Text
ALL Friends, be Low, and in the Life of God dwell, to keep you Low. Ye are the Salt of the Earth, to make it savoury unto God: Ye are the Light of the World. Therefore walk in the Light of Christ, whose Light doth Justifie you, who then shall condemn you? Therefore in that dwell, which doth Condemn all the Evil in the World.
And all Friends every where, pray to the Lord to give you Dominion over all, and that in his Power, and Life, and Seed, ye may live and reign.
And all Friends, submit your selves one to another, in the Fear of God, and be one with the Witness of God in all, and look at that, and that will keep you down from looking at the Bad; but looking at the Good, keepeth your Minds over the Bad, with the Lord. G.F.
