(To a Friend under an Exercise of the Spirit)

KEEP Low in the Power, . . . and live up in the Seed, which was before the Devil was, that thou maist have Life and Peace, in that which was before Death was. And in the Seed Christ thou wilt have Dominion over all thy Enemies. . . . And that which letteth thee to see thy Hardness, Darkness, Thoughts and Temptations, and the Tempter, and thy Confusion, Deadness and thy Wants, is the Light, and Power and Spirit of God in thee, which the Bad Spirit perswadeth thee to look out at. And then thou murmurest and complainest, and are discontent, and not quiet, and then the Enemy and Death covers thee, and through that, the Mind comes to be unestablished. And therefore keep to the Good Spirit in thee . . . and thy Mind being staid by that, it will inform thee . . . And keep thy Mind in the Seed, in that is thy Life, and look at the Good, and not at the Bad, but over it. . . . For it is not a Sin to be tempted, and that which the Accuser layeth to thee, and thy Mind being against it, and not yielding to it, it will never be laid to thy charge. And that thou wilt see, as thou with the Power of the Lord dost over-come. And God give thee Dominion in the LIfe and Power and Truth, in which is the Blessing and Peace; and the Lord God Almighty, bless thee in that. Doubt not, faint not, question not. . . . And when thou hast been troubled, and resisted the Tempter, hath not the Angel of the Lord after minstred to thee, to the strengthening of thee?
