and_o i_o will_v say_v this_o to_o all_o good_a man_n and_o other_o rather_o to_o suffer_v than_o take_v any_o indirect_a mean_n to_o deliver_v themselves_o but_o to_o wait_v upon_o god_n keep_v their_o way_n stand_v still_o and_o see_v the_o salvation_n of_o god_n and_o god_n when_o it_o shall_v make_v most_o for_o his_o own_o glory_n and_o the_o good_a of_o his_o people_n will_v deliver_v and_o that_o in_o such_o a_o way_n that_o himself_o shall_v have_v glory_n in_o and_o the_o gospel_n shall_v have_v no_o reproach_n by_o but_o because_o some_o think_v we_o be_v enemy_n to_o magistracy_n and_o ministry_n i_o shall_v only_o say_v this_o that_o i_o always_o i_o thank_v the_o lord_n do_v pray_v both_o for_o magistracy_n and_o ministry_n and_o that_o you_o may_v have_v righteous_a law_n establish_v that_o so_o judgement_n may_v run_v down_o like_o a_o stream_n and_o righteousness_n like_o a_o mighty_a river_n and_o that_o shall_v be_v my_o prayer_n now_o that_o god_n will_v give_v you_o peace_n and_o truth_n and_o scatter_v they_o that_o delight_n in_o blood_n and_o war._n mr._n
