Swearers Rioters who eat and drink and rise up to Play and live in Pleasures wantonly upon the Earth Fighters Quarrellers Envious Malitious Unjust Unrighteous all such Actions and Practice judge out of the Power of God and out of his Kingdom ALL Friends every where that be Shop-keepers or Merchants or Factors or any other Trades keep low in the Power of God and do not go into things beyond your Capacity nor reach after things more then ye can justly perform and answer all men But all in your Places be just and true that ye may answer all men within and without with Truth and Justice in your Returns that you may keep your Words so say and so do which is the Royal Law of Liberty in all your Tradings else you are a Dishonour to Christianity Therefore fore-see your Business that what you do and what you say you may perform that you may not break your Words and Promises for if you do ye go to Loss neither are ye Masters of what ye take in hand for a Master should be a top of things and be in that which can command things And none to be negligent in their Business but give an Account by Words or Writings how things are with them when others write to them so that none may Wrong one another in these outward things nor oppress one another but be serviceable one to another keeping their Words their going into things beyond their Ability makes them break their Words keeping within their Compass with that which they may answer lest any be lifted up For it is a bad thing to be lifted up and to make a Noise and a Shew for a time with other Peoples Goods and cannot keep their Word their Promise their Day such may be lifted up for a time and Break and Fall and go out as a Stink and bring a great Dishonour to Christ and true Christians And therefore keeping your Word your Day and

Blessing is doubled there you come to be Rich and you are a good Savour to God and in the Hearts of all People So every one strive to be Rich in the Life and Kingdom and Things of the World that hath no End For he that covets to be rich in the things of this World falls into many Snares and hurtful Lusts And therefore let him that buyes or sells or possesses or uses this World be as if he did not Let them be Masters over the world in the Power and Spirit of God and let them know that to owe no man nothing but Love yet serve God in Truth and one another in their Generation For Friends if you be not faithful in the Outward Treasure Outward Mammon who will trust you with the True Treasure or who can believe that ye have the True Treasure but that you speak by hear-say of it So I say to you all See that you are faithful in this outward Mammon this outward Treasure of the things of this Life of this World faithful to your Word faithful to your Dayes faithful to your Promises in all your Tradings Traffickings Bargainings true and just and righteous and honest in these outward Treasures or Mammon concerning the things of this World of this Life of these outward Riches just and faithful true and honest Men and Women in these outward things I say as Christ saith who will trust you with the true and heavenly Treasure if not as before Therefore I say to be Faithful in these Outwards that shews an honest Man and honest Woman faithful in all your Dealings and Practices between Man and Man and Woman and Woman that sheweth an honest Heart and a faithful Man and Woman in outward things that answers the faithful Principle in all people So all Men and Women to be faithful in these outward things one to another that shews the good Heart to receive the true Treasure that you may be faithful in it to God who have been faithful in their outward Treasure or Mammon one to another So let every ones Conversation be without Covetousness let not that be once named among Saints and do to all men as you would have them do to you that is the Law and the Prophets if not judged by them For the Kingdom stands in Righteousness mark stands in it and in Peace and Joy in the Holy Ghost mark in it Postscript HOliness becomes the House of God whosoever acts Unholily it is that doth dishonour his House and doth not become it Whosoever acts Unfaithfully in this Outward Treasure or Mammon or in the True Treasure to God is not justified in the Sight of God nor Man for they are justified by Faith through Faithfulness both of God and Man For whosoever doth Righteousness is of God and he that doth not Righteousness is not of God For God loveth the Righteous and delighteth in them but not in them that do Unrighteousness for in the Righteousness they have Peace but out of Righteousness People have Trouble So all God's People his Children his Saints must be holy as he is holy and therefore do that which is holy and just in all your Lives Conversations and whatsoever ye do let it be done to the Praise and Glory of God mark that have God's Praise and Glory in your Eye in all your Speakings and Doings then you will be preserved to his Glory and then you will honour him and they that honour him he will honour and beautifie and cloathe with the fine Linnen the Righteousness of Christ that men may not see your Nakedness For God will have a holy People to serve him in Holiness a true People to serve him in Truth and in his Spirit and in his new and living Way above all the dead Wayes that are come by Sin and Unrighteousness and Transgression of his Spirit Power and Command So all you that know his Power and Spirit live in it that you may Glorifie God in all your Lives and Conversations and Words that you may answer that of God in all that you may Glorifie God in your Bodies Souls and Spirits which are his who hath made them and gives them to you for that End To whom be Glory and Honour forever who created all for his Glory and for his Honour So the Lord God Almighty keep and preserve you faithful in all things to his Glory and Honor forever G. F. Let this be read in all the Men and VVomen's Meetings THE END
