To all Friends, Prisoners.
DEar Friends and Brethren,
The Seed of God feel all in your selves, which is the Heir of the Power of God, that ye may sit down in the Possession of the same; inheriting the Power, and the Promise, and the Gospel. In which Power of God is the Fellowship, being Heirs of the same, and Members of that Fellowship, which never hath an End, which brings Life and Immortality to Light; which Power of God was, before that was, which darkneth Life and Immortality from People. So, walk in the Truth, then ye walk with the God of all Truth; and walk in the Righteousness, and then ye walk with the Righteous God in all Peace: Walk in Holiness, and then ye walk in that, in which ye see God; which they that do not, see him not. Therefore walk in the Power of God, which goes over the Power of Darkness, which was before it was; which Power of God is the Go∣spel, in which is the Mystery of the Fellowship, a Mystery (I say) to all the Fellowships, that are out of the Power of God. Therefore the Seed of God know, which is the Top-Stone, that it may be over all laid in you, which bruiseth the Serpent's Head, which is the fulfilling of the Prophets and Prphecies; which Seed brings to the Beginning, where are the Pastures of Life. So, in that Meet, in the Seed, in that wait, in the Power of God, in which ye have Life, in that keep your Meet∣ings; which brings to feel that, which was before the Power of Dark∣ness was. And wait to inherit the Wisdom of God, that with that ye may be all ordered to God's Glory in his Life, in which ye may feel Ʋnity with himself, and one with another, and his Presence and Bles∣sings among you, in the Power and Seed of God, which was, before Enmity was; in which is the Ʋnity, and the Holy Will and Domini∣on: Which Power of God brings from all the barren Mountains, where is Death, to the Begtinning, where is Life. My Love is to all Friends in the Everlasting Seed of God, that hath the Promise of Life, and doth inherit the same; in which is the Fellowship with God, and one with another.
