And in that dwell which doth bring out of the Shadows, Types, Traditions, Ungodliness, Unrighteousness, Pride, Filthiness, Lust and Uncleanness. So, the mighty Power of the Lord God be with you all and keep you. And all Friends, dwell in the Life, which from God comes, the Father of Life, that with it ye may see God, and all may be nourished and fed with the living Food, which comes from the Living God. Ye Babes of God, dwell in the Wisdom of God, and in Grace, that ye may grow up in the Wisdom and Grace of God. So, the mighty Power of the Lord be with you all, and keep you in Obedience to the Light, out of the Evil of the World; which Light doth it condemn. Let this go to all them that dwell in the Light, whose Minds are turned towards Jesus, the Way to the Father; Let that be burnt up, which the Light doth discover to be Evil, and condemns it. And to you, this is the Word of the Lord.
