you_o in_o the_o work_n you_o ought_v to_o do_v because_o herein_o private_a self-end_n and_o respect_n to_o person_n by_o you_o be_v prefer_v before_o the_o general_a good_a of_o all_o now_o friend_n while_o your_o mind_n and_o thought_n and_o heart_n run_v into_o or_o after_o any_o of_o these_o thing_n they_o with_o the_o enemy_n of_o your_o soul_n will_v not_o suffer_v you_o to_o do_v that_o

this_o opportunity_n also_o do_v not_o expect_v another_o be_v not_o deceive_v god_n will_v not_o be_v mock_v therefore_o consider_v these_o thing_n and_o mind_n to_o answer_v the_o lord_n love_v yet_o continue_v unto_o you_o but_o if_o you_o look_v out_o at_o or_o suffer_v your_o mind_n to_o run_v into_o mark_v the_o greatness_n of_o your_o place_n or_o after_o your_o gain_n or_o the_o

thing_n will_v strangle_v the_o principle_n of_o god_n in_o you_o which_o move_v to_o do_v that_o which_o be_v equal_a and_o just_a unto_o all_o and_o then_o the_o tender_a seed_n in_o you_o which_o feel_v the_o weight_n and_o burden_n of_o oppression_n that_o will_v be_v murder_v and_o then_o deadness_n and_o hardness_n of_o heart_n will_v come_v upon_o you_o more_o and_o more_o and_o you_o will_v settle_v deep_a and_o deep_o in_o the_o death_n and_o very_o if_o you_o shall_v do_v thus_o you_o will_v become_v even_o as_o sodom_n and_o gomorah_n unto_o the_o lord_n and_o he_o will_v
