promises of Obedience And so also came in the Humble Congratulation of the peaceable Subjects of Bristol called Quakers bespeaking much as the rest These Quakers generally an Ignorant sort of People of uncertain Principles of Religion and without any orderly Confession of Faith have broached many old Haeresies and as is apparent have many hidden Papists among them and are thought to be much Popishly inclined and many of them appear as it were Paganish and seem as if inspired with Diabolical Delusions and Enthusiasms and are a dangerous sort of Haereticks pretending to be perfect in Righteousness full of the Light of the Spirit do much debase if not deny the use of God's holy Ordinances pretending to be above them And therefore plainly appearing to be a People void of all Conscience damnable Haereticks And yet these also under pretence of Liberty of Conscience must have Liberty to sow their Tares of Haeresies all over the three Kingdoms of England Scotland and Ireland and boast themselves as the great Confidents of King James the Second And among the rest of the Pillars of Popery Voted for the Old Members in London and were of the number of those Upbraiders of the

notwithstanding His being a Zealous Papist and violently Transgressing against the known Laws of the Land yet in the whole course of his Reign a Wise and Merciful King Also acknowledging that they are for Monarchy as the only An cient Legal and Rightful Government of this Nation It is to be remembred that these were the late Oliverians who turned out the Rump to set up the Protector That His

was Published the Address of the Independents and Anabaptists together of which already said in the Anabaptist Address for Gloucester Now these Independents either spake truth from their Hearts or

of London lately Nominated that they would bring him in But will they say they are Changed yet must they go for Impostors and false Villains for King James kept fair with them to the last however he Opprest the Church-men But what can we expect from the Sons of Murtherers They smell of the Bloud of the Father they are false to the Son and cannot be true to the Grand-child And it 's to be fear'd
