Of Communion with God the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost

Evidently then, the Saints are the most mistaken men in the §. 18 world. If they say, ⁿcome & have Fellowship with us; are not men ready to say; why, what are you? a sorry company of ^*Seditious Factious Persons: be it known unto you, that we despise your Fellowship; when we intend to leave Fellowship with all honest men, and men of worth, then will we come to you. But alas! how are men mistaken? truly, their Fellowship is with the Father: let men think of it as they please, they have close, spiritual, Heavenly Refreshings in the mutual Communication of Love ⟨p. 39⟩with the Father himself; How they are generally misconceived, the Apostle declares 2 Cor. chap. 6. v. 8, 9, 10. As deceivers, and yet true, as unknown, yet well known, as dying and behold we live, as chastened, and not killed, as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing, as poor yet making many rich, as having nothing, yet possessing all things: And as it is thus in General, so in no one thing more then this, that they are looked on as poor, low, despicable persons, when indeed they are the only great and noble Personages in the world. Consider the Company they keep, it is with the Father, who so glorious? the Merchandise they trade in, it is Love, what so precious? doubtless they are the excellent on the Earth. Psal. 16. v. 3.
