DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

George Fox urges the prophets of the Lord to boldly proclaim the truth
and not to be discouraged by the world's disdain for prophecy. He
emphasizes the importance of remaining true to their divine calling and
responding to the God-given insights within themselves and others. Fox
encourages both men and women in ministry to stay grounded in their
spiritual gifts while warning against pride and the dangers of straying
from God's guidance. He reminds them that true prophecy leads to the Son
of God, who is the ultimate judge of their actions.

(To Friends in the Ministry)

STAND up, ye Prophets of the Lord, for the Truth upon the Earth; quench
not your Prophecy, neither heed them that despise it; but in it stand,
which brings you through to the End. . . . Heed not the Eyes of the
World, ye Prophets of the Lord, but answer that in them all, which they
have closed their Eye to; that ye may to them tell of things to come,
answering that of God in them, that shall remain. Keep ye in your
Habitations, ye Sons of God, that over all the Contrary ye may reign.
And ye Daughters, to whom it is given to Prophesie, keep within your own
Measure, seeing over that which is without, answering that of God in
all.

And despise not the Prophecy, keep down that Nature that would, which is
the same as that is, which acts contrary to that of God in them. Neither
be lifted up in your Openings and Prophecies, lest ye depart from that
which opened, and so come by the Son of God to be Judged, and bidden to
depart as Workers of Iniquity; for a Worker of Iniquity is gone from
that, which leads to the Son of God, who is the End of the Prophets. . .
