deal_v by_o our_o brethren_n which_o have_v halt_v by_o the_o way_n and_o not_o in_o the_o way_n of_o the_o deal_n of_o our_o father_n love_n mercy_n and_o compassion_n unto_o we_o whilst_o yet_o we_o

in_o the_o eternal_a sweet_a spirit_n of_o god_n i_o be_o sure_a that_o all_o judgement_n out_o of_o the_o life_n of_o this_o testimony_n be_v but_o for_o a_o day_n of_o reproof_n and_o also_o to_o be_v try_v in_o a_o day_n of_o revelation_n by_o fire_n and_o therefore_o the_o merciful_a lamb_n of_o god_n which_o take_v away_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o world_n say_v judge_v not_o lest_o you_o be_v judge_v because_o every_o tittle_n out_o of_o his_o spirit_n be_v to_o be_v judge_v by_o his_o spirit_n since_o in_o all_o judgement_n beside_o it_o there_o be_v a_o secret_a seed_n of_o prejudice_n

which_o be_v ready_a to_o say_v report_n and_o we_o will_v report_v for_o such_o thing_n will_v make_v israel_n walk_v maim_v in_o counsel_n and_o halt_v in_o judgement_n and_o make_v he_o cast_v

all_o that_o you_o may_v appear_v as_o strength_n thereunto_o and_o how_o know_v you_o but_o that_o in_o so_o do_v you_o may_v convert_v a_o sinner_n to_o god_n and_o turn_v he_o from_o the_o evil_n of_o his_o way_n and_o will_v you_o not_o know_v in_o that_o day_n that_o there_o will_v be_v more_o joy_n in_o heaven_n among_o the_o angel_n of_o god_n than_o for_o the_o other_o ninety_o and_o

the_o flock_n of_o the_o lord_n everywhere_o and_o not_o among_o the_o world_n who_o pervert_v the_o judgement_n of_o truth_n touch_v the_o foregoing_a epistle_n i_o mention_v these_o few_o follow_a

for_o it_o will_v reach_v to_o that_o of_o god_n in_o all_o in_o relation_n to_o truth_n both_o in_o matter_n time_n and_o manner_n and_o as_o this_o order_n of_o righteous_a judgement_n be_v keep_v

in_o such_o case_n must_v mind_v forgiveness_n more_o than_o judgement_n because_o the_o exercise_n of_o forgiveness_n in_o the_o glorious_a power_n of_o love_n and_o mercy_n be_v able_a to_o overcome_v all_o the_o trespass_n and_o the_o strong_a will_n in_o all_o man_n which_o work_v trespass_n wherefore_o he_o that_o overcome_v in_o this_o manner_n gain_v victory_n in_o the_o battle_n of_o the_o lamb_n and_o so_o conquer_v as_o to_o receive_v the_o crown_n of_o victory_n on_o his_o head_n and_o also_o to_o see_v plain_o how_o the_o virtue_n of_o love_n in_o he_o covers_z a_o multitude_n of_o sin_n and_o evil_n and_o may_v not_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o all_o without_o respect_n of_o person_n if_o my_o eternal_a father_n of_o brightness_n give_v you_o the_o example_n of_o

of_o his_o spirit_n as_o much_o as_o in_o you_o lie_v to_o do_v as_o he_o do_v and_o if_o he_o in_o the_o love_n of_o the_o father_n take_v away_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o world_n whilst_o yet_o it_o be_v in_o enmity_n to_o the_o father_n and_o his_o own_o life_n ought_v not_o you_o therefore_o earnest_o strive_v to_o be_v careful_a in_o seek_v to_o remove_v the_o nature_n of_o a_o trespass_n from_o a_o brother_n and_o know_v you_o not_o that_o the_o most_o forgiveness_n be_v a_o ground_n and_o cause_n for_o the_o stir_v up_o of_o the_o most_o love_n and_o if_o love_v be_v stir_v up_o in_o
