OH Friends, keep close to the Light in you, and do not look forth at
Words, that proceed from a vain and light Mind; but at the Power of
Words. . . . Therefore ye that know the Voice of the Lord, hearken to
it, and see, how ye are brought into the Obedience of the Truth . . .
keep close to the Light in you, and see that your Minds be kept close to
that and guided by that, it will keep you clear and pure to receive the
Teaching of the Lord. Have Salt in your selves and let your Words be few
and seasoned, that they may be savoury. Dear Friends, watch over one
another in Love, and stir up that which is pure in one another, and
exhort one another daily. And the Lord keep you all in his Fear, and in
his Obedience, now and evermore!
