borne of the Virgin it may be done in few words but to lay out the nature benefit and glory of it no smalspeech or time can serve to expresse and therefore desired in word as before he had manifested his mind unto them so he might give that present answer which God gave unto him in this point also but they told him it must be done in writing and so commanded the Go●ler to convey him to an other room to dispatch the same but as he was going out from them they called unto him and told him he should have the liberty of halfe an hours time to performe i● in when he was come into an other room pen inke and paper being brought unto him as he was going to write word was sent from the Court that if it was brought in on the second day in the morning it should suffice for the Court considering of it that many of them had farre home and it being the day of Preparation for the Sabbath for it was now Saturday in the afternoon and they thought not fit to sit any longer so Gorton was conveyed againe into the Prison to the rest of his friends who continued cheerfully together all the Sabbath day as they had done before in the Prison only some part of those dayes they brought us forth unto their Congregations to hear their Sermons of occido and occidio which was ment not to be digested but only by the heart or stomacke of an Ostrich But upon the Munday morning Gorton tooke pen and inke and writ in answer to every one of the four questions given unto him as here followeth This is a true Copie of answers given to the Court of the Massachusets to the four questions which they required to be answered in writing upon life and death in case of Blasphemy which we were charged with and sentence so farre passed as to take away our lives by the sword in case of not disclayming of our Religion or erroneous opinions as they were pleased to call them the answers are truly set down verbatim TO the first question we answer affirmatively only assuming the l●berty of our explanation namely The Fathers who dyed before Christ was borne of the Virgin Mary were justified and saved only by the blood which he shed and the death which he suffered in and after his Incarnation that is on this wise that the guilt and stain of man is not but with respect unto the holy word of God the disobedience whereof by eating the forbidden fruit breeds an infinit distance between God and his owne worke without the least defect or blame to be found or imputed unto the Word of God but the sole defect and blame is in the creature even in man himselfe yet could he in no case be so miserable but with respect unto the holy Word even so the justification and salvation of the Fathers was by the holy word of God not but with respect and relation unto the seed of Abraham and the Son of David conceived and borne of the Virgin Mary in whom they were justified and saved and yet no vertue nor power arising out of any thing that is humane m●n therefore is a sinner of infinit guilt with respect unto that word which was before all time and no fault to be found in the Word at all the word of God is a Saviour of infinit value with respect unto the seed of the Virgin Mary borne suffering dying and rising againe in the fulnesse of time and yet no vertue in that seed at all unto whom all the Prophets bear witnesse having an eye unto him in all their holy Writings and the faith of the Fathers comprehending Christ both in the one and in the other respect were justified and saved by him alone his death being reall and actuall unto faith God having the same coexistance with the creature in all ages though the creature cannot have the same with him but in time To the second Question depending upon or rather involved in the former we answer Mans rejection of the Word of God being his sinne and separation from God is the only forfeiture of himselfe which could not be but with respect unto the word of eternity even so Gods Righteousnesse revealed by taking man into unitie with himselfe is the only price of our Redemption with respect unto the death of Christ upon the Crosse with the rest of his sufferings and obedience from the time of his Incarnation in the womb of the Virgin Mary to his ascention into Heaven without which there is no price of our Redemption To the third Question who we thinke that God is that men serve that are not of the faith above said we answer that all mens hearts are awed by the true God to bow in worship therefore when the Apostle looking upon the inscription upon the Altar at Athens it is said he beheld their devotion or as the word is the God which they worshipped though ignorantly yet it was he only that he declared unto them So the Apostle Iames thou beleevest that there is one God thou doest well the Devils also beleeve and tremble The fourth Question therfore is the explanation of the third namely what we mean by Molech and the Star of that God Remphan to which we answer that the Scripture alluded unto * makes difference between those Gain-sayers of the Fathers which fell in the Wildernesse and those of the true seed that gave faithfull Testimony unto the Oracle of God the Rebels of the sons of Levy would not take up nor beare the Arke of God as their duty was nor give the light and lustre of a Star in the Tabernacle when it was pitched for the seven Stars are the seven Angels But as they had the power of a worldly Ruler or Governour to defend them in their worke and to subdue all that were not of their mind under them therefore they tooke up the Tabernacle of Molech or bore the Booth of the King and gave the light of Remphan alluding unto Rapha who in Davids dayes had four sonnes were mighty Gyants warring only by the strength of the Arme of flesh so that they would not give Testimony unto the holy way of God but as they had a King set over them besides Moses to defend them when as a greater then Moses was there And in this they turned backe in their hearts unto Aegypt looking unto the way of Pharaoh that would subdue all that were not of his own way and be a defence unto his wise men in what ever they wrought but the faithfull seed of Abraham had the Tabernacle of witnesse or witnessed unto the Tabernacle even in the Wildernesse where there was no worldly Governour to defend them but all came out against them Ammon and Amaleck Balack Ogg and Sihon and the rest in the which condition Stephen perceived himselfe when he witnessed unto the word of truth in alleadging that place of the Prophet * Samuel Gorton

desiring to speake with the Captain and the officers they utterly denyed to have any speech with us but immediatly intrenched themselves and the same day gave fire upon us whereupon to shew our allegeance to the State of old England we hung out the English colours which they perceiving shot the more violently against us shooting the colours many times through and through Now when the Messenger from the Massachusets returned comming through the Towne of Providence two of the men of Providence came along to Shaw-omet to see how things were carried and what the newes was at his returne and however the Commissioners would not speake with us yet the men of Providence went unto them had speech with them whom they warned to come no more unto us upon their perill for they were resolved of their course therefore who ever came neer unto us they would take them for their enemies For when the Governour and Assistants of the Massachusets perceived that the Commissioners had declared their errand unto us in plainer termes then then they intended it should have beene they thought to make the house we were in our grave was the best vvay to vindicate the moderation of their equall Justice tovvards us as plainly appeared by their practise and course held concerning us Here followeth a true Copy of the testimony of the two men of PROVIDENCE who came to SHAVV-OMET at the return of the Messenger out of the MASSACHUSETS verbatim extant under their own hands WE testifie that upon the return of the Answer from the Bay the Captain refused the former offer of appeale to England or Arbitration in the Country with the said Samuel Gorton and his company but immediately dissolved the truce and the same day proceeded to give fire upon them Richard Scot William Harrisse And so continued for divers days together in their fierce assalt the Sabbath approaching we imagining they would not have continued their assalt upon that day and were very confident that they would go about no such work upon the night before the Sabbath being we knew well that they held the Sabbath begins in the evening going before and that they had no lesse ground for it then Master Cottons judgment as also that it was one of their laws that the breach of the Sabbath is to be punished with death Now what they may judge the killing of their Countrymen causlesly upon that day is whether to keep or break the Sabbath we leave to all men to judge But contrary to our expectation early in the morning having prepared their fire-works they attempted to burn the house wherein we were seconding their fire with the discharge of above four hundred shot against us according to the Souldiers account who afterwards told us how many shots they had made that morning according to the emptying of their band●l●ers all which time they told us Captain Cook stood behind such a great white oaktree whom we heard incouraging his souldiers to come on with courage thinking himself in safety and so he was for we discharged not a Gun that morning nor of al the time of their siege but onlytwo in the nighttime at random to scar them from working their trenches neer unto us for we had concluded to take away the lives of none of our Countrymen unlesse they offered to enter violently upon us which we only ●itted our selves to prevent such assalt or else that we were forced out upon them by the firing of our house only we perceived our words to be shot good enough to keep them aloof For we called cheerfully upon the Captain to come on and bring up his men for he should find vs very cheerfull spirits to deal with and that we would make him as good a Sabbath days breakfast as ever he had in his life our care was only to quench the fire which they had laid to the wall before we were aware But we saw the wind took the flame so from the wal that it kindled not upon the house vvhen the day began to break Captain Cook called to the souldiers to go on with a fresh assalt but we heard some of his Souldiers deny to come on again being the fire took not and the day beginning to be light they thought we might shoot from the house at some certainty we called on the Captain to animate his soldiers for we understood we told him his charret wheels began to drive very heavy and were in danger to fall off and that was all the violence we offered to our Countrymen in this their so eager an assalt though we heard the Captain in the beginning of it give strict charge to the souldiers that they should not let one escape alive but to put all to the sword thinking the fire would have taken and so we have been a prey for them But however we discharged not a peece against them being loth to spill the blood of our Countrymen though to the hazard of our own lives yet were we well provided and could easily have done them much hurt only stood upon our defence so as they durst not make entry upon us afterwhich assalt they sent back into the Massachusets for more ayd But in the mean time another parley was procured wherein we consented to go down into the Massachusets upon Composition to prevent the spilling of blood which we could no longer refrain in the defence of our selves they having approached so neer unto us The condition whereof was this that we should goe along with them as free men and neighbours as though such passages had never been betwixt us which the Captain and his Company consenting unto beat up the Drum and gathered his souldiers together seeming joyfull that things were so concluded whereupon the Captaine desired to see our house which request we lovingly imbraced thinking he intended to refresh him selfe and his souldiers with such provisions as we had before we set upon our journey towards the Massachusets but no sooner was he come into the house but contrary to the Articles of out agreement he seized upon our Armes using us as captives and presently carried us away not suffering us to dispose of any of our goods that were in or about our houses having not so much as a servant left behind and so left them all as pillage to the Indians the Captain giving charge unto the souldiers that if any of us spake a word in our journey to give any of them discontent that they should presently knock us downe and if they saw any of us step aside out of the place designed unto us that they should run us through and he would beare them out in that their action And withall they drove away our cattle into the Massachusets dividing and disposing of them amongst themselves only some of them they had disposed of to such of their subjects as lived near unto us who had been instruments and assistants unto them to bring about and effect this worke The number

Jurisdictions but also to establish what way of Religion themselves thought fit to the the taking away not only of goods but lives also of such as were otherwise minded We made answer unto the Writing they had sent unto us on this wise which Answer was made upon our removall from Mooshawset otherwise called PROVIDENCE to Shaw-omet A true Copy of our Answer to the Warrant or Writing which the men of the Massachusets sent unto us as is above noted wherein we only take up their own expressions to shew unto them the spirit and power of their Religion which they go about by these means to preserve inlarge and shew the glory of it to the world The Answer is verbatim examined by the originall Copy only marginall Notes added to help the Reader to understand our true meaning Mooshawset November the 20. 1642. To our Neighbours of the MASSACHUSETS WHereas we lately received an irregular note professing its forme from the Massachusets with four mens Names subscribed thereunto as principall authors of it of the chiefe amongst you we could not easily give credit unto the truth thereof Not only because the conveyers of it unto us are known to be men whose constant and professed acts are worse then the counterfeitings of mens hands but also because we thought that men of your parts and profession would never have prostrated their wisdome to such an act But considering that causlesse emnity you have against us the proof whereof every occasion brings forth we cannot but conclude That no act so ill which that ancient Mother will not bring forth her seed unto For we know very well that it is the name of Christ called upon us which you strive against whence it is that you stand on tiptoe to stretch your selves beyond your bounds to seek occasion against us so as you might hide your sin with Adam bearing the world in hand it is not your desire to contend with us but some civill breach in our course which you seek to redresse whereas neither you nor any in way of truth can find wherewith to bring us under the censure of a disorderly course of walking amongst them And as for the way of that ancient spirit of accusation of the brethren we weight it not knowing him to be a lyar or in the abstract a lye from the beginning yea and the father of it also which thing you cannot know though it were told unto you whereas you say Robert Cole William Arnald with others have put themselves under the government and protection of your Jurisdiction which is the occasion you have now got to contend we wish your words were verified that they were not elsewhere to be found being nothing but the shame of Religion disquiet and disturbance of the places where they are for we know neither the one nor the other with all their associates and confederates have power to inlarge the bounds by King CHARLES limited unto you Behold therefore in this your act a Map of your spiritual estate to use your own phrase for we know that the spirituality of your Churches is the civility of your Commonwealth and the civility of your Cōmonwealth is the spirituality of your Churches the wisdom of man being the whole accomplesense of them both of which tree you delight dayly to eat finding it fair and beautifull to gain conformity with your maker in these your dissembling subjects grosly profane amongst us but full of the spirit of your purity when they are with you you may remember the brand your selves have set on some of them the cause whereof was never yet removed though it abide not upon their backs nor yet the cause of your commitment of them unto Sathan according to your Law for if that were removed you should do them wrong in not resuming your vomit into its former concoction again Nor are we ignorant of those disgracefull termes they use and give out against you behind your backs Their submission therefore cannot be to any other end but to satisfie their own lusts not only conceived but in violent motion against their Neighbours who never offered the least wrong unto them only the proposition of amity is object sufficient for these mens emnity Even so the passions of sin which are by the law having force in your members you going about with great labour and industry to satisfie them by your submission unto the Word of God in your fasting and feasting in contributing and treasuring in retirednesse for study and bowing of the backs of the poor going forth in labour to maintain it and in the spirit of that hireling raising up your whole structure and edifice in all which you bring forth nothing but fruit unto death Some laboring for a price to give for the keeping of their souls in peace and safe estate and condition some to have your bodies furnished with riches honor and ease and further then the Lord Jesus agrees with these you mind him not nay you renounce and reject him and with these according to your acceptation and practice he holds no correspondency at all being the consultation and operation of that his only adversary Man being that which you depend upon and not the Lord crying out in the way of elevation and lauding his Ministers when in the mean time you know not what nor who they are professing them under a mediate call of Christ though formerly they have been called immediately by him Hereby shewing your selves to be those which destroy the sacred ordinance of God for if you make Christ to be that to day in stating of his Ministers which he was not yesterday and that in the time of the Gospel also to speak according to your law to be found in them both you therein affirme he hath been that to his Ministers which now he is not and to make the son of God to have been that which now he is not is to make a nullity of him Not to be at all For he is the Lord that changeth not no not a shadow thereof is found in him So that you plainly crucifie to your selves the Lord of glory and put him to an open shame so that as you know not how Christ conversing with his Father in heaven is found on the earth amongst the true worshippers no more do you know how in his conversing with Nicodemus on the earth he concludes himselfe to be in heaven with his Father on this foundation hangeth the whole building of your doctrine concerning the sufferings of Christ you annihilate the Crosse then the which the Saints have no other consolation and prepare no better a place then purgatory for the honourable Fathers of our Lord for ye conclude that Christ dyed in the decree and purpose of God in the time of the law but actually only when he hanged on the Cross in the dayes of Herod and Pontius

because of advantage or else to seek all occasions against them to brand them with all manner of reproach and ignominy but for the truth taught dayly in the Temple you know not how to stretch out your hand or exercise your ministery against it least it become leprous and you take it back again with losse when it appears dryed and withered and wherefore reason ye amongst your selves saying we exercise the power of our ministrations against none but such as are Delinquents whereby we clear the innocent and establish peace in our borders we demand what think you of those two witnesses prophesying in sackcloth a thousand two hundred and three●●ore dayes those two Olive trees and Candlesticks standing before the God of the earth are these guilty and vile persons out of whose hands by the power of your ministery you are delivering and releasing the world then indeed are your wayes justifiable But if these be the just chosen and peculiar friends of God yea such as without which his truth and righteousnesse are not justified his wisdome and holynesse maintained and upheld in the world in point of salvation by Christ then are your ways wicked and to be abhorred for in your professed course you are they by whom they are slain and put to death and all your glory is to keep their Corps unburied in your streets and yet you know not what you are doing no more then you know what these witnesses are whom you are altogether ignorant of for your ●●●●●ries never ●●w them and you see not but by their eyes for these are two and never more nor yet lesse yea ever the same they are Olive tree● else no witnesses and also Candlesticks else both the former fail yea are not at all we must tell you what these are else we cannot declare how ye kill them for it is not our intent to open unto you the house of the creatures the silver and the gold the spices and the precious ointment no● the house of our armor because ye take all as execrable and put all to a prophane use that cometh from us But these two witnesses are the life and death of our Lord Jesus Christ or in the true language of heaven also the strength and the weaknesse of Christ for he was crucified through weaknesse but liveth by the power of God This is the Word of the Lord in Zorob●bel not by an army nor by power and so deprives him of all strength but by a spirit that the greatest mountain o● loftiest hill in the world cannot stand before but becomes a plain which with facility and ease he passeth upon thence it is that he doth not only ●ay the top or the head stone of all but also the lowest in the foundation and then onely is the voice of shouting heard Grace grace in the house for ever and then doth the day of smal things become the day of joy and triumph yea of parting the rich spoils and prey of all the world for then he that doth but turn and lift up his eyes he cannot look besides that great flying book of the Curse that is gone forth over the whole earth without these two witnesses joyntly uttering themselves in every particular Scripture undertaken to be divulged by any no evidence nor testimony of God is given or brought in at all but a meer refuge of lyes for the souls of men to betake themselves unto without these two pipes of the Olive trees emptying into the bowl of the Candlesticks no unction nor oyl at all is found in them and that being wanting the light of the sanctuary is gone out so that the light appearing amongst you is onely the light of Baalam whose eye was open which you may read either Shethum or Sethum for that opening is nothing else but the shutting up of the holy things of God so that in seeing ye see not but communicate only in the light of that beast who puts the witnesses to death as Baalam did in the sight of that dumm beast of his whose eyes were so opened as to see the Angell before him So that while you think it is our wisdome to stoop unto you for light we never come amongst you but see our selves in a regiment of gross and palpable darknesse and discern you very plainly how you scrable upon the wall to find the door of L●ts house and cannot as also how you toil your selves to climb up into the sheepfold another way yea so many other wayes and have no sight nor discerning of the door at all by the which whosoever entreth becomes a true feeder of the flock yea none entreth in thereat but the true shepherd himselfe Most impious it is to put to death two such noble witnesses that have power to shut heaven that it rain not in the dayes of their prophesying to turn waters into blood and to smite the earth with all manner of plagues as oft as they wil whom that spirit that is amongst you kils on this wise The life and power of the Son of God as above which is infinite not admitting of circumscription or contenent for the heaven of heavens cannot contain him yet have ye not dared to grasp and inviron that power in the heavens and therefore have resolved and concluded that hee only rules upon the earth in these dayes by his Deputies Lieutenants and Visegerents whereby you limit and so destroy the holy one of Israel for give him that in one time or place which afterwards or else where yee deny unto him and you make a nullitie of him unto your selves and in so doing you kill the other witnesse namely the death or weaknesse of the Lord Jesus for you must have man to be honourable learned wise experienced and of good report else they may not rule amongst you yea and these things are of man and by man as Peeres in that they only officiate so as man may disanull and take it away againe witnesse your change of officers constantly speaking for us herein thus have you slaine also the Death or the weaknesse of Christ who professeth himselfe to be a worme and no man the shame and contempt of the people and these faithfull and true witnesses thus slaine you must of necessitie deny buriall and keepe them both in your streets in open view otherwise all your pompe and glory fals to the dust whence it came and on which it feeds nor can you send your presents one to an other of your acts of Justice power to protect wealth honour and friends wherewith you gratifie one another And where these are thus slaine and their corps lye in open view none of the Gentiles peoples tongues and kindreds suffering their corps to be put in grave there is that great Citie which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt where our Lord is crucified But after three dayes and

an halfe the spirit of life from God shall enter into them and they shall stand up upon their feet to the terrour of you all Nor doe you thinke that wee only inveigh against the great ones of the world for thus doing for wee know that the greatest of the Princes of this world hath the very same spirit wherewith the basest Peasant hath laid himselfe open in the view of all the world and the basest Peasant hath the same spirit with the greatest of the Princes of this world These wee say are the two witnesses if you can receive it and what dishonour is it to trade so much by meanes of witnesses and yet know not what a true witnesse is which if you did you durst not attempt the things yee doe whereby you cast reproach upon all the world in that you professe your selves a choice people pickt out of it and yet you goe on with such practises as you doe maintaining them as your only glory Our Lord gives you in charge not to sweare at all but it is your dignity to bring men to your seats of Justice with nothing but oaths in their mouths why doe you not ballance the Scriptures in this point It hath beene said of old thou shalt not commit Adultery but I say unto you hee that looketh on a Woman to lust after her hath committed Adultery with her in his heart already So also it hath beene said of old thou shalt not forsweare thy selfe but I say unto you sweare not at all So that if it bee Adultery to looke to lust it is also forswearing of a mans selfe to sweare at all if one be Adulterie the other is Perjury if one be admitted in some cases the other also so that in preaching the Toleration nay the duty of an oath you preach the toleration yea the dutie of adulterie it selfe So that our Lord plainely evinceth unto all mens consciences not only the guilt but the folly and madnesse of the oath of man to sh●w how farre it is from investing into place or demonstrating causes So that hee that concludeth upon honour and power received from the oath of man or upon knowledge and holdnesse to judge in a cause from that Testimonie without the which hee could not have it is as vaine in his thoughts as if hee should hereupon conclude I have now altered the frame of Heaven which is no lesse stable then the Throne of the great God or demolished the earth which is as firme as his Foot-stoole for ever or made a fraction in the orders of Ierusalem that choice and peculiar Citie of the great King whose institutions no mortall breath can intrench upon or to professe his authority and skill to be such whereby hee can make a ●●ire of his head black or white viz. cause his age to wax old as a garment or renew it with the Eagle at his pleasure hereby doth man in this point of swearing professe his folly to be such that he is become not onely vaine in his imaginations but to that pride and usurpation therein as to intrude himselfe into the Prerogative Royall of his Maker so tha● howsoever ye boast of the Ordinances of God yet hee t●ls you there is no more then yea yea and nay nay in them for that which is once nay is ever nay in the ordination of Christ and what is once yea is ever yea with him and according to his account howsoever man reckoneth whose accounts shall be called over againe what is once the curse is ever the curse and that which is once the Principality and power of Christ is ever the principalitie and power of Christ as that which is once the principalitie and power of darkenesse is e●er the same what hands soever it commeth into for manifestation measure your Kingdome whether it be eternall and your jurisdiction whether it be illimited for hee hath given him the Heathen for his inheritance and the utmost parts of the earth for his possession and a Kingdome of lesse extent hee professeth not nor can he approve or acknowledge any that do no more then light can approve of darkenesse or the Lord I●hovah of the lord Baal Be wise therefore and bethinke your selves while it is called to day harden not your hearts as though you would make your selves Meribba nothing but strife and contention against the Lord rather kisse the So●ne if it be possible lest his wrath kindle and you perish from the way for ever Oh blessed onely they that hope in him so that hee which professeth on this wise it is yea I am a Pastor but it was nay at such a time I was none at all hee renounceth that spirit of the true Pastor yea the only Feeder of Israel but professeth that spirit only that pusheth the weake with the horne and pudleth with his feet the waters where the flocke of God should drink He with whom it is yea I am a Ruler but it was nay when I was none renounceth that spirit of him that rules in Righteousnesse professing the spirit of him that rules according to the god of this world that Prince of the power of the ayre who is now working so effectually in the children of disobedience so also he with whom it is yea I am a Captain or chiefe slaughter-man but it was nay time was I was none at all renounceth that victory and slaughter made by the Captaine and High Priest of our profession who as he is a Lambe slain from the beginning his victory and slaughter must be of the same antiquity professing himselfe to be a chiefe slaughter-man or superfluous Giant made in the Hoast of the Philistims standing in readinesse to come out to defie the Hoasts of the ever living God yea it is evident whatsoever is more then yea yea and nay nay not setting each upon his base whereon it standeth for ever without controule but can remove create or make void offices and officers at their pleasure is of that evill one not of Jesus the Salvation of his people but of Shedim that Waster and Destroyer of man-kind for ever Know therefore that it is the oath of God which confirmes and makes good his Covenant and promise to a thousand generations and it is the oath of man that is the bond and obligation of that league and agreement made with hell and death for ever Be ye assured it is not the Tabernacle of witnesse which you have amongst you brought in by Jesus into the possession of the Gentiles but it is Siccuth your King or the Tabernacle of Molech the Star of your God Remphan figures that you have made to your selves which you have taken up and are bearing so stoutly upon your shoulders Now to tell you what an oath according to God is that the Scriptures are delivered upon no other ground or termes of certaintie where ever they are
