bare the Crown and the Bible the other on the left hand bare a naked Sword the Pommel whereof was of pure gold and richly adorned with precious stones the King had his chain of gold about his neck and he was all glittering with gold and precious stones he bare in his hand a Globe of gold His waiting Gentlemen were twenty eight clad like Courtiers with garments of mixed colour of green and blew to signifie his heavenly and earthly power Upon the Kings Girdle was written The power of God is my strength thus was the Name of God prophaned and blasphemed to cloak this Villains stinking infamy Farthermore his Title was The King of the new Jerusalem King of Righteousness throughout all the World The pompe of his chief wife for he had many together was equal to his own his servants were clad in green and bordered with a brown colour and upon their sleeve there was a world with a little cross about it and two swords thwarted a-cross He had his Throne set up aloft whereunto he ascended by three steps and all was beset with gold and Jewels The Law-suits which ordinarily came before him were for the most part about women and divorces insomuch as some who had lived almost all their 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 Knipperdoling's blasphemy and scrambling with his hands and feet being now above them he breathed upon the men one after another in their mouths saying The Father hath sanctified thee receive the Holy Ghost Confesses himself an whore-master One day he fell a dancing before the King saying Thus I am wonted to do with my whore 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 suddainly mounted into the Throne but the King surprizing him threw him down and three daies 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 arid reject the word of God they are by Divine judgement smitten so as to be an example unto the elect But let us behold their goodly glorious King now mounted with more then Royal Pompe 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 cryed all down 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 stiled During this Siege the Prophets of Munster published a Book which they intituled The Restitution wherein they maintained Muntzers damnable doctrine and an infinite of errours Afterwards in the Moneth of August on the day which is called St Bartholmews 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 Supper 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 twenty eight Teachers 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 Queen and the 28.
