for_o a_o long_a time_n they_o seem_v to_o wash_v the_o aethiopian_a or_o the_o black_a moor_n the_o more_o they_o wash_v he_o the_o more_o they_o gall_v he_o and_o yet_o he_o be_v a_o aethiopian_a

sufficient_a to_o answer_v what_o scripture_n have_v you_o for_o it_o for_o if_o the_o word_n command_v it_o not_o god_n reject_v it_o and_o will_v say_v who_o have_v require_v these_o thing_n at_o

be_v sin_n rom._n 14._o 23._o they_o ask_v what_o shall_v we_o not_o say_v god_n be_v with_o they_o why_o shall_v you_o why_o say_v they_o must_v we_o say_v nothing_o what_o if_o thou_o do_v not_o

they_o for_o who_o thou_o say_v god_n be_v with_o they_o etc._n etc._n but_o thou_o have_v speech_n enough_o to_o use_v if_o thou_o will_v needs_o say_v somewhat_o and_o leave_v such_o superstitious_a and_o offensive_a sentence_n if_o he_o be_v a_o good_a man_n thou_o may_v say_v the_o lord_n be_v thank_v for_o his_o deliverance_n or_o the_o like_a but_o if_o he_o be_v not_o than_o thou_o may_v say_v god_n grant_v we_o may_v do_v better_a than_o he_o have_v do_v and_o that_o by_o his_o fall_n we_o may_v learn_v to_o rise_v from_o sin_n or_o some_o such_o thing_n whatsoever_o he_o be_v thou_o may_v say_v as_o david_n say_v of_o his_o child_n give_v a_o reason_n why_o he_o will_v not_o pray_v for_o he_o any_o long_o benig_v dead_a can_v i_o call_v he_o back_o again_o i_o shall_v go_v to_o

to_o his_o wife_n and_o child_n give_v i_o your_o idol_n that_o i_o may_v bury_v they_o so_o say_v i_o unto_o you_o give_v i_o your_o superstition_n that_o i_o may_v bury_v they_o that_o they_o may_v remain_v with_o you_o or_o in_o you_o no_o long_o to_o the_o dishonour_n of_o god_n offend_v of_o your_o weak_a brethren_n or_o to_o my_o grief_n for_o i_o be_o jealous_a over_o you_o and_o because_o

all_o not_o of_o mind_n only_o but_o of_o will_n also_o and_o of_o work_n that_o we_o no_o long_o will_v walk_v in_o darkness_n for_o few_o have_v the_o will_n to_o walk_v according_a to_o the_o word_n either_o in_o darkness_n or_o light_n we_o can_v see_v to_o sin_n in_o the_o dark_a aswell_o as_o in_o the_o light_n and_o do_v rather_o because_o the_o light_n discover_v both_o the_o harlot_n

to_o seek_v this_o light_n which_o be_v so_o good_a so_o excellent_a and_o so_o profitable_a for_o 1_o john_n 1_o us._n for_o it_o do_v not_o only_o descry_v itself_o but_o all_o other_o thing_n round_o about_o it_o therefore_o if_o thou_o have_v this_o light_n thy_o faith_n thy_o fear_n thy_o love_n will_v show_v itself_o and_o good_a thing_n can_v now_o hide_v themselves_o for_o he_o that_o

very_o strong_a because_o he_o see_v his_o way_n before_o he_o once_o we_o stumble_v at_o every_o straw_n when_o we_o walk_v in_o darkness_n for_o then_o wrath_n have_v a_o fall_n pride_n have_v a_o

and_o of_o long_a continuance_n in_o egypt_n clear_a light_n only_o in_o goshen_n therefore_o fly_v egypt_n but_o if_o thou_o live_v in_o egypt_n that_o be_v walk_v in_o darkness_n or_o commit_v
