unto_o this_o power_n none_o be_v to_o be_v subject_a for_o conscience_n sake_n but_o for_o conscience_n sake_n suffer_v according_a to_o my_o will_n because_o it_o be_v that_o which_o prevail_v

say_v the_o lord_n god_n and_o see_v whether_o you_o have_v not_o be_v crucify_a to_o yourselves_o my_o son_n who_o i_o have_v send_v a_o light_n into_o the_o world_n and_o so_o have_v crucify_a and_o

the_o righteous_a seed_n even_o my_o son_n and_o daughter_n say_v the_o lord_n which_o i_o have_v choose_v out_o of_o the_o world_n to_o bear_v witness_n to_o my_o name_n for_o have_v you_o know_v and_o own_v i_o you_o will_v have_v know_v and_o own_a my_o servant_n son_n and_o daughter_n also_o but_o my_o word_n be_v fulfil_v if_o they_o have_v persecute_v i_o they_o will_v also_o persecute_v

i_o the_o lord_n god_n be_o he_o who_o search_v

your_o heart_n and_o show_v unto_o you_o your_o thought_n and_o the_o intent_n of_o your_o heart_n now_o enter_v you_o into_o my_o secret_a place_n common_a with_o your_o own_o heart_n and_o be_v

against_o you_o and_o also_o will_v come_v near_o unto_o you_o in_o judgement_n to_o plead_v with_o you_o and_o this_o will_v i_o do_v to_o try_v you_o even_o as_o i_o have_v try_v they_o that_o have_v go_v before_o you_o and_o if_o you_o will_v not_o endure_v my_o judgement_n but_o turn_v they_o to_o gall_n and_o wormwood_n and_o kick_v at_o they_o with_o the_o heel_n as_o they_o do_v then_o will_v i_o come_v against_o you_o in_o my_o fury_n as_o i_o do_v to_o they_o and_o this_o i_o do_v to_o have_v heal_v they_o but_o they_o will_v not_o be_v heal_v therefore_o be_v they_o everturn_v for_o thus_o say_v the_o lord_n god_n i_o even_o i_o be_o he_o that_o wound_n and_o heal_v and_o kill_v and_o make_v alive_a and_o now_o if_o you_o will_v not_o suffer_v yourselves_o to_o be_v wound_v then_o shall_v you_o not_o be_v heal_v and_o if_o not_o kill_v you_o shall_v not_o be_v make_v alive_a for_o he_o that_o save_v his_o life_n shall_v lose_v it_o and_o he_o that_o lose_v his_o life_n for_o my_o sake_n shall_v find_v it_o if_o any_o can_v receive_v this_o let_v he_o receive_v it_o and_o now_o o_o you_o ruler_n and_o magistrate_n be_v it_o not_o time_n for_o you_o to_o know_v judgement_n therefore_o flight_n not_o the_o day_n of_o your_o visitation_n for_o this_o be_v it_o wherein_o i_o the_o lord_n god_n be_o warn_v you_o and_o prove_v you_o whether_o you_o will_v now_o turn_v unto_o i_o at_o my_o reproof_n and_o now_o go_v to_o and_o see_v whether_o my_o witness_n i_o have_v place_v in_o you_o will_v not_o testify_v against_o you_o that_o i_o will_v often_o have_v gather_v you_o but_o you_o like_a to_o old_a jerusalem_n will_v not_o be_v gather_v therefore_o if_o you_o will_v not_o be_v gather_v but_o continue_v in_o your_o rebellion_n against_o i_o this_o shall_v you_o have_v at_o my_o hand_n you_o shall_v be_v scatter_v who_o despise_v the_o riches_n of_o my_o goodness_n forbearance_n and_o long_o suffer_v and_o my_o goodness_n lead_v you_o not_o to_o repentance_n but_o after_o the_o hardness_n and_o impenitency_n of_o your_o heart_n treasure_n up_o to_o yourselves_o wrath_n against_o the_o day_n of_o wrath_n and_o revelation_n of_o my_o righteous_a judgement_n for_o according_a to_o your_o deed_n will_v i_o reward_v you_o say_v the_o lord_n but_o my_o desire_n towards_o you_o be_v as_o my_o witness_n in_o all_o your_o conscience_n will_v testify_v unto_o you_o which_o have_v not_o consent_v to_o your_o sin_n nor_o take_v delight_n in_o your_o destruction_n but_o that_o you_o may_v all_o live_v and_o not_o die_v and_o now_o thus_o say_v the_o lord_n god_n if_o you_o will_v turn_v now_o unto_o i_o and_o keep_v my_o judgement_n and_o not_o depart_v from_o my_o counsel_n then_o will_v i_o heal_v you_o which_o if_o you_o love_v the_o light_n and_o come_v to_o the_o light_n and_o bow_v down_o unto_o it_o and_o believe_v in_o it_o and_o diligent_o hearken_v to_o it_o then_o will_v you_o come_v to_o know_v true_a judgement_n wisdom_n understanding_n and_o the_o fear_n of_o i_o even_o the_o true_a power_n in_o which_o you_o shall_v rule_v and_o govern_v the_o nation_n but_o if_o you_o reject_v the_o light_n then_o do_v you_o reject_v i_o and_o put_v away_o true_a judgement_n from_o you_o and_o go_v from_o my_o power_n in_o which_o you_o shall_v rule_v and_o therefore_o o_o you_o magistrate_n be_v you_o warn_v from_o i_o say_v the_o lord_n god_n that_o you_o go_v not_o from_o my_o counsel_n for_o then_o woe_n be_v to_o you_o if_o you_o turn_v from_o my_o prophet_n which_o i_o have_v raise_v up_o

the_o nation_n you_o will_v not_o know_v because_o you_o delight_v not_o to_o know_v i_o say_v the_o lord_n therefore_o be_v you_o all_o warn_v now_o you_o have_v time_n that_o you_o prize_v it_o
