Farewell, Dearest Friend, Never To See One

I Wish There Were More True Conversion, And Then There Would Not Be So Much Backsliding, And, For Fear Of Suffering, Living At Ease, When There Are So Few To Contend For Christ And His Cause.

But Seek Till Ye Find, And, Whatever Ye Find For The Present, Let Your Last Act Be To Lay And Leave Yourselves On The Righteousness Of His Son, Expecting Life Through His Name, According To The Promise Of The Father.

And For Myself, I Think For The Present He Is Calling Me To Another Land; But How Long Shall Be My Abode, Or What Employment He Has For Me There, I Know Not, For I Cannot Think He Is Taking Me There To Live And Lurk Only.

Go On, Then, And Let Your Intent Be Seriousness.

Farewell All Relations And Friends In Christ; Farewell Acquaintances And All Earthly Enjoyments; Farewell Reading And Preaching, Praying And Believing, Wanderings, Reproaches, And Sufferings.
