in his Spirit and in his truth; by which they are made God’s free
men and women, free from him that is out of the truth.
“Now, Friends, you that have long been labourers, and have known
the dealings of the Lord these twenty years (more or less,) as I
have often said to you, draw up what you can, of those passages
and sufferings which the Lord hath carried you through by his
power, and how by him ye have been supported from the first; that
the Lord may be exalted by his power now, and in ages to come, who
hath been the only support, defence, and stay, of his people all
along, over all to himself; to whom be all glory and praise for
ever and ever, Amen. He deserves it in his church throughout all
ages, from his living members, who return the praise to the living
God, who lives and reigns over all, blessed for ever; who is the
life, and strength, and health, and length of days of all his
people. Therefore let there be no boasting, but in the Lord, and
in his power and kingdom; this keeps all in humility.
“And, Friends, in the Lord’s power and truth, what good you can do
for Friends in prison, or sufferers, by informing or helping them,
every one bend yourselves to the Lord’s power and spirit, to do
his will and his business; and in that all will have a
fellow-feeling of one another’s condition, in bonds, or in what
trials and tribulations soever; you will have a fellow-feeling one
of another, having one head, one Lord, and being one body in him.
For God’s heavenly flail hath brought out his seed, his heavenly
plough hath turned up the fallow ground, and his heavenly seed is
sown by the heavenly man, which brings forth fruits to the
heavenly sower, in some fifty, sixty, and a hundred fold in this
life; and such in the world without end will have life eternal. O,
therefore, all keep within; let your lights shine, and your lamps
burn, that you all may be wells full of the living water, and
trees full of the living fruit of God’s planting, whose fruit is
unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.
