all_o truth_n mark_n into_o all_o truth_n and_o be_v all_o there_o be_v nothing_o want_v which_o be_v attain_v in_o the_o leading_n of_o the_o spirit_n the_o soul_n come_v into_o everlasting_a rest_n in_o god_n and_o so_o by_o the_o leading_n of_o the_o spirit_n there_o be_v a_o growth_n in_o the_o truth_n and_o a_o pass_v on_o from_o one_o degree_n to_o another_o until_o the_o fullness_n be_v

may_v grow_v and_o prosper_v for_o as_o the_o truth_n be_v live_v in_o according_a to_o measure_n there_o be_v a_o growth_n to_o be_v feel_v and_o witness_v in_o it_o a_o growth_n in_o understanding_n grow_v up_o from_o child_n to_o young_a man_n and_o from_o young_a man_n to_o ancient_n and_o so_o in_o understanding_n come_v to_o be_v man_n not_o by_o apprehension_n and_o conceive_n but_o by_o

which_o have_v be_v manifest_v by_o any_o practice_n out_o of_o the_o truth_n that_o come_v to_o die_v for_o as_o the_o root_n be_v destroy_v so_o do_v the_o branch_n die_v and_o then_o the_o truth_n branch_v forth_o in_o its_o own_o nature_n and_o manifest_v itself_o according_a to_o its_o nature_n and_o that_o be_v the_o principal_a of_o all_o good_a work_n and_o the_o good_a work_n which_o be_v wrought_v and_o manifest_v by_o it_o they_o be_v of_o god_n and_o be_v of_o god_n they_o be_v truth_n for_o there_o be_v not_o any_o thing_n beside_o he_o true_a and_o all_o good_a work_n that_o be_v wrought_v in_o he_o and_o manifest_v from_o he_o they_o be_v approve_v by_o he_o and_o so_o they_o that_o have_v true_a faith_n they_o have_v good_a work_n also_o yea_o such_o good_a work_n as_o may_v

for_o it_o be_v the_o principle_n that_o make_v the_o practice_n true_a and_o not_o the_o practice_n that_o make_v the_o principle_n true_a but_o where_o the_o practice_n of_o any_o do_v whole_o

but_o where_o the_o practice_n of_o truth_n stand_v in_o the_o principle_n of_o truth_n there_o be_v the_o nature_n of_o the_o root_n manifest_v by_o the_o branch_n and_o so_o the_o tree_n be_v good_a and_o the_o fruit_n be_v good_a and_o will_v not_o many_o speak_v well_o of_o the_o life_n of_o such_o as_o live_v in_o the_o practice_n of_o truth_n and_o yet_o speak_v evil_a of_o their_o

righteousness_n than_o people_n may_v have_v some_o cause_n to_o say_v that_o their_o principle_n be_v delusion_n and_o they_o a_o delude_a people_n but_o if_o it_o be_v so_o as_o their_o life_n do_v

such_o as_o be_v lead_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n and_o be_v manifest_v from_o the_o spirit_n as_o fruit_n of_o its_o nature_n and_o where_o it_o be_v not_o so_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n
