A STOP TO THE False Characterizers Hue-and-Cry And a Reproof to their Unfruitful Works of Darkness Wherein the Folly of B. C. and L. K. is Greatly Manifested AND THEIR Malice Envy DETECTED The Soul of the Wicked desireth Evil his Neighbour findeth no favour in his Eyes Prov. 21.10 Wrath is cruel and Anger is outragious but who is able to stand before Envy Prov. 27.4 Vpright men shall be astonied at this and the Innocent shall stir up himself against the Hyprocrite The Righteous also shall hold on his way and he that hath clean hands shall be stronger and stronger But as for you all do you return and come now for I cannot find one wise man among you Job 17.8 9 10. Printed by Andrew Sowle in the Year 1685. To Faithful Friends or others that make a Profession of Truth unto whose view the Pamphlet called The Libeller Characterized hath or may come Friends BEfore we give a particular Answer to the several parts of the fore-mentioned Pamphlet we think it needful to give some Account both why we have for-born to Answer in hitherto and why we have undertaken to answer it now and the rather L. Key whose Name is to the greater part thereof doth in his second and third Pages say That the Observations and Queries made publick were long since delivered to some of the formal Preachers in Reading but no Answer given to them Now as for the Observations he mentions we saw them not till they were Printed The Queries we acknowledge were sent to us in Manuscript inclosed in a Letter from him bearing date the 7th of the 12th Moneth 83. On the 5th of the 1st Moneth following Benjamin Coales his Confederate in this Work had finisht his Hue-and-Cry ready to be made publick and on the 2d of the 2d Moneth L. K. had concluded his whole Work for the Press as by the several Dates thereof appears So that the time his Impatience complains of as long was less then two Moneths and it appears by the date of the Hue-and-Cry that there was preparation made for Printing soon after the Queries were sent to us And therefore if he urges our not answering his written Queries as the Ground or Reason of his Printing them he dissembles and is not plain Now the plain Reason why we did not answer those Queries of his at that time was the Injustice and unfair dealing we had met with from L. K. and some others that took part with him for besides his reading a Paper of his own again●t some of us he refusing with his Company to suffer an Answer to be read thereto he had before this sent a Letter to one of us namely William Lamboll to which W. L. gave him an Answer in Writing sealed which Answer soon after L. K. had received he tore into pieces sealed as it was without so much as looking into it to see or take notice what was written therein Which rude unreasonable and unmanly Act of his the Fruit of a froward peevish Mind and of a Head-strong ungoverned Will made us think it not worth our while to write Answers to be tore in pieces without being read This was the Reason why we then for-bore to answer his written Queries which we willingly submit to the Judgment of Truth in every honest Friend whether he had not thereby given just cause so to do And we leave it to the Witness of God in every upright Heart whether L. K's publishing what he hath done to the World doth not proceed from the Spirit of the World and savour more of Strife and Envy than of Peace and true Christian Charity And whether he hath not hereby added a further proof of Friends Charge against them of the same Spirit with himself namely that they are the first Publishers of Differences in Print And if any should question Why we have not answered the Pamphlet sooner after it was printed Our answer is his Impatiency considered we therein followed them wise man's Counsel Prov. 26.4 we were not willing to be hasty upon him with an Answer but to give him time to consider at leisure of that which he had hastily and forwardly done desiring if it would have been that he and all others concerned with him in Speaking Writing and Printing against the Truth and People of the Lord might have received in themselves that sentence of Condemnation that 's due to their evil undertaking that from a sence thereof they might have repented of what they had done and of their own accord have called in their envious and naughty Pamphlet but instead thereof after we had waited some Moneths finding the said L. K. to be very busie and forward in spreading his mischievous Pamphlet abroad in City and Country and observing him to grow more confident lofty exalted and conceited than before and having of late received from him another Paper in Writing and of like tendency with what he hath Printed in which he presses earnestly for an Answer but it being not made publick shall take no more notice of it here but say as we said before observing him still to grow more confident lofty c. We remembred what the Wise Man said Prov. 26.5 For which cause partl● but principally for the sakes of such who through weakness and want of due consideration may upon the first view of his Queries and Observations according as they are represented by him be in danger of being misled to think otherwise of things then in truth they really are or that by our altogether being silent any should conclude what L. K. hath written is justly charged upon us the following Answer is now made publick by us Reading the 25th of the 2d Moneth William Lamboll John Buy THE False Characterizers Hue-and-Cry stopt c. Benjamin Coale and Leonard Key VVE have read and examined your railing Pamphlet which you call The Libeller Characteriz'd or a Hue-and-Cry sent after him c. In the first Page whereof and in several other parts of it you charge some whom you call An envious Person or Persons with abusing several honest men by sending great Packets by Post thereby as you say not only putting them to considerable Charges but also abusing several with scurrilous Language and Falshood What have been sent by Post to you or others of what Contents or from whom we neither know nor think our selves concerned to enquire sure we are you never received any such from us And if any such Packets have been sent you by any Body else it seems so far as we can gather from your Words to have been some of your own printed Books or Papers that have been written and publisht by your selves or some of your partakers and have been returned to you again for you mention printed Books writ upon between the Lines and wrapt up in a blank piece of Paper And surely if it were so 't is strange you should send forth a Hue-and Cry after him that helpt you to your Goods again
