to_o their_o good_a so_o dear_a friend_n keep_v close_o to_o the_o light_n and_o feel_v the_o power_n of_o god_n and_o abide_v in_o it_o and_o let_v it_o be_v your_o daily_a care_n to_o remain_v in_o

wait_v at_o all_o time_n to_o know_v his_o will_n and_o counsel_n and_o to_o feel_v his_o leading_n therein_o that_o so_o none_o may_v run_v before_o the_o lord_n his_o leader_n but_o to_o fee●_n he_o go_v before_o and_o to_o lead_v in_o the_o way_n you_o shall_v walk_v in_o and_o in_o those_o thing_n that_o concern_v the_o truth_n of_o god_n that_o so_o you_o may_v still_o be_v preserve_v in_o that_o in_o which_o the_o peace_n of_o god_n true_o come_v to_o be_v feel_v for_o friend_n this_o be_v a_o thing_n of_o great_a weight_n and_o far_o surpass_v all_o that_o be_v visible_a and_o

and_o that_o you_o may_v come_v to_o dwell_v in_o it_o in_o steadfastness_n without_o waver_v and_o this_o be_v that_o for_o which_o my_o labour_n be_v and_o for_o which_o my_o desire_n often_o time_n with_o deep_a sigh_n and_o breathe_n to_o the_o lord_n be_v that_o you_o may_v he_o keep_v and_o preserve_v in_o those_o dark_a place_n of_o the_o earth_n where_o you_o have_v your_o calling_n and_o
