Warning c. they say could people hear the cry of Thousands out of the Pit of Damnation they would here others thus lament Presbyterians and Independants under the Notion of Gospel-ministers were the Men that seduced us hither This is say they the cry of Thousands of our dear Countrymen This was in 1675. for the Episcopal Clergy they had Damned them years before But this shews you are well acquainted in Hell but altho' I dare not pretend to be so conversant with Hell as you yet have cause to suspect that you forge false intelligence from thence for you who are so accustomed to abuse both living and dead may be thought to do the same here also and I rather think there is and will be more there so crying against your Idols of Jealousie Fox and Whitehead c. and that it's Fox's blasphemous lying Spirit as was in your brother Foxonian Priest Solomon Eccles that lying Prophet of yours that hath influenc'd you to invent and print this envious Slander against the Protestant Ministers to gratify your elder Sister Rome and this shews that you are hers if not the Devils as you charge Mr. Pennyman Factors Porters and Agents to promote spread and vend her Wares and that you agree and like well her contempt of the Protestant Bible and the Ministers and if all Rome and your own hellish Names be not enough you will to help out forge news from the Pit of Damnation also to help and altho' you seem to envy against your elder Sister Rome it 's for Preheminence because you must be exalted above all But you like well and take her part in defaming the Protestant Religion Bible and Minister nay you are so Brazen-fac'd as to inform against a Protestant Minister G. G. for as you say praying for Oliver's Army sent to high Spaniola thus Lord bless the Army of the Lamb against the Beast and give them success and you term him notorious lying Prophet possess'd with a Legion of lying Spirits and in the conclusion warn People against the Presbyterian and Independant Ministers in general as the Plague But why are you so angry I find it 's because they had subscribed to an Epistle wrote in recommendation of a Book of J. ●aldoes in discovery of your Errors But have not you here recommended this wicked Work J. C.'s Book wherein is this contempt on the Protestant Religion and Bible c. as a Brazen-fac'd false and perverse corrupt and unjust Book and the whole Generation of English Protestants For after many of your hellish characters of Witches c. given them there then say you if the Teachers be such what must the Protestants themselves be c. Your espousing and recommending this and your own Defamations are of much worse consequence to the Protestant Religion than theirs was to Quakerism or than W. Bradford's printing for G. K. whom you imprisoned and took away his Goods but in these afore instances you have proved your selves no Friends but Enemies to the Protestant Bible and Ministers And surely it 's high time for all Protestants to have a care of Rome at home i. e. the Foxonian Quakers for an Enemy within is much more dangerous than at a distance But let 's examine whether you Foxonian Quakers are not guilty of owning Oliver's Army as well as G. G. whom you so maliciously inform'd against or at least what may amount to as much There is enough afore quoted of yours against Hereditary Government c. and to O. C. say you in your Book good counsel c. several Soldiers have been turned out what should they do there if as you say you deny all outward Fightings with outward weapons for any end or pretence whatsoever compare this and others of yours before 1660. and your fallacious pretence to the King but you have a reserve in your last yearly White-hart-court Conclave you may by the Authority of that reassume these or the contrary which you please of your Ancient Testimonies again For indeed most of your flattering Addresses and pretended ownings of the King c. are as fallacious and squinting as your confessions of Faith for any one may make such a submission to a company of House-breakers when they have bound him and his Family or to any Pirates when by them at Sea overcome and taken there is something of God in it and in such fallacious general terms as they would have put of the Parliament with when their act about Swearing was in hand but the weakness of it was shewed them and they advised how to amend it which was done when they see their squinting one would not do And I find little in all their ownings of King Charles II. but if ever the 1648 cause should come in fashion but that they might reassume all their Ancient holy Testimonies against King Lords and Bishops in the beginning their terms are so loose and general they will serve for the Turk or Pope c. as appears by their using their squinting term Cesar in Queen Marys Life but to shew the Quakers owning Ol. C's power for which they inform against the Ministers say they to him He God gave thee the Necks of Princes to tread on and their Dominions to inherit and thou an Instrument in his hand was ordained mark that to lead forth a People whom he blessed with thee was not this the Army against a cruel People and Oppressors who exercised Tyranny until they were taken away the King and his Party and cast out and is a reproach unto the Lord and his People themselves unto this day Much more I could recite but this proves their owning Ol. Crom. Army as well as G. G. whom they term a lying Prophet possess'd with a Legion of lying Spirits but he was a Protestant Minister and they be all such with them But they may pretend it 's not for going against the Spaniards as G. G.'s was that we owned him Ol. Crom. but it was in his being against the King Lords and Bishops which you owned and encourag'd him in which was as bad but for your owning of Ol. Crom. against the Spaniards you say to him concerning the Armies and War in Spain there is something in it known to the Lord make no Covenant with Idolators And again say you concerning the Armies abroad is of great concernment to thee to stand or fall thro' them as to man's Account and the War against Spain be faithful to God in it a true gipsy Prophet and whether he deserved a Prophet or a Gipsy's reward judge But how this agrees with their novel fallacious pretence 1660. aforementioned which Fox's Name is to and 11 more and yet this Fox encourag'd Oliver saying to him Friend thou should'st have invited all Christians that are against Popery to thee Again invite all that profess against the Pope in all Nations to joyn with thee against him c. But these and much more they have left out in the reprint But it 's
