{Fourth Part 41} ‘Tis now worthy the Readers Notice, That G.F. takes occasion to write unto John Wilkinson and John Story sometime after the Meeting at Drawel; which being Cited in the Eighth Section of the Second Part of the before-mentioned Manuscript, together with Answer thereto, pertinent on this Occasion; I think meet here to Transcribe the same, together with those Observations that are made thereon, in the said Section.
This is the Word of the Lord to you, John Wilkinson and John Story, and your Company, to call in all your Papers, which ye have given forth in your Separation; which tend to nothing but disquieting Friends Minds, and bring them into Strife, Jangling, and vain Disputing; and corrupt their Minds, and draw them from better Things, and from the Lord, and his Peaceable Truth.
And you may see if you will not shut your Eyes, what your Spirit begetteth into, viz. Strife; and what Spirit is it, that hath led and guided you. So if you do not give over your Work and Separation, the Lord God will blast your Spirit and Work, and you will become hardened, and as bad as the old Opposers, James Naylor, and his Company, and John Perot, and Pennyman, and Cobet, and Muggleton.
{Fourth Part 42} Mark your End; for the Seed of Life Reigns, and will grind to Powder its Opposers.
This 23_d. of 8_th. M_on_. 76. George Fox
