understand you are not married A. T. Then having no hinderance why may not I go where I please if the Lord so will Then spoke Justice Launse But did not some desire you to come down And this Lobb asked me too but I told them I would accuse none I was there to answer as to what they should charge my own particular with Launse said Pray Mistriss tell us what moved you to come such a journey A.T. The Lord gave me leave to come asking of him leave whitherever I went I used still to pray for his direction in all I do and so I suppose ought you I said Justice Launse But pray tell us what moved you to come such a journey A. T. The Lord moved me and gave me leave Launse But had you not some of extraordinary impulses Spirit that brought you down pray tell us what those were A. T. When you are capable extraordinary of impulse of Spirit I will tell you but I suppose you are not in a capacity now for I saw how deridingly he spoke and for answering him thus he said I was one of a bold Spirit but he soon took me down so himself said but some said It took them down for the Lord carried me so to speak that they were in a hurry and confusion and sometimes would speak all together that I was going to say What are you like women all speakers and no hearers but I said thus What do you speak all at a time I cannot answer all when speaking at once I appeal to the civillest of you and I directed my speech to Justice Lobb who spake very moderately and gave me a civil answer saying You are not acquainied with the manner of the Court which is to give in their sayings A.T. But I cannot answer all at once indeed I do not know the manner of the Court for I never was before any till now Justice Lobb You prophesie against Truro A.T. Indeed I pray against the sins of the people of Truto and for their souls welfare are you angry for that Lobb But you must not judge Authority but pray for them and not speak so suspiciously of them and more to this purpose he spoke to me A.T. I will take up your word in which you said I was not to judge you said well for so saith the Scripture Who art thou that judgest anothers mans servant to his own master he standeth or falleth yea he shall be holden up for God is able to make him stand but you have judged me and never heard me speak you have not dealt so well by me as Agrippa dealt by Paul though Agrippa was an Heathen he would have Paul speak before he gave in his judgement concerning him Justice Tregegle Oh you are a dreamer A.T. So they called Joseph therefore I wonder not that you call me so Justice Selye said You knew we were with you yesterday A.T. I did not Justice Selye He which is the Major said you will not say so A.T. I will speak it being it's truth He said Call the women that will witness they heard you say You knew we were with you and he pulled out a writing and named their names calling to some to fetch them A.T. You may suborne false witnesses against me for they did so against Christ and I said Produce your witnesses Justice Sely. We shall have them for you at next Assizes They put it off long enough because one was fallen in a sound before the got out of the house were she dwelt and the other was come into the Sessions-house and Mrs. Grose a gentlewoman of the town standing by her that was their false witness said Wilt thou take an oath thus take heed what thou dost it 's a dangerous thing to take a false oath and she ran out of the Sessions-house this was credibly reported And here ended their witnesses that they had procured against me as to that There was a souldier that smiled to hear how the Lord carried me along in my speech and Justice Selye called to the Jailor to take him away saying He laughed at the Court He thought him to be one of my friends and for his cheerful looking the Jailor had like to have had him then I said Scripture speaks of such who make a man an offender for a word but you make a man an offender for a look They greatly bussled as if they would have taken him away but this was quickly squasht their heat as to this lasted not long In the mean time the other Sely was talking to Major Bawden wondering such a man as he who had been so well reputed for a judicious sober understanding man should hearken to me many words were used to him to that purpose I said Why might not he and others try all things and hold fast that which is best But they still cast grim looks on me and they had a saying to Major Bawden and to Captain Langdon then whom they derided in a Letter sent from Truro by some of their learned Court which wrote that Captain Langdon and Major Bawden stood up and made a learned defence They had indeed such learning from the Spirit of wisdom and of a sound minde which the Jurors and their companions were not able to contend against their speech and whole deportment was so humble and self denying and so seasoned with the salt of grace which their flashy unsavory spirits could not endure those that are raised from the dung-hill and set on thrones cannot sit there without vaunting and shewing their fools coat of many colours as envie and pride and vain glory these and other colours they show which delights not King Jesus nor his followers Justice Lobb told me I made a disturbance in the town I asked Wherein he said By drawing so many people after me I said How did I draw them he said I set open my Chamber-doors and my windows for people to hear A.T. That 's a very unlikely thing that I should do so for I prayed the maid to lock my chamber-door when I went to bed and I did not rise in the night sure to open it I said Why may not I pray with many people in the room as well as your professing women that prays before men and women she knowing them to be there but I know not that there is any body in the room when I pray and if you indite one for praying why not another why are you so partial in your doings Justice Lobb But you don't pray so as others A.T. I pray in my chamber Justice Travel Your chamber A. T. Yea that it 's my chamber while I am there through the pleasure of my friends They used more words to me sometimes slighting and mockingly they spoke and sometimes seeming to advise me to take heed how I spoke and prayed so again Many such kinde of words Justice travel used and Justice Lobb And one thing I omitted in telling you when I told you how I answered Justice
that they might be of one heart and one minde and that knowledge might cover the earth as water the sea and that Jew and Gentile-fulness might be brought in and the Kingdom restored to this old Israel which was the first married Wife as it 's recorded in Scripture And that Judges and Rulers might be as at the beginning as Moses and Joshua and as Samuel and Gideon and other faithful ones as is made mention of in Scripture And I besought the Lord for these things and for the reign of Christ in and by which these things should be brought forth and for this every one professing the Lord ought to pray And thus I spent the second day and it was very sweet to me and fitted me for what I was to suffer in those parts And after that second day my heart was carried on very chearfully in the apprehensions of the Lords presence still with me and I had a great deal of tenderness from my friends I went down with who were as a tender Father and Mother to me at all times and in suffering their tenderness and care of me exceeded it abounded as my sufferings abounded and many that were at the first strange in their carriages to me after I had been there a while they were very loving to me and I had great kindness from the whole family where I abode till the wills of men fetcht me away with their Souldiers Further I shall give people to know that after I had been a week and a few dayes there I was desired to go to Truro to hear the Lecture that was kept there every third day so I did and that morming before we went there came a Letter which after we had prayed was read wherein a Gentleman at Truro invited Captain Langdon and his Wife and my self to his house the which invitation we looked upon as answer of prayer it coming so suitable to those requests put up to the Lord that morning And we went to Truro and heard the Sermon and that day there preacht one Mr. Allen a young man who spake of many things from the I verse of the 8 of the Romans And when the Sermon was ended we went home with Mrs. Hill to dinner her husband having invited us by writing the which I mentioned And after dinner there came many to see me some out of good-will and love to what they had heard was of God in me and others came to gaze and others to catch at my words so as to reproach me but the Lord taught me how to speak before them all as in the presence of the great God I spake who is my Father who alwaies shewed me kindness and did then before those several sorts of people I seeing many come into the room and Mr. Powel a Teacher in those parts came in with his Wife and another woman so that being there I thought to be silent but some desiring to have me speak I said I was loth to speak before that critical-pated man who would take my words and put his own sence upon them and so insnare me and it proved according as I said but when I had sat a while and saw so great a room full of people who desired I should give an account for their edification and satisfactions what God had done for my soul there having gone such a rumour abroad concerning me some saying one thing and some another it was therefore thought convenient to speak something among that great company of people that was come to my friends house and the Lord bringing that word also which is recorded by the Apostle 1 Pet. 3.15 which is to be ready to give an account at all times when required of the hope that is in me And I being desired to speak I thought it my duty though at the first I refused and when I began to speak I said to Captain Langdon who was then discoursing with that Mr. Power I mentioned I said I remember a word from Mr. Bridges of Yarmouth which was That we must still either be doing or receiving good And said I here is neither of these among us and I repeated a word I told them Mr. Greenhil once said to one whom he desired with many of that Congregation then present who desired experiences to be imparted to them using that word of David's who said Come you that fear God and I will tell you what God hath done for my soul and then I took up Paul's speech he used before Agrippa having been falsly accused by many he declares the manner of his life from his youth Acts 26. And so to others he said How he had walked in all good conscience before the Lord unto that day he then spoke it Acts 23. I used these words of the Apostle and said This was his practice when false rumours had gone concerning him and being that people had reported many things which were very contrary concerning me I thought it requisite to acquaint them there present with the Lords dealings concerning me from my Childhood And I told them the first conviction I had at nine yeers old and how I remained under a formal work and then how I was brought into a despairing condition and was so a while and then I told them the Work of Free-grace on me and the Testimony of the Spirit bearing witness to my Spirit that I was in union with the Father Son and Spirit and I told them of my desertions and temptations and of Satans many cunning wiles and of freedom many times therefrom and I related my fit of sickness which was cured in believing that I had eight yeers ago and I related the time and manner of my coming into Church order and likewise I told them the first bringing of my Spirit into this extraordinary praying and singing and visions was six weeks before Dunbar-fight in Scotland which was a beginning three yeers before but did not so much appear to the view of others and I told them how I prayed against this publick-spiritedness and how the Lord silenced me from those words in 1 Cor. 1.27 28. But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things that are wights and base things of the world and things which are despised hath God chosen yea and things that are not to bring to nought things that are I could be contented to be made use of under these terms as a fool and base and despised and as a thing that is not The Lord knows I then stooped to his will to do with me as he pleased when he set home this Scripture to my soul And this I told them and a great deal more largely then I will relate for brevities sake I gave a Relation of my horrible fit I was in a yeer ago and Sarans tyranny over me in that time and the great freedom the Lord afforded me after that storm and the
had a vision of the Ministers wife stirring against me and she was presented to me as one enviously bent against me calling that falsity which she understood not And I saw the Glergie-man and the Jurors contriving an Indictment against me and I saw my self stand before them in a vision I saw this And I sang with much courage and told them I feared not them nor their doings for that I had not deserved such usage But while I was singing praises to the Lord for his love to me the Justices sent their Constable to fetch me who came and said He must have me with him and he pulled and call'd me they said that were by but I was not capable thereof they said He was greatly troubled how to have me to his Master they told him He had better obey God then man And his hand shooke they said while he was pulling me Then some went to the Justices to tell them I could not come But they would not be pacified some offered to be bound for my appearance next day if I were in a capacity but this was refused they would have me out of my bed unless some would take their Oaths that it would in danger my life to be taken out of my bed which none could do without they had loved to take false Oaths like some others in those parts Then a friend perswaded them to see whether they could put me out of that condition and told them I was never known to be put out of it so they came Justice Launce now a Parliament-man was one of them I was told These Justices that came to ferch me out of my bed they made a great rumult them and their followers in the house and some came up stairs crying A witch a witch making a great stir on the stairs and a poor honest man rebuking such that said so he was tumbled down stairs and beaten too by one of the Justices followers and the Justices made a great noise in putting out of my chamber where I lay many of my friends and they said If my friends would not take me up they would have some should take me up one of my friends told them That they must fetch their silk gowns to do it them for the poor would not do it And they threatned much but the Lord over-ruled them they caused my eye-lids to be pull'd up for the said I held them fast because I would deceive the people they spake to this purpose One of the Justices pincht me by the nose and caused my pillow to be pull'd from under my head and kept pulling me and calling me but I heard none of all this stir and bussle neither did I hear Mr. Welsted which I was told called to the Rulers saying A whip will fetch her up and he stood at the Chamber door talking against me and said She speaks non-sence the women said Hearken for you cannot hear there is such a noise then he listened and said Now she hears me speak she speaks sence And this Clergie-man durst not come till the Rulers came for then they say The witches can have no power over them so that one depends upon another Rulers upon Clergie and Clergie upon Rulers And again After they had made all the fury appear that the Lord permitted them to vent against me they then went away saying She will fall in a trance when we shall at any time call for her The Lord kept me this day from their cruelty which they had a good minde further to have let out against me that witch tryer-woman of that Town some would fain have had come with her great pin which she used to thrust into witches to try them but the Lord my God in whom I trust delivered me from their malice making good that word to me in the Psalms The rage of man shall turn to thy praise and the remnant of rages thou wilt restrain Then further to tell you how the Lord carried me in singing prayer after they were gone two hours as I was told and then I came to my self and being all alone I blessed God for that quiet still day that I had And the Gentlewoman of the house coming into the chamber I said Have I lain alone all this day I have had a sweet day she replied and said Did not I hear the Justices there and the uproare that was in my chamber I said No. Then she told me how they dealt by her house bringing in their followers and what a noise they made Then another friend asked me Whether I did not hear that stir I said No. They wondred and so did I when I heard the Relation which is much more then I will write for I don't take delight to stir in such puddles it 's no pleasant work to me but that truth engageth me to let the world know what men have acted against the pourings out of the Spirit in a dispensation beyond their understanding they hearkened not to Scripture-advice which would not have any judge that they know not After that dayes tumult at night many came to catch at my words and it was very probable that the Rulers sent some to watch for what could be had further against me and there were two women that they had got their names who had promised them to swear against me and of this I shall further speak when I come to it but now I am telling of what past that night mentioned many people spake much to me asking me questions the which the Lord helped me to answer And my friends kept most part of that night in prayer on my behalf And many watched what they said in prayer for there were listeners under the window which fain would have had something to have informed against them There was great endeavouring to have found a Bill of Indictment against Captain Langdon but they could not they could not vent their spleen though they to the utmost desired it the Lord would not let them have their evil desires herein for though they in this would have brought him into contempt yet they endeavoured this that so I might want a surety and then they had had what they desired which was to have cast me into the Goal But to leave that and to tell you that I had the presence of the Lord with me that night abundantly and my sleep was sweeter then at other times my sister Langdon lay with me that night and in the murning she told me That she could not sleep all night for thinking of my going to the Sessions that day she told me She wandered I could sleep so soundly all night I told her I never had a sweater night in my lise and as for my going before the Rulers I was no what afraid or thoughtful for I had cast my care upon the Lord which I was perswaded would speak for me therefore I was not troubled nor afraid for the Lord said to me Fear not be not dismaied I am
bed wiping away the tears from my eyes which she said came exceeding fast all night as I sung and prayed And truly the Sonne from on high had very much thawed my heart and I prayed and sung after that night four dayes and sometimes wrapt up in silence with the Lord beholding his glory in visions and on the last day of that week I spoke to some sea-men and others that came to visit me telling them the Lords kindnesse to me in my troubles in Cornwall and other experiences I related to them and the Lord knows I did speak of these things to them that they might be more in love with Christ who let out himself to a poore creature so extraordinarily And the next day after it was the first day of another week some would fain have had me gone to have heard the word preached that day but it could not be granted that I should go out of the Fort and indeed I was very weak having lain four dayes and five nights and came not out of my bed nor took no refreshing creature save a draught of small beer or syder and sometimes eat a little piece of toast out of it and this was but once at a night and not every night neither and this was for sixt dayes and this first day that I rose out of my bed I lay down again quickly and I took a Bible and read the 11. Chapter of Luke and the 12. Chapter and my heart was much taken with the words there that Christ spoke to them and the Lord applyed much to me of what Christ spoke concerning their calling of him Beelzebub and if they dealt so with Christ I thought it was but as Christ was dealt with to be called Devil and that saying I was possest with a lying spirit but this was made very easie when I conceived Christ bare a great deal more and after that these Chapters were fastened and knit to my heart the Lord making them mine I admiring at the sufferings of Christ and at his patience and I continued singing most part of that day concerning the Resurrection and my interest therein and I sang as to the conditions of many who lived in the Fort and concerning my passage on the sea that I should have speaking of the Lords appearances that I should have there and the Joy and Triumph I should be in in all my imprisonment time and the next day after this it being the second day of the week I had been a prisoner seven dayes and this was the eighth day from the Souldiers taking me so I that day at night after the hours spent with my friends at London which I knew kept that day in part in prayer so did I though absent in body from them and at night as I said before I went down and discoursed with Lieutenant Lark a while and after I had shewed him two Letters which I had written to London that he saw there was none of that which is called Treason in them then I wished him a good night and I went to bed and he the next day rode out of Town to fetch his wife who was with her friends in the Countrey and in his absence Ensign Owen was my keeper and he was very carefull to fulfill his office and was loath to let in my friends to see me but charged them at the gate with trespasse if they let in any of my friends saying they had best to be traytors too so he was as severe as if I had been a traytor yet he spake me very fair to my face but I saw he indeavoured to catch my words and to ensnare me putting his own sense upon them but the Lord kept me out of his insnarements but he watched for my halting and when my friends came a great way to see me they had much ado to get into the Fort and then my Gaoler sat by and heard what I said to my friends but this severity was not many days for Major Sanders came and then my Gaoler departed who told me the order did not make mention of my going to the Counsel but Major Sanders read that I should and so did the Lieutenant but my Gaoler it may be had a mind to affright me but he could not and he told me I dreamed that the order run so I am sure I said I was not asleep but he jeered me and he told Major Sanders that I would not have so many people come to me indeed he would have had no body come if he could have bore sway but the Lord ordered all for my good and when Major Sanders came he gave me leave with a keeper which was a friend to go to hear the first dayes and he was very courteous and so was Lieutenant Lark who came home with his wife before I was gone I stayed there for the wind and a States Ship to carry me I staid five weeks the Lord made it but as a few dayes to me I had so much of his presence and power from him he made kindnesse flow from strangers in the Family and in the Fort these were strangers and yet they were fellow Citizens and I blesse the Lord they are not now strangers but acquaintance and they are a company that are written in my heart they and their Teacher for they were not ashamed of my Chain they owned me in my Bonds and were a succour to me in a strange Countrey my Soul was administred to by them and the Pastor over them they every way administred to my necessity in what I stood in need of I wanted not their help and the people of the Parish shewed me love in visiting me and some of them when they had heard me pray and in singing they wept that they had taken up hard thoughts of me Their Teacher Mr. Hughes was very bitter against me and would not come and talk with me though some of his Auditory desired him but he writ to one of his friends at Cornwall that he had read my book and he from that drew that I was an impostor and he called the book non sense so that he confirmed his friend in her judging of me and so he continued judging me for the sake of that Dispensation he never saw nor came not to try it by the word but he indeavoured to incense others against me and his sometimes Scholler R.V. was afraid to displease his Father Hughes else he would have come according to his promise but it may be had forgot that he promised a young man whom I sent the first night I came to tell him I was come to the Fort a prisoner and I knew not how little a while I should stay therefore I should be glad to see him and he told the Messenger that he would come next day but he came not and yet was much in the Town most part of my stay there and many wondered he came not to see me having been acquainted with me above seven years the

Chap. For the Lord hath made them abhor their Dalilah sins and cut off such right hands and pluck out such right eyes those sins that were so near and delightfull to them they say get you hence they hate folly and vain thoughts and say with David in the 119. Psalm O how I love thy Law unto such will the glorious Lord be a place of broad rivers not a narrow channel nor a marshy ditch where the flags and rushes cover the water springs nor a narrow winding Creek where boats cannot passe along neither is it shallow but deep and broad a place of broad rivers and streams it s indeed an Ocean it comprehends all rivers and streams and this may be said of it Oh the higth and depth length and breadth these are Rivers that the Waters rise up to the Ancles yea to the knees and so to the loins and at length they become a flowing high spring that runs over banks Ezex 47.3 4 5. and fils the meadowes and Ezekiel gives a report of these high spring Waters in his Prophesie its good to be diptor plunged in this Jordan river which takes away all deformity and cleanseth from all leprosie and its a comforting refreshing River this is Water of Life it recovers the dying vitalls and fainting Spirits the which none of mens strong liquors of Arts and Sciences can do neither can any compounded water of humane invention be so effectuall though they still it in the Limbeck of brain-study draining it through the long pipe of curious witty phrases yet such Equors will soon lose their spirits but as for the Water that the soul drawes out of the Well of Salvation through Faiths Bucket which retains the Sent and fragrant Smell and operative Nature and the soul swimes in the broad rivers that are promised Zion which Rivers will admit no gaily with oares to row therein no troublers shall come there none of mens gallantry nor ships of Merchandise shall sad there no turkish nor English gally of power and strength and device mannaged with Souldiour oares shall appear to take the free-born captive that river will presently sink such gallies and oares too and if so be gallant Councel ships and great numerous Parliament ships which are made of wood and pitch and rosin and tarre and okum such stuff as wil burn to ashes when the fire comes which Scriptures speaks of it s not the Clergy nails that can fasten such ships together and make them sail which are heavy lumpish bottomes that have no nimble swift motion at all whereby to do service for King Jesus and his subjects But the broad river is preparing its making its path thorough all opposition its ships are all making ready and preparing to swim The great Ship-Wright I speak this with reverence and holy aw of God and say that the great artificial Ship-Wright and Carpenters Son so called by the Jews which was the glorious Messiah this mighty God is fitting his ships for this time these are the Zion spoken of Micah 4.13 whose horns are Iron and hoofs brasse who are exhorted to arise and thresh and beat in pieces many people and these will not waste the gain neither will they feast it away but they will consecrate it unto the Lord of the whole earth they will serve his interest with it not their own ends and felfish interests This is a time longed for by the New Non-conformists who are Christs little flock whom he bids not to fear for it pleased his Father to give them a Kingdome Therefore get you to your strong holds Oh Israel and Prisoners for you are Prisoners of hope you seek not great things for your selves but for the Lords Anointed ones you cry to the Lord and not for earthly Palaces nor White-Hall-Garden-Walkes nor Kitchin-belly-chear nor
