to_o be_v evil_o speak_v of_o and_o he_o may_v expect_v to_o bear_v the_o displeasure_n of_o the_o lord_n for_o so_o do_v and_o as_o for_o john_n swinton_n in_o what_o he_o have_v write_v against_o friend_n the_o lord_n do_v not_o own_o it_o for_o it_o do_v not_o proceed_v from_o his_o own_o power_n and_o spirit_n and_o therefore_o the_o witness_n of_o god_n in_o his_o people_n do_v deny_v it_o

of_o his_o people_n for_o its_o acceptation_n but_o be_v testify_v against_o because_o it_o be_v for_o condemnation_n therefore_o john_n swinton_n have_v better_o never_o have_v write_v the_o same_o

according_a to_o john_n account_n and_o turn_v into_o the_o earthly_a employment_n and_o lie_v hide_v under_o the_o earth_n and_o no_o more_o appear_v for_o the_o lord_n and_o his_o truth_n so_o that_o it_o appear_v his_o ministry_n stand_v in_o his_o own_o will_n to_o dispense_v with_o and_o now_o he_o be_v lay_v aside_o as_o one_o useless_a and_o whereas_o he_o say_v he_o can_v not_o bear_v that_o the_o gospel_n shall_v be_v chargeable_a on_o his_o part_n but_o be_v willing_a to_o lay_v forth_o his_o all_o for_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n sake_n that_o be_v concern_v therein_o that_o be_v

perrot_n in_o that_o letter_n from_o jamaica_n say_v he_o be_v toss_v on_o every_o hand_n yet_o not_o move_v by_o any_o if_o he_o be_v not_o move_v by_o any_o have_v he_o not_o hereby_o contradict_v they_o who_o say_v that_o friend_n drive_v he_o from_o the_o truth_n to_o drive_v a_o man_n from_o the_o truth_n be_v to_o move_v he_o but_o friend_n do_v not_o drive_v he_o from_o the_o truth_n and_o

whereas_o john_n perrot_n say_v in_o that_o letter_n i_o be_o give_v to_o be_v this_o day_n the_o reproach_n of_o many_o who_o have_v give_v he_o to_o be_v so_o do_v he_o not_o give_v himself_o unto_o

those_o that_o follow_v he_o for_o their_o example_n have_v do_v therefore_o he_o have_v be_v a_o reproach_n to_o the_o truth_n &_o to_o they_o that_o keep_v their_o first_o love_n who_o abide_v in_o
