And we are persuaded of you through the ⟨p. 399⟩Lord that ye both do and will do the things which we warn you of. You know what commandments we gave you by the Lord. I spake unto you the will of GOD, and not mine own. I was unto you but a messenger, to deliver unto you such an errand as GOD sent unto you: I hope ye have received it in such duty as becometh, and that you both do, and will hereafter obey it. I am your physician. The receipt which I have given you, is sovereign, and shall work your health: I trust it tarrieth with you, & you brook it well. I have spoken unto you in the name of God. His name is holy. He will cause that my labour shall not be in vain, but will make it fruitful in you. Although all men have not saith, yet all men are not void of faith. Although there be many, the children of this world, yet there be some the children of light: he that is of God, heareth the word of God. They that be the sons of God are obedient to the wisdom of god their father. God guide your harts, that you may love him, that you may know what good God hath wrought unto your souls: that you may see the depth of his mercy: that in all your tribulation and adversity under the cross, and in your death, you may look for the day of Christ: when the trumpet shall be sounded, the graves shall be opened, the dead bodies ⟨p. 400⟩shall come forth, and we shall be taken up into the clouds: then shall he change our vile b•die, that it may be like his glorious body: then shall we be like the Angels of God, we shall see God face to face, and rest with him for ever.

I was vnto you but a messenger, to deliuer vnto you such an errand as GOD sent vnto you: I hope ye haue receiued it in such dutie as becommeth, and that you both doe, and wil hereafter obey it. I am your phisitian. The receipt which I haue giuen you, is soueraigne, and shall worke your health: I trust it tarieth with you, & you brooke it wel. I haue spoken vnto you in the name of God. His name is holy. He wil cause that my labor shal not be in vaine, but wil make it fruitful in you. Although al men haue not saith, yet al men are not voide of faith. Although there be many, the children of this world, yet there be some the children of light: he that is of God, heareth the worde of God.
