dear_a and_o true_o belove_v in_o the_o everlasting_a seed_n and_o holy_a covenant_n of_o life_n eternal_a do_v my_o soul_n salute_v you_o with_o love_n unfeigned_a for_o by_o the_o same_o holy_a pure_a spirit_n by_o which_o we_o have_v be_v comfort_v and_o refresh_v in_o one_o another_o many_o a_o time_n when_o we_o have_v be_v together_o by_o the_o same_o be_v you_o bring_v to_o my_o remembrance_n and_o my_o spirit_n give_v thanks_o to_o god_n daily_o on_o your_o behalf_n to_o who_o i_o be_o knit_v and_o unite_v by_o a_o bond_n inseparable_a because_o of_o your_o preservation_n in_o the_o faith_n and_o patience_n of_o jesus_n our_o lord_n that_o though_o the_o mountain_n have_v swell_v to_o a_o great_a height_n and_o the_o wave_n of_o the_o rage_a sea_n have_v roll_v so_o violent_o against_o the_o rock_n of_o your_o dwell_n yet_o you_o be_v where_o you_o be_v and_o your_o faith_n be_v confirm_v through_o your_o tribulation_n and_o your_o patience_n enlarge_v through_o the_o experience_n thereof_o oh_o dear_a lamb_n what_o have_v our_o god_n do_v for_o we_o his_o arm_n have_v be_v underneath_o in_o all_o our_o trial_n else_o we_o must_v needs_o have_v faint_v long_o ever_o now_o but_o herein_o do_v my_o soul_n rejoice_v that_o your_o testimony_n do_v live_v and_o that_o all_o the_o strength_n of_o darkness_n ha●h_v not_o sl●●●_n it_o but_o it_o remain_v as_o a_o crown_n upon_o your_o head_n oh_o my_o dear_a friend_n let_v no_o man_n take_v away_o this_o your_o crown_n and_o let_v none_o lose_v the_o price_n he_o have_v already_o pay_v for_o if_o any_o man_n suffer_v his_o testimony_n to_o fall_v after_o he_o have_v begin_v to_o bear_v it_o he_o lose_v his_o suffering_n that_o he_o have_v suffer_v and_o it_o be_v not_o account_v unto_o he_o but_o as_o a_o reproach_n as_o he_o that_o begin_v to_o build_v a_o house_n and_o can_v not_o finish_v it_o therefore_o dear_a heart_n you_o that_o have_v this_o glorious_a testimony_n of_o salvation_n and_o life_n commit_v unto_o you_o be_v tender_a and_o careful_a of_o it_o as_o of_o your_o most_o choice_a treasure_n &_o count_v it_o not_o a_o small_a thing_n that_o god_n have_v do_v for_o you_o for_o no_o honour_n be_v like_a unto_o this_o honour_n nor_o no_o freedom_n be_v like_o the_o be_v a_o faithful_a servant_n of_o god_n for_o it_o have_v the_o reward_n of_o this_o life_n and_o of_o that_o which_o be_v to_o come_v but_o alas_o my_o dear_a friend_n none_o can_v accomplish_v this_o bless_a testimony_n in_o these_o day_n of_o trial_n but_o those_o alone_a who_o know_v the_o daily_a renew_n of_o that_o power_n by_o which_o we_o be_v call_v unto_o it_o and_o none_o feel_v those_o renewing_n but_o they_o that_o daily_o wait_v upon_o the_o lord_n who_o be_v the_o well_o spring_n of_o all_o our_o strength_n and_o refreshment_n and_o when_o so_o ever_o any_o come_v to_o slight_v their_o watch_n and_o to_o neglect_v their_o wait_n upon_o god_n they_o be_v but_o as_o those_o that_o forsake_v the_o fountain_n and_o grow_v into_o dryness_n and_o barrenness_n and_o become_v unfruitful_a to_o god_n or_o their_o own_o good_a therefore_o keep_v your_o dependence_n upon_o the_o lord_n that_o you_o may_v abide_v for_o he_o abide_v and_o they_o that_o be_v build_v upon_o he_o alone_o do_v also_o abide_v unto_o the_o end_n for_o it_o be_v the_o unchangeable_a power_n which_o make_v you_o unchangeable_a in_o your_o testimony_n and_o as_o you_o dwell_v in_o that_o you_o have_v the_o promise_n and_o can_v be_v bring_v to_o naught_o as_o many_o have_v be_v who_o have_v be_v exalt_v in_o the_o knowledge_n and_o grow_v careless_a of_o the_o cross_n who_o be_v already_o fall_v and_o set_v forth_o as_o lot_n wife_n once_o be_v as_o exampse_n of_o the_o judgement_n of_o god_n but_o such_o as_o have_v their_o depondance_n upon_o the_o lord_n alone_o fe●l●_n alw●●es_v cause_n in_o themselves_o to_o be_v humble_a and_o low_o mind_v and_o although_o they_o be_v join_v to_o the_o

to_o that_o which_o be_v eternal_a and_o not_o to_o the_o creature_n though_o never_o so_o pure_a and_o they_o who_o thus_o in_o the_o true_a humility_n give_v the_o honour_n of_o their_o stand_n and_o preservation_n unto_o the_o lord_n and_o not_o unto_o themselves_o nor_o their_o part_n wit_n understanding_n nor_o resolution_n these_o do_v god_n sufficient_o honour_v with_o his_o glory_n and_o presence_n and_o support_v they_o in_o all_o their_o exercise_n but_o who_o ever_o come_v to_o disregard_n the_o power_n and_o think_v to_o stand_v by_o what_o he_o know_v and_o have_v see_v he_o stand_v but_o in_o a_o slippery_a place_n and_o dear_a friend_n and_o brethren_n remember_v to_o keep_v holy_a the_o sabbath_n of_o the_o lord_n our_o god_n which_o be_v now_o come_v and_o see_v

that_o where_o the_o treasure_n be_v the_o heart_n will_v also_o be_v so_o that_o who_o heart_n be_v in_o a_o wife_n in_o a_o husband_n in_o child_n in_o trade_n in_o riches_n in_o house_n and_o
