from_o that_o ground_n give_v your_o judgement_n against_o it_o and_o be_v not_o this_o the_o rash_a conclusion_n of_o the_o jew_n who_o say_v that_o christ_n be_v a_o deceiver_n and_o a_o prince_n of_o devil_n now_o their_o say_n so_o do_v not_o make_v christ_n the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n to_o be_v so_o yet_o have_v say_v it_o and_o conclude_v it_o in_o their_o dark_a mind_n they_o make_v a_o

that_o the_o conscience_n of_o another_o be_v without_o the_o compass_n of_o your_o law_n and_o all_o judgement_n that_o you_o give_v in_o such_o case_n be_v but_o from_o thing_n that_o do_v appear_v and_o you_o be_v not_o to_o judge_v according_a to_o the_o appearance_n but_o to_o judge_v righteous_a judgement_n and_o that_o be_v the_o judgement_n bring_v forth_o in_o the_o principle_n of_o god_n

but_o to_o please_v your_o haughty_a mind_n therefore_o young_a people_n remember_v your_o creator_n in_o the_o day_n of_o your_o youth_n and_o whilst_o you_o be_v in_o your_o full_a strength_n give_v up_o yourselves_o to_o serve_v the_o lord_n and_o turn_v to_o the_o light_n with_o which_o you_o be_v enlighten_v and_o be_v obedient_a unto_o the_o light_n in_o all_o thing_n and_o when_o it_o

they_o be_v natural_a to_o they_o in_o practice_n and_o so_o young_a people_n be_v much_o wrong_v in_o their_o infancy_n whilst_o they_o be_v not_o capable_a of_o any_o more_o than_o what_o they_o

to_o bear_v witness_n to_o his_o name_n in_o your_o generation_n so_o you_o will_v be_v a_o generation_n in_o time_n to_o come_v and_o will_v be_v good_a pattern_n in_o your_o place_n to_o the_o
