And after I had travailed up and down in those countries, and
had great meetings, I came to Swarthmoor again.

And after I had visited Friends a while in those parts,
I heard of a great meeting of priests at Ulverston at a lecture day, and
went down, and went into the steeplehouse in the dread and power of the
Lord; and when the priest had done, I spoke amongst them the word of the
Lord, which was as a hammer and a fire amongst them; and though Lampitt
had been at variance with most of the priests before, yet against the truth
he and| they all joined together, and the mighty power of the Lord was so
over all, that Priest Bennett said the steeplehouse shook, and he
was afraid, and trembled, and thought that the steeplehouse would fall on his head, and went his ways out for
fear, speaking a few confused words: and the Lords power was over them all,
though there was a many priests; and they had no power as yet to
persecute.

And after, I came up to Swarthmoor, and there came up 4 or 5 priests, and
I asked them, ‘Whether any of them could say they ever had a word from
the Lord to go and speak to such or such a people’; and none of them durst
say | so; but one of them burst out into a passion, and said, ‘He could
speak his experiences as well as I’; but I told him, ‘Experience
