This is the only mention of Miles Halhead in this Journal. His name
occurs frequently in Sewell’s _History_, from which it appears he
travelled largely and suffered much on Truth’s account, being the
first of the Quakers imprisoned at Kendal.
Footnote 23:
Christopher Taylor, after writing and preaching much on Truth’s
account, removed to America about the year 1683, and died at
Philadelphia in 1686. See account of him in Whiting’s _Memoirs_, pp.
352-55.
After I had visited Friends in WESTMORLAND, I returned into LANCASHIRE,
and went to ULVERSTONE, where W. Lampitt was priest; who, though he had
preached of a people that should own the teachings of God, and had said,
“that men and women should come to declare the gospel;” yet afterwards,
when it came to be fulfilled, he persecuted both it and them. To this
priest’s house I went, where abundance of priests and professors were
got together after their lecture, with whom I had great disputings
concerning Christ and the Scriptures; for they were loath to let their
trade go down, which they made of preaching Christ’s, and the apostles’
and prophets’ words. But the Lord’s power went over the heads of them
all, and his word of life was held forth amongst them; though many of
them were exceedingly envious and devilish. Yet after this many priests
and professors came to me from far and near; of whom, they that were
innocent and simple-minded were satisfied, and went away refreshed; but
the fat and full were fed with judgment, and sent empty away: for that
was the word of the Lord to be divided to them.
