I fervently bow my knees to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
that you may always be like-minded; that you may ever wait reverently for
the coming and opening of the word of life, and attend upon it in your
ministry and service, that you may serve God in his Spirit. And be it
little, or be it much, it is well; for much is not too much, and the
least is enough, if from the motion of God's Spirit; and without it,
verily, never so little is too much, because to no profit.
For it is the Spirit of the Lord immediately, or through the ministry of
his servants, that teacheth his people to profit; and to be sure, so far
as we take him along with us in our services, so far we are profitable,
and no further. For if it be the Lord that must work all things in us
for our salvation, much more is it the Lord that must work in us for the
conversion of others. If therefore it was once a cross to us to speak,
though the Lord required it at our hands, let it never be so to be
silent, when he does not.
It is one of the most dreadful sayings in the book of God, "That he that
adds to the words of the prophecy of this book, God will add to him the
plagues written in this book.
