Are you as buff as a guy with his decapitated head on top of a pile of ice?

CHAPTER VI. A New Era Begins
1651-1652.
As we travelled we came near a very great hill, called Pendle Hill, and I was
moved of the Lord to go up to the top of it; which I did with difficulty, it was
so very steep and high. When I was come to the top, I saw the sea bordering upon
Lancashire. 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 myself, having eaten or drunk but
little for several days before.[69]
At night we came to an inn, and declared truth to the man of the house, and
wrote 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 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 to the Lord; and the place that
I saw them in was about Wensleydale and Sedbergh.[70]
The next day we travelled on, and at night got a little fern or bracken to put
under us, and lay upon a common. Next morning we reached a town, where Richard
Farnsworth[71] parted from me; and then I travelled alone again. I came up
Wensleydale, and at the market-town in that Dale, there was a lecture on the
market-day. I went into the steeple-house; and after the priest had done I
proclaimed the day of the Lord to the priest and people, warning them to turn
from darkness to the Light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they
might come to know God and Christ aright, and to receive His teaching, who
teacheth freely. Largely and freely did I declare the Word of life unto them,
and had not much persecution there.
Afterwards I passed up the Dales, warning people to fear God, and preaching the
everlasting gospel to them. In my way I came to a great house, where was a
schoolmaster; and they got me into the house. I asked them questions about their
religion and worship; and afterwards I declared the truth to them. They had me
into a parlour, and locked me in, pretending that I was a young man that was
mad, and had run away from my relations; and that they would keep me till they
could send to them. But I soon convinced them of their mistake, and they let me
forth, and would have had me to stay; but I was not to stay there.
Then having exhorted them to repentance, and directed them to the Light of
Christ Jesus, that through it they might come unto Him and be saved, I passed
from them, and came in the night to a little ale-house on a common, where there
was a company of rude fellows drinking. Because I would not drink with them,
they struck me with their clubs; but I reproved them, and brought them to be
somewhat cooler; and then I walked out of the house upon the common in the
night.
After some time one of these drunken fellows came out, and would have come close
up to me, pretending to whisper to me; but I perceived he had a knife; and
therefore I kept off him, and bade him repent, and fear God. So the Lord by His
power preserved me from this wicked man; and he went into the house again. The
next morning I went on through other Dales, warning and exhorting people
everywhere as I passed, to repent and turn to the Lord: and several were
convinced. At one house that I came to, the man of the house (whom I afterwards
found to be a kinsman of John Blakelin's) would have given me money, but I would
not receive it.
The next day I went to a meeting at Justice Benson's, where I met a people that
were separated from the public worship. This was the place I had seen, where a
people came forth in white raiment. A large meeting it was, and the people were
generally convinced; and they continue still a large meeting of Friends near
Sedbergh; which was then first gathered through my ministry in the name of
Jesus.
In the same week there was a great fair, at which servants used to be hired; and
I declared the day of the Lord through the fair. After I had done so, I went
into the steeple-house yard, and many of the people of the fair came thither to
me, and abundance of priests and professors. There I declared the everlasting
truth of the Lord and the Word of life for several hours, showing that the Lord
was come to teach His people Himself, and to bring them off from all the world's
ways and teachers, to Christ, the true teacher, and the true way to God. I laid
open their teachers, showing that they were like them that were of old condemned
by the prophets, and by Christ, and by the apostles. I exhorted the people to
come off from the temples made with hands; and wait to receive the Spirit of the
Lord, that they might know themselves to be the temples of God.
Not one of the priests had power to open his mouth against what I declared: but
at last a captain said, "Why will you not go into the church? this is not a fit
place to preach in." I told him I denied their church. Then stood up Francis
Howgill, who was preacher to a congregation. He had not seen me before; yet he
undertook to answer that captain; and he soon put him to silence. Then said
Francis Howgill of me, "This man speaks with authority, and not as the scribes."
After this, I opened to the people that that ground and house were no holier
than another place; and that the house is not the Church, but the people, of
whom Christ is the head. After awhile the priests came up to me, and I warned
them to repent. One of them said I was mad; so they turned away. But many were
convinced there that day, who were glad to hear the truth declared, and received
it with joy. Amongst these was Captain Ward, who received the truth in the love of it,
and lived and died in it. |
