Or, A brief reply to his unchristian account of some passages of Providence By a friend to truth, and to Mr. Tillam's own soul, if God have not sealed him down under hardness of heart. Written for the sake of such poor honest souls in Colchester, and the parts adjacent, as are misled through his inchantments.

one to anther Wherefore we have put him away from us and shall have no communion with him that he may be ashamed This from his own words and this was done deliberately after much scanning by a whole Church Thirdly there are many manifest lyes in this his book as that Mr. Hammond was Vicar of Newcastle which he writes to disgrace Mr. Hammond whereas he is only Lecturer and Teacher to a Congregational Church and absolutely refused to be Vicar which Mr. Tillam cannot but know being so oft conversant in Newcastle Fourthly another abhominable lye against that Reverend Man in these words whither have those surseiting feasts of Newcastle saith he transported Mr. Hammond how strangely have those luxurious banques increased choler in this corpulent Gentleman For besides the odious contempt in the manner of his writing which he casts upon this faithfull servant of Christ so much beloved and honoured by the Saints he most impudently and palpably slanders him for intemperance for all Newcastle knoweth that though Mr. Hammond be often and earnestly invited to Feasts yet he hath absolutely refused to avoid all occasions to come at any feast great or small to one or other for these two years together except at one time that was unavoydable Fifthly he boldly vaunts that God made himself an instrument of detecting the false Jew wherein besides that vain-glorious vapouring in assuming to himself what is not due he tells a most manifest falshhood for it 's notoriously known to Mr. Goe Dauson Mr. Hammond Mr. Durant and others that he did what he could when they were about convincing the false Jew to defend him and harden his heart till they were all grieved and ashamed at his practice Sixthly another falshood that Mr. Hammond was basfled in the dispute about Baptism which impudency of his is stupendious for above a hundred persons present will witness the exceeding freedom of Mr. Hammond whose arguments were as a Rod held over him all the dispute and that Mr. Tillam to his utter confusion if he could tell how to be ashamed was so non-pluss'd and baffled to purpose that one of his own party was driven to confess it to chide him off take up the bucklers whiles all the time after Mr. Tillam sate dumb which calls to mind a seventh lye He told Mr. George Hodshan when he came first into the North that he was for the Baptism of the Infants of Beleevers when it manifestly appears he was at the same time an Anabaptist per me Geo. Hodshan Lastly for a full conviction of his lyes see the bundle of urtruths written by the Newcastle Ministers against Mr. Tillam Now this Lying is such a sin as it makes a man so unlike God into whose image all his children are cast and so like the devil who is the Father of lyes and so unlike the Saints who are a generation that will not lye Isa 63.9 that it deserves the heaviest censure of Excommunicaon Rev. 22.15 Without the new Jerusalem shall be dogs and whoremonges and murtherers and idolaters and whosoever loveth and maketh lies See Mr. Tillam what copesmates Lyars are matched withall and what is their censure and yet you are angry with the Church at London for rejecting you for lying and giving you no warning whereas the Rule it self you see gives no such direction for any warning but it being once proved as it seems the London Church averred you were to be presently sent without among the dogs 4. observe his proud boasting and vaunting high language almost in every page of his book and indeed all his writings and actings doe fulsomly tang of that spirit In the front of his book he begins Thanks to my Lord and King who hath enabled me so that he counted me faithfull putting me into the Ministery Which are the words of the greatest Apostle on earth and that in the height of his zeal yet this man dares apply them to himself which I beleeve never any Minister that knows himself dares noce doe So that he is if you will beleeve him an able Minister a faithfull Minister and as he saith afterwards a welling Minister and a Minister that labours with his whole soul in the work whereas humble spirits are ever fearfull to think highly of themselves much more to lift up themselves in print by vapouring tearms and high titles Furthermore you have him ever and anon vaunting of the multitude of his hearers and followers great success in his Ministery in every place that he could gather a Church of Saints in a years space in such or such place where he came which by the way shews his doctrine and practice very suitable to carnall hearts that can so easily take with him in all places where hee comes whereas the doctrine of the best Minister under heaven is so cross to corrupt nature that it cannot be digested but his doctrine and opinions goe glib down and can bring in souls tiick and threefold 't is but touch and take And I cannot omit how often this poor man boasTs in high language of his sufferings and calls them sufferings for Christs sake and for his names sake and all in obedience to him whereas presumptuous man thou maist know it was all along for thy faults scandals lyes turbulency faction and disembling from the first till now Was it for Christs sake thou wert given up to Satan by the Church of Wrexam Was it for thy good deeds thou wert condemned by the Church in Cheshire Was it for the honour of Christ that the Church in London rose up against thee and the three Ministers in Newcastle writ against thee was it nor for a lye maintained against so many evidences and hast thou the face to father all thy wretched dealings on Christ wil he maintain thee in a course of sin and crown thee for it what tender heart can digest such impudency and hypocrisie 5. Observe what contempt scorns and base calumnies he all along his book casts out again all that stand in his way be they never so holy never so many be they godly Saints Ministers whole Churches all is one if they speak or a against him the sparkles of his anger in a vile contemptuous manner shall fly in their faces this is the very spirit of his Book So like the Dragon he spews out whole floods of contempt to drown them and their reputations if he could to instance but in two or three particulars 1.

Then again how he reproaches the Church at Newcastle because they articled against him page 19. 3. Then when London Church Excommunicated him see his shamefull reproaching of them as acting irregularly and
