wherein the mighty power of God was seen in his support May 5 1647. BEtween three and four of the clock in the morning there was a light did shine in my chamber my thoughts being fixt on a place of Scripture concerning the love of God through Christ to the Saints and casting mine eye aside I saw a round ball of fire and from thence did stream forth great streams of light and when I saw it my flesh did tremble and in the light there did speak a Voice to me and said Fear not it is the voice of Peace that speaketh to thee and it saith The peace of him is at hand And the 22 day it came again in like manner and spake the same words and the 23 day it came again and spake in like manner adding withall that The Deceiver of Nations was gone forth and had deceived many but now the everlasting Gospel of Jesus Christ is to be preached then the Deceiver of Nations shall deceive them no more and said that I should have a message to declare to the sons of men and that I should preach the everlasting Gospel to the people to bid them repent And the 23 day in the evening there did appear a glimmering light not as it did before and the Lord had drawn forth my spirit to speak to him by prayer that the Truth might appear to mee and so be able to judge whether it were of God or not that by my speaking God might not be dishonoured nor the Truth suffer but that it might appear to the world whether it were of God or of the Divell and the Lord did satisfie me in it that it was from the Divell and the Lord gave me courage to speak to it twice And this evening it said to me that I must go to John Mowlin and he should breathe on me and I should be filled with the holy Spirit And I answered that I had not faith to believe that And the Voice said thou shalt beleeve it and that John Mowlin and I were set apart to preach the everlasting Gospel to all men And then I spake to it and said What is that everlasting Gospel And hee said To bid men repent I did answer that in Scripture I saw no such Gospel but Jesus Christ is the substance of the everlasting Gospel to the Saints And on the 24 day in the morning it came in the likenesse of the Moon and the Voice spake to me again and said that as Paul and Barnabas were set apart for the work of the Lord so were John Mowlin and I to preach this everlasting Gospel to all men where we do come And I did answer again that that was not the everlasting Gospel that was to be preached And the Voice said What faith hast thou John Mowlin doth believe it Then spake I to it on this wise Shall I say the Vision of the Lord and the Voice of the Lord in the vision spake those things to me And the answer of the Voice to me was Say not the Vision of the Lord nor the Voice of the Lord in the vision but say A Vision did appear and a Voice spake these things to thee This answer maketh it appear to me that it was not of God The 26 day in the evening it did appear to mee in a strange form and the Lord gave me courage to behold it and to speak to it again and the Voice said unto mee Why dost thou not go to John Mowlin And I said What to do And the Voice said Thou hast been shewed to him in a Vision and when thou comest to him he will know thee and pray with thee and breathe in thee the holy Spirit and hee shall baptize thee with water and thou shalt have two witnesses to witnesse the truth of it to the world And the 27 day in the night I had something revealed to me from the Lord in a Dream That in the morning I should see him that had deceived John Mowlin in the shape of a man and said When thou seest him thou shalt not be affraid for thou shalt be as Mount Sion which cannot be shaken for I have called thee by name and he shall entise thee with money but take it not For my grace is sufficient for thee and my presence shall go before thee I am thy God and will not faile thee And in the morning it appeared to me in the likenesse of a Gentleman very compleat in his habit with a fair countenance who said to me Why dost thou not go to John Mowlin And I said What to do And hee said To be filled with the holy Ghost and to be baptized of him that thou mayst go forth and preach the everlasting Gospel to bid men Repent And he did then offer me gold and silver and said to me This will help to bear thy charges for thou art a very poor man and further said Take it and appoint me any place and keep the day and hour and thou shalt not want all thy life And I said I need it not for the grace of God is sufficient for me And he said Why dost thou not believe my sayings There be six with John Mowlin that do believe my sayings And so he went away Thus I even see what is of God shall stand Thomas Lipeat FINIS
