(53) And if they did owne God & Xt & his prophetts
& Apostles: they must owne him or her:
ffor all people had ye scriptures but was not in yt
same light & powr ʌ& spiritt yt they was in yt gaue forth ye
scriptures & soe they neither knew God nor Xt nor ye
prophetts nor ye Apostles nor y^e scriptures neither had they
Vnity one with another: beinge out of ye power & spiritt of God
And soe wee passed on warninge people as wee mett y^m
of ye day of ye Lorde yt was Comeinge vpon y:^m.

[page 72 continued]

For People had the Scriptures, but were not in that same Light, and Power, and Spirit, which they were in, that gave forth the Scriptures: and so they neither knew God, nor Christ, nor the Scriptures aright; nor had they Unity one with another, being out of the Power and Spirit of God. There-fore as we passed along, we Warned all People, where-ever we met them, of the Day of the Lord, that was coming upon them.

& as | wee went I spÿed a great high hill ʌcaled pendle hill
& I went on ye toppe of it with much adoe Itt
was soe steepe: butt I was moued of ye Lorde to
goe atoppe of it : & when I came a toppe of it
I saw Lancasheere sea: & there a toppe of the
hill I was moued to sounde ye day of ye Lorde

     As we travelled on, we came near a very great and high Hill,
called Pendle-hill, and I was moved of the Lord, to go up to the Top of
it; which I did with much ado, it was so very Steep and High.
When I was come to the Top of this Hill, I saw the Sea bordering
upon Lancashire:

& ye Lorde lett mee see a toppe of ye hill In
what places hee had a great people: & soe one
ye hills syde I founde a springe of water & refresht
my selfe for I had eaten litle & drunk litle for
seuerall days:

            And from the Top of this Hill the Lord let me see,
in what Places he had a Great People to be gathered. As I went
down, I found a Spring of Water in the Side of the Hill, with which
I refreshed my self; having eaten or drunk but little in several Days
before.

And soe att night wee Came to an Inn & declarede
much to ye man of ye house & writt a paper to ye
preists & proffessors Concerneinge ye day of ye Lorde
& how God & Xt was Come to teach people
himselfe by his powr & spiritt & to bringe ym
off all ye worlds ways & teachers, to his owne ʌfree teachinge
whoe had bought y:^m & was there Saviour:
And ye man of ye housse did spreade ye paper vppe & downe & was
mightily affected with truth:
And ye Ld opned to mee at y:^t place: & lett mee see a
great people in white-raiment by a riuers syde Comeinge

At Night we came to an Inn, and declared Truth to the Man of
the House, and writ a Paper to the Priests and Professors, declaring
the Day of the Lord, and that Christ was come to teach People himself, by his Power and Spirit in their Hearts, and to bring People off from all the World's Ways and Teachers, to his own free Teaching,
who had bought them, and was the Saviour of all them, that believed in him.
                The Man of the House spread the Paper abroad, and
was himself mightily affected with the Truth. Here the Lord opened
unto me, and let me see a Great People in white Raiment by a River-side,
coming
