(62) hee was soe full of filth
ffor hee saide hee was aboue John: & made as though: hee knew
all thinges but I tolde him howe y^t death reigned from Adam
to Moses & hee was vnder y.^t death & knew not Moses: for Moses
saw ye paradice of God & soe hee neither knew Moses nor ye prophet[ts]
nor John: for y^t wcrooked nature: stoode in him & ye rough
& ye mountaine of sins & corruptions:
And ye way was not prepared in him for ye Ld soe hee confest
hee had beene vnder a crosse in thinges but now hee coulde singe
psalmes: & doe any thinge; & I tolde him now hee coulde see
a theife & Join hande in hande with him: & hee coulde not
* preach moses: nor ye prophetts nor Xt Jnor John: except hee was
in ye same Spiritt as they was in:
And soe Margarett fell had beene abroade & att night when shee
came home: her children tolde her y^t preist Lampitt & I dis=
agreed: & Itt strucke somethinge att her because shee was in
a profession with him: though hee hidd his dirty actions from
them: soe att night wee had a great deal of reasoninge & I
declared ye truth to shee & her family:

he was so full of filth.
For he said he was above John: and made as though he knew
all things; but I told him how that death reigned from Adam
to Moses, and he was under that death and knew not Moses: for Moses
saw the paradise of God, and so he neither knew Moses nor the prophets nor John, for that crooked nature stood in him and the rough
and the mountain of sins and corruptions.
And the way was not prepared in him for the Lord, so he confessed
he had been under a cross in things but now he could sing
Psalms, and doe any thing; and I told him now he could see
a thief and join hand in hand with him; and he could not
preach Moses, nor the prophets, nor Christ, nor John, except he was
in the same Spirit as they was in.
And so Margaret Fell had been abroad, and at night when she
came home, her children told her that priest Lampitt and I dis-
agreed; and it struck something at her because she was in
a profession with him, though he hid his dirty actions from
them; so at night we had a great deal of reasoning, and I
declared the truth to she and her family.

And ye next day lampitt came againe & ʌI had a great deale

                  with him

of discourse ʌ before Margarett fell: whoe soone then discerned ye

preist cleerely: & a conuincement came vpon her & her family
of ye Lds truth: & on ye first there was a fast humiliation day

shortly after     within a day or two

    ʌkept att Vluerston; & m: ff: askt mee to goe to ye steeplehouse

                                          I must doe as I am ordered of ye Lorde

with her: for shee was not wholely come off: & I saide ʌ wee
butt I walked in ye feilds & then ye worde of ye Lorde came

                                                                  when I came

to mee to goe to ye steeplehouse after y.^m & ʌ ye preist lampitt
                        singinge with his people
was blustering on xx his preachinge & his spiritt & his stuffe

was soe foule yt I was moued of ye Ld to speake to him & |ye people:
after they had donne singinge: & ye worde of ye Lorde was to y^m:

And the next day Lampitt came again and I had a great deal
of discourse with him before Margaret Fell, who soon then discerned the
priest clearly; and a convincement came upon her and her family
of the Lord’s truth; and there was a humiliation day
shortly after within a day or two kept at Ulverston, and Margaret Fell
asked me to go to the steeplehouse with her (for she was not wholly
come off) and I said, ‘I must do as I am ordered of the Lord’;
but I walked in the fields, and then the word of the Lord came
to me to go to the steeplehouse after them; and when I came the priest
Lampitt was singing with his people and his spirit and his stuff was so foul that I was moved of the Lord to speak to him and the people, after they had done singing, and the word of the Lord was to them:

hee was not a Jew y^t: is one outwarde: butt hee was a Jew y^t: is one
inwarde | whose praise was not of man but of God: & howe y^t God was come
to teach| his people by his spiritt & to bringe y.^m off all there ʌolde
ways religions churches & | worshipps; for all there religions & worshippes & ways was but talkeinge of others | mens words: but they was out

                                            yt gaue ym foorth

of ye life & spiritt yt they was in: ʌ & one Justice Sawrey
cryed take him away: & Judge ffells wife saide to y:^e officers lett him
alone why | may not hee speake as well as any other: & Lampitt saide
forIn decepte lett him speake| & soe att last: y^e when I had
declared a pretty while y:^e constable tooke putt mee out

‘He was not a Jew that: is one outward: but he was a Jew that is
one inward whose praise was not of man but of God’ [Rom 2: 28-9]: and how that God was come to teach his people by his spirit, and to bring them off all their old ways, religions, churches, and worships; for all their religions and worships and ways was but talking of others men’s words, but they was out of the life and spirit that they was in, that gave them forth. And one Justice Sawrey cried, ‘Take him away’; and Judge Fell’s wife said to the officers, ‘Let him alone: why may not he speak as well as any other?’ and Lampitt said, in deceit, ‘Let him speak’; and so at last, when I had declared a pretty while, the constable put me out.
