First therefore, be sure that you bear your testimony faithfully. Be faithful now in your Witness-bearing, Christians. Christ will pay all the charge that you are at in Witness-bearing. If a man have a Suit at Law, and have five or six Witnesses, and carry them a hundred Miles, he bears all the charge of their Witness-bearing. Saith Christ, I will give power to My Witnesses, they are My Witnesses. Ye are Christs Witnesses, and look whatsoever charge you are at, he will bear the charge, he will bear all the charge of your Witness-bearing: And if your Faith come not home enough, as it should be, yet ⟨p. 125⟩Christ is Faithful though we believe not, and therefore be faithful in your Witness-bearing.
Secondly, Though you be but few, be not afraid, be not discouraged, for Christ will always have enough to bear Witness to his truth in the darkest times.-Comfort ye one another with those words.

Thirdly, Be fruitful as the Olive tree; And be lightsome as the Candlestick. O that God would roll away the reproach of a barren heart from every one of you, and of a barren life. Tis time now to be fruitful that you may be as the Olive-Tree, and as the Candlestick, to hold forth your light to others.
