amongst whom the Lord sent this his dear Servant and Messenger George Fox with the Message of Life at the publishing whereof in the Demonstration of the Spirit and Power of Jesus Christ the aforesaid John Camm my dear Father with John Audland Francis Howgil Edward Borough Richard Hubberthorn and many Hundreds more were convinced and their hearts opened as was the Heart of Lydia in former days and by the Revelation of the day of God and the inshining of his Heavenly Light in their Hearts they came to see that they wanted the lively possession of what they had made a great profession of which profession several of them had esteemed of as great riches of all which they came to be spoiled their Wisdom that stood in words only being confounded they became as Fools and at the Revelation of Jesus Christ they consulted no more there with but it became as Dross and Dung in comparison of the excellent Knowledg of Jesus Christ revealed by his Spirit to regenerate them and sprinkle their Hearts and Consciences from dead words to which they were Stangers notwithstanding their great profession under the sence of which great was the Gry and the Lamentation of many unspeakable for the day of the Lord was dreadful and terrible upon every high and exalted thing and many lofty ones and tall Cedars high in profession were bowed down under the mighty hand of Gods Power and Judgment begun at the House of God the Heart his Temple and by the Spirit of Judgment and Burning the eternal God entered and begun his blessed Work in order to redeem purge and make clean Vessels for his own use and service through and by whom he might carry on his blessed design and work in the Nations to the Glory of his Eternal Name And John Camm amongst many others was bowed down under the mighty Power of the Lord and the operation of the blessed Spirit was effectually known in his Heart and Soul whereby he was made willing to take up the Cross and become a Fool for Christ's sake forsaking the World and all the Glory Delights Pleasures Wisdoms and Riches of it of which he had enjoyed a share equal if not above many of his degree for naturally he was a Wise Man in Worldly matters having at that time great concerns and dealings therein and the World seemed to smile upon him and the riches and glory of it had exceedingly encreased and was then likely to encrease more yet notwithstanding all this the Lord so prevailed by his Power and Spirit in his Heart that he was made willing to part with all and counted it a blessed exchange to be made an Heir in Christ of that durable Riches laid up in Heaven that his Soul had Travelled for so that it was no hard thing for him to forsake all for Christ's sake and become a despised Follower of him through many Tribulations And after a day of great trouble and inward exercise through the blessed operation of that Spirit of Judgment and Burning wherein he saw the old Heavens and Earth to pass away as a Scrole and all things to be made new even as a prepared Vessel● the Lord filled him with his Power and Spirit and put his Word in his Mouth called him from all his outward concerns and enjoyments to publish the same word in the Demonstration of his eternal Power unto which he of a ready mind was made obedient and Travelled into all the Northren Countries to the Borders of Scotland and to London to declare the Message of the Lord to Oliver Cromwel then called Protector being accompanied by dear Francis Howgil who were two of the first that published the Message of Truth in that City as in this our day gloriously revealed and made known In a little time after his return from London he with J. Audland F. Howgil Edward Borough and Richard Huberthorn who have all blessedly finished their Course and time here in that blessed Work which the Lord called them unto being entred into the Joy of the Lord the Labours together with part of the Travels of Francis Howgil Edward Borough and Richard Huberthorn are already collected by other Brethren to which the Reader is referred these five Brethren Travelled out South-ward John Camm and Edward Borough through the middle of the Nation the others through other parts as the Lord directed them and after some time they all met together with several other Brethren at London where the Lord had a great Work but after some time John Camm and John Audland were called towards Bristol after that time Travelling together where and in the Countries adjacent was a Door effectually open'd unto them and many Hundreds were by the Word and Testimony of Truth by them published convinced and turned to God many of whom have to this day kept their Integrity to God and are their living Epistles and can bless the Lord on their behalfs who made them instrumental in his Hand to beget them again into a lively hope in Christ the Lord through whom they have a strong hope to receive an Inheritance amongst the Sanctified being prepared to the Kingdom of glory everlasting How gloriously the Lord appeared in that City and the Countries adjacent and how he prospered his Work in the Hands of these his Servants how great and manifold their Labours Travels and Perils in those Parts I am not able to relate but shall leave in hope that some one or other of my Brethren in those Parts may be engaged to perform some part of that work who may have a larger knowledge thereof as being present with them in many of their exercises which were not a few to my knowledge but such was their zeal for the Lord and the prosperity of his work that their very lives was not dear unto them for the Lord the Gospel and his Peoples sake but to spend and be spent they were freely in the will of the Lord given up their care and watchings being for the prosperity of his work continually And being that my Father was but naturally of a weak constitution of Body inclining to be Consumptive by the many and daily Travels that he underwent his outward Body did waste and his strength spend exceedingly having a most violent Cough so that for several Years before his death he was never able to walk on Foot half a Mile at one time nay many times he was not able to go up one pair of Stairs into a Meeting-place without help yet nevertheless while the Meeting continued through the enlivening Power and Spirit of God would have been over the sence of his Bodily weakness but after the Meeting was over many times as one ready to be dissolved In this outward weakness he Travelled through many Countries and places of the Nation to the confirming and strengthning of the Flock of God for several Years sometimes taking me along with him to wait upon him his weakness being grown so great that he was not
