Concerning Works.

GOod Works are such as proceed from the spirit of God the fountain, from whence all good comes. And they who keep in the living faith, it works by love, and where the love of God is in the heart, there ariseth good thoughts, and good words, and good works. And here the good tree is known that brings forth good fruit: but on the contrary, such as are guided by the spirit of the world, are out of the faith and love of God, and from such ariseth evil thoughts, and evil words, and bad works: and here the evil tree is known that can∣not bring forth good fruit: And to the root of this tree the Axe is laid to hew it down even for the fire: so the children of Light, they discern what the tree is by its fruit, and what the fountain is, by the water that springs from it.
