wickedness shall be destroyed. And let this be read on two of their Sabbaths, which is Sunday.

Written from John Wroe's mouth by William Tillotson.

This prophecy was literally fulfilled in the autumn of the following year, particularly in and near Bradford, numbers of people were seen in the fields gathering blackberries, nuts, nettles, or anything they could eat; some begged grains, and some were starved to death in consequence of commercial distress.

Ashton, 2nd of 10th month, 1824.

THY troubles shall be great before thou leavest this land England; and thou shalt petition me to take thee away, for hell will open its mouth on every side against thee.

And I, the Lord, will cause what the coroner and jury have done at this place (Ashton,) to go round my globe, and I will shame them in the sight of all kings. And I will deliver him (Henry Lees,) from their hands, and I will confound them, until they shall be afraid of meeting you.

A vision of William Cook, dated Gibraltar, 4th of 7th month, 1824.

THIS night I went to bed about eleven o'clock, and during the night I received from the Lord the following vision:

"I beheld, and lo! there was a great calm; nothing moved; the air was very sulphureous, so that the people stood astonished at the stillness of the heavens and the burden that was upon them, expecting that some awful judgment would soon take place; the atmosphere appeared in such an extraordinary way, that the most hardened heart began to dread something.

"I beheld, and lo! in the west appeared a long cloud, stretching towards the east. I then turned myself towards the east, and beheld, and lo! the cloud at the east became fire; the earth began to tremble, the people began to fear and quake. I then addressed them, and told them they should have believed what I told them two months ago; for I had plainly told them these things would take place. Some believed, and some did not.

"I then beheld a man passing from the east unto the west of the place, pronouncing these words, Woe! woe! woe! to the people of the earth for their offences. This man was without a hat; neither had he shoes or stockings on, but a waistcoat, shirt, and breeches; he also had a bucket with a long rope to draw. water with; and as he pronounced the woe he sprinkled the water.

“I beheld, and lo! he came to a place that was in a ruinous state, and there they entered into conversation with him, and the master of the house stole the rope, and hid it, so that the man could not find it when he was to depart. At last a boy came and shewed him where his rope was, which he took, and passed along until he came to a very large pond; and here the people were assembled together, and one of them was determined to drown this man in the pond, but he cried out for help, and asked if there were no Englishmen about him, for they appeared to be all foreigners. I beheld, and the man was saved from the waters, and conquered those that were against him, but not by any violence, for I saw none, only that the man escaped. Here ended the

vision."

Interpretation given to John Wroe; Ashton, 22nd of 10th month, 1824.

THOU hast laid Cook's vision before me, and I, the Lord, answer thee:

"The number of the people, and the stillness of

the air was the evil spirits, which were on the people on the 29th of the 9th month, 1824, at Bradford, and they travelled from the east country to the west country. Some cried, "What is the meaning of these times?" Others said, "There will be a judgment." Others cried, "Destroy him." Thousands of evil spirits were on this people, until the air was darkened, and the heavens gave rain, so that the people could not continue to endure it.

"And the man passing from east to west was my servant, John Wroe, and the same words I put in his mouth, and which he cried in the ears of the people; and he wished my judgments to come, and that himself might fall in the midst of them. But the forty and two months are not up yet.

"The basket which he had contains the bread for my children; the bucket with the rope is to draw water out of the well of redemption, and the words that I give him shall he sprinkle on the people, and it shall bring them to perfection.

"I have given him the line and the plummet, and the net which he shall cast into the sea, and it shall bring forth good and bad; but I will divide them, saith the Lord, and they shall eat the bread and drink the water, but the bad fish shall loathe my bread and water, for it shall be neither meat nor drink to them.

"Now, son of man! throw out thy net again, and thou shalt gather a large number, but more bad than good; then I will cause them to pass the fiery furnace, and those that refuse to eat my bread shall be separated from my sheep.

"And the place which the man (namely, John Wroe,) entered, was Great Horton; and the master of the house was Zaccheus Robinson's son, who entered into conversation with John Wroe, and prevailed on others to invite him into his house, and by that means stole the rope, and thought he had him fast. Cruel treachery was in the young man's heart, but a boy shewed John Wroe up stairs, so that the

people could not see him; and he cried unto me, and I heard him. And the boy told him that he might get out the back way, and up the fields; but the other intended to have had him hunted with such like as himself, and to have drowned him with his words, saying, 'Thou seest what shame and disgrace thou hast brought thyself to, and thou hast no way to escape.' And I delivered him into Moses Elsworth's house, and the young man also went into the house, to snare him in his words."

DIVINE COMMUNICATIONS.

1825.

Ashton, 13th of 4th month, 1825.

THOU shalt go into many nations, kingdoms, and states; for shalt not thou, son of man, be redeemed? For where is he who, when I say, Wilt not thou go, that can resist my word? And the word thou shall sort out the twelve families from the Gentiles, which are the sons of Ephraim and Manasseh, for it has been a stumbling-block since the days of Adam, and Satan has not known it; but if my people will hearken, they shall find it out.

Written from John Wroe's mouth by William Tillotson.

Ashton, 27th of 4th month, 1825.

"SON of man! prophesy, and say, thus saith the Lord, O ye house of the Gentiles, awake! and tremble before your God, and return unto him who created you, that you may have the new name given you, that your name may be changed like Jacob's name; for God will deliver Israel without staff, sword, or any warlike instrument, for the battle is the Lord's.

"Then, O ye house of the Gentiles! gather yourselves together, and that God that answers let him be God:-for if God be only yours, and you have the light, shew it unto your brethren.

"Is this dispute between Esau and Jacob? Thou, Esau, broke thy brother's yoke from off thy neck, when thou destroyed him who was to be king, and thou got a light, and thy light has been glorious; and why hast thou hid thy light under a bushel, and not shewed it to thy brother?
