A50325	Truth held forth and maintained according to the testimony of the holy prophets, Christ and his Apostles recorded in the Holy Scriptures with some account of the judgments of the Lord lately inflicted upon New-England by witchcraft : to which is added, Something concerning the fall of Adam, his state in the fall, and way of restoration to God again, with many other weighty things ... / written in true love to the souls of my neighbours and all men, which includeth that love to them and myself, by Thomas Maule.

same between man and man or between man or men further then the cause doth concern a body of People which in the cause are included as one Man for as the Body hath many Members them many Members make but one Body even so is it with a Body of People whether in Church or state the many Members of that Church or state make but one compleat Body of People which is very proper to say thee or thou to that Body of People but not proper to say thee or thou to a part of them as they are divided for though it was proper according to Truth to say thee and thou to Jerusalem yet we never find that the Spirit of God did direct any to say you or ye to a single Jew nor thee and thou to more then one except as aforesaid to a Body of People whom the Spirit of God did as many Members includes one Body But then why not you to a single Person which includes all the Members of that Body because when the spirit of God did you or ye to a Body of People it was that all might understand the Lords Cause which was either for or against them Now though the body of a single Person hath many Members yet the Understanding of that body is but one which Understanding comprehends the matter or cause which the other doth relate for when the Spirit of God speaks by the Messengers of his Truth to a Body of People they do not speak to all the Members of the Body of each Man and Woman but to the Body which includes each man and woman a Member of that Body so that it is very improper and inconsistent with Truth for People to plead that when they say you or ye to a single Person they speak as including all the Members of that single Persons Body for which they have no warrant from the Spirit of God nor Example from any that we read of in the holy Scriptures of Truth Mat. 23.37 Luk. 13.34 Isa 43 5. but to keep to the proper true Nature of Speech which God did set forth in the beginning and the same by his People hath been in practice throughout all Ages the hight of Pride is such in many People of this Age that they abhor to receive thee and thou to themselves in which words they themselves render their Prayers to the Lord which doth manifest their Disobedience to Gods holy ●ruth which leads to pr●●tise every good Work which doth not appear in them which will not in love receive thee and thou to themselves without esteeming of it as ill breeding then what breeding are such of who render their Prayers to God ●n or by the same words of thee and thou which they ●ccount Ill Breeding in the People of God whose Communication is Yea Yea and Nay Nay and Thee and Thou ●o a single Person and You and Yee to more then one but ●vil Communication corrupts good Manners and it is ●il for People to live in that which is inconfident with ●●e Truth of God who brings forth his Children with the same Breeding which in dayes past his People did manifest by their upright living in all manner of good Life and holy Conversation which in this day among them account the Scriptures the Rule of Life how contrary are they to the Scriptures in the words and actions of of their Life for among many if not the greatest part of them called Christians in this day who will not in love receive thee and thou from their Parents neither will Parents in love receive thee and thou from their Children nor the Rich from the Poor for according to mens outward Wealth or their place in Authority and outward Power do Peopler spect them in their words and actions as with Hat Hand and Knee you Sir and your Servant Sir and of the like too tedious to mention which are so many and ridiculous that by such Fruits with many of the like nature they may with the ●pirit of God b● Judged that they are far from a L●●●e or the holy Scriptures and the Spirit of God which is their Condemation 〈◊〉 there is matter sufficient con●ained in the Scriptures for Pe●ple to learn the proper Nature of speech and to call th● Days Months as there recorded ●or every mans learn 〈◊〉 and not to practice you and ye to a single Person and th● or thou to more then one neither to call the Dayes 〈◊〉 Months by that Name which the Heathens and the 〈◊〉 Saxon Pagns have put upon them according as will 〈◊〉 low in their Idolatry when they worship the Sun fr● which they called the first day of the week Sunday a● the second day of the week they worshipped the M● from whence came Monday and the third day of 〈◊〉 week they worshipped the Planet called Tuisko 〈◊〉 which came Tuesday and so following from their I Woden came Wednesday and from their Idol Thor 〈◊〉 Thursday and from their Idol Friga came Friday 〈◊〉 from their Idol Seater came Saturday And the Heathens called Mars the godd of Battel and from thence they called the first Month March and Venus they called the godd of Love and Beauty and from thence they called the second Month A●ril and Maja a H●athen Goddes called Flora and Flowris were called the Goddes of Flowers and unto Maja the Heathen Idolators used to sacrifice from thence was the Third Month called M●y and upon the first day of the same Month they used to keep Floralia i. e. Feasts to the two Goddesses of Flowers viz. Flora and Flowris and Flora was a Strumpet in Rome ●●at used on the first day of the month to set up a May-Pole before her Door to intice her Lovers from whence came May Poles to be first observed and from the Heathen Goddes Juno is the fourth Month called June and in honour to Jalius Caeser a Roman Emperor is the 〈◊〉 Month called July and the sixth Month took its Name August in honour of Agustus Caesar the Emperor and September October November and December are called from the Latines and Janus a King in Italy was for his Wisdom pictured with two faces whom they honoured as a Godd from this name Janus was the eleventh Month called January and Saturnus Plato Februs were called the Godds of Hell whom the Heathens said had the rule of the evil Spirits there and from Pluto Februs was the Twelfth Month called February Now as to them who have been and yet are accounted Gospel Ministers of Christ how have they neglected the work of God to let People stray from the outward Letter of the holy Scriptures to follow the p●actice of Pagans and Heathens as before related whose Fruits are not agreeable with the Truth of God as by holy Record appears and for a Tree to be good that bringeth forth evil Fruit all its days is a thing impossible for men do not use to gather Grapes of Thorns nor Figgs of Thistles and for T●●chers with
