Reading where four were sent to two Persons in eight days time and charged 3 s. 8 d. to be paid by them they were sent to and many more have come to this Town since besides what have been sent to other Places 10 thly And are these the Fruits of a Christian Spirit or from them that are Apostatized from it Let any that have any understanding of the Things of God Judge 11 thly And have not you according to your Power been like them before mentioned considering your standing in giving bad Names both in your Prayers and also Preaching calling such dark Spirits that cou●d not joyn with you about your Forms and that they were gone in the way of Cain and many such like Expressions and have you not endeavoured to make the People believe it when you know in your Consciences that many that you so brand are blameless both in Life Conversation and Doctrine 12 thly And was it not the Elders of Israel in days that are past that gave unrighteous Judgment and did condemn the Innocent And hath it not been so in our days Witness the Paper that was signed by 66 against their innocent Brethren in the North And may not the same Cry be sounded in this our day as was then in the Ears of many Return return to the place of Judgment Even to that Principle that was first preached which was the first and will be the last 13 thly When David kept to the Spirits teaching did not he say O Lord thou hast made me wiser than all my Teachers and thy Word is a Light to my Feet and Lanthorn to my Paths And this teach't him to order his Conversation aright and it is the same at this day and will remain for ever 14thly And is not the Lord God who hath an All-seeing Eye appeared and made known himself in this our day for this very end according to his Promise to gather a People to himself from all the Lo-heres and the Lo-theres as hath appeared and is bringing them to wait upon him who is feeding all that do truly hunger after him with that Bread that doth truly satisfie their longing Souls and all such as they abide under his Teaching need go no more forth blessed and praised be his everlasting Name for ever 26 th 11 th Mo. 1683. L. K. Here follows the words of the Nameless Author written in the Title Page of the Relation of Loveday Hambly deceased and sent to B. C. Viz. Ben. Coale Here is a Paper of thine where thou applauds with many frothy Expressions L. H. and saith Her Table was plentifully spread It is like so makes thee so to applaud her hath she not given thee some great Legacy for thy Funeral Sermon Hadst thou or you Authority to Print M. D. F. S's Letters Ye tell of her good Works and Charity and is that the Cause that ye do so so applaud her the Papists will do the same But are you in the Spirit of Good Works and Charity or Evil Hast thou not cryed Peace to such as put in thy mouth and oppose such as stand against thy wilful peevish Spirit for want of Charity but thou wouldst appear to be somebody and to make a noise in Print with thy tinckling Cymbals and sounding Brass as thou dost in Meetings Why did not you Print how you shut the Women's Quarterly-Meeting out of their Meeting House and shut the Quarterly Men's-Meeting out of the house at Blewberry and they were fain to meet at an Inn and A. Estmead nailed up their Meeting-House Door at Calne and they were fain to meet in the Street and the Women fain to meet in a Malt-House Is this your Liberty of Conscience and Works of Charity to keep People out of their Property or the Persecuting Spirit of the World cloakt with Liberty Hath J. S. and J. W. taught you this Doctrine Is this as it was in the Beginning He that sitteth in Heaven will break your Bands in sunder and laugh you to scorn whose Babel and Folly is manifest to all men that know you and will be rewarded according to your Works Isai 48. 8. I knew thee that thou wouldst deal treacherously Observe B. C. gave a short Testimony with some others in Print relating to the Life and Death of his old Mistriss L H. and spake something of her Praise whom he knew to be worthy thereof living a Servant with her some years as appears more at large in that Paper given forth on her behalf which the Reader may do well to see and then may better take notice of the Envy and Mallice that hath appeared by the Nameless Author of the Packets he saith Here is a Payer of thine where thou applandest with many frothy Expressions L. H. Which is wrong in this Formal Apostate so to say and for B. C's saying Her Table was plentifully spread he said no more than he knew see the Paper and Judge and if she had given him a Legacy as he scoffingly saith he had better deserved it than some others that used to be frequent at her Table and they can do no less but say if they speak true as B. C. hath done although what he hath said could not be for any great Legacy or for her Funeral Sermon as the Nameless Author scoffingly saith for he wrote nothing as I know of till she was dead a●● if she gave him any thing it could not be for that for she knew not 〈◊〉 Observe This Lybeller seems to be offended and saith Hadst 〈◊〉 or you Authority to Print M. D's and T. S's Letters Answer There is no Question to be made of that but the Reader may observe th●● what was Printed was not stamped by the Second-days Meeting and some may be so foolish as to say It was out of the Vnity and did not this make him to compare it with the Papists But I think many of them will hardly do as he hath done in sending great Packets by P●st to put honest men to Charge and conceal their Names as he hath done his and must needs be talking of Charity and tells of Tinkling Cymbals and Sounding Brass but what this Formal Apostate hath done makes but a bad Sound And why did you not print saith he how you shut the Women's Meeting out of their Meeting-House and shut the Quarterly Mens-Meeting out of the House at Blewberry and they were 〈◊〉 to meet at an Inn. Answer If it were so the Friends at Blewberry can give the best account why it was so It is a sign they were a 〈◊〉 of such Company that use to frequent such Meetings of late days which made it their Business to brawl and contend against honest Men 〈◊〉 had been and are serviceable in their day too much of this I have seen and do not speak by Hear-say This Nameless Author saith 〈◊〉 Estmead nailed up their Meeting-House Doors at Calre but 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 was so or no I shall have it it being without the Compass of
