My Dear Niece, my heart is careful for you; and therefore I cannot cease, while I am in being in this World, to warn and admonish you, as my Children, and to call upon you in the Name of the Eternal God, to awaken your selves with all Godly fear and holy diligence, lest by any means you should come short of the glory of God.

Let me mind you, dear Cousins, of the dangerous place your stand in, and look about you with trembling. Methinks I see Satan watching for your Souls, as the Dragon did for the Seed of the Woman, waiting to devour it as soon as she should be delivered. Know you not, that you must wrestle with Principalities and Powers? Methinks I see Temptations surrounding you, and beleaguering you, as the enemy about the Walls of the Treacherous party within you, I mean carnal affections and corruptions, complo• tinge how to deliver up the Castle. Know you not, that your fleshly Lusts do war against your Souls? and that your own hearts are not true to you, but deceitful above all things? Lord, what need have you to bestir your selves, and to fly unto Jesus! to distrust your selves, and to trust only in him and his Righteousness! Oh work your Salvation with •ear and trembling: Do you ever think to escape these mighty enemies, to conquer the power, and avoid the plots and snares of those potent adversaries, without most painful diligence? O cry to Heaven for help; watch and pray; fear, lest a promise being left of entering into rest, either of you should come short of it.
