then impose it on all the Meetings in these Three Provinces when most of the Friends thereof are great Strangers to the Matter in Controversie not knowing which Party is in the right but they must take the said Judgment upon trust from them without enquiring into the Cause and Verity thereof and where they think their said Judgment will not readily be swallowed down they will follow it from Meeting to Meeting clothed with their Magistratical Robes and if any Friends shew their dislike of having it imposed on them without their own consent and consideration of the matter presently threaten to bind them to the good Behaviour and to the Peace and call out for a Constable thereby endeavouring to trample us down by their Magistratical Power and Authority as Samuel Jenings Sam. Richardson Thomas Lloyd John Delavall and Anthony Morris did lately at a Monthly Meeting near Frankford as is well known to many Oh! whither do you think these things will run Will it not give People just cause to say The Quakers are turned Persecutors but our Trust and Confidence is in the Lord alone who hitherto has pleaded the Cause of the Innocent and carried his People through all the Powers and Oppositions that have hitherto risen up against them in all Ages and we doubt not but he will do the same for us as we keep faithful to him and to the Guidance of his Holy Spirit Light and Life in our Hearts But are these your Proceedings Christian or Protestant-like Or do they not rather relish of rank Popery for the Clergy or them of the Ministry to impose their Edicts on the People without their enquiring into the matter Is not this blind Obedience Is not this believing as the Church believes in order to bring in Ignorance the Mother of Devotion Oh! who but ignorant and blind Men but can see these things And yet now will ye stand in them O ye Unjust Judges will ye not be willing to answer our just Complaint for a Hearing Will you come short of the Justice of the Baptists who admitted of another Meeting for a Hearing But perhaps you will say The Act of that Meeting was Infallible being made up of such a Body of the Ministry as Arthur Cook said lately in the House of G. K. That a Yearly Meeting could not err But we desire to hope that some of you will better consider of it and answer our just Complaint and not lurk in Holes and Corners but come openly and defend your selves and repent of the Error and false Doctrine you have run into and let a Time and Place be appointed and agreed on by both Parties for a Publick Hearing If you have Truth and Justice on your side come forth and let it appear before the World and say not That such and such things are false but prove them to be so and bring things to the light and let not Christ's words be fulfilled on you viz. You hate the Light because your Deeds are evil c. Say not that we are bold and daring thus to challenge you for it 's not writ in a presumptuous Spirit as relying on our own Strength or Parts but on the Lord alone on whom is our Dependance and who knows the Innocency of our Cause and therefore we are not afraid to bring it to the Test but willing to appear openly as hitherto we have done in Print and not as your Practice is to report false things secretly abroad which we know not whom to fasten upon but what we publish in Print remains to be the Author's whether true or false If false why don't you refute it the Press is free and open for you as for any But the matter in our late Printed Books is true and stands over your Heads and which you will never be able to refute But next let us enquire What have you condemned G. K. for Some of you say Partly for matter of Doctrine and partly for hard Words But as for Doctrine you have not mentioned what it is and as for the hard Names you mention it is made appear in The Plea of the Innocent c. that they were justly given by G. K. to them that deserved the same But have his Opposers given no hard Names no unjust and false Reflections Yea many But why only then must G. K. be condemned and not they also who have given hard Words and false Names to G. K. When G. K. complained against them for not giving Judgment against W. Stockdale's Blasphemy Samuel Jenings could excuse it by bringing the Example and Practice of worldly Courts saying George thou hast reviled thy Brethren and in Court we allow of Discount So that according to S. Jenings W. Stockdale's Blasphemy must be discounted against G. K.'s reviling his Brethren as they account it but can never prove But if Discount be allowable in this case why are not G. K.'s hard words discounted against those that have been given to him so far as they will reach And that it may appear what hard Names have been given we think fit here to mention viz. They say G. K. has called them 1. Fools 2. Ignorant Heathens 3. Infidels 4. Silly Souls 5. Lyars 6. Hereticks 7. Rotten Ranters 8. Muggletonians They of the other side have called G. K. 1. Brat of Babylon 2. Accuser of the Brethren 3. Apostate 4. Worse than Prophane 5. A Troubler of the Church 6. A Person that no one could have difference with but he was in danger of the Life of his Soul 7. A Preacher of two Christs 8. A Teller of an old St. Andrew 's Story 9. Pope 10. Father Confessor 11. Lyar. 12. Devil 13. Muggletonian 14. Compared him to a Wolf Tyger c. 15. One that always endeavoured to keep down the Power of Truth 16. A more vexatious Adversary than Hicks Faldo Scanderet or the worst of Enemies 17. One that is fallen upon the soaring Mountains c. 18. As a Man slain 19. Become treacherous to the Spouse of his Youth 20. Fallen from his first Love 21. Gone into a Spirit of Enmity Wrath Self-Exaltation Contention c. 22. Foaming out his own Shame 23. A Person without the Fear of God before his Eyes 24. Letting loose the Reins to an extravagant Tongue 25. Broken out into many ungodly Speeches railing Accusations passionate Threatnings being Cruel c. like an unwearied Adversary With many more that can be proved Now let the impartial Reader judge which have exceeded in hard Words and whether they are not very partial to pass by all that hath been said against G. K. and condemn him for what he hath spoke in its right place as is made appear in the Book called The Plea of the Innocent And yet when G. K. was the Complainer for many Months for Justice to be done to Truth they could plead for Discount and put Blasphemy against Christ Jesus in the Ballance against Reflections upon themselves and yet now will not discount for hard Words And
