power_n of_o god_n forasmuch_o as_o the_o power_n of_o god_n speak_v in_o and_o by_o they_o and_o so_o he_o have_v set_v some_o in_o the_o church_n who_o have_v authority_n in_o his_o power_n and_o wisdone_v to_o order_n and_o ed●fie_v it_o and_o this_o be_v a_o work_n beyond_o gather_v and_o convince_a and_o who_o be_v come_v into_o the_o unity_n of_o the_o faith_n and_o to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o to_o the_o measure_n of_o the_o stature_n of_o the_o fullness_n of_o christ_n they_o dare_v not_o disrespect_n his_o apostle_n and_o minister_n but_o have_v unity_n with_o they_o in_o their_o work_n and_o rejoice_v in_o their_o labour_n and_o therefore_o beware_v of_o such_o who_o wre_v scripture_n from_o its_o own_o intention_n according_a to_o the_o mind_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o let_v your_o love_n and_o respect_n be_v enlarge_v one_o towards_o another_o and_o let_v your_o word_n be_v few_o and_o savoury_a and_o in_o the_o light_n walk_v reserve_o retire_o for_o where_o word_n gush_v forth_o like_o water_n from_o a_o spout_n the_o tongue_n be_v not_o command_v with_o the_o bridle_n and_o so_o be_v unruly_a and_o at_o liberty_n to_o speak_v in_o the_o abundance_n of_o superfluity_n and_o such_o discourse_n may_v tickle_v the_o mind_n of_o some_o hearer_n and_o cause_n they_o to_o admire_v but_o as_o to_o edification_n there_o be_v no_o savour_n in_o they_o and_o all_o hold_v your_o unity_n and_o fellowship_n in_o the_o light_n and_o power_n of_o god_n and_o watch_v over_o the_o natural_a affection_n which_o be_v inordinate_a that_o so_o in_o the_o seed_n you_o may_v be_v kind_o affectionate_a one_o to_o another_o and_o in_o the_o seed_n feel_v your_o refresh_n together_o in_o the_o manifestation_n of_o your_o unity_n for_o the_o inordinate_a affection_n only_o stir_v up_o the_o inordinate_a part_n and_o thereby_o beget_v the_o affection_n in_o other_o by_o its_o inordinate_a manifestation_n &_o though_o in_o manifestation_n it_o carry_v a_o great_a show_n of_o love_n yea_o seem_o more_a then_o what_o kind_o affectionate_a friend_n do_v manifest_a yet_o it_o reach_v no_o further_o by_o its_o manifestation_n then_o only_o the_o natural_a affection_n but_o unfeigned_a love_n reach_v the_o seed_n and_o in_o the_o unity_n of_o the_o seed_n friend_n be_v refresh_v one_o in_o another_o and_o dear_a friend_n as_o concern_v the_o present_a time_n be_v not_o you_o trouble_v but_o keep_v close_o to_o the_o lord_n and_o c●st_v your_o care_n upon_o he_o and_o live_v with_o he_o and_o so_o the_o time_n will_v not_o concern_v you_o neither_o will_v you_o concern_v yourselves_o with_o the_o time_n but_o mind_n that_o which_o concern_v your_o peace_n out_o of_o the_o time_n for_o though_o you_o may_v see_v distress_n and_o calamity_n depend_v as_o to_o the_o nation_n yet_o you_o be_v not_o to_o concern_v yourselves_o in_o it_o but_o to_o stand_v still_o and_o eye_n the_o lord_n which_o i_o be_o full_o persuade_v many_o of_o you_o do_v and_o they_o that_o do_v not_o so_o they_o create_v their_o own_o perplexity_n in_o the_o multitude_n of_o their_o own_o thought_n therefore_o all_o keep_v in_o the_o faith_n and_o in_o the_o love_n of_o god_n and_o his_o truth_n and_o follow_v peace_n and_o pursue_v it_o and_o then_o you_o will_v be_v ready_a to_o receive_v what_o god_n permittesh_a in_o true_a contentment_n and_o so_o be_v still_o and_o quiet_a &_o feel_v god_n peace_n and_o blessing_n and_o there_o lie_v down_o and_o trust_v the_o lord_n with_o all_o you_o have_v and_o then_o if_o nation_n rise_v against_o nation_n and_o kingdom_n against_o kingdom_n and_o that_o there_o be_v war_n or_o famine_n or_o pestilence_n you_o be_v not_o trouble_v nor_o disquiet_v as_o other_o people_n who_o fear_n surprise_v but_o rest_n in_o your_o inward_a possession_n and_o feel_v god_n peace_n and_o blessing_n for_o when_o calamity_n come_v upon_o a_o nation_n or_o kingdom_n because_o of_o sin_n and_o iniquity_n therein_o it_o surprise_v the_o sinner_n with_o fear_n because_o they_o be_v guilty_a &_o they_o be_v ready_a to_o take_v hold_v one_o of_o another_o &_o yet_o dare_v not_o trust_v one_o another_o such_o be_v their_o fear_n on_o every_o side_n and_o if_o they_o fall_v in_o the_o calamity_n they_o fall_v in_o their_o iniquity_n and_o so_o fall_v in_o misery_n but_o such_o as_o fear_v the_o lord_n they_o lie_v down_o in_o peace_n though_o in_o the_o same_o common_a calamity_n they_o be_v take_v away_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v with_o i_o to_o say_v unto_o you_o as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o time_n past_a fear_v not_o little_a flock_n for_o it_o be_v your_o father_n good_a pleasure_n to_o give_v you_o a_o kingdom_n and_o let_v this_o be_v your_o full_a satisfaction_n for_o
