Here is a Figure pray mark it very well Another I can make I do you tell But this may serve to be a Looking-Glass To shew you plainly how Things come to pass But if you say We never did profess The Scripture for our Rule in any Case But Judgment we 'l give out as we see cause Not minding Justice Equity or Laws Then I do say another there needs not To manifest the same since 't is my lot Which for to do I here declare and tell The Scripture I must take to do it well Because it is however in my esteem The truest standing Record I have seen Condemning Errour in the Judgment Seat But Truth and Justice it maintains compleat This was wrote and sent in a Paper I called Speeches and Passages among other things to W. P. against the Yearly-Meeting which was held the 20th of the 3d. Month 1678 and to the Meeting I went my self and told W. P. that I had long sued for a Hearing by Persons indifferently elected but could never as yet obtain it and having used all Gospel ways and means for Justice amongst our selves which hath proved ineffectual I am now minded to appeal from your Judgment Seats to the Episcopalians So after W. P. heard that he bad me leave it to him and he would take it upon him to procure me an indifferent Election So I did and home I came and soon afrer this S. C. was humbled and tho he had said he would go no farther than our Quarterly-Meeting yet now he sent me word by J. M. that I should have such a Meeting as I desired Alas his Superiors had commanded it and he was constrained to obey least Deprivation should follow the Sin of Disobedience c. So we met at Ely and became bound to each other in a Bond of thirty pound to stand to the Award of our chozen Men whose Names are as followeth c. F. Bugg's Men. Thomas Berrier Senior Robert Turner William Bellsham John Parnel Edward Neele Thomas Bird S. Cater's Men. Gyles Bernadistan Thomas Sowtor Steven Williby Thomas Wright Robert Letchworth William Wright Now before I go any further I may shew the Opinion of two Learned Men in defence of my Opinion of appealing to the Episcopalians for Justice when not attainable amongst our selves The 1st is R. R. in a Letter to T. C. where he thteatens him That if he cannot prove his Charge against R. T. c. that he had wherewith to make satisfaction for the Defamation which it may be they will require of thee so that thou mayst seem to consult thy own Safety The Church saith R. R. will require no such Satisfaction from thee but they cannot restrain men in their Civil Concerns from seeking Justice in a legal way c. By which it is apparent that this R. R. G. W's Learned Friend and the Second-days Meetings Clark his Opinion is 1. That T. C. had need to consult his Interest unless he could prove his Charge of Defamation altho no Defamation but what T. C. asserted is generally known by the Second-days Meeting 2. That though the Church will seek no such satisfaction yet she cannot restrain men in their Civil Concerns So that in their Civil Concerns and in the defence of their Reputation they may take a Legal Course against Defamations and other Injuries acted by injurious Persons And truly altho I differ from this R. R. in several things about Womens-Meetings and their Jurisdictions and other things relating to Church-Government yet in this he is of my Opinion for after I had sued for a Hearing by Persons indifferently elected and used all Gospel Order among our selves to obtain the same and all proved ineffectual then and not while then did I offer to appeal from our selves to the Legal Judgment-Seat for Satisfaction not only for Defamation and many Slanders cast upon me both as a Man and Christian by S. C. which he had cast upon me several times but also in a Case of Property about Meum and Tuum this was then my Opinion and it remains so still S. C. being as little related to me in Church Society as T. C. can be to R. R. only the Reader may observe upon what small occasion this R. R. threatens a Legal Course to be taken Viz. for signifying what manner of Persons they own in their Society being conformable as M. and S. B. T. M. J. S. W.

to Meetings and all other Services he requires at their hands And that I may the better confirm my Opinion herein I may incert part of the Apology of Athanasius that good man in his time and the rather becouse he confirmed his Perswasion with the Authority of Holy Scripture which by an eminent hand of Divine Providence hath been conveyed down to us who though unworthy of so great a favour because so much slighted Behold Eccles Hist de Socrates Schol. Lib. 3. fol. 299. 300. says Athanasius the leud Practices of wicked Persons altho they are privy unto these hainous Offences yet for all that they are nothing ashamed of the Contumelies and cruel Tyrannies exercised against us but charge us in their Opinion with a foul Spot and blemish of Infamy for escaping the hands of Cut-throats and Blood-suckers yea they beshrew themselves that they dispatch us not out of the way moreover to the end they may stain my Credit and Estimation they fall to accuse me of faint Courage and timorous Disposition That we should fly in such Cases the Scriptures are on our side They that were grieved and far indebted unto others gave Saul the slip and fled unto David If they reproachfully charge them that hide themselves from such as seek their Lives what have they to say I beseech you when they hear that Jacob fled from the face of his Brother Esau and that Moses for fear of Pharaoh conveighed himself to Midian what have these contentious Quarrellers to say unto David who fled from Saul which sent his Guard out of his House to slay him who hid himself in a Cave counterfeited his Person untill that subtilly he had passed Abimelech the Priest and avoided their laying of wait for him What answer can these Bablers give when they see that the great Prophet Elias who so devoutly called upon the Name of God and raised the dead was fain to hide himself from Ahab and run away because of the threats of Jezabel for it is is written how that in those days the Sons of the Prophets being sought for hid themselves and through the help of Obadia lurked in Dens Are they ignorant also of such things as the Evangelists have written For the Disciples fearing the Jews stole themselves from among them Moreover Paul being at Damascus and sought for by the Governour of that Countrey was let down over the Wall in a Basket and so escaped the Magistrate Thus the holy Scripture hath remembred the Behaviour of holy men furthermore the word of the Father who in old time spake unto Moses hath commanded in these latter days When they shall persecute you in this City flee unto another The which when holy Men had learned they framed their Trade of Life agreable thereunto For look whatsoever the Lord commanded at that time the same he uttered by the Mouths of his Servants yea before his Incarnation And this is the way to Perfection for men to perform that in Deed which the Lord commanded in Word Wherefore the Word of God being made Man for our sakes stick't not to hide himself as we commonly do when he was sought for and again to flee to the end he might avoid the Conspiracy of the Pharisees which petsecuted him for even as by Patient Sufferance of Hunger and Thirst and such kind of Miseries he would shew himself to be true man so also by fleeing from the face of the Adversary moreover even from the very Cradle and Swadling Clouts as soon as he had taken flesh of the Virgin being as yet but a Child he gave charge unto Joseph by the Angel saying Arise take the Child together with his Mother and flee into Aegypt for it will come to pass that Herod will go about to seek the Life of the Child Likewise after the decease of Herod that Archelaus the Son of Herod Reigned in his stead it pleased him to go aside into the Parts of Nazareth Afterwards when he made himself manifest to be God and healed the Withered-hand the Pharisees went out and took counsel how they might dispatch him but Jesus perceiving their Conspiracy conveyed himself from among them Again when he restored Lazarus to Life from that day forth saith the Text they took council how they might put him to death Jesus therefore after that time shewed not himself openly among the Jews but departed into a solitary Place adjoyning to the Wilderness Besides when our Saviour avouched saying Before Abraham was I am the Jews took up Stones for to throw at him but he hid himself c. When they see these Examples but they seeing it as it is written do not see and bethink themselves of these Presedents are they not inwardly pricked in Conscience when they presume thus unadvisable to blot out Sentences of Scripture and sit in Judgment both upon the Sayings and Doings of our Saviour To this purpose was that of Jesus who understanding of the beheading of John the Baptist and burying of his Body by his Disciples took Shipping and went aside into a Desert Place Thus the Lord himself both did these things and taught the same I would to God that these men would now at length be ashamed of these Doings and cease even presently from slandering of true Professors and not proceed on further in their furious Disposition charging yea our Saviour himself with timorous Fear and faint Courage blaspheming with all might the Majesty of his blessed Name but no man can away with such kind of Persons that are wholly given over to all ungratious Behaviour it may easily be proved that they are altogether ignorant of what the Evangelists have left us in writing The cause that moved our Saviour to fly and go aside being laid down in the Gospel seemed not only to be agreeable unto Reason but was in very deed most true we therefore have to conjecture that the same by all liklihood happened unto all the Saints of God for whatsoever things are written to have chanced unto our Saviour after the manner of men we have to referr the same unto all Mankind insomuch as he took our Nature upon him and lively expressed in himself the humane Affections of our frail Constitutions even as it is written in John's Gospel They sought to take him but no man laid hands upon him because his hour was not yet come Yea before this came about he said unto his Mother My hour is not yet come He spake also unto them that were called his Brethren My time is not come Again when the hour was come he said unto his Disciples Sleep on now and take your Rest behold the hour is at hand the Son of Man shall be betrayed into the hands of Sinners Therefore neither suffered he himself to be taken before his time was come neither hid himself when the hour was at hand but yielded himself unto the Enemies In like sort the blessed Martyrs in the great heat and troublesome Storms of Persecution which often
