82: O THOU WHO ART FIRM IN THE COVENANT, THY LETTER ...

O thou who art firm in the Covenant, thy letter was received. Thou hast

exerted a great effort for that prisoner, perchance it may prove to be

fruitful. Tell him, however: 'The denizens of the world are confined in

the prison of nature--a prison that is continuous and eternal. If thou art

at present restrained within the limits of a temporary prison, be not

grieved at this; my hope is that thou mayest be emancipated from the

prison of nature and may attain unto the court of everlasting life. Pray

to God day and night and beg forgiveness and pardon. The omnipotence of

God shall solve every difficulty.'
