a_o testimony_n of_o tender_a advice_n and_o counsel_n give_v forth_o from_o our_o half-year_n meet_v in_o dublin_n the_o 9th_o of_o the_o 9th_o month_n 1688._o to_o all_o that_o be_v convince_v of_o the_o bless_a truth_n and_o make_v profession_n thereof_o throughout_o this_o nation_n of_o ireland_n dear_a friend_n we_o have_v under_o our_o consideration_n at_o this_o time_n in_o the_o weighty_a sense_n of_o the_o holy_a truth_n and_o in_o a_o true_a zeal_n for_o the_o prosperity_n thereof_o to_o write_v unto_o you_o as_o we_o have_v do_v feveral_a time_n former_o which_o be_v for_o the_o good_a of_o all_o to_o advise_v all_o that_o profess_v truth_n to_o walk_v as_o become_v the_o gospel_n in_o their_o conversation_n apparel_n deportment_n and_o deal_n etc._n etc._n which_o advice_n have_v not_o be_v so_o full_o observe_v by_o some_o as_o we_o desire_v therefore_o in_o a_o sense_n of_o the_o weighty_a care_n that_o be_v upon_o our_o spirit_n at_o this_o time_n which_o do_v live_o seize_v upon_o all_o the_o sensible_a member_n of_o this_o meeting_n we_o do_v again_o admonish_v all_o young_a people_n and_o other_o to_o beware_v of_o a_o false_a liberty_n in_o these_o thing_n and_o also_o to_o keep_v to_o the_o pure_a language_n of_o truth_n and_o be_v careful_a not_o to_o degenerate_v into_o the_o confuse_a language_n of_o the_o world_n or_o the_o vain_a and_o changeable_a fashion_n thereof_o moreover_o we_o advise_v that_o none_o that_o profess_v truth_n who_o have_v hair_n enough_o upon_o their_o head_n may_v suffer_v a_o vain_a unsettled_a mind_n to_o have_v place_n in_o they_o so_o as_o to_o cut_v off_o their_o own_o hair_n and_o get_v great_a ruffle_a periwig_n which_o truth_n will_v not_o allow_v of_o but_o if_o any_o have_v a_o real_a necessity_n for_o want_v of_o hair_n or_o otherwise_o then_o let_v they_o get_v such_o border_n or_o periwig_n as_o be_v plain_a and_o decent_a which_o best_o suit_v our_o principle_n these_o thing_n in_o particular_a we_o lie_v before_o you_o and_o our_o earnest_a desire_n be_v that_o in_o these_o and_o all_o thing_n else_o in_o general_n you_o may_v mind_v the_o conduct_n of_o the_o word_n of_o grace_n in_o your_o own_o heart_n that_o you_o may_v be_v teach_v thereby_o as_o the_o true_a christian_n be_v of_o old_a to_o deny_v all_o ungodliness_n and_o worldly_a lust_n and_o to_o live_v sober_o righteous_o and_o godly_o in_o this_o present_a world_n that_o so_o you_o may_v adorn_v the_o gospel_n by_o your_o holy_a life_n and_o godly_a conversation_n always_o couple_v with_o the_o fear_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o our_o tender_a advise_v be_v to_o all_o the_o elder_n of_o every_o meeting_n to_o take_v care_n that_o the_o several_a testimony_n give_v forth_o heretofore_o be_v frequent_o read_v and_o the_o wholesome_a advise_v thereinput_fw-la in_o practice_n and_o whereas_o we_o have_v ground_n for_o a_o godly_a jealousy_n that_o there_o be_v some_o parent_n of_o child_n who_o ought_v to_o be_v concern_v as_o elder_n in_o the_o church_n that_o do_v indulge_v their_o child_n in_o such_o disorder_n as_o aforementioned_a whereby_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o faithful_a be_v weaken_v and_o the_o testimony_n of_o truth_n slight_v which_o thing_n be_v very_o hurtful_a in_o the_o church_n we_o desire_v that_o where_o such_o parent_n be_v they_o may_v be_v admonish_v by_o those_o that_o be_v faithful_a that_o the_o testimony_n of_o truth_n may_v be_v keep_v up_o in_o its_o ancient_a purity_n and_o plainness_n and_o our_o youth_n and_o other_o reclaim_v and_o preserve_v out_o of_o such_o thing_n as_o be_v a_o reproach_n to_o truth_n a_o grief_n to_o honest-hearted_a friend_n and_o destructive_a to_o their_o own_o soul_n and_o further_o dear_a friend_n we_o do_v entreat_v and_o beseech_v you_o all_o to_o be_v mindful_a of_o your_o duty_n in_o meet_v together_o according_a to_o the_o good_a advice_n often_o give_v unto_o we_o and_o our_o ancient_a practice_n for_o which_o we_o be_v zealous_a in_o the_o begin_n after_o the_o lord_n have_v make_v his_o truth_n know_v unto_o we_o and_o in_o which_o we_o have_v so_o frequent_o meet_v with_o the_o lord_n and_o through_o his_o presence_n be_v so_o rich_o reward_v the_o neglect_n whereof_o we_o fear_v do_v bring_v a_o coldness_n deadness_n and_o barrenness_n upon_o the_o soul_n of_o some_o and_o may_v cause_v they_o to_o loss_n that_o warmth_n freshness_n and_o zeal_n that_o be_v upon_o their_o heart_n in_o former_a time_n and_o true_o friend_n we_o have_v a_o sense_n upon_o our_o spirit_n that_o too_o many_o be_v subject_a to_o a_o carelessness_n of_o perform_v this_o duty_n of_o meet_v together_o especial_o upon_o the_o weekday_n their_o mind_n be_v too_o much_o take_v up_o with_o earthly_a concern_v whereby_o they_o come_v not_o only_o to_o be_v hurt_v by_o give_v way_n to_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o world_n with_o its_o choke_a care_n but_o also_o they_o be_v prevent_v from_o receive_v the_o renew_n virtue_n of_o the_o power_n of_o god_n which_o by_o the_o faithful_a be_v enjoy_v so_o they_o through_o their_o negligence_n come_v to_o wither_v and_o decay_v in_o their_o inward_a man_n and_o lose_v strength_n for_o want_n of_o the_o same_o wherefore_o we_o desire_v that_o a_o godly_a care_n may_v be_v upon_o every_o mind_n and_o that_o all_o friend_n may_v be_v stir_v up_o to_o a_o diligent_a performance_n of_o this_o bless_a incumbent_a duty_n that_o the_o benefit_n thereof_o every_o one_o may_v reap_v to_o their_o comfort_n last_o we_o tender_o exhort_v all_o friend_n
