oke was the truth, but the priests were in a rage. And
about two weeks after James Nayler and Richard Farnsworth followed him
and enquired him out, till they came to Swarthmoor, and there stayed
awhile with me at our house, and did me much good; for I was under
great heaviness and judgment. But the power of the Lord entered upon
me within about two weeks that he came, and about three weeks end my
husband came home; and many were in a mighty rage, and a deal of the
captains and great ones of the country went to meet my then husband as
