THE EPISTLE DEDICATORIE IT will seeme all together monsterous and unheard of that a poore woman of a low condition shee being also a stranger should dare present a petition unto your worships the Illustrous and renowned Magistrats and Governours of this Citty but having understood the Pious and Charitable Answers which have beene given unto those that have addressed themselves unto your worships and how ready alwaies you are to administer Iustice with Iudgment have taken upon mee bouldnesse to do it also knowing that great Monnarchs among which wee reade of an Emperour being on Horsbacke ready to goe to warres allighted from his horse to heare the complaint of a poore woman the which wee reade of in a booke called Dorte of Marcus Aurelius Chapter 47. This Emperour although he were a Pagan being neere his death called his Sonne unto him admonishing him unto speedy Iustice towards all especially unto women recommending unto him the cause of a poore woman a widdow named Drusia which had a great suit against one of the senat by reason that at the last distrations her husband was banished I have great pitty of her said he unto his Sonne for there are three months past since she presented unto me her petition but by reason of my great affaires for warre I could not declare her Iustice and now right worshipfull seeing that by the will of God theise mournefull and unnaturall warres are neere to an end I hope your worships will be pleased to vouchsafe so much time as to consider my just cause for it is against a senat or consistory and this buissinesse is upon the cause of the banishment of my spouse I say spiritualli neverthelesse their power cannot reach further then the signe but in regard of the thing signified this spouse is entered by faith into my heart Ephesians Chapter 3 now my humble petition unto your worships is to desire your worships to grunt unto me that I may receive the communion among your people to the end I may not be deprived of that visible signe as by the grace of God I am not of the thing signified Shee most humbly prayeth that your worships would excuse her for her boldnes in presenting this her most humble and obedient petition where by shee Demonstrates the Sinister proceedings of her elders in their Consistory against her Jacquemine the wife of M. L. C. To the Right worshipfull the Magistrates of the Citty of Canterbury whoe are lovers of righteous Iudgement and dayly Carefull to execute true Iustice and to all reverend professors of Divinity and true Preachers of the word of God Jacquemine the wife of Michaell the Clercq wisheth all felicitie in this world and perpetuall happines in the world to come THe Complaint of a woman hapning unto her as it did unto him which was borne blind in the 9 Chapter of S. Iohn this man being inlightened by Jesus Christ would not blame him but spoke well of him for which cause he was cast out of the sinnagogue in the same maner this woman aknowledgeth to have beene blind a long time I meane of a spirituall blindnesse but after shee was Illuminated she could not endure to heare that Doctrine ill spoken of by the which shee was inlightened whereof shee advised many simple folkes fearing they should be deceiued by false and erronious Doctrine for this thing shee is thereatned to be cast out of the sinagogue which is to say excommunicated therefore shee sheweth the cause why they would do her this reproach and sets forth divers points which have beene preached falsely with hope that God will enable her to maintaine them unto her last drop of Blood Cantorbury Anno Dom 1645.

Mat 11. c. v. 25. it Lies in his power And liberty to be served by a womans meanes or els by a Childe if it be his blessed will buth not with that sort of oyntment but with a spirituall oyntment not serving for burialls but serving for new borne and renewing the poore Christian which is as yet ignorant among us one may say unto mee it is a ministers charge it is true but every one must know that he is bound to endeavour him selfe to advance the Glory of God without regard of sex age or condition Our Lord Jesus Christ doth give us that instruction at the 7. Chap. of the Gospell of St. John as is said in the last and great day of the feast Jesus stood and cried 37.38 v. saying if any man thirst let him come unto me and drink hee that beleeveth in me as the scripture saith out of his belly shall flow Rivers of living water but this spake he of the spirit which they that beleeve on him should receive Can any man excuse himselfe can we say I beleeve in Christ and it is enough no this Living water must drop from us or els we are not true beleevers in this wee may see the charge which our Lord gives unto those which have received gifts from him to share them unto others I speake not heere of those which have charge or governement over the Church but of the duty of those which are peculiar or private for touching the governement of the Church none ought to insinuate himselfe therein unlesse he be called there unto nor yet speake against it unlesse it be with a good and sound judgement to know if Gods word gives leave at the Galatians S.
