A FULL RELATION OR DIALOGUE Between a Loyallist and a converted PHANATTICK since the time of the late Rebellion relating their wicked conspiracy and barbarous intentions whereby their divellish plots is more fully discovered then ever it was before Gently disputed between them both Together with the Phanaticks Lamentation and farewell to that Crew Published as a warning-piece to all Rebellious Sectaries Printed for F. Coles 1660. A Dialogue betwen a LOYALIST and a PHANATTICK Enter Loyallist STand who approacheth there so néer the walls of our Government lurking in the dark like a ravening wolf in shéeps cloathing Phanattick Behold O man and see for lo it is I even thy fellow creature and one of the faithful Loy Ha ha say you so indéed are you one of the faithfull in good faith by and by I shall try your fidelity Phan. Then take me and try me for thou shalt not find me to be even as other men are Loy Why truly it is very likely so and I shall take your bare word for 't wherein I took you at first to be an honest man now I doubt I shall find you to be a knave Phan. Why even as thou findest me so mayst thou leave me Loy No don 't you believe that I will part with you so soon untill you have declared unto me the secrets of your brest Pha. What knowest thou not O man what the word says that a revealer of secrets is no less then a fool Loy Gad it is to be feared that you are more knave then fool therefore demonstrate unto me what you are Pha. I shall answer unto thee O man That I am one of the Tribe of Ephraim who now am come to advance the Cause of the righteous and to seek after the rest of my brethren Loy I so it seems you are a brood with a pox to ye but we shall be as careful to look after them as you shall Phan. Nay but I tell thee O man they are a people elected Loy I believe so for Dan has a great suspition of it Pha. Of their innocency he may for they have done nothing but what they must answer for Loy I answer for 't without dispute either guilty or not guilty they must say Phan. Verily verily they thought no more harm but to search out all that were not of their Sect and smite them to the ground with the edg of the sword which as we counted was the work of the just Loy Why then justly they shall have their reward for 't I le warrant ye even to a tittle of what they deserve Phan. Why indeed as the labourer is worthy of his hire even according to the Word so let it be Loy But were there not a great many hirelings amongst them think you Phan. Yes there were many that came out by hands even to advance the cause of th faithfull being a people cal'd and led by the spirit Loy I but others do imagine they were led by the Divel else humane nature would have blush't at their boldness Phan. No no alas they were of undaunted spirits in the fancy they took to that they feared neither God nor Divel Loy Why so the people report indéed they were of such magnanimous spirits men far more flitter for the Gallows then a Garrison Phan. Yea in the City do I imagine so but truly truly they were so zealous in all their ways that whatsoever idle fancy they took to they would stand it out to the last Loy So it séems indéed but now I doubt they 'l be hang'd fort at last poor harmless Athists 't is a thousand pitties that ever one of them should dye in their beds Pan. Nay but hearken unto the words of my mouth O man and I shall speak unto thee For as I lay in my bed my thoughts troubled me and I heard a voyce say unto me arise and girt on thy sword and fight the battel of the faithfull then I awaked out of my sleep and did as I was commanded for the spirit did move me Loy No the Divel did move you that evill spirit on purpose to raise up the throne of Antichrist and so crown your selves with the horn of Rebellion Phan. Nay but O man our meaning was not so nor our intentions no more but to abollish all Laws and subdue all Satutes O what an ease would it have brought to the Lawyers Secondly to have cast off both King and Government then what a liberty had we given to the Nation Thirdly to have puld down all Churches and Chappels O then what a trouble had we quitted the Clergy of Fourthly to have brought all things under our power O then what a government had the people then lived under Loy Yes and I believe you would have massacred in houses too before you would have fall'd in your wicked Enterprises Phan. O man the Spirit did call us thereunto and bid us fight valiantly and spare not one alive contrary to our Sect which thing must be done before we could accomplish this mighty work that the spirit hath moved us to take in hand Loy Why truly you may sée what the Spirit hath done for you and how it hath led you first to Newgate then shortly to Tyburn where he will leave you to your deserved merits Phan. Verily verily I shall answer unto thee again and say That our host were numerous had they béen but together and our power innumerable but there came others more mightier then they and smote them back and side and slew them where-now they remain for the sins of their bretren and cannot obtain this mighty work Loy Yes I believe it is too mighty for for you to accomplish Phan. Hear thou me and I will answer thee again we were a people of the faithful and did not intend to do it with the hands of men Loy What did ye intend to do it with the hands of Divels Phan. Not we did intend to do it by prayer and though our hearts did pray yet our hands should fight and though we flew as many in number as the sand on the Sea shore yet would we leave a Remnant alive to wonder at the deeds we should do Loy No marvel indéed to wonder at the déeds you should do when so many thousand do wonder at the déeds you have done already but you know what the Word says The trée that bringeth not forth good fruit wall be cut down and cast into the fire Phan. Nay fellow creature I must tell thee Loy Nay don't tearm me thy fellow creature for I am none of thy fellows Phan. Why then I shall thee O man the prudency of our Counsels are turned into foolishness and the hand of the City has bin upon us Loy Have a care the hands of the hung doth not fall on you P. Why shall the faithful dye for the sins of the people Loy No but they shall dye for their divellish Rebellion Phan. Nay then I will sit down and complain of my misery
