(70) And they y^t beleiued in him there bodyes came to bee ye temples
of God & Xt & ye holy ghoast: for y^m to dwell in y^m. & walke
in y^m: & all such: was gathered Into ye name of Jesus
whose name was aboue euery name; & there was noe saluation
by any other name vnder ye whole heauen byutt by ye name
of Jesus: & these mett togeather in seuerall dwellinge houses
w^ch was not caled ye temple nor ye Church but there bodyes
was ye temples of God & ye beleiuers was ye Church w^ch. Xt was
ye heade off: soe Xt was not ʌcaled ye heade of an olde house

w^ch was made by mens handes: neither did hee come

                                                with his bloode

to purchase & sanctifye & redeeme ʌ ian bolde house w^ch. they
caled there chuch but ye people: w^ch: hee is ye heade off.

ffor a great deale of worke had I with preists & people
with there olde houseesʌwch they caled there churches w:^ch was made
y^t by mens hands for ye preists had perswaded people y^t it
was ye house of God & ye Apostle saide heeʌXt purchased his
Church with his owne bloode & Xt calls his church: his
Spouse & his bride ye lambes wiffe: soe this title church
& Spouse was not giuen to an olde house butt to his church
y^t was his people & true beleiuers^• & ye Apostle saith whose
house wee are; soe ye people are Gods house & dwellinge:

And after this off a lecture day: I was moued to goe to vlverston
steeplehouse where there was aboundans of professors & preists &
people:

And I went vppe neere to Lampitt whoe was blusteringe on
in his preachinge: & one Jo: Sawrey a Justice of peace came
to mee after Ithe Ld had opned my mouth to speake: & saide
If I woulde speake accordinge to ye scriptures I should speake
& I stranged att him for speakinge soe to mee: And I
tolde him I woulde speake accordinge to ye scriptures & bringe
ye scriptures to proue what I had to say: for I had thin;some
-thinge to speake to Lampitt; ʌ& y^m & then this Sawrey saide
I shoulde not speake contradictinge his owne sayinge

And they that believed in him, their bodies came to be the temples
of God and Christ and the Holy Ghost: for them to dwell in them, and walk
in them: and all such was gathered Into the name of Jesus,
whose name was above every name; and there was no salvation
by any other name under the whole heaven but by the name
of Jesus: and these met together in several dwelling houses,
which was not called ‘the Temple’, nor ‘the Church’: but their bodies
was the temples of God and the believers was the Church, which Christ
was| the head of: so Christ was not called the head of an old house
which was made by men’s hands: neither did he come| to
purchase and sanctify and redeem with his blood an old house which they
called their ‘church’, but the people: which he is the head of.

For a great deal of work had I with priests and people
with their old houses which they called their ‘Churches’ which was made
by men’s hands; for the priests had persuaded people that it
was the house of God; and the Apostle said Christ purchased his
Church with his own blood; and Christ calls his church, his
Spouse and his bride, the Lamb’s wife: so this title ‘church’
and ‘Spouse’ was not given to an old house, but to his church,
that was his people and true believers and the Apostle saith whose
house we are; so ‘the people are God’s house and dwelling’.

And after this of a lecture day: I was moved to go to Ulverston
steeplehouse where there was abundance of professors and priests and
people:

And I went up near to Lampitt who was blustering on
in his preaching: and one John Sawrey, a Justice of Peace, came
to me after the Lord had opened my mouth to speak: and said,
‘If I would speak according to the scriptures I should speak’;
and I stranged at him for speaking so to me. And I
told him I would speak according to the scriptures and bring
the scriptures to prove what I had to say: for I had some
-thing to speak to Lampitt, and them; and then this Sawrey said
‘I should not speak’; contradicting his own saying.
