how God would Strip them of their Power and that they should be as Naked as he was and should be stript of their Benifices All which came to pass after King Charles the Second came in And moreover he was made oftentimes to colour his face black and so black they should be and appear so to people for all their great profession and so it came to pass And then when it came to pass he was made to put on his clothes again who was made before many times to go through Markets to preists-houses and to great Mens-houses and Magistrates-houses and to Cambridge stark naked And the Mayor of Cambridge put his Gown about him being sensible there was somthing in the thing And he was made to go through London naked and this was all before the king came in And he was obedient unto the heavenly command and often ventured his Life and it was given up Who many times did receive many stripes upon his naked body with Thorn Bushes so that when his service was done Freinds were forst to pluck the Thorns out of his flesh But he was caried over all by the mighty power of God I say over all his Persecutors And the Lord brought the things upon them for which he went as a Sign who was moved by the Lord to go to Barbados where he finished his dayes He was bred and born in Lancashire and there first received the Truth G. F. And this is my Testimony for our dear B●oth●r William Simpson who went naked for a sign against the Professors and their unjust dealings before the King came in And many sore Blows he bore on his naked Back with Staves Wands and Hedg-bindings he bore a Testimony against their Profession and standing and through the most part of England he went and now hath he laid down his Body in Barbados where God made him serviceable in his Truth there to preach the everlasting Gospel so them that sate in darkness he brought to the Light and them that sate in Death he brought to Life This is my Testimony for him Elizabeth Hooton Going Naked A SIGNE OH Church of England This is unto thee who livest in oppression and cruelty pride and covetousness a day of misery is coming upon thee thy nakedness and shame is coming upon thee as an armed man from which no man can hide thee neither Hills nor Mountains shall be able to hide thee in this the Day of the Lord neither shall the Clefts of the Rocks preserve thee from the Day of the Lords Controversy with thee Thy nakedness and thy shame is near to come upon thee from it thou shalt not fly Oppression and cruelty hath been as a staff for thee but the Lord is arisen to break thy Staff of Oppression and thou shalt be left naked though thou hast seemed to be the glory of the Nations with thy deceitful covers but now thou shalt be left Naked and Nations shall be ashamed of thee Howl and weep ye Teachers for the Lord is gathering his people from you and ye shall devour his flock no more The Day is coming upon you that none shall buy your wares any more ye Marchants of Babylon All your Scarlet colour the Lord our God is coming to take off Then your Nakedness shall appear to many Nations and you shall sit as a Widdow and ther shall be none to comfort you Distress and anguish shall take hold upon you and pain as a woman in travell and is not able to bring forth so shall your misery come upon you The Decree of the Lord is gone out against all unrighteousness he will surely reward every one according to their works for as a troop of Robbers lye in wait for a Man so a company of Preists by consent lye in wait to murther the Innocent Lambs of God and for their sakes the Lord is risen in his mighty power to break the bonds of wickedness and to set the oppressed free for the Lord hath heard the groaning of his Seed and he is risen to deliver to bring it out of Captivity and from under the taskmasters where his Seed hath been long oppressed by unreasonable M●n But the Lord will spare no longer but he will reward the oppressors double into their bosoms and his seed he will deliver Oh howl and weep your day is far spent Night is coming upon you that you shall not have a Vision nothing shall be left to cover you As naked shall you be spiritually as my body hath been temporally naked in many places in England as a sign of the nakedness and shame that is coming upon the Church of England who liveth in oppression and cruelty and all who lift up a weapon for her shall fall in the shame with her which will assuredly come to pass So all sober people consider your ways and turn to the light which comes from Iesus that with it you may be gathered unto the Lord from the false Teachers to the teachings of the Lord from the false Worships to the worship of the Lord in spirit and in truth for a necessity was laid upon me from the Lord God of Life and Power to be a Sign But before I was given up to the thing it was as death to me and I had rather if it had been the Lords will have died than gone on in this service But when the Word of the Lord came unto me saying Go on and prosper It was sweet unto me as the honey and the honey Comb. And blessed saith Christ are they that are hearers of my Word and keep it William Simpson THE END
