raging waves of the Sea foaming out their ow● shame trees that are twice dead pluckt up by the roots Whose end as St. Paul saith is to be burned Likewise they cast off the ordinances of Jesus Christ accounting them as needless and unnecessary They have no need they say of the Word of God nor no need of Prayer they are above these things above Ordinances yea I may truly say they are past grace For say they We may live as we list They have no sin in them at all but whatsoever they do is good being according to the light within them and the motions of the spirit with which they are possest But miserable wretches as they are they deceive their own souls as St. Iohn saith in the first Chapter of his first Epistle and the last Verse If the spirit within them bid them do any thing though it be never so wicked they say it is God The Lord anoint their eys with the eye-salve of his spirit and cast out of them this foul unclean spirit with which they are possest that they may see the evil of their ways and abhor themselves and repent of their Blasphemies that so the Nation may be no longer deluded by them Secondly for the practices of these wicked men how foul are they and what a height of wickedness and uncleanness is there amongst the most of them What roarings and howlings do they keep when they meet together alrighting even the Beasts that hear them as if God were served by their roaring and howling like Dogs What Witchery and Sorcery is there amongst many of them so that those that have but come to see them have been bewitched by them to follow their pernicious wayes and so have brought everlasting destruction upon themselves As one near to Newbery of late who ran naked into the Congregation upon the Lords Day and after giving away all his estate which was worth two or three hundred a year he ran away in this condition from his wife and children Likewise one near Durham who had been a great Professor of Religion for a long time and a man of good parts but something given to Novelties going to hear these people cald Quakers was presently bewitched by them that he ran up and down the Town in a confused manner crying out very blasphemously I am the Way the Truth and the Life and thus he continued for the space of two or three moneths some●imes running naked about the stree●s in the night being as he said so commanded to do by a voice within him which voice was the voice of the Devil with whom he was really possest as he himself hath since confessed it having pleased God since to bring him out of the snares of the Devil after a most miraculous manner that others might see and take notice and abhor those wicked ways The Devil having possession of him he was sometimes caried forth so violently by the power of Satan to act and utter such strange things that he soon became the chief among them to the great grief and sorrow of all his friends who perswaded him with tears to desist from those wicked and pernicious ways but all in vain for he was still possest with this blasphemous opinion That God was in him and that what ever he did was from God when it was onely from the power and delusion the Devil as he himself since hath to the glory of God confessed This man being in his bed the voice within him spake unto him as follweth That he was CHRIST and came to live and abide in him and that he should have two Angels always to attend upon him At which there appeared two in the likeness of Sparrows comming down the Chimney which came and sat upon the wall by his beds-side which he conceited were the two Angels spoken of before After which the voice within him began to speak again in a most wicked manner saying That he was Christ and was come to dwell in him all which he beleeved Then upon a sudden was he carried by a more then ordinary force from his bed and his hand conveyed to a knife which lay in the room Having this knife in his hand the point of it was presently set to his throat and a voyce heard saying Open that I may enter in At which it pleased God to smite this mans heart and by his Almighty power to hold back his hand from cutting his own throat therewith and then through the mercy of the Lord to him he saw how he was deluded by the Devil and so flung away the knife and ever after forsook and abhorred these wicked and accursed ways to the great joy and rejoyeing of all his friends The truth of this Relation was testified under his own hand together with the hands of the Mayor and Minister of the Town with several others The next I come to speak of is one Iames Parnel Who most blasphemously said he was Christ and that they should see he could do miracles And then the Devil deluded him to fast forty days and forty nights which he said he would do that so they might see that he was God He being in prison at Colchester for his blasphemy there began his Fast and for several days he would eat nothing and seemed very pleasant but being narrowly watched that he might eat nothing privately and so delude the people he in less then a fortnights space began to desire food which was dayly offered him before if he would have eaten it and then being a weary of his fasting he began to eat but to little purpose for what he eat went through his body as fast as he eat it and then when he would have eaten it gave him no sustenance and so in two or three days after he died in a most miserable manner being guilty of his own death Like unto him is now one Iames Nailer now in prison at Bristol for the like blasphemies This man being a principal man amongst the Quakers was looked upon by them as their God all of them owning and receiving for truth what Iames Nailer spake whose blaspemous opinions are very well known by most men This Iames Nailer taking upon him to be Christ and by his accursed sect and followers was so owned and looked upon yea and worshipped as Christ This blasphemous fellow did in September last past ride through the City of Bristol on Horse-back conducted by others of this wicked sect who went bare-headed along by his Horse side others strowing the way as they went blasphemously cried out Hosanna Hosanna in the highest Holy Holy the Lord the Holy One. Having passed quite through the City in this blasphemous manner he took up his Inne where his wicked Disciples washed his feet and the women wiped them with the ha●s of their heads For which accursed and abominably blasphemous practise he was after committed to prison there and is now sent for up to London by the Parliament to answer for the
