Subscribed by John Tiffin Thomas Laythes Peter Head Thomas Scott Thomas Fell George Peel The Testimony of Thomas Laythes Concerning Hugh Tickell AS for our dear deceased Friend Hugh Tickell he was one that I had a knowledge of and acquaintance with all-most from my Childhood For when I was a Boy at School we were both tabled in one House and for several Years and in all that time I never heard nor knew as I remember but that he lived and walked as an honest Man amongst Men. And for the time of his Convincement of God's Eternal Truth he was some Years before me convinced so that other Ancient Friends can give a more timely Testimony herein than I can do being conversant with him yet this I know and have to say for him that he was one that did endeavour my Convincement as much if not more than any other both by word and writing But as I have sometime said it was the Lord alone that did perswade my heart to him be the Praise and Glory for ever Amen And after I came to own the way and Truth of God I had a clear Sense of his Spirit we being both of one Meeting for above twenty and six Years time and this is my Testimony for my Friend He was of a deep weighty solid Spirit and had a good Understanding and discerning in the things of God And when he spoke thereof in our little Meeting to which he was a great Strength it was much in the awe dread and fear of the Lord and often in much Brokenness and tenderness of Spirit as I am a living Witness of He was also a great sufferer in his day for bearing a faithful Testimony to the Truth and against Tithes And such was his Love to God and his Truth that I do believe he could have laid down his Life and sealed his Testimony with his Blood if he had been called thereunto And towards the latter part of his time and in his old Age being above 70 Years he grew weak and infirm of Body and near the time of his departure out of the Body for I was much with him then both day and night and when he could but utter few words yet he named me and I felt a near tender Sense upon him of that Love and Unity we often had together in the Spirit of Truth Thomas Laythes The Testimony of Thomas Dockrey Concerning our dear Friend Hugh Tickell of Portinscal who was born in Thorntwhait in the Parish of Crostwhait and County of Cumberland who in his younger Years for Religion had desires to be of the best way and about the fortieth Year of his Age and the latter End of the Year 1653. was convinced of God's Everlasting Truth and way which is cast up and now made known to many People in this Day of God's glorious Power Light and Life that is dawned and broken forth in this Nation and many other Nations Glory and Praise to God for evermore FOR in the Year 1653.
