予竊自思、能安以為爾赤子、斯土膏腴、列國之民以為佳業、焉能予爾。轉念曰、爾稱予為父、無違逆予、則可。

我自問曰、我何以視爾為子、何以賜爾美地、列國之民所視為美業者、曰、爾惟稱我為父、勿離棄我、或作我曾應許曰我必使爾在諸子中極為昌大將萬國所珍愛之美地賜爾為業我曰但欲爾稱我為父勿離棄我

當爾幼沖、我誨爾諄諄、何至今日、不以我為父。

亞伯拉罕不知我、以色列不識我、惟耶和華我父也、我救主也、自古迄今、斯名不易。

贖法下人、使我眾得為子、既得為子、則上帝遣厥子之神在爾心、籲之曰、阿爸、父也、如此、則為子、而非僕矣、既為子、則因基督為上帝嗣子、

依厥善意、念耶穌基督、預定我儕為子、

我必使之道同志合、共寅畏予、以徼福禧、奚及子孫、我與之立約、使彼寅畏、不違逆予、我必不遐棄厥裔、惟降福祉、永世弗替。

主曰、爾出不潔者中、自為樹立、不近於彼、吾則納爾、全能之主曰、吾必為爾父、爾為我子女也、

彼為我所導、必哭泣禱告而來、我為以色列族之父、以法蓮人為余冢子、我使彼履道坦坦、行於溪畔、無虞顛趾。

侵伐樂郊、覆亡眾國、惟以東、摩押、及亞捫、貴顯之臣、得免於難、

父愛我儕、恩深罔極、賜我儕得稱為上帝子、世不識父、亦不識我、良朋乎、今我儕為上帝子、末路若何、未能逆睹、所可知者、主顯著時、我見而克肖之、懷此望者、必自潔如主、

北王任意而作、莫之能禦、亦至樂郊、以成其志、

二海之間、爰有聖山、尊榮無比、敵至、張宮帷於斯、後必殞亡、援手無人。

耶和華曰、以法蓮豈非我之赤子、我所眷愛者哉、予責之、輒生憐念、予矜憫為懷、復加以撫恤。

耶和華與、爾乃我父、我若泥塗、爾若陶人、為爾甄造。

智者必榮、愚者必辱。

祝謝吾主耶穌基督之父上帝、因其鴻慈、甦耶穌基督、賜我重生、可望永生、得無敝無玷無廢之業、為我備於天、

四角之一、復生小角、遂成強大、東南二境、以及樂郊、為其所據、

爾曹信基督耶穌、皆為上帝子、

勿效之、蓋未求之先、爾所需者、父已知之、是以祈禱云、吾父在天、願爾名聖、

殘賊眾多、毀我園囿、蹂躪我業、使我良田、變為曠野。

今而後、爾非奴之操心危、所操者乃子之心、籲曰、阿爸父也、即神在我心、證吾人為上帝子、既為子、即為嗣、乃上帝嗣、與基督同為嗣、同苦者同榮、

維彼腴壤、民藐視之、主之所言、人弗信從兮、

既立盟誓、導爾祖出埃及、至產乳與蜜之地、其地為列國所羨美、我素所選者、

以法蓮乎、我安忍舍爾、以色列乎、我焉肯棄爾、豈能視爾若押馬、敗爾若西編、我回厥志、慈愛之念、頓發於中、

其至己地、人不受之、受即信其名者、賜之權、為上帝子、是非由血氣、非由情欲、非由人意而生、乃由上帝也、

然吾儕惟信主以得救、非若背道者、至於沉淪、

耶和華曰、爾之赤子、我使之果腹、尚有背予者、指他上帝而發誓、集於娼妓之室、狥欲而行、我見此、豈能宥爾。
