Text
WAIT all in that which calls your Mind inward, and turns them to God; and here is the Cross witnessed, that the Mind shall feed upon nothing, but the pure Light of God, and on the living Food, which comes from the living God.
So, the Lord God Almighty be with you all, and keep you all in his Strength and Power to his Glory, over all the World, whose Minds are called out of it. . . .
And the Light of God, that calls your minds out of the Creatures, turns them to God, to an Endless Being, Joy and Peace; here is a seeing God always present. . . . So Fare ye well! and God Almighty bless, guide and keep you all in his Wisdom.
