a_o salutation_n or_o testimony_n of_o true_a and_o brotherly_a love_n as_o it_o do_v arise_v in_o our_o heart_n unto_o all_o as_o be_v concern_v therein_o dear_a friend_n to_o who_o the_o truth_n of_o god_n have_v appear_v and_o have_v be_v make_v know_v among_o we_o in_o the_o light_n of_o his_o belove_a son_n who_o he_o have_v send_v into_o the_o world_n to_o discover_v darkness_n and_o the_o way_n of_o sin_n in_o the_o heart_n and_o conscience_n of_o the_o child_n of_o man_n that_o so_o all_o may_v depart_v from_o it_o and_o the_o way_n of_o it_o as_o it_o be_v make_v know_v and_o discover_v to_o themselves_o by_o the_o light_n that_o shine_v in_o their_o heart_n which_o be_v the_o standard_n to_o try_v all_o by_o and_o the_o balance_n to_o weigh_v all_o in_o of_o what_o sort_n soever_o whether_o it_o be_v of_o god_n or_o no_o and_o this_o be_v the_o rule_n for_o all_o of_o we_o to_o walk_v by_o even_o the_o law_n of_o light_n which_o give_v life_n and_o salvation_n to_o all_o that_o believe_v and_o therein_o abide_v and_o this_o be_v it_o which_o first_o gather_v we_o together_o and_o beget_v desire_n in_o we_o after_o the_o lord_n way_n with_o which_o our_o soul_n be_v refresh_v and_o our_o spirit_n comfort_v and_o consolate_v often_o in_o the_o enjoyment_n of_o it_o more_o than_o with_o our_o appoint_a food_n when_o we_o have_v meet_v together_o to_o wait_v upon_o he_o in_o his_o heavenly_a way_n and_o bless_a manifestation_n of_o divine_a love_n he_o have_v fill_v our_o heart_n with_o his_o heavenly_a dew_n and_o refresh_v we_o as_o with_o the_o early_a and_o latter_a rain_n and_o here_o the_o lord_n power_n we_o come_v to_o feel_v reveal_v which_o work_v all_o our_o wor●s_n in_o and_o for_o we_o by_o the_o operation_n of_o his_o own_o eternal_a spirit_n by_o which_o he_o be_v cleanse_v his_o sanctuary_n and_o make_v all_o vessel_n fit_a for_o the_o master_n use_n for_o life_n to_o reign_v in_o that_o the_o love_n of_o god_n may_v overflow_v in_o all_o to_o the_o invite_v the_o nation_n that_o they_o may_v all_o walk_v in_o the_o light_n of_o the_o lamb_n and_o be_v save_v which_o be_v and_o always_o have_v be_v our_o desire_n and_o that_o which_o we_o have_v breathe_v unto_o the_o lord_n for_o as_o for_o ourselves_o that_o so_o all_o may_v come_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o truth_n and_o be_v save_v wherefore_o all_o dear_a friend_n mind_n god_n lead_v power_n in_o all_o thing_n whereunto_o you_o be_v call_v and_o therein_o abide_v with_o the_o lord_n answer_v a_o conscience_n void_a of_o offence_n towards_o god_n and_o man_n that_o so_o the_o truth_n may_v be_v adorn_v in_o we_o all_o by_o a_o holy_a life_n and_o godly_a conversation_n as_o become_v the_o gospel_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n among_o we_o all_o that_o so_o god_n over_o all_o may_v have_v the_o glory_n and_o honour_n to_o who_o it_o belong_v for_o evermore_o and_o now_o dear_a friend_n for_o as_o much_o as_o we_o have_v sometime_o meet_v together_o to_o discourse_n of_o trade_n and_o calling_n but_o more_o particular_o of_o our_o own_o and_o of_o which_o we_o be_v in_o be_v tailor_n in_o which_o we_o have_v meet_v with_o many_o trial_n on_o every_o hand_n for_o many_o year_n together_o though_o little_a of_o it_o by_o some_o of_o we_o have_v be_v declare_v know_v the_o arm_n and_o power_n of_o the_o lord_n that_o support_v we_o through_o all_o and_o have_v give_v we_o a_o reward_n who_o have_v stand_v faithful_a to_o his_o requiring_n which_o be_v our_o desire_n for_o all_o that_o be_v convince_v of_o the_o lord_n truth_n and_o know_v his_o heavenly_a way_n to_o walk_v in_o it_o and_o where_o any_o thing_n appear_v to_o draw_v back_o or_o hinder_v to_o cast_v it_o of_o though_o it_o be_v as_o the_o right_a hand_n or_o the_o right_a eye_n yet_o if_o it_o offend_v pull_v it_o out_o and_o cast_v it_o from_o thou_o and_o enjoy_v life_n which_o be_v more_o than_o all_o and_o this_o be_v our_o desire_n for_o you_o all_o that_o be_v our_o brethren_n who_o have_v believe_v in_o the_o truth_n that_o you_o keep_v nothing_o back_o that_o god_n call_v for_o and_o that_o you_o have_v not_o peace_n in_o your_o employment_n of_o which_o we_o have_v sometime_o discourse_v concern_v superfluity_n and_o thing_n altogether_o needless_a and_o that_o which_o some_o of_o we_o for_o many_o year_n have_v leave_v undo_v and_o we_o wish_v it_o be_v so_o with_o all_o that_o there_o may_v be_v a_o clearness_n and_o a_o enlargement_n in_o the_o lord_n power_n and_o a_o increase_n of_o his_o love_n which_o be_v much_o better_a than_o the_o increase_n of_o corn_n and_o wine_n and_o oil_n and_o these_o thing_n friend_n we_o lay_v before_o you_o in_o the_o love_n of_o god_n and_o in_o a_o true_a sense_n of_o the_o same_o as_o be_v deliver_v from_o under_o those_o burden_n that_o many_o yet_o groan_n under_o and_o be_v not_o redeem_a out_o of_o a●_n lace_n ribbon_n and_o needless_a button_n and_o such_o like_a thing_n which_o the_o light_n do_v not_o justify_v but_o be_v out_o of_o that_o in_o which_o the_o true_a fellowship_n stand_v and_o as_o for_o the_o manner_n and_o way_n of_o answer_v the_o world_n in_o make_v their_o clothes_n we_o leave_v it_o to_o the_o witness_n of_o god_n in_o you_o all_o and_o as_o much_o as_o in_o you_o lie_v beget_v they_o into_o moderation_n and_o as_o for_o friend_n we_o hope_v that_o they_o will_v not_o desire_v nor_o wear_v any_o thing_n unconvenient_a and_o therefore_o need_v say_v nothing_o about_o it_o more_o belive_a the_o lord_n will_v so_o open_v their_o understanding_n as_o that_o they_o will_v preach_v to_o the_o world_n in_o all_o thing_n and_o adorn_v themselves_o as_o become_v the_o gospel_n which_o be_v the_o power_n of_o god_n by_o which_o we_o be_v call_v and_o the_o way_n in_o which_o we_o be_v to_o walk_v while_o we_o be_v in_o these_o earthly_a tabernacle_n that_o so_o our_o light_n may_v shine_v forth_o to_o the_o world_n that_o they_o see_v our_o good_a work_n may_v glorine_n our_o father_n which_o be_v in_o heaven_n and_o that_o to_o the_o brightness_n of_o our_o rise_n many_o may_v come_v and_o say_v come_v let_v we_o go_v up_o to_o the_o mountain_n of_o the_o lord_n house_n even_o to_o the_o house_n of_o the_o god_n of_o jacob_n for_o he_o will_v teach_v we_o of_o his_o way_n and_o we_o will_v walk_v in_o
