the_o young_a man_n produce_v another_o to_o testify_v the_o truth_n of_o this_o matter_n who_o be_v with_o he_o at_o william_n facye_n house_n and_o hear_v he_o deny_v the_o sermon_n note_n afterward_o mr._n lowman_n meet_v with_o william_n facy_n reprove_v he_o for_o lie_v william_n facy_n to_o justify_v himself_o tell_v mr._n lowman_n that_o the_o young_a man_n have_v clear_v he_o in_o

prevent_v yet_o notwithstanding_o william_n facy_n be_v their_o pastor_n i_o wish_v that_o the_o plain_a heart_a among_o they_o will_v but_o serious_o consider_v whether_o they_o can_v possible_o expect_v a_o blessing_n from_o heaven_n under_o such_o a_o man_n ministry_n who_o course_n i_o have_v a_o little_a hint_v to_o you_o and_o judge_v you_o whither_o i_o have_v not_o cause_n to_o withdraw_v where_o such_o iniquity_n be_v indulge_v the_o three_o particular_a of_o my_o charge_n be_v for_o charge_v some_o of_o the_o anabaptist_n with_o deny_v magistrate_n and_o the_o neglect_v of_o family_n duty_n and_o sing_v of_o psalm_n let_v i_o tell_v you_o i_o do_v not_o charge_v you_o without_o a_o cause_n for_o those_o thing_n abound_v in_o you_o at_o that_o rate_n that_o see_v you_o and_o sin_n will_v not_o part_v you_o and_o i_o must_v part_v and_o though_o some_o of_o you_o be_v dear_a to_o i_o who_o i_o trust_v the_o lord_n will_v convince_v in_o his_o due_a time_n yet_o the_o lord_n jesus_n be_v near_a and_o dear_a who_o communion_n i_o must_v and_o through_o grace_n do_v prize_n before_o you_o have_v you_o &_o i_o continue_v it_o to_o be_v fear_v the_o lord_n &_o i_o shall_v have_v part_v for_o while_o i_o sit_v under_o your_o ministry_n i_o can_v never_o find_v that_o blessing_n which_o i_o have_v find_v from_o that_o ministry_n you_o despise_v that_o tenderness_n which_o the_o lord_n wrought_v upon_o my_o spirit_n by_o the_o public_a ministry_n before_o i_o come_v among_o you_o do_v much_o decay_n while_o i_o continue_v with_o you_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v no_o final_a mercy_n that_o the_o lord_n have_v bring_v i_o from_o you_o 1._o for_o deny_v the_o power_n of_o magistrate_n it_o be_v notorious_o know_v to_o many_o good_a people_n of_o tiverton_n how_o you_o have_v carp_v at_o the_o magistracy_n there_o for_o execute_v their_o power_n upon_o sabbath_n breaker_n and_o quaker_n yea_o you_o confess_v &_o plead_v it_o against_o i_o as_o many_o of_o my_o friend_n can_v testify_v when_o i_o charge_v you_o with_o it_o affirm_v that_o magistrate_n have_v nothing_o to_o do_v with_o quaker_n 2._o for_o neglect_v of_o family_n duty_n you_o can_v without_o blush_v say_v that_o i_o wrong_v you_o in_o charge_v the_o neglect_n of_o it_o upon_o you_o be_v conscious_a to_o yourselves_o that_o many_o of_o your_o family_n call_v not_o upon_o god_n which_o i_o can_v confident_o affirm_v upon_o my_o own_o personal_a knowledge_n when_o i_o walk_v with_o you_o beside_o when_o i_o charge_v you_o with_o it_o you_o affirm_v that_o it_o be_v a_o man_n liberty_n and_o not_o his_o duty_n to_o pray_v in_o his_o family_n as_o my_o friend_n can_v testify_v who_o be_v then_o present_a 3._o for_o neglect_v to_o sing_v psalm_n a_o ordinance_n of_o christ_n you_o never_o perform_v this_o duty_n in_o your_o assembly_n but_o when_o i_o charge_v you_o with_o this_o you_o affirm_v it_o to_o be_v no_o better_o than_o ballad_n as_o my_o friend_n can_v testify_v also_o i_o come_v to_o the_o four_o and_o last_o particular_a of_o my_o charge_n for_o abuse_v my_o father_n but_o whether_o by_o word_n or_o deed_n or_o in_o what_o manner_n you_o give_v i_o no_o account_n but_o sure_o i_o be_o if_o i_o be_v guilty_a of_o such_o a_o thing_n you_o never_o reprove_v i_o i_o must_v confess_v that_o when_o i_o walk_v with_o you_o through_o your_o instigation_n i_o take_v up_o many_o hard_a thought_n both_o of_o my_o father_n and_o mother_n because_o they_o labour_v to_o convince_v i_o of_o my_o error_n yea_o and_o i_o leave_v my_o father_n house_n upon_o this_o very_a account_n as_o i_o have_v hint_v before_o but_o through_o mercy_n the_o lord_n have_v show_v i_o my_o evil_n in_o so_o do_v yet_o you_o be_v never_o the_o people_n that_o admonish_v i_o all_o the_o while_o i_o walk_v with_o you_o but_o now_o you_o act_n as_o if_o you_o will_v rejoice_v if_o you_o can_v take_v up_o any_o thing_n to_o reproach_v i_o and_o set_v variance_n between_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n but_o have_v i_o be_v guilty_a of_o every_o syllable_n of_o which_o you_o charge_v i_o with_o how_o can_v you_o bring_v it_o to_o blasphemy_n the_o truth_n be_v thomas_n glass_n make_v many_o sad_a shift_n to_o mince_v the_o matter_n when_o he_o be_v desire_v to_o make_v forth_o wherein_o i_o have_v be_v guilty_a of_o blasphemy_n but_o let_v all_o modest_a sober_a christian_n judge_n whither_o that_o which_o lie_v in_o the_o bottom_n be_v not_o my_o discover_v their_o wickedness_n and_o withdraw_v from_o they_o though_o i_o can_v not_o in_o conscience_n continue_v long_o with_o they_o when_o god_n say_v come_v out_o from_o among_o they_o which_o make_v they_o to_o forge_v something_o against_o i_o and_o let_v the_o reader_n judge_v where_o lie_v the_o guilt_n thus_o i_o have_v give_v you_o a_o brief_a narrative_n of_o the_o principal_n and_o practice_n of_o these_o anabaptist_n have_v walk_v with_o they_o and_o try_v they_o and_o likewise_o a_o account_n of_o god_n gracious_a deal_n in_o bring_v i_o from_o they_o to_o attend_v the_o public_a ministry_n and_o of_o their_o unjust_a proceed_n against_o i_o in_o this_o matter_n if_o the_o good_a lord_n make_v it_o useful_a for_o the_o good_a of_o any_o poor_a soul_n to_o undeceive_v he_o and_o bring_v he_o into_o the_o way_n of_o god_n or_o to_o prevent_v any_o from_o depart_v out_o of_o god_n way_n i_o shall_v rejoice_v so_o that_o god_n may_v not_o loose_v his_o glory_n nor_o any_o of_o his_o people_n loose_v their_o comfort_n which_o if_o you_o tender_v be_v sure_a to_o prize_v those_o way_n in_o which_o
