him in newness of life that in me his workmanship might appear to the confounding of the heathen who know him not he by his power kept me and gave me strength to bear his Cross and despise the shame so that neither foul words nor faire words could cause me to deny what God by his grace had wrought in my heart but by his power he carryed me above the raging waves of the tempestuous sea so that I knew that he that was in me was greater than he that is in the world yea and out of my kinred and acquaintance I came and became a stranger to them that loved not the truth yea and presently I came to see the Priests of the world by their fruits and the fruits of their Ministry which was cursed from God and therefore profited not the people at all but when the Lord by his power had changed and converted my heart unto himself the Priests became mine enemies and said I was deluded whenas before when I lived in the vain conversation of the world they took no notice of me either to reprove me or instruct me but as they went on in a customary way for again and lucre speaking against sin in the generall but not reproving it in particular but was as deep in it in their lives as others and so what they preached down with their tongues they upheld in their lives and countenanced in their conversations and so from them I turned whom I saw had gotten a form but denyed the life and power and I sought for a people with whom I might have union and there was a people with whom I found union a few miles from the Town where I lived whom the Lord was a gathering out of the dark world to sit down together and wait upon his name but we was the objects and reproach of the countrey and was accounted as the off-scourings of the world but in all this we saw the Scriptures fulfilled and that we might thus suffer if we would live godly in Christ Jesus 2 Tim. 3.12 and here was our confidence and strength which carryed us above our sufferings as knowing it greater riches to suffer affliction with the people of God than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season and about this time I was about 15 years of age afterwards I was called forth to visit some friends in the North part of England with whom I had union in spirit before I saw their faces and afterwards I returned back to my outward dwelling place and remained in my outward calling and the Lord all this time stil more and more perfecting and encreasing his work in my heart which by his power he had begun in me by his pure power bringing forth his truth in me and making known his wil unto me until by his power he opened my mouth to declare his truth in the world stil I continued in my outward calling and also in the work of the Lord as not being called far from my dwelling place and when I was betwixt 17. and 18. years of age I was moved in my spirit to go to a place about fifteen miles from my outward dwelling place southward amongst a people to whom the Lord was making known his truth not knowing when I went out of going farther than that place but when I was there I was moved of the Lord to come on to Cambridge and in obedience unto the Lord I came to see what he had to do for me not knowing one soot of the way but as I was directed neither knowing when I came there where to be received but had heard before of two of my friends that was there whipped caused by the Mayor that then was onely for declaring the truth as they past through the town against the deceipt thereof neither did I know but it might be my portion also when I came there but without conferring with flesh and blood I passed on my journey and he that called me forth went along with me and did direct me and when I came there I found these that was worthy that received me and also I found a friend whom the corrupt Rulers had put in prison for the same testimony which I also was sent to declare and before I had continued there the space of fourteen nights VVilliam Pickering the Mayor of Cambridge committed me to Prison for publishing two Papers the one against the corruption of the Magistrates and the other against the corruption of the Priests at the time of their commencement as they call it and there they kept me in Prison the space of two Sessions and tossed me from Prison to Dungeon and had nothing to lay against me whereby to prove the breach of any Law but when I came to the last Sessions they called a Jury to prove the Papers to be scandalous and seditious Papers and they was nigh two hours about them but could not prove it but came and said that they found nothing but that the Papers was mine which I had before owned in the open Court and there was my name to them to testifie the same and so they was crossed in their intentions and their plots came to nought then they committed me back to Prison again and after the space of three dayes they sent me away with a Passe under the name of a Rogue yet durst not give me the Law which belongs to Rogues but had me away with Clubs and Staves and I could not see the Pass until I was three miles out of the town where I lodged that night and the next day there came a Justice of peace from Cambridge who knowing me to be innocent of what was laid to my charge so he witnessed the Passe to be false and took it back to Cambridge and so I was set free And not long after I went to Cambridge again and went abroad preaching and declaring the truth freely in the Countries about and many I found that received the truth gladly but more enemies yet nevertheless Truth spread and conquered over its enemies there I continued labouring in the work of the Lord about the space of halfe a year in the Countries about Cambridge and from thence I was moved of the Lord to come into Essex where I heard of the people that was seeking the Lord and when I came there I found those that were worthy who received the truth gladly and there I continued freely declaring and preaching the truth from place to place sometimes in the Synagogues and was haled out by the Priests party that the Scripture might be fulfilled upon that Generation yet nevertheless I continued in constant preaching of the word to the consciences of the people freely and publickly in severall plains of the Countrey notwithstanding much opposition both of Priests people and professors and much did the truth prevail in the hearts of people to the glory of God the father of truth which did make glad the hearts of many who
