A49268	An epistle to all young convinced friends whom the Lord hath reached by His mighty power, and separated from the world, and turned their hearts, so as to forsake father, and mother, wife, and children, for his name sake. By way of exhortation and encouragement, by one whom the Lord hath greatly encouraged, and fulfilled the saying of the prophet Malachi, by by turning the hearts of his parents and dear relations to him.	Love, John, d. 1721.	1696 (1696)	Wing L3190; ESTC R216630	5,220	11

by_o the_o lord_n power_n in_o which_o we_o have_v be_v make_v to_o sit_v together_o in_o the_o enjoyment_n thereof_o so_o dear_a friend_n i_o be_v in_o the_o love_n of_o god_n draw_v forth_o to_o
