A58143	Light sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart This is to go abroad among all people who are honest-hearted, especially amongst the inhabitants in Fourns Fells, in Lancashire, and among all who have known me after the flesh, that all honest people may see what I was in profession, and also what I now am by the grace of God. From him which hath come through great tribulations, who hath even left all for Christ, and hath not whereon to lay his head, but is forsaken of father and of mother, and of kinred also, even for the testimony of Jesus, and for the Word of God, whom the world calls, Thomas Rawlinson.

i_o and_o then_o i_o call_v unto_o my_o brother_n william_n and_o bid_v he_o let_v i_o into_o the_o house_n and_o he_o tell_v i_o that_o he_o dare_v not_o let_v i_o into_o the_o house_n i_o ask_v he_o why_o he_o say_v that_o his_o father_n have_v send_v all_o his_o child_n and_o servant_n to_o bed_n &_o that_o he_o go_v throughout_o all_o the_o house_n himself_o to_o see_v that_o all_o the_o door_n be_v lock_v and_o bolt_v against_o i_o and_o do_v charge_v they_o all_o that_o if_o i_o do_v come_v not_o any_o of_o they_o to_o let_v i_o into_o the_o house_n if_o they_o do_v any_o of_o they_o he_o say_v that_o he_o will_v turn_v they_o also_o out_o of_o the_o door_n with_o i_o so_o william_n tell_v i_o these_o thing_n and_o that_o he_o dare_v not_o let_v i_o into_o the_o house_n so_o unto_o this_o day_n i_o remain_v a_o sufferer_n for_o righteousness_n sake_n and_o true_o i_o believe_v that_o i_o shall_v not_o have_v put_v pen_n to_o paper_n in_o reference_n as_o to_o all_o my_o suffering_n from_o my_o natural_a father_n have_v i_o not_o hear_v how_o he_o have_v report_v it_o that_o i_o run_v from_o he_o and_o the_o like_a so_o for_o the_o right_n inform_v all_o people_n understanding_n as_o to_o the_o truth_n of_o this_o matter_n i_o have_v brief_o in_o few_o word_n declare_v something_o of_o what_o have_v be_v do_v by_o he_o towards_o i_o and_o of_o what_o word_n pass_v between_o we_o but_o i_o may_v have_v intimate_v much_o more_o of_o his_o rage_n and_o cruelty_n &_o sore_o usuage_v of_o i_o but_o that_o i_o be_o against_o lay_v open_a nakedness_n and_o have_v only_o clear_v my_o own_o innocency_n as_o touch_v false_a report_n of_o run_v from_o my_o father_n house_n and_o the_o like_a as_o also_o his_o own_o family_n and_o other_o can_v witness_v against_o he_o to_o the_o contrary_a for_o i_o if_o they_o will_v but_o testify_v so_o let_v he_o consider_v and_o look_v back_o and_o see_v what_o he_o have_v do_v against_o the_o innocent_a that_o seek_v not_o his_o own_o who_o seek_v no_o revenge_n but_o suffer_v all_o thing_n endure_v all_o thing_n and_o envy_v not_o but_o in_o the_o peace_n which_o the_o world_n can_v give_v nor_o take_v away_o rest_v satisfy_v in_o his_o father_n love_n from_o above_o and_o so_o refer_v his_o cause_n unto_o he_o that_o see_v in_o secret_a who_o reward_v open_o and_o take_v vengeance_n for_o vengeance_n be_v i_o say_v the_o lord_n so_o i_o have_v boldness_n towards_o god_n in_o all_o my_o suffering_n and_o tribulation_n yea_o very_o i_o have_v the_o answer_n of_o a_o good_a conscience_n towards_o god_n and_o man_n herein_o god_n witness_v in_o i_o even_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n which_o bear_v witness_n to_o my_o spirit_n that_o i_o suffer_v for_o well_o do_v and_o who_o shall_v then_o condemn_v i_o and_o because_o i_o can_v for_o conscience-sake_n worship_v the_o beast_n nor_o follow_v the_o blind_a guide_v any_o long_o i_o be_o persecute_v and_o forsake_v of_o father_n and_o mother_n and_o of_o brethren_n and_o sister_n and_o of_o kindred_n too_o and_o these_o thing_n have_v they_o do_v unto_o i_o that_o the_o scripture_n may_v be_v fulfil_v according_a to_o christ_n word_n who_o say_v you_o shall_v be_v hate_v of_o all_o man_n for_o my_o sake_n and_o marvel_v not_o if_o the_o world_n hate_v you_o for_o it_o hate_v i_o before_o it_o hate_v you_o if_o you_o be_v of_o the_o world_n the_o world_n will_v love_v you_o for_o the_o world_n love_v its_o own_o but_o because_o i_o have_v choose_v you_o out_o of_o the_o world_n therefore_o the_o world_n hate_v you_o because_o you_o be_v not_o of_o the_o world_n even_o as_o i_o be_o not_o of_o the_o world_n say_v christ_n to_o they_o that_o follow_v he_o in_o the_o regeneration_n who_o turn_v people_n from_o the_o darkness_n to_o the_o light_n christ_n and_o he_o that_o forsake_v not_o father_n and_o mother_n brethren_n and_o sister_n husband_n wife_n or_o child_n and_o his_o own_o life_n too_o for_o my_o sake_n and_o the_o gospel_n say_v christ_n he_o can_v be_v my_o disciple_n and_o he_o that_o take_v not_o up_o his_o cross_n and_o follow_v not_o after_o i_o he_o be_v not_o worthy_a of_o i_o but_o every_o one_o that_o have_v leave_v father_n or_o mother_n brethren_n or_o sister_n husband_n wife_n or_o child_n or_o house_n or_o land_n for_o my_o name_n sake_n and_o the_o gospel_n let_v he_o rejoice_v that_o he_o be_v count_v worthy_a to_o suffer_v it_o say_v the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n for_o he_o shall_v not_o lose_v his_o reward_n but_o shall_v receive_v a_o hundred-fold_n in_o this_o life_n and_o in_o the_o world_n to_o come_v everlasting_a life_n so_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o whosoever_o will_v ●ive_a godly_a in_o christ_n jesus_n must_v suffer_v for_o he_o that_o depart_v from_o iniquity_n make_v himself_o a_o prey_n to_o the_o wicked_a and_o to_o the_o unrighteous_a and_o sinner_n so_o friend_n think_v it_o not_o strange_a i_o run_v not_o with_o you_o to_o the_o same_o excess_n of_o riot_n into_o all_o uncleanness_n and_o filthiness_n and_o sorrow_n not_o for_o i_o for_o the_o sorrow_n of_o the_o world_n work_v death_n so_o speak_v not_o evil_a of_o the_o thing_n you_o know_v not_o lest_o you_o speak_v evil_a against_o god_n and_o though_o i_o be_o count_v as_o the_o offscouring_a of_o all_o thing_n unto_o this_o day_n and_o have_v not_o whereon_o to_o lay_v my_o head_n be_v forsake_v of_o father_n and_o of_o mother_n and_o count_v as_o one_o not_o worthy_a to_o live_v nor_o to_o inhabit_v under_o they_o who_o can_v not_o have_v so_o much_o as_o a_o servant_n place_n under_o they_o for_o i_o tell_v my_o father_n before_o he_o put_v i_o from_o he_o that_o i_o be_v willing_a to_o abide_v with_o he_o and_o to_o serve_v he_o faithful_o and_o to_o labour_v with_o my_o hand_n in_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v good_a yet_o will_v he_o not_o suffer_v i_o to_o inhabit_v under_o he_o but_o in_o all_o this_o what_o evil_n have_v i_o do_v so_o i_o have_v comfort_n towards_o god_n notwithstanding_o all_o his_o cruel_a usuage_n of_o i_o and_o though_o father_n and_o mother_n have_v forsake_v i_o yet_o the_o lord_n have_v not_o

have_v have_v no_o pity_n on_o i_o but_o i_o be_v even_o cast_v out_o for_o righteousness_n sake_n as_o though_o i_o have_v be_v some_o great_a transgressor_n where_o be_v my_o accuser_n if_o i_o have_v do_v evil_a let_v they_o bear_v witness_n of_o the_o evil_a but_o if_o well_o for_o cleave_v unto_o the_o lord_n why_o be_v they_o so_o offend_v in_o i_o i_o can_v even_o desire_v that_o the_o lord_n will_v not_o reward_v they_o as_o they_o have_v reward_v i_o who_o be_v even_o without_o natural_a affection_n and_o without_o any_o pity_n towards_o i_o yet_o the_o lord_n have_v have_v pity_n because_o his_o mercy_n fail_v not_o who_o in_o his_o favour_n have_v redeem_v i_o and_o have_v have_v compassion_n when_o no_o eye_n pity_v for_o he_o have_v say_v it_o thou_o have_v a_o little_a strength_n and_o have_v trust_v in_o i_o therefore_o i_o will_v never_o leave_v thou_o nor_o forsake_v thou_o thou_o have_v hate_v iniquity_n and_o love_a righteousness_n therefore_o walk_v before_o

everlasting_a love_n do_v the_o lord_n carry_v i_o and_o in_o his_o hand_n do_v he_o hide_v i_o that_o so_o in_o the_o pure_a love_n of_o god_n i_o may_v remain_v under_o the_o shadow_n of_o his_o wing_n for_o evermore_o and_o in_o his_o name_n to_o trust_v which_o be_v a_o strong_a tower_n for_o the_o righteous_a to_o fly_v unto_o for_o god_n have_v give_v i_o a_o entrance_n into_o the_o eternal_a inheritance_n with_o the_o saint_n in_o light_n sure_o i_o have_v make_v a_o good_a choice_n bless_a be_v the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n for_o evermore_o who_o have_v put_v it_o into_o my_o heart_n as_o to_o choose_v the_o good_a way_n and_o the_o fear_n of_o the_o lord_n wherein_o dwell_v righteousness_n so_o i_o be_o persuade_v in_o my_o heart_n to_o cleave_v unto_o the_o lord_n my_o god_n with_o my_o whole_a heart_n that_o the_o lamb_n of_o god_n i_o may_v follow_v wheresoever_o he_o go_v though_o i_o die_v with_o he_o bear_v his_o reproach_n for_o through_o christ_n that_o

so_o god_n which_o be_v the_o way_n where_o christ_n may_v be_v find_v that_o i_o may_v come_v to_o know_v he_o even_o as_o i_o be_o know_v of_o he_o and_o find_v he_o the_o priest_n say_v that_o read_v the_o scripture_n and_o godly_a book_n as_o they_o call_v they_o and_o pray_v and_o follow_v they_o and_o hear_v they_o preach_v that_o this_o be_v the_o way_n where_o christ_n be_v to_o be_v find_v so_o i_o do_v run_v from_o one_o priest_n unto_o another_o to_o see_v if_o haply_o i_o can_v find_v christ_n among_o any_o of_o they_o for_o several_a year_n together_o but_o do_v not_o while_o i_o follow_v the_o priest_n so_o all_o my_o labour_n be_v in_o vain_a i_o spend_v my_o labour_n for_o that_o which_o be_v not_o bread_n and_o my_o strength_n for_o that_o which_o can_v not_o satisfy_v yea_o i_o do_v read_v the_o scripture_n often_o &_o buy_v the_o best_a book_n i_o can_v hear_v of_o and_o read_v they_o and_o pray_v earnest_o always_o but_o do_v not_o obtain_v nor_o prevail_v though_o i_o cry_v and_o weep_v much_o and_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o i_o seek_v unto_o a_o people_n that_o can_v profit_v for_o the_o lord_n in_o a_o way_n where_o he_o be_v not_o to_o be_v find_v in_o the_o way_n of_o the_o ungodly_a for_o god_n hear_v not_o sinner_n and_o the_o prayer_n of_o the_o wicked_a be_v sin_n but_o the_o prayer_n of_o the_o righteoas_n be_v his_o delight_n and_o while_o i_o remain_v servant_n to_o sin_n the_o lord_n do_v not_o regard_v my_o prayer_n for_o it_o be_v his_o own_o that_o praise_v he_o unto_o who_o his_o ear_n be_v open_v alway_n which_o he_o hear_v and_o have_v regard_n unto_o so_o i_o see_v that_o the_o priest_n be_v liar_n who_o will_v be_v teacher_n of_o other_o and_o yet_o know_n not_o what_o they_o say_v nor_o whereof_o they_o affirm_v who_o will_v persuade_v you_o to_o follow_v they_o and_o to_o uphold_v they_o in_o their_o covetous_a practice_n and_o tell_v people_n that_o hear_v they_o be_v the_o right_a way_n and_o observe_v their_o tradition_n and_o custom_n be_v the_o right_a way_n and_o believe_v in_o a_o christ_n without_o you_o and_o look_v for_o a_o christ_n without_o you_o be_v the_o right_a way_n so_o be_v those_o which_o christ_n speak_v of_o shall_v come_v in_o the_o last_o day_n say_v lo_o here_o be_v christ_n and_o lo_o there_o be_v christ_n but_o say_v he_o believe_v they_o n●r_n nor_o go_v not_o after_o they_o for_o friend_n that_o which_o may_v be_v know_v of_o god_n be_v manifest_a in_o you_o so_o till_o you_o return_v to_o that_o of_o god_n in_o you_o the_o light_n you_o be_v in_o the_o darkness_n out_o of_o the_o good_a way_n in_o a_o evil_a way_n in_o a_o way_n that_o be_v not_o good_a whatsoever_o you_o and_o your_o priest_n may_v say_v of_o it_o neighbour_n and_o friend_n i_o speak_v by_o experience_n what_o i_o have_v see_v and_o know_v that_o speak_v i_o unto_o you_o in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n that_o you_o may_v take_v warning_n betimes_o for_o there_o be_v no_o other_o way_n to_o know_v christ_n but_o in_o the_o light_n wherewith_o you_o be_v enlighten_v so_o if_o you_o will_v own_v the_o right_a way_n where_o god_n dwell_v &_o where_o he_o be_v to_o be_v find_v you_o must_v then_o return_v in_o to_o the_o light_n to_o that_o which_o may_v be_v know_v of_o god_n in_o you_o and_o be_v in_o love_n with_o the_o light_n for_o god_n be_v light_a he_o that_o love_v the_o light_n bring_v his_o deed_n to_o the_o light_n and_o come_v to_o the_o light_n christ_n know_v you_o not_o how_o that_o christ_n be_v in_o you_o except_o you_o be_v reprobate_n you_o that_o talk_v and_o prate_v and_o say_v you_o believe_v in_o a_o christ_n without_o you_o who_o be_v profess_v a_o god_n and_o a_o christ_n without_o you_o and_o that_o he_o save_v his_o

who_o be_v come_v a_o light_n into_o the_o world_n that_o all_o man_n through_o he_o may_v believe_v this_o be_v he_o who_o suffer_v and_o dye_v at_o jerusalem_n and_o no_o other_o christ_n i_o own_o

and_o yet_o you_o be_v believe_v it_o and_o receive_v it_o so_o what_o be_v this_o to_o you_o for_o you_o to_o say_v christ_n save_v his_o people_n from_o their_o sin_n for_o you_o bear_v witness_n
