And O that there were more of such faithful labourers
in the vineyard of the Lord!--Never more need since the day of God.
Wherefore I cannot but cry and call aloud to you, that have been long
professors of the truth, and know the truth in the convincing power of
it, and have had a sober conversation among men; yet content yourselves
only to know truth for yourselves, to go to meetings, and exercise an
ordinary charity in the church, and an honest behaviour in the world, and
limit yourselves within those bounds; feeling little or no concern upon
your spirits, for the glory of the Lord in the prosperity of his truth in
the earth, more than to be glad that others succeed in such service.
Arise ye in the name and power of the Lord Jesus! Behold how white the
fields are unto harvest, in this and other nations, and how few able and
faithful labourers there are to work therein! Your country-folks,
neighbours, and kindred, want to know the Lord and his truth, and to walk
in it. Does nothing lie at your door upon their account! Search and
see, and lose no time, I beseech you, for the Lord is at hand.
I do not judge you; there is one that judgeth all men, and his judgment
is true.
