though_o your_o privilege_n be_v very_o great_a and_o your_o advantage_n much_o beyond_o other_o in_o that_o you_o have_v believe_v parent_n at_o least_o some_o of_o you_o who_o have_v be_v unto_o you_o good_a pattern_n of_o holiness_n and_o not_o only_o so_o 〈◊〉_d their_o soul_n have_v be_v often_o pour_v out_o unto_o the_o lord_n on_o your_o behalf_n that_o he_o may_v bless_v you_o with_o his_o heaveanly_a dayspring_n from_o on_o high_a and_o bring_v you_o unto_o his_o divine_a truth_n yet_o after_o all_o this_o and_o all_o the_o pain_n and_o care_n they_o use_v in_o your_o education_n if_o you_o come_v not_o to_o know_v some_o portion_n of_o the_o same_o life_n and_o quicken_a power_n in_o your_o own_o heart_n that_o wrought_v in_o the_o mind_n of_o those_o your_o tender_a parent_n or_o friend_n you_o will_v be_v as_o dead_a and_o lifeless_a and_o as_o certain_o unaceptable_a to_o the_o lord_n as_o any_o other_o child_n whatsoever_o and_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n advice_n to_o timothy_n be_v very_o expedient_a for_o you_o 2_o tim._n 1._o 6_o 7._o wherefore_o i_o put_v thou_o in_o remembrance_n that_o thou_o stir_v up_o the_o gift_n of_o god_n that_o be_v in_o thou_o and_o the_o unfeigned_a faith_n which_o dwell_v first_o thy_o parent_n for_o god_n have_v not_o give_v we_o the_o spirit_n of_o fear_n the_o spirit_n of_o carelessness_n and_o indifferency_n but_o of_o power_n of_o love_n and_o a_o sound_a mind_n now_o examine_v yourselves_o whether_o you_o have_v this_o spirit_n of_o power_n whether_o you_o have_v dominion_n over_o your_o soul_n enemy_n or_o whether_o your_o mind_n yet_o go_v after_o the_o earth_n or_o the_o vain_a custom_n or_o fashion_n of_o it_o if_o so_o you_o have_v not_o this_o spirit_n of_o power_n nor_o of_o the_o love_n of_o god_n and_o so_o be_v far_o from_o a_o sound_a mind_n therefore_o dear_a child_n be_v very_o watchful_a walk_v circumspect_o not_o as_o fool_n but_o as_o wise_a put_v away_o lie_v speak_v every_o one_o the_o truth_n to_o each_o other_o they_o be_v my_o people_n say_v the_o lord_n child_n that_o will_v not_o lie_n so_o he_o be_v their_o father_n mark_v god_n be_v a_o father_n to_o those_o who_o will_v not_o lie_v here_o be_v a_o glorious_a privilege_n that_o you_o be_v call_v to_o even_o to_o be_v child_n of_o god_n be_v careful_a likewise_o that_o none_o of_o you_o be_v busy-body_n meddle_v with_o the_o affair_n of_o other_o or_o ready_a to_o carry_v tale_n and_o story_n for_o this_o will_v certain_o corrupt_v your_o mind_n from_o the_o simplicity_n of_o the_o truth_n and_o it_o will_v make_v you_o idle_a and_o impertinent_a that_o the_o lord_n will_v have_v no_o regard_n unto_o you_o nor_o his_o people_n any_o respect_n for_o you_o and_o let_v all_o take_v care_n that_o they_o study_v not_o to_o outdo_v one_o another_o in_o clothes_n and_o dress_n as_o who_o shall_v be_v fine_a but_o rather_o dear_a child_n and_o young_a people_n if_o there_o be_v a_o emulation_n betwixt_o you_o let_v it_o be_v who_o shall_v be_v humble_a and_o who_o shall_v be_v low_a for_o it_o be_v the_o lowly_a god_n exalt_v and_o the_o meek_a he_o guide_v in_o judgement_n and_o with_o the_o humble_a he_o will_v abide_v and_o this_o i_o have_v to_o say_v where_o that_o over-earnest_a desire_n be_v to_o appear_v as_o fine_a as_o other_o though_o with_o such_o thing_n as_o may_v seem_v plain_a yet_o pride_n creep_v in_o under_o that_o spirit_n and_o your_o profession_n will_v no_o more_o keep_v you_o out_o of_o the_o reach_n of_o the_o enemy_n power_n than_o it_o do_v those_o who_o wear_v lace_n fringe_n and_o ribbon_n but_o you_o will_v as_o real_o fall_v under_o the_o just_a judgement_n of_o the_o righteous_a god_n as_o any_o other_o proud_a people_n whatsoever_o i_o have_v this_o likewise_o to_o tell_v you_o that_o it_o be_v your_o duty_n to_o be_v very_o careful_a of_o what_o acquaintance_n and_o society_n you_o use_v yourselves_o to_o that_o you_o may_v keep_v out_o of_o the_o world_n way_n and_o fellowship_n and_o that_o you_o who_o be_v young_a boy_n and_o girl_n may_v not_o run_v with_o they_o in_o their_o play_n and_o sport_n but_o may_v be_v grave_a and_o sober_a as_o become_v those_o profess_v godliness_n for_o be_v assure_v such_o as_o your_o companion_n be_v such_o be_v you_o like_v to_o be_v in_o a_o short_a time_n and_o therefore_o it_o behoove_v you_o to_o seek_v after_o the_o society_n of_o sober_a friend_n and_o such_o as_o love_v truth_n that_o your_o love_n thereto_o may_v grow_v and_o increase_v and_o the_o lord_n may_v kindle_v a_o zeal_n in_o your_o spirit_n and_o make_v you_o serviceable_a to_o he_o in_o the_o day_n of_o your_o youth_n and_o dear_a child_n be_v careful_a likewise_o to_o frequent_a meeting_n and_o to_o sit_v sober_o and_o in_o good_a order_n when_o you_o be_v there_o and_o think_v not_o that_o it_o be_v enough_o to_o appear_v there_o with_o your_o body_n while_o your_o mind_n go_v astray_o from_o the_o lord_n but_o know_v the_o lord_n abhor_v that_o sacrifice_n and_o have_v regard_n to_o the_o diligent_a and_o careful_a who_o mind_n be_v exercise_v in_o his_o law_n and_o who_o be_v under_o a_o holy_a awe_n and_o fear_n lest_o they_o shall_v come_v short_a of_o that_o inheritance_n to_o the_o which_o god_n have_v call_v they_o i_o believe_v you_o be_v not_o without_o your_o enemy_n who_o when_o he_o have_v a_o little_a cloud_v the_o mind_n endeavour_n to_o be_v wild_a it_o by_o draw_v it_o into_o many_o thought_n wander_v up_o and_o down_o in_o a_o multitude_n of_o unnecessary_a

to_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o must_v therefore_o be_v watch_v against_o diligent_o and_o let_v your_o earnset_n and_o hearty_a petition_n be_v to_o the_o lord_n that_o he_o may_v perserve_v you_o out_o of_o those_o evil_n for_o where_o these_o thing_n become_v habitual_a or_o customary_a to_o a_o people_n such_o in_o time_n lose_v the_o sense_n of_o god_n refreshment_n &_o the_o renewing_n of_o life_n and_o power_n which_o he_o communicate_v tohis_fw-la watchful_a people_n therefore_o dear_a friend_n be_v concern_v god_n wait_v to_o be_v gracious_a to_o you_o my_o
