sell goods cheap, that ye may spier for his shop again; and he draws all the sale to himself. I council you to go no farther than Christ. And now when it come to your door, either to sin or suffer, I council you to lay your account for suffering; for an out-gate coming from another airth, may be prejudical to your soul's interest. And for your encouragement remember he sends none a warfare on their own charges. And blest is the man that gives Christ all his money. It will be best with you to block with him, when you want hand money. And the less yeu have, he has the more heart to trust to you. And so it is best with you to keep in with your old acquaintance Christ. New acquaintance with strange lords in the ready way to make a wound in grace's side, which will not heal in haste; the sore may close before the wound dry up for grace is a tender place, and is very easily distempered with the backslidings of our present time. And if the wheels of it be once broken with sin, all the money in the world will not make it go about, until it be put in Christ's hand. I hope have said more on this matter than is needful; for I have seen the marks of tenderness deeply drawn on your carriage. The safest way to shift the showers, is to hold out of God's gate, and keep within his doors, until the violance of the storm begin to ebb, which is not yet full tide. Christ deals tenderly with his young plants and waters them oft, lest they go back. Be painful and lose not life for the seeking. Grace, mercy, and peace, be with you.
