had done and followed him out himself not being Habited like a Priest to prevent Suspition got an opportunity to speak to him After a Complement told him he should be very glad to be further Acquainted with him for that he liked his Sermon very well being performed like a Scholar The pretended Quaker answered He was no Scholar but a Shoe-maker He then desired to know where he Lived who told him He Lived at a House near Aldersgate The Priest told him He would come and buy some Shoes of him And after some other discourse parted A few days after he went thither and finding the Shop asked the Servants if there was not a Quaker lived there was answered Yes he was above-stairs upon which seeing the Stairs in the Shop went forthwith up when he came into the first Room looked about him and saw a Door into another Room which he went into and there found his supposed Quaker at his Books having a very great Library in his Chamber several Books lying open before him some of which were Greek Vpon his so sudden coming in the said Quaker was surprized and very angrily ask'd him how he came there and what his business was He then told him He wondered he should tell such a Lie to him the other day in saying he was no Schollar whereas now he found to the contrary and which he did suppose before but was willing to be satisfied with other Discourse so went away and soon after went to the Bishop of London and acquainted him with it told him he believed he was no Quaker but that he assumed the Name to deceive but rather that he was a Jesuit and a very dangerous person fit to be apprehended upon which the Bishop ordered he should which was forwith done and he committed to Prison where he remains being found to have a hand in the Plot. John Vandewall Hippolito Luisanzy I Receiv'd a Paper from the hand of John Vandewall wherein he gives an account of thy scandalizing and reproaching of the people of God called Quakers in reporting that thou foundst a Jesuit preaching amongst them and by circumstances I am the Man thou pretendest to be the Jesuit And not by report saist thou but of thy own knowledge And to make up thy Story thou saist The Jesuit had a Library of Books and some of them were Greek O thou deceitful Man what dost thou promise to thy self by making these Lies For I am a Shoemaker and have no Language but my natural Tongue which is English and also thou wast at my Shop and bespake Shoes of me several times and paidst me for them and pretendedst great love to me and defiredst to lodge at my House but I seeing thy fawning Spirit could not give way to it But that is true thou wast at a Meeting near Spittle-Fields where thou didst hear me Speak or Preach as thou saist and that thou metst me in the Street afterwards and toldst me Thou wast well satisfied with my Sermon and that thou believedst I was a Schollar and desiredst further acquaintance with me and to know where I dwelt is true and I told thee I was no Schollar and also informed thee where I dwelt and thou camest to my House within a few days after and desiredst to have some conference with me and thou wast with me in my Chamber where I was friendly to thee and not angry nor surprized as thou sayest and thou mightest see several Books and at that time some of them were upon the Table but none of them were Greek or Latine Neither didst thou charge me with a Lie in that I said I was no Schollar nor nothing in the way of reflection didst thou speak to me but seemedst to be very friendly and desiredst to know our Doctrine and Principles which I spake to thee as things opened in my heart and thou seemedst to be satisfied and in words owned what I said and this was the first time of thy being at my House and thon boughtest a pair of Shoes of me and wentest thy way in a friendly manner and wast several times at my Shop afterwards and bespake Shoes of me as aforesaid But to invent such Lies as thou hast done deserves reproof and that from them thou hast told them to who are abused thereby But thy Deceit and Hypocrisie is seen and thou art weighed in the Ballance of Equity and art found as light as Vanity and the Wrath of the Lord shall consume thy covering and thee with it except thou repent who makest Lies thy Refuge and also how couldst thou be so impudent to report such horrible Lies That by the Bishop of London I was apprehended and eommitted to Prison and there remain being found to have a hand in the Plot But I am not of such principles but I have learned the Command of Christ Jesus which is To love Enemies And I abhor the thoughts of such things in my heart which thou hast laid to my charge nor never was imprison'd upon any such account neither was I ever questioned by the Bishop or any concerning such things but am at Liberty to reprove thy lying Spirit therefore blush and be ashamed if there be any left in thee and cease from thy pretence of teaching others till thou art better taught thy self and repent of thy wickedness and give testimony against thy Lies where thou hast spread them abroad and let the people know thou hast abused and wronged me and them by reporting such Lies against me I do hear that about four years since thou wast converted but I am ready to judge thou art still no better notwithstanding thy pretended Reformation thy living Spirit Jesuit-like makes thee manifest Lond. 14. 2d Month 1679. From one that could wish thou wert better who am known by Name John Tyso Harwich the 3d. of January 1680. THese are to certifie That about two years since Hippolito de Luisanzy coming to this Town to be Minister here did within a short time after report That he had caus'd a Quaker who afterwards prov'd a Jesuit to be apprehended the manner thus viz. he going to a Quakers Meeting heard one preach a prety while whom after Meeting he followed out and enquired of him where he lived who answered within Aldersgate and the said Luisanzy telling him he believed he was a Schollar He answered him no he was no Schollar but a Shoemaker upon which the said Luisanzy told him he would come and buy Shoes of him and within few days went to the Shop and enquired of the Servants if there did not live a Quaker there who answered Yes and that he was above-stairs He seeing the Stairs in the Shop did not stay to be invited in but went up without and found the said Quaker at his Books having a great Library some of which were Latin and Greek After some Discourse past between them he went away and acquainted the Bishop of London therewith who caus'd him to be apprehended and finding him to be a Jesuit committed him to Newgate since which he is found to have a hand in the Plot. This he reported to divers in this Town and to us in particular John Brown Wil. Marloe Charles Smyth John Vandewall WE whose Names are here under-written hearing of the Report within mentioned and that the person to whom it related was come to Town were desirous to hear what could be said in the business and being present when the said de Luisanzy and the Quaker met did hear the said Luisanzy utterly deny that ever he saw him though the said Quaker did by several circumstances shew that he was the Man he heard preach and followed out of the Meeting and afterwards was at his House and bought Shoes of him yet for a long time he denied that ever he saw him But before they parted he confess'd he had bought Shoes of him which was all he would confess to Robert Lane Robert Last Samuel Morris William Marloe Therefore hearing that still this scandalous Report is blazed abroad and afirmed to be a real Truth and amongst Parliament-men who are endeavouring to heal the breaches amongst the people which I do not question but in great measure have been brought forth by Romish Emisaries who would destroy the appearance of God in the hearts of people from off the Earth if by the Lord they were not limited whose Work in some degree is to forge Lies and stir up people one against another that they might be weakened thereby that the Church of Rome with her wicked Instruments might be strengthened and encouraged in their wicked and hellish Designs as this Priests work to me appears in this his abuse towards me which tends to the Destruction of my Life and all I have in this World and the whole Body of a People to suffer thereby who fears God and as much as any people in the World denies the Idolatrous principles and practices of the Church of Rome and he hath not only abused us but the Bishop of London also by forging Lies upon him For I was never before him nor questioned in any such thing And this is the cause why this is put to publick view that Truth might be cleared and such evil Reports taken out of the minds of people that they might not be abused therewith And it is my desire that this Man and I may be brought before some in Authority to give an account in this matter that Truth may take place and Deceit and Wickedness may not go unreproved J.
