Furthermore, my dear and much beloved, I have
undertaken to write you a little yet, of the words of
Christ, where he says: If ye love me, keep my commandments.
And I will pray the Father, and he
shall give you another Comforter [that he may abide
with you forever]; even the Spirit of truth, whom
the world cannot receive. . . . Yet a little while,
and the world seeth me no more; but ye shall see
me, and ye know me, says the Lord. John 14:15–17,19,20.
In another place Christ also warns
us, saying: Beware of false prophets, which come
to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are
ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their
fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of
thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth
good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil
fruit. . . . Every tree that bringeth not forth
good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
Matt. 7:15–17,19.

Herewith I bid you adieu with the sure word of
his grace, until his coming. The peace of the Lord
be with you forever and ever. Amen. Receive this
my brief letter in good part.

Written in my bonds out of love, by me,

Clement Hendrickss,

Unworthy prisoner in the Lord.
