for_o we_o and_o wrought_v in_o we_o according_o as_o the_o good_a spirit_n of_o god_n do_v move_v in_o any_o and_o give_v utterance_n so_o dear_a friend_n keep_v your_o meeting_n in_o the_o name_n

unto_o god_n that_o they_o together_o with_o we_o may_v glorify_v god_n and_o serve_v he_o in_o the_o new_a life_n of_o righteousness_n and_o by_o this_o way_n and_o mean_n many_o have_v be_v

with_o we_o in_o stillness_n to_o wait_v upon_o god_n in_o spirit_n to_o receive_v spiritual_a food_n and_o refreshment_n to_o their_o soul_n and_o this_o have_v great_o trouble_v the_o people_n and_o

our_o duty_n to_o god_n and_o if_o neglect_v we_o shall_v provoke_v the_o lord_n and_o kindle_v his_o anger_n against_o we_o we_o choose_v rather_o to_o obey_v the_o lord_n though_o we_o provoke_v
