advice_n from_o a_o father_n in_o the_o time_n of_o his_o weakness_n of_o body_n unto_o his_o tender_a child_n my_o dear_a child_n remember_v your_o creator_n in_o the_o day_n of_o your_o youth_n in_o your_o young_a year_n before_o the_o enemy_n of_o your_o soul_n draw_v your_o mind_n out_o into_o the_o wickedness_n and_o ungodliness_n of_o the_o world_n to_o defile_v your_o heart_n and_o mind_n with_o the_o wickedness_n and_o profaneness_n there_o of_o and_o so_o harden_v your_o heart_n in_o sin_n and_o ungodliness_n which_o will_v bring_v woe_n and_o misery_n upon_o your_o soul_n and_o anguish_n of_o spirit_n and_o bitter_a lamentation_n and_o provoke_v the_o anger_n of_o the_o lord_n against_o you_o this_o be_v the_o work_n of_o the_o destroyer_n of_o soul_n the_o devil_n who_o go_v about_o like_o a_o roar_a lion_n seek_v who_o he_o may_v devour_v and_o no_o soon_o child_n grow_v up_o to_o year_n of_o understanding_n but_o this_o enemy_n come_v to_o tempt_v they_o and_o draw_v they_o into_o evil_n and_o into_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o pure_a mind_n and_o will_n of_o the_o lord_n some_o into_o one_o thing_n and_o some_o into_o another_o according_a as_o they_o be_v natural_o incline_v some_o to_o wildness_n and_o rudeness_n some_o to_o pride_n some_o to_o stubborness_n and_o self-conceitedness_a some_o to_o one_o vanity_n and_o some_o to_o another_o this_o be_v the_o work_n of_o the_o destroyer_n therefore_o my_o child_n my_o advice_n to_o you_o in_o tender_a love_n be_v that_o you_o wait_v upon_o the_o lord_n in_o the_o stillness_n and_o coolness_n of_o your_o mind_n in_o the_o silence_n of_o all_o flesh_n or_o fleshly_a thought_n or_o cogitation_n that_o you_o may_v receive_v wisdom_n and_o strength_n from_o the_o lord_n to_o withstand_v the_o enemy_n of_o your_o soul_n for_o as_o it_o be_v write_v in_o the_o scripture_n of_o truth_n they_o that_o wait_v upon_o the_o lord_n shall_v renew_v their_o strength_n for_o none_o be_v able_a to_o overcome_v the_o enemy_n but_o they_o that_o know_v the_o renew_n of_o his_o strength_n for_o of_o yourselves_o as_o christ_n say_v you_o can_v do_v nothing_o and_o a_o overcome_a there_o must_v be_v or_o else_o not_o enter_v into_o that_o rest_n which_o be_v without_o end_n my_o dear_a child_n you_o have_v immortal_a soul_n that_o shall_v never_o die_v but_o shall_v be_v sensible_a either_o of_o everlasting_a joy_n and_o felicity_n with_o the_o lord_n and_o with_o the_o godly_a in_o generation_n past_a in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o unspeakable_a glory_n for_o evermore_o or_o for_o ever_o feel_v the_o anger_n and_o indignation_n of_o the_o lord_n with_o the_o wicked_a and_o ungodly_a in_o the_o hell_n of_o eternal_a woe_n and_o misery_n which_o be_v a_o deplorable_a state_n and_o as_o there_o be_v but_o these_o two_o state_n for_o the_o soul_n to_o remain_v in_o after_o death_n the_o one_o joy_n and_o comfort_n the_o other_o woe_n and_o misery_n so_o there_o be_v but_o two_o way_n the_o one_o be_v the_o straight_a and_o narrow_a way_n that_o lead_v to_o life_n the_o other_o the_o broad_a way_n that_o lead_v to_o the_o chamber_n of_o death_n so_o you_o see_v there_o be_v but_o one_o way_n to_o life_n eternal_a even_o the_o straight_a and_o narrow_a way_n although_o you_o will_v see_v many_o way_n in_o the_o world_n one_o say_v this_o be_v the_o way_n another_o sort_n say_v nay_o but_o this_o be_v the_o way_n and_o so_o various_a sort_n of_o religion_n in_o the_o world_n every_o one_o cry_v up_o their_o several_a notion_n to_o be_v the_o way_n to_o the_o city_n of_o peace_n and_o rest_n which_o upon_o your_o view_n of_o it_o in_o your_o mind_n may_v raise_v doubt_n and_o cause_v some_o consideration_n in_o your_o mind_n and_o from_o the_o consider_v of_o thing_n you_o may_v reason_n within_o yourselves_o here_o be_v many_o sort_n of_o way_n and_o religion_n in_o the_o world_n and_o all_o pretend_v to_o be_v the_o right_a way_n and_o how_o shall_v we_o do_v to_o know_v the_o one_o right_a way_n among_o those_o many_o way_n for_o there_o be_v but_o one_o right_a way_n and_o we_o may_v spend_v all_o our_o day_n in_o run_v from_o one_o religion_n to_o another_o to_o find_v the_o right_a way_n and_o may_v miss_v of_o it_o at_o last_o and_o so_o lie_v down_o our_o head_n in_o sorrow_n answer_n christ_n say_v he_o be_v the_o way_n the_o truth_n and_o the_o life_n and_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o scripture_n of_o truth_n that_o christ_n enlighten_v every_o one_o that_o come_v into_o the_o world_n and_o when_o christ_n talk_v with_o the_o woman_n at_o the_o well_o of_o samaria_n about_o worship_n and_o the_o place_n of_o worship_n there_o be_v at_o that_o day_n a_o difference_n between_o the_o samaritan_n and_o the_o jew_n about_o the_o place_n of_o worship_n as_o appear_v by_o the_o woman_n word_n to_o christ_n when_o she_o say_v our_o father_n worship_v in_o this_o mountain_n and_o you_o say_v that_o in_o jerusalem_n be_v the_o place_n where_o man_n ought_v to_o worship_v christ_n say_v woman_n believe_v i_o the_o hour_n come_v when_o you_o shall_v neither_o in_o this_o mountain_n nor_o yet_o at_o

when_o the_o true_a worshipper_n shall_v worship_v the_o father_n in_o spirit_n and_o in_o truth_n for_o the_o father_n seek_v such_o to_o worship_v he_o god_n be_v a_o spirit_n and_o they_o that_o

the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n in_o within_o you_o luk._n 17.21_o now_o if_o the_o kingdom_n be_v within_o of_o necessity_n must_v man_n guide_n be_v there_o also_o as_o the_o apostle_n say_v try_v

and_o stillness_n of_o your_o mind_n and_o counsel_v you_o will_v receive_v if_o you_o be_v like_a to_o faint_v in_o your_o travel_n christ_n the_o way_n will_v be_v as_o the_o shadow_n of_o a_o
