christ_n and_o because_o you_o can_v deny_v the_o faith_n of_o god_n elect_v which_o purge_v and_o purify_v your_o heart_n nor_o withhold_v your_o obedience_n but_o do_v love_v the_o truth_n and_o give_v your_o obedience_n to_o the_o spirit_n and_o power_n of_o christ_n jesus_n therefore_o you_o be_v hate_v without_o a_o cause_n and_o persecute_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o world_n because_o your_o mother_n be_v not_o jerusalem_n from_o beneath_o but_o jerusalem_n from_o above_o which_o be_v the_o mother_n of_o we_o all_o that_o be_v of_o the_o seed_n of_o election_n which_o be_v the_o seed_n that_o be_v appoint_v and_o ordain_v of_o god_n to_o inherit_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n to_o you_o be_v give_v to_o know_v the_o mysterye_n of_o the_o kingdom_n but_o to_o other_o in_o parable_n that_o hear_v they_o may_v hear_v and_o not_o understand_v and_o see_v they_o may_v see_v and_o not_o perceive_v least_o at_o any_o time_n they_o be_v convert_v and_o heal_v so_o though_o many_o hear_v the_o everlasting_a gospel_n preach_v yet_o the_o seed_n of_o faith_n be_v the_o receiver_n thereof_o into_o a_o good_a ground_n and_o right_a understanding_n and_o those_o divine_a mystery_n or_o glorious_a truth_n be_v make_v plain_a unto_o they_o which_o other_o understand_v not_o to_o who_o the_o gift_n of_o understanding_n be_v not_o give_v who_o be_v son_n of_o the_o bondwoman_n and_o live_v after_o the_o flesh_n to_o who_o the_o divine_a truth_n be_v as_o parable_n and_o though_o they_o may_v see_v what_o a_o great_a work_n of_o reformation_n be_v wrought_v in_o the_o nation_n yet_o they_o perceive_v not_o the_o mind_n of_o the_o lord_n nor_o receive_v not_o the_o people_n of_o god_n in_o who_o that_o work_n be_v wrought_v but_o reject_v they_o and_o cast_v they_o out_o as_o it_o be_v then_o so_o it_o be_v now_o he_o that_o be_v bear_v of_o the_o flesh_n persecute_v he_o that_o be_v bear_v after_o the_o spirit_n whereby_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o the_o regenerate_v be_v not_o persecutor_n nor_o ever_o be_v such_o in_o any_o age_n that_o we_o read_v of_o but_o they_o be_v and_o be_v persecute_v and_o that_o by_o the_o degenerate_a and_o such_o as_o live_v after_o the_o flesh_n who_o daily_o err_v and_o go_v astray_o from_o the_o way_n of_o god_n and_o be_v persecutor_n of_o they_o who_o be_v bear_v of_o water_n and_o the_o spirit_n who_o live_v a_o new_a life_n in_o christ_n jesus_n therefore_o all_o you_o that_o live_v in_o the_o spirit_n walk_v in_o the_o spirit_n &_o be_v not_o desirous_a of_o vain_a
