A Second Epistle to Friends c. Friends AS for you who are sufferers this day upon the account of truth whether in bonds or out of them I know and am satisfied that many of you have not need that any man teach you because you are not onely brought to the knowledge of the Anointing but it abideth in you and your delight is holy to obey the same and whatsoever it Commandeth you it is your Meat and Drink to do it because you are born of him from whence it comes and he dwelleth in you and you in him you know his voice and are in a Readiness to obey the same and I know ye are taught of him what he requireth of you so you that are come to this state I know words as to your own particular add but litle because you injoy the end of them Yet I know when any thing proceeds from the same word and Fountain of Life of which you partake feed and drink that may be of service to others that are not come to so high a State that profess the same truth or desire the knowledge of it you can with joy hear the same and are refreshed because thereby the work of the Lord which you delight in is carried on Therefore that which is upon me in the Fear Power and Life of God I shall write and send amongst you that profess the truth as it is in Jesus that it may reach to you to whom it is of service that where the witness of God is owned it may arise and make manifest to each particular what of that which is here written belongeth unto them Friends you who are imprisoned for the testimony of truth happie are you that are faithful in your Testimony for the Lord Now this know that it is them that suffer according to the will of God and Continue in pure obedience thereunto which are acceptable unto him by Jesus Christ in their Testimony Therefore let the pure dread of the Almighty be lived in and let there be a a sure watch kept by every particular in the Light least any thing through the temptation of the Enemy get up in any of you that is contrary to the Lords pure Light and you joyn to it and thereby you and your Testimony come to be defiled and the Lord dishonoured And Friends this know that there are many temptations which oft-times accompany those that are in bonds for the truth which are to be watched against in the pure Light which makes them manifest or else there is a great danger Now it is upon me to speak something concerning some of them that you may watch against them as your deadly Enemies mark as there is a true joy that springs in those that in the true simplicity do suffer for the cause of God so also there is this temptation that sometimes may be presented to some in bonds mark even to think highly of themselves because they are put in prison for the truth ye even to think of themselves because of their sufferings above what they are Now where this temptation is joyned to it puffeth such up in the fleshly false joy and leads out of the fear above the Cross and so becomes very dangerous unto them and such become very burdensome to them that abide in the truth and suffer according to the will of God therefore where any hath such a temptation Oh watch against it that it prevail not and where any are sensible that such a temptation hath prevailed let such sink down to
