And so, the Lord God of power be with you, and keep you. And the Lord God Almighty give you dominion over the beasts of the field, and the fowls of the air, the fishes in the sea, and all creeping things [Gen 1:26,28]. And the Lord God Almighty be with you all! Farewell. And all live in peace, in love, in life, and in the power of the Lord God, and keep your meetings, every one of you waiting in the power of God upon him; that in it ye may have unity with God, the Father, and the son [1 Jn 1:3], and one with another [1 Jn 1:7]. And, dear friends, let wisdom guide you in patience, and do not strive with any in meetings; but dwell in the power of the Lord God, that can bear and suffer all things [1 Cor 9:12, 13:7]. And make no strife [Phil 2:3] among Friends, but live in that which makes for peace, and love, and life, in which edification is known [Rom 14:19]. G.
