at her Houfe, and fhe brought me from Darby Goa!, to her own House again on Horfe back, which is fixteen long Miles.

15. I had the Love of all the Prifoners, on that fide I was put, and they faid, They thought themfelves bleffed for my Sake.

16. For they were every one of them, that were with me, free'd without any Punishment, only the Fees of the Prifon : I was in Prifon in Darby Goal but nine Days, but this falling out fo quickly after I was Married to my Wife Mary, it was fome grief to her, but being delivered fo quickly, the was pacified the better.

17. This was a Year of great Trouble to me, both upon a fpiritual Account, as afore written, and upon a temporal, which I fhall not mention.

18. This was in the 13th Year of my Commiffion, and in the 54th Year of my Life, and in the Year of the Lord 1664.

19. After this I wrote a Book, containing 32 fheets of Paper, called, The Interpretation of the whole Book of the Revelations of Saint John, the biggest Volume of all the Books that were written by us.

20. Alfo I wrote a Letter after that to Thomas Taylor, a Quaker, containing two fheets of Paper: And in the Year 1665, I got them both Printed; they are yet to be seen by many.

CHAP. I.

The Prophet's Travels into Kent. Of Fudge Twifden; and of the Prophet's Letter to him. Of the increase of Believers.

A

1. FFTER this I travelled into Kent, to fee my Wife's Friends, and there I had like to have been apprehended by the Judge of the Town, his Name was Twifden; but I having intelligence of his wicked Intent, I efcaped away out of his Coafts.

2. And I wrote a Letter to him, forbidding him for persecuting any Man for his Confcience: For tho' he was made a Judge of the Law in temporal Matters, yet he was not the Judge of Confcience, nor of fpiritual Matters.

3. Therefore I advifed him to meddle with thofe Things he knows, as the Laws of the Land, and not with thofe Things that belongs to God, as the Confcience doth.

4. For God only is the Judge of fpiritual Things, and them whom he doth chufe, leaft you bring yourself under the fentance of eternal Damnation. This Letter is large, but not in Print, but is yet to be seen in Writing.

B. He was nettled in his Mind at it, but knew not how to help himself; fo he brought the Letter in his Hand to my Wife's Mother's Houfe, and asked her, if the thought he should be ever the worse, if he did Perfecute me, on purpose to enfnare her, because fhe did not go to Church, and was under his Power, for he was the crueleft Devil to all profeffors of Religion, that did not conform to Worship as he did, that was in all that Country: Alfo he would have had a Book of her, that he might have done me the more Mischief; but I charged her before to let him have none, nor none in that Town fhould let him have one.

6. Alfo I told him in the Letter, that if he would fend to me at London, and fend Money, I would let him have half a Dozen of Books, feveral, but without Money he fhould have none, for they coft a great deal of Monies Printing; but he never fent for any, but threat'ned my Mother, that if ever I came there any more to deceive People, as he called it, that he would do great Matters to me, fo he went his way, and never came there more, as I heard of.

7. Now by this time there was many Men and Women that did believe in this Commiffion of the Spirit, and the Doctrine of the true perfonal God was received by feveral Perfons of Quality, fo that many were added to the Faith; fome I fhall name.

8. First, One Mrs. Feild, who lived in Wales, the was counted a Lady in that Country; and one Mrs. Sharte, a Draper's Wife, in Cannon-street. This Sarab Sbarte, the fent for me feveral times, to fpeak with her, but the Meffenger miffed of me so oft, that the thought herself forfaken of God, that she could not speak with me.

9. For fhe had kept her House feveral Years, of a Weaknefs fhe had in her Body, fo that fhe could not go forth, nor come to me herself; fo the feeing none of them the fent could meet with me, fhe grew out of Patience, and could not Sleep 'till fhe had feen me.

10. So fhe defired her Hufband to go himself in the Morning betimes, before I was gone out; fo he did, and he engaged me to come to his Wife about Two of the Clock in the Afternoon, the fame Day, for fhe had a great defire to fpeak with me.

II. So at the time appointed I went, and fhe was glad to fee me, who had defired it a long time; and when she had feen me, and had difcourfed with me about spiritual and heavenly Things, concerning God, his Form, and Nature; the right Devil, his Form and Nature; the Perfon and Nature of Angels; the Place and Nature of Hell; the Place and Nature of Heaven; the Rife of the two Seeds, and of the Fall of Adam.

12. And how every Man came to have two Voices, or Motions, fpeaking in Man: These were all heavenly Secrets, and hidden from the World, which I declared unto her, fo that she was very well fatisfied in her Mind, and the defired that I would come often to her, which I did always when she fent for me, not elfe; and fhe was a true Believer afterwards, and lived in the full affurance of her eternal Happiness after Death, all the Days of her Life.

13. And he had a Kinfwoman, a Virgin, that waited upon her, by reading of the Books her Aunt had of mine by ftealth, fhe became a true Believer, her Name was Ann Loe; and in procefs of time this Ann Loe Married one William Hall, a true Believer of this Commiffion of the Spirit.

14. And he did grow in Wifdom and Knowledge, in fpiritual and heavenly Knowledge and Experience, and strong in Faith, more than her Aunt before her; and fhe was a great preferver of me, from the hands of my Enemies, when the King's Meffengers fought after me, as will more appear hereafter.

Of one Captain Wildye, an honourable Man. And of cne Mrs. Cowlye, of her Faith and Obedience of her Husband, and of her Son a University Scholar; and of his Convincment by the Prophet, both as to the Ministry, Law and Phyfick.

I.

A

LSO there was one Captain Wildye, he was one of the Mafters of Trinity-Houfe, an honourable Place: For that Trinity-Houfe is a Court for the ordering of Shiping, and Seamen This Captain Wildye became a very true Believer of this Commiffion of the Spirit, and he fhewed a great deal of Charity to several poor Believers of this Faith, more than any particular Perfon in his Time.

2. Alfo he was the occafion of bringing to this Faith, one Ann Cowlye, a Gentlewoman at Mile-End-Green. She was carried through feveral Principles of Religion, as Independant, Quaker, and Virgin-Life-People. She was zealous in all things. the clave unto, being very defirous to be Saved, and afraid to be Damn'd.

3. She was in the Principle of a Virgin-Life, and would not let her Hufband know her in twelve Years, before fhe faw me, notwithstanding the had borne feveral Children by this Man, and had one Son and one Daughter living by him."

4. But after the came to be acquainted with me, I convinced her both by Scripture, and Reafon, of the unlawfulness of a Married Wife, to live a Virgin-Life, and that she could not poffibly have Peace, as to another Life, in that Practice; and I advifed her to give herself up to her Husband, elfe I could not give Judgment of Bleffedness upon her to Eternity.

5. She being troubled at this faying of mine, was forced to yield to her Hufband, which thing the thought an Angel from Heaven could not have perfwaded her to do.

6. But
