And ye way was not prepared in him for ye Ld soe hee confest

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:

declared ye truth to shee & 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

they might come out of their outward Ordinances and traditions of
men to y:^e light of Christ Jesus, which hee had enlightned them;







and they plucked mee out of their steeplehouse,
