the_o comfort_n of_o meeting_n with_o his_o people_n common_o call_v quaker_n to_o wait_v on_o god_n forty_o year_n bypass_a and_o such_o that_o wait_v on_o god_n in_o sincerity_n and_o uprightness_n of_o heart_n according_a to_o god_n promise_n shall_v renew_v their_o strength_n for_o the_o power_n and_o presence_n of_o god_n be_v near_o to_o help_v such_o against_o all_o opposition_n

and_o walk_v more_o sincere_o for_o god_n love_v truth_n in_o the_o heart_n both_o of_o male_n and_o female_a and_o the_o holy_a glorious_a god_n have_v visited_n my_o soul_n and_o have_v show_v i_o

for_o which_o my_o soul_n magnify_v the_o glorious_a name_n of_o our_o god_n in_o covenant_n with_o his_o people_n and_o now_o i_o beseech_v all_o that_o in_o any_o measure_n have_v taste_v of_o the_o

to_o religion_n and_o the_o professor_n of_o it_o above_o eighty_o year_n ago_o and_o i_o can_v say_v as_o jacob_n do_v when_o he_o build_v a_o altar_n at_o bethel_n that_o god_n be_v with_o i_o though_o i_o know_v it_o not_o and_o i_o can_v do_v no_o less_o than_o admire_v the_o goodness_n of_o god_n in_o put_v his_o fear_n into_o my_o inward_a part_n that_o i_o dare_v not_o be_v so_o wanton_a and_o foolish_a as_o many_o other_o child_n be_v when_o i_o be_v but_o ten_o year_n old_a than_o i_o dwell_v with_o a_o zealous_a man_n call_v a_o puritan_n who_o be_v persecute_v for_o

of_o the_o bible_n by_o heart_n and_o about_o twelve_o year_n of_o age_n i_o come_v up_o to_o london_n and_o serve_v eight_o year_n of_o nine_o by_o indenture_n and_o be_v tender_a in_o my_o spirit_n towards_o god_n and_o my_o master_n die_v of_o the_o plague_n in_o the_o year_n 1625._o and_o i_o purchase_v the_o nine_o year_n but_o do_v not_o so_o well_o improve_v my_o time_n as_o i_o ought_v which_o when_o i_o come_v to_o consider_v cause_v sorrow_n to_o enter_v my_o soul_n and_o my_o countenance_n be_v change_v and_o i_o be_v exercise_v inward_o because_o of_o outward_a strait_n but_o god_n make_v use_v thereof_o to_o humble_v i_o and_o the_o word_n sound_v in_o i_o that_o god_n will_v humble_v i_o that_o he_o may_v do_v i_o good_a in_o the_o latter_a end_n and_o still_o my_o mind_n be_v exercise_v about_o religion_n and_o i_o keep_v house_n and_o servant_n twelve_o year_n before_o i_o take_v a_o wife_n and_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n in_o my_o soul_n preserve_v i_o from_o gross_a evil_n and_o now_o i_o may_v say_v something_o concern_v my_o suffer_a and_o banishment_n richard_n brown_n in_o 1660_o or_o 1661._o then_o mayor_n of_o london_n send_v i_o to_o newgate_n

sink_v yet_o my_o mind_n be_v sweet_o resign_v to_o die_v in_o the_o sea_n because_o my_o suffer_v be_v for_o truth_n and_o that_o do_v uphold_v i_o and_o all_o thought_n of_o outward_a thing_n come_v
