VI. THE SHEPHERD OF PENDLE HILL

_'On Pendle G.F. saw people as

thick as motes in the sun, that

should in time be brought home to

the Lord, that there might be but

one Shepherd and one Sheepfold in

all the earth. There his eye was

directed Northward beholding a

great people that should receive

him and his message in those

parts.'--W. PENN'S Testimony to

George Fox._

_'In Adam, in the fall are all the

inward foul weather, storms,

tempests, winds, strifes, the

whole family of it is in

confusion, being all gone from the

spirit and witness of God in

themselves, and the power and the

light, in which power and light

and spirit, is the fellowship with

God and with one another, through

which they come ... into the

quickener, who awakens (them) and

brings (them) up unto Himself, the

way, Christ; and out of and off

from the teachers and priests, and

shepherds that change and fall, to

the PRIEST, SHEPHERD and PROPHET,

that never fell or changed, nor

ever will fail or change, nor

leave the flock in the cold

weather nor in the winter, nor in

storms or tempests; nor doth the

voice of the wolf frighten him

from his flock. For the Light, the

Power, the Truth, the

Righteousness, did it ever leave

you in any weather, or in any

storms or tempests? And so his

sheep know his voice and follow

Him, who gives them life eternal

abundantly.'--GEORGE FOX._
