I was that day going to London, fully determined to bespeak them, as I rode through the town.

And I believe the same God ordered mine, as I trust it will appear in the following history. The scripture tells us to call no man master,...

Pagina 213 - I mounted my horse and rode home : and he turned out as good an animal as ever was rode. I believe this horse was the gift of God, because he tells me in his word that all the beasts of the forest are his, and so are the cattle on a thousand hills. I have often thought that, if my horse could have spoken, he would have had more to say than Balaam's ass; as he might have said, ' I am an answer to my master's prayers, I live by my master's faith, travel with mysteries, and suffer persecution, but I...
