ALL my Dear Friends,
Keep up your Heads above the Waters and the Sea, in which there is a Tempest. Fear not the Devil, nor all his Darts nor Weapons, nor all his Soldiers and Instruments, that he keeps in League with; but mind the Power of God, and the Light of Jesus, and be cloathed with, and put on the Armour of Light, and the Helmet of Salvation, and the Breast-plate of Righteousness, the Shield of Faith, in which ye have Victory and Unity, and Access to God. And dwell in Patience and Love to God, and one towards another; for the Lamb must have the Victory over them all, the Wild Beasts in the Field or Wilderness, who are in the Fall from God. Aud tho' these Beasts Horns be never so long, yet the Lamb shall conquer them; who gets the Victory, and overcomes, and takes away the Sin. And the Lamb hath Wisdom, the Lamb hath Power; follow him, then ye shall

have his Mind, Wisdom and Patience; and in that ye follow the Spirit of Truth, and are led by that (against which there is no Law) in which there is Life and Peace, and Fellowship with the Son and the Father, and all the Saints and their Words. Therefore live in the Truth, and then ye live in Christ the Way, that lives, who was, before the Ʋntruth was, in which the many Ways in the Wilderness are. And living in the Truth, ye live in the Love and Ʋnity, yea in that, which was before the Enmity was and Imperfection; in which Truth is all Perfection of Love and Life, and Light, which Light, Life and Truth is the Way to God, in whom the Church is, which Christ is the Head of. And who come to this Church, they come into God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ; and who come to God, they must come into the Light, Life and Truth. And that is the Way, in which People are re∣newed into God's Image of Holiness and Righteousness again, in which God is seen: Which Way is out of the Ways of Man, that is fallen from the Image of God's Righteousness and true Holiness; in which Way are all the Gadders abroad from God, out of the Life.
