preach_v among_o you_o but_o this_o principle_n to_o have_v people_n mind_n god_n in_o their_o conscience_n and_o to_o be_v faithful_a to_o what_o they_o know_v of_o god_n and_o what_o hard_a

to_o keep_v their_o conscience_n clear_a in_o his_o sight_n and_o how_o have_v some_o seal_v it_o with_o their_o blood_n and_o still_o be_v ready_a though_o patient_a suffer_v in_o his_o power_n god_n be_v magnify_v for_o it_o with_o their_o life_n give_v up_o and_o if_o god_n shall_v suffer_v they_o to_o be_v bring_v to_o the_o stake_n for_o the_o testimony_n of_o jesus_n and_o let_v the_o rain_n

and_o this_o i_o say_v of_o they_o that_o be_v faithful_a to_o god_n in_o what_o they_o know_v they_o be_v the_o people_n of_o god_n and_o there_o be_v no_o more_o require_v of_o any_o of_o we_o but_o to_o be_v faithful_a to_o what_o we_o know_v be_v it_o much_o or_o little_a so_o this_o be_v my_o testimony_n for_o this_o people_n if_o i_o shall_v write_v no_o more_o for_o i_o wait_v for_o my_o dissolution_n nor_o i_o know_v not_o how_o few_o my_o day_n may_v be_v among_o you_o and_o now_o you_o my_o love_a neighbour_n and_o acquaintance_n since_o it_o have_v be_v the_o good_a pleasure_n of_o the_o god_n of_o heaven_n to_o send_v this_o affliction_n of_o lameness_n upon_o i_o so_o that_o in_o the_o prime_n of_o my_o age_n my_o strength_n be_v take_v from_o i_o i_o care_v not_o

not_o whether_o i_o shall_v have_v be_v conformable_a to_o his_o heavenly_a will_n but_o in_o love_n and_o tenderness_n to_o my_o soul_n have_v he_o suffer_v this_o exercise_n to_o come_v upon_o i_o and_o i_o have_v for_o ever_o cause_v to_o bless_v his_o name_n that_o ever_o he_o have_v deal_v with_o i_o after_o this_o manner_n if_o he_o never_o restore_v i_o to_o my_o former_a strength_n again_o his_o will_v be_v do_v though_o to_o look_v at_o it_o it_o be_v very_o hard_a and_o i_o know_v i_o be_o a_o object_n of_o pity_n to_o many_o of_o you_o but_o why_o shall_v i_o murmur_v at_o it_o shall_v the_o pot_n say_v to_o the_o potter_n why_o have_v thou_o make_v i_o thus_o no_o i_o shall_v not_o but_o bless_v his_o name_n that_o ever_o he_o have_v spare_v i_o to_o this_o day_n that_o i_o shall_v answer_v what_o he_o require_v of_o this_o poor_a weak_a body_n of_o i_o and_o this_o be_v the_o great_a joy_n and_o comfort_n of_o my_o soul_n that_o as_o i_o have_v find_v my_o strength_n go_v from_o i_o outward_o my_o faith_n and_o hope_v and_o strength_n have_v renew_v in_o god_n inward_o and_o here_o i_o have_v great_a cause_n of_o joy_n and_o comfort_n and_o to_o god_n let_v the_o honour_n and_o praise_n be_v who_o be_v worthy_a overall_a bless_a for_o ever_o and_o for_o evermore_o faith_n my_o soul_n and_o one_o thing_n more_o i_o will_v desire_v of_o you_o to_o have_v a_o care_n of_o speak_v slight_o of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n and_o christ_n and_o make_v a_o mock_n thereat_o as_o some_o have_v do_v as_o say_v what_o the_o spirit_n will_v not_o let_v you_o do_v this_o or_o that_o let_v i_o prevail_v with_o you_o to_o have_v a_o care_n what_o you_o say_v as_o to_o this_o thing_n lest_o you_o sin_v the_o unpardonable_a sin_n against_o the_o holy_a

this_o spiritual_a appearance_n of_o christ_n for_o if_o ever_o you_o know_v god_n you_o must_v know_v he_o spiritual_o for_o god_n be_v a_o spirit_n and_o they_o that_o worshlp_v he_o must_v

then_o to_o please_v any_o man_n live_v as_o to_o these_o thing_n some_o time_n i_o have_v have_v concern_v will_z h_o some_o of_o you_o that_o rather_o than_o i_o will_v have_v come_v before_o you_o with_o my_o hat_n on_o if_o i_o can_v have_v be_v clear_a in_o god_n sight_n i_o have_v rather_o have_v lie_v at_o your_o foot_n but_o at_o any_o time_n if_o i_o do_v not_o stand_v faithful_a to_o this_o small_a thing_n as_o you_o count_v of_o what_o pain_n and_o sorrow_n have_v i_o have_v quick_o after_o it_o in_o my_o conscience_n that_o i_o know_v i_o have_v not_o do_v well_o in_o it_o and_o it_o have_v cause_v i_o to_o cry_v sometime_o to_o god_n sure_o i_o shall_v take_v more_o care_n next_o time_n now_o if_o you_o will_v but_o keep_v to_o your_o rule_n the_o scripture_n as_o you_o reckon_v they_o methinks_v you_o need_v not_o be_v so_o much_o offend_v whenas_o the_o scripture_n speak_v against_o have_v man_n person_n in_o admiration_n because_o of_o advantage_n he_o that_o respect_v man_n person_n commit_v sin_n christ_n say_v learn_v of_o i_o i_o be_o meek_a and_o lowly_a and_o you_o shall_v find_v rest_n to_o your_o soul_n who_o learn_v lowliness_n of_o he_o will_v not_o take_v offence_n at_o those_o who_o in_o obedience_n to_o he_o speak_v his_o language_n thou_o and_o thou_o to_o a_o single_a person_n and_o who_o wear_v their_o hat_n upon_o their_o head_n for_o which_o they_o be_v make_v if_o man_n will_v but_o true_o come_v to_o serve_v the_o lord_n their_o god_n in_o their_o heart_n it_o will_v teach_v they_o better_a manner_n one_o to_o another_o than_o a_o few_o dissemble_a title_n of_o honour_n and_o worshipful_a with_o the_o cap_n and_o knee_n i_o pray_v you_o what_o do_v they_o all_o signify_v but_o to_o make_v man_n proud_a and_o there_o be_v too_o much_o of_o that_o already_o but_o this_o let_v they_o do_v do-just_o love_v mercy_n and_o walk_v humble_o with_o their_o god_n and_o then_o there_o will_v be_v no_o offence_n take_v and_o why_o shall_v you_o take_v occasion_n at_o thou_o or_o thou_o in_o the_o scripture_n you_o may_v plentiful_o see_v that_o when_o the_o servant_n of_o god_n go_v to_o declare_v his_o word_n to_o the_o

thou_o god_n and_o what_o do_v you_o expect_v better_a language_n than_o you_o give_v to_o the_o god_n of_o heaven_n which_o if_o you_o shall_v say_v you_o it_o will_v be_v nonsense_n and_o people_n will_v think_v such_o be_v not_o in_o their_o wit_n as_o shall_v say_v you_o lord_z or_o you_o god_n then_o again_o this_o rule_n say_v that_o former_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o

i_o never_o meet_v with_o a_o better_a friend_n in_o all_o my_o life_n than_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n for_o it_o never_o cross_v that_o which_o be_v according_a to_o god_n will_n but_o if_o god_n will_v be_v not_o do_v this_o spirit_n bring_v pain_n and_o trouble_v upon_o the_o soul_n if_o it_o be_v mind_v so_o i_o will_v desire_v any_o ingenuous_a sober_a reader_n without_o prejudice_n to_o judge_v if_o it_o have_v be_v their_o own_o case_n whether_o they_o will_v not_o have_v leave_v off_o this_o employment_n of_o periwig-making_a rather_o than_o to_o have_v go_v on_o with_o so_o much_o condemnation_n in_o themselves_o and_o these_o be_v the_o reason_n and_o occasion_n why_o i_o leave_v they_o off_o and_o now_o you_o my_o love_a neighbour_n and_o acquaintance_n i_o will_v not_o have_v you_o think_v that_o how_o i_o have_v deny_v myself_o and_o take_v up_o this_o cross_n as_o to_o come_v among_o his_o poor_a scorn_a people_n and_o leave_v off_o my_o music_n which_o be_v a_o great_a delight_n to_o i_o and_o likewise_o this_o employment_n of_o periwig-making_a which_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o be_v so_o hard_o for_o i_o to_o part_v with_o that_o now_o i_o think_v myself_o safe_a enough_o no_o god_n be_v my_o witness_n this_o day_n from_o who_o i_o have_v my_o breath_n &_o be_v i_o have_v as_o much_o need_n of_o keep_v my_o mind_n stay_v upon_o god_n as_o ever_o i_o have_v in_o all_o my_o day_n and_o whatever_o i_o have_v do_v it_o be_v no_o more_o but_o my_o duty_n to_o god_n to_o answer_v his_o requiring_n in_o my_o conscience_n and_o here_o i_o lie_v still_o upon_o the_o free_a mercy_n of_o god_n through_o his_o grace_n in_o his_o son_n christ_n jesus_n my_o saviour_n to_o be_v save_v and_o i_o care_v not_o what_o i_o go_v through_o for_o christ_n sake_n and_o here_o i_o find_v a_o press_v forward_o to_o the_o mark_n of_o the_o price_n of_o the_o high_a call_v which_o be_v in_o christ_n jesus_n and_o at_o the_o end_n i_o do_v not_o question_v as_o i_o keep_v faithful_a to_o god_n i_o shall_v obtain_v the_o salvation_n of_o my_o soul_n and_o that_o be_v enough_o and_o whereas_o there_o be_v most_o dreadful_a speech_n cast_v against_o this_o poor_a scorn_v and_o scoff_a people_n of_o god_n who_o be_v call_v quaker_n as_o if_o they_o have_v their_o very_a principle_n from_o the_o dark_a hell_n and_o some_o have_v tell_v i_o they_o come_v from_o the_o jesuit_n and_o papist_n and_o very_o ha●dly_a people_n have_v speak_v concering_n they_o but_o true_o neighbour_n and_o acquaintance_n i_o will_v entreat_v you_o to_o let_v i_o speak_v in_o this_o matter_n and_o i_o hope_v i_o have_v not_o behave_v myself_o so_o bad_o among_o you_o for_o almost_o this_o twenty_o year_n but_o i_o may_v have_v a_o little_a credit_n for_o what_o i_o say_v so_o long_o as_o i_o have_v come_v among_o they_o which_o i_o think_v be_v 13_o or_o 14_o year_n i_o never_o understand_v any_o such_o thing_n but_o the_o very_a main_a aim_n that_o they_o have_v and_o do_v drive_v at_o be_v to_o have_v people_n be_v faithful_a to_o god_n in_o what_o they_o know_v in_o themselves_o and_o this_o be_v that_o plain_a down_o right_a way_n they_o have_v drive_v at_o and_o do_v and_o god_n have_v prosper_v they_o and_o will_v do_v let_v all_o those_o that_o be_v opposer_n of_o this_o principle_n of_o god_n do_v what_o they_o can_v they_o can_v as_o well_o stop_v the_o sun_n from_o shine_v the_o rain_n from_o fall_v as_o hinder_v this_o spiritual_a work_n from_o prosper_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o his_o people_n for_o it_o be_v beyond_o the_o strength_n of_o man_n to_o hinder_v it_o they_o be_v not_o set_v up_o by_o man_n nor_o can_v man_n pull_v they_o down_o and_o as_o for_o the_o jesuit_n and_o papist_n i_o know_v not_o what_o they_o be_v as_o to_o their_o principle_n neither_o indeed_o do_v i_o desire_v to_o know_v but_o those_o that_o be_v not_o as_o they_o shall_v be_v i_o desire_v the_o lord_n may_v make_v they_o so_o but_o as_o to_o my_o own_o part_n i_o will_v tell_v you_o what_o my_o faith_n be_v and_o what_o i_o do_v believe_v call_v i_o what_o you_o please_v nor_o i_o never_o desire_v to_o believe_v otherwise_o that_o be_v

5.39_o and_o again_o the_o saint_n do_v not_o believe_v that_o christ_n jesus_n the_o son_n of_o the_o live_a god_n do_v pray_v to_o his_o father_n to_o put_v his_o poor_a creature_n upon_o those_o
