AN Introduction TO FRIENDS AND Friendly Readers WHereas my self with others concerned have given account of the Unjust Actions and Unrighteous proceedings of Francis Bugg as hereafter mention'd This I do say and in the Fear of the Lord testifie that it is not done out of Envy and Ill will to the Man or to insult over him by laying open his Nakedness but do truly desire his sincere and unfeigned Repentance even as we have done ever since he began this his Unrighteous Work and for that end we have waited long upon him and have laboured much with him for if wholesom Advice and Brotherly Admonition could have prevailed with him to have turned him from his Evil way which of late Years he hath followed a● this Narrative and his Malicious Books do plainly shew this had never been But seeing he still followeth his unruly work and will not be reclaimed to turn from this Evil Spirit which hath led him into these things we do look upon our selves Conscientiously concerned for the Glory of God and the Honour of his Truth and also for the good of all honest and tender People who have or may have better Thoughts of him than he doth deserve and that so under the Profession of Truth which he in some measure hath gone under and may thereby deceive or betray any and draw them from the peaceable Truth into that Spirit with him into Strife and Contention which hath been the work he hath followed these several Years which is the work and fruit of an Evil minded Man as saith the Scriptures An Evil Man out of the Evil Treasure of his Heart bringeth forth Evil things And Christ saith By the Fruit ye shall know them For Men do not gather Grapes of Thornes nor Figgs of Thistles Whereby he sheweth how impossible it is that ●n Evil minded Man should bring forth that which is Good And now having given a true and faithful account of the disorderly and unjust Words and Actions of this Man I with the rest concerned with me therein do leave it and commit it to the just Witness of God in all Consciences to judge of the wrong he hath done to Truth to me and others And whether he hath not iustly brought this upon his own Head since we could not prevail with him to forsake his unruly work And if any be hereafter ensnared hy him and drawn aside out of the way of the Lord they must bear their own Burden And I with the rest concerned in this matter shall be clear in which I rest believing God in his own time will clear my Innocency and more fully manifest his guilt who has abused me and others without any just cause given him by us who am a True Friend and Lover of all that truly Love and Fear God and a wi●ness against Envy and Deceit where ever it doth appear Ely Prison 17. 12. 1682. S. C. THE LIBERTY OF AN Apostate Conscience c. THis may satisfie all into whosoever Hands it may come that whereas there is a Differe●ce made by Francis Bugg of Mildenhall in the County of Suffolk with Samuel Cater of Little-Port in the Isle of Eley concerning a Fine about which the aforesaid F. B. hath been so troublesome to me other friends both in this County elsewhere which there has been raised untrue Reports and therefore for clearing the Truth and to satisfie all that desires a right Information of proceedings therein from the beginning thereof I have therefore taken care with some other Friends so far as they are concerned therein to give a true Narrative of the Business from the beginning to this very Day of the most material passages that so the Truth being known it may thereby appear who hath done the wrong in this matter him or my self for which I have been so long abused by him About the Year 1675 I being at a Meeting at Mildenhall where Francis Bugg dwells there came one George Ereind of Lakenhoath and desired me to have a Meeting at his House and before I promised him he being a Stranger to me and Francis Bugg being there I advized with him about it he having knowledge of the Man and he told me that a Meeting would do very well there and desired me to go so after I had spoke further with the aforesaid George Ereind and found he desired the Meeting in a serious and weighty consideration I found freedom in my self to promise him to be at his House the next Day and also told him he might let his Neighbours know it and accordingly I went and F B. with me and several more belonging to Mildenhall Meeting and when we came at the Friends House there came in several of his Neighbours and after some time spent in waiting upon the Lord and calling upon his Name in Prayer I was moved by his Power to stand up and declare the Truth to all that were there present in which time whilst I was speaking Two Priests with some other Men came into the Meeting and one of those Men that came in with the Priests asked a Man that was in the Meeting before what their Speakers Name was who said he did not know and a Woman Friend said his Name was written in the Book of Life where he could not read then they asked Francis Bugg what is your Speakers Name His answer was in the hearing of the Officers and Informers * Mark Fran.
