every_o man_n that_o come_v into_o the_o world_n that_o with_o this_o light_n you_o may_v see_v he_o the_o way_n and_o may_v come_v to_o walk_v in_o the_o way_n of_o peace_n and_o life_n which_o be_v the_o way_n to_o god_n and_o which_o be_v the_o new_a and_o living-way_n in_o which_o the_o apostle_n be_v out_o of_o which_o christendom_n be_v go_v err_v from_o the_o light_n in_o their_o own_o particular_n into_o their_o own_o invention_n and_o imagination_n which_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o there_o be_v set_v up_o so_o many_o way_n among_o they_o changeable_a way_n and_o changeable_a worship_n among_o they_o i_o say_v who_o have_v err_v from_o the_o new_a and_o live_a way_n so_o whosoever_o come_v to_o the_o light_n in_o themselves_o they_o come_v to_o christ_n they_o come_v to_o the_o new_a and_o live_a way_n out_o of_o the_o old_a and_o dead_a way_n which_o be_v in_o the_o fall_n from_o god_n out_o of_o his_o image_n and_o power_n so_o whosoever_o come_v to_o his_o image_n and_o power_n they_o must_v come_v to_o the_o light_n wherewith_o christ_n the_o way_n have_v enlighten_v they_o all_o in_o their_o own_o particular_n and_o hear_v his_o voice_n and_o doctrine_n so_o

of_o god_n viii_o of_o baptism_n there_o be_v one_o baptism_n by_o one_o spirit_n into_o one_o body_n which_o plunge_v under_o all_o the_o corruption_n which_o get_v up_o since_o transgression_n

those_o many_o body_n which_o be_v in_o the_o fall_n from_o god_n so_o baptise_a with_o one_o spirit_n into_o one_o body_n which_o plunge_v under_o all_o that_o which_o make_v a_o separation_n from_o

of_o persecution_n now_o concern_v the_o divers_a faith_n and_o divers_a worship_n which_o be_v in_o the_o world_n and_o the_o persecution_n about_o they_o such_o believer_n and_o worshipper_n be_v

which_o be_v before_o satan_n be_v which_o crucify_v the_o flesh_n and_o the_o world_n and_o their_o carnal_a weapon_n so_o all_o you_o who_o persecute_v and_o kill_v about_o religion_n you_o
with_o the_o light_n you_o will_v see_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n within_o which_o never_o give_v consent_n to_o sin_n and_o evil_a like_a to_o a_o grain_n of_o mustardseed_n and_o to_o a_o

and_o with_o what_o you_o must_v dig_v to_o find_v the_o pearl_n the_o power_n of_o god_n and_o what_o you_o must_v sell_v for_o its_o sake_n to_o purchase_v the_o field_n and_o wait_v in_o this_o light_n you_o will_v receive_v the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n the_o comforter_n to_o to_o lead_v you_o into_o all_o truth_n and_o to_o bring_v the_o word_n which_o christ_n have_v speak_v to_o your_o

so_o in_o the_o light_n you_o will_v see_v christ_n to_o be_v your_o teacher_n who_o say_v learn_v of_o i_o i_o be_o the_o way_n the_o truth_n and_o the_o life_n by_o who_o life_n eternal_a be_v give_v and_o you_o be_v bring_v again_o to_o christ_n the_o shepherd_n who_o draw_v you_o out_o of_o the_o fall_n to_o god_n into_o his_o image_n where_o the_o green_a pasture_n of_o life_n be_v

may_v believe_v and_o say_v christ_n believe_v in_o the_o light_n whilst_o you_o have_v the_o light_n that_o you_o may_v be_v child_n of_o the_o light_n so_o you_o be_v enlighten_v with_o the_o light_n which_o if_o you_o believe_v in_o it_o you_o come_v to_o be_v child_n of_o the_o light_n and_o heir_n of_o promise_n and_o mercy_n and_o of_o the_o power_n of_o a_o life_n that_o have_v no_o end_n and_o believe_v in_o the_o light_n you_o pass_v from_o death_n to_o life_n from_o darkness_n to_o light_n and_o you_o come_v to_o know_v a_o translation_n from_o darkness_n to_o light_n and_o from_o satan_n power_n to_o the_o power_n of_o god_n and_o to_o know_v the_o beget_v of_o god_n into_o his_o own_o image_n by_o his_o power_n as_o you_o have_v be_v degenerate_v from_o god_n and_o

the_o word_n for_o it_o be_v with_o you_o in_o all_o place_n and_o in_o all_o your_o occasion_n divide_v good_a thought_n from_o bad_a good_a word_n and_o motion_n from_o bad_a for_o if_o all_o
