George Fox preaches about the importance of dwelling in the Light that
never changes, being convinced and turned from darkness to know the
movings of the Spirit of Life within, which works against death and
brings freedom. He emphasizes the need to be diligent, quick, and lively

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

ALL Friends every where, who with the Light, that never changeth, are
Convinced, and turned from Darkness, In the Light dwell, that ye may
come to know the Movings of the Spirit of Life in you, that moves
against all the Works of Death, and so works Freedom.

A Measure of this living Spirit and Power being known in every one, and
ye kept to it, with it ye are kept diligent, quick and lively, to walk
in the Life, for it is the Life that Redeems, which only Overcomes, and
gives an entrance into Rest.

. . . Take heed of Judging the measures of other, but every one mind
your own; and there ye famish the busie Minds and high Conceits, and so
Peace springs up among you, and Division is Judged. And this know, That
there are Diversities of Gifts, but one Spirit and Unity therein to all,
who with it are guided. And though the Way seems to thee divers, yet
Judge not the Way, lest thou Judge the Lord, and knowest not, that
several Ways (seeming to Reason) hath God to bring his People out by,
yet are all but one in the End. . . . Therefore Silence all Flesh, and
see your own Ways be Clean; and as ye grow therein, the Way of Peace
will be more prized by you, and the perfect Bond ye will come to know:
And all who are here established, shall stand in strength, when others
fall on the right hand, and on the left.
