“And this is the word of the Lord God to you all, and a charge to you all in the presence of the living God: be patterns, be examples.”

“Be patterns, be examples in all countries, places, islands, nations, wherever you come; that your carriage and life may preach among all sorts of people, and to them.”

“Be still and cool in thy own mind and spirit from thy own thoughts, and then thou wilt feel the principle of God to turn thy mind to the Lord God, from whom life comes.”

“Now the Lord God hath opened to me by his invisible power how that every man was enlightened by the divine light of Christ.”

“I saw that there was an ocean of darkness and death, but an infinite ocean of light and love, which flowed over the ocean of darkness.”

“Stand still in that which is pure, after ye see yourselves, and then mercy comes in.”

“I was glad that I was commanded to turn people to that inward light, spirit, and grace, by which all might know their salvation, and their way to God.”

“The ground of all heresies, is the going from the Spirit of God within.”

“I was to bring people off from all the world's religions, which are vain, that they might know the pure religion.”

“Christ is the Head of the church.”

“And this I knew experimentally.”

“Walk cheerfully over the world, answering that of God in everyone.”

“Let your lives preach, let your lives speak.”

“Let all nations hear the sound by word or writing. Spare no place, spare no tongue, nor pen; but be obedient to the Lord God.”

“And there is a spirit which I feel that delights to do no evil, nor to revenge any wrong, but delights to endure all things, in hope to enjoy its own in the end.”
