“O therefore, feel the grace and truth in thy heart, that is come
by Jesus Christ, that will teach thee how to live, and what to
deny. It will establish thy heart, season thy words, and bring thy
salvation; it will be a teacher unto thee at all times. By it thou
mayest receive Christ from whom it comes; and as many as receive
him, to them he gives power, not only to stand against sin and
evil, but to become the sons of God; if sons, then heirs of a
life, a world, and kingdom, without end, and of the eternal riches
and treasures thereof. So in haste, with my love in the Lord Jesus
Christ, who tasted death for every man, and bruises the serpent’s
head, who is between man and God, that through Christ man may come
to God again, and praise him through Jesus Christ, the Amen; who
is the spiritual and heavenly rock and foundation for all God’s
people to build upon, to the praise and glory of God, who is over
all, blessed for evermore.”

_The Princess Elizabeth’s answer._
“DEAR FRIEND,
“I cannot but have a tender love to those that love the Lord Jesus
Christ, and to whom it is given, not only to believe in him, but
also to suffer for him; therefore your letter and your friends’
visit have been both very welcome to me. I shall follow their and
your counsel as far as God will afford me light and unction;
remaining still your loving friend,
ELIZABETH.”[43]
Herford, the 30th of August, 1677.
