unite_v together_o with_o christ_n in_o glory_n be_v able_a also_o to_o quicken_v man_n spirit_n towards_o these_o duty_n and_o make_v they_o concur_v in_o one_o purpose_n to_o understand_v aright_o the_o sincerity_n of_o one_o another_o intention_n now_o then_o if_o i_o may_v use_v freedom_n of_o speech_n through_o christ_n to_o require_v of_o you_o that_o which_o i_o conceive_v you_o aught_o to_o do_v and_o beseech_v you_o to_o settle_v a_o resolution_n in_o your_o assembly_n that_o henceforth_o you_o will_v lay_v to_o heart_n such_o public_a thought_n that_o as_o in_o other_o thing_n you_o have_v abundant_o approve_v your_o zeal_n towards_o the_o truth_n so_o in_o these_o duty_n of_o love_n and_o public_a edification_n you_o may_v go_v before_o other_o and_o be_v find_v laudable_a patron_n to_o the_o communion_n of_o saint_n which_o may_v be_v bring_v to_o pass_v if_o you_o will_v make_v a_o act_n for_o the_o entertainment_n of_o correspondency_n with_o foreign_a church_n about_o this_o matter_n and_o in_o consequence_n of_o that_o act_n defer_v authority_n to_o some_o fit_a person_n of_o your_o body_n who_o may_v in_o your_o name_n concur_v to_o correspond_v and_o

my_o address_n and_o give_v you_o by_o they_o true_a information_n of_o that_o which_o be_v or_o shall_v be_v do_v herein_o by_o other_o hereafter_o and_o from_o they_o reciprocal_o i_o desire_v to_o receive_v the_o advice_n and_o counsel_n which_o you_o shall_v think_v fit_a to_o impart_v towards_o the_o work_n that_o it_o may_v in_o due_a time_n be_v bring_v to_o a_o full_a period_n through_o the_o assistance_n of_o god_n spirit_n in_o the_o supply_n of_o your_o joint_a prayer_n and_o co-operation_n and_o because_o in_o this_o spiritual_a combat_n our_o prayer_n be_v our_o chief_a strength_n and_o weapon_n therefore_o my_o further_a request_n be_v that_o you_o will_v recommend_v the_o work_n unto_o the_o prayer_n and_o supplication_n of_o your_o congregation_n that_o it_o may_v be_v mention_v before_o god_n to_o this_o effect_n namely_o that_o his_o save_a truth_n reveal_v to_o the_o protestant_a church_n may_v be_v not_o only_o free_v from_o all_o scandal_n of_o needless_a dispute_n and_o dangerous_a division_n among_o themselves_o but_o also_o have_v a_o free_a passage_n towards_o other_o and_o be_v enlarge_v towards_o all_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n through_o the_o unity_n of_o their_o spirit_n in_o the_o bond_n of_o peace_n and_o their_o godly_a zeal_n to_o entertain_v holy_a communion_n one_o with_o another_o for_o the_o advancement_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o jesus_n christ_n our_o saviour_n what_o shall_v papist_n fast_n &_o pray_v and_o erect_v society_n and_o spend_v great_a revenue_n to_o breed_v and_o send_v forth_o emissary_n to_o undermine_v the_o truth_n and_o propagate_v their_o superstirion_n and_o idolatry_n and_o shall_v we_o no_o nothing_o for_o the_o advancement_n and_o propagation_n of_o the_o true_a faith_n and_o knowledge_n of_o christ_n jesus_n shall_v they_o be_v more_o cunning_a and_o diligent_a to_o overthrow_v and_o divide_v our_o church_n by_o worldly_a wile_n of_o destruction_n than_o we_o be_v circumspect_a and_o zealous_a to_o maintain_v ourselves_o and_o all_o god_n child_n so_o far_o as_o in_o we_o lie_v in_o unity_n by_o spiritual_a rule_n of_o mutual_a edification_n oh_o let_v never_o this_o fault_n be_v any_o more_o find_v in_o any_o of_o we_o it_o may_v suffice_v that_o hitherto_o the_o neglect_n of_o our_o duty_n in_o this_o and_o other_o thing_n have_v bring_v we_o to_o this_o extremity_n whereunto_o you_o see_v ecclesiastical_a matter_n be_v reduce_v among_o protestant_n if_o therefore_o there_o be_v any_o bowel_n and_o compassion_n if_o you_o intend_v to_o entertain_v any_o fellowship_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o if_o you_o can_v supply_v any_o comfort_n of_o love_n derive_v to_o you_o from_o our_o head_n jesus_n christ_n fulfil_v the_o joy_n of_o peaceable_a mind_a christian_n and_o in_o these_o thing_n be_v like_o mind_a with_o we_o enlarge_v yourselves_o as_o we_o do_v and_o open_v your_o heart_n by_o some_o write_a declaration_n fit_a to_o be_v impart_v unto_o foreigner_n to_o bear_v witness_n that_o you_o be_v willing_a and_o ready_a to_o seek_v and_o entertain_v peace_n with_o all_o true_a professor_n of_o christianity_n and_o if_o withal_o you_o

i_o for_o by_o the_o communication_n of_o your_o spiritual_a talent_n in_o this_o kind_n you_o will_v cause_v many_o thanksgiving_n and_o praise_n to_o be_v offer_v up_o by_o many_o unto_o god_n on_o your_o behalf_n and_o in_o particular_a by_o myself_o who_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o many_o outward_a discouragement_n and_o inward_a fail_n be_o bind_v to_o wrestle_v sometime_o with_o myself_o and_o sometime_o with_o other_o against_o the_o spirit_n of_o envy_n and_o strife_n which_o dwell_v in_o our_o flesh_n for_o the_o unblameable_a way_n of_o peace_n and_o truth_n which_o be_v in_o jesus_n
