OH Friends, Look not out; for he that doth, is darkned. And take heed of Lightness; take heed of the World, and of busying your Minds with things not serviceable. A Wise man's Eye is in his head, but a Fool's Eye is gazing up and down. . . .

And keep to Yea and Nay; for he that hath not Power over his own Tongue, his Religion is vain. . . .

There is not a word in all the Scripture to hold up the Practice of Sprinkling Infants, nor the Word Sacrament, not to hold up an Hour-glass to preach for an Hour's time in a place; but the vain Mind doth hold up many things, which Christ doth not command. Earth maketh Masters (amongst Earthly Men) but let him that ruleth, rule in Love. . . . And he that laboureth let him labour as to the Lord, in Love. So let Love be the Head in all things. . . .

So, be faithful in all things, and keep from the World's vain Customs. Do not wear Apparel, to gratifie the proud Mind, neither Eat nor Drink to make your selves wanton; for it was created for the Health, and not for the Lust, to be as Servants to us, and we Servants to God, to use all those things as to his Glory: To whom be Praises, Honour and Glory for evermore, who hath created all things to his Glory, and so to be used and spent. . . . Look not back, but keep forward. . . . Ye that know the Light, love one another, and dwell in it, and know one another in it.

G.F.
