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.

lest_o you_o die_v in_o your_o sin_n for_o the_o lord_n have_v no_o pleasure_n that_o you_o shall_v die_v in_o your_o sin_n but_o rather_o that_o you_o shall_v turn_v from_o your_o evil_a way_n and_o

will_v teach_v you_o the_o right_a way_n wherein_o dwell_v righteousness_n a_o wise_a man_n will_v first_o seek_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n and_o the_o righteousness_n thereof_o that_o he_o may_v

and_o peace_n in_o christ_n jesus_n than_o you_o must_v come_v to_o the_o light_n wherewith_o you_o be_v enlighten_v therefore_o all_o mind_n the_o light_n of_o god_n in_o you_o which_o shine_v into_o your_o heart_n for_o the_o light_n be_v your_o way_n if_o you_o love_v it_o so_o if_o you_o choose_v to_o follow_v the_o light_n christ_n this_o be_v he_o that_o reveal_v the_o father_n who_o no_o

and_o to_o save_v that_o which_o be_v lose_v so_o here_o be_v the_o way_n of_o the_o lord_n in_o the_o light_n even_o the_o true_a and_o live_a way_n but_o if_o you_o draw_v back_o after_o the_o priest_n you_o have_v reject_v the_o lord_n to_o be_v teach_v of_o the_o lord_n so_o you_o can_v escape_v the_o damnation_n of_o hell_n so_o shall_v never_o witness_v to_o be_v teach_v of_o the_o lord_n in_o the_o measure_n of_o light_n who_o have_v do_v despite_n to_o the_o spirit_n of_o grace_n so_o it_o be_v like_o you_o shall_v never_o know_v god_n salvation_n profess_v what_o you_o can_v in_o word_n of_o know_v he_o or_o his_o salvation_n for_o god_n be_v light_n and_o he_o be_v not_o know_v but_o in_o the_o light_n so_o they_o that_o be_v not_o in_o the_o light_n who_o know_v not_o the_o light_n be_v in_o darkness_n even_o until_o now_o and_o so_o know_v not_o the_o way_n of_o the_o lord_n for_o darkness_n comprehend_v he_o not_o nor_o his_o light_n and_o they_o that_o be_v in_o the_o darkness_n know_v not_o whither_o they_o go_v nor_o at_o what_o they_o stumble_v because_o that_o darkness_n have_v blind_v their_o eye_n therefore_o all_o friend_n and_o neighbour_n you_o that_o have_v know_v i_o after_o the_o flesh_n i_o beseech_v you_o in_o christ_n
so_o god_n which_o be_v the_o way_n where_o christ_n may_v be_v find_v that_o i_o may_v come_v to_o know_v he_o even_o as_o i_o be_o know_v of_o he_o and_o find_v he_o the_o priest_n say_v that_o read_v the_o scripture_n and_o godly_a book_n as_o they_o call_v they_o and_o pray_v and_o follow_v they_o and_o hear_v they_o preach_v that_o this_o be_v the_o way_n where_o christ_n be_v to_o be_v find_v so_o i_o do_v run_v from_o one_o priest_n unto_o another_o to_o see_v if_o haply_o i_o can_v find_v christ_n among_o any_o of_o they_o for_o several_a year_n together_o but_o do_v not_o while_o i_o follow_v the_o priest_n so_o all_o my_o labour_n be_v in_o vain_a i_o spend_v my_o labour_n for_o that_o which_o be_v not_o bread_n and_o my_o strength_n for_o that_o which_o can_v not_o satisfy_v yea_o i_o do_v read_v the_o scripture_n often_o &_o buy_v the_o best_a book_n i_o can_v hear_v of_o and_o read_v they_o and_o pray_v earnest_o always_o but_o do_v not_o obtain_v nor_o prevail_v though_o i_o cry_v and_o weep_v much_o and_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o i_o seek_v unto_o a_o people_n that_o can_v profit_v for_o the_o lord_n in_o a_o way_n where_o he_o be_v not_o to_o be_v find_v in_o the_o way_n of_o the_o ungodly_a for_o god_n hear_v not_o sinner_n and_o the_o prayer_n of_o the_o wicked_a be_v sin_n but_o the_o prayer_n of_o the_o righteoas_n be_v his_o delight_n and_o while_o i_o remain_v servant_n to_o sin_n the_o lord_n do_v not_o regard_v my_o prayer_n for_o it_o be_v his_o own_o that_o praise_v he_o unto_o who_o his_o ear_n be_v open_v alway_n which_o he_o hear_v and_o have_v regard_n unto_o so_o i_o see_v that_o the_o priest_n be_v liar_n who_o will_v be_v teacher_n of_o other_o and_o yet_o know_n not_o what_o they_o say_v nor_o whereof_o they_o affirm_v who_o will_v persuade_v you_o to_o follow_v they_o and_o to_o uphold_v they_o in_o their_o covetous_a practice_n and_o tell_v people_n that_o hear_v they_o be_v the_o right_a way_n and_o observe_v their_o tradition_n and_o custom_n be_v the_o right_a way_n and_o believe_v in_o a_o christ_n without_o you_o and_o look_v for_o a_o christ_n without_o you_o be_v the_o right_a way_n so_o be_v those_o which_o christ_n speak_v of_o shall_v come_v in_o the_o last_o day_n say_v lo_o here_o be_v christ_n and_o lo_o there_o be_v christ_n but_o say_v he_o believe_v they_o n●r_n nor_o go_v not_o after_o they_o for_o friend_n that_o which_o may_v be_v know_v of_o god_n be_v manifest_a in_o you_o so_o till_o you_o return_v to_o that_o of_o god_n in_o you_o the_o light_n you_o be_v in_o the_o darkness_n out_o of_o the_o good_a way_n in_o a_o evil_a way_n in_o a_o way_n that_o be_v not_o good_a whatsoever_o you_o and_o your_o priest_n may_v say_v of_o it_o neighbour_n and_o friend_n i_o speak_v by_o experience_n what_o i_o have_v see_v and_o know_v that_o speak_v i_o unto_o you_o in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n that_o you_o may_v take_v warning_n betimes_o for_o there_o be_v no_o other_o way_n to_o know_v christ_n but_o in_o the_o light_n wherewith_o you_o be_v enlighten_v so_o if_o you_o will_v own_v the_o right_a way_n where_o god_n dwell_v &_o where_o he_o be_v to_o be_v find_v you_o must_v then_o return_v in_o to_o the_o light_n to_o that_o which_o may_v be_v know_v of_o god_n in_o you_o and_o be_v in_o love_n with_o the_o light_n for_o god_n be_v light_a he_o

and_o yet_o you_o be_v believe_v it_o and_o receive_v it_o so_o what_o be_v this_o to_o you_o for_o you_o to_o say_v christ_n save_v his_o people_n from_o their_o sin_n for_o you_o bear_v witness_n against_o yourselves_o that_o he_o be_v not_o your_o saviour_n who_o be_v yet_o in_o your_o sin_n for_o you_o deny_v the_o work_n of_o god_n and_o resist_v it_o in_o yourselves_o and_o deny_v the_o
