arm was by Brown's healing salve; for perfect so they are trying now to heal the nation to their utter ruin and destruction; and if they do not repent of their fornications, I shall destroy them all; for they are healing the souls of men by their lying wonders, to say the root of evil must never be drawn out and destroyed, but

Held up as it has always been,

But now's the time I say with Deem:
Their Healing Plaister will not do,
Though that's the way they write to you,
To heal your every wound the same;
And so
soon your hearts they'll set on flame,
Worse than thy shoulder did appear
So of their Healing Salve take care;
But say the evil out you'll draw;
The root of evil you do know
Is gathering fast, and it must break-
The root of evil now I speak
Causes all the rottenness within;
And now like Brown you do begin
To heal him up like George's Chair *,
That he may set and rankle there.
And as the Shepherds now are come,
To bring the Healing Salve to man;
The Corner Chair from them to move,
The arts of Satan they do love;
To let them set within their breasts,
Then soon they'll find his sting to burst,
And his adultery to appear,

That with the Dream I'll now compare;
For like that woman is your land,
They are all defil'd as now they stand;
Just like that woman then with child,
By Satan's arts mankind is foil'd;
For he has got them in a snare
To adulterate my Bible here;
That he may dig the pit for all,
And so the nation he'd make fall,
If I'd not warn'd thee by the Dream,
When in the bed thou see'st ME plain.
To say the evil fruit must fall,
And therefore now I tell you all,

The evil fruit I'll take away,

And shew the grave where it doth lay,

That Satan's digging now for man,

Because at first he laid his plan,

George's Chair is a man at Leeds, who said he would give the

-Devil a corner chair in his heart to keep him at his case.

( 51 )

A simple woman to defile,

And so that way she was with child,
That did a murderer then become,
He digg'd a grave then deep for man;
And now he's digging it again,
Thinking the woman shall be slain,
And all her offspring for to die-
Now my Express I bid it fly,
Because 'twas I that work'd in she,
And so the same I work'd in thee;
For this Express must hasty go,
And mark what Foley he did do
When Carpenter was griev'd the same,
That night he set their hearts in flame,
With love and gratitude to turn,

And so the same their hearts shall burn,
In love and gratitude to ME
When my Express they all do see,
That I'm the Lord that wakes so soon,
To cast the Serpent in her room,
And now the Woman I will free,
Though she's in grief, bow'd down by ME;
Because for man her heart does feel,
But know, that I am in her still;
Or else this love would not appear,
Their every sufferings for to share-
And now in haste this all must go,
For Townley's heart I work'd it so,
To have the letter go with speed,
I knew thy heart how it did bleed,
To think thy friends were compass'd round
With mysteries that could not be found,
By any wisdom was in them;

For now the crooked paths are come,
That they themselves cannot make straight,
Before I bring the truth to light."
So now the words I'll end then here,
Another day I shall appear,
The every mystery to explain,
Why the Express must come to men,
That are the servants of the Lord,
Unhidden lies my written word,
That thou another day shalt find,
How my Express comes to mankind.

So end the letter, send it hastily, they must not stop day nor night, till the letter comes to Foley's hand."

This Letter was sent off by express, between three and four o'clock, Saturday, June 23, 1804.

MISS TOWNLEY TO MR. SHARP.

Saturday Afternoon, June 23d, 1804.

This morning, when Joanna awoke, she asked Mrs. Underwood, if she heard any one call Tom? Underwood said no. Joanna said, it called aloud and waked her. She then told her dreams, which are in the other letter; she being told the night before, that the Lord would clear up wondrous mysteries this day, and feeling no Power of the Spirit within her, she laid down faint and melancholy in her bed, and said she could not live without the SPIRIT of the LORD was with her: and it did not seem to be strong upon her, only to tell her to write her dreams. When we had written them, we received a letter from the Rev. Mr. Foley, and I shall pen his words as they are in his letter. "Last Monday evening, about eight o'clock, we were most agreeably surprized with a visit from our dear friends, Mr. Mrs. and Miss Hirst, from Leeds; they had brought their daughter, from what I had written to them, and from what they had heard, to take her to Mrs. Hughes's in IIerefordshire *, in hopes she might be restored to perfect health, by the Divine Power given by the Lord to that favoured servant. They rested themselves one day here, and on Wednesday last, they set off for Kingsland, accompanied by my wife; and I do expect them home this day (Friday) and may the Lord crown their faith and endeavours with full and perfect success, is my sincere and ardent wish. From what I can learn of this extraordinary woman, is, that her wonderful cures seem to be wrought according to the strength of faith in the persons who come to her: they that have great faith are soon cured, and they

A remarkable account of this Woman, pretending to cure disgases by a Divine Power, has appeared in the Newspapers,

( 53 )

that have small faith receive but small benefit. But by and by, all these wonderful matters will be perfectly cleared up. When Mr. Mrs. and Miss Hirst return to Leeds, I shall send the communication to Mr. Turner. (One o'clock, Friday). This moment our dear friends are returned: and no benefit whatever has their daughter received; and as far as they can judge this woman is an abominable impostor.-Oh! what shall we say, or what shall we think? may it please the Lord to give us some information concerning this mysterious matter, through our dear Joanna, for we are all bewildered and are cast down. Mr. Hirst thinks she is not visited by a Good Spirit, from the observations he has made during the visit."

The answer to Joanna.-"Now, Joanna, I shall answer thee: I told thee on the Friday evening, the night must pass, and on the morning new wonders would burst; and I awaked thee calling Tom.

And so from Tom the thing did come,

The wonders to appear;

And to the world they shall be known,
These wonders I shall clear;

Because like thee my people be,
The owls do frighten all,

And try to pluck the fruit from ME,
But down I say't shall fall.

For my Express is now gone forth,
That every soul shall know,

The Jezebel that is of Hell

Doth in that Woman go;

And there thy Dream thou may'st see plain,
That thou dost blush to pen;

A Woman's nakedness thou know

Appeared unto men

That were by thee, thou'st blush'd to sce

Her nakedness appear;

And man stood by, beheld thy eye

With shame did cover there;

And now with shame, I'll tell thy name

The mysteries for to clear;

Thou wilt not pen thy hateful dream,

From Satan it did appear;

Because from Hell the whole did swell,
As I have told thee here;

Adultery appear'd to thee,

Which made the mau to smile;
The evil then was not in he,

Though her would him beguile;
But 'twas not so, I well do know,
She could not him ensnare,
Because that he as well as thee,
Laugh'd at her folly there;
Though other men to her may come
In her adulterous place;
And try to heal, my Bible steal,
And all my laws disgrace.
It is with shame I do explain
This chapter unto men;
For now this day, to thee I say,
They're acting in her plan;
Naked they be, I plain do see,
And naked they'd make all!
And so they heal, my Bible steal,
But never clear the Fall;
The ways of men they do go on,
Pretend great cures they do;
But to the purpose let all come,
They'll find MY WORDS are true:
They cure no more than she did there-
And Hirst's daughter see;

And now, you Shepherds every where,
You're acting just like she;

You do pretend to cure the men,

Or women that appear―

By your Religion that is vain

In

your adultery here:

You adulterate in every state

My Bible as it doth stand;

And, as the Woman heal'd the Child,

You're healing now the land:

That's not at all, I tell you all,

They gain no more from ye,

Than to Hirst's daughter there did fall
To gain her cure from she.

So in the dark stands every mark,
As I have said before;

Your wondrous healing will not do,

My Bible must appear.

So my Express is gone with this,
A Warning to Mankind-
You adulterate my every Word
And that you all shall find.
Simplicity was seen in they,

They went the truth to know;
Because that I who dwell on high,
Work'd in them this to do;
To find the cheat and prove deceit
Did in her strong appear.
