VOL. 2.
-------------------------------------------
CHAPTER 1.
1663-1666.—George Fox visits London—taken up at Tenterden and examined
by the magistrates, but liberated—travels to the S. W. of
England—precious meetings in Wales—at Derwentwater meets with an old
woman whose husband was aged 122 years—apprehended and taken before
the magistrates at Holker Hall, but liberated on his parole to
appear at the sessions—appears accordingly, and is committed to
Lancaster jail—many poor friends imprisoned there at the same time,
whose families become chargeable in consequence—one of them (Oliver
Atherton) dies in jail, where he was immured by the Countess of
Derby for tithes—George Fox has the oath tendered him at the
assizes, and is re-committed—Margaret Fell is also imprisoned
there—the prisoners in Lancaster jail to Justice Fleming—a brief
warning to the same by George Fox—George Fox disputes with Major
Wiggan (who was also a prisoner), and confutes him—writes to the
judges against giving nicknames—writes a warning to all high
professors—also a warning against the spirit of John Perrot—at the
assizes he points out many fatal errors in his indictment, and it is
quashed in consequence, but the judge ensnares him with the oath,
and he is again remanded to prison—suffers much from the badness of
the prison—at the next assizes he again points out fatal errors in
his indictment, and is immediately hurried away to jail, and
sentence is passed on him in his absence—a testimony against
tithes—he is removed to Scarbro’ Castle—has several conferences and
disputes with divers persons there—writes to the king respecting his
imprisonment, and is set at liberty—copy of his discharge and
passport—the day after George Fox’s liberation the great fire broke
out in London, a vision of which he had in Lancaster Castle—the hand
of the Lord turned against persecutors.
