Amen.
The following are extracts from another letter to the same persons:--
"Though we are far from each other in this evil world, yet I hope
that our Lord Jesus Christ will make us pure from sin, and worthy of
his kingdom, where we shall see each other with that light which
shall not end, in the joy of the holy angels. Ah, my friends, how
great are our mercies and we how unworthy, but especially I!--
unworthy of the gift of the gospel of God, which I have received,
that I might make it known to lost souls around me. But know ye,
very little have I made known about our Lord Jesus Christ. Now, dear
friends, I desire to speak of him to lost souls, in the imperfection
of my mind. But many do not desire even to hear of the sound
doctrine of the Lord Jesus Christ, and yet think to gain heaven,
while they practise in this world according to their wicked desires.
And for this reason, O my sisters, I beseech you that you will
remember this people, lost and fallen under the snares of Satan;
especially my mother, and brother, and all my friends. But more
especially, I beseech you to remember me, a sinner, in your prayers,
every time that you bow the knee before God, the Father of our Lord
Jesus Christ, and the Father of all who fear him, and listen to his
commandments.
