Excerpt from Advice of William Penn to His Children: Relating to Their Civil and Religious Conduct Children, fear God; that is to say, have an holy awe upon your minds to avoid that which is evil, and a strict care to embrace and do that which is good. The measure and standard of which knowledge and duty is the light of Christ in your consciences, by which, as in John iii., 20, 21, you may clearly see if.your deeds - ay, and your words and thoughts, too, are wrought in God or not' for they are the deeds of the mind, and for which you must be judged; I say, with this divine light of Christ in your conscience, you may bring your thoughts, words and works to judgment in yourselves, and have a right, true, sound and unerring sense of your duty towards God and man. And as you come to obey this blessed light in its holy convictions, it will lead you out of the world's dark and degenerate ways and works.
