XXI. PALE WIND FLOWERS: OR THE LITTLE PRISON MAID

_'Let not anything straiten you

when God moves.'--W. DEWSBURY,

Epistle from York Tower, 1660._

_'All friends and brethren

everywhere, that are imprisoned

for the Truth, give yourselves up

in it, and it will make you free,

and the power of the Lord will

carry you over all the

persecutors. Be faithful in the

life and power of the Lord God and

be valiant for the Truth on the

earth; and look not at your

sufferings, but at the power of

God; and that will bring some good

out of all your sufferings; and

your imprisonments will reach to

the prisoned that the persecutor

prisons in himself.... So be

faithful in that which overcomes

and gives victory.'--G. FOX._

_'Bread and Wine were the Supper

of the Lord in the dispensation of

Time, ... a figure of His death,

which were fulfilled when He had

suffered and rose again, and now

He is known to stand at the door

and knock, "If any man hear my

Voice and open the door, I will

come in and sup with him and he

with me," saith Christ. And we

being many are one Bread and one

Body and know the Wine renewed in

our Father's Kingdom. Christ the

Substance we now witness; Shadows

and Figures done away; he that can

receive it, let him.'--W. DEWSBURY._
