knockt at the Castle Door to the Amazement of theCLOSER that were within H. S. Something farther added to William Craven's Certificate against J. N. as to time and Place c. THese may certifie that on the 15th of the 2d moneth 1678. at the House of William Rudd in Hertford W. Craven being asked in what year James Naylor should speak those words which were charged to be spoken by him in a Certificate under William Craven's Hand in Print in William Haworth's late Sheet he further saith that it was between twenty six and thirty years since and that he J. N. was then a Prisoner in York Castle and that he could take his Oath of the Truth hereof William Rudd Richard Thomas Note So some through Envy and Malice or Self-Interest will Forswear themselves and so become perjured to injure others by Falshoods and Forgeries And if William Craven should swear to his Certificate before cited with these Circumstances of Time and Place it would be no hard matter if it were before a Judge of Assize to invalidate his Testimony and prove him a Forsworn Perjured Person to his utter Disgrace and Shame since 1st 't is evident that Iames Naylor the Quaker so called who as such a one is accused never was Prisoner in York Castle 2. That between twenty six and thirty years since before the 2d Moneth 1678. he was not a Quaker that we can understand but an Independent and one of the more Religious and Serious sort too much less a Prisoner in York Castle as a Quaker between twenty six and thirty years since for it was near the latter-end of the year 1652. that he was Prisoner at Appleby in Westmoreland and but the Summer before in the same year came forth as a Quaker and it was some time after his coming forth that his Mouth was open'd to preach and dispute for Truth having before that been a Member of an Independent-Society at Horbery in Yorkshire having been an Officer under General Lambert in his Troop vid. Saul's Errand pag. 29. and the Narrative of his Examination pag. 2. with the following Testimony York the 13th of the 2 d Moneth 1678. EDward Nightingall and Thomas Waite who served their Apprentiships in the City of York and both having been House-keepers near thirty years the said Thomas Waite being all along conversant with Prisoners that came in upon a Conscientious Account yet neither of them ever knew Iames Naylor a Prisoner in York Castle Also Judith Key Widdow aged about Eighty Years and hath lived in the City of York Fifty years or upwards and near Thirty years of the time hath gone under the Name of a Quaker and her House alwayes at Friends service she affirms that in all that time she knows that James Naylor never was a Prisoner in York Castle Witness their Hands Thomas Wait Edward Nightingall Judith Key John Hall THis may certifie all Persons to whom this present Writing shall come that I Audry Nunns Wife of John Nunns formerly Wife of Thomas Bayock Goaler of York Castle was well acquainted with James Naylor and to my knowledge he was never Prisoner in York Castle in all his time York this 12th of April 78. Witness my Hand Audry Nunnes THis Audry Nunnes above-mention'd saith that she and her former Husband Thomas Bayock entred in the year 1651. and kept the Goal six years and saith she durst swear it if required she keeps an Inn in the City This we are Witnesses to as also to the Certificate above Edward Nightingall Jo. Tayler John Hall See now Reader how we have traced and evidently detected William Craven in his Certificate and found him false in his Evidence to his own and his Abettor William Haworth's utter Disgrace for publishing such a malicious Slander against James Naylor as that Mary was a Whore and Christ was a Bastard and W. Haworth most wickedly charging the People called Quakers therewith as being one of their Doctrines for which let Shame cover this Independent Teacher and those that take his part And now to conclude we have this further to add appealing to our more moderate Neighbours in Hertford who have known us many years whether they ever apprehended us to be of so Unchristian Practices in our Conversation for if there be such Antichristian Principles and Blasphemous Tenents held and professed by us as William Haworth and his Adherents have wickedly scandalized us withal they would sometime or other break forth into Unsavoury and Antichristian Practices as Christ saith By their Fruits you shall know them But it doth most evidently appear now what the drift of W. H. and his Accomplices designed in their scribling and contesting against us that by writing and asserting Lyes they may render us as odious as may be not only to get our Nest at Hertford as he calls it broken up which W. H. saith its high time it were but also as much as in him lies to render us such as assert Blasphemous Principles because he hath gotten some Forgers to witness it against one or two Persons all which is deny'd that so our Lives and Estates might be indanger'd through their Malice by casting that upon many which is unquestionably false concerning any one as by what hath been before said doth more fully appear And as for our Principles we are still ready by the Lord's assistance to maintain them by Scripture and otherwise in Print and Testimony to all ingenuous and impartial Persons but it seems evident it is our Destruction he longs for or otherwise he would not print such horrible Lyes of us Oh Wicked Wretch And now hear James Naylor's own Confessions to Christ Jesus out of his Books Possession of the Living Faith printed about 1658. and reprinted 1664. and inserted after the Preface in the later Impression viz. Christ Jesus the Immanuel of whose Sufferings the Scriptures declare him alone I confess before men for whose sake I have denyed whatever was dear to me in this World that I might win him and be found in him and not in my self whose Life and Vertue I find daily manifest c. In the Fear of God the Father in Honour to Jesus Christ c. He was a perfect Example at Jerusalem p. 6. This Redemption I found in Christ Jesus c. pag. 20 21. Concerning the Name of Christ viz. That he sits at God's Right Hand in Heavenly Places by his Sufferings to redeem them and they who are gather'd into this Name hold it as a Holy Power and DARE NOT BLASPHEME IT Let every one that names the Name of Christ depart from Iniquity which Name to such is Salvation pag. 65. Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ c. That the holy Name of Christ may be glorified in you c. pag. 71 74. as printed with others of his Books James Naylor's Love to the Lost printed about the year 1655.
