up_o error_n in_o truth_n stead_n and_o give_v judgement_n against_o christ_n who_o be_v the_o truth_n and_o life_n of_o who_o we_o testify_v and_o confess_v he_o before_o man_n and_o that_o with_o boldness_n in_o his_o power_n and_o we_o be_v not_o ashamed_a of_o the_o gospel_n but_o bear_v witness_n of_o it_o to_o be_v the_o power_n of_o god_n and_o necessity_n be_v lay_v upon_o we_o so_o to_o do_v and_o we_o can_v be_v silent_a but_o as_o the_o lord_n give_v utterance_n we_o be_v constrain_v to_o make_v mention_n of_o his_o name_n and_o to_o declare_v his_o truth_n from_o day_n to_o day_n and_o we_o do_v not_o take_v think_v concerning_o man_n that_o rise_v up_o against_o we_o neither_o heed_n they_o as_o to_o what_o they_o can_v do_v unto_o we_o therefore_o let_v not_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o cross_n of_o christ_n offend_v you_o neither_o stumble_v at_o that_o stone_n any_o long_o lest_o it_o fall_v upon_o you_o and_o grind_v you_o to_o powder_n for_o our_o testimony_n be_v unto_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n and_o that_o there_o be_v not_o salvation_n in_o any_o other_o name_n and_o this_o be_v know_v in_o the_o light_n which_o be_v manifest_a from_o he_o that_o let_v all_o see_v the_o need_n of_o salvation_n for_o this_o be_v your_o great_a want_n who_o be_v from_o the_o light_n you_o want_v god_n salvation_n and_o so_o remain_v in_o your_o sin_n and_o in_o your_o lust_n from_o whence_o war_n and_o contentious_a do_v arise_v and_o this_o be_v truth_n unto_o you_o all_o people_n and_o do_v not_o count_v we_o your_o enemy_n because_o we_o tell_v it_o you_o in_o plainness_n and_o labour_n for_o you_o that_o you_o may_v come_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o it_o and_o besaved_a by_o it_o and_o though_o we_o have_v bear_v much_o from_o you_o and_o suffer_v much_o by_o you_o yet_o this_o be_v our_o care_n for_o you_o that_o you_o may_v be_v save_v and_o our_o desire_n to_o god_n for_o you_o that_o he_o will_v not_o lay_v to_o your_o charge_n what_o you_o do_v unto_o we_o and_o we_o stand_v innocent_a before_o the_o lord_n in_o all_o thing_n that_o have_v be_v do_v unto_o we_o or_o intend_v towards_o we_o and_o we_o seek_v not_o revenge_n upon_o any_o man_n and_o though_o truth_n be_v count_v heresy_n by_o such_o as_o be_v yet_o in_o darkness_n yet_o we_o know_v the_o power_n of_o it_o and_o the_o salvation_n in_o it_o and_o after_o that_o way_n now_o call_v heresy_n so_o worship_v we_o the_o god_n of_o our_o father_n therefore_o all_o people_n behold_v and_o see_v what_o your_o way_n be_v and_o go_v not_o on_o to_o your_o own_o destruction_n but_o cease_v from_o evil_a and_o let_v not_o envy_v and_o malice_n lodge_v in_o your_o heart_n nor_o strive_v not_o in_o your_o will_n against_o the_o truth_n of_o god_n for_o he_o be_v establish_v the_o throne_n of_o his_o glory_n and_o who_o be_v thou_o that_o contend_v against_o he_o it_o be_v better_o for_o thou_o to_o be_v still_o and_o quiet_a and_o meddle_v not_o in_o thing_n too_o wonderful_a for_o thou_o but_o let_v that_o alone_o which_o concern_v the_o most_o high_a therefore_o all_o people_n in_o time_n your_o way_n consider_v and_o proceed_v no_o further_o in_o that_o which_o be_v evil_a which_o tend_v to_o persecution_n and_o destruction_n but_o all_o take_v warning_n from_o the_o lord_n and_o all_o turn_n unto_o he_o before_o the_o day_n of_o his_o fierce_a wrath_n come_v for_o if_o you_o neglect_v the_o light_n of_o christ_n in_o your_o conscience_n you_o neglect_v your_o salvation_n and_o if_o you_o turn_v against_o the_o appearance_n of_o god_n in_o his_o people_n and_o conspire_v against_o the_o just_a and_o murder_v the_o innocent_a god_n will_v find_v you_o out_o and_o the_o hour_n of_o his_o judgement_n will_v come_v and_o his_o wrath_n will_v abide_v upon_o you_o for_o ever_o so_o all_o mind_n the_o light_n of_o christ_n within_o you_o that_o be_v manifest_a from_o god_n unto_o you_o that_o you_o may_v depart_v out_o of_o evil_a and_o be_v lead_v unto_o god_n from_o whence_o the_o light_n come_v that_o you_o may_v come_v to_o discern_v the_o thing_n of_o god_n and_o understand_v that_o which_o belong_v to_o your_o peace_n for_o all_o that_o the_o lord_n have_v gather_v in_o this_o day_n of_o his_o mercy_n to_o make_v know_v in_o they_o his_o wonderful_a work_n in_o his_o mighty_a power_n they_o walk_v in_o god_n fear_n and_o stand_v in_o his_o counsel_n and_o know_v all_o thing_n in_o their_o place_n and_o what_o be_v of_o god_n they_o honour_v and_o what_o be_v of_o man_n they_o can_v own_v for_o god_n have_v raise_v his_o own_o seed_n that_o can_v consent_v to_o any_o custom_n or_o fashion_n or_o tradition_n of_o the_o world_n but_o testify_v against_o they_o all_o and_o we_o be_v bear_v of_o the_o seed_n which_o have_v no_o part_n in_o the_o world_n and_o in_o the_o power_n of_o it_o we_o be_v redeem_v out_o of_o the_o world_n therefore_o we_o can_v conform_v to_o the_o world_n neither_o in_o custom_n fashion_n or_o tradition_n nor_o we_o can_v exercise_v ourselves_o in_o any_o thing_n we_o be_v convince_v of_o to_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o truth_n and_o this_o be_v all_o that_o you_o have_v against_o we_o because_o we_o answer_v a_o conscience_n void_a of_o offence_n towards_o god_n and_o man_n and_o walk_v in_o obedience_n to_o the_o teach_n of_o god_n which_o do_v not_o answer_v your_o vain_a mind_n which_o be_v puff_v up_o so_o you_o can_v receive_v the_o pure_a language_n of_o truth_n but_o reject_v and_o scorn_v it_o and_o be_v angry_a and_o if_o you_o be_v not_o bow_v unto_o and_o speak_v unto_o according_a to_o your_o custom_n then_o you_o be_v offend_v and_o so_o you_o fret_v yourselves_o in_o the_o pride_n of_o your_o heart_n because_o we_o can_v answer_v your_o vain_a mind_n in_o your_o custom_n fashion_n and_o tradition_n and_o this_o be_v the_o great_a offence_n you_o take_v at_o we_o which_o provoke_v you_o to_o anger_v and_o fill_v you_o with_o wrath_n and_o indignation_n against_o we_o when_o we_o walk_v simple_o in_o the_o truth_n of_o god_n and_o do_v not_o give_v offence_n to_o any_o in_o the_o truth_n speak_v or_o in_o not_o move_v or_o bow_v to_o any_o man_n person_n to_o have_v it_o in_o respect_n for_o such_o thing_n be_v out_o of_o truth_n and_o where_o they_o be_v practise_v the_o lead_n of_o the_o spirit_n be_v not_o know_v so_o you_o that_o be_v in_o those_o thing_n you_o be_v in_o the_o vain_a custom_n of_o the_o heathen_a and_o follow_v your_o own_o will_n and_o satisfy_v your_o vain_a mind_n in_o your_o lust_n which_o grieve_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n and_o we_o can_v own_v they_o nor_o be_v conformable_a unto_o they_o we_o dare_v not_o speak_v any_o other_o language_n but_o thou_o to_o a_o single_a person_n know_v it_o be_v the_o spirit_n language_n and_o have_v be_v from_o the_o beginning_n and_o the_o scripture_n declare_v of_o no_o other_o we_o can_v put_v off_o our_o hat_n and_o bow_n unto_o the_o person_n of_o man_n know_v that_o he_o who_o respect_v person_n commit_v sin_n and_o be_v convince_v of_o the_o law_n to_o be_v a_o transgressor_n and_o we_o know_v that_o when_o our_o hat_n be_v on_o our_o head_n it_o be_v where_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v be_v give_v for_o a_o cover_n unto_o that_o part_n so_o we_o can_v move_v it_o or_o put_v it_o off_o in_o honour_n to_o any_o man_n but_o as_o our_o freedom_n be_v in_o god_n for_o we_o have_v deny_v such_o thing_n in_o obedience_n to_o god_n and_o we_o can_v return_v again_o into_o they_o to_o be_v entangle_v with_o they_o but_o stand_v in_o the_o freedom_n of_o god_n into_o which_o we_o be_v redeem_v by_o his_o mighty_a power_n and_o we_o see_v all_o these_o thing_n to_o be_v vain_a which_o be_v practise_v in_o the_o world_n and_o be_v not_o after_o the_o spirit_n but_o after_o the_o flesh_n and_o from_o the_o heart_n which_o be_v deceitful_a and_o desperate_o wicked_a and_o we_o can_v join_v with_o they_o nor_o be_v conformable_a unto_o they_o for_o conscience_n sake_n for_o we_o be_v set_v free_a by_o the_o law_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o life_n in_o christ_n jesus_n and_o we_o know_v they_o to_o be_v work_n of_o darkness_n and_o so_o we_o testify_v against_o they_o and_o we_o have_v the_o answer_n of_o a_o good_a conscience_n therein_o and_o peace_n with_o god_n and_o in_o this_o we_o rejoice_v that_o we_o have_v not_o at_o any_o time_n suffer_v as_o evil_a doer_n but_o for_o the_o testimony_n of_o a_o good_a conscience_n in_o simplicity_n and_o innocency_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n who_o uphold_v we_o in_o his_o arm_n and_o preserve_v we_o in_o his_o power_n from_o the_o wrath_n of_o
