Beloved Friends,Let our niinds be'thus difpofed whcn we

nfider the difpenfation of Jehovah, let us not be-proud in our own conceit; but as we are deficient,kt us befeech him to enlarge our underftandings>^at we may in no place form falfc conclufions,ncither be overcome by the defires abounding iriikis world ; but that our minds may ever view, injlppe of there arriving, that end which is ordained

be the completion of our cxiftence. I do notre particularly cnumcrate every fubjedl of tranf-

gfcflion ; thefe are written not only in the HolyScriptures, but fome traces of them are alfo

rked in our minds, the information in both cafesrrefponding together, are derived from the Su-

pteme ; but the evil which continually interruptsU8 is from beneath: let us but take a view ofour minds, and we fliall fee clearly the never-ceafing contcntion there exifting: it is therefore^r us to nourifh that which proceedeth fromaSove, that it may uninterruptedly encreafe throughtSe merciful aid of the Almighty granting us hisJloly Spirit; but the evil, let us put it underneath,Aat it may not any more draw our minds from

at wliich was fliewn us by our Lord Jefus

As Jehpvah ouf Lotd loveth mankind, and \%Jer mercifully aiding thofe who ftand in need,% are alfo his people, ihat is, the truly pious, con-Idering all men as brethren in whatever quarterjfiay be their place of habitation, and whereverfliey may fee them labouring under difficuhies,feel fof them, and haften to their affiftance. ThusAte the true worftiippers of God, to the extent ofilieif ability, communicating kindnefs to theirfcrethren.

Much have 1 feen of this influence fmce I leftyou ; for truly I have been, as it were, led by theiiand to the abode of thofe who love and revereShe fyftem and precepts he has ordained for us,^and daily ftudy by what means they may fulfil hisI wiil ; I have been much rejoiced by the additionalftrength and aid I have thereby received in reli-gion ; the Almlghty pleafing my mind has beenmuch benefited.

Let us alfo follow the examplr ofthofe who have favoured us with this book ; by ourfpreading the holy religion to the utmoft of ourability, that all our brethren, wherever they maydwell, be made acquainted with the name of JefusChrift, and may know the difpenfation ordainedfor us by God.

Four of the difciples of our blefled Lord,Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, wrote thehiflory of his life, dodlrines, and miracles; of

^tliefe, the latter was the peculiarly bcloved, and is% the moft circumftantlal in the eflential points of"'^ doQrine, and you will fee throughout how ftrongly

is Inculcated reverence to God, and love to manj.^ which let us earneftly pray God ever to preferveI us in, by the influence of His Holy Spirit, andthrough the merits of our Lord Jefus Chrift.
