Sowle at the Crooked-Billet in Holywell-Lane in Shoreditch 1693. A Declaration of the bountiful Loving-kindness of the Lord manifested to one who stood idle in the Market-place till the Eleventh Hour yet received her Penny This is that none might dispair Also a discovery of her Sufferings through her disobedience and rebellion against God's precious Truth that none might presume or harden their Hearts in the Day of God's Visitation A Maid young and beautiful that often went with her Relations to the Meetings of the People of God called Quakers and had a love raised in her Heart to the most precious Truth and also to them who indeed held it in a pure Conscience yet did not give up to the Obedience of Faith but still lived in the Customs and Fashions of this Evil World to the wounding and stifling of the precious Life of Jesus Christ in her but the same Love of the Lord that had begotten a tenderness in her and raised up a love to Truth followed her and would not suffer her to sit down in the World without trouble for although she was much taken notice of by them who loved vanity and delighted in beauty more then vertue and she by this became further off from faithfulness yet here she must not take up her rest for the Lord visited her with great weakness and she grew ill and declined and fell into a Consumption and lived in a consumeing state about three years outward means and medicines were used for her recovery yet from first to last not any thing that was done to her or for her did her any good as she often declared but she still grew weaker and weaker and besides this she had such a soreness all over her poor Bones as hath not been known in such weakness which being taken notice of by a Friend which was nearly related to her she said Surely this is more then ordinary this is more immediately the Hand of the Lord upon thee then is usual this is the Judgment of the Lord upon thee for thy Disobedience and she being in a low condition considered the matter and the Lord set it upon her Heart and she cried unto the Lord for Mercy as she said mightily and it was shewed her one night that if she did not speedily Repent and submit to God's precious Truth she should be smitten with Lameness from Head to Foot then did she apply her Heart unto the Lord and his faithful Messengers whose Feet are beautiful upon the Mountain of Holiness bringing the Glad-tydings of Salvation unto the weary and heavy laden saying I have hardened my Heart at many a precious Meeting when the Lord hath smitten me and I have seen plainly the Lord would have gathered me but I said in my Heart if I receive this if I give up to it I must be a Quaker and I cannot be a Quaker then said she would I take my Heart from attending upon the Ministration of Truth and then my Heart became more hard What shall I do said she that now I may receive the Faithful sayings of the Servants of the Lord Ah that my Heart were open but it is shut and hard when shall I find Mercy in this State She remained for some time and grew weaker and weaker in Body and on the first Day she took her Bed she was much under the Righteous Judgments of the Lord and felt his Word in her Heart as a Fire but the Lord in Judgment remembred Mercy and having brought her very low he shewed her the Childs state which she with great delight desired and indeed she became as a little Child fit for the Kingdom of Heaven Then did the Lord rend the Vail and shewed her his Glory and the preciousness of his pure everlasting Truth and the Light shined out of Darkness and in it she saw Light and received the Knowledge of God whom to know is Life Eternal and her Heart was filled with Joy and her Mouth with Praises and she lay for many hours without the sence of pain or weakness sounding forth the Praises of the Lord refusing to take any Cordials or ought else to support the natural Spirits saying I am well I feel no pain I am full my Cup runs over I am filled as with Marrow and Fatness I have seen his Glory and tasted of his most precious Truth and it is sweet unto my taste Ah how precious how pure is Gods Everlasting Truth nothing so pure and they who indeed receive it are made pure by it praised be the Lord who hath made me partaker of it and placed me amongst his People Ah Blessed God who hath given me cause to sing aloud of thy praise then some about her seeing her very week thought it might wear her too much told her she might praise the Lord in her Heart and bid her try if she could sleep but she said she was well and needed no sleep neither is my Mouth dry said she nor I faint but she was perswaded to take something and so lay still but after some time she said Surely I should not have been stopt but I will now try if I can sleep which she did sweetly and in the morning said Although I have slept yet my Heart hath been exercised in the Praises of the Lord and that day lay very preciously speaking to several persons as came to visit her to their several conditions shewing to some who lived in pleasure her Hands saying See here the Lord hath made these Bones bare for my rebellion because I would not submit to his most precious Truth he hath brought me to the dust and I must lay down this Body as a Sacrifice Oh do not you stand out it will cost you dear if ever you find Mercy and such like then would she sing Praises to the Lord and declare much concerning the purity of Truth exhorting all who were not made partakers of it speedily to embrace it and much more she said which will be too much to relate On the next day being very weak and it was thought she might have departed she called for some young Persons that were related to her and set before them their conditions clearly in the Light of our Lord Jesus Christ warning and exhorting them praying for them blessed them in the Spirit of discerning which the Lord gave her in the day of his Power and when some
