LETTER VII. From Mr. SMITH to his FRIEND.
THE eternal God keep you in his fear. I have hearty commendations to you and your husband, […] Almighty God to preserve you in well doing, and i• perfect knowledge of his Christ, that you may be found faultless in the day of the Lord. I have heard say, that my friend is given over to vanity; it breaketh my heart not only to hear that he so doeth, but also teacheth others that it is no crime to go to all abomination, which now stand in the idols temples: nevertheless, dear friend, be you not moved to follow sinners, for they have no inheritance with God and Christ But look that by going into the idol temple, you […] the temple of God; for light hath no fellowship with […]. But look, what the Lord hath commanded, that do For if not going to church were without persecution, […] would not learn you that lesson. But all things that […] sweet to the flesh, are allowed of the fleshly. The […] shall reward every man according to his works, and he […] leadeth into captivity, shall go into captivity; and he […] by the fleshly man is led into the flesh, shall of the […] reap corruption. The Lord Jesus give thee his holy Spirit, Amen.
