MY Dear Friends, Live in the Immortal Seed and Power of the Lord God, that ye may Meet in that, and in that feel one another. And live in the Spirit, in which, ye will have Unity and Peace, and the Spiritual Weapons, to cut down the Spiritual Enemies to your Peace. And dwell in the Life and Power of God, that ye may have Dominion, and come to witness, that ye are the Heirs of the Power of an Endless Life, and of a World, whereof there is no End, and so, in this keep your Meetings.
And dwell in the Peaceable Seed, which destroyeth that which causeth Troubles, Wars, and Fightings; in that dwell, which was before that was, in that will ye have Life and Peace Everlasting. . . .
And the Everlasting Command of the Royal Seed is to love Enemies, (which the Jews were allowed to destroy) for ye are all Brethren. . . .
