must_v arise_v and_o depart_v if_o ever_o you_o come_v to_o find_v rest_n in_o christ_n and_o this_o be_v a_o truth_n which_o many_o can_v witness_v this_o day_n who_o sometime_o be_v likeminded_a

the_o lord_n who_o servant_n they_o be_v that_o no_o perfect_a unity_n or_o fellowship_n can_v be_v hold_v in_o any_o other_o principle_n and_o they_o have_v never_o deny_v fellowship_n with_o any_o that_o have_v come_v to_o their_o principle_n if_o it_o be_v in_o never_o so_o little_a a_o measure_n if_o it_o be_v in_o the_o light_n and_o truth_n they_o can_v have_v unity_n with_o they_o there_o yea_o with_o the_o weak_a breathe_v and_o low_a desire_n after_o the_o truth_n their_o soul_n have_v ever_o rejoice_v to_o meet_v with_o any_o there_o and_o their_o love_n and_o tenderness_n have_v

where_o it_o have_v be_v and_o in_o tender_a compassion_n have_v ever_o be_v ready_a to_o help_v and_o relieve_v the_o distress_a but_o they_o can_v never_o speak_v peace_n to_o the_o oppression_n and_o god_n do_v abundant_o reward_v they_o for_o their_o service_n and_o labour_n of_o love_n and_o by_o the_o mighty_a power_n of_o god_n through_o their_o ministry_n many_o son_n and_o daughter_n

must_v come_v to_o the_o power_n of_o god_n that_o come_v unto_o perfect_a unity_n otherwise_o they_o be_v but_o in_o the_o changeable_a nature_n and_o in_o the_o changeable_a unity_n but_o where_o the_o power_n be_v submit_v unto_o it_o work_v out_o the_o changeable_a nature_n of_o the_o flesh_n and_o raise_v the_o unchangeable_a nature_n of_o the_o lamb_n and_o gather_v the_o heart_n mind_n and_o soul_n into_o union_n with_o he_o and_o so_o make_v a_o complete_a and_o perfect_a body_n in_o his_o complete_a and_o perfect_a life_n where_o all_o drink_v into_o one_o spirit_n and_o feed_v upon_o one_o bread_n and_o here_o the_o unity_n be_v hold_v in_o the_o spirit_n and_o it_o be_v seal_v in_o the_o bond_n of_o peace_n therefore_o feel_v the_o power_n of_o god_n in_o yourselves_o that_o your_o mind_n be_v subject_v into_o stillness_n and_o quietness_n for_o you_o be_v too_o full_a of_o business_n always_o throng_v and_o cumbr_v yourselves_o about_o many_o thing_n which_o

for_o real_o there_o be_v a_o pity_n reach_v to_o you_o and_o many_o sad_a complaint_n be_v take_v up_o for_o you_o consider_v what_o long_n and_o pant_n there_o have_v be_v in_o many_o of_o you_o after_o god_n oh_o remember_v the_o year_n past_a when_o your_o visitation_n be_v upon_o you_o and_o the_o springing_n of_o god_n love_n be_v fresh_a in_o you_o than_o be_v you_o break_v and_o melt_v

that_o have_v let_v in_o apprehension_n and_o conceiving_n of_o christ_n whether_o you_o apprehend_v he_o without_o you_o or_o within_o you_o the_o birth_n of_o his_o life_n you_o do_v not_o know_v in_o that_o state_n for_o none_o can_v compass_v his_o pure_a life_n by_o any_o apprehension_n therefore_o let_v all_o cease_v from_o their_o apprehension_n and_o conceiving_n and_o with_o the_o

they_o that_o so_o obtain_v mercy_n with_o the_o lord_n they_o true_o rejoice_v in_o mercy_n and_o wait_v to_o be_v preserve_v in_o it_o for_o there_o be_v too_o many_o word_n speak_v with_o the_o

for_o certain_o they_o all_o gender_n to_o bondage_n the_o innocent_a life_n groan_v under_o they_o for_o every_o word_n speak_v and_o not_o in_o the_o life_n be_v a_o burden_n to_o the_o righteous_a

too_o heavy_a to_o bear_v in_o the_o late_a end_n and_o though_o you_o may_v bring_v scripture_n that_o do_v allow_v to_o speak_v of_o the_o thing_n of_o god_n and_o to_o exhort_v one_o another_o and_o edify_v one_o another_o and_o build_v up_o one_o another_o yet_o you_o can_v bring_v any_o scripture_n that_o do_v allow_v the_o old_a tongue_n to_o do_v it_o neither_o can_v it_o be_v true_o so_o do_v by_o it_o for_o they_o that_o speak_v of_o the_o thing_n of_o god_n and_o exhort_v one_o another_o &_o edify_v one_o another_o according_a to_o scripture_n they_o witness_v their_o change_n out_o of_o the_o old_a nature_n and_o be_v come_v to_o the_o silence_n of_o all_o flesh_n and_o they_o be_v of_o the_o new_a birth_n which_o be_v not_o of_o flesh_n nor_o of_o blood_n nor_o of_o the_o

ever_o you_o know_v the_o tongue_n of_o the_o learned_a for_o whilst_o you_o speak_v of_o yourselves_o you_o be_v but_o seek_v your_o own_o glory_n but_o he_o that_o seek_v the_o glory_n of_o he_o that_o send_v he_o the_o same_o be_v true_a and_o there_o be_v no_o unrighteousness_n in_o he_o therefore_o do_v not_o hunt_v in_o nimrod_n nature_n to_o build_v babel_n but_o feel_v the_o power_n of_o god_n to_o bridle_v your_o tongue_n for_o if_o the_o tongue_n be_v not_o bridle_v the_o religion_n be_v vain_a and_o if_o you_o will_v but_o come_v to_o that_o than_o you_o will_v know_v the_o sweetness_n of_o a_o silent_a quiet_a state_n where_o god_n presence_n be_v feel_v and_o his_o life_n enjoy_v where_o all_o man_n be_v own_o word_n have_v their_o period_n for_o they_o that_o come_v to_o the_o life_n they_o need_v not_o be_v always_o learning_n but_o sit_v in_o the_o sweetness_n of_o the_o savour_n that_o the_o life_n minister_v from_o its_o own_o fullness_n and_o when_o word_n be_v speak_v from_o the_o life_n they_o have_v the_o sweetness_n of_o the_o life_n in_o they_o and_o be_v precious_a and_o savoury_a to_o the_o life_n in_o all_o and_o the_o life_n be_v the_o last_o

therefore_o be_v humble_a before_o the_o lord_n god_n and_o stand_v submit_v unto_o his_o power_n that_o you_o may_v come_v to_o his_o life_n who_o have_v any_o breathe_n after_o life_n and_o spend_v

to_o be_v feed_v with_o god_n mercy_n for_o it_o be_v better_a to_o be_v a_o doorkeeper_n in_o the_o house_n of_o god_n then_o to_o dwell_v in_o the_o tent_n of_o wickedness_n and_o all_o that_o
