a_o epistle_n to_o all_o that_o profess_v the_o light_n of_o jesus_n christ_n within_o to_o be_v their_o guide_n by_o john_n crook_n print_a in_o the_o year_n 1678._o to_o all_o that_o profess_v the_o

let_v we_o all_o watch_n and_o be_v mindful_a how_o we_o receive_v the_o truth_n at_o the_o beginning_n which_o be_v the_o subject_a matter_n upon_o my_o heart_n by_o this_o epistle_n to_o signify_v unto_o you_o for_o you_o know_v many_o of_o we_o before_o we_o receive_v the_o truth_n as_o it_o be_v in_o jesus_n feel_v some_o stir_n of_o life_n and_o therefore_o separate_v in_o our_o judgement_n and_o opinion_n from_o the_o generality_n of_o our_o neighbour_n and_o country_n man_n where_o we_o dwell_v because_o of_o a_o inward_a cry_n from_o a_o deep_a want_n in_o our_o soul_n and_o hunger_a
