of  his  own  Seed  new  fpiritual  Acknowledgments,  and  a  lov-
ing Return  in  the  Lord  for  you,  Why  ?  becaufe  it  is  rare  to

Friend,  1  certainly  know  that  if  you  are  one  of  God's  Eleft,
you  cannot  be  offended  with  me  for  writing  the  Truth,  though
at  prefent,  I  be  contrary  to  you  in  Spirit.  Again,  you  write

and  Blood,  and  you  would  fpeak  fomewhat  concerning  me,

of  thofe  Words.
