A40340	Honest, vpright, faithful, and plain dealing with thee O army of the common-wealth (so called) without flattery, in true unfeigned love to thee with something more particularly unto the officers of the army, and those that join with them in the outward government of this nation : wherein truth, uprightness, and equity is declared for, and deceit, wickedness, oppression, and tyranny is declared against / by one who loves the prosperity of truth, and the good and well-being of all creatures, George Fox the younger.

establish_v yourselves_o in_o the_o honour_n &_o fullness_n of_o this_o world_n but_o poor_a creature_n you_o can_v not_o settle_v yourselves_o in_o a_o peace_n there_o for_o your_o enemy_n daily_o plot_v against_o you_o &_o have_v it_o not_o be_v just_a with_o the_o lord_n to_o have_v suffer_v your_o enemy_n to_o have_v destroy_v you_o because_o of_o your_o grievous_a backslide_n and_o

you_o may_v all_o feel_v it_o and_o own_o it_o upon_o that_o nature_n in_o you_o which_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o live_a god_n for_o if_o you_o keep_v not_o to_o the_o spirit_n of_o judgement_n i_o know_v whatever_o you_o have_v declare_v in_o word_n that_o a_o selfish_a spirit_n will_v get_v up_o more_o and_o more_o to_o act_v in_o you_o and_o very_o friend_n if_o you_o keep_v not_o your_o

have_v be_v stop_v at_o that_o time_n for_o speak_v the_o truth_n yet_o notwithstanding_o the_o truth_n have_v prevail_v over_o all_o and_o shall_v prevail_v and_o if_o that_o can_v be_v prove_v
