A Salutation or Testimony of true and Brotherly Love, as it did arise in our hearts, unto all as are concerned therein.  
Dear Friends,  
TO whom the Truth of God hath appeared, and hath been made known amongst us, in the Light of his beloved Son whom he hath sent into the World to discover Darkness and the ways of sin in the hearts and Consciences of the children of men; that so all may depart from it, and the ways of it, as it is made known and discovered to themselves by the Light that shines in their hearts, which is the Standard to try all by, and the Balance to weigh all in, of what sort soever, whether it be of God or no▪ And this is the Rule for all of us to walk by, even the Law of Light, which gives Life and Salvation to all that believes and therein abide. And this is it, which first gathered us together, and begot desires in us after the Lord's Way, with which our Souls are refreshed and our Spirits comforted and consolated, often in the enjoyment of it, more than with our appointed food; when we have met together to wait upon him in his Heavenly Way, and blessed manifestation of Divine Love, He hath filled our hearts with his Heavenly Dew, and refreshed us, as with the early and latter rain; and here the Lords Power we came to feel revealed, which works all our wor●s in and for us, by the Operation of his own Eternal Spirit, by which He is cleansing his Sanctuary, and making all vessels fit for the Master's use, for Life to Reign in; that the Love of God may overflow in all, to the Inviting the Nations, that they may all walk in the Light of the Lamb and be saved; which is and always hath been our desire, and that which we have Breathed unto the Lord for as for ourselves, that so all may come to the knowledge of the Truth and be saved. Wherefore all Dear Friends, mind God's leading Power in all things whereunto you are called, and therein abide with the Lord, answering a conscience void of offence towards God and man: That so the Truth may be Adorned in us all, by a Holy Life and Godly Conversation, as becomes the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ amongst us all; That so God over all may have the Glory and Honour, to whom it belongs for Evermore.  
And now Dear Friends, for as much as we have sometimes met together to discourse of Trades and Callings, but more particularly of our own, and of which we are in being Tailors: in which we have met with many trials on every hand for many years together, though little of it by some of us hath been declared, knowing the Arm and Power of the Lord that supported us thorough all, and hath given us a reward who have stood faithful to his requirings, which is our desire, for all that are convinced of the Lords Truth, and knows his Heavenly Way to walk in it; and where any thing appears to draw back or hinder, to cast it of, though it be as the right Hand or the right Eye, yet if it offends pull it out, and cast it from thee, and Enjoy Life which is more than all. And this is our desire for you all that are our Brethren, who have believed in the Truth, that you keep nothing back that God calls for: and that you have not Peace in your Employments, of which we have sometimes Discoursed, concerning Superfluity, and things altogether needless, and that which some of us for many years have left undone, and we wish it were so with all, that there might be a Clearness and an enlargement in the Lord's Power, and an Increase of his Love, which is much better than the Increase of Corn, and Wine, and Oil. And these things Friends, we lay before you in the Love of God, and in a true sense of the same, as being delivered from under those Burdens, that many yet groan under, and are not Redeemed out of, a● Lace, Ribbons, and needless Buttons, and such like things which the Light doth not Justify; but is out of that in which the true Fellowship stands. And as for the manner and way of Answering the World in Making their Clothes, we leave it to the Witness of God in you all, and as much as in you lies beget them into Moderation; and as for Friends, we hope that they will not desire, nor wear any thing unconvenient, and therefore need say nothing about it more: Beliveing the Lord will so open their Understanding, as that they will Preach to the World in all things, and Adorn themselves as becomes the Gospel; which is the Power of God, by which we are called, and the way in which we are to walk, while we are in these Earthly Tabernacles; that so our Lights may shine forth to the World, that they seeing our good works, may Glorine our Father which is in Heaven, and that to the Brightness of our Rising, many may come and say, Come let us go up to the Mountain of the Lords House, even to the House of the God of Jacob: For he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths. And this is that our very Souls Travel for, to God for you all, and for every one convinced of the Lords Heavenly Truth, that all may enjoy it fully, and that nothing may be wanting; and for this cause is this Written, in the Requirings of the Lords Dear and tender Love to you all, not as exercising Lordship over God's Heritage, nor with Reflection upon any Man's Person; no● for Disputation, nor leading into Parties, or gratifiing any narrow private Judgement, but for the Honour of Truth, and the Glory of God, which is our whole Aim the Lord knoweth; So in the Blessed Unchangeable Truth of God, we salute you all Dear Brethren, and in which we remain in Love unfeigned,  
From our Meeting in London, the 25th of the First Month, 1672. Your Dear Friends and Brethren,
