And this I do Warn you of, Boast not your selves above your Measures, but dwell in the Truth it self; that with the Measure of the Living Spirit of the Living God, ye may be guided up to God, in which Spirit ye will all have Unity in the least Measure of it. And so every one of you Judge Self, for it would have the Mastery; which is to be Condemned with the Light, in which is Unity. So, the Eternal God of Light, and Life and Power be with you all, and in you all! And keep from all Strife, and above it, in Love and Unity in every Place. And Friends, the going from the Life into the Changable, is the Cause of Strife and Confusion.
