Text size

_'Let not anything straiten you
when God moves.'--W. DEWSBURY,
Epistle from York Tower, 1660._

_'All friends and brethren
everywhere, that are imprisoned
for the Truth, give yourselves up
in it, and it will make you free,
and the power of the Lord will
carry you over all the
persecutors. Be faithful in the
life and power of the Lord God and
be valiant for the Truth on the
earth; and look not at your
sufferings, but at the power of
God; and that will bring some good
out of all your sufferings; and
your imprisonments will reach to
the prisoned that the persecutor
prisons in himself.... So be
faithful in that which overcomes
and gives victory.'--G. FOX._

_'Bread and Wine were the Supper
of the Lord in the dispensation of
Time, ... a figure of His death,
which were fulfilled when He had
suffered and rose again, and now
He is known to stand at the door
and knock, "If any man hear my
Voice and open the door, I will
come in and sup with him and he
with me," saith Christ. And we
being many are one Bread and one
Body and know the Wine renewed in
our Father's Kingdom. Christ the
Substance we now witness; Shadows
and Figures done away; he that can
receive it, let him.'--W. DEWSBURY._
