a_o few_o word_n in_o tenderness_n to_o the_o well-meaning_n professor_n suit_v the_o present_a season_n upon_o the_o serious_a consideration_n of_o the_o various_a and_o long_o continue_v contest_v and_o opposition_n of_o all_o sort_n of_o people_n against_o we_o the_o contemptible_a people_n of_o the_o lord_n call_v quaker_n it_o have_v seem_v most_o strange_a and_o grievous_a that_o any_o of_o the_o professor_n of_o christianity_n who_o have_v have_v any_o simplicity_n of_o heart_n to_o god_n and_o know_v any_o inward_a work_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n shall_v join_v with_o the_o gentile_n who_o know_v not_o god_n to_o make_v void_a that_o bless_a work_n which_o the_o god_n of_o heaven_n by_o his_o pure_a eternal_a spirit_n have_v begin_v to_o work_v in_o our_o day_n in_o these_o despise_a people_n who_o have_v give_v up_o their_o soul_n to_o serve_v he_o and_o for_o who_o their_o very_a life_n will_v not_o be_v dear_a unto_o they_o to_o give_v up_o for_o his_o name_n sake_n o_o unto_o you_o who_o have_v have_v any_o experimental_a knowledge_n of_o god_n and_o of_o christ_n through_o the_o operation_n of_o the_o spirit_n in_o you_o unto_o you_o be_v my_o very_a soul_n draw_v out_o in_o tender_a love_n and_o compassion_n desire_v that_o the_o god_n of_o heaven_n will_v open_v your_o eye_n and_o give_v you_o a_o clear_a spiritual_a and_o certain_a knowledge_n of_o the_o inward_a state_n of_o your_o soul_n before_o he_o and_o bring_v you_o to_o the_o obedience_n of_o his_o heavenly_a will_n for_o for_o this_o very_a cause_n for_o not_o be_v obedient_a &_o answer_v the_o lord_n in_o his_o requiring_n hardness_n of_o heart_n be_v come_v over_o you_o and_o darkness_n have_v cover_v you_o so_o that_o that_o simplicity_n and_o tenderness_n that_o be_v once_o in_o you_o in_o the_o time_n of_o god_n visitation_n be_v much_o deface_v and_o a_o enmity_n spring_v up_o in_o you_o against_o the_o appearance_n of_o god_n among_o we_o i_o beseech_v you_o bear_v with_o i_o for_o the_o zeal_n of_o god_n be_v upon_o i_o and_o dear_a and_o tender_a love_n to_o your_o immortal_a soul_n know_v you_o this_o all_o you_o who_o have_v any_o simplicity_n and_o tenderness_n leave_v in_o you_o that_o i_o now_o direct_o stand_v for_o god_n and_o in_o his_o name_n i_o plead_v with_o you_o and_o for_o you_o that_o you_o may_v be_v reconcile_v to_o he_o and_o that_o the_o enmity_n that_o be_v yet_o in_o any_o of_o you_o against_o god_n heavenly_a appearance_n and_o revelation_n of_o his_o son_n in_o we_o may_v be_v take_v away_o for_o god_n be_v exalt_v his_o son_n over_o all_o even_o this_o be_v the_o work_n of_o god_n ●n_v this_o his_o day_n to_o exalt_v his_o name_n above_o every_o name_n and_o we_o the_o despise_a remnant_n be_v make_v witness_n of_o the_o heavenly_a appearance_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o can_v but_o testify_v of_o he_o i_o say_v we_o be_v make_v witness_n by_o god_n through_o the_o revelation_n of_o christ_n in_o we_o a_o holy_a constraint_n be_v upon_o we_o and_o not_o of_o or_o from_o ourselves_o or_o any_o act_n of_o our_o own_o but_o through_o the_o beget_v of_o life_n we_o be_v make_v willing_a to_o exalt_v his_o name_n in_o the_o earth_n and_o herein_o our_o heart_n be_v single_a before_o he_o have_v no_o other_o thing_n in_o our_o eye_n but_o the_o lift_n up_o and_o spread_v that_o bless_a
