FRIENDS, Live in the unchangable Power of God, which will keep you in Righteousness and Truth, and Love and Unity, and Dominion over all the . . . rough Ways and Mountains within and without; that the Power of the Lord God may be Supreme amongst you, and that ye may in the Wisdom of the Lord be preserved. And none abuse it, but all patiently in the Power of the Lord wait, that in it ye may all be kept Low, in Love and Unity with God, and one with another. . . .
And all be diligent in your Places ...

I am not Amish or Mennonite, but some people who come to my website are interested in knowing more about these groups. I can recommend these books as authoritative and relatively inexpensive sources of further information.
