A42003 A declaration to the world, of my travel and journey out of Ægypt into Canaan through the vvilderness, & through the Red-Sea, from under Pharaoh, and now hath a sure habitation in the Lord, where rest and peace is known; by one who dwelleth in the light which hath led him out of darkness, from Satans power to the power of God, who in the power liveth, and by it is preserved, glory be to the Lord Omnipotent.

through the righteousness judgements of the Lord and by the power of the Lord and by his outstretched arm was I brought out of AEgypt from under the thick darknesse that covered the earth then the eye of my understanding was opened and the Light appeared as the Sun that riseth in the East and setteth in the West and as I waited in that which shewed me sin evil many openings of the Fathers love I had wch made me weep for joy and at that time in the year 1655. there was many of the people of God in prison in the common Goal in Northampton amongst whom was William Duesbury whose face I never saw and the witnesse of God in me did answer to the truth which I heard he declared then I began to get truth in the comprehension being gone from under the judgements of the Lord which I was under but little before and contended with the World for the truth which now setteth me free And many times I had drawings to visit William Duesbury and the rest in Prison and I have went to the Prison door and knocked but with much fear and have went away again and durst not go in for I saw something in my self which William would cut down though I held the Truth but it was in the unrighteousness then the righteous judgement of the Lord took hold on me as before for holding the Truth in unrighteousnesse then the Word of the Lord came unto me which said Silence all flesh in the presence of the Lord then I durst not professe no more then I did possess then a day of silence I knew and subject to the higher power I was which power crucified me unto the World and the World unto me so then in the Cross I waited which crossed my own will then the Power was felt which led me out of the customs fashions traditions of men then I became a fool and a by word among my country men who cal'd me a Quaker wch word I owned for a day of Trembling and Quaking I knew by the unresistable Power of God but trembling or quaking I denyed for fear of man or the powers of man but quaking by the unresistable Power of God I durst not deny least I should deny the Power that appeared to Moses at which power he feared and trembled and David his bones were as if they were out of joynt and Habakkuk said my belly trembled and my lips quivered at the voice rottenness entered into my bones I trembled in my self that I might rest in the day of trouble and Daniel trembled and Paul trembled and was astonished at the Word of the Lord. So all people in tender love I warn you that none may rest in a profession of God and Chirst and Scriptures for that will stand in no stead when the Lord cometh to plead with you but turn to the light which maketh manifest your evil deeds for that is the true Light that lighteth every man that cometh into the World and all who are led by this Light they are led out of darkness from Satans Power to the Power of God and the day is come the ax is now laid to the root of the tree and every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewen down and cast into the fire Written by one who hath seen the travel of his soul and is satisfied and is now come of his desired haven where rest and peace is known and hath ceased from his own works and knoweth the Lord to work in him both to will and to do even his own good pleasure who is known to the World by name THOMAS GREEN Twickinham the 26 day of the 8. month 1659.
