A58143 Light sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart This is to go abroad among all people who are honest-hearted, especially amongst the inhabitants in Fourns Fells, in Lancashire, and among all who have known me after the flesh, that all honest people may see what I was in profession, and also what I now am by the grace of God. From him which hath come through great tribulations, who hath even left all for Christ, and hath not whereon to lay his head, but is forsaken of father and of mother, and of kinred also, even for the testimony of Jesus, and for the Word of God, whom the world calls, Thomas Rawlinson.

the_o scripture_n of_o truth_n yet_o i_o will_v not_o rest_v satisfy_v so_o but_o prove_v their_o work_n and_o labour_v to_o see_v what_o live_v they_o live_v whether_o their_o word_n and_o their_o

they_o be_v not_o what_o they_o profess_v themselves_o to_o be_v so_o can_v not_o but_o for_o conscience-sake_n deny_v they_o for_o i_o see_v they_o to_o be_v hypocrite_n liar_n cozener_n &_o

lover_n of_o pleasure_n more_o than_o lover_n of_o god_n so_o i_o can_v not_o but_o turn_v from_o they_o who_o have_v a_o form_n of_o godliness_n but_o deny_v the_o power_n thereof_o as_o by_o their_o

unto_o christ_n so_o when_o i_o have_v find_v out_o the_o wickedness_n of_o the_o priest_n and_o see_v they_o so_o filthy_a i_o cry_v out_o for_o sorrow_n be_v fill_v with_o sorrow_n and_o grief_n

though_o i_o run_v from_o priest_n to_o priest_n and_o do_v write_v to_o several_a of_o the_o chief_a of_o they_o concern_v my_o condition_n and_o have_v think_v that_o the_o priest_n lip_n shall_v
