[page 71] [ At Bradford] ... the Word of the Lord came to me, saying;
Eat not the Bread of such, as have an Evil Eye. Immediately I
arose for the Table, and ate nothing: The Woman of the House
was a Baptist. So after I had exhorted the Family, To turn to the
Lord Jesus Christ, and hearken to his Teachings in their own hearts, We
departed thence.

     And as we travelled through the Country, preaching Repentance
to the People, we came to a Market-town on the Market-day; and
there was a Lecture there that Day: And I went into the Steeple-
house, where were many Priests, and Professors, and People. The
Priest, that preached, took for his Text those Words of Jeremiah,
Chap. 5. ver 31. My People love to have it so: Leaving out the
foregoing Words, viz. The Prophets prophesy falsly, and the Priests
bear Rule by their Means. So I shewed the People his Deceit; and
directed them to Christ, the true Teacher within; declaring unto
them, that God was come to Teach his People himself, and to bring
them off from all the World’s Teachers and Hirelings; that they
might come to receive freely from him. Then warning them of the
Day of the Lord, that was coming upon all Flesh, I passed from thence
without much Opposition.

=tion : & att night wee came to a Country house:
& there was noe alehouse neere: but they desired vs
to stay all night where wee had a good seruice there

At Night we came to a Country-house; and there was no Ale-house
near. They desired us to stay there all Night; which we did, and
had good Service for the Lord, declaring his Truth amongst them.

[page 72]

The next Day we passed on: For the Lord had said unto me; If
but one Man or Woman were Raised up by his Power, to stand and live in
the same Spirit, that the Prophets and Apostles were in, who gave forth
the Scriptures, that Man or Woman should shake all the Country in
their Profession for Ten Miles round.
