of_o the_o answer_n of_o a_o good_a conscience_n towards_o god_n do_v prize_v it_o and_o esteem_v it_o as_o a_o jewel_n of_o great_a worth_n and_o we_o may_v not_o forsake_v the_o way_n of_o the_o

from_o the_o love_n of_o god_n and_o the_o feel_n and_o earnest_n of_o sorrow_n and_o tribulation_n upon_o every_o one_o that_o do_v evil_a therefore_o we_o be_v persuade_v that_o it_o be_v safe_a for_o we_o to_o wait_v upon_o the_o lord_n in_o the_o way_n which_o he_o have_v make_v manifest_a unto_o we_o that_o so_o we_o may_v receive_v the_o power_n to_o renew_v our_o strength_n that_o we_o

of_o god_n that_o his_o love_n and_o life_n blessing_n and_o heavenly_a presence_n may_v be_v with_o we_o better_a to_o suffer_v outward_o in_o prison_n and_o holes_n and_o have_v the_o love_n and_o
