To the Christian Reader.

I Trust thy judgement, by committing it to the Spirit of God for directions to read both my words and meanings. I pray God give thee charity to love the works and matters spoken of, saith to believe them, and then wisdom to apply them to their right use designed. This short Narrative I have this afternoon at my lea∣sure drawn up, with little study, and yet by good advice. Those works of Miracles and Healing that are not onely talk'd of, but really performed, I will own: and in brief, that I have the power of working Miracles, the gifts of Healing, of Prophecie, and the spirit of Discerning, I will justifie, if I am called to it, not onely before God, Men, and Angels, but before Satan, Antichrist, and all the powers of hell: yea, if I knew the way to enter the gates of hell, by way of confirmation of these Gifts, and of revenging the abuseful reproaches of them from the devils and their agents, I would; and, through the power of God and his Christ, make the devil and his Antichrist roar and howl their worst, that they might be the sooner silent.

The 25 of May, 1654.

MATTHEW COKER, the Apostolical Prophet, and Prophetical Apostle.
