BELOVED Friend
In Him be faithful, who is our CROWN. Let no man take our glorious CROWN from us.
We have a Light which we do well to take heed unto, that shines in a dark place,
until the Day dawn and the DAY STAR arise in our hearts.
EVERLASTING COMMANDER who says love our enemies.
FIRST and the Last, the Top and Cornerstone. In him sit down in Life, Peace and Rest.
GOVERNOR who governs His Church in righteousness.
None comes to be children of the Light but by receiving Christ, the HOPE OF GLORY.
Christ sets up an INWARD, spiritual ministry, a spiritual worship and Fellowship,
a Church without spot or wrinkle and a religion that is pure from above.
Every one of us hear his voice that speaks from heaven. In him we shall know that which cannot be shaken. There is the true JOY.
KING of KINGS and LORD of LORDS, LAMB. Let Him rule and reign in all our hearts by Faith.
Deliverer, MEDIATOR and intercessor who makes Peace between everyone and God.
Neither be ashamed of the Bishop who is the OVERSEER of our souls.
PROPHET, to open to us, a PRIEST forever to sanctify us, an everlasting PREACHER, whom God has anointed to preach Grace, Life, Salvation and Truth to us. PROMISE, who opens and none can shut.
The QUICKENING Spirit and ROCK of our age and ages, the Lord from heaven.

Christ the SEED never changes but stands steadfast and distinct from all the changeables.
Dwell in this immortal SEED of God who is to have Dominion in all of us.
And there is the SAFE SITTING in Christ, the new and living Way, the Word of God, the Power of God, the Light, the Life and Truth, the first, the last, the beginning, the ending, in whom is no shadow of turnings nor variableness. The saints sit in Christ, the head, and there are the exceeding riches and the kindness known again. Letter 222, section 8, 1662
All dwell in Christ Jesus who is UNCHANGEABLE so that we come to judge all the changeable ways and worship.
Death is swallowed up in VICTORY. For by man, namely Adam, came death and by man, namely Christ, came the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so, in Christ shall all be made alive.
Keep under the WINGS of Christ who destroys the destroyers.
Take Christ as our eXample that there be no strife among us; take Christ as our eXample and cry, "Father forgive them." eXalt Him in our assemblies.
Collar the oxen, bridle the horses, tame the wild heifer. Bring us to Christ’s YOKE so that we may see our way of salvation.
Be clothed with the ZEAL of Christ and stand against all that is contrary to the Light.
George Fox has a passionate love of Christ which spills over in all the wonderful names that he gives Him.
