Let Us Then Try What Love Will

True Godliness Does Not Turn Men Out Of The World, But Enables Them To Live Better In It And Excites Their Endeavors To Mend It.

A Garden, An Elaboratory, A Work - House, Improvements And Breeding, Are Pleasant And Profitable Diversions To The Idle And Ingenious: For Here They Miss Ill Company, And Converse With Nature And Art; Whose Variety Are Equally Grateful And Instructing; And Preserve A Good Constitution Of Body And Mind.

That Which The People Called Quakers Lay Down As A Main Fundamental In Religion Is This- That God, Through Christ, Hath Placed A Principle In Every Man, To Inform Him Of His Duty, And To Enable Him To Do It; And That Those That Live Up To This Principle Are The People Of God, And Those That Live In Disobedience To It, Are Not God's People, Whatever Name They May Bear, Or Profession They May Make Of Religion. This Is Their Ancient, First, And Standing Testimony: With This They Began, And This They Bore, And Do Bear To The World.

The Country Life Is To Be Preferred, For There We See The Works Of God; But In Cities Little Else But The Works Of Men. And The One Makes A Better Subject For Contemplation Than The Other.

He That Lives In Love Lives In God.
