Text
. . . As the glorious Truth is springing and manifest among you, live and walk all worthy of what ye are called unto. . . . Live in the Dominion of the Life that is hid in God, and every particular it know in one another. And live in the Power of God, and of Life, that ye may see over the Day of Tempest, over the Day of Darkness and Blackness and Mists: And feel, and know, and come into that, which comprehends the World; that ye all may be guided with Wisdom, and ordered to God's Glory. . . . And feel the Seed of God in you all. . . .
. . . And keep that uncer, that feeds upon Dust, which the Glory and Life is over; which Seed breaks the Strength of all Men, and inherits the Strength of the Almighty. . . . So feel the Seed, which is Christ in you all . . . and come into the living Way. For whose Way dyes, they err from the living Principle of God in them; for who walk in the Way that lives, they answer the Principle of God in every Man; though they act contrary to it, that are in the Way, that dyes, and do not live, but change and alter: So the Lamb must get the Victory in every one of you, which is Christ in the Male and the Female. . . .
And my Dear Lambs, and Babes, and Plants of the Lord God, dwell every one of you in Your own, that ye may feel the pretious Springs of God. . . .
So, live in Love, Meekness, Patience, and in the Power and Wisdom of God, which is over all the World. . . .
This is the Message of the Lord to all Nations, Let all your Laws be according to that of God in all Consciences.
