Truth, and valiant for it upon the Earth; treading, triumphing over, and trampling all Deceit under Foot, inward and outward; having done it in your selves in particular, ye have Power over the World in ge∣neral. And Meet together every-where, and keep the Unity of the Spirit, which is the Bond of Peace; which Circumciseth Inwardly, and puts off the Body of Sin, and Baptiseth all into one Body with one Spirit. And being written all in one another's Heart, have all one Voice, and the pure Language of Truth, where, in all plainness of Speech, things may be spoken in Nakedness of Heart one unto ano∣ther, in the Eternal Unity in one Spirit, which draws off and weans you from all things, that are Created and External (which fade and pass away) up to God, the Fountain of Life, and Head of all things; to whom be Glory, Wisdom, Riches and Honour, God blessed for ever! Who hath blessed us, and given to us Eternal Life, and this Life is in his Son; and he that hath the Son, hath the Father also. And that which the World doth profess and make a Trade withal, the Saints do enjoy and possess; which the World doth not know, but in the Letter.
And all Friends and Brethren, in what ye know, be faithful, re∣joycing and praising the Lord with all Thankfulness, that the wise God should Call you, and Elect you. Oh! dwell in Love in your Hearts to God, and one to another! And the God of Love and Life keep you all in his Power, and Love, and Spirit to himself, that ye may all be kept pure, and stand pure and clean before him. The Work and Harvest of the Lord is great: My Prayers to God are for you, that ye may be faithful, and be kept faithful in the Work.
G. F.
