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-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
took up their quarters there and I lay there three nights and the day after being the first day of another week I went to hear the Word preached at the Castle in Exceter where I kept this first day with the Church that met there and there I saw my London-friends that a while had dwelt in the Castle and I continued till late in the evening with them relating the goodness of the Lord to me by the way of my journey and acquainting them with the welfare of London-friends and how joyfully the prisoners at Windsor-Castle took their sufferings it being upon so noble an account And these friends wondred much at my taking so long a journey and said Sure some extraordinary thing was to be made manifest in my going so far and therefore they would hearken after it and observe the Lords work in it for they thought there was something more then ordinary to be brought forth in that I was carried so far a journey and having so little acquaintance with them I went with which made them admire what the Lord would do with me and so did many and my self also thought and was perswaded That the Lord would shew some special favours to me and so he did I largely thereof enjoyed before my return back again and I took leave of those friends that night and came to my lodging at Mrs. Winters The next day the Lord greatly ravished my soul with his smiling looks on me and he filled me that day with prayer and singing and discovering the tottering shaking condition of Clergie-Function And likewise praying for many particular friends at London and specially for them at Alhallows-meeting and for those friends at the Castle forementioned speaking to every one of their conditions and likewise begging sinners to come to Christ And I spake to variety of conditions that day wherein many souls were refreshed And I lay all that night in a rapture of great joy and had sights of my further journey how God would carry me safe and with much pleasantness to my journies end the which we went towards in the morning it being the third day of the week in which day we parted with Colonel Bennet and his Daughter and Servants and his Wife bore me company with Captain Langdon and his Wife and their Servants this was our company that went from Exceter together and lodged by the way that night which dayes journey was very sweet to us and we had much of the Lord's preservation with us Then the next day which was the fourth day we came to Colonel Bennet's house where we lodged that night and my heart was very chearfully carried on in reading over every dayes mercy when I came to my lodging And the next day after dinner we took our leave there and parted with Colonel Bennet's Wife at her house who shewed me much love and told me She would send for me to her house again after a little time expired Col. Bennet by the way as we journeyed being taken much with my experiences said They were not to be hid but they were to be manifested for the benefit of others said He would have me ride to some of his friends houses for that dispensation of the Lord on me was not to be concealed And indeed he manifested much kindness to me as we journeyed in company together and charged his daughter to be very tenderly careful of me for that I was not in a capacity to minde my outward man This his kindness lasted to Exceter But now to come again to my journeying from his house in Cornwal which I told you we departed from after dinner and came to Captain Langdons sister where we lodged and were lovingly entertained the fifth day and there I had much love from God and from strangers and a very refreshing lodging and the creatures were very sweet to my taste there As for the six dayes before we came to Exceter I eat very little but we went from thence the sixth day after breakfast we took our leave of those Relations of Captain Langdons And the sixth day at night we came to Mrs. Langdons brothers house where we received a courteous entertainment and a refreshing lodge and my heart there was taken up much with the apprehension of the vanity of outward enjoyments and great attendances and brave houses and my thoughts were much upon the Rocks I passed by in my journey the dangerous rocky places I rode over And whereas I used to be very fearful when I rode on smooth ground now I feared not but was very cheerfully carried on beholding my Rock Christ through those emblems of Rocks and I sate as in a chair upon the high steep hills without any wearisomness at all and the thoughts of the Lords kindeness to me in these things drunk up my thoughts that night and the next day we came safe to our journeys end at Tregasow at Captain Langdons habitation and there we ended our journey the last day of the week which had been accomplishing thirteen dayes And the Lord much appeared to all of us the whole journey praised he his Name whose Name was to us indeed a strong Tower The Lord was our munition of Rocks and large provision every way to souls and bodies And thus I have given an account as briefly as I could of my journey-progress and blessed fare by the way and of the extraordinary and ordinary breakings forth of the light of his countenance and communications all along those thirteen dayes now expired Here follows a Relation in the next place of several passages and actings by creatures in a way of love and hatred some frowning few smiling many rejecting few receiving manifested from the first day to the last day of my abode there in Cornwal in the West Also of my imprisonment in Bridewel and my enlargment therefrom I Shall now begin the Relation of my first coming to Captain Langdons house where there came many of Captain Langdons acquaintance to see them at their first coming home and most of them gave me but a sowre greeting they having been informed before concerning my Spirit as it was reported to me afterwards but they frowningly and dissemblingly saluted me though their hearts were against me as many of them made it to appear largely afterwards and some became loving friends among them that loved me not when I first came but I seeing these unlovely carriages from the most part of them that came there that evening and afternoon it made me very thoughtful what it would produce I sate down in the room a while where I heard many discourses from them to one another and with Captain Langdon and I not relishing the discourse had a minde to walk in the Garden by my self and so I did a while wherein the Lord gave me much of his loving-welcome and kinde salutations saying Though thou seest many frown on thee it shall not make thee sad for thy Saviour will smile on thy soul in
