“The Seed is above all. In it walk: in which ye all have life. Be
not amazed at the weather; for always the just suffered by the
unjust, but the just had the dominion. All along ye may see, by
faith the mountains were subdued; and the rage of the wicked, and
his fiery darts, were quenched. Though the waves and storms are
high, yet your faith will keep you so as to swim above them; for
they are but for a time, and the truth is without time. Therefore
keep on the mountain of holiness, ye who are led to it by the
light where nothing shall hurt. Do not think that anything will
outlast the truth, which standeth sure; and is over that which is
out of the truth; for the good will overcome the evil; the light,
darkness; the life, death; virtue, vice; and righteousness,
unrighteousness. The false prophet cannot overcome the true; but
the true prophet, Christ, will overcome all the false. So be
faithful, and live in that which doth not think the time long.”
G.F.
After some time it pleased the Lord to allay the heat of this
violent persecution; and I felt in spirit an overcoming of the
spirits of those men-eaters, that had stirred it up, and carried it
on to that height of cruelty, though I was outwardly very weak. And
I plainly felt, and those Friends that were with me, and that came
to visit me, took notice, that as the persecution ceased, I came
from under the travails and sufferings, that had lain with such
weight upon me; so that towards the spring I began to recover, and
to walk up and down, beyond the expectation of many, who did not
think I could ever have gone abroad again.
