The abundant grace of God be with us both always,
and the love of the Son, and his unfathomable
mercy, and the joy of the Holy Ghost be with
us forever. Amen. To him who has begotten us
again from the dead, be praise forever and ever.
Amen.

I wish to us both the crucified Christ for the protector
and guardian of our souls; may he keep us in
all righteousness, holiness and truth unto the end.
And he will preserve us as his sons and daughters,
yea, as the apple of his eye, if we hold the beginning
499
of our confidence steadfast unto the end. Hebrews
3:14. Hence, let us trust in him, and he
will never forsake us, but preserve us, as he has
preserved his own from the beginning of the world,
and will let no temptation come upon us, but such
as is common to man. Heb. 13:5; 1 Cor. 10:13.

The Lord is faithful, says Paul; he will not suffer
us to be tempted above that we are able. Blessed
be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
who has made us fit to suffer a short, transient affliction
for his name, through his beautiful promises,
which he has given us and all those who remain
steadfast in his doctrine. We may suffer here a
little, but we shall be greatly rewarded. Wis. 3:5.

My dear, beloved husband in the Lord, you have
partly passed through the trial, and have remained
steadfast, eternal praise and glory to the Lord for
his great grace! And I beseech the Lord with tears,
to make me also fit, to suffer for his name; for
all his chosen lambs are appointed thereto, since
he has redeemed them from among men, to be
the first-fruits unto God. Rev. 14:4. Yea, we know,
as Paul says, that if we suffer with him, we shall also
reign with him; if we be dead with him, we shall
also live with him. 2 Tim. 2:12,11. Hence, let us
not despise the chastening of the Lord; for, whom
he loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son
whom he receiveth, as Paul tells us. Heb. 12:5,6.
Herewith I commend you to the Lord, and to
the word of his grace and glory; with which he will
glorify us, if we adhere to it unto the end. The
grace of the Lord be with us.
