common_o call_v conventicle_n heretofore_o but_o i_o have_v in_o these_o meeting_n find_v much_o of_o christ_n and_o comfort_n to_o my_o poor_a soul_n at_o our_o last_o meeting_n i_o think_v there_o

to_o be_v short_a in_o my_o relation_n about_o this_o river_n i_o think_v i_o say_v show_v i_o this_o river_n but_o say_v he_o you_o can_v see_v it_o in_o your_o own_o light_n o_o think_v i_o in_o

many_o i_o think_v as_o now_o since_o the_o world_n stand_v but_o to_o come_v to_o my_o story_n he_o tell_v i_o as_o i_o can_v not_o see_v that_o crystal_n river_n by_o my_o own_o eye_n so_o no_o more_o can_v i_o see_v it_o by_o another_o man_n so_o i_o plain_o see_v he_o do_v not_o at_o all_o weigh_v the_o minister_n i_o mean_v the_o old_a orthodox_n divine_v i_o think_v these_o new_a

between_o the_o two_o covenant_n but_o then_o in_o relation_n to_o the_o river_n he_o tell_v i_o if_o i_o will_v see_v it_o i_o must_v say_v he_o see_v it_o in_o god_n own_o light_n and_o so_o quote_v

christ_n be_v god_n light_n say_v he_o to_o
he_o have_v not_o nor_o never_o will_v whilst_o the_o world_n stand_v satan_n shall_v have_v his_o tongue_n loose_a to_o tempt_v some_o of_o his_o saint_n and_o to_o accuse_v other_o for_o divers_a

to_o give_v thou_o any_o more_o reason_n why_o christ_n will_v not_o tie_v the_o devil_n tongue_n but_o remember_v these_o two_o but_o the_o thing_n i_o say_v be_v christ_n have_v bind_v satan_n
