A76271	A short relation or testimony of the working of the light of Christ in me, from my childhood, by one who is now a witness of the spirit of truth (whom the world cannot receive) which doth convince of sin, of righteousnesse and of judgment: and brings all things to rememberance, and shews me things to come, glory to the Lord for ever: / W:B:.	Bayly, William, d. 1675.	1659 (1659)	Wing B1537; ESTC R170480	14,195	12

this_o be_v to_o you_o all_o priest_n baptist_n and_o people_n that_o be_v from_o the_o light_n which_o you_o be_v light_v withal_o that_o let_v you_o see_v your_o ungodly_a deed_n and_o hard_a

shall_v be_v witness_n on_o your_o death_n bed_n so_o after_o a_o season_n in_o this_o my_o breathe_n and_o long_a condition_n in_o which_o i_o desire_v that_o god_n will_v make_v a_o alteration_n and_o change_n among_o we_o be_v in_o all_o we_o perform_v dead_a to_o the_o pure_a simple_a life_n of_o god_n for_o which_o my_o soul_n thirst_v it_o happen_v that_o i_o hear_v a_o book_n read_v of_o the_o suffering_n of_o some_o of_o the_o people_n of_o god_n who_o be_v call_v quaker_n in_o a_o dungeon_n at_o suesham_n who_o name_n and_o suffering_n be_v strange_a to_o i_o at_o that_o time_n yet_o at_o the_o hear_n of_o it_o something_o in_o i_o do_v arise_v with_o much_o tenderness_n and_o pity_n towards_o the_o innocent_a suffer_a people_n which_o draw_v tear_n from_o my_o eye_n believe_v they_o do_v suffer_v for_o conscience_n sake_n and_o the_o same_o thing_n in_o i_o even_o say_v that_o god_n will_v avenge_v they_o on_o the_o bloody_a persecutor_n which_o have_v be_v perform_v by_o his_o mighty_a hand_n of_o power_n on_o some_o of_o they_o even_o to_o the_o cut_v they_o of_o the_o earth_n as_o brier_n and_o thorn_n for_o the_o fire_n but_o do_v not_o know_v all_o this_o time_n what_o it_o be_v that_o let_v i_o see_v these_o thing_n and_o know_v not_o light_a from_o darkness_n as_o be_v the_o state_n of_o thousand_o who_o profess_v christ_n as_o i_o do_v in_o word_n who_o lighte●●_n every_o man_n that_o come_v into_o the_o world_n and_o lead_v his_o sheep_n out_o of_o darkness_n into_o the_o fold_n of_o eternal_a life_n and_o peace_n from_o which_o the_o wise_a and_o prudent_a withal_o their_o knowledge_n comprehension_n and_o imagination_n be_v shut_v out_o for_o ever_o then_o i_o hear_v jacob_n behement_n book_n and_o begin_v to_o read_v much_o in_o they_o and_o to_o gather_v something_o of_o that_o into_o my_o comprehension_n and_o imagination_n in_o the_o brain_n but_o this_o and_o all_o the_o other_o give_v not_o p●ace_n and_o rest_n to_o the_o immortal_a soul_n which_o still_o lie_v in_o death_n and_o bondage_n by_o reason_n of_o transgression_n and_o sin_n but_o not_o long_o after_o come_v one_o a_o minister_n of_o the_o word_n of_o

which_o i_o be_v light_v withal_o which_o do_v let_v i_o see_v all_o my_o ungodly_a deed_n and_o hard_a speech_n that_o ever_o i_o have_v commit_v which_o light_n come_v from_o christ_n the_o

with_o the_o father_n the_o substance_n of_o all_o the_o type_n figure_n shadow_n ordenance_n of_o which_o may_v be_v speak_v many_o thing_n but_o he_o be_v the_o sum_n that_o redeem_v man_n by_o

then_o my_o companion_n in_o profession_n but_o not_o in_o tribulation_n for_o i_o be_v make_v to_o weep_v and_o lament_v see_v all_o the_o religion_n in_o the_o world_n to_o be_v but_o as_o a_o

from_o a_o child_n though_o i_o know_v not_o what_o it_o be_v nor_o where_o to_o find_v it_o but_o in_o this_o my_o trouble_a condition_n many_o baptist_n follow_v day_n and_o night_n to_o persuade_v
