life long together now separated one from another It came to pass one day that when the people were in the Market-place close crouding and in a throng to hear that Knipperdoling leaped on their heads and scrambling with his hands and feet being now above them he breathed upon the men one after another into their mouthes saying The Father hath sanctified thee Knipperdolings blasphemy receive the Holy Ghost One day he fell a dancing before the King saying Thus I am wont to do with my Whore Confesses himself an whoremaster but now the Father hath commanded me to do it before the King but because he did it too long and would not make an end the King was angry and went his way He suddenly mounted into the Throne but the King surprizing him threw him down and three dayes kept him in Prison Is there not here to be seen a wonderfull rage and madness Who could have believed that any bearing humane shape should have been left to commit things so foolish absurd villanous and execrable but it cannot be otherwise with such as violate trample upon and reject the Word of God they are by Divine judgement smitten so as to be an example to the Elect. But let us behold their goodly glorious King now mounted with more then Royal Pomp where is the spirit of these Anabaptists who were so ready to reprove and reject others At first they cried out against all if they saw any Matron wear silk or any man of fashion to wear a gold Ring they cried down all but now their glorious King Taylor omitteth nothing that may set forth his Pomp and State In the beginning they would not bear to hear that any honest man should be a Bailiff or Governour of a Village but soon the wind is changed and now by command from the Father their King is not King of a Village but of the whole World for so he caused himself to be styled During this Siege the Prophets of Munster published a Book which they intituled The Ristitution wherein they maintained Muntzers damnable Doctrine and an infinite of Errours Afterwards in the Moneth of August on the day which is called S. Bartholomews the new Prophet called John Twiscoscar sounded the Trumpet through the streets and cried out that All should meet in Arms about the way to the great Church for they must give a repulse to the Enemies of the City being thither come they finde a Supper ready which the King had provided and by command the people did sit down to the number of four thousand the King Queen and Courtiers waited at the Table Supper almost being finished the King gave unleavened bread to all Becolds mock-mock-Lords Supp●r saying Take eat declare the death of the Lord then the Queen presented the Cup saying Drink declare the death of the Lord. Behold the brave Supper of these Anabaptists which was rather a voluptuous Banquet the Table of Devils then the Table of our Lord Jesus Christ Now when the Supper was ended the new Prophet gat him up into the Pulpit and asked them whether they would obey the Word of God they all said Yes Twiscoscar reveals that 28 Teach●rs must be sent forth he told them then that the command of the Father was that they must send Twenty eight Teachers of the Word Then he named them in order declaring the place whither each should go Six were sent to Osemberg as many to Warrendort eight to Susar and as many to Corsfield The King and the Queen with those that served at the Table supped afterwards The King and Queen and the 28 Teachers sup together and those which were appointed to be sent forth As they were at Supper the King rose up and said That he had received a Commission from the Father whereas upon an adventure there was a Souldier which had been taken the King accused him that he was a Traitor as Judas and with his own hands cut off his head This being done he returned to sit down at Table and by way of merriment recited what he had done After Supper within night they caused the twenty eight above-mentioned to depart out o● the City and over and above their expences they gave to every one of them certain pieces of Gold to leave in such places where their Doctrine should not be received in witness of their perdition and eternal damnation for their refusal of the peace and doctrine of Salvation And when they were arrived at the places assigned unto them they began to run through the City with horrible cries crying Repent repent otherwise ye will suddenly perish then they cast their garments upon the ground and threw their pieces of Gold which were given unto them upon their garments assuring them that they were sent by the Father to bring peace unto them if they would receive it they commanded them to put all their goods in common if they did refuse it by this sign and as by a mark they did bear witness against their ingratitude and evil deeds for behold the time now is come which was foretold by the Prophets wherein the Lord God would that Righteousness should reign through all the earth and after that the King shall have discharged his trust and shall have so done that Righteousness shall reign every where Then Christ shall deliver up the Kingdome to the Father Upon those words they were apprehended and in the beginning fairly demanded then by the Rack examined of their faith life and Ammunition of the City They answered that they alone had the true Doctrine which they would unto the death maintain for since the Apostles time the Gospel was not truly preached and that there was no righteousness that there were four Prophets two of which were true namely David George and John Becold of Leyden two were false namely the Pope and Luther worse then the Pope Being asked why they drave the honest people out of the City against their faith and promise and detained their Goods Wives and Children and by what Text of Scripture they could warrant that unrighteousness They answered That the time was now come wherein the Word of Christ should be fulfilled that the meek should possess the earth and that God in this manner gave the goods of the Egyptians unto the Israelites After they declared their Ammunition and Victuals that was in the City with their Garrison some of whom had above five Wives Moreover that they looked for Souldiers from Friseland and Holland who being arrived the King would take the Field with all his Army to reduce the whole World under his power and subjection after he had slain their Kings which did not righteousness After they were questioned and still persisted in their opinions they were all beheaded except one who escaped At the same time there arose another Prophet called Henry Hilvers a wicked man subtil and wary he came to declare unto the King and the people that the heavenly Father had
