Dear Friends

May Jehovah & Jesus Christ. May the three-one our only trust & Saviour bless you!  May my soul be saved by Jesus Christ, may the anger of Jehovah towards me be appeased, who am but a wicked man and guilty of accumulated crimes of regardlessness of ignorance of God, and obstinate perseverance in wickedness!  May Jehovah also pardon my foolishness, unbelief and rejection of the truth, may Jehovah give me his good spirit to sanctify my heart that I may love what is good, & that I may be enabled to put away all my evil customs and become one of his people and be saved through Jesus Christ our only Saviour. You indeed will be saved, you are the people of God.
But I may be banished to hell, God may not regard me, I who am a wicked man, my sins great and accumulated, but O. that we all may be saved through Christ Jesus! May God be appeased towards us all for all of us have been disobedient to him our Lord and Master. Behold the beasts, they are all obedient to man their Lord and Master. Surely we are Fools may the Three One save us.
