be_v join_v and_o thus_o your_o ministry_n differ_v from_o the_o true_a yea_o even_o as_o much_o as_o light_v from_o darkness_n the_o one_o teach_v and_o lead_v out_o of_o all_o sin_n and_o the_o other_o teach_v that_o there_o can_v never_o be_v a_o freedom_n from_o sin_n in_o this_o li_z e_z though_o the_o apostle_n say_v you_o be_v make_v free_a from_o sin_n become_v the_o servant_n of_o righteousness_n for_o while_o you_o be_v servant_n unto_o sin_n you_o be_v free_a from_o righteousness_n so_o there_o be_v the_o fruit_n and_o effect_n of_o the_o true_a ministry_n and_o the_o fruit_n and_o effect_n of_o the_o ministry_n of_o satan_n be_v so_o far_o from_o this_o that_o they_o preach_v up_o sin_n for_o term_n of_o life_n as_o have_v be_v speak_v of_o already_o therefore_o o_o you_o priest_n be_v you_o warn_v of_o the_o lord_n god_n of_o life_n and_o cease_v thus_o from_o delude_v the_o people_n and_o let_v he_o that_o steal_v steal_v no_o more_o but_o rather_o let_v he_o labour_n work_v with_o his_o hand_n the_o thing_n which_o be_v good_a that_o he_o may_v have_v to_o give_v to_o he_o that_o need_v and_o this_o be_v counsel_n of_o life_n unto_o you_o all_o o_o you_o protestant_a priest_n in_o france_n i_o say_v cease_v from_o steal_v other_o man_n word_n and_o make_v merchandise_n of_o they_o to_o other_o but_o come_v to_o the_o light_n yourselves_o that_o you_o may_v hear_v and_o learn_v of_o christ_n yourselves_o and_o then_o if_o he_o please_v to_o send_v any_o of_o you_o forth_o to_o open_v the_o blind_a eye_n and_o turn_v the_o people_n from_o darkness_n to_o light_n and_o from_o satan_n power_n to_o god_n then_o obey_v his_o voice_n and_o go_v forth_o free_o and_o preach_v as_o he_o have_v give_v you_o free_o so_o will_v you_o profit_v the_o people_n though_o this_o manner_n of_o call_n will_v be_v contrary_a to_o your_o own_o will_n and_o against_o man_n will_n you_o come_v to_o preach_v to_o and_o till_o you_o come_v to_o witness_v this_o only_a holy_a and_o true_a call_n i_o say_v again_o and_o again_o as_o from_o the_o lord_n god_n of_o life_n cease_v and_o be_v still_o and_o let_v the_o people_n alone_o until_o the_o lord_n send_v labourer_n among_o they_o for_o the_o vineyard_n be_v only_o he_o to_o send_v into_o it_o to_o labour_v who_o he_o only_o will_v appoint_v thereto_o and_o he_o which_o go_v and_o be_v not_o send_v be_v but_o a_o thief_n and_o a_o robber_n which_o be_v the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n god_n unto_o all_o priest_n of_o this_o nation_n therefore_o cease_v cease_v and_o repent_v that_o you_o may_v find_v mercy_n for_o the_o blood_n of_o one_o man_n if_o it_o be_v lay_v to_o your_o charge_n will_v be_v too_o heavy_a for_o you_o to_o bear_v which_o assure_o you_o must_v for_o many_o if_o you_o refuse_v to_o hearken_v unto_o the_o counsel_n of_o god_n which_o he_o in_o the_o infiniteness_n of_o his_o love_n tender_v unto_o you_o for_o know_v the_o end_n of_o the_o true_a ministry_n be_v to_o bring_v people_n unto_o god_n and_o on_o he_o alone_o to_o wait_v for_o teach_v which_o be_v his_o covenant_n and_o promise_n to_o bring_v people_n to_o be_v sensible_a of_o the_o gift_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n of_o god_n in_o themselves_o and_o the_o apostle_n say_v every_o man_n have_v a_o manifestation_n of_o the_o spirit_n give_v to_o he_o to_o

their_o body_n to_o be_v the_o temple_n of_o god_n through_o the_o spirit_n which_o dwell_v in_o they_o and_o so_o they_o come_v to_o bring_v forth_o the_o fruit_n of_o the_o spirit_n which_o be_v

one_o new_a man_n be_v witness_v and_o so_o peace_n come_v to_o be_v witness_v with_o god_n and_o not_o before_o and_o until_o the_o new_a creature_n be_v witness_v all_o avail_v nothing_o but_o the_o

natural_o the_o fruit_n of_o the_o spirit_n as_o he_o do_v the_o fruit_n of_o the_o flesh_n before_o which_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o lust_n and_o uncleanness_n and_o filthiness_n of_o life_n so_o give_v up_o to_o be_v teach_v by_o he_o in_o this_o the_o day_n of_o his_o almighty_a power_n therefore_o let_v this_o be_v a_o warning_n unto_o all_o priest_n let_v god_n alone_o with_o his_o own_o
