And take heed of many Words for they gender unto Bondage and in the multitude of them there is evil and where they are much used and not in the Power and Wisdom of God for Edification and Comfort one of another they bring Anguish and Pain upon the Seed of God And be Watchful over the Boaster that nothing may arise in any of you to glory in your Parts or Gifts or Sufferings and bring forth an Exaltation in what is made manifest and your Suffering for it And being many in this Day whose Testimony is now born forth in a state of Suffering and are in Prisons together for Truths Cause and your Obedience to the Commands of Jesus Christ be diligent in your Walking and run not into many Words one with another but as they may stand in some Service Nor glory not in your Sufferings one unto another for so will the Enemy work a Conceitedness in you and lift you up in it and then draw a Security over you through Sufferings And beware you run not into affectionate Unity one with another which doth not stand in the Wisdom of the Seed Oh! you will find my Brethren the great need of Watching and Praying that ye may not enter into Temptations And what I say unto One I say unto All Watch that the Enemy may not get any Advantage upon you to hurt and wound the Innocent Life in you And Brethren be diligent to the Lords Counsel every moment of time that you in his hand may be kept and in his Power preserved that the Wicked One which is near unto you may not have power to touch you And now is the Lord God Trying you in a state of Suffering that through the Path of Suffering he may wean you and draw you out of all the Paths of the World and from the Desire and Love of all things in it so as you may forget your Kindred and your Fathers House with all your outward Relations whatever they may be unto you And all your Earthly Substance of what nature soever it is yea and your lives also For through the Affectionate love unto things that are without the Pure love to God hath been cooled within so that many have not only cooled in their Love but have quite lost it by letting in the Tempter and running into his Temptations which he hath presented in the Earthly Substance and outward Relations And this is the Ground of your Suffering Brethren that you may be a Redeemed People unto God and not to have your Love or Life in any thing besides him and yet have a true Interest and Possession of all things in him and hither will the Lord God try you that the Scripture may be fulfilled He that loves any thing more than me is not worthy of me And this Cup will be sharp to drink when Life and Substance and Relations must be given up and exposed to the Censure and also to the danger of Loss in the Wills of Cruel and Wicked men And this is not to set the Wicked over you but to exalt the Seed in you and set it in everlasting Dominion For Iniquity must have its Day and be filled up and the Sufferings must be compleated and finished through the whole Body that they which are gone before us and we that follow after them in Faithfulness may be all made perfect in One Oh! Keep your Eye out of all things below and keep it single to that which is above that you all may be ready to Answer his Will in what he calls unto or permits to come And Faithfully follow the Lamb for He alone must Reign this is his Day and in his Glory he is Risen do not Deny him but bear forth your Testimony to him and in his Life an Holy Kiss of Peace doth reach you and with the Lip of unfeigned Love doth Greet you and Salute you even with tender Yearning Bowels over you 20th Day of the 11th Month 1660.
