will_v you_o not_o think_v it_o very_o hard_a to_o be_v so_o deal_v by_o oh_o come_v and_o be_v try_v by_o your_o own_o rule_n and_o read_v from_o the_o begin_n to_o the_o end_n and_o see_v whether_o

as_o you_o be_v who_o crucify_v christ_n and_o set_v your_o original_a over_o his_o head_n of_o greek_a hebrew_n and_o latin_a and_o they_o count_v he_o of_o too_o low_a a_o degree_n for_o they_o to_o receive_v and_o they_o mock_v and_o scoff_v and_o deride_v he_o and_o thereby_o manifest_v their_o enmity_n against_o he_o and_o his_o follower_n then_o as_o you_o do_v you_o now_o against_o we_o come_v down_o you_o highminded_a persecutor_n and_o bow_v before_o the_o lord_n and_o turn_v to_o his_o witness_n in_o your_o heart_n which_o reprove_v you_o in_o secret_n and_o testify_v for_o we_o

all_o flesh_n and_o my_o son_n and_o my_o daughter_n shall_v prophesy_v mark_v it_o be_v the_o son_n and_o daughter_n of_o the_o lord_n that_o be_v lead_v by_o his_o spirit_n and_o not_o the_o

so_o with_o you_o who_o have_v go_v this_o many_o year_n for_o i_o go_v with_o as_o much_o zeal_n as_o any_o of_o you_o therefore_o let_v not_o your_o blind_a zeal_n deceive_v you_o i_o turn_v not_o

he_o think_v when_o he_o be_v in_o darkness_n and_o blind_a zeal_n that_o he_o do_v as_o he_o shall_v do_v oh_o therefore_o take_v you_o heed_n and_o be_v no_o long_o deceive_v but_o turn_v unto_o
