John Gilpin Gilpin Quakers shaken p. 2. of Kendal in Westmerland in May 1653. went to a meeting of the Quakers at Richard Newberys where Christopher Atkinsons a A notoriouâ— Qâ—aker drift in his speaking was to deny all ministeriall teaching and ordinances b Well struck at once and that we ought to become as if we never had learned and to be taught of God within our selves by waiting upon an inward light after which he was affraid to read any good books or hear any Minister or to remember any thing which he had learned out of Gods word Going a second time to one of their meetings he had some conference by the way in which Robert Collison c A Quaker affirmed that Christ had his failings d Yet they must be â—erfect p. 3. f. 8. for he distrusted God on the Crosse he that then was Speaker perswaded the people to hearken to a voice within them after which he resolved to wait for the manifestation of these things in himself A third time he spake to them at your meeting that he would not joyn with them if they were of Collissons mind to which some of them alter much whispering There is cunning in daubing answered negatively At a fourth meeting Atkinson was speaker when he spake much of the experience he had from God from the light within him which light Gilpin not finding was much troubled yet expected the appearance of that light and earnestly desired that he might fall into quaking and trembling After his departure from them walking in his chamber he began to quake and tremble so extreamly that he could not stand * No standing before the Devil but in Gods strength but was forced to fall upon his bed where he howled * Much of the same in others hereafter cryed in a hideous manner to the great astonishment of his Family when he had thus continued about half an hour he ceased from howling gradually after which he rose rejo cing thinking now that he could bear witnesse against the Ministers as false Prophets because he never found such effect under their Ministry Going to bed he was much troubled all that night with dreams concerning his condition p. 4. and â—aâ— a discovery of his sins f The Divel will come and discover as serves his turn in particular especially of his covetousnesse afterwards awake and thinking upon those dreams he sensibly perceived something as he imagined lighting upon his neck and giving him a great stroke which caused much pain after that another third and fourth which stroke lesse then the former and lower down till it came to the middle of his back and then he thought something entred his body which he perswaded himself to be the spirit and heard in his conceit a voice within him it is day looking up he answered yes the voice twice replyed as certainly as it is light so certainly shall Christ give thee light After this he continued two or three dayes waiting for further discoveries sometime wrapt up into excessive joy and again exceedingly dejected with fears of his condition whether really good or under delusions yet still waited and waâ—king into the Garden lying down on the ground with his face to the earth his right hand began to shake so as he could not hold it still g Acted whilst he was wondring what the meaning should be apprehending himself to be shaken by the hand he was brought into a rapture of joy h All joy is not heavenly imagining it to be a figure of his marriage with Christ then he was raised and set on his feet again turned and laid on his back at which his sins were particularly brought to mind * Remember our sin God Divel Conscience and at remembrance of every sin his hand was carried round about with giving a pat on the ground and then he imagined he heard a voice saying now such a sin is mortified i A poor mortification of which being perswaded k without ground the power he was acted by permitted him to rise saying Ask what thou wilt of the Father and he will give it he replyed he knew not what to ask but desired that power to teach him he bid him ask wisdome whereupon he desired also that God would give him such things as were most for his glory and the good of others the power answered that his request was granted and that he should be endowed with the spirit of prophecy and singing praises to God p. 5. Herewith being satisfied l Small satisfaction he went to the fifth meeting where Atkinson being Speaker he was much more affected m The stirring of affections no true signe of edification then formerly after he had done Gilpin being ready to go away the wife of the house took him by the hand and wringing it very hard bad him sit down again which he did and presently John Audland Quakers of whom c. 11. stood up saying Cannot ye watch one hour c. In the time of his speaking Gilpin was drawn from where he sate and thrown upon the ground in the midst of the Company where he lay all night all which time his body and all the members of it were in motion being turned from his back to his belly and so back again severâ—ll times making Christum non crucum abhorret diabolus p. 6. crosses continually with his legs one over the other his hands were carried too and fro on the ground as if writing in which motions he saith he acted not in the least but was altogether passive He was perswaded q perswasions without ground lead men into a fools paradise it was the
down like mad l Little better he then came to the fire and was moved to look thereon in expectation to be directed by the flame or sparks but tired in looking he cast his eyes upward and seeing something swim upon a Kettle on the fire and looking thereon he had a command from the spirit in him on account of salvation to put his hand in the water telling him the heat should not seize on him but through fear standing a little he saw something falling to the ground which was a thing like a great Fly he was then commanded to look as fierce as he could on it and enjoyned to hold his leg to the fire and to observe the direction of the fly to the burning of it so the fly moved to the earth then he went close to the fire and there held his leg with both hands to the fire as the fly stood so the fly moved sometime neerer then farther sometime turning the one side sometime the other sometime round then to the same place again so he his leg accordingly about the third part of an hour the heat burning in his leg then the power perswaded him he would heale his leg so he durst not make it known though burnt from the knee to the foot being about his imployment he was moved to give over but not presently obeying there came diverse flies and rested on what he was about so leaving he was moved to wrastle and war with himself three times which he did like mad m Easily believed then he was given to understand this was a preparation against his sufferings and had respect to Christs Agony p. 37. then he was directed to look about and spyed a needle in his sleeve which he was moved to take in his hands and thrust both ends through his thumbs and afterward to the bone then he was commanded to stand on a box by the wall Practical blasphemy and to turn his back to the wall and spread his hands one on the other with the needle in his thumbs and so lift his Arms over his head and then strain his Arms and Body as high he could with the backs of his hands to the wall so to liken a death on the Crosse and he gave way to a drowsinesse as though a dying and fell on the ground as dead he was moved to spread shavings over him as sheets then to tye a handkerchief on his head then he lay on his back three quarters of an hour in imitation of three dayes then he was raised on his feet and commanded to make this known to the Quakers to make choice of some of them to be his Apostles so he ran forth in expectation to fly by the power of Michael which he believed now in him but not fleeing he was much troubled upon which he was commanded to put off his shoos which he did and so made way with all speed to the house and gave them to understand that Christ meaning himself was risen shewing the holes in his thumbs upon which he was looked upon with a strange look and charged to be silent there being many there and judging him with one consent he was silenced n High time That these relations may not seem fabulous he concludes page 45. in the presence of the Eternal God that he hath endeavoured to make known the truth and that to his knowledge he lies not in any thing and much of this may be justified by many and after the Epistle to the Reader there is this certificate We whose names are subscribed being certified of the contents and circumstances of the discourse ensuing and some of us having perused a part and others the whole of it are fully satisfied of the truth of things reported in it Thomas Brooks Thomas Jacomb George Cokeyn William Alderry John Goodwyn John Tombes William Jenkyn Mathew Poole CHAP. IV. Of James Naylor Sau's errand p. 29.30 WHo gives this account of himself that he was born at Ardislaw two miles from Wakefield in Yorkshire where he lived untill he was married then went into Wakefield parish a Husband-man a Souldier betwixt eight and nine years and of turning Quaker gives this account that he was at the Plow meditating on the things of God and suddenly he heard a voice saying get thee out from thy Kindred and Fathers House and had a promise given in with it that God would be with him whereat he did exceedingly rejoyce and when he came home he gave up his estate cast out his mony but not being obedient in going forth the wrath of God was on him so that he was made a wonder to all and none thought he would have liv'd but after he was made willing he began to make some preparations as apparel and other necessaries not knowing whether he should go but shortly after going a gateward with a friend from his own house having on an old Suit without any money having neither taken leave of Wife and Children nor thinking then of any journey he was commanded to go into the West not knowing whether he should goe nor what he was to do there but when he had been there a little while it was given him what he was to declare and ever since he hath remained not knowing to day what he was to do to morrow We shall not question the matter of fact but the question is from whom this from God or the Divel neither shall I spend words to resolve the doubt the following story perused and considered is sufficient to determine On the 24th of October 1656. he entred into Bristoll on Horse-back The Quakers Jesus with Timothy Wedlock of Devon two Women leading his horse with the Reyns in their hands p. 3.

appoint Then George Whitehead caused these positions to be writ saying he would defend them aâ—so f His strength was great or wit small 6 The Scriptures doth not say if any man say he hath no sin he deceives himselfe 7. I deny that this is a truth if any man say he hath no sin he deceives himselfe as concerning the Saints g But the Saints on Earth will say so 8. It is not a sin for me or any such man to preach or any to hear us Aug. 27. T. S. nor hearing of the time and place of meeâ—ing went to the Major to know what was resolved he answered the Aldermen were not willing it should be in the Town-Hall h Some of them according to this relation too willing their common meeting should be in the own so that if there were any dispute it must be in the Quakers common Meeting-house but several Aldermen were not willing there should be any and that he would not advise T. S. to dispute whereupon T. S. resolved not to dispute against the minde of the Corporation i Modest and sober Aug. 29. came this from W. to T. S. Friend T. S. this is to certifie thee that accorâ—ing to our agreemâ—nt when I was with thee I am willing to give thee a meeting and seeing no other place is appointed I intend to be at our Meeting place this day about one or two where I may exspect thy appearance according to thy promise to me first to produce thy arguments c. subscribed G. Whitehead Immediately he received another from Mr. James Alders Sir I was called this morning to Mr. Majors and there I was told that it is the desire of the Quakers to meet you at their house of meeting they begin to think you are afraid to meet them c. k Crow before victory Notwithstanding â— S. continued in his Chamber till one came from Mâ— Alders to tell him the Quakers were met and reported that T.S. did not dare to come thereupon he went When met G. W. told the people the Questions to be disputed were Quaker disarmed dispute 1. Whether it were a damnable sin for him to preach and secondly a damnable sin for any to hear him But T. S. began as the propositions lay in his paper and so went to prove tha Quakers do open a door to damnable Heresie T. S. he that writ Ishmael and his Mother cast out opens a door to damnable Heresies but you writ â—hat Book therefore Whithead answered he did not write it all for there is somewhat scribled l It was all but scrible in it T.S. asked if he were the Author of all printed in it he answered about three yeers ago I and four more writ it between us m Multis manthus gâ—ande levatur onus and said that he would own it T.S. further urged All Papists open a door to damnable Heresies you who writ this Book are a Papist therefore W. I am no Papist T.S. He who refuses to take the Oath of abjuration is a Papist he who writ this refuses to take the Oath of abjuration therefore a Papist Heâ—e George Fox n a notorious Quaker as before made a long Discourse to prove that it was not lawful for a Christian to swear o To put off the odium of refusing the Oath of Abjuration it is no duty to curse r il and blâ—spheme and would have had T. S. proved it was lawful to swear who answered it was beside the Question Here the Majors Wife entreated T. S. to lay aside Whiteheads Book and dispute from Scripture So T. S. did from 2. Cor. 5.20 He who pretends to be an Ambassador of Christ and hath no commission to show but what all the damnable Hereticks in the World do or may shew that man opens a door to damnable doctrines But you pretend to be an Embassador of Christ p VVhat is that to them but a bâ—ind and have no commission to shew but what all the damnable Hereticks in the World do or may shew therefore W. I have my Commission from Christ and did ever any Heretick pretend a Commission from Christ T. S. Yes David George Socinus Arius and all the Hereticks I ever read of W. They could not prove it by the effects as I i. e. shew the people converted by them T. S. They could Arians converted a nation of Infidels to Christianity and his opinions in a short time spread so far that all the World seemed Arian q Totus mundus est Arianas W. But did the Hereticks live good lives T. S. It is confessed that Arius and his did that Pelagius did and I remember that no Sect-master that did not Here Whitehead would prove himself no Heretick from 2. Pet. 2.1 2. Hereticks are those that deny the Lord that bought them I do not deny the Lord that bought me therefore T. S. I deny the Major all Hereticks do not deny the Lord that bought them the Apostle instances but in one sort even the worst who would even deny the Lord it followes not hence none are false Teachers or false Prophets or Hereticks but such as deny the Lord that bought them r A particulari ad universate non valet consequentia W. I have Christ within me therefore I do not deny the Lord that bought me T. S. You do not prove your Major Here being silent T. S. Out of this place urged against him He that writ Ishmael and his Mother cast out even denyes the Lord that bought him but you writ that Book There the Major he further proved He that denyes Persons in the Trinity and calls him Dreamer and Conjurer who asserts them saying that a man who saith there be 3 persons in the Trinity shall be shut up with them in perpetual darknesse for the Lake and the pit that man is an Heretick even denying the Lord that bought him but you George Whitehead deny the 3. persons in the Trinity c. This Minor was proved out of the Book it self p. 10. the 3. persons thou dreamest of which thou wouldest divide out of one like a Conjurer all are denyed and thou shut up with them in perpetual darknesse for the Lake and the Pit Here Fox made a long Discourse against the Trinity T. S. I came not to hear you repeat a deal out of Paul Beast I came to dispute Fox Prove there be 3 persons T. S. 1. Joh. 5.7 There be 3 that bear Record in heaven the Father the Word and the Spirit and these 3 are one Thus If the Father Son and Holy Ghost be 3 He 's then 3 persons â— VVhile H. D. gibes at 3 He 's and the argument for three persons taken from the places he considers not that T. S. was necessitated to condescend to vulgar capacities who cryed out they would hear no Philosophy or School-terms but they are 3 He 's therefore Fox What mean you by 3. He 's T.
with is it not very suspicious the true cause of his safety was his complyance with them The Doctrines which he broaches every where being theirs and a fair inlet to their bag and baggage 2. Mr. Thomas Faxton jurat Thomas Barber Cooper sufficient and credible men of Sandwich had some discourse wth him at Dunkirke and he told them he looked upon the Jesuits and Fryars there to sounder f As sound had been fair in Doctrine then those we call the Reformed Churches 3. Hundreds can testifie how light he made of the charge of Popery on the first day of the Dispute when Amesius against Bellarmine was produced and with a gesture of derision he replyed that Bellarmine held many truths which must not be rejected because he held them To the former part of this story Gotherson g Allarm p. 80 makes a reply such as it is viz. For those false aspersions cast upon him of receiving a pension from the Pope I know his soul abhorreth any such thing and that he is as great a hater of the Pope and his wayes as any man in England is and I know he hath no such need nor ever will have for they that seeke tht kingdome of God and the righteousnesse thereof all other things shall be administred to them And I do verily think that there is not a man in England more able to confute error and heresie Answ Many words little proof a great cry and no wooll he saith they are false aspersions but proves it not verba non sunt probata unlesse that this must be admitted for one I know his soule abhors any such thing he may be deceived in the temper of his owne soule much more in anothers but he is as great a hater of the Pope and his wayes as any man in England 1. The Pope and his wayes are better beloved then I did imagine 2. Surely there are thousands in Enland not halfe so well affected as he 3. His hatred and the greatnesse of it visibly appears by the latter part of the relation Again I know he hath no such needs nor never will have 1. Many men do that of which there is no need There are that have pensions not out of necessity though he be not one of the Popes Almes-men yet he may be one of his Factors but how proves he he never will have for they that seek the kingdome of God the Scripture is true the inference false 1. Shall we say that those who are necessitated to receive almes or pensions seek not the kingdome of God Or 2. That none of them that do shall ever come to need I am sure I have seen a Quaker begge and plead necessity and a Minister relieve her too in that condition But that Gotherson hath too high an opinion of Mr. Fisher is evident enough I do verily thinke that there if not a man in England more able to confute errour and heresie Oh England if this be so take up a great lamentation and bitterly bewail thy sad condition and the losse of so many famous men that thou formerly enjoyedst every way furnished with weapons of truth to maintain verity against all opposers but how is thy condition changed that now Mr. Fisher should be as tall as any in England and as fit to contend for the faith But for all these swelling words h 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 of vanity and doting affection of Gotherson Mr. Fishers weakness appears 1. By his running from one thing to another Minister Anabaptist Quaker 2. By his managing the Dispute at Sandwich so far as he was concern'd if he be so able let him peruse his own Fishers Folly his great book in Folio in defence of Anabaptisme and see what he can further maintain or handsomly retract 3. Mr. H. Den in his Quaker no Papist A gagg for Quakers Epist to the Reader pretending to defend the Quaker saith not one word in defence of any Sect but onely the down-right open Papist and uses the very same arguments and the same words against Protestants in generall as the Papists do in their daily printed books And the answer to Mr. Dens Quaker no Papist fol. 59 60. saith I shall only mention a few of Mr. Henry Dens positions delivered by him in this Tract As 1. That he does not know whether Purgatory be revealed in Scripture or not p. 12. l. penult 2. That it is clear whoever takes the oath of Abjuration i And whereas they would blind this with swear not at all yet in other cases they can swear not only before a Magistrate but profanely R. B. in his Q. doth forswear the priviledges of Parliament p. 14. medio 3. That in good earnest he thinks those who had their ordination from the Church of Rome and do not obey the Pope are rebels disobedient and apostates if they defend the necessity of ordination by Bishops pag. 16. medio 4. That he finds as much honest proceedings and credit in Papists as in Protestants p. 15. l. penult and can see no great reason of fear or danger from Papists p. 18. l. 3. 5. That he does very confidently assure himself that if an Oath were tendred to all the Papists in this Nation they would all wilingly swear that neither they themselves nor any that they know did ever use any such practice as is reported of Ramsy by Mr. Prin and some in Cambridge of a Franciscan by Mr. Baxter K. Châ—rles dayes and our owne will testifie and swear that neither they nor any they know did ever make profession for what ends soever to be of any Religion save onely their own p. 19. fine 6. That no Protestant Minister either in England or beyond the Seas hath any better ordination or commission to preach then Geo. Whitehead the Quaker p. 8 9 10. Lastly that the present Roman Church and no other is the pure Spouse of Christ or else there hath been none in all ages Lastly at the end of a Gag for Quakers there are questions propounded to G. Whiteh Fox and p. 16. these considerable passages Have we not cause to believe you Geo. Whitehead to be a Papist For 1. maintaining Popish Doctrines expressed in Ishmael and other of your printed books 2. For refusing to abjure any one point of Popery 3. For deterring the common people from reading Scripture by telling them in your book against Clapham it 's carnal the Letter kills and therefore cannot safely be read by them 4. For defending Bellarmine with your Collegue F. whom you have seen proved a Papist by witnesses in a book printed for Joh Allen p. 57. 5. For your pretending to infallibility in all points 6. For your saying confidently in the Majors house that you knew all the Fathers of the first three hundred years were Papists 7. For your citing places in the Apocrypha for Canonicall Scripture as Parrot cites Wisdome 4. 8 9. to elude Levit. 19.22 See Goliah p. 63. k
