A Short History of a Long Travel from Babylon to Bethel by Stephen Crisp

led into the treasury or store-house; which, when I came to see and
behold, was abundantly filled with all sorts of nourishments, that
never could be exhausted, or spent, while the world endured. And I
observed that whatever I and others took out to distribute daily
among the household of God, the store-house was still full as at the
beginning, and so continues to this day, and forever.

And now, having continued a long time in this heavenly habitation, it
comes into my mind to let my countrymen, and the children of my old
father, whom I left in Babylon, hear of me; for I suppose they judge
me lost or devoured; but I could be glad if any, yea, all of them,
were here to behold, and taste and feel what I do. And let none
of them say, it happened better with me than with many; for I have
understood, since coming into this house, that the same Light that
appeared to me, doth appear to any poor distressed soul in the whole
world; but the reason that so few come here is, because they fear the
perils and dangers that are in the way, more than they love the Light
that would lead them through them; and so turn aside, and shelter
themselves in an old rotten building, that at one time or other, will
fall on their heads, and they perish in the ruins.

and now I have found it; Hallelujah in the Highest; glory, honour,
and renown to his worthy Name and power, throughout all ages and
generations. Amen.]

Now if any have a mind to know my name, let them know I had a name
in my father's country, but in this long and tedious journey I have
lost it. But since I came hither I have a "new name," but have no
characters to signify it by, that I can write, or they can read. Yet
