I am the fool, and must be the sufferer, if it be not of God.
From Joanna Southcott
I shall omit former particulars, and begin with informing the Reader, that, in 1792, I was strangely visited, by day and night, concerning what was coming upon the whole earth.
In 1792, my Sister told me, I was growing out of my senses.
In 1795, I sent him another letter, telling him, that danger still stood before us, and that the truth of what I had written in 1792 was to be proved by 12 men.
My faith grew strong, and I sent a letter (as I was ordered) to the Rev. Dignitary of the Cathedral of Exeter. I was assured, before I sent it, he would not answer it.
The first is last, and the last is first.
The next summer, 1794, corn grew dear, and distress began in our land.
The Spirit of the Lord is with them that fear him.
