with its lusts and pleasures is a Syren that leadeth to destruction. Look to thy soul, my Friend, before the day come when thy sight shall fail from thine eyes, and weigh well that which I have written in the scales of justice and by the light of reason. The matter is one of infinite import, and cannot, without eternal risk, be put aside. It concerneth thee, not only in this life, but in the great future before thee, when no vain excuse will be accepted. And know of a certainty that he who rejecteth all vain and false securities, and believeth in the Lord, hath laid hold of a sure refuge, and will find eternal rest in His good pleasure.

Conclusion (164-165).

"I have now done my task to the best of mine ability; and, having delivered my message to the utmost of my power, I leave it with thee, and with all those who shall read this my Book,—praying the Lord to fulfil in thee, and in us all, every good work, redeem us from all iniquity, and join us hereafter in His kingdom above with the chosen ones whom He visiteth with His beneficence and grace.

"And now, Peace be on thee, and mercy from the Lord, and His blessing! Amen."
