in_o the_o light_n and_o stumble_v not_o mark_v he_o who_o love_v and_o walk_v in_o the_o light_n stumble_v not_o because_o he_o walk_v in_o that_o which_o make_v manifest_v all_o thing_n even_o the_o

because_o i_o testify_v of_o it_o that_o the_o work_n be_v evil_a but_o the_o world_n love_v its_o own_o and_o the_o whole_a world_n lie_v in_o wickedness_n as_o say_v the_o scripture_n and_o who_o

life_n so_o as_o you_o will_v prize_v your_o eternal_a happiness_n slight_v not_o this_o day_n your_o day_n of_o visitation_n but_o prize_v it_o and_o you_o will_v find_v mercy_n for_o god_n of_o a_o

therefore_o while_o you_o have_v a_o day_n and_o time_n prize_v it_o before_o it_o be_v too_o late_a and_o remember_v esau_n who_o have_v a_o birthright_n and_o despise_v

such_o cease_v from_o sin_n and_o witness_v the_o body_n of_o sin_n put_v off_o and_o again_o the_o apostle_n paul_n say_v unto_o the_o roman_n when_o they_o be_v servant_n unto_o sin_n they_o be_v

though_o you_o be_v not_o ashamed_a to_o take_v their_o word_n to_o plead_v for_o the_o devil_n kingdom_n as_o long_o as_o you_o live_v though_o the_o apostle_n say_v his_o servant_n you_o be_v to_o who_o you_o obey_v so_o he_o which_o obey_v sin_n be_v a_o servant_n of_o sin_n and_o the_o apostle_n james_n say_v let_v no_o man_n say_v when_o he_o be_v tempt_v that_o he_o be_v tempt_v of_o god_n for_o god_n tempt_v not_o to_o evil_a but_o when_o a_o man_n be_v tempt_v unto_o lust_n he_o be_v tempt_v of_o the_o devil_n and_o lust_n when_o it_o be_v conceive_v bring_v forth_o sin_n and_o sin_n when_o it_o be_v finish_v bring_v forth_o death_n so_o be_v not_o deceive_v with_o vain_a word_n for_o such_o as_o you_o sow_v such_o shall_v you_o reap_v if_o you_o sow_v to_o the_o spirit_n you_o

of_o god_n be_v eternal_a life_n so_o come_v all_o to_o the_o gift_n of_o god_n which_o be_v the_o light_n of_o christ_n jesus_n which_o he_o have_v enlighten_v you_o withal_o and_o you_o will_v come_v to_o know_v the_o free_a grace_n of_o god_n unto_o salvation_n which_o will_v teach_v you_o to_o deny_v all_o ungodly_a lust_n and_o not_o to_o plead_v for_o they_o and_o to_o live_v sober_o and_o righteous_o in_o this_o present_a evil_a world_n mark_v this_o be_v the_o fruit_n and_o effect_n of_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n and_o be_v not_o only_o give_v to_o talk_v of_o and_o say_v you_o
