have_v leave_v these_o five_o man_n upon_o record_n that_o the_o age_n to_o come_v may_v see_v the_o wickedness_n of_o they_o and_o take_v heed_n how_o they_o persecute_v innocent_a man_n that_o do_v

under_o the_o same_o condemnation_n as_o these_o man_n be_v under_o 30._o this_o i_o have_v leave_v upon_o record_n for_o the_o age_n to_o come_v after_o my_o death_n some_o of_o the_o most_o remarkable_a suffering_n which_o i_o have_v pass_v through_o in_o the_o year_n 1676._o chap._n vi_o of_o the_o prophet_n deliverance_n out_o of_o prison_n of_o the_o price_n and_o value_n that_o be_v make_v of_o he_o the_o reward_n to_o the_o two_o seed_n at_o the_o last_o day_n 1._o now_o have_v give_v a_o account_n of_o my_o suffering_n it_o will_v be_v necessary_a to_o give_v a_o account_n of_o my_o deliverance_n out_o of_o those_o trouble_n 2._o while_o i_o be_v in_o the_o press-yard_n prisoner_n the_o sheriff_n do_v send_v several_a time_n by_o the_o goal_n keeper_n to_o see_v what_o i_o will_v do_v about_o the_o fine_a but_o they_o be_v at_o no_o certainty_n what_o they_o require_v at_o last_o the_o clerk_n of_o newgate_n say_v they_o will_v take_v the_o 5_o part_n which_o be_v one_o hundred_o pound_n 3._o i_o be_v unwilling_a to_o give_v so_o much_o i_o let_v it_o alone_o a_o quarter_n of_o a_o year_n long_o for_o some_o reason_n i_o have_v in_o myself_o after_o that_o time_n i_o send_v a_o letter_n to_o treat_v with_o they_o about_o the_o fine_a the_o sheriff_n name_n be_v one_o sr._n john_n peak_n sheriff_n of_o london_n the_o other_o be_v sr._n thomas_n stamp_n sheriff_n of_o middlesex_n 4._o but_o they_o be_v very_o high_a and_o will_v not_o abate_v one_o shilling_n of_o one_o hundred_o pound_n and_o the_o cause_n why_o be_v because_o some_o of_o the_o goal_n keeper_n have_v proffer_v one_o hundred_o pound_n for_o i_o to_o keep_v a_o prisoner_n for_o ever_o or_o else_o to_o have_v a_o large_a sum_n of_o money_n for_o my_o ransom_n 5._o i_o perceive_v have_v not_o the_o shreiff_n honour_v lie_v at_o the_o stake_n i_o have_v be_v buy_v and_o sell_v as_o joseph_n be_v in_o egypt_n for_o a_o prisoner_n during_o life_n or_o till_o such_o ransom_n be_v pay_v it_o will_v have_v be_v a_o great_a disparragment_n to_o the_o sheriff_n if_o they_o have_v sell_v i_o such_o as_o be_v never_o do_v in_o england_n before_o 6._o but_o they_o have_v a_o eye_n to_o credit_n and_o somewhat_o to_o conscience_n they_o will_v not_o do_v such_o wickedness_n but_o however_o it_o cause_v they_o to_o abate_v nothing_o of_o one_o hundred_o pound_n neither_o will_v they_o give_v any_o time_n but_o pay_v down_o present_o 7._o so_o we_o borrow_v a_o hundred_o pound_v the_o next_o day_n and_o give_v to_o they_o upon_o the_o 19_o day_n of_o july_n 1677_o and_o the_o same_o day_n at_o night_n i_o be_v release_v out_o of_o prison_n and_o many_o of_o the_o believer_n do_v keep_v that_o day_n as_o a_o feast_n day_n every_o year_n in_o remembrance_n of_o my_o deliverance_n out_o of_o prison_n 8._o for_o i_o be_v prize_v at_o a_o goodly_a price_n far_o high_a than_o the_o lord_n of_o life_n when_o he_o be_v on_o earth_n he_o be_v value_v at_o but_o thirty_o piece_n of_o silver_n the_o thirty_o piece_n of_o silver_n be_v thirty_o pound_n but_o they_o value_v i_o at_o a_o hundred_o piece_n of_o silver_n for_o the_o thirty_o piece_n of_o silver_n they_o value_v christ_n at_o must_v be_v so_o much_o else_o it_o will_v not_o have_v buy_v the_o potter_n field_n 9_o now_o the_o cause_n why_o they_o value_v i_o at_o such_o a_o high_a price_n above_o my_o lord_n and_o master_n it_o be_v because_o they_o know_v i_o have_v some_o interest_n in_o this_o world_n and_o many_o follower_n of_o i_o therefore_o they_o value_v i_o at_o such_o a_o high_a price_n as_o 100_o piece_n of_o silver_n 10._o and_o as_o the_o thirty_o piece_n of_o silver_n be_v the_o price_n of_o innocent_a blood_n therefore_o not_o fit_a to_o be_v put_v into_o the_o treasury_n to_o be_v expend_v upon_o any_o holy_a use_n or_o to_o relieve_v the_o poor_a and_o the_o like_a but_o to_o buy_v a_o potter_n field_n to_o bury_v the_o stink_v carcase_n of_o stranger_n thief_n and_z murderers_z insomuch_o that_o the_o thirty_o piece_n of_o silver_n be_v bestow_v on_o the_o base_a way_n suitable_a to_o the_o purchase_n be_v the_o price_n of_o innocent_a blood_n 11._o so_o likewise_o the_o hundred_o piece_n of_o silver_n they_o value_v i_o at_o it_o be_v the_o price_n of_o innocent_a blood_n also_o though_o not_o unto_o death_n as_o our_o lord_n be_v a_o very_a goodly_a price_n 12._o and_o this_o money_n will_v not_o be_v put_v into_o the_o treasury_n to_o repair_v church_n or_o relieve_v the_o poor_a but_o will_v be_v spend_v base_o in_o lust_n and_o drunkenness_n and_o in_o volumptiousness_n suitable_a to_o the_o purchase_n of_o it_o be_v the_o price_n of_o innocent_a blood_n 13._o thus_o i_o have_v leave_v upon_o record_n the_o substance_n of_o the_o whole_a matter_n as_o short_a as_o i_o can_v both_o of_o my_o suffering_n and_o my_o deliverance_n out_o of_o all_o those_o trouble_n that_o have_v happen_v upon_o i_o in_o the_o year_n 1675_o and_o in_o the_o year_n 1676_o and_o 1677_o and_o in_o the_o year_n of_o my_o life_n 67._o 14._o this_o be_v the_o 5_o part_n of_o the_o act_n of_o john_n reeve_n and_o lodowich_n muggleton_n the_o two_o last_o

15._o and_o wonderful_a revelation_n and_o passage_n and_o act_n that_o be_v write_v in_o these_o five_o part_n that_o i_o may_v leave_v it_o as_o a_o legacy_n for_o the_o age_n to_o come_v upon_o record_n that_o the_o unbelieving_a world_n may_v be_v convince_v when_o i_o be_o turn_v to_o dust_n as_o my_o father_n adam_n be_v that_o i_o be_v slander_v reproach_v belie_v persecute_v imprison_v

for_o there_o be_v no_o time_n to_o the_o dead_a time_n belong_v to_o the_o live_n 18._o and_o this_o i_o know_v that_o as_o the_o 12_o apostle_n in_o the_o resurrection_n shall_v sit_v upon_o
