Or A vindication of Susanna Parr; one of those two women lately excommunicated by Mr Lewis Stycley, and his church in Exeter. / Composed and published by her selfe, for the clearing of her own innocency, and the satisfaction of all others, who desire to know the true reason of their so rigorous proceedings against her.

he_o instance_v in_o several_a particular_n the_o last_o of_o these_o i_o shall_v begin_v with_o and_o answer_v in_o the_o first_o place_n which_o i_o shall_v do_v have_v brief_o consider_v what_o

itself_o i_o be_o here_o bring_v in_o oppose_a mr._n allens_n suspension_n and_o in_o other_o page_n of_o his_o book_n he_o say_v mr._n allen_n consent_v to_o my_o suspension_n as_o mr._n allen_n deny_v the_o one_o so_o do_v i_o the_o other_o but_o suppose_v i_o shall_v have_v do_v it_o they_o all_o know_v it_o be_v my_o judgement_n and_o my_o practice_n at_o that_o time_n where_o be_v the_o

charge_n which_o i_o be_v charge_v with_o by_o they_o which_o be_v this_o namely_o for_o speak_v against_o mr_n allen_n because_o he_o do_v partake_v of_o the_o ordinance_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n with_o the_o presbyterian_o and_o this_o i_o deny_v my_o reason_n be_v because_o i_o have_v never_o hear_v at_o that_o time_n that_o mr._n allen_n do_v partake_v with_o the_o presbyterian_o in_o

generality_n of_o the_o then_o member_n of_o the_o church_n witness_v that_o a_o long_a time_n she_o open_o contend_v against_o it_o to_o the_o grief_n of_o the_o church_n resolut_a 1._o i_o have_v

to_o her_o die_a day_n 2_o that_o i_o affirm_v that_o i_o never_o speak_v against_o she_o be_v false_a neither_o can_v i_o get_v any_o advantage_n by_o it_o seeing_z other_o of_o the_o church_n do_v the_o like_a in_o who_o it_o be_v not_o look_v upon_o as_o a_o evil_a i_o may_v say_v more_o but_o that_o i_o be_o unwilling_a to_o rake_v in_o the_o ash_n of_o the_o dead_a 3_o i_o give_v mr._n

prevail_v with_o she_o to_o consent_v unto_o the_o admission_n of_o mistress_n dorothy_n eveleigh_n instance_n 3._o she_o deny_v that_o she_o ever_o call_v the_o presbyterian_a church_n by_o the_o name_n of_o babylon_n whereas_o most_o of_o the_o church_n witness_v that_o she_o have_v often_o so_o call_v they_o resol_n what_o i_o answer_v mr._n stucley_n when_o he_o do_v in_o a_o manner_n reprove_v i_o for_o acknowledge_v that_o to_o be_v a_o true_a church_n which_o former_o i_o have_v call_v babylon_n appear_v in_o the_o narrative_a to_o which_o i_o shall_v far_o add_v 1_o suppose_v it_o be_v true_a that_o i_o have_v in_o the_o heat_n of_o contention_n at_o our_o first_o separation_n vent_v some_o rash_a and_o inconsiderate_a expression_n in_o reference_n to_o the_o presbyterian_a church_n or_o the_o presbyterian_o themselves_z yet_o it_o ill_o become_v mr._n stucley_n and_o the_o rest_n to_o be_v my_o accuser_n who_o continue_v in_o the_o same_o practice_n in_o judge_v i_o for_o this_o they_o do_v but_o condemn_v themselves_o according_a to_o that_o of_o the_o apostle_n rom._n 2.1_o why_o do_v they_o censure_v i_o now_o for_o this_o see_v i_o be_o not_o guilty_a of_o it_o at_o present_a why_o do_v not_o they_o admonish_v i_o for_o it_o former_o when_o i_o be_v with_o they_o 2_o will_v they_o even_o now_o be_v so_o faithful_a unto_o i_o as_o to_o name_v any_o particular_a time_n place_n or_o other_o circumstance_n that_o may_v bring_v such_o expression_n to_o my_o remembrance_n they_o shall_v find_v i_o as_o ready_a to_o condemn_v myself_o as_o they_o be_v to_o accuse_v i_o if_o do_v in_o a_o orderly_a manner_n 3_o it_o may_v be_v that_o which_o occasion_v this_o report_n be_v my_o mention_v of_o babylon_n brat_n at_o the_o time_n when_o i_o speak_v my_o experience_n i_o do_v then_o declare_v how_o hard_o it_o be_v for_o i_o to_o separate_a from_o those_o who_o be_v godly_a and_o who_o ministry_n have_v be_v so_o profitable_a unto_o i_o but_o when_o i_o consider_v the_o command_n of_o god_n touch_v no_o unclean_a thing_n and_o i_o will_v receive_v you_o etc._n etc._n i_o conceive_v it_o do_v sufficient_o warrant_v our_o separate_n from_o they_o and_o far_o i_o declare_v that_o there_o be_v many_o little_a one_o babylonish_n brat_n which_o must_v be_v dash_v against_o the_o stone_n which_o i_o then_o tell_v they_o i_o do_v understand_v of_o thing_n not_o person_n but_o they_o many_o of_o they_o be_v new_o creep_v into_o a_o form_n of_o godliness_n be_v so_o ignorant_a of_o that_o distinction_n as_o what_o i_o speak_v of_o thing_n they_o interpret_v of_o person_n which_o be_v so_o far_o from_o my_o thought_n as_o that_o when_o i_o begin_v to_o read_v the_o book_n entitle_v one_o blow_n more_o to_o babylon_n i_o lay_v it_o aside_o as_o not_o be_v able_a to_o close_a with_o the_o author_n thereof_o because_o of_o his_o many_o reflection_n therein_o though_o as_o they_o all_o know_v i_o have_v a_o high_a eastern_a of_o he_o and_o do_v not_o use_v to_o slight_v he_o 4_o when_o i_o do_v at_o any_o time_n afterward_o name_n babylon_n i_o never_o mean_v it_o but_o of_o babylon_n in_o the_o mystery_n consist_v either_o in_o the_o join_n of_o man_n invention_n with_o christ_n institution_n or_o in_o press_v of_o thing_n indifferent_a upon_o the_o conscience_n as_o necessary_a or_o in_o the_o set_n up_o of_o mixture_n in_o the_o ordinance_n of_o christ_n so_o far_o as_o i_o apprehend_v any_o of_o these_o i_o do_v declare_v against_o they_o and_o for_o these_o very_a thing_n do_v i_o now_o declare_v against_o that_o congregation_n from_o which_o i_o have_v depart_v which_o i_o little_o think_v at_o first_o will_v have_v be_v find_v among_o they_o jnstance_n 4._o she_o deny_v that_o
