Note 116 — Chapter XII
Reading edition
This epistle begins: "All Friends everywhere keep out of plots and bustling and the arm of flesh." A little later he writes again:
"Stand in the fear and dread of the Lord God; His power, life, light, seed and wisdom, by which ye may take away the occasion of wars, and so know a kingdom which hath no end, and fight for that with spiritual weapons, which takes away the occasion of the carnal; and there gather men to war, as many as ye can, and set up as many as ye can with these weapons. G. F."
