THE Quakers Unmask'd Their Double-dealing and False-heartedness Discovered BY Collections taken out of their own Writings which were Communicated to G. Fox G. Whitehead and others of their Preachers and Leaders WHEREIN May be seen some of their Contradictions Confusions and Temporizing With some Observations thereupon by another Hand ALSO One of the Forms of their Oaths used amongst themselves with their Definition of an Oath Likewise a Letter and Paper formerly sent to the abovesaid G. F. Whereunto are annexed some Remarks c. Also what an Oath is In a Letter to E. S. Esq LICENSED June 19. 1691 The Leaders the Leaders of this People have caused them to Err because they received not the Truth in the Love of it Therefore are they given up to Strong Delusions to believe and to tell Lies The Day is come and now is that the Hidden Things of Esau 's Nature are to be and must be brought to Light O thou Sword of the LORD How long will it be e'er thou be quiet Put up thy self into thy Scabbard rest and be still How can it be quiet seeing the LORD hath given it a Charge LONDON Printed for J. Gwillim over against the Great James in Bishops-gate-street and R. Baldwin in Warwick-lane 1691. The Author of the following Collections to the READER IT can hardly be credited by any the care and fear I have had concerning the said Collections lest they should have become publick in the last two Reigns which I would not they should for the Treasures of this World This is a faithful and true saying whether it can be believed or no. But now Liberty of Conscience being established by Law I gave Ten of 'em i. e. The Quakers Vnmask'd to be shown or sold to any sober Person unto which some of the Leaders of that People have lately put forth an Answer and finding they are so far from acknowledging any thing to be amiss in their said Writings that they endeavour either to cover excuse or justifie them which hath necessitated me to cause them to be reprinted in Quarto that whoever have seen their Answer may if they please compare it with this And notwithstanding I sent them the said Book privately in writing in the year 77. hoping thereby to have prevented their farther exposing others yet about a year after I met with a Book of theirs intitled The Way cast up c. and therein several passages against the Presbyterians accusing them of Rebellions Seditions and Fighting Principles p. 23 52 53 54. And in the year 81. they put forth another Book calling it Peaceable Advice to the Presbyterians c. and therein p. 1. accused them again with the same Principles which being Printed at such a juncture when the Popish Plot was endeavoured to be stifled and turned upon the Protestants caused a great grief not only to my self but to many others some of whom writ to the Quaker's Bookseller desiring they might be stopt considering the season c. But they not prevailing in their Request I bought many of 'em and went to several of their Meetings where I spake these Words viz. I met with one of your Books against the Presbyterians and as a Witness against that Hypocritical Deceitful Daubing Temporizing Spirit that writ it and the Publishers of it I am made to tear it in pieces before you Which having done they threatned to have me called in Question for it c. I say considering these things and that what I had writ to them in private did not hinder them from this continued exclaiming against others about these matters It was thought meet to have 66 of The Quakers Vnmask'd privately printed in Folio which were chiefly intended to be given to some of the said People so that it is plain my purpose and intention therein was only to prevent if possible their doing any more such things for the future but not in the least to expose them to the then Governours who I feared would have been but too severe and too much exasperated against them for it And though I have been made thus to advise and caution them from their running into these and many other Evils which they have run themselves into Yet alas they have slighted scorned and rejected every thing I proposed that might any way have conduced to their present Happiness and everlasting Good which being my chiefest end aim and endeavour whether they will yet hear or forbear I am clear and have that Reward with and in me which no Man non Men can give or take from me J. P. This following was writ by the Person that caused the 66 Books aforesaid in Folio to be printed The Publisher to the truly Christian Reader THE following Tract Providentially coming to my Hand and being desired to Read and Consider it I spent some Hours therein to my no small Consternation upon a double account First That the Land of my Nativity was not long ere this an Aceldama being so generally Apostatized from the Truth and become a second Sodom Secondly To consider That the Principal and Forwardest LEADERS of the People who while Faithful were begirt with the Power and Strength of the Almighty GOD of Jacob and brought to their PISGAH-SIGHT should turn again to their Onions and Garlick throwing by the ROYAL LAW of LIBERTY and Re-espouse Egyptian Bondage What shall we say to these things Oh that the Souls of all that are yet Faithful and have according to their measure been given up to the Guidance of the Spirit would Cry mightily unto the GOD of their Salvation That every one concern'd in the following HURRICANE which they have been formerly warned off in Love and Meekness about four years and half since may remember from whence they are Fallen repent and do their First Works which is the principal End of the Printing hereof that so the Still Voice may be Restored in all our Habitations That all Weapons of War may be turned into Plow-shares and Pruning-hooks and every One confess The LORD is GOD who only must and will be Exalted Amen amen saith the Soul of thy Friend J. G. Note Where any Words are added that were not in the Manuscript or in that Printed they are put in Italick between these Marks excepting 5 short Sentences in Black Letter p. 3 4 5 which were left out for brevity but are now put in only to shew they do not in the least vary the sense as the Quakers alleadge in their Answer no more than any other passage they have mentioned therein does To the Reader The three following Letters were writ to Mr. J. O. The first was Printed the other not First Letter to Mr. J. O. sent with the following Book then not printed I Having been ill and weak in Body near upon a Month it put me upon a deep search and examination concerning the Cause thereof and finding my self clear in HIS sight who justifies in secret I matter not who condemns And now being a little raised
to leave off until they had set up their STANDARD at the Gates of Rome as may be seen in their own Writings here following And yet for them to upbraid others with that which themselves for many years were so deeply concerned and engaged in is such a piece of Wickedness as can hardly be parallel'd by any sort of People professing Christianity This this their Baseness I have in secret acquainted them withal but no Ear or Heed would they give to what I said but still went on in their accustomed manner to Defame such as had not been more engaged if so much as themselves in the late Wars yea and that in the most revengeful and highest aggravating Terms that 't was possible for their Penn to express witness those Words to the Nonconforming Ministers in Answer to Mr. Faldo viz. But why poor Nonconformists after all their Preach'd up Battels Spoils Plunders Sacrileges Decimations c. Again They are true Gospel-ministers whose Gospel is Peace on Earth and Good Will towards Men and not Garments rolled in the Blood of Kings and Princes Rulers and People No Worldly Armies Battles Victories Trophies Spoils Sequestrations Decimations and the like Blood-thirsty and Tyrannical Projects in which John Faldo and his poor Non-conforming Ministers have had their Hands almost over Head and Ears till they had well nigh lost their Ears and their Heads too Much more of this Nature may be seen towards to the latter end of the lesser Column of this Book What People setting these aside could have had the Face and Confidence to have writ such Language as this Certainly not any especially when they themselves had been engaged in the same Cause and Quarrel with those whom they now so much Reproach and Vilifie The Consideration of these things with their pretending themselves to be the Only People of the LORD and of their being the Only Embassadors and Ministers of Christ with the Discharge of my own Conscience put me upon gathering these their Writings together and having them so placed that those of the meanest Capacity may easily discern and see them to be as great Dissemblers Deceivers and Deluders of the People as have appear'd in this our Age. Reader THE first Column is what they writ before the King came in the other is what they writ since his Return and as for the Quotations I have endeavoured faithfulness therein and have cited both Book and Page where their Words may be found but they have left out many Passages and altered several Words that suited not with their Interests and Designs both of E. B's and F. H's in the Re-print of their Works which thou wilt have notice of as thou readest And where I have abbreviated any of their Writings or lest out any of their Words which were not so material to be put in or too large to insert thou wilt find a little stroke thus but have not in the least either wronged the Matter or Sense thereby as thou mayest see if thou peruse the Books I have quoted But before thou proceedest to read farther I am willing thou shouldst hear the Testimony they give of their own Writings viz. If ther you own the Prophets Christ and the Apostles you will own oue Writings which are given forth by the same Spirit and power See G. F's Answ to the Westmoreland Petition p. 30. You might as well condemn the Scriptures to the Fire as our Queries Our giving forth Papers or printed Books it is from the immediate Eternal Spirit of God You are now Answered from the Mouth of the Lord. See G. F. and R. H. Truth 's Defence c. p. 2 104 107. Now if this their Testimony be true then their Writings are to be had in as great and as venerable esteem as the Scriptures or any holy Man's Words are but if it be otherwise then are they Lyars and false Prophets and to be avoided and witnessed against Let these following Collections manifest the Truth thereof And now the time is come that as they have laid open the Deceit Wickedness and Hypocrisie of other Professors that went before them even so must their Deceit Wickedness and Hypocrisie be also laid open For the LORD whom I no Respecter of Persons But who shall live when GOD doth this J. P. Geo Fox's Judgment CONCERNING KINGLY GOVERNMENT Taken out of a Paper of his written to the Presbyterians and Others before the KING was Restored TO all you that desire an Earthly King in England Who profess your selves to be Christians whether Presbyterians or Others Do not the Priests Presbyterians and many of the Rulers cry for an Earthly King And is not this the same Nature the Jews were in And do not they in This Crucifie Jesus Are not all these Elders Christians that will doat so much of an Earthly King Traytors against Christ Now Elders if you say Peter said Honour the King This doth not hold forth that Peter bid them set up an Earthly King over them neither do you read that there were any Earthly Kings since the days of the Apostles but among the Apostate Christians c. And all these Antichrists and Presbyterians imitated Elders over them all Will Christ Reign and these Kings that have been made For Christ is King alone and makes his Disciples Kings to Reign upon the Earth These are true Christians and will these have any more Kings among them but Christ who are Redeemed from the Earth and earthly Kings I say That is the false Church that doth not live upon the Heads of these Kings Such as have the Prophets Christ and the Apostles Words the Sheeps Cloathing but out of the Life and Power that makes such work for an Earthly King Herod the King was Mad at the Child Jesus and sought to slay all the Children in Bethlehem of Judea There is ehe fruits of Earthly Kings and such a King would our false Christians and Elders have The Children of Israel when they grew would have Kings like other Nations that when People were gon from the Lord God then they set up Kings and when the Children of Israel served not the Lord God but went after other gods they desired a King which the Lord gave them in his Wrath Sam. 8. And in this manner Should a King Reign over them the King shall take your Sons and appoint them for his Chariots c. this is the fruit of your Kings The King will take your Fields your Vineyards your best Olive Trees and give them to his Servants this is the Fruit of your Kings c. Ignorant and foolish People that would have a King and Kings since the days of the Apostles The People will not hear when all these Fruits of these Kings are laid down to them But says Christians and false Elders there shall be a King over us and we also will be like other Nations So the Christians go out from Christ and set up Kings like Heathens Hos 13.11 You ignorant and foolish that is
much a Legal Dath as any now in use amongst us THE Quakers Answer to J.S. These Forms of Speeches used by the Apostle and by Jacob and Laban So God is Wituess between me and thee God is my Witness c. are of themselves without the Addition of somewhat more as an outward Sign or Pledge neither Oath or Swearing which somewhat more as an outward Sign or Pledge was that which gave the Denomination of an Oath or Swearing c. Again That the Forms of Speech used by Jacob and Laban and by the Apostles and others of themselves without adding of somewhat more as an outward Sign or Pledge are neither Oaths or Swearing It is worthy Observation that where mention is made of an Oath or Swearing in the Scriptures of Truth there is also mention made of some outward Sign or Pledge which was added to the Forms of Speech by them used which somewhat more being added was that which gave the Denomination of an Oath or Swearing to the Forms of Speech without which addition of somewhat more than Yea or Nay as a Sign or Pledge the Forms of Speech of themselves was neither Legal Oath or Swearing A second Testimony concerning Oaths p. 3 4 5. A Copy of a Letter and Paper mention'd in the Title-page sent to G. F. March 17. 1674 5. I Being ingaged as well as some others to manifest and lay open Deceitful Workers and Hypocrites I am farther to appear and manifest thee to be one of the greatest Hypocrites and Deceivers in this Nation and until thou own thy Condemnation and leave off deceiving the People assuredly the Sword that 's now drawn is not to be nor must not be sheath'd till thou and such Deceivers as thou art be cut down This following I am to send thee concerning which I shall wait some time for thy Answer before it go farther and what thou writest to or concerning me set thy own hand to it and get not others to set their Names to thy words and works of Wickedness as thou hast done Something of G. F's Deceit and Hypocrisie discovered 'T IS not unknown what great Desires and Longings there was in the generality of the People of this Nation in the Year 1659. to have a King by whom they expected to be freed from those Impositions they were under but some others fearing if it were so it would be for the worse caused a zeal in some particular Persons to write against Kingly-Government amongst the rest we find G. Fox who did not only write his own judgment barely as a Man as others did but as a Man of GOD taking upon him to instruct all others put forth a Book the same year 59. entitled Several Papers given forth by G. But is this to render him Obnoxious to the Government no I abhor that Practice but base and self-ended Spirits are to be humbled and not think themselves fit to cry down other Peoples Religion that have by Treachery Persecution and Falseness too much reproached all Religion as saith Judas and the Jews i.e. G. F. c. F. wherein he writes about ten pages against a King and therein tells the Presbyterians c. There was no King owned among the true Christians but only amongst the Apostates since Christ's time That they were Traytors to Christ that desired a King and farther tells them what a King would be to them if they had one repeating those words Samuel spake to the Israelites Then he bids them look what work Joshua made with the Kings that were in the Cave a fit place for them says G. Fox p. 13. But no sooner the Scene of Affairs changed but he changes his Dialect and the very next Month after the King came in he with some others put forth a Declaration and therein they writ That they owned and honoured the King and the present Government yea they had flatteringly writ therein That they were his Loyal Subjects and that they had suffered much as himself had done c. And being called before a Court in Lancashire where the Oath of Allegiance was tendred him he told them that if he could take any Oath in any case he could take that Oath and farther said he honoured all Men much more the King c. What! Is this the Man that said They were Traytors to Christ that desired a King c. and now himself says he honours all Men much more the King c. Oh Strange Is this he that is so highly esteemed and exalted by his Proselites and even adored by some of his * Josi Cole Sol. Eccles c. Preachers who stile him The Father of many Nations That Generations to come shall call him Blessed Whose Being and Habitation is in the Power of the Highest At whose Name the Heathen tremble or were pricked at the Heart †A True Account c. p. 42. The Blessed Man that came out of the North. Who hath been faithful in the Lord's Business from the Beginning That true Prophet whom John said he was not And many more such like Appellations as Innocent Good Holy Vpright Man of God Prophet indeed c. Well but what doth he say of himself viz. That he is beyond the State of the First Adam that fell in the State of the Second Adam that never fell yea that his very Marriage was above the State of the First Adam in his Innocency in the State of the Second Adam that never fell and that he never fell nor changed And yet how hath he turned about with the Wind which he saith they that are in the Fall do and are in the changing changeable ways c. And by his thus turning and changing doth it not manifest him to be in the Fall Fallen and changeable State according to his own Words And yet how far is he from the least acknowledment thereof that he goes on and says He hath power to bind and to loose whom he pleases And takes upon him to make Laws and Orders for People and appoints them Time and Place when and where to Worship yea this is he that presumed to alter or caused to be altered unto which G. Whitehead was Privy the very substance of a Paper that was declared to be writ from the Spirit of GOD and so adulterated sends it beyond Sea which John Osgood William Penington and my self complained of to some of the Chief Preachers but not one of them would or through fear durst say that he had done amiss therein notwithstanding the Forgery was so manifest and the Author said when he came to see it that he was abused in it c. and this coming lately to publick view is still so far from being disown'd or condemn'd that Judas c. endeavours to cover and justifie it with this Saying The Spirit of the Prophets must be subject to the Prophets Oh horrid Impudence and Wickedness not only to commit so great an Iniquity but to bring the Holy Man's words to Patronize and
Justifie such an Enormous Fact Certainly none that truly fears GOD who shall come to the knowledge of these things will either own him to be a Servant or Prophet of the LORD until he come to Repentance for these and other his Wickednesses among the rest that of getting Persons to set their Names to his abusive Papers and Writings and also that of his villifying reproaching and belying those that oppose him how vertuous and innocent soever they be Can any parallel him herein with his and his Adherents late fawning flattering Address to the King and Parliament wherein are these words And the Oaths provided to testifie Allegiance to the King and denial of the Pope's Supremacy in Causes Civil and Ecclesiastical the Refusal whereof incurs a Premunire has been executed upon such whose Hearts and Hands could seal to the Substance thereof And yet their Consciences not allowing them to Swear at all because of the Command of Christ for that Only they have been the sole Sufferers thereby And towards the Close they say That if they be called to bear witness or any Office to or for she King or their Country and testifie their Truth or Faithfulness to one or both in which Cases Oaths are usually required and imposed They desire and request that an Act or Provision might be made That their Yea and Nay may be accepted and taken instead thereof c. Concerning which I shall say little more at present but conclude with a few words formerly writ by another concerning them viz. What will you do You Scribes Pharisees Hypocrites you that have been long making clean the outside of the Cup and Platter but inwardly are as Ravening Wolves your Fruits will make you manifest you Hypocrites your Name will be a stink among the Heathen for the LORD will find you out whose Glory He will not give to any other nor His Honour to any of your Graven Images My Soul loaths all your false Covers ye Hypocrites I cannot but declare against all your false ways J. P. The Days of Visitation are come the Days of Recompense are come Israel shall know it I will recompense them according to the Works of their own Hands They have sown the Wind and they shall reap the WHIRLWIND FINIS For the Preachers and Leaders of the People called QUAKERS YOUR Day into Darkness is turned the Sun is gone down over you You have had a large Day and Power given you to have done the Will of GOD but you have abused the Power and slighted your Day and have refused to do the LORD's Work and have sought your Selves and not the LORD therefore in Justice and Righteousness is the Day wherein you might have wrought for GOD taken from you and the thick Dark Night of Confusion is come upon you wherein you are groping and stumbling and cannot work The DECREE is gone out and it cannot be recalled You are not the Men as ye stand in whom GOD will appear to work Deliverance for His People and yet Deliverance shall come but as for You ye have rejected the Counsel of the LORD and grieved His Spirit and He hath long born you yea You are departed from the LORD and His Presence is departed from You Indeed He hath hewed with You and if you had been faithful to the End He would have honoured and prospered You and have been your sufficient Reward Ye were His AX but you have boasted your selves against Him Therefore as you have hewed and broken others even so must You be hewed and broken O ye Treacherous Wilful Proud Self-seeking People who have despised the Counsel of the LORD and would not take warning though He hath sent His Servants among you some of whom you have despitefully used What will ye do now Whom will you now flee unto for help Seeing you are departed from the LORD Remember your End which hastens greatly Breach upon Breach Division upon Division shall there be until HE come to Reign whose Right it is They that trust in or lean upon You for help it is as if they leaned upon a broken Reed which is not able to help it self nor others You have been made to do many good things but you would not go through with the Work which GOD will have accomplish'd and therefore are these things come upon you Therefore tremble and dread before the LORD Ye who have been as strong Oaks and tall Cedars for now shall your Strength fail you and you shall be weak even as the weakest of Men But if you would yet submit to GOD's righteous Judgments you might come to witness your Souls saved in the DAY of the LORD though many are to be thrown by because of grievous Backslidings as not counted worthy to be the LORD's Workmen There is a small Remnant yet among you for whom my Soul breaths who may be Winnowed out and if they will own the Judgments of the LORD and truly and throughly deny themselves and sollow His Leadings He will heal their Backslidings but they that will continue with you in your Sins shall partake with you of your Iudgments The foregoing Words excepting the Title were writ by another 1659. to the then Rulers upon whom they were fulfilled and so as certainly shall they be fulfilled upon you J. P. This was Printed and given them in April 1673. much of which being already fulfill'd and believing the remainder will in its appointed season causeth me to have it reprinted and placed here that whoever reads and considers it as also what W. R. F. B. T. C. W. M. and others have written concerning them may plainly see they have been warned of their great Apostacy and Downfal many years agoe SOME REMARKS Upon a Book entitled Christ's Lambs defended against Satan's rage c. Being the Quakers Answer to The Quakers Vnmask'd c. In a Letter to E. S. Esq SIR HAving had the curiosity and opportunity of reading The Quakers Vnmask'd Their Double dealing and False-heartedness discovered c. I thought it impossible for the Quakers to vindicate themselves from that Authors Charge which made me desirous to read their Answer and having perused it I can scarce forbear to Remark some few Passages which are clear Confutations of their boasted Innocency Plainness and Christian Charity In the Advertisement to the Reader G. Whitehead takes notice that The Quakers Vnmask'd c. was sent them in Manuscript in the year 1677. and that Liberty of Conscience being established by Law and placed upon the Book in writing is the cause of its now publication Which says G. W. looks as if he envyed our present Liberty Behold the Spirit of this Answerer Mr. Pennyman kept his Books unpublished for 13 years together lest it might be any occasion of the Quakers Persecution but when Liberty of Conscience is established by Law he publisheth 10 or 11 of them presuming there is now no danger of their being persecuted Does this look as if he envyed their present Liberty and
not rather that he was glad of it as no doubt he is In p. 6. to the Reader Our Adversary again p 14. says he deals very unfairly and unjustly by G. W. about some of our Friends saying They give forth Writings from the immediate Eternal Spirit of God and by the same Spirit and Power that was in the Prophets Christ and his Apostles unto which he falsly addeth And their so speaking G. W. saith is of as great Authority as the Scriptures and Chapters are and greater his words and their so speaking are J. P's own Abuse and Perversion Now I beseech you Sir read the Passage in p. 14. and see wherein J. P's Abuse and Perversion lies It lies in this that he added these words and their so speaking and did not put them in a different Character to distinguish them from G. W's words though they did not alter the sense at all if you leave them out the Passage is as much to the same purpose as if they were in Did ever any Writer charge his Adversary with Abuse and Perversion upon so slender an account What an affront is it to the simple-hearted Reader to write at this rate This is the Man that in his Letter to J. O. threatens Mr. P. farther to detect and unmask him if he will not be reduced to Christianity Does he mean by Christianity Quakerism which it seems teaches him to use the basest Equivocations and Slights that can be found in any Writer Of his Book p. 3. He utterly denies it as a Slander that the Quakers formerly exhorted Men to fight and would fight themselves I must refer you to The Quakers Vnmask'd c. to judge whether that is a Slander or not It will abundantly satisfie you whilst you understand their Writings in the plain honest sense of the Words without their after Equivocations J. P cites one of the Quakers Ministers saying We directed all People to the Spirit of God in them and if that led them to fight I had nothing against it for this saith G. W. he quotes fol. 4. but tells us not what Book But why did he not tell J. P so 13 years ago when he desired to know what Errors they sound in the Quotations if there were any however to satisfie him that it was a true citation he took it out of the Quakers Book where Foreign Letters were recorded which was first in J. O's custody and afterwards in J. P's P. 4. The Quakers tell Rich. Protector ' That he would walk with the Lord and preserve his People then thy Name shall be greater than was the Fathers and the numberless number of this Now distressed People will be unto thee a strength and stand by thee and Defend thee and thy just Government Sir If you had been Protector I persuade my self you would have thought these People would have fought to defend you and your Government But whatever they or you thought then the meaning now is according to G. W. c. they would defend him and his Government By Righteousness Prayers and Faith and by Contributions Taxes c. or the fear of the Lord as in the days of Jehosaphat Would you not judge that Man perjured that should swear Allegiance in such terms with such a meaning And must we not take the Quakers words for as binding as an Oath Next p. 5. you will please to note what G.W. Answers to the Charge of upbraiding others with that which themselves for many years were as deeply concerned and ingaged in c. To all which saith G. W. I do conscientiously Answer He hath most grosly and palpably belyed the People called Quakers in these Passages divers ways First in rendring them without exception of Persons not only Justifiers of the late Wars and what had been done therein without exception of things done but also equally concerned with the Presbyterians Independents and others therein But do the Quakers when they charge these things upon the Presbyterians c. make any exception of Persons or Things And yet it is well known and it is proved out of their own writings in The Quakers Vnmask'd c. that their Chief Leaders approved of the greatest things done in the late Wars against the King and to his Person whereas the Presbyterians generally dis-approved of them Besides they say their giving forth Papers or Printed Books is from the immediate eternal Spirit of God and that their Preachers are guided by an Infallible Spirit and that they are of one Mind and Judgment and the like and therefore an indefinite and general charge will affect them more generally than other Parties G. W. says p. 6. The War began in 41. and in 48 the King was Beheaded and all this while no Quakers heard of till about 50.51 52. when there was no Wars in England for them to be concerned in how false then is J P. to say The Quakers were as much or more concerned in the War against the King as any others But G. W. confesses that divers who have been since and now of us Quakers have formerly been concerned in the late Wars And J. P. has made evident their approbation of what was then done and that many that turned Quakers in the Armies continued there till they were turned out that the Protector is blamed for putting them out by G. Fox and others that they are called Sober Men and true Hearts that feared God and trembled at His Word valiant Captains Soldiers and Officers it may be for saying thou to a single Person or for wearing their Hats c. the distinguishing Characters of Quakers from others Whereas he says there was no Wars in England in 50.51.52 it is a piece of his cunning and is false for Worcester Fight was in the year 51. and Sir George Booth's Insurrection in 1659. when the Quakers gave intelligence calling them Rebels for but endeavouring to bring in the King and for some years there were Wars both in Scotland and Ireland and upon the Sea and in Flanders See E. Burrough's Alarm Sounded c. 1659. The Quakers Vnmask'd c. p. 6. 9. You see then how G. W's Answer is both false and deceitful P. 7. 8. G. VV. charges J. P. with an apparent lye in saying the Quakers had been engaged in the same Cause so as to Preach up Battels c. But I pray Sir what difference is there between Preaching up Battles c. and exhorting Generals Officers and Soldiers to go forth against mighty Enemies till they had subdued them and set up their Standard a top of Rome and done many other things which were to be done by Fighting And that in the Quakers Spirit See E. B's Alarm Sounded c. p 28. P 9 10. G.W. Commends the Quakers for their forbearance towards J. P. and is confident that had J. P. look'd upon them as Fighters c he durst not have adventured to have given them such frequent and publick occasions of provocations and frequent disturbances and interruptions
