Christ Gal. 1.11.12 And such do not Minister for any selfish by end nor for hire or reward but for the Glory of the Lord to draw Men from the dark things of the World to God who is Light which caused the Apostle Paul to say Wo is me if I preach not the Gospel 1 Cor. 4.16 He was a true Minister of Christ the word of God and so are all those according to their measures who are constrained to Minister by the Life Power of God who worketh wonderfully according to his Will and those who receive this virtue from his free liberal hand they are stirred up by his Spirit and Power to give freely that which they have freely received And now what this dying young Man laid upon me to tell his Brothers and Sisters I am not only willing to do that but also give this forth in Print and bestow the same freely to those who are willing to read it desiring that all may lay to Heart that exhortation of this dying young man and according to his words to take their minds from the things of the World and have their minds fixed upon the Lord that so when they die they may die in the Lord and be blessed Though there are but few words in that exhortation yet it contains so much as the new Birth without which as Christ said unto Nicodemus a man cannot enter into the Kingdom of God John 3.5 Therefore in true Love my advice and Counsel is to all Friends Children and those who are newly convinced such as have been long convinced are not come so far as to feel find their hearts minds and spirits changed and renewed by the spirit power of God which would cleanse purifie sanctifie them throughout body soul spirit See that not one of you take up a Rest or Satisfaction in that you are the Children of the Professors of the Truth and have been Educated in the way of Truth and have all a-long come to Friends Meetings or in that it is the very Truth which you do profess but press forward to run the race of the Righteous which is set before you that you may obtain the Prize of the high calling of God in Christ And in the humility of your Hearts Minds Spirits wait upon the Lord earnestly desiring night and day that he may send into your Possession the Spirit of Truth to lead you into all Truth out of untruth from under the power of Satan unto the power of God out of darkness into that marvellous Light which shines in the dark Heart that your Candle may be lighted by the Lord according to David's Testimony who said thou wilt Light my Candle the Lord my God will enlighten my darkness Psal 18.28 that so you may become the Children of Light Sons and Daughters begotten of God who is Light and in whom is no Darkness at all 1 John 1.5 that you may be Holy according to that saying of the Lord be you Holy for I am Holy 1 Pet. 1.15.16 That your Heavenly Father may feed you day by day with Bread from Heaven to strengthen your inward Man and give you the Wine of the Kingdom to make your Souls to rejoyce that you may have full Assurance before you go hence that the Lord in his Love and tender Mercy will receive your Souls when the Soul returns to God from whom it came and the Body returns to the Earth from whence it was taken So desiring that the Grace of God may abound over all in you and bring you into perfect Peace with the Prince of Peace whose Love is universal to all the Sons and Daughters of Men in which Love I remain a Friend to all Mankind The 24th Day of the first Month called March 1686 / 7.
