self; for I never had been in his company alone; but what I had against him, I would tell him, if Mr. Wills would quit the room. Mr. Wills asked why he must not know? Itold him I would not tell before him. Mr. Wills rose up and went out of the room. I then told Sanderson of his behaviour with Mrs. Wills, of what I had seen and heard myself; and how he had persuaded her never to mind her husband, and of his behaviour with her daughters; and what they had told me themselves, which they then denied, and the mother also; and said I wanted to cut their throats. But Polly said she would tell her father of what I said of Sanderson's behaviour to her mother; but they said she should not. So I went out of the house and left them; and was informed afterwards that they told Wills all I had against him was the lie that he had sworn; because he had saluted me once, which they all remembered; but I never mentioned it to him; because a religious man might have done that, as it was after he had returned from some journey, and he saluted all the women in the house, before he went to bed. But this was the forged story they made up to Wills; and from that time Mrs. Wills began to seck all the revenge she could against me; and to accomplish her designs pretended jealousy, to make her husband join with her, which he did, as you have seen in the former part of the history. But one thing more I must pen: the beginning of Sanderson's coming to Wills's, he used to terrify all the people when he was in prayer; and was often telling what wondrous miracles he had wrought by prayer; and that he had, at a meeting, made the whole society lie stiff upon the floor, till he had got the evil spirits out of them; and I remember myself, once at a class meeting, a religious, good man shrieked out in such a manner as though he had sent an evil spirit into him; but I cannot say he ever had any power over me: only I used to think the room was full of spirits, when he was in prayer: and he was so haunted by night, that he never

( 81 )

could sleep in a room by himself; but the excuse he made was, that his wife came every night to trouble him; therefore he had wakers or some one to sleep in the room with him. This, before I saw his wretched conduct, threw my mind in a confusion about him; and made me earnest in prayer, that I might know by what spirit he did all these miracles. To which I was answered, I should take the Bible in my hand and open it; which I did, and it was in the 19th chapter. of the Revelations, 20th verse. I cast my eyes on-" The beast was taken, and with him the false prophet, that worked miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image; these both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone." I then was answered, he was the false prophet, which did his miracles wrought by devils; for that was the meaning of the beast. But Sanderson affirmed that his miracles were from the Lord, who gave him power to destroy all his enemies!! For he said there never was a man so highly favoured of God as he was and he would not thank God to make him any thing, if he would not make him greater than any man upon earth, and give him power above all men. I told him, it was happy for him, if the Lord had given him that power, and favoured him. above all men upon earth; but, on the contrary, if it was not so, his end would be fatal in hell. At which he laughed, and said, "Yes, I will take care to get a good warm corner there." This answer shocked me; and I never could bear him afterwards. But the servants in the house were afraid of him; as they heard of the death of a man at Plymouth, that had reproved Sanderson's conduct; and when Sanderson heard he was dead, he said he had fasted and prayed three days and three nights, that the Lord would take vengeance on that man, and send him to eternity. This made Wills's fa

mily and servants afraid of him, and said they would not speak against him for the world, fearing he would send them to eternity. But I had no fears of that sort; for it heightened my malice and hatred against him; because I always felt in my own heart to pray for my enemies, that the Lord would convince them and turn their hearts, before they went to eternity. Were I to go through all Sanderson's wonders and miracles that he told of, and all the wretched deeds that he did, I might fill many sheets of paper for not half the history of Wills's family and Sanderson is penned." Now I shall answer thee this history of Sanderson. He is, as I told thee, the false prophet that did all these miracles wrought by devils; and I have already told thee how he wrought them. And now let men read that chapter through, and judge for themselves.-For that reason I sent thee to Wills's house; for that reason I kept thee in Wills's house till Sanderson appeared, that thou mightest see his conduct with thy own eyes, and hear his words with thy own ears; for how canst thou affirm as truth the words of another."

A Continuation of Wills and Sanderson. Wednesday Evening, July 25th, 1804.

"Now I will tell thee why I kept silence and said nothing till thou hadst been to sleep: be-, cause the history thou hast here penned, though they wearied thee out of thy life, and made thee as forgotten, like a dream, that they should hear no more of it; but know, I told thee, as soon as thy Trial was over, thou shouldest write thy history of Wills and Sanderson, and the history of thy whole life, for all should go in print. Thou then didst obey in writing; but thy friends persuaded thee out of it, that it was not the Lord's command; but as My time was not come to have it printed, I kept silence, and

( 83 )

said no more unto thee, so thou destroyedst the writings thou hadst taken so much pains to pen; but when I visited thee in 1792, I visited thee with power, as well as with words; and though thy friends made the same effort to prevent thy going on, as they had before, to publish to the world, yet, now all was vain, all was fruitless, for my appointed time

was come

And now in verse I shall begin,
To echo back the lines to men:
From the False Prophet I'll appear,
That with the Beast I did compare;
Because the beast was in the man,
He boasted of wonders from ME come,
Then sure a prophet he must be,
If he was favour'd as he said,
Above all men, so high of God,
To govern with my powerful rod.
But from MYSELF, I'll answer here,
Favour'd by ME, he never were;
From Satan's arts came all his skill,
And all his wonders came from hell;
So with the beast thou didst first contend,
Or the false prophet in the man;
And thy false friends, that bore his mark,
Join'd boldly with him in the dark,
Until they brought thy Trial on.
The Shepherd acted like the man,
But thou thyself sued for the law-
The Type is deep, you all must know,
Because I told thee of the end,
Great judgments on them I should send;
But what is past they don't discern,
Nor in what manner I do warn ;
But now I'll bring the judgments on,
And they shall know the time is come
That earths foundation I shall shake,
And make their stubborn hearts to break,
If they do not repent in haste.
I tell thee there's no time to waste;
For I'm the Judge that shall appear:
The Great Assize for all draws near-
And now my Counsellors all shall see,
Like Roberts' words in men shall be,
Because thy cause they will defend.
The shadow first foretells the end,
Fecause the jury at the fir-t

Granted thee thy Bill, and own'd it just;

And when thy Trial did appear,

They cast thy foe and thee did clear;

[ocr errors]

So Wills the Trial then he lost,

Though his false witness proud did boast
That she would make thee black as hell,
As from his rage, her rage did swell.
But all her rage did swell in vain,
And all the arts they then could gain
Could never free her master there;
And pale as death he did appear,
To hear the words to him thou spoke
Of the false witness he had got,
Which then the jury did condemn,
And so it was by every man.

His Counsellor was fierce at first:
Mark, with what fury he did burst,
To have the witnesses appear,
And mock'd all thy religion there;
And so he went to mock the whole,
To bring destruction on them all.

This was the Counsellor Wills had plac'd,
So perfect like this fallen race,
To mock religion at the first,
And after that have perjury burst,
Because the witness he did try
By every word to make them lie;
And to his words they both did swear,
Thinking to gain the Trial there;
Whilst thou stood singly there alone,
And to thy Counsellor didst complain."

So here we ended, Wednesday, July 25, 1804.

Thursday, July 26, 1804.

This morning after eight o'clock Joanna went to sleep, and dreamt she was in the most beautiful street that ever was seen, and the light was so beautiful, that she cannot describe it; it was neither like day-light, nor like moon-light; but an uncommon light, such a one as she never saw before, brighter than day-light, and appeared beautiful." I thought I looked forward, and I looked backwards, and I saw the beauty of the light each way, sparkling like diamonds. I thought I was walking in the street, and some one with ne; I desired them to take notice of the light, that it was not daylight, because it was quite dark the other side of the street. I took notice of the pave
