P . 92 . October 26 , 1794 , the Lord God commands me to say to you , William Bryan , that you ' are appointed and will be commanded by him to testify publicly , to the world wlio I now am , and what my future designation
is . The Lord God will influence and command numbers of his people , both men and women , to give the same public testimonies . P . 102 . October 26 1794 He
, . informed the English government , judges , & c . that the prisoners now in confinement , and on trial for their lives , & c . are innocent .
Mr . Halhead published his testimony Jan . 29 , 1 ^ 795 . Mr . Bryan published his testimony Feb . 10 , 1795 ; wherein he acknowledges that he was compelled by the spirit to write ,
being against his natural will . Several others have published and are publishing their testimonies . Many also have given their testimonies by letter . John Wright published his testimony August
1 , 1794 . The' prisoners were all - tried and acquitted ; the consequent
innocence is therefore manifest .
These things , having been alread y fulfilled , ought to be a caution to every body how they deny revelation and prophecy ; and it believes every person to examine into the revealed prophecies very carefully , and judge impartially ; Acts v . 39 . " But if these things be of God , ye cannot overthrow them . " Richard Brothers stands in the Court Calendar as a naval officei-j Jan 317 8 3— 'Surely then his
