The travels of true godliness, from the beginning of the world to this present…

James, From whence come wars and fighting among men? Come they not hence, even of their lusts that war in their members?¹ Ye lust and have not, ye kill and desire to have, and cannot obtain, &c. If you have bitter envyings and strife in your hearts, glory not, lie not against the truth; (mark that) this wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish. O blessed St. James, thou hast cleared me, for I True Godliness am the Truth, whosoever receives me, receives the Truth, the ⟨p. 78⟩Doctrine of Truth, and the Truth of Grace. But pray, St. James go on, Where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. But the wisdom that is from above, is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without wrangling, and without hypocrisy. It is enough I always teach men and women, who embrace me, to be holy, peaceable, gentle, and easy to be entreated, full of mercy, to hate hypocrisy, and all the deeds of the flesh. Therefore take notice, if any who are called by my name, or profess love to me, are unholy, quarrelsome, given to strife, debate and contention, falling out with their Neighbours▪ making causeless disturbance in the Town, Place, or House where they dwell, I do this day disown them; and indeed I fear 'tis they who have in part exposed me to reproach and contempt in these evil days.
