My faith grew strong, and I sent a letter (as I was ordered) to the Rev. Dignitary of the Cathedral of Exeter. I was assured, before I sent it, he would not answer it.

I shall now proceed to my own experience, which hath truly convinced me, the Lord is awakened as one out of sleep; and the voice of the Lord will shake terribly the earth.

I am the fool, and must be the sufferer, if it be not of God.

What you know not now you will know hereafter.

New-Year's Day arriving, and the ministers, to whom I wrote, remaining silent, I consider their silence as evidence, that they cannot prove what I said not to be from the Lord, and have therefore published as I was directed.

At the end of 1795 and beginning of 1796, I was ordered to write to the Church ministers.

I was now ordered to have my writings copied, and put into the printer's hand.
