the_o weighty_a savoury_a word_n of_o life_n that_o with_o the_o life_n every_o one_o may_v be_v true_o refresh_v comfort_v and_o establish_v oh_o friend_n be_v you_o all_o watchful_a to_o the_o

for_o the_o light_n lift_v up_o itself_o as_o a_o standard_n against_o the_o subtle_a worker_n and_o so_o with_o the_o light_a the_o faithful_a be_v preserve_v in_o their_o faithfulness_n to_o walk_v

to_o all_o the_o faithful_a who_o be_v indeed_o his_o choose_a and_o unto_o who_o his_o arm_n be_v stretch_v forth_o for_o their_o preservation_n he_o only_o be_v the_o god_n of_o their_o salvation_n

be_o the_o lord_n strong_a and_o mighty_a the_o everlasting_a immortal_a god_n the_o power_n that_o be_v able_a to_o subdue_v all_o thing_n to_o itself_o by_o which_o you_o may_v all_o feel_v the_o

to_o you_o and_o your_o reward_n a_o crown_n for_o who_o overcome_v the_o lord_n will_v crown_v the_o overcomer_n must_v wear_v the_o crown_n as_o a_o token_n of_o their_o victory_n over_o all_o

so_o in_o the_o power_n of_o god_n all_o get_v victory_n and_o overcome_v that_o you_o may_v wear_v the_o crown_n and_o all_o be_v mindful_a wherein_o you_o be_v concern_v one_o towards_o another_o in_o all_o thing_n that_o the_o peace_n of_o god_n in_o all_o your_o heart_n may_v rule_v and_o that_o the_o pure_a move_n of_o god_n power_n you_o may_v all_o know_v in_o your_o understanding_n that_o every_o one_o may_v know_v their_o go_v forth_o and_o come_v in_o as_o the_o power_n order_v and_o then_o the_o order_n will_v be_v keep_v and_o not_o break_v for_o if_o the_o true_a power_n

who_o live_v in_o the_o power_n and_o understand_v the_o motion_n of_o it_o and_o so_o all_o be_v to_o wait_v upon_o god_n to_o understand_v his_o counsel_n and_o do_v his_o will_n and_o not_o

light_n and_o keep_v your_o possession_n and_o be_v not_o draw_v out_o with_o any_o whimsical_a fancy_n and_o conceit_n to_o lose_v your_o possession_n it_o be_v the_o word_n of_o the_o live_a god_n unto_o you_o all_o for_o the_o lord_n have_v show_v great_a kindness_n unto_o you_o that_o you_o may_v glorify_v he_o in_o your_o body_n soul_n and_o spirit_n as_o be_v he_o and_o so_o to_o honour_v the_o lord_n in_o all_o thing_n for_o the_o exceed_a riches_n of_o his_o kindness_n towards_o you_o for_o it_o be_v require_v of_o all_o unto_o who_o the_o lord_n have_v show_v kindness_n that_o they_o be_v find_v faithful_a and_o so_o to_o behold_v the_o lord_n in_o his_o go_n and_o go_v with_o he_o than_o all_o will_v know_v the_o thing_n that_o concern_v their_o peace_n and_o thing_n by_o

be_v the_o work_n which_o the_o lord_n have_v wrought_v for_o you_o in_o egypt_n and_o bring_v you_o out_o of_o egypt_n and_o carry_v you_o through_o many_o trial_n and_o deliver_v you_o from_o many_o

christ_n jesus_n the_o great_a deliverer_n the_o only_a saviour_n preserver_n sanctifier_n and_o justifier_n and_o you_o that_o know_v his_o come_n you_o be_v witness_n of_o the_o greatness_n of_o his_o work_n and_o of_o his_o power_n may_v and_o strength_n in_o work_v and_o so_o you_o be_v sensible_a into_o what_o root_n you_o be_v plant_v by_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o the_o almighty_a and_o you_o know_v that_o you_o spring_v up_o in_o his_o life_n as_o his_o offspring_n and_o that_o the_o plucker_n can_v pluck_v you_o out_o of_o his_o hand_n for_o all_o have_v be_v pluck_v at_o you_o but_o can_v pluck_v you_o out_o of_o the_o hand_n of_o your_o planter_n and_o so_o he_o that_o have_v plant_v you_o into_o his_o life_n he_o keep_v you_o from_o be_v pluck_v out_o of_o it_o and_o it_o be_v his_o great_a mercy_n unto_o you_o in_o that_o he_o have_v plant_v you_o into_o such_o a_o bless_a root_n and_o raise_v you_o up_o into_o it_o and_o keep_v you_o from_o be_v pluck_v out_o of_o it_o here_o he_o give_v unto_o you_o eternal_a life_n that_o you_o shall_v no_o perish_v but_o live_v forever_o and_o so_o he_o have_v choose_v you_o and_o ordain_v you_o to_o bring_v forth_o fruit_n and_o that_o your_o fruit_n shall_v remain_v for_o christ_n jesus_n keep_v you_o by_o his_o power_n in_o your_o plantation_n and_o none_o can_v pluck_v you_o out_o of_o your_o plantation_n therefore_o all_o abide_v in_o he_o who_o be_v not_o of_o the_o world_n but_o have_v choose_v you_o out_o of_o the_o world_n yea_o i_o say_v abide_v in_o he_o and_o your_o fruit_n will_v remain_v and_o will_v not_o be_v shake_v and_o spoil_v with_o storm_n and_o tempest_n and_o so_o you_o will_v flourish_v like_o the_o palm_n tree_n and_o grow_v like_o the_o cedar_n in_o libanon_n for_o you_o that_o trust_v in_o the_o lord_n and_o who_o hope_n the_o lord_n be_v you_o be_v as_o tree_n plant_v by_o the_o water_n and_o that_o spread_v out_o their_o root_n by_o the_o river_n and_o shall_v not_o see_v

from_o yield_a fruit_n and_o so_o the_o almighty_a god_n have_v choose_v you_o in_o this_o day_n to_o bear_v the_o fruit_n of_o righteousness_n in_o his_o righteous_a life_n and_o by_o that_o fruit_n you_o honour_v the_o god_n of_o your_o salvation_n who_o keep_v you_o in_o his_o life_n from_o be_v pluck_v out_o and_o so_o all_o live_v in_o the_o faith_n which_o in_o the_o power_n of_o god_n you_o have_v receive_v keep_v in_o the_o power_n that_o be_v able_a to_o keep_v you_o unto_o the_o end_n and_o so_o by_o faith_n get_v victory_n over_o the_o world_n and_o please_v god_n and_o add_v to_o your_o faith_n patience_n that_o you_o may_v not_o think_v the_o time_n long_o in_o which_o your_o faith_n be_v try_v for_o the_o try_v of_o your_o faith_n work_v patience_n to_o bring_v forth_o

the_o spirit_n unto_o unfeigned_a love_n of_o the_o brethren_n so_o let_v your_o love_n be_v continue_v as_o in_o the_o beginning_n for_o brethren_n that_o keep_v the_o faith_n they_o labour_v in_o the_o love_n which_o edify_v the_o body_n and_o as_o you_o love_v the_o brethren_n that_o keep_v the_o faith_n there_o will_v be_v no_o entertainment_n for_o the_o grudger_n and_o evil_a surmizer_n for_o where_o that_o spirit_n be_v entertain_v it_o corrupt_v the_o mind_n with_o evil_a thought_n and_o self-conceit_n and_o that_o run_v into_o self-separation_n division_n and_o distraction_n but_o as_o you_o walk_v in_o the_o light_n you_o will_v feel_v the_o love_n over_o all_o such_o thing_n and_o so_o love_v the_o brethren_n and_o one_o another_o unfeigned_o and_o that_o be_v your_o

the_o tender_a mercy_n which_o god_n have_v large_o manifest_v unto_o you_o and_o take_v heed_n of_o give_v or_o take_v any_o occasion_n of_o offence_n but_o all_o mind_n your_o own_o condition_n and_o concernment_n and_o let_v none_o be_v wise_a in_o their_o own_o eye_n but_o look_v upon_o themselves_o with_o that_o eye_n which_o can_v prefer_v another_o for_o the_o lowly_a mind_n that_o keep_v in_o the_o light_n be_v preserve_v in_o the_o love_n that_o think_v no_o ill_a and_o in_o love_n be_v ready_a to_o serve_v and_o do_v not_o seek_v to_o be_v a_o master_n for_o if_o such_o a_o

a_o faithful_a testimony_n to_o god_n glory_n and_o there_o his_o presence_n will_v be_v with_o you_o and_o your_o joy_n will_v be_v full_a and_o all_o keep_v down_o to_o the_o power_n that_o keep_v in_o the_o life_n that_o all_o your_o word_n may_v savour_v of_o life_n for_o the_o word_n of_o life_n be_v gracious_a word_n by_o which_o grace_n be_v minister_v to_o the_o hearer_n but_o where_o word_n swell_v above_o the_o life_n they_o only_a influence_n upon_o the_o affection_n which_o draw_v out_o of_o the_o peaceable_a and_o quiet_a habitation_n and_o from_o feel_v the_o weighty_a life_n

all_o wait_n to_o be_v stay_v with_o the_o power_n of_o god_n which_o be_v the_o anchor_n of_o the_o soul_n both_o sure_a and_o steadfast_a for_o when_o the_o life_n rise_v it_o rise_v with_o weight_n and_o all_o that_o rise_v in_o the_o life_n they_o be_v sound_a and_o weighty_a for_o they_o stand_v in_o the_o centre_n of_o life_n and_o be_v move_v by_o the_o motion_n of_o it_o and_o there_o all_o

in_o a_o certain_a state_n and_o here_o all_o come_v to_o be_v keep_v in_o the_o true_a tenderness_n and_o sweetness_n out_o of_o all_o flattery_n and_o feignedness_n for_o the_o affection_n move_v
