thou_o have_v make_v with_o me_n a_o everlasting_a covenant_n etc._n etc._n as_o they_o abide_v in_o the_o unity_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o bond_n of_o peace_n but_o if_o this_o unity_n of_o the_o

the_o loss_n of_o their_o own_o estate_n and_o ruin_n of_o their_o slamily_n but_o also_o to_o the_o wrong_n of_o their_o neighbour_n and_o above_o all_o to_o the_o dishonour_n of_o their_o holy_a profession_n and_o cause_v the_o way_n of_o truth_n to_o be_v evil_o speak_v of_o etc._n etc._n let_v not_o such_o deceive_v themselves_o by_o think_v such_o miscarriage_n may_v be_v salve_v over_o or_o cover_v with_o a_o outward_a and_o formal_a profession_n of_o the_o truth_n for_o god_n be_v not_o so_o tie_v to_o any_o profession_n that_o they_o shall_v be_v at_o liberty_n to_o walk_v after_o the_o lust_n of_o the_o flesh_n and_o to_o please_v themselves_o but_o if_o we_o break_v covenant_n with_o he_o he_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o keep_v covenant_n with_o we_o but_o the_o breach_n be_v always_o first_o on_o man_n part_n as_o the_o prophet_n zachary_n speak_v zac._n 10_o 11._o which_o be_v signify_v by_o the_o two_o staffe_n beauty_n and_o band_n say_v and_o i_o take_v my_o staff_n even_o beauty_n and_o cut_v it_o asunder_o that_o i_o may_v break_v the_o covenant_n that_o i_o have_v make_v with_o all_o people_n and_o it_o be_v break_v in_o that_o day_n and_o the_o poor_a of_o the_o flock_n that_o wait_v apon_n god_n know_v that_o it_o be_v the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o when_o the_o unity_n of_o the_o spirit_n be_v depart_v from_o and_o the_o bond_n of_o peace_n break_v the_o other_o staff_n bands_n which_o signify_v their_o outward_a form_n or_o discipline_n can_v not_o keep_v they_o together_o but_o god_n soon_o cut_v that_o asunder_o also_o that_o he_o may_v break_v the_o brotherhood_n between_o judah_n and_o israel_n for_o the_o brotherhood_n between_o judah_n and_o israel_n of_o old_a do_v not_o stand_v in_o the_o outward_a form_n of_o the_o

will_v i_o look_v say_v the_o lord_n even_o to_o he_o that_o be_v poor_a and_o of_o a_o contrite_a spirit_n and_o tremble_v at_o my_o word_n dear_a friend_n let_v we_o be_v careful_a to_o keep_v to_o the_o law_n of_o the_o house_n upon_o the_o top_n of_o the_o mount_n which_o be_v holiness_n round_a about_o ezek._n 43.12_o if_o holiness_n be_v round_o about_o than_o god_n be_v there_o according_a

that_o be_v in_o christ_n jesus_n although_o we_o suffer_v persecution_n for_o it_o the_o name_n of_o this_o house_n the_o lord_z be_v there_o will_v end_v all_o other_o name_n as_o it_o be_v foretell_v that_o the_o time_n shall_v come_v that_o the_o lord_n shall_v be_v one_o and_o his_o name_n one_o in_o all_o the_o earth_n his_o name_n be_v his_o power_n and_o presence_n of_o his_o

at_o the_o dedication_n of_o the_o temple_n which_o god_n take_v so_o kind_o at_o the_o hand_n of_o solomon_n that_o he_o will_v not_o dwell_v in_o it_o himself_o though_o it_o be_v so_o much_o fame_v in_o the_o world_n but_o give_v it_o up_o to_o the_o lord_n that_o god_n so_o fill_v the_o house_n with_o his_o glory_n that_o the_o priest_n can_v not_o enter_v in_o as_o it_o be_v write_v in_o 2_o chro._n 7._o and_o not_o only_o so_o but_o god_n provide_v such_o plenty_n of_o sacrifice_n that_o there_o be_v scarce_o room_n to_o receive_v they_o and_o as_o we_o give_v up_o to_o the_o divine_a power_n of_o god_n as_o peter_n call_v it_o that_o will_v make_v we_o partaker_n of_o all_o thing_n that_o pertain_v to_o life_n and_o godliness_n and_o so_o fill_v our_o meeting_n with_o great_a glory_n than_o at_o the_o beginning_n when_o few_o word_n oftentimes_o do_v the_o work_n of_o the_o ministry_n to_o god_n praise_n and_o glory_n and_o to_o the_o comfort_n and_o satisfaction_n of_o the_o soul_n of_o his_o people_n these_o pastor_n which_o god_n raise_v up_o at_o the_o beginning_n according_a to_o his_o own_o heart_n go_v out_o to_o god_n work_n as_o abraham_n do_v out_o of_o his_o country_n and_o father_n house_n not_o know_v whither_o so_o they_o not_o question_v god_n assistance_n or_o disposal_n of_o they_o in_o his_o service_n and_o like_o israel_n when_o they_o leave_v egypt_n and_o set_v forth_o their_o three_o day_n journey_n say_v we_o know_v not_o wherewith_o we_o shall_v serve_v god_n until_o we_o come_v there_o so_o poor_a in_o spirit_n be_v they_o in_o that_o day_n and_o so_o close_o keep_v they_o retire_v unto_o the_o light_n and_o measure_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n within_o that_o they_o dare_v not_o out_o of_o a_o holy_a fear_n open_v their_o mouth_n till_o the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n come_v say_v as_o the_o prophet_n jeremy_n speak_v and_o when_o that_o stop_v say_v they_o have_v do_v speak_v until_o it_o come_v again_o this_o be_v one_o great_a cause_n wherefore_o the_o truth_n at_o the_o beginning_n so_o mighty_o grow_v and_o prosper_v together_o with_o the_o holy_a conversation_n answerable_a thereunto_o of_o those_o that_o receive_v the_o truth_n in_o the_o love_n of_o it_o into_o the_o good_a and_o honest_a heart_n as_o it_o be_v write_v etc._n etc._n these_o thing_n i_o write_v unto_o you_o by_o way_n of_o remembrance_n to_o stir_v up_o your_o pure_a mind_n to_o follow_v these_o good_a example_n that_o those_o of_o latter_a time_n may_v beware_v of_o lust_a to_o speak_v many_o word_n and_o of_o think_v that_o may_v do_v the_o business_n of_o the_o ministry_n and_o of_o lust_a to_o preach_v or_o pray_v to_o gratify_v a_o itch_a ear_n after_o speak_v or_o sometime_o to_o show_v their_o gift_n and_o elocution_n for_o applause_n this_o be_v not_o speak_v to_o stop_v the_o motion_n of_o god_n spirit_n in_o any_o nor_o to_o despise_v youth_n true_o sanctify_v and_o gift_v but_o that_o none_o may_v be_v exalt_v when_o they_o see_v people_n affect_v with_o their_o ministry_n pray_v observe_v christ_n caution_n to_o those_o early_a messenger_n that_o come_v and_o tell_v he_o that_o unclean_a spirit_n be_v subject_a to_o they_o etc._n etc._n by_o advise_v they_o not_o to_o rejoice_v in_o that_o but_o rather_o that_o their_o name_n be_v writren_a in_o heaven_n luke_n 10.20_o this_o may_v be_v a_o caution_n to_o all_o those_o of_o low_a attainment_n and_o less_o authority_n who_o have_v need_v to_o take_v heed_n of_o popularity_n or_o strive_v for_o a_o name_n on_o earth_n but_o be_v sure_a their_o name_n be_v record_v in_o heaven_n timothy_n be_v a_o young_a preacher_n but_o rare_o qualify_v yet_o paul_n in_o his_o epistle_n to_o he_o among_o other_o counsel_n that_o he_o give_v he_o he_o advise_v he_o to_o exhort_v the_o young_a woman_n as_o sister_n with_o all_o purity_n timothy_n be_v a_o young_a man_n and_o probable_o attend_v with_o temptation_n of_o youth_n therefore_o paul_n advise_v he_o to_o shun_v youthful_a lust_n and_o instruct_v he_o to_o be_v careful_a in_o his_o exhortation_n to_o young_a woman_n that_o he_o do_v it_o with_o all_o purity_n least_o any_o sinister_a or_o by-end_n shall_v creep_v in_o to_o defile_v and_o so_o frustrate_v his_o exhortation_n etc._n etc._n a_o good_a caution_n to_o all_o young_a man_n that_o be_v but_o young_a preacher_n also_o those_o pastor_n after_o god_n own_o heart_n at_o the_o beginning_n keep_v much_o to_o the_o word_n of_o exhortation_n to_o the_o light_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o conscience_n as_o a_o seed_n

so_o dear_o love_v one_o another_o in_o my_o old_a age_n i_o can_v forget_v those_o time_n and_o season_n of_o comfortable_a refreshment_n we_o have_v enjoy_v together_o in_o the_o holy_a spirit_n of_o our_o heavenly_a father_n praise_v be_v his_o bless_a name_n for_o ever_o that_o which_o be_v in_o my_o heart_n to_o you_o in_o this_o epistle_n be_v to_o remind_v you_o of_o that_o free_a love_n of_o god_n that_o visit_v we_o in_o our_o low_a estate_n when_o we_o be_v cast_v out_o as_o it_o be_v into_o the_o open_a field_n void_a of_o all_o shelter_n as_o in_o a_o weary_a land_n quite_o tire_v and_o weary_a of_o every_o thing_n then_o be_v make_v know_v to_o we_o the_o hide_v place_n from_o the_o storm_n etc._n etc._n which_o we_o find_v to_o be_v as_o a_o rock_n in_o that_o weary_a

another_o for_o our_o preservation_n in_o the_o same_o love_n unto_o the_o end_n remember_v that_o all_o miscarriage_n both_o towards_o god_n and_o towards_o one_o another_o arise_v and_o spring_v common_o from_o the_o decay_n of_o love_n this_o procure_v that_o dreadful_a threaten_n to_o ephesus_n of_o have_v her_o golden_a candelstick_n remove_v because_o she_o have_v leave_v she_o first_o love_n etc._n etc._n i_o doubt_v not_o but_o there_o be_v those_o yet_o leave_v among_o we_o that_o can_v remember_v that_o esteem_n and_o good_a persuasion_n that_o many_o people_n have_v of_o the_o truth_n and_o of_o those_o that_o profess_a it_o at_o the_o beginning_n because_o we_o love_v one_o another_o and_o therefore_o many_o conclude_v we_o be_v the_o disciple_n of_o christ_n and_o it_o may_v be_v observe_v that_o because_o peter_n know_v man_n heart_n be_v not_o more_o ready_a to_o deceive_v he_o in_o any_o thing_n than_o concern_v true_a and_o unfeigned_a love_n he_o prefer_v not_o his_o own_o knowledge_n of_o his_o heart_n but_o appeal_v to_o christ_n knowledge_n of_o it_o viz_o lord_n thou_o know_v i_o love_v thou_o and_o because_o true_a love_n to_o the_o brethren_n be_v such_o a_o excellent_a grace_n and_o virtue_n the_o primitive_a christian_n count_v it_o a_o sign_n of_o their_o regeneration_n say_v we_o know_v we_o be_v pass_v from_o death_n to_o life_n because_o we_o love_v the_o brethren_n but_o see_v there_o be_v a_o hypocritical_a fawn_a that_o look_v like_o love_n the_o apostle_n sharp_o reprove_v that_o in_o say_v let_v your_o love_n be_v without_o

raise_v up_o pastor_n according_a to_o his_o own_o heart_n that_o feed_v we_o with_o divine_a wisdom_n and_o understanding_n which_o be_v in_o some_o measure_n the_o fulfil_n of_o that_o prophecy_n so_o that_o we_o pursue_v after_o the_o substance_n which_o be_v christ_n jesus_n and_o leave_v the_o shadow_n ceremony_n and_o figure_n as_o end_v in_o he_o the_o substance_n of_o which_o figure_v the_o ark_n of_o the_o covenant_n under_o the_o old_a law_n be_v chief_a as_o jeremiah_n prophetical_o speak_v of_o the_o gospel_n time_n say_v in_o those_o dare_v say_v the_o lord_n they_o shall_v

etc._n etc._n now_o dear_a friend_n see_v we_o begin_v in_o the_o substance_n which_o be_v the_o appearance_n of_o christ_n jesus_n in_o spirit_n and_o power_n let_v all_o watch_n and_o be_v careful_a that_o they_o turn_v not_o aside_o lest_o by_o harken_v to_o the_o fleshly_a wisdom_n and_o carnal_a reason_n any_o of_o you_o fall_v back_o again_o into_o the_o natural_n where_o the_o shadow_n

that_o you_o have_v never_o know_v the_o way_n of_o truth_n viz._n better_a not_o only_o because_o it_o will_v be_v hard_a to_o return_v again_o than_o before_o your_o first_o convincement_n but_o also_o the_o fiery_a furnace_n through_o which_o such_o must_v pass_v will_v be_v hot_a because_o the_o state_n the_o backslider_n be_v fall_v into_o be_v aggravate_v by_o his_o be_v once_o

which_o stand_v or_o think_v they_o stand_v may_v take_v heed_n lest_o they_o fall_v for_o bless_a be_v the_o man_n that_o fear_v always_o because_o he_o that_o cast_v away_o true_a fear_n will_v
