[38] The Roman Catholic gentry used sometimes to alarm their Protestant neighbours with blood-curdling announcements that the good times of Queen Mary were coming back, and 'faggotts should be deere yet' (G.M. Trevelyan, _England under the Stuarts_, p. 87). XXVII. TWO ROBBER STORIES. WEST AND EAST _'They were changed men themselves, before they went out to change others'--W. PENN, Testimony to George Fox._ _'But when He comes to reign, whose right it is, then peace and goodwill is unto all men, and no hurt in all the holy mountain of the Lord is seen.'--G. FOX._ _'Wouldst thou love one who never died for thee,_ _Or ever die for one who had not died for thee?_ _And if God dieth not for Man and giveth not Himself_ _Eternally for Man, Man could not exist, for Man is Love_ _As God is Love. Every kindness to another is a little death_ _In the Divine Image, nor can man exist but by brotherhood.'_ _W. BLAKE, 'Jerusalem.'_ _'England is as a family of prophets which must spread over all nations, as a garden of plants, and the place where the pearl is found which must enrich all nations with the heavenly treasure, out of which shall the waters of life flow, and water all the thirsty ground, and out of which nation and dominion must go the spiritually weaponed and armed men, to fight and conquer all nations and bring them to the nation of God.'--Epistle of Skipton General Meeting, 1660._ XXVII. TWO ROBBER STORIES. WEST AND EAST I LEONARD FELL AND THE HIGHWAYMAN In that same memorable summer of 1652 when George Fox first visited Swarthmoor Hall and 'bewitched' the household there, he also met and 'bewitched' another member of the Fell family. This was one Leonard Fell, a connection of the Judge, whose home was at Baycliff in the same county of Lancashire. Thither George Fox came on his travels shortly after his first visit to Swarthmoor, when only Margaret Fell and her children were at home, and before his later visit after Judge Fell's return. 'I went to Becliff,' says the Journal, 'where Leonard Fell was convinced, and became a minister of the everlasting Gospel. Several others were convinced there and came into obedience to truth. Here the people said they could not dispute, and would fain have put some others to hold talk with me, but I bid them, "Fear the Lord and not in a light way hold a talk of the Lord's words, but put the things in practice."'
