ALL Dear Friends everywhere . . . Be faithful, and dwell in that which
is Pure. . . . Take heed of the World's evil Ways, Words, Worships,
Customs and Fashions, neither let fair Speeches draw you out, nor hard
Speeches trouble you and make you afraid; But fear the Lord God of
Heaven and Earth, who by his mighty Power upholds all things. And be
bold in the Power of 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 general.

And Meet together every-where and keep the Unity of the Spirit which . .
. 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 another 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.

And all Friends and Brethren, in what ye know, be faithful. . . . Oh!
dwell in Love in your Hearts to God and to one another! And the God of
Love and Life keep you all in his Power, and Love, and Spirit to
himself.

. . . My Prayers to God are for you, that ye may be faithful, and be
kept faithful in the Work.
