A47148	A general epistle to Friends by way of caution to take heed to the light, that they may be preserved from that lazy, idle spirit that veils the life.	Keith, George, 1639?-1716.	1671 (1671)	Wing K171; ESTC R30482	5,600	10

world_n have_v his_o corrupt_a way_n and_o custom_n which_o savour_v not_o of_o a_o noble_a and_o virtuous_a spirit_n as_o the_o corrupt_a of_o man_n and_o woman_n name_n as_o with_o respect_n of_o person_n for_o john_n to_o say_v jonie_n for_o james_n to_o jamie_n and_o the_o like_a which_o have_v not_o a_o good_a savour_n but_o savour_v of_o that_o corrupt_a spirit_n which_o spoil_n and_o corrupt_v all_o thing_n and_o friend_n you_o know_v the_o world_n life_n and_o recreation_n be_v in_o word_n and_o discourse_n and_o if_o they_o have_v no_o profanity_n and_o scurrility_n in_o it_o than_o they_o think_v all_o be_v well_o how_o much_o soever_o they_o talk_v and_o spend_v time_n in_o unbrofitable_a discourse_n which_o after_o it_o be_v all_o do_v serve_v for_o no_o other_o end_n but_o to_o ease_v and_o refresh_v that_o which_o weary_v in_o silence_n and_o in_o silent_a wait_v upon_o god_n but_o kill_v and_o hurt_v the_o tender_a life_n of_o god_n for_o if_o even_o the_o letter_n kill_v when_o a_o man_n speak_v the_o letter_n of_o the_o scripture_n and_o not_o in_o a_o right_a spirit_n how_o much_o more_o do_v that_o kill_v which_o be_v bad_a both_o as_o to_o the_o

all_o both_o hearer_n and_o speaker_n but_o when_o word_n be_v utter_v from_o a_o contrary_a life_n and_o spirit_n yea_o though_o true_a and_o good_a word_n they_o deaden_a and_o burt_v the_o seed_n of_o god_n but_o they_o stir_v up_o and_o refresh_v the_o bad_a seed_n the_o seed_n of_o the_o evil-doer_n that_o be_v for_o judgement_n and_o many_o time_n the_o effect_n of_o those_o idle_a and_o

gird_v about_o and_o truss_v up_o and_o if_o you_o be_v diligent_a in_o apply_v your_o mind_n to_o the_o truth_n and_o life_n of_o christ_n j●sus_n in_o you_o than_o all_o laziness_n and_o heaviness_n and_o weariness_n of_o mind_n will_v vanish_v and_o the_o mind_n will_v be_v compose_v and_o order_v and_o that_o will_v make_v a_o well_o compose_v and_o well_o order_v body_n so_o that_o no_o

be_v a_o evil_a savour_n but_o if_o the_o mind_n be_v lazy_a and_o sluggish_a and_o love_v not_o its_o present_a work_n it_o ought_v to_o be_v about_o which_o be_v to_o wait_v upon_o the_o lord_n then_o will_v sign_n of_o it_o appear_v as_o in_o particular_a to_o gape_v or_o gaunt_a in_o a_o meeting_n be_v a_o ready_a sign_n of_o a_o mind_n that_o be_v slothful_a and_o be_v not_o present_v nor_o diligent_a in_o its_o attendance_n unto_o truth_n though_o such_o a_o thing_n may_v lie_v near_o to_o some_o true_a and_o honest_a friend_n and_o it_o may_v come_v upon_o they_o at_o unawar_n and_o i_o very_o believe_v many_o have_v not_o a_o clear_a sight_n of_o the_o thing_n nor_o know_v not_o the_o hurt_n of_o it_o but_o a_o hurt_n it_o be_v and_o of_o no_o good_a savour_n at_o any_o time_n but_o much_o less_o at_o meet_v for_o it_o be_v that_o which_o even_o many_o man_n but_o as_o man_n can_v observe_v that_o when_o a_o man_n gape_v or_o gaun_n in_o any_o exercife_n he_o be_v find_v in_o it_o show_v a_o mind_n that_o be_v slack_a and_o be_v not_o present_a or_o diligent_a therein_o and_o beside_o the_o hurt_n that_o this_o thing_n of_o gape_v do_v in_o one_o one_o particular_a it_o hurt_v the_o general_a both_o that_o it_o be_v a_o evil_a savour_n and_o also_o that_o it_o beget_v other_o into_o the_o same_o if_o not_o watch_v against_o so_o that_o one_o gape_v other_o will_v gape_v also_o by_o a_o certain_a secret_a influence_n which_o i_o have_v often_o observe_v with_o many_o other_o and_o this_o be_v not_o only_o a_o sign_n of_o laziness_n and_o weariness_n of_o mind_n but_o also_o feed_v it_o yet_o if_o it_o be_v watch_v against_a it_o may_v be_v resist_v and_o put_v back_o as_o i_o have_v have_v frequent_a experience_n and_o if_o at_o any_o time_n it_o so_o come_v upon_o any_o that_o they_o can_v stop_v it_o yet_o they_o may_v cover_v it_o by_o stop_v the_o noise_n of_o it_o and_o cover_v the_o mouth_n with_o the_o hand_n or_o napkin_n that_o it_o appear_v not_o but_o the_o way_n to_o be_v rid_v of_o it_o and_o get_v victory_n over_o it_o be_v by_o come_v to_o a_o diligent_a attendance_n of_o mind_n into_o the_o truth_n and_o this_o will_v put_v it_o quite_o away_o yea_o it_o will_v compose_v the_o whole_a man_n and_o body_n so_o that_o no_o mark_n of_o either_o weariness_n or_o wander_v of_o mind_n will_v appear_v dear_a
