CONTENT
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear friends, to you is my love in the seed of life, that bruises the
head of enmity [Gen 3:15]; and in this seed you all have life and peace
that is everlasting. And my desires are, that you may all dwell in the
love [1 Jn 4:16] that can bear all things [1 Cor 13:7]. And keep the
word of patience [Rev 3:10], which will never be worn out; for the word
liveth, and abideth, and endureth for ever [1 Pet 1:23], and over all
trials keeps; for the word was in the beginning [John 1:1], and all
things are upheld by the word of his power [Heb 1:3]; in it abide.

And so live and walk in the wisdom that is from above, that is heavenly,
pure, peaceable, gentle, and easy to be entreated [Jas 3:17]. And keep
in the lamb-like nature; for the suffering lamb must have the victory
[Rev 17:14]. And so the man of God must not strive, but be gentle [2 Tim
2:24], and yet valiant for God's truth [Jer 9:3], and not to sell it
[Prov 23:23]; for they that do, go into bondage and captivity; for the
truth maketh all God's people free [John 8:32], and the peaceable  truth
is a peaceable habitation [Isa 32:18]. And so in it God Almighty
preserve you, and all the Lord's people every where, that they may
glorify the Lord God of all their comforts, lives, and mercies. Amen.

G. F.
