Chapter 48:
These Things Do, Beloved
<< Previous | Home | Next >>
1. MY BELOYED, I adjure you; think on these things.
2. A goodly recompense hath come to you: I have told you of
the vision, I have lifted you up.
3. When men shall revile you and persecute you, have a
thought to their error, give them your grace, make them a
promise, show them no defilement.
4. Behold it is the last days that ye do travel well: have the
prophets not sung it?
5. These are my commitments: that ye keep the faith, that ye
pause not in well-doing, that ye lift up the fair countenance, that
ye give the world a blessing.
6. The lion and the lamb have a common benediction: the
lamb runneth now, the lion pursueth, they are ever at
enmity, the lion devoureth the lamb, there are none to restrain
him.
7. Is it not meet that such things should be if behold the
children of tomorrow have a memory in their hearts of that
which was unrighteous, of that which defiled them, of that which
did them errors, of that which caused confusions?
8. The world now pursueth the weak and forsaken, it
devoureth their substance, it beholdeth its triumph, it saith to
itself, It is good and profitable unto men that they should know
their scourgings.
9. I say it is beastly, I say it is defilement.
10. I say it is more. . . I say that the beast in man shall be
stilled, his ungodliness shall perish, it shall have its grave in a
watery place, the earth shall know purgings, the floors of the
world shall behold a clean sweeping.
11. And yet I would not tell you of calamities, beloved: behold
they reckon well who do say, Such to their portion as do merit
the sweeping, such to the destruction as give it unto others.
12. I sing you a song redundant with splendors:
13. I say ye shall prophesy, ye shall give alms to the needy, ye
shall do goodly works, men shall engrave you on the tablets of
those works, they shall make you an offering, they shall fetch
you a garland.
14. This shall be your portioning, that ye shall go out and come
in fearing no man, that ye shall make your bed in victories, that
the wise man shall know you, that his daughters shall comfort
you, that a fair trade shall profit you, that ye shall have a
winning not marked by tumults.
15. Behold I have preserved you, I have caught you in a
silence, I have sojourned amongst you, I have sent unto you
mine increase;
16. I am he whom ye serve, none stand beside me in your
hearts, I am mine own preceptor, I cast mine own auguries.
17. Think well on these things.
18. The Goodly Company is a still small band, it giveth not a
bickering unto the Host, it maketh no eschewments in quantities
of laborings, it giveth a fair pulse-beat, it raiseth up the fallen, it
riseth up and liveth beauteously, its heritage is increase always
unto surfeit.
19. Ye are my band, I have raised you for a purpose;
20. But that purpose showeth not till the Word hath fulfillment.
21. I have sojourned amongst you many days, I tell you, when
ye knew not my presence; ye have said, Behold a beggar
passeth; ye have said, There is one who knocketh, let us have
none of him and he presently departeth.
22. And yet I have come in to you, I have walked in your
presence; I have not asked mine alms of you, I have not forced
your doorstones.
23. Behold I walk amongst you many times again, verily times
and again, and ye do say, Whereof cometh the loveliness to
surfeit? whereof is this fragrance? are we not visited by those
who speak logic? do we not manifest with grace on our
ensigns?
24. Beloved, beloved, have a care to your manners.
25. Raise up the righteous arm, give the stalwart soul
reckonings, debase not yourselves before the conqueror and
his judgments, be sweet, be purposeful, let not your luxuries be
of spirit.
26. When the judgments are rendered for and against you, say
not, It is pleasure or tumult that openeth her mantle: say, It is
victory calling up her cohorts.
27. Times and seasons, and seasons again, thus have
I come and dwelt among you.
28. I tell you that I come as a fair wind upon a pleasant
afternoon, I come as the bramble that holdeth the thrush,
I come as the sweet spice that scenteth the small place,
I come as the true lodestone that draweth the nations, that
rendereth them a bivouac.
29. And yet I come as more.
30. I come as the scribe who hath upon his tablets the names
of the forsaken, the judgments for those who embraced a small
error and took it to be great, those who were famished and
knew not their eatings: my tablets have the password that these
shall be embraced in the clasp of old fellowship.
31. For lo, we are known to one another, the forsaken and I.
32. I do make my eternal bed in a lowly place that the
sobbings of the men of little errors should meet their just
assuagements.
33. I do sup with the lowly that their bannock should nourish
me.
34. I give a large quart and drink a small pint, that they who do
quaff the rich juice of Knowledge should know a true sacrament,
that the Lord of Glory rideth in an exceeding small chariot, that
He giveth not a belching of that which is His humor.
35. Nay, nay, my beloved, He giveth the fond jostling,
He layeth His hand on the arm of His opponent and saith,
Let peace be between us, behold there is no quarrel that
was not of thine ignorance; see, we adjust it, we sit down in a
fellowship.
36. These things do, beloved. The hour draweth late, there are
ridings unto equities that give the night enrichments.
37. Tarry ye in the place of the world until I do greet you with
the mantle of my ministerings.
38. Speech hath divided us, behold speech hath welded us:
make a fair porridge of all your discernments, eat of them to
banquetings; I say it shall be well with you.
39. Presently I join you, that the feasting be complete.
