action_n before_o life_n thereby_o to_o attain_v life_n and_o so_o we_o be_v his_o workmanship_n create_v in_o christ_n jesus_n unto_o good_a work_n which_o god_n have_v before_o ordain_v that_o we_o shall_v walk_v in_o they_o and_o this_o be_v ordain_v of_o god_n to_o be_v the_o fruit_n of_o our_o life_n and_o faith_n and_o in_o these_o good_a work_n we_o walk_v to_o his_o glory_n and_o depend_v upon_o he_o alone_o for_o the_o renew_n of_o our_o strength_n to_o continue_v in_o they_o unto_o the_o end_n q._n but_o how_o do_v you_o manifest_v your_o good_a work_n which_o you_o say_v be_v ordain_v of_o god_n for_o you_o to_o walk_v in_o a._n by_o our_o faith_n we_o manifest_v they_o and_o the_o manifestation_n do_v clear_o demonstrate_v the_o nature_n and_o root_n to_o be_v of_o god_n in_o which_o they_o be_v create_v and_o the_o nature_n and_o root_n in_o which_o they_o be_v create_v be_v of_o god_n they_o must_v needs_o be_v good_a and_o so_o they_o be_v good_a work_n as_o be_v of_o god_n and_o of_o god_n ordain_v that_o we_o shall_v walk_v in_o they_o and_o that_o of_o god_n in_o every_o conscience_n bear_v witness_n to_o the_o same_o so_o that_o we_o know_v all_o our_o work_n to_o be_v wrought_v by_o he_o in_o we_o and_o for_o we_o and_o we_o do_v walk_v in_o they_o who_o be_v bear_v of_o he_o and_o he_o alone_o have_v the_o glory_n though_o the_o natural_a man_n perceive_v not_o from_o whence_o they_o be_v nor_o whither_o they_o go_v q._n and_o be_v it_o your_o faith_n and_o love_n towards_o god_n that_o make_v you_o such_o a_o willing_a people_n to_o serve_v god_n and_o to_o do_v his_o will_n a._n yes_o it_o be_v so_o for_o the_o day_n of_o his_o power_n have_v overcome_v we_o and_o therein_o he_o have_v beget_v we_o unto_o a_o lively_a hope_n by_o the_o resurrection_n of_o jesus_n christ_n from_o the_o dead_a and_o in_o he_o our_o faith_n and_o love_n be_v increase_v and_o strengthen_v to_o run_v without_o weariness_n for_o in_o his_o life_n we_o have_v motion_n and_o action_n whereby_o we_o be_v willing_o dispose_v to_o serve_v he_o and_o to_o do_v his_o will_n q._n but_o how_o do_v you_o know_v all_o these_o thing_n you_o act_n and_o do_v be_v the_o command_n of_o god_n and_o according_a to_o his_o will_n a._n by_o the_o word_n of_o his_o power_n in_o we_o through_o which_o we_o be_v make_v sensible_a of_o all_o his_o command_n unto_o we_o for_o as_o we_o be_v bear_v of_o he_o so_o we_o know_v his_o voice_n and_o by_o his_o word_n we_o be_v instruct_v in_o his_o command_n and_o thereby_o put_v upon_o motion_n to_o act_v and_o do_v they_o and_o in_o our_o duty_n he_o give_v we_o his_o peace_n by_o which_o we_o know_v that_o all_o those_o thing_n which_o we_o act_n and_o do_v be_v his_o command_n unto_o we_o and_o according_a to_o his_o will_n q._n but_o be_v you_o so_o constrain_v through_o your_o faith_n and_o love_n towards_o god_n as_o to_o answer_v he_o in_o all_o thing_n that_o he_o command_v you_o a._n yes_o for_o if_o we_o shall_v say_v we_o love_v he_o and_o do_v not_o keep_v his_o command_n we_o shall_v be_v liar_n but_o we_o do_v so_o love_v he_o and_o our_o faith_n be_v so_o steadfast_a in_o he_o as_o that_o we_o be_v thereby_o constrain_v to_o keep_v his_o command_n in_o all_o thing_n for_o it_o be_v natural_a unto_o his_o own_o birth_n to_o delight_v to_o do_v his_o will_n and_o to_o do_v whatsoever_o he_o command_v and_o hereby_o we_o know_v that_o his_o love_n be_v perfect_v in_o we_o and_o our_o faith_n and_o love_n be_v single_a unto_o he_o and_o as_o his_o good_a will_n be_v manifest_v unto_o n_n even_o so_o be_v our_o heart_n dispose_v in_o good_a will_n towards_o all_o man_n q._n what_o good_a will_v have_v you_o to_o such_o as_o you_o judge_v and_o condemn_v because_o they_o be_v not_o likeminded_a with_o you_o a._n much_o every_o way_n for_o that_o which_o we_o judge_v and_o condemn_v in_o any_o be_v only_o that_o spirit_n which_o wrong_v they_o by_o which_o our_o good_a will_n be_v manifest_v unto_o that_o which_o suffer_v wrong_a and_o this_o be_v our_o judgement_n according_a to_o truth_n and_o know_v that_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v according_a to_o truth_n and_o have_v feel_v it_o so_o in_o ourselves_o through_o the_o condemnation_n of_o sin_n in_o the_o flesh_n we_o judge_v sin_n in_o the_o flesh_n in_o whosoever_o it_o reign_v that_o sin_n in_o the_o flesh_n may_v be_v condemn_v and_o they_o in_o the_o spirit_n may_v be_v justify_v and_o herein_o we_o manifest_v the_o universal_a love_n of_o god_n to_o be_v shed_v abroad_o in_o our_o heart_n in_o which_o our_o good_a will_n extend_v unto_o all_o man_n q._n and_o be_v that_o the_o love_n with_o which_o you_o love_v your_o enemy_n a._n yes_o for_o as_o god_n have_v pity_n upon_o we_o in_o the_o day_n of_o our_o alienation_n from_o he_o and_o follow_v we_o with_o many_o tender_a visitation_n and_o also_o many_o righteous_a judgement_n even_o so_o we_o know_v that_o he_o will_v not_o have_v a_o sinner_n to_o perish_v and_o in_o this_o love_n we_o labour_v for_o the_o good_a of_o all_o people_n and_o it_o be_v the_o great_a manifestation_n of_o love_n to_o a_o enemy_n when_o his_o destruction_n be_v not_o seek_v but_o rather_o a_o condescend_v to_o recover_v he_o out_o of_o the_o state_n of_o his_o enmity_n into_o a_o state_n of_o reconciliation_n and_o peace_n and_o we_o know_v that_o there_o be_v none_o that_o be_v enemy_n unto_o we_o but_o they_o be_v enemy_n unto_o god_n and_o crucify_v his_o life_n in_o themselves_o and_o therefore_o our_o love_n be_v in_o pity_n towards_o they_o though_o they_o be_v enemy_n unto_o we_o know_v that_o they_o can_v have_v peace_n with_o god_n whilst_o in_o that_o state_n they_o remain_v q._n and_o be_v you_o so_o dispose_v towards_o your_o enemy_n as_o that_o you_o can_v seek_v rerevenge_n when_o they_o do_v you_o wrong_v a._n yes_o that_o be_v the_o disposition_n of_o our_o nature_n not_o to_o seek_v revenge_n though_o we_o do_v suffer_v wrong_a for_o the_o revenge_a nature_n be_v in_o the_o fall_n in_o which_o people_n be_v enemy_n unto_o god_n and_o one_o to_o another_o but_o it_o be_v not_o so_o with_o we_o who_o god_n have_v redeem_v for_o though_o we_o may_v have_v many_o enemy_n yet_o we_o be_v not_o enemy_n unto_o any_o though_o in_o the_o power_n of_o god_n by_o which_o we_o be_v redeem_v we_o do_v bear_v testimony_n against_o the_o evil_a and_o the_o sin_n and_o that_o spirit_n in_o we_o do_v not_o seek_v after_o revenge_n but_o in_o all_o long-suffering_a and_o patience_n we_o bear_v the_o enmity_n of_o our_o enemy_n and_o wait_v to_o see_v their_o conversion_n out_o of_o the_o enmity_n whereby_o our_o good_a will_n be_v manifest_v in_o love_n to_o their_o soul_n q._n but_o be_v you_o not_o the_o cause_n of_o the_o suffering_n that_o come_v upon_o you_o as_o be_v contrary_n mind_v unto_o all_o other_o people_n and_o so_o be_v enemy_n to_o yourselves_o a._n nay_o the_o cause_n of_o our_o suffering_n be_v not_o from_o ourselves_o but_o from_o that_o spirit_n which_o can_v bear_v our_o testimony_n which_o god_n have_v give_v we_o which_o testimony_n be_v contrary_a unto_o the_o act_n and_o work_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o darkness_n it_o provoke_v the_o mind_n of_o such_o in_o who_o it_o rule_v to_o enmity_n against_o we_o and_o that_o be_v the_o ground_n why_o suffering_n come_v upon_o we_o and_o we_o be_v clear_a for_o be_v enemy_n unto_o ourselves_o in_o it_o as_o have_v our_o faith_n and_o love_n towards_o god_n in_o those_o thing_n for_o which_o we_o suffer_v q._n but_o why_o can_v you_o not_o be_v conformable_a unto_o those_o thing_n which_o other_o people_n observe_v and_o practise_v outward_o and_o yet_o keep_v your_o faith_n and_o love_n towards_o god_n inward_o and_o so_o have_v your_o faith_n to_o yourselves_o a._n because_o we_o dare_v not_o deny_v or_o own_o that_o outward_o which_o god_n do_v manifest_a to_o we_o inward_o either_o to_o be_v truth_n or_o out_o of_o the_o truth_n for_o so_o we_o shall_v deny_v our_o faith_n and_o love_n towards_o he_o every_o way_n and_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a that_o any_o shall_v keep_v faith_n and_o love_n to_o god_n inward_o and_o conform_v to_o any_o practice_n outward_o which_o be_v contrary_a to_o their_o inward_a principle_n for_o as_o the_o body_n without_o the_o spirit_n be_v dead_a so_o faith_n without_o work_n be_v dead_a also_o and_o they_o that_o have_v faith_n to_o themselves_o in_o the_o power_n of_o god_n they_o also_o have_v faith_n in_o he_o to_o serve_v he_o in_o work_n of_o truth_n and_o righteousness_n and_o so_o we_o show_v
