meditate_v and_o ponder_v the_o thing_n of_o god_n in_o our_o own_o heart_n and_o soul_n that_o every_o one_o may_v come_v to_o see_v and_o to_o know_v what_o assurance_n they_o have_v of_o the_o

here_o in_o this_o world_n shall_v come_v to_o a_o end_n with_o we_o all_o for_o it_o be_v not_o a_o bare_a outward_a profession_n of_o any_o religion_n whatsoever_o that_o will_v avail_v any_o of_o we_o as_o to_o our_o own_o soul_n true_a peace_n and_o happiness_n with_o the_o lord_n for_o ever_o but_o it_o must_v be_v a_o real_a possession_n and_o a_o enjoyment_n of_o the_o love_n of_o god_n in_o our_o own_o heart_n that_o do_v avail_v and_o satisfy_v our_o soul_n which_o no_o man_n nor_o woman_n upon_o the_o face_n of_o the_o earth_n can_v come_v to_o enjoy_v the_o love_n of_o god_n

of_o it_o in_o any_o one_o and_o without_o holiness_n no_o man_n nor_o woman_n can_v enjoy_v the_o love_n and_o presence_n of_o god_n to_o his_o soul_n comfort_n and_o true_a satisfaction_n in_o he_o for_o it_o be_v not_o every_o one_o that_o say_v lord_n lord_n that_o shall_v enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n but_o it_o be_v he_o and_o they_o that_o do_v the_o will_n of_o god_n that_o

and_o so_o i_o desire_v that_o none_o will_v deceive_v their_o own_o soul_n in_o think_v better_a of_o themselves_o than_o they_o be_v for_o the_o apostle_n paul_n say_v be_v not_o deceive_v for_o

and_o act_v before_o they_o either_o speak_v or_o act_v l●st_v they_o offend_v the_o lord_n by_o so_o do_v for_o the_o apostle_n james_n say_v if_o any_o man_n among_o you_o seem_v to_o be_v
