Launse I should have told you how I said to him If he would know what the ordinary impulse of Spirit was that I had to bring me into that country I would tell him so I related the Scriptures as that in the Psalmes and in the Prophet Isaiah how the presence and Spirit of the Lord should be with me and he would uphold me and strengthen me with the right hand of his righteousness he answered Such impulse was common they hoped they had that they were not ignorant of such impulse of Spirit much to this effect was spoken I seeing they were very willing to be gone I said Have you done with me answer was I might now go away but I said Pray what is it to break the good behaviour you have bound me over to I know not what you may make a breaking of it is it a breaking the good behaviour to pray and sing Justice travel said No so I did it at the habitation where I abode It 's well said I you will give leave it shall be anywhere I said I will leave one word with you and that is this A time will come when you and I shall appear before the great Judge of the tribunal seat of the most High and then I think you will hardly be able to give an account for this days work before the Lord at that day of true judgement said Tregegle Take you no care for us So they were willing to have no more discourse with me And as I went in the croud many strangers were very loving and careful to help me out of the croud and the rude multitude said Sure this woman is no witch for she speaks many good word which the witches could not And thus the Lord made the rude rabble to justifie his appearance for in all that was said by me I was nothing the Lord put all in my mouth and told me what I should say and that from the written word he put it in my memory and mouth so that I will have nothing ascribed to me but all honor and praise given to him whose right it is even to Jehovah who is the King that lives for ever I have left our some things that I thought were not so material to be written and what I have written of this it 's to declare as much as is convenient to take off those falsities and contrary reports that are abroad concerning my sufferings some making it worse then it was and some saying It was little or nothing Now to inform all peoples judgements I have thought it meet to offer this relation to the worlds view and with as much covering as I can of Saints weaknesses herein praying the Lord to forgive them and as for the Lords enemies that he would confound them but as for my enemies I still pray I now shall declare how God shewed me kindnesse further I rode home with my friends to Tregasow that day rejoycing that I was counted worthy to be so reproachfully dealt by for speaking in the Lord Christs behalf in prayer and praises and I remained very chearfull continuing in prayer and Thanksgiving and many spirituall songs unto the Lord but about ten dayes after the Souldiers of the Fox came to take me and the day before they come it being the first day of the the week I went to hear Mr. Frances who preached hard by where I abode one whom the Clergy would fain have had to have spoke against me but he said he would not they then called him my disciple and laughed and jeered at him when he came among them on their Lecture dayes They used to meet at an Ordinary where many of the Clergy and others dined together while I was in these parts the Clergy and others made me their Table and Pulpit talk and would have had Mr. Frances to have done as they did but he refused and hath since I hear left the place where he preached when I was in those parts But I return where I left in telling you how I was the day before that the Souldiers came for me I was very heavy in my spirit as I sat at dinner with my friends and I was very ready to shed tears and being loath my friends should see me I held from weeping as much as I could for I thought they would think that I took something unkindly but truly I could not for I had as much love from every one in the Family as could be desired but I was very sad and I rose from the Table where I dined and went and took my Bible wherein the Lord refreshed me and in the afternoon I went to hear and came home and went into the garden to walk alone and Captain Langdon coming into the Garden I discoursed a while with him and I said sure my London friends pray me up to London and when I come there I will write of Cornwell Cornhell in the West He said you might have suffered at London but not as here said I for here they deal very uncivilly and unchristian like by me well said I the Lord send me to London for I shall count it a great mercy to see their faces again I had said a Bridewell among them shall be sweet to me and so the Lord made it I that night was perswaded my work was done in Cornwall and that I should erelong see London yet being I was bound over to the Sessions which was not to be till August so that I was to have carried many weeks by the Justices order but they could not bear so much praving so long a time to be in their parts therefore they hasted their Letters to the Councell at White Hall to send their order down for me having a Governours Troop so near to agitate their businesse And the Governours was afraid of his Souldiers he commands them to their Colours and Ensign Raundle he must be cast out of his place for inviting his old friend Captain Longdon and his wife and his mother and me to come with them to his house And the Souldiers were charged to keep me out of Tregny that is three miles from Tregasow where a poore tempted soul was that would fain have entertained me at her House and this work the Fox made in his fortified places but the poore who are rich in faith prayed for me in those parts and some I never saw about ten miles from the place where I was who hearing of my trouble improved their interest with the Lord for me their faith and prayer did me more good than all the gold or filver or favours of great men could have done me I shall relate now further concerning that night before the Souldiers took me I saw in my sleep Souldiers come to take me and I rode towards London with them very joyfully and in the morning I made me ready and went down stairs and there was a friend came to see Captain Langdon so I went up into my Chamber to write to London and

head between two friends where I lay and prayed till the morning and coming into my ordinary capacity I rose and had strength of body though I could not eat the day before nor after this night thus speaking so much yet I was not dry neither could I take any creature-refreshing though I had much offered me This I mention to advance Christ and not for any by-end Then my friends sent me in their Coach to London where I prepared for my Cornwal-journey all that week Coming to my habitation the second day of the week that week I had much of the Lord's presence in marvelous joy and yet many temptations between whiles the tempter tempted me against my journey and when I went up a pair of stairs I was tempted that I should fall from the top to the bottom of the stairs and break my limbes so that I should in such a way be hindered my journey and I was often tempted that week before I went that some evil should befal me to hinder me from going to Cornwal or some would hear of my going that would stop it And then Satan said What will become of all thy faith and the singing report concerning it And sometimes I was thus hurried yet I staggered not in my faith concerning the truth of what I had mentioned about my journey that it should surely be as I had believed and I waited for the accomplishment of it And the sixth day of that week I took my leave of my Tower-friends sitting up till the morning with them all the night praying and praising with them with joy more then an ordinary capacity could hold And in the morning I went to bed and lay some hours and then rose and abode there that day and night and the next day being the first day of this following week I bid my Tower-friends farewel and so departed from them taking my leave also of other friends by the way as I went to Alhallows where I met with the Congregation that I am in fellowship with which use to break bread there And I that day saw great shinings and tasted much of my Saviour that day who presenting his love liness in the ministery and his sweetness in the supper of breaking bread which filled my heart with joy unspeakable and glorious in believing And then after the Ordinances were ended I took my leave of many friends there who gave me their exhortations with counsel and prayer for my well-doing and I departed from them begging their prayers for me when absent in the body and half a score of my sisters kept that night in prayer with me at my friends house from whence I was to take my journey the next day And having thus spent the night in sweet communion with God I was prepared for my journey I wanted not sleep nor food-preparation having had the cordial revivement liquors from my Lord Jesus which strengthened me for my travelling to Cornwal And I said to my friends I pray be much in spiritual communion together and don 't forget to mention before the Lord your unworthy sister at a distance Thus desiring their remembrance of me they departed from me and I and my friends for the journey went by water from Southwark to White-Hall-stairs where we landed and went to the Inne where we took Coach and many friends came to bid us farewel among them came one who said to some after I was gone That if he had known me and had known I was going into his country he would have procured the Councels Order to have stopt my journey for the love he bore to his country which sure he thought I would corrupt and make like my self which he thought to have hindered but the Lord prevented his desire for my Father would have me go there and Satan nor men could not hinder me So we rode on our journey toward the West and in the first dayes journey my thoughts were taken up with the work of the praying Saints which met that day at Alhallows it being the second day which they use to keep for the Restoration of the Kingdom of Israel praying and speaking for that concernment which is so glorious and my thoughts were very seriously intent upon generation-work praying with them at Alhallows in the Spirit though I was absent from them in body and meeting with a dear friend by the way who told me he intended to go to Alhallow meeting that day I said I pray remember what was earnestly desired of you that you would assist the Church in the wilderness and be helpful in the second dayes meeting keeping close to the work of the present day and I desired his prayer for me in my absence more words passed between us as he rode by the Coach-side a little way then he bid farewel and departed and my joy was encreased at the sight of that precious servant of Christ whose words left a fragransie upon my Spirits some part of the day and the enjoyment of prayer in the Spirit with them at Alhallows took up the other part of the day onely speaking a little sometimes to my friends with whom I went At night we came to our Inne where I had much refreshings in a little meditation of Gods goodness to me that day and after prayer I went to my bed and was refreshed with sights of the Lord in my sleep and rose in the morning taking another dayes journey and in much discourse we spent that second dayes journey And I rode the next day with the same persons as I did the day before and my Spirit then was all that day in a praying and singing frame and so it remained till night and then we came to Salisbury where we parted with the Judge that rode in the Coach with us for there the Judges met in their Circuit and there I was mightily fill'd with apprehensions of Christ's Circuit he was taking in the earth and of that blessed time that the Saints should judge the earth when in that time the earth should not pass their false judgements on the Saints and most part of that night I was thus and they that were with me saw and felt on my outward man which was like a dead clod I was so cold a great while And the fourth daies journey I sang prayed almost the whole day and so I did the fifth daies journey singing much of the creation-excellencies as trees grass and several plants and corn that grew as I went by And though I rode through townes I minded not any speakings of creatures for indeed I was not capable of outward sayings or doings nor of the ratling of the Coach those two dayes And the last day of that week we came to Exceter which day I was very cheerful in the Lord though not so very much as the dayes before there we inned at an old disciples house a widow one Mrs. Winter's a house that many yeers had entertained and lodged Saints which in their travelling still

dry land who hath indeed all Dominions belonging unto him And as for him you call your Protector you do not give him that tithe in love to him more than to another nor so much as to old King Charles and to his Son who is in your hearts you love a King dearly Oh that you did love King Jesus he would never fail you he would teach you to make your indictments truer and not upon persons undeserving he would teach you not to use his children as witches and vagabonds when they come into your parts I pity you oh you envious Jurors you have not injured me nor indicted me but your selves and though I could say when before you examined Not guilty I could say so with a clear conscience yet I am sure you can not say so at the Lords judgement seat when he shall read the Bill of Indictment against you can you say to him you are not of a divillish minde nor of a wicked imagination nor seditious nor maliciously bent against the great Lord Protector and his subjects against whom you imagine devise stir up and raise discord rebellion and insurrection against the great Lord Protector and his good People aforesaid endeavouring to bring his righteous and just Actions into contempt disgrace and hatred amongst all sorts of People good and bad And be it known 〈…〉 that the Jehovah Protector is my King Priest and 〈…〉 Kingly power I obey and all government consonant to it and whose Priesthood and also deny that which shall offend it and make it of no effect and I love to listen to that great Prophet who teaches like him and though I say thus yet I love the Gospel found in through the Lords Trumpetors I do not despise true Prophesie from any I love to read what the Lord spake through a Balaam who was a sorcerer yet spoke excellently of Christ that blessed starre of Jacob and Redeemer of Israel This I speak to give you to understand my delight and love to all the Lords Ordinances and speakings so that I must take leave to mention another defiance to your Letter you sent against me to London wherein you reported that I denied Ordinances which hundereds of people can and will witnesse to the contrary Thus you may see your folly Oh you Cornwell Clergie and Justices and indeed I should be glad if you saw your evill and repented and humbled your souls before the Lord against whom you have sinned what you have done to me is small when compared with your trespasse against the living God whose appearing is as devouring fire and everlasting burnings who can dwell with God and stand before him when he thus appeares The Prophet Isaiah tels you 33.15 He that walketh righteously and speaketh uprightly he that despiseth the gain of oppressions that shaketh his hands from holding of bribes that stoppeth his ears from hearing of bloud and shutteth his eyes from seeing evill they shall dwell on high their place of defence shall be not onely a Rock but munitions of rocks like the strength of many Rocks that are many times doubled and treehed one within another and one a top of another which maketh it an high and a strong place that none can enter or reach the upright the upright shall see him in his glory which is a sight worth the making after and preparing for Who will withhold no good thing from those that love his appearing he will give them salvation for walls and bulwarks as it is written and he taketh them as he did Moses when he shewed him Canaan afar off so the Lord will take all his faithfull ones and shew them the lovely Land wherein no Dragon can cast his floods nor wolf can catch the sheep into their prison-paws nor Lyon can cast into their Bridewell-den there shall be no Fox to Inform and lay hold with their Souldiours the Children and Saints of the most high God this Land is a safe place where no ravenous beast shall molest the Saints and the Beauty of King Jesus shall take so with them that they shall forget all their hard measure that they have had from the sons and daughters of men And then who shall be so so deep speecht as Saints now who are counted Novices and shallow fellowes and frantique handmaids not fit to stand to speak to the Learned wise Rabbies of these times which call such that speak plainly phantick and under the administration of evill Angels and seditious whimsicall headed ones but the time is coming which will discover the King in his Beauty to his that are so slighted and then they shall be the onely Scribes who are the Lords chosen Baruchs he will imploy them to write his Roules and truly he now makes use of them to meditate terrour and to count the Towers they are not deceived in their accounts concerning the beast and the false Prophets and those that adhere to them which shall feel the terrour of the Lord and they their Scribes Receivers and Towers shall fall before him whose Name is a strong Tower into whom the righteous run and are safe and therefore let not any wondes at those that pleadeth praise for the Name of King Jesus which is so blasphemed and set at naught by self seekers the Name of the Lord is worth suffering for and they that have sufffered for it Lam. 3.24 25 26. and do still suffer for it may joy in the Lord as their Portion which the Church rejoyced in though in great afflictions that God was her Portion and she would hope in him and saith The Lord is good to those that wait for him and to the soul that seeketh him its good saith she to hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the Lord they that hope aright to see the King in his beauty they quietly wait they wait without murmuring But not without Prayer and earnestly contending for the Faith of Christ touching any of his concernments not a passionate contending is approved but a zealous contending is allowed by the Lord recorded by the Apostle therefore hold fast your zeal for God little Remnant who have given up your hearts and hands and fore-heads to his Mark and Stamp abhorring that of the beast the Lord would have you let go passion but love zeal and hold it fast what ever men say of it or do against you for it yet let the zeal of the Lord eat you up David saith The zeal of thy house hath eaten me up Where are such now There are many that their pride and lustfulnesse and vain-glory hath eaten them up and swallowed what they seemed to hold forth for others benefit even for those that are the Lords houshold but now self hath devoured all and the Lords heritage must wait for their Right till their King Jesus comes whose right all power and Dominion is and will take his great power and reign who then shall gain-say him Then there shall be no mockers nor deriders to scoffe
