I told them that they were ever learning, and
never able to come to a right knowledge of the
truth. 2 Tim. 3:7. They then said that Christ said
to his apostles: “To you it is given to understand,
but to others in parables.” Matt. 13:11. I replied:
“They who now rightly understand it, to them it is
also given.”

Finally they crossed themselves over and over and
said that I should find it out when I should stand
before the judgment. That is true, I said: we shall
there be appointed judges, to judge this disobedient
and adulterous generation. Matt. 19:28. With this
they went away. I also told them, that they had
come from Satan, to murder my soul.

Once more I wish to my dear husband in the
Lord, and to myself, the crucified Christ, as an imperishable
joy and love, forever. Amen.

Know, my dear husband in the Lord, when I read
that you rejoice so greatly in the Lord, I could not
finish reading the letter, but had to pray the Lord,
that he would give me the same joy, and keep me
unto the end, so that we may offer our sacrifice with
joy, to the praise of our Father who is in heaven,
and to the edification of all dear brethren and
sisters. Herewith I commend you to the Lord, and
to the word of his grace. Know, that I thank you
very much for the letter you wrote me. The grace
of the Lord be with us always.
