reveal and also till a testimonial do come from the said place that her report therein is true being she hath told you that her dwelling house is against the white Lyon in Southwark and it hath not been found so and this we hope you will judge reasonable and so let it be manifest you are a terror to evil werks and workers and bear not the Sword in vain And whereas she saith she once walked innocently and unblameable we answer we know not that but were it so that will no more excuse her then it will excuse the fallen Angels of whom Jude speaks who keeping not their first estate but lost their pristine habitation and are now reserved in everlasting Chains under Darkness unto the judgment of the great Day for it is not what we were Yeares or Weekes past or what we formerly could witness of the Lords presence and preservation but what we can witness the Lord is to us and what he is in us to day that must speak us peace and satisfaction So in that which sets Truth a top of all deceit and deceivers We rest your Friends Colchester 4th of the 3d. Moneth called May 1666. Jo. Furly Junior George Wetherly Daniel Deacon Solomon Furmely John Pike Nicholas Prigg POSTSCRIPT SInce the giving forth of the said scandalous Paper it hath been received by some honest and faithful Men of divers Counties whose Testimony concerning Her Paper is as followeth That many things therein contained are notoriously false as if need require may be made appear divers honest and faithful Men and Women being by her accused whose innocency is apparent in the Country where they live and those things that have an appearance of Truth we need not to deny having denyed the Persons by whom such things were acted long ago many of them long before those abominations were acted by them and though divers have turned from the way of Truth and others have taken up the profession of it for a Cloak of their ungodliness and thereby to accomplish their own ends and designes as she hath done who are no more to us then she is yet this will not render the way of Truth odious to wise and sober Men nor be sufficient cause for any to judge the worse of those who according to the Principles of truth do hold their integrity and keep faith and a good Conscience so as none have cause to be elevated or glory over us who are innocent or to villify the way of truth owned by us either from her slanders against some or pollutions of others who are denyed by the innocent People called Quakers neither would the Magistrates or People of England be dealt so by or generally accused because of the scandalous lives and enormities of many of their Priests and members which would fill Volumes to repeat And therefore considering how deceitfull and false this said Woman hath appeared and is like further to be manifested by her cheats and falshoods which through most Counties of this Nation she hath acted we hope that the Magistrates of Colchester will appear more ingenious and more prize their own reputation then either give credit or way to her revilings or have a hand in the divulging of them for that if her Paper should be further divulged in the Nation divers innocent Persons therein slandered and calumniated with others that know their innocency will be necessitated to testifie against her her Paper and the abetters and promoters of it so we wish all to be moderate and ingenious in such causes and for as much as she hath been much talked of through the Nation of many pranks and deceiving tricks acted by her in Corners and By places among simple people for the prevention of the like for the future let all take notice of the Description of her Person as followeth A tall woman somewhat long vizaged freckled face pock-broken and red hair and flaxen coloured browes a pretty full eye and very confident impudent and subtile but as for name or place of abode she hath gone by so many as Sarah Mary Susanna c. sometimes Brierley Cole whitehead Travers Hall Robinson Wilson c. sometimes of Bristol London Stratford Southwark Chelmsford Ipswich Whitby Newcastle c. that it is in vain to mention any or describe her by any one one more then another her certain Name and Country being yet unknown even to the Magistrates themselves THE END * As in many places borrowing Money and pretending she would bring it or send it again in a few days but never did And sometimes pretending to leave Gold in pawn and instead of Gold pieces would leave Shillings sealed up telling people there was so many pieces of Gold And sometimes borrowing Scarfes Hoods Riding Cloaths promising to leave them at some remarkable Friends house and did not And much more such wicked and ungodly actions too tedious to relate
