Chapter 20: Promise of Another Letter.
IF JESUS CHRIST GRACIOUSLY PERMITS ME THROUGH YOUR PRAYERS: and if it is His will, I will, in a second little work which I will write to you, further reveal to you the nature of the dispensation I have begun to address, with respect to the new man, Jesus Christ, in His faith and love, in His suffering and resurrection. I will especially do this if the Lord makes known to me that you come together, individually, in common through grace, in one faith, and in Jesus Christ, who was of the seed of David according to the flesh, being both the Son of man and the Son of God, so that you obey the bishop and the presbytery with an undivided mind, breaking one and the same bread, which is the medicine of immortality, and the antidote to prevent us from dying, but causes us to live forever in Jesus Christ.
