of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n and_o in_o unfeigned_a seek_v after_o fellowship_n with_o he_o believe_v on_o his_o grace_n confess_v what_o be_v sinful_a turn_v from_o our_o evil_a way_n lay_v hold_n of_o

of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n all_o this_o be_v true_a brethren_n i_o will_v infringe_v no_o part_n of_o it_o only_a answ_n this_o let_v i_o say_v you_o will_v be_v loath_a to_o provide_v no_o better_o for_o temporal_n you_o will_v be_v loath_a to_o set_v a_o town_n where_o there_o be_v no_o river_n nor_o fountain_n and_o if_o you_o do_v sit_v down_o where_o there_o be_v no_o fountain_n yet_o you_o

wisdom_n to_o sit_v down_o where_o there_o be_v no_o river_n because_o you_o have_v no_o right_n to_o they_o by_o the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n that_o will_v not_o be_v a_o sufficient_a reason_n in_o thing_n concern_v this_o natural_a life_n why_o then_o do_v not_o build_v further_o on_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n for_o spiritual_a river_n than_o you_o will_v do_v for_o natural_a but_o rather_o prize_v spiritual_a river_n above_o natural_a as_o more_o worthy_a than_o all_o natural_a comfort_n to_o be_v look_v after_o therefore_o when_o ever_o you_o be_v about_o such_o a_o work_n as_o this_o take_v the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n along_o with_o you_o and_o take_v river_n and_o fountain_n of_o water_n that_o as_o you_o look_v for_o river_n and_o fountain_n for_o the_o refreshment_n of_o your_o cattle_n and_o servant_n and_o child_n you_o may_v find_v a_o live_a fountain_n of_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n convey_v and_o run_a in_o the_o plantation_n where_o you_o intend_v to_o sit_v down_o otherwise_o you_o will_v find_v the_o spring_n there_o and_o the_o fountain_n and_o river_n you_o sit_v down_o by_o rise_v up_o in_o judgement_n against_o you_o that_o these_o be_v the_o

in_o the_o outmost_a corner_n of_o a_o country_n or_o in_o some_o other_o country_n all_o be_v one_o therefore_o sit_v down_o no_o where_n without_o good_a minister_n if_o it_o be_v possible_a and_o

of_o eternal_a life_n rather_o than_o run_v such_o hazard_n you_o have_v see_v when_o some_o have_v make_v a_o beginning_n without_o minister_n they_o have_v stay_v three_o or_o four_o year_n before_o
