His next Brothers name was Andrew, a Citizen of London, who was with him and saw him in this triumphing state; but (his necessary business calling him away) he could not then be by; yet, he was not forgot, but he was thus blessed, The God of Heaven remember my poor Brother at London! The Lord make him truly rich in giving him the Pearl of great price, and make him a Fellow-Citizen with the Saints, and of the House-hold of God; the Lord deliver him from the sins of that City, may the world be kept out of his heart, and Christ dwell there. O that he may be as his name is, a strong man, and that I may meet him with Joy.

I hope the Lord hath showed thee the worth of a Christ: Hold on dear Brother; Christ, Heaven and Glory, are worth striving for: The Lord give thee more abundance of his grace.
