MY Dear Friends,
Live in the Wisdom of God, which is gentle and pure from above, and easie to be intreated, all bear one ano∣thers Burdens, and so fulfil the Law of Christ. And if any weakness should appear in any in your Meetings, not for any to lay it open and tell it abroad, that's not Wisdom that doth so; for Love covereth a
multitude of Sins, and Love preserves and edifies the Body; and he that dwells in Love dwells in God; for God is Love, and Love is not easily provoked; and therefore keep the Law of Love, to keep down that which is so provoked; for that which is easily provoked hath Words, which are for Condemnation. Therefore let the Law of Love be amongst you, which is not easily provoked; and this Law of Love being amongst you, it will keep down that which is so provoked, and its Words; and so the Body edifies it self in Love.
G. F.
Epist. 256.
