of_o god_n mr._n feake_n and_o if_o i_o can_v have_v my_o liberty_n of_o conscience_n with_o a_o brother_n in_o our_o public_a meeting-place_n i_o will_v seek_v after_o his_o fellowship_n and_o

have_v receive_v and_o can_v full_o and_o free_o administer_v unto_o we_o for_o the_o relief_n of_o our_o need_n and_o necessity_n shall_v all_o our_o potato_n pie_n our_o calves-foot_n pie_n our_o

the_o creature_n common_a for_o we_o saint_n and_o shall_v we_o like_o drowsy_a and_o cowardly_a fool_n be_v scare_v and_o terrify_v out_o of_o our_o comfort_n by_o a_o little_a paper-stuff_n no_o no_o my_o husband_n silk_n and_o satin_n shall_v fly_v for_o it_o but_o i_o will_v keep_v up_o our_o prerogative_n which_o have_v be_v so_o pious_o contend_v for_o by_o all_o our_o brethren_n beyond_o the_o sea_n for_o many_o year_n and_o for_o which_o the_o saint_n of_o late_o lose_v their_o life_n and_o more_o will_v follow_v er're_o it_o be_v long_o if_o the_o reprobate_n shall_v prevail_v against_o we_o which_o i_o hope_v they_o never_o shall_v be_v able_a till_o we_o have_v utter_o destroy_v they_o upon_o the_o face_n of_o the_o earth_n charity_n in_o good_a sooth_n sister_n patience_n i_o concur_v with_o you_o in_o opinion_n and_o i_o further_o add_v somewhat_o of_o my_o own_o that_o i_o hold_v it_o both_o unnatural_a and_o unreasonable_a that_o if_o we_o be_v no_o more_o than_o rational_a creature_n as_o we_o be_v not_o we_o shall_v have_v less_o freedom_n and_o liberty_n in_o congregate_a together_o with_o holy_a man_n than_o be_v permit_v in_o the_o order_n of_o nature_n to_o mere_a bruit_n beast_n and_o fowl_n which_o have_v no_o understanding_n to_o gather_v themselves_o into_o sociable_a herd_n and_o flock_n and_o do_v those_o thing_n in_o common_a one_o with_o another_o as_o their_o appetite_n incite_v they_o much_o more_o therefore_o since_o that_o we_o be_v saint_n and_o pure_a and_o holy_a sister_n of_o the_o brethren_n who_o be_v perfect_a and_o righteous_a man_n shall_v we_o have_v in_o charity_n our_o free_a and_o absolute_a permission_n and_o toleration_n to_o do_v what_o we_o will_v for_o as_o much_o as_o the_o brethren_n go_v the_o right_a way_n to_o work_v with_o we_o and_o do_v not_o tempt_v we_o to_o folly_n and_o filthiness_n as_o the_o carnal_a and_o sinful_a

man_n of_o the_o world_n use_v to_o do_v with_o the_o rest_n of_o our_o unsanctified_a sex_n but_o what_o they_o do_v to_o we_o they_o do_v it_o with_o sobriety_n and_o discretion_n and_o in_o pure_a love_n and_o affection_n that_o they_o may_v raise_v up_o a_o holy_a generation_n of_o young_a saint_n who_o may_v only_o know_v their_o father_n after_o the_o spirit_n and_o not_o after_o the_o flesh_n as_o the_o child_n of_o the_o world_n do_v though_o there_o be_v twenty_o of_o the_o brethren_n contribute_v to_o the_o beget_n of_o one_o little_a saint_n for_o charity_n be_v the_o bond_n of_o all_o perfection_n and_o love_n be_v the_o fulfil_n of_o the_o law_n and_o therefore_o if_o a_o brother_n and_o sister_n be_v spiritual_o move_v and_o incline_v in_o a_o holy_a love_n and_o charitable_a respect_n to_o propagate_v and_o increase_v the_o number_n of_o the_o faithful_a no_o time_n or_o place_n or_o person_n ought_v to_o restrain_v or_o bar_v they_o from_o do_v so_o good_a a_o work_n wherefore_o my_o opinion_n be_v that_o the_o proclamation_n be_v not_o bind_v of_o we_o in_o charity_n religion_n and_o conscience_n nor_o be_v there_o any_o carnal_a power_n above_o the_o privilege_n of_o we_o saint_n and_o therefore_o i_o will_v never_o submit_v to_o it_o as_o long_o as_o i_o breath_n faith_n good_a sister_n i_o believe_v you_o to_o be_v in_o the_o right_a and_o as_o our_o sister_n rebecca_n have_v often_o expound_v to_o we_o the_o word_n i_o be_o confirm_v that_o we_o be_v above_o all_o principality_n and_o power_n in_o the_o world_n except_o the_o power_n of_o darkness_n and_o shall_v bring_v they_o all_o into_o subjection_n under_o our_o foot_n and_o therefore_o we_o will_v meet_v with_o our_o belove_a brethren_n though_o it_o be_v at_o the_o gallow_n rather_o than_o we_o will_v loose_v their_o brotherly_a communion_n and_o if_o any_o of_o those_o wicked_a man_n which_o call_v themselves_o our_o husband_n will_v not_o give_v we_o way_n to_o do_v as_o we_o listen_v but_o shall_v seek_v to_o control_v and_o require_v we_o to_o go_v along_o with_o they_o to_o their_o steeple-house_n and_o conform_v ourselves_o to_o their_o baal_n priest_n we_o will_v forsake_v and_o leave_v their_o wicked_a company_n and_o betake_v we_o to_o our_o brethren_n copulation_n and_o conjunction_n with_o we_o where_o and_o when_o and_o how_o the_o spirit_n shall_v move_v we_o to_o it_o temperance_n this_o be_v very_o fine_a indeed_o what_o must_v we_o meet_v no_o more_o together_o forsooth_o but_o we_o will_v by_o my_o consent_n in_o despite_n of_o all_o the_o train_n band_n of_o the_o city_n a_o proclamation_n out_o upon_o it_o it_o be_v but_o one_o of_o the_o bull_n of_o the_o whore_n of_o babylon_n and_o shall_v we_o be_v fright_v and_o dishearten_v by_o a_o little_a paper-bull_n that_o fear_v not_o nor_o stand_v in_o awe_n of_o the_o great_a bull_n of_o bashan_n our_o husband_n come_v come_v sister_n let_v we_o make_v a_o collection_n and_o provide_v

their_o keeper_n take_v off_o that_o since_o we_o can_v enjoy_v they_o with_o we_o here_o in_o freedom_n they_o may_v free_o enjoy_v we_o with_o they_o in_o their_o restraint_n and_o confinement_n for_o which_o purpose_n the_o foreman_n of_o our_o shop_n have_v already_o prog_v for_o i_o unknown_a to_o his_o wicked_a master_n this_o bag_n of_o money_n and_o rather_o than_o our_o brethren_n
