Mass-house all that he had left which was not much was seized on for Debt yea the very Bed that was under his wife when she lay sick upon it and as this gain-sayer did so did Robert Rich before mentioned if not much worse as to his life and Conversation for he turned with the sow after she was washed to the wallowing in the mire again who Demus-like imbraced this present world and went out from us and so became a Man-pleaser and a time-server And these are Iohn Pennyman's Innocent men But these and he too Considering their ungodly Life and Death may be a warning to him and all back-sliders and gain-sayers to repent and return unto the Lord while they have a day and time afforded unto them lest they be cut off in their sins as these two men with R. Ma●lins were and their blood be upon them For I can say by the experience that I have had in my Travels that wo from the Lord is to them that do oppose the good Order that is settled and established by the Power of the Lord among Friends in several Countrys for my Soul well remembers how it was hurt and in some measure betrayed by this I. Perrot's spirit and writings But this was before I had any acquaintance with him but afterwards when I came to know him I soon see through the great love of God unto my Soul that he was not the man I took him for And then I sent a paper to Friends in England to testifie against his spirit and that he was not Really in that unity and true love that he had talkt so much off but was out of the possession of it as his fruits before mentioned did soon make it manifest And then I was moved of the Lord to bear my testimony against his Spirit Principle and Practices many times yea I have been made to go many miles to places where he was to reprove exhort and admonish him to repent and return to the Lord and to be reconciled to the Brethren but all would not prevail with him for he grew past feeling the Lord having Left him and he was past feeling even as Trees twice dead pluckt up by the Roots And thus like a withered branch he as well as R.M. and R.R. Ended their days Oh! That it may be a warning to all that are living who are Couvinced of the pure Truth and have any desires after the Lord that they may follow after Peace Love and unity therein which is very Comly amongst Brethren the God of Peace and Love Bless all such in all things that you take in hand Uprising and Downlying in your goings out and commings in in the Basket and in the store that so ye may be Holiness to the Lord is the hearty desire of your Real Friend and Brother in the Truth Iohn Taylor A Testimony against Robert Rich and Iohn Perrot and their filthy Books lately printed against God's People in Scorn called QUAKERS IS it not an Unworthy thing for R. Rich to publish in print the private Discourse that G.F. F.H. E.B. and others had with Iohn Perrot in which Friends did admonish him about his Extravagant Expences and Wearing of his Hat in time of Prayer and other private Discourses and he to publish the same many Years after And did not I.P. manifest in the End that he had great Need of such Admonition And as for I.P. and R.R. laying his and their Keeping on their Hats in Prayer Ranter-like upon the Lord in time of Prayer was it not known in Iamaica and Barbadoes how I.P. could afterwards follow the Complements of the World and put off his Hat as others did to Men and R. Rich also in Barbadoes Who made a great Pudder because we judged I.P. for not being Uncovered in time of Prayer to the Lord. And did not Iohn Perrot keep on his Hat in Prayer and then did not he turn again to the World and put off his Hat to the World And therefore such unstable Spirits we never could have Unity and Fellowship withal in the Light of Christ when they go from it And it is well known that it was not only the Paper concerning the Hat which Friends desired I. Perrot to call in but also another Paper which for Modesty's sake we cannot mention And whereas he sayes We denyed him a Meeting That 's False for we had a Meeting with him at Wm. Travers his House and other Places And a many Lyes hath I. Perrot uttered which are not worth speaking of And he said It was contrary to his Conscience to put off his Hat in the Sight of God and then presently after he alter'd his Conscience and could put it off to Men. And as for I. Perrot's Iustifying himself and Boasting of his Dispute with the Papists and Challenge to the Pope the End of that did manifest it self which was not for his Credit and he needed not to have boasted of it And did not I. Perrot undo himself his Wife and Children and run out so that Friends were fain to Keep his Children who boasted of Restoring Friends the Money laid out for him And Friends had more Compassion and Tenderness to his Wife and Children than he had who were fain to take Care for them because of his Extravagancy And did not the Prophecy become true upon him in the End For did not he turn like the Worst of Men And because we dealt Plainly Honestly and Truly with I.P. he falsly calls us Persecuting Spirits for he saith G.F. waited to see pure Fruit in the Life But what was his Fruit and his Life in the End And R. Rich publishes a Letter of I. Perrot's and sayes It was written a little before his Death And are not these horrid Lyes Was he not run into Drunkenness and Swearing of People long before he dyed And why could not I. Perrot send his Letter to G.F. and others as well as to R. Rich much of which were Discourses of Friends which they had in private with I. Perrot in London where he hath added many Perversions and Lyes to their Words and sent them to R.R. but never to them that were concerned which R.R. hath basely done to print and publish them for they never came to them that were concerned therein while I.P. was living Further R.R. sayes G.F. endeavours to Limit the Life of God in others Which is a Horrid Lye that we are sorry he should Dye unrepented of For G.F. would have all People come to the Light of God and Christ in their Hearts And many such Lyes are uttered in his Book which are not worth the taking notice of And People may see that I. Perrot was turned from the Truth the Quakers profess when he had got Gorgeous Apparel and a Velvet Coat a Staff tipt with Gold and a Carnal Sword and was shooting off Gunns on Ship-board and making of Feasts which R.R. seems to justifie And G. F. and others might very well send Papers after him to
