their_o heart_n shall_v turn_v away_o from_o god_n and_o serve_v other_o god_n see_v what_o a_o curse_n come_v upon_o they_o and_o therefore_o what_o do_v christ_n say_v unto_o all_o the_o left_a

in_o his_o go_v forth_o and_o come_v in_o and_o you_o may_v read_v in_o the_o scripture_n how_o many_o family_n nation_n and_o kingdom_n the_o lord_n do_v cut_v off_o because_o they_o do_v not_o obey_v nor_o keep_v his_o law_n as_o core_n and_o his_o family_n achan_n and_o his_o wicked_a haman_n and_o his_o and_o many_o other_o for_o transgress_v the_o law_n of_o god_n yea_o and_o he_o

serve_v god_n in_o the_o new_a life_n out_o of_o the_o life_n of_o old_a adam_n for_o if_o they_o do_v profess_v christ_n jesus_n the_o heavenly_a man_n and_o yet_o live_v in_o the_o old_a adam_n and_o serve_v sin_n and_o evil_a they_o must_v look_v for_o destruction_n both_o family_n and_o nation_n who_o profess_v god_n in_o word_n but_o deny_v he_o in_o their_o work_n life_n and_o

you_o not_o to_o the_o lord_n as_o child_n of_o the_o ethyopian_o what_o difference_n be_v between_o you_o it_o be_v not_o a_o profession_n and_o talk_v that_o make_v the_o difference_n but_o the_o possession_n of_o christ_n jer._n 38._o there_o you_o may_v see_v a_o ethyopian_a a_o black-moor_n how_o serviceable_a he_o be_v make_v unto_o jeremiah_n the_o lord_n prophet_n in_o the_o day_n of_o

neither_o any_o man_n or_o woman_n upon_o the_o face_n of_o the_o earth_n in_o that_o christ_n die_v for_o all_o both_o turk_n barbarian_n tartarian_n and_o ethyopian_o he_o die_v for_o the_o tawne_n

preach_v christ_n to_o he_o and_o therefore_o now_o you_o shall_v preach_v christ_n to_o your_o ethyopian_o that_o be_v in_o your_o family_n that_o so_o they_o may_v be_v free_a man_n indeed_o and_o be_v tender_a of_o and_o to_o they_o and_o walk_v in_o love_n that_o you_o may_v answer_v that_o of_o god_n in_o their_o heart_n be_v as_o the_o scripture_n affirm_v all_o of_o one_o blood_n &_o of_o one_o mould_n to_o dwell_v upon_o the_o face_n of_o the_o earth_n for_o christ_n i_o say_v shed_v his_o blood_n for_o they_o as_o well_o as_o for_o you_o and_o taste_v death_n for_o they_o as_o well_o as_o for_o you_o and_o have_v enlighten_v they_o as_o well_o as_o he_o have_v enlighten_v you_o and_o his_o grace_n have_v appear_v unto_o they_o as_o well_o as_o it_o have_v appear_v unto_o you_o and_o he_o be_v a_o propitiation_n for_o their_o sin_n as_o well_o as_o for_o you_o for_o he_o be_v the_o propitiation_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n and_o so_o let_v every_o master_n and_o governor_n of_o a_o family_n inform_v they_o as_o well_o as_o other_o in_o his_o family_n that_o so_o they_o may_v come_v to_o walk_v in_o the_o grace_n and_o in_o the_o light_n of_o jesus_n
