THE Barbican-Cheat DETECTED OR Injustice Arraigned BEING A Brief and Sober Disquisition of the Procedure of the Anabaptists Late-Erected Judicature in Barbican London the 28th of the Moneth called August 1674. With some Observations upon their pretended Account thereof in their Pamphlet term'd The Quakers Appeal Answered By Thomas Rudyard Prov. 18.17 He that is first in his own Cause seemeth Just but his Neighbour cometh and searcheth him Printed in the Year 1674. Reader HAd not apparent Deceit and Falshood maskt themselves under the Govert of Acting a Piece of Justice it had excu'd the Occasion of reviewing that Day 's Act so comically performed upon the Stage of Abuse I thus willingly express my self knowing such Judicious and Unbyased there conclude with me The Actors thereof presented their Auditory with Painted Shews or Scenes of Judgment and Justice when in Reality there was nothing less amongst them yea so opposite that Truth was fallen in the Streets and Equity could not enter I presume thee Reader not ignorant of that Noise and Stir Thomas Hicks and his Abetters by his Comedian-Books which he falsly terms Dialogues betwixt a Christian and a Quaker have of late made in this interval of publick Connivance or Liberty to represent us and our Principles unworthy of what we enjoy or the Respect of men regarding Sobriety and Virtue His Talent lying in Forgery of Principles and Doctrines and laying the Brats at our Door he only has begot which foul Practice of his has been evidently discovered in 2 Treatises by W. Penn with Demand of Answer from his Brethren If they would own T. H. and his Work that so accordingly we might deal with them The People called Anabaptists having publickly patronized him his Work and avowed them in Print I can accompt of Tho. Hicks no less then their Agent and Representative and solemnly protest against him and them as Confederates in that Abuse of Forgeries Lyes Perversions and Slanders justly charged and in Print made out against him And since they have in so publick a manner taken cognisance of these Matters and colourably determined the same it may not be unseasonable for the sake of Truth and detecting Falshood to make a serious Scrutiny into these Particulars apart viz. 1. Their Commission 2. The Calling of their Court and Notice to Persons concerned 3. The Capacity of the Judges 4. The Method and Manner of their Procedure 5. Their Decree or Judgment Which with some brief Observations upon their pretended Answer to the Appeal I shall close the following Discourse and leave the same to the solid Perusal Consideration of the Candid and Unprejudiced Reader London 26th 7th Month 1674. T. R. THE Barbican-Cheat DETECTED c. First AS for their Commission they deriv'd from a Book of William Penn tituled The Counterfeit Christian Detected wherein is a Postscript by another Hand viz. We expect to hear what the Baptists in and about London will ay as being appealed to concerning their Brother Tho. Hicks his Proceeding in his Three Dialogues And whether they approve thereof or of such Play Books or Romances in Religion yea or nay Hence would they derive their Authority and this take they for a Commission * Anab. Appeal answ but surely they understand Words better then thus ignorantly to mistake to term this an Appeal when it only refers to one But I need not wonder at such Slips since he has so apt an Hand at Matters of greater Consequence The words are as being appeal'd to respecting Appeal before made to them and so there is in p. 28. p. 40. of W. Penn's Book entituled The Counterfeit Christian Detected which had been but Equal and Honest in T. H. and his Confederates to have delivered to that Auditory and the Reader of his Relation In pag. 28. After W. Penn had charged T. Hicks with many old and with seven new Forgeries and cleared the same by plain Demonstration he concludes With you the People called Anabaptists I leave this Section Right us right your selves right our Profession of such an Unfair Adversary and your selves of so Scandalous an Advocate In p. 40. W. Penn after he had charg'd him with twenty gross Perversions c. he concludes Thus have I finished my Observations on his Peruersions leaving them also with the People called Anabaptists upon whom I cannot choose but frequently call for Justice against this their unjust Member Concluding my Complaint in this Section in honest J. Husse's against the like Adversaries on the same Occasion Some of those Propositions I did write and publish other some mine Enemy did feign now adding then diminishing and taking away now falsly ascribing imputing the whole Proposition unto me Here 's the Appeal made to them that the Postscript mentions and here 's committed to them the two Sections containing an Account of T. H's Forgeries and Perversions for these calls W. P. for Justice against their Unjust Member But alas so far are they from answering his Just Demand that they spare to mention his Complaint as I may hereafter fully demonstrate in its place and shall desend to the second Particular which is 2. The Calling of their Court and Notice to Persons concern'd It is observable that W. P's Books were delivered at their-Meeting-House Doors the 2d of the Moneth called August last which Thomas Hicks intimates in his Relation pag. 3. Epistle Soon after William Penn's Occasions drew him out of London and upon the 10th of that Moneth G. Keith had a Dispute or Conference with T. H. whom T. H. had also traduced and then not a word mentioned of a designed publick Meeting nor till they might be sufficiently assured of the Absence of W. P. G. W. either of them being far Distant and on before-designed Journeys The 19th of that Moneth they leave a Letter with P. Ford directed to W. P. to give him notice of a Meeting the 28th following The 20th P. F. returned Answer Yesterday I received a Letter from you directed to W. Penn concerning a Meeting to be the 28th instant at which you say You Expect Him This serves only to give you Notice that he was gone into the East of England about Three Weeks ago and when his Return will be I know not neither do I know how to give him Notice hereof and therefore I do not see that he is likely to be there except you had been pleased to have appointed a Time when he was in the City or so near that he might had timely Notice of your Intentions If this be designedly done it is not fair but if not the Debate must be suspended till a time in which the Parties concerned with you by mutual Consent agree upon a Time This I thought good to let you know and do judge you ought to let others know it that so Vain-Boasting may be prevented as much as in us lieth which is all from your Friend London 20th of the 6th Mon. 1674. Philip Ford. The Anabaptists sending

this Rate might the Anabaptists argue Is the Light or Spirit of the Almighty God capable of Judgment in the Quakers Sense Ergo we Anabaptists Infallible Judges And their Consequence is no less absurd but it is not to be wondered that they contest so highly for Infallibility when the Credit of all their Procedure pends upon the Reputation of the Judges And what Share of Integrity or Measure of Impartiality these pretended Infallibles have manifested by their answering the Appeal will in measure apear by Inquiry of the Manner and Method of their Procedure which is the next Particular under Disquisition 4. The Method Manner of their Procedure Truly to understand their Meaning by their Words or Intentions by their Expressions other then each are calculated to cheat the Reader and gull their Auditory I find not And how T. Hicks W. Kiffin c. have made as well their Writings published to the World as their publick Speeches at Barbican to serve those Ends of Abuse I may under this Head demonstrate As introductory thereunto I observe in and for what W. Penn appeals for Justice it is particularly to be relieved against T. Hicks's Injustice for 〈◊〉 many Forgeries and gross Perversions particularly charged and plainly demonstrated against him in two Distinct Sections of the Book called The counterfeit Christian detected Vide pag. 28. pag. 40. 2. I observe in W. Kiffin H. Knowls c. their Letter to W. Penn dated Aug. 15. vid. Appeal Ans Epist declare they will hear T. H. both in respect to those Doctrines and Matters of Fact which he in his Dialogue had laid to the Quakers Charge 3. I observe in their Letter of the 23d to J. Osgood they declare the Matter is only Matter of Fact and not of Dispute See Appeal Ans Epist 4. I take notice of the Judicatures Examination and they go principally upon Doctrinals see from pag. 1. to pag. 22. and for Matter of Fact but 10. pag. and in all not W. P's Charges as laid down by him once read in their Assembly But what must we understand will they examine the Forgeries Perversions c. given in Charge will they enter into Doctrinals and Fact or Fact alone none shall know by their Writing but by their Actions 't is manifest they went upon neither fairly but traduced both unjustly Again But W. K. c. in their Letter to J. O. tell us that T. H. his Charge was already exhibited in Print against him and to what End not to be opened or read at the Tryals Who would suppose a Charge Article or Indictment to be exhibited against a Malefactor but to be read against him And what did these Infallible Judges as they term themselves read the Charge of Forgeries and Perversions which W. P had laid down in two Sections of the Counterfeit Christian detected No such Matter Alas these Judges had Ears for their Brother and none for Truth resolves to acquit him though to their Infamy I do demand of W. K. you his Brethren if any Court of Judicature in England should pretend to try a Malefactor and determine aforehand not to hear his Accuser or at Tryal not read his Accusation and yet acquit him would not you brand that Court with Partiality and Injustice I doubt not of your affirmative Answer in this Case This is clearly our Case with the Anabaptists W. Penn charges T. H. with Forgeries Perversions c. demonstrates them in Print as to Manner and Form complains of the Injustice and leaves the particular Sections with the Anabaptists W. K. c. call T. H. before them never read the Charge or required him to answer what VV. P. had particularly laid down against him in those Sections and pass Judgment for his Innocency and our Guilt If this be not Partiality and Injustice I never knew what it was But instead of reading the Charge against him his Liberty is to give it to himself and then acquit himself without Interruption And truly this was not Casual neither or occasioned by W. P's Absence but what they require of him in their Letter viz. to suffer him without Interruption and I think all Men will take it for granted that he would charge himself no more with one Hand then he could ease himself with the other And he who could countefeit a Quaker and frame such Arguments and Discourse for him as gratified his Malice and Envy to answer and make him speak as many horrid Untruths and base Abuses as his villanous Spirit could invent doubtless would never article against himself or exhibit a Charge beyond his Reach of Acquittal I do not believe that one in ten of Forger Cheat Thief or Bloodshed but having such Tems of Tryal could acquit themselves how guilty soever But for T. H. I must say Our English Right is maintained by this Maxime Nemo tenetur prodere seipjum No Man is bound to be his own Accuser And for what T. H has done to clear himself I believe it is no more then the greatest Malefactors would desire in the like Case had they such Brethren for Judges But how equal such Procedure is on the Judges Parts who suffers such unjustice A weak Capacity is able to give a Judgment I doubt not but W. K. c. in the Eye of the Judicious and unbiassed notwithstanding their high claim to Infallibility will appear to be one and Confederate in the Lyes Slanders Forgeries and Perversions of T. Hicks and equally chargeable with them Of which I may now be a little particular from which he has not acquitted himself nay many of them not once mentioned in their pretended Answer to the Appeal 1. In the two Sections of W. Penn's Book titled the Counterfeit Christian detected that charges and proves T. Hicks guilty of many gross Forgeries and Perversions particularly therein expressed as well to Matter as Manner from pag. 6 to pag. 40. in the first of these viz. that of Forgeries no less then eight and of Perversion in the second Section no less then 14. wholely omitted in their late Relation although these are the Abuses W. P. particularly calls to the Anabaptists for Redress vide p. 28. 40. 2. The following Section proving T. H. guilty of Lyes and Slanders he omits no less then eleaven Particulars and the next Section of T. Hicks his Contradictions wholy passed over And of those few Particulars he mentioned in the Barbican-Meeting for the most part so miserably perverted mangled and abused as that they appear in Shapes Forms Dresses far different from what they were laid down and explained in our Friends Books Neither has he been less treacherous in his Answers thereto producing Authorities or Citations from our Books with Sentences mangled Words most material wholy omitted Parts of Sentences cut off and that which is more abusive hath in pag. 24 27. brought Authorities from an Apostate's Pamphlet called The Spirit of the Hat heretofore printed or promoted by their own

Party In this Manner could he deal with us and his Judges wittingly or ignorantly countenancing the same vide Quak. App. Answ pag. 32. Although W. K. c. in their Epistle tell the World That it was the Books of the chief Leaders among the Quakers were produced for T. H 's Discharge Thus far have I been willing to observe ingeneral and am ready to vindicate the Particulars thereof and might now have instanced but that the Books already in Print will largely manifest the same to which I refer the Reader Vid. Count. Chr. detected from p. 6. to p. 54 5. Their Decree or Judgment To find any thing in the pretended Answer to the Appeal or Relation thereof that bespeaks it self a Judgment upon the whole will be beyond the Skill of any of those Judges themselves For their Relation is such a Piece of Mixture of dark Abuse Insinuations and Non constats as if it were and I doubt not but it was forged and calculated for a traducing of Truth and covering of Deceit which comparing in some of many Particulars with their Act at Barbican will casily demonstrate But to their Judgment Our Charge against their Brother is for many Forgeries Lyes and Perversions particlarly charged and proved against him in two Books of W. P. entituled Reason against Railing and The Counterfcit Christian Detected which if not relieved against we should interpret as the Act of the whole Baptists c. vide Appeal Ans Epist So it was as they themselves say their Business to examine whether T. H. was guity App. Ans p. 1. viz. VVhether he has been guilty or not guilty of Lyes Forgeries and Perversions in Manner and Form as W. Penn charged and demonstrated against him But have they given such a Judgment No such Matter they use not to be so plain dealing with the people nor have we such Measure from their Hands although they insinuate that was their Business as pag. 1. App. Ans But instead thereof in a crooked and oblique sort they tell their Reader That T. H. had charged us with several Opinions and produced our Books upon reading of which they found them to agree with what he had laid to our Charge which the following Narrative say they will give a more full Account of So that hitherto say they we see no Cause of just Blame to be laid unto Tho. Hicks And what does his Relation produce touching our Doctrine or his Perversions Forgeries and Slanders not a Sixth thereof mentioned or touched which had our Charge been there producèd would have clearly evidenced to the Shame of their Brother and Confusion of that Judicature And he who will take the Pains to read those Books and compare Thomas Hicks his Charge with his pretended Compurgation may have as large an lustance and as clear a Prospect of as manifest a Cheat under the Covert and Mask of Justice and Religion as our latter Age can produce For as to the particular Points laid down in has Relation they are but a Repetition of some few of his former Abuses which are now repeated without our Answers And our Charges against him of Perversions Forgeries c. wholely omitted The Relation allows W. P. to answer such or such a Particular is a Lye or Forgery or Slander but to tell him how he denyes him Liberty As if a Prosecutor of a Malefactor should be only licensed to acquaint a Court That the Man was a Thief Murderer or Burglar but must not reveal his Fellony Murder or Burglary certainly this would be but a dissicult Way of discovering Offences to punish Offenders But that this has been the Way Method and Practice of VVilliam Kiffin Han. Knowles c. with their Brother Tho. Hicks not only their Procedure at their Judicature in Barbican but the pretended Relation thereof doth fully demonstrate So I shall descend to examine the Consistency of that Relation with it self with Truth and their Carriage at Barbican Observ 1. To Countenance or Colour their Pretence for desire of Justice they give us a Text of Scripture out of Deuteronomy 19.17 18 19 c. If a False VVitness rise up against any man to testifie against him that which is VVrong then both the men between wh●●n the Controversie is shall stand up before the Lord before the Priests and the Judges which shall be in those dayes and the Judges shall make diligent Inquisition and behold if the VVitness be a False VVitness then shall ye do unto him as he had thought to have done to his Brother so shall ye put away the Evil from you Compare this just and equal Law with the Anabaptists Judiciary That when a Controversie was betwixt two the Matters and Charge of both Parties exhibited in Print they in the Absence of one Party without due notice according to common English Right hear one Party only the other Party not heard and then I leave to the Judgment of the Unprejudiced whether this ancient just Law arraigns not their unjust Practice and partial Procedure I cannot but take notice of their willing Omission of that part of the 18th Verse which no less suits the present Occasion though somewhat more distinctly reflecteth on T. H. his Practice against us The words are And behold if the Witness be a False Witness and hath testified falsly against his Brother then c. That he has so testified I doubt not but that his Conscience as well as his Books in Print are a clear Witness and if he Repent not he 'l certainly have the Reward thereof For the Lord is a jealous God and the Lying Tongue and the Heart that deviseth Mischief he hateth Observ 2. In the Title-Page of the Q. Appeal Answered mentioning the Barbican-Meeting say they Wherein the Allegations of William Penn in two Books lately published by him against Thomas Hicks were Answered and Disproved This may serve one sort of Readers to believe all W. P's Allegations and Charges against T. H. were answered and disproved others that part a great or small but might gull most into a Perswasion That W. P's Allegations or Charges against T. H. were at least read before disproved when they were neither truly read nor answered but only some miserably mangled by a Treacherous Hand and so misrepresented and the greater Number and most considerable not once mentioned or touched Observ 3. Tho Hicks bestows a Postscript as an Addition to his former Abuse wherein he attempts to wipe off some Particulars charged upon him and would colourably excuse the Matters The first is for his Abuse in a general Charge against us That we make use of the Scriptures only to Silence them that plead for it as their Rule And for this general Charge he pretends he has instanced one particular Person by whom words of such an import were spoken How suitable his Plaister is to his Sore I leave that to those who will read the Books in Print 't were too tedious here to recite My Intent is but

to shew his genius that charges us with Baseness general pretends to prove it by a Particular and that not by any direct words but words of such an Import I appeal to the Judicious if this be candid Dealing At this rate of Proof and some rebate too 't were easie to prove the Anahaptists in general the most Cruel and Treacherous sort that have appeared in the latter Ages of the World Observ 4. It s of N. Lucas's relating to some words which T. H. variously charges him withal That T. H. his Charge was as false as malicious I doubt not but for T. Hicks his words in the Close of his Paragraph I do assure thee that no such Matter was referred to him had he attested this or such like in a Court of Justice he had scarce excused a Commitment for he who affirms a Negative of Persons and Things acted out of his Presence shews his Confidence but incurr'd Perjury or at least the Demerit of a False Witness for not speaking the Truth of his Knowledge Observ 5. The next Abuse of us T. H. would excuse himself of is this viz. The Tendency sayes he of all the Quakers reasoning about instituted Religion is to debauch Mankind and to teach men to live in Rebellion against God For this he produces W. Penn as he sayes for his Compurgator The Paragraph is large so I repeat it not its Substance is to deny the U●e of Water-Dip●ing or Babe-Baptism and their Bread and Wine term'd un cripturally Ordinances of Christ this T. H. supposes a Proof But certain I am that its easie to prove that the enforcing of these Outward Ordinances as he terms them and the various Opinions thereof each Party pretending no less Authority then the holy Scriptures for his Perswasion has Occasioned by the Papists and Anabaptists in Germany and else-where more Massacries Rebellions Murders and Acts of Cruelty then all other Articles or Opinions in Doctrine and Practice whatsoever So to the Witness of God in the Conscientious Reader do I commit this for Judgment betwixt us and our ábusive Adversary to judge whether he has not rather added to his Abuse then excused it Observ 6. I take notice of his representing an Appeal made by some professed Socinians or in their Behalf and the Answer in Print his Discant thereon complaining That our Friends instead of hearing the Persons grieved c. constitute the Person offending to determine give Sentence in his own Case Such a Procedure as this ayes he I believe is not to be instanced the Quaker excepted among any sort of Men either Christian or Heathen Answ I answer his Complaint from his own Hand First As for their constituting W. P. to Answer the Appeal instead of Hearing the Appealers He tells us in the same page the Answer of our Friends was That William Penn had answered it How then could they constitute him upon the Appeal as Tho. Hicks falsly insinuates to answer when it was answer'd before the pretended Appeal made 2dly As to the Complaint of our not Hearing the Persons grieved and scornfully treating them I answer We scornfully treat no one but they coming to advocate for a Nameless Socinian-Pamphlet we thought it but reasonable to enquire the Author of the Abuse who Jesuit-like had under Coverts and Disguise attempted to assassinate the Reputation of our Religion and Persons such Mascaradoes in Religious Matters we did and do disdain and judged their Missaries unworthy reception and gave the Answer as T. H. recites as their due Demerit And 3dly For passing Sentence without Hearing the Person complained not to be instanced as he sayes among any sort of men either Christian or Heathen us excepted I answer T. Hicks in his very next following words appollogizing for the Barbican-Sentence sayes he It will be requisite and I presume W. Penn hath not Reason to be offended it being his own Method for this once that a Fool be answered according to his Folly Well what would this man have Why so angry at us for doing that for which he justifies his own Party Nay I am sure he has parralell'd our Case with Advantage and that upon his own shewing In short he railes he abuses he contradicts he excuses Not a Case says T. H. to be instanced and presently he gives us one himself which truly puts me in mind of a plain English Proverb very suitable for his learning viz. A Lyar had need of a Good Memory Obs 7. And to verifie this take the last Passage in his Postscript upon his Discant of W. P. telling them that their Appeal did not intend such Power of Judgment in the Baptists that they should try whether Tho. Hicks was guilty and to stand by their Judgment right or wrong upon this T. Hicks runs his Ordinary Course of Mistake and Abuse as if we would judge a Man without hearing and pass a Sentence without Examination and so descends to his Letany saying From such Government and Governour Good Lord deliver me Alas he had wittingly or willingly forgot the End of the Appeal if he return but to his Judges Epistle to their Reader in their dark Representatives thereof he will find our End of Appeal was to know if they would own him and his Work that according we might deal with him and to manifest the Nature and Intent of the Appeal against T. H. see in pag. 22. in the Section of Forgeries charged on T. H. sayes W. Penn And God will require this Wickedness at the Churches Hand to which he relates if they indulge or connive at it See more pag. 33 34. Does any believe it reasonable we should make our Enemies absolute Judges or according to that commen Anglicism Ask a Man whether his Brother he a Thief and submit to his Opinion The Matter in Question was whether they would own him and his Work that we might deal with them separate or as Confederates in Abuse And he that would strain the Appeal further may at that rate make the unconverted Gentiles Judges over Peter and John who appealed to them the Pharisees over Christ in the Parable of the Husbandman and the Men of Israel over the Lord God Almighty who were called to Judge betwixt him and his Vine They are Judges to whom we call for Justice and Judgment which if denyed or not executed we appeal from them and testifie against them and their Judgment so this I affirm is Reasonable Equal and Practicable as well in Religious as Civil Matters as well in Courts Ecclesiastical as Civil so we with W. P. deny their Judgment Concluding with the Prophet's words He looked for Judgment but behold Oppression for Righteousness but behold a Cry Isa 5.7 Observ 7. I observe T. Hicks takes no small Pains in his Postscript to present his Reader with his Willingness of a publick Meeting and Promise of regular Dispute if we will believe the Rules he prescribeth shall be so to him How fair a Disputant and how capable he is for that purpose Time will experience hereafter Surely T. H. hadst thou either regard to Honesty or any Measure of Truth amongst Men thou'lst not have dared so to misrepresent G. W's Dealing with thee about a publick Meeting Certainly thou mayst remember G. W. did first charge thee for Gross Errors Self Contradictions and Forgeries and required an Open Meeting to make it good Didst thou then directly accept of it Thou knowest to the contrary but instead thereof givest thy Six Particulars to thwart his Charge Howbeit G. W. did sufficiently condescend and earnestly endeavoured for a publick Meeting with thee to make good his Charg against thee which thy perverse Delatory Letters to evade his Charge prevented as by the Letters then past betwixt you may be made evident to any unbyassed Mind and Understanding Answerable unto this Account was the Carriage of William Kiffin and his Brethren at Barbican what Pains in our Absence did they take to represent us as Fugatives as Runnagates as Persons not daring to meet them as Persons with whom they had used their utmost Endeavour and Capacity to meet publickly and alwayes by us denyed Thus did they insult and romance behind our Backs when at the same time as I have just Cause to believe they desired nothing less Nay farther such various Reports such artificial Representations such abusive Constructions have they and their Confederates filled the Minds of the Unsteady People as if to Misrepresent to Belye and Slander us were so far from Injustice that 't were their Duty yea meritorious to be found against us in such immoral Practices I grant by Contending alone they have got the Goal a Boy of Seven can do the like at which Achievement they do not a little Rejoyce and Insult and as T. Hicks made a Quaker of his own and baited him for being such these design'd a Meeting for themselves and quarrel because they accomplisht it Mistake me not I intend not to involve all those who are under the denomination of Anabaptists as Actors and Accessaries in this late Abuse But Tho.
