              My Friend
          It grieves me greatly to see you so taken up with the vanities & trifle

 I trust that God in time just has been favoured you with the striving of his holy spirit
 I have reason to fear that you are left to yourself, remember what God words crossed out hath said  my spirits
shall not always strive with men to? consider what a retched condition you are in, If you perish it were better thence? on?
 times for you had never been born? blotted out  will be
