To the Reader Reader THe caus of my writing this little Treatise is not as an accusation against any but to cleare the truth from lying slanders that the wicked and Rebellious are readie to cast upon it who evilly intreated and shamefully abused the Messengers of the Lord especially at Drayton in Leicester Shire on two days that one day two Priests and another day six or seaven Priests did there meet and those called quakers by the world in disdain and reproach but to us reproaches is great riches as they was to Moses who was a quaker Heb. i2 2i Heb. i1. 25,26 On the twelf day of the eleventh Month by the world called Ianuary and according to their accompt i654 Him that the world calls Georg Fox went to Drayton to see his Father and Friends in the flesh and him that the world calls Richard Farnworth went with him and coming there they heard that Priest Stephens and others would give them a meeting to dispute with them notice there had been of it by the Priests party doth appear for many people gathered that day together concerning the same but George Fox and Richard Farnworth knew not of it until at Drayton they came and hearing thereof Richard Farnworth went up into the grave yeard and many people gathered about him in the mean while the Priests went into the Idols Temple at Drayton and some would have forced Richard Farnworth into them but he refused and said he was not come to uphold Idols c. Then several perswaded him to go into a great house like a Hall and the dwellers thereof came and said they should be welcome and have the command of the house and none should barre them c. Presently after came him they called George Fox into Drayton grave yeard and they thronged about him so for the truths sake they went into that great house like a hal and there they the Priests Priests party with others together there met and after some speech between the Priest of Drayton and him called George Fox there was a dispute about the spiritual man but severall times when him called George Fox and Richard Farnworth when either of them so called should by the spirit of the Lord have answered the rude people hailed them violently away severall times and stopt the mouth of Richard Farnworth with Fists and gloves and abused him sore and caused George Fox to bleed by their Cruell and Savage usage that day And afterwards on the i7 day of the same Month there was another meeting appointed at Dayton and the Priests gave notice of that and many Priests and people there was that day and very sore with them of the Priests party was him called George Fox used with violence that day the Priests party being set on him to undertake to use him so barbarously and cruelly as they did but truth triumphs over all deceipts and deceivers and the enmity of truths enemies the Priests and their party were abundantly that day made manifest such is the Fruits of the Priests flock and that which their ministry effecteth and hath brought forth and doth bring forth they may all blush and be ashamed of the same and Priest Stephens that laughed and rejoyced at the abuse of George Fox by the wickedness of his own people and they of his own house had a chiefe portion therein let shame strike the wife of priest Stephens his Son and Servant and also himself and the rest of the priests and their rude people that was there that day whose wickedness and folly did so much appear but in that I cease Read this little answering Treatise concerning the SPIRITUAL-MANS judgment which may cleare thine in the same and learn to know the ground of truth therein So I remain thy souls friends and all that love the truth Robert Farnworth This is to go abroad to stop lies and slanders that truth may be cleared c. GEORGE FOX coming to Drayton to his Fathers in the flesh upon the sixth day of the week being the twelth day of the eleventh month and after he had been there a little while Thomas balls man came to Christopher Foxes house and said that George had sent Nathaniel Stephens who calls himself Minister there a challenge and he miight come up to that which they call their Church for he said they could do nothing til he called Geerge Fox came but as for his sending any challeng to him as aforesaid that was false for no challenge was neither by him nor from him sent to the said Stephens priest of the said Drayton before mentioned nevertheless he went up into the Grave Yard and there fynding many people but the priest in the Steeple house and the people desyred him to go into the priest for they said it was cold and he and others could not endure the cold then he said a Minister of Christ could endure hardship hunger nakedness or cold and said to the people call him out hither into the yard then from the people some unsavoury speeches was given to us and so after a while seeing the priest would not thither come out unto us we went into a hall neer unto the grave yard and there two priests and a great company of people went into the said hall and for a time there was a great stir amongst the people whereupon George Fox did exhort them to be quiet and Sit down and keep their places it was for their sakes and the truths sake that he was come in thither and their teacher the aforesaid Stephens having told the old man Georges Father in the flesh that George had a familiar Spirit and there George ask d Priest Stephens of it who unto him denyed

it and then Christopher Fox told the Priest that he had said so unto him and he told him where also in a place in the Field which he then and there mentioned yet the Priest impudently denyed it and then George asked him what he did beleeve whether he had any such a familiar Spirit yea or nay the Priest answered and said he could not tel he might have a good he might have a bad then G. told him here thou hast manifested thy self to be no Minister of God but a false Minister for the Ministers of Christ the New Covenant of God they could discern Spirits and try them i Cor. i2 i Iohn 4. And as you may read in Isaiah he discerned the familiar Spirit and judged it Isa 8. And the Apostle discerned the witchcraft of the witches that had bewitched the Galatians read Gal. 3. And here thou hast manifested thy selfe to be a blinde guide who can put no difference betwixt the precious and the vile who hast no salt to savour withall therefore thou art good for nothing but to be cast out and troden under foot Mat. 5. then Georg told him that the spirituall man judged all things and Stephens and the other Priest Chester both denyed it and said the Spirituall man did not judg all things and they sought to cover it with their shuf●ing and deceit but could not for the Scripture in plainess proveth them lyars for it saith he that is spiritual judgeth all things as you may read i Cor. 2 i5 And here both Stephens and Chester preached another Doctrine contrary both to the Scripture and Apostles of our Lord Iesus Christ and have shewed themselves false Ministers which say the Spirituall man doth not judg all things and the Minister of God saith he did judge all things here you have shut your selves out of the ministry of the Spirit of God and denyed the Scriptures and the record that God gave of his Son and you have shewed another spirit contrary to the Apostles for the Apostle said the spirituall man did judge all things and your spirit saith the spirituall man did not judge all things here your spirit is tryed to be a false Spirit and proved to be a Spirit of error and you the false Prophets i Ioh. 4. 2 Pet. 2. Then it was asked the Priest whether he had the same Spirit they had which gave forth the Scriptures and he said he had not an infallible Spirit as they had and here I charge thee to have a false and fallible spirit for thou not having the same spirit that gave forth the Scriptures then another So a false Spirit and a spirit of error and here again thy Spirit is tryed as the Scripture saith try the spirits so thou and Chester that have no● that Spirit that gave forth the Scripture but you have another contrary to them and so you have not fellowship with the Father and the Son therefore you are they that are not to be received into the houses neither is it to you to be said God speed least they that do so be partakers of your evill deeds as may be read 2. Ioh. 9 10.ii verses And then it was asked the priests what scripture they had to take tythes of the people then one of them brought a Scripture which said be subject to every Ordinance of man when the Apostle witnessed the change of the Priest-hood that received Tythes and also the change of the Law by which they were commanded which was in the fyrst Covenant under the Law an Ordinance not of man but of God and Christ being come the end of the Law and some blotted out the hand writing of Ordinances which now who hold them up are against the New Covenant and us who be in it and that is no ground in saying be subject to every ordinance of man for you to take tythes and the Priests brought the 7. of the Hebrews as Melchizedeks taking tythes and the leviticall Priesthood and they desyred George to read that chapter Heb. 7. and as he was reading they laughed and hooted as they use to do that follow bull-batings thereat very uncivilly and unsavoury and so manifested both the priest Stephens and priest Chester to be the false prophers that cause the people to erre by your lyes and by your lightness and have not profyted them nor profyts them at all as your fruits do make it appear and as you may read Ier. 23. who was sent to cry wo against such and in the seaventh Chapter of the Hebrews the Apostle who spake of tythes to Melchizedek before the Law and then tythes in the Law and also the change of the Law and he spake of the change of the priesthood that was under the Law and when he had spoken of tythes to Melchizedek before the Law and then tythes to the Leviticall priest-hood in the Law for the Law made men ●… High priest and the Apostle witnessed the change of the Law and the change of the priest-hood which received the tythes and now saith the Apostle of the things which he had spoken of before of tythes in the days of Abraham to Melchizedek before the Law and tyths in the Law the change of the Law and the change of the priest-hood and so the priest-hood being changed to whom must people pay their tythes now here the Apostle was a Minister of the New Covenant and shewed forth the types and the fygures and the things in the old Covenant and the priest-hood that received tythes and change and some of them So you teachers and people which bee pleading for things in the fyrst Covenant and priest-hood that the Apostle witnessed fulfylled and denyed as the Scripture it self doth bear testimony and here you manifest your selves to be against Christ and against him Antichrists And very rudely and unsavourly did the people hale him they call George Fox til he bled at that time before the priests face and the priest said he was his spirituall father whom he called George Fox and Goorge he there denyed him and shewed that the priest was a minister but of the letter and not of the spirit that gave forth the letter he preached and then he was fain to call for his naturall Father to take him away and when they could not stop the word they would have stopped the Mouth with the outward hand and the priest said he would pray for him but hee denyed his prayers for his prayers that is not from the same spirit that gave forth the scripture is from a spirit of error and then the priest said George being come to the light of the Sun sought to destroy and tread upon his Star light but that was false for the least measure of light he doth not destroy but the Darkness that he calls light George doth deny yet the light in thy conscience will witness what he hath spoke when the book of your consciences is opened and him to be a lover of all

to have no other inheritance amongst the Tribes set apart to do the work required under that Law and were Aaronicall and Leviticall and had a store-house to minister out of from the Tythes by that Law to the poor the widdows fatherless and strangers Num. 18 20,2i c. Numb 4. Deut. i4 29 Malach. 3 i0 He and they that claims tythes by command or a Law of God and are not Aaronicall and Leviticall nor set apart for that service they was who took tythes by command and hath no store-house neither do their gates stand open for the poor the widdows and fatherless thither to come and strangers also to be filled and satisfyed that there may not be a beggar in the land as there was not to be a beggar in Israel but maintained out of the tythes and such as do not as aforesaid and the things in that Law and Covenant contained which was imposed upon them as to circumcise and offer burnt offerings and what by the Priests under that Priesthood were of them required such as do not are by that Laws end and all that witness it to be denyed and by that Law such hath not right to tythes that do not what it of them requires but to be denyed who do not their work therein required that had the tythes a peculiar gift for their service only during that ministration But Christ is come the end of the Law and Covenant in which tythes were paid and he is the everlasting offering and end of all burnt offerings and Sacrifyces that were under the Law are now ended and ceased and so tythes where the New Covenant is witnessed and the Priesthood being changed the Law is changed also and Christ is the end and sum of the things spoken of in Heb. 7 8 9 and i0 Chapters Therefore sylence tything Priests and tyth-mongers you that take tythes deny Christ come in the flesh to put an end to the Aaronicall and Leviticall Priesthood in which they were paid but not in the Gospell therefore are you denyed and are no Ministers of Christ the new Covenant nor the Gospell but declared against by such as witness the unchangeable Priesthood of which Christ Iesus is head and the Saints high Priest praised be the Lord for the riches of his love Something of Chester Priest of Witherley about nakedness PRiest Chester of VVitherley who out of the pride and presumption and evill of thy heart with a lying tongue said to George Fox maliciously Sirrah dost thou heare the old Fox shall take thee and carry thee to the Goale and there shall help to kill thee and to take an Iron and thrust thee thorough this Iohn Smith doth witness Let all the Children of light judge of thy evill heart and take notice of thy envy and false Prophecy who art that lying Prophet thou would have covered it over with zach i3 3 but there is no mention of Sirrah not that the old Fox there nor that hee should rake George and carry him to the Goale nor that he should do as thou said but in it thou hast manifested thy lying Spirit and the envy of thy heart and to be such a one as said when the other Priest was reproved for lying that it was no lye but a slip with the tongue but such covers will not hide Serpents their nakedness from the truth doth appear and wo to all such that cover but not with the Spirit of the Lord that they may adde Sin unto Sin as thou dost and such in thy nature read Isa 30 i Mat. 23.33 Thy foul Spirit and unclean garments are seen and naked thou are from the truth and when thou was contending with the young man in the grave yard against one that had been moved to strip and put off here our cloaths to fygure out such as thou who art naked from the truth and hath thy cloak of dishonesty and coverings of deceit to cast off and all such as thou art but in vindication of the truth against thy deceit I told thee Isaiah the servant of the Lord in his days he went naked in obedience to the word of the Lord to Figure out to Egypt and Ethiopia what the King of Assyria should do unto them Isa 20.3,4,5 And thou lyar said Isaiah did not act or do the thing as to go naked and bare-foot thou said it was but a vision and not an act done till there openly I took a bible and with Isaiahs sound words of truth confuted thy lies therein for thou said he did not do the thing and he said he did do it to wit put off the sack-cloath from off his loyns and the shoe from off his foot and go naked and bare-foot in obedience to the word of the Lord Isa 20 i,2 by Isaiahs words left upon Record in the Scriptures art thou proved a lyar therein and thou was proved a lyar in other things and so manifested thy lying Spirit who thy self art that false lying Prophet speaking lyes of the truth and lyes of Isaiah the true Prophet and servant of the Lord thou said hee did not go naked and bare-foot and hee saith he did go naked and bare-foot and he is to be believed for there is this proofe for it Isa 20. but none for thine against it therefore stop thy mouth thou lying Spirit thou said the Spiritual man did not judge all things and he saith he did judg all things and is to be trusted and believed in what he said there is proofe for his truth i Cor. 2 i5 but none for thy lyes therein against it thou lying spirit and false Prophet that lyes of the true Prophet and of the Spirituall man thou art one that preaches for hire and seeks for thy gaine from thy Quarter as false teachers like thee did which the Lord sent his servants to cry against therefore art thou to be cryed against as such was Ier. 5 30,3i Isa 56 i0 ii Mic. 3 ii Ezek. 34.2 Pet. 2. Iude 1i and that of zachariah the i3 3 shall stand for thy self and all such as thou art and also zach i3 4 To Priest Hill and Priest Mousall c. PRIEST HILL who accused RICHARD FARNVVORTH because he would not tell him what the soul was by him was answered again that he to wit Richard Farnworth had sent severall quaeries to Priest Hill and Priest VVhetstone to be answered and the quaere about the Soul was one answer the quaeres and that in them it was said to Richard Farnworth again upon the same that they could not be answered whereupon Richard Farnworth said to the Priest do you two Priests return so much in writing under your hands that you cannot answer them and acknowledge your ignorance therein and it should satisfye him c. Priest Mousall that day in Drayton grave yard out of fury struck Richard Farnworths bible out of his hand who would have had Priest Mousall by it to have proved his practise according to Gospell order but could not
