That their Praises and Services were not acceptable to the Lord but they were an abomination to Him and she had no sooner spake these Words but she was hauled out by one John Hudson a Glover 〈◊〉 he did kick her all the way out of the Colledge and did justle her against the Colledge Gates and as she was passing homeward to her outward dwelling Place one of the aforesaid Hudson's Daughters was at a Pump right against her Fathers house and threw warer upon her into her neck and passing a little further one Edmond Sa●ter a Taylor did throw a piss-pot of Urine upon her and several other abuses which the poor old Woman hath suffered which would be too tedious to relate Likewise another poor old Woman being moved to go to the Steeple House before that she could get into it to declare her message she was stopped by the rude multitude both of Schollars and Others and hauled away they thrown against the ground and kicked and stoned along the Streets and threw dirt upon her and abused her shamefully and several other times she hath been persecuted either coming into the Town or coming home her House being almost at the Towns-end Likewise two Maides passing out of the Town with a Friend they were mocked at and scoffed at and abused and at length passing over a Bridge they were both thrown into the Water by the Schollars and one of them was almost stifled in the Water and the Schollars mocked them and said they had Baptized them they threw them off of a high stone Bridge into a deep and dangerous place and it was a mercy they were not drowned And John Peace passing out of the Town in the Winter Season when the Snow was great the unruly Boyes seeing him coming they hasted to make great Snowballs and when he passed by they threw at him with all the Force they could one snow-ball hit him on the Eye so as he thought it had dropt out into his hand so that his Eye was very sore for a Week and at another time standing in the Market-place in Obedience to the Lord he was mocked and scoffed and abused and kicked by the Schollars and they thrust pinns into his Leggs and likewise there was one rude Fellow did come upon his Back and thrust him with all the force he could from one end of the Market Hill to the other several times insomuch as he could hardly keep himself from falling And Luce Feild going to the Steeple House with another freind she with the other Woman had their Head-cloaths pul'd off their Heads by the Schollars and their Cloathes rent and torn and abused them very shamefully and threw dirt and dirted their Faces and Eyes that they could not see And when our Friends have been moved to speak to the Schollars they threatned to kick them This we have suffered besides all other abuses we have suffered from time to time going to Meetings and about our Occasions sometimes being stoned and dirt flung upon us and our Cloathes torne and rent-in-pieces and spit in our Faces as we pass along the Streets all which is and hath been done by the Schollars and young Ministers so called at the Nursery of young Ministers as they are called And when these comes from their Nursery they sell their Ware at a dear rate and after all these things had been done unto us by the Nursery of young Ministers and we had patiently borne all these things of the Schollars at the length it was so ordered for the truths sake that we suffer for That we hired a House for a publique Meeting place and then as truth began more and more to be published openly the rage of the Heathen began to be great And first of all the Schollars envy appeared against the House and some wished that it were pulled down others that it were burnt down to the ground and in the night time the Schollars threw stones and dirt against the VVindowes and broke the VVindowes very much and they shott Bullets into the Chambers at us and slung great stones but the Man that we hired the House of carryed them to the Master of the Colledge and shewed them to him and told him how that if those things were suffered That he durst not lye in the rooms and said he lay in danger of his Life or words to that

purpose and then he making them give him satisfaction for breaking the VVindowes they were a little quiet as to that thing then the Priests and Professors began to be in a great rage and would have given any thing to have prevented our Meetings so publiquely and some as the Man informed us which we hired the House of offered sums of money to have prevented our Meetings and the Priests would have given the Man that Lett us the House so much a year as we gave for it to have prevented us of the House and one who is called Mr. Huffe one of Jesus Colledge so called as we are informed offered 10 l. for his own particular That the House might be taken from us again And one who is called Major Jordan which was a Master of Arts as they call them That have taken the Degree whereby they may go forth to deceive the People he now lives as a private man in the Town he said if God's Plague was in the House meaning the Meeting-place it could not be more offensive to the Colledges then the Quakers Meetings were and moreover encouraged the rude Schollars and the young Ministers so called to rudeness and he said further That the Man that lett us the House had better have set fire to it and have burnt it down then to have let us have it And further as any Friends came out of the Country to hear the Truth declared they were stopped and had before Alderman Br●an as looking upon him to be the Man to act most against the Truth he being a great favourite of the rude Priests having much trading by and from them but as he did commit any to Custody the then Mayor did set them Free being a moderate man and considering their envy and wickedness And Priest Hill of Magdalen Colledge so called on a first-day coming from his morning worship being a Proctor so called he met with one or two of our Friends and he caused them to go with him to the Constable and wished him to have them before a Justice but he was unwilling in regard he knew that the Mayor had released some before of our Friends he came forth with the Constable and what order he had we knew not but the then Mayor sent for them and charged the Constable to release them which did exceedingly inrage the Schollars and the rude multitude insomuch that they came into the Meeting House and stormed like so many bedlams or mad People because they could not have their wills nor any wayes break our Meetings so that many hundreds of the Schollars came resolved to do what they could in the malice of their hearts against us and one rude fellow a Painter who hath preached for the Schollars when they have not a Sermon ready they get him came in and was sett on by the Schollars to sing a Psalm and so he did and a great many sang with him and some laughed and hollowed and made a noise mocking and scoffing but did sing but three or sour lines and then the Schollars broke out into a laughter and so as in former Ages the Drunkards made songs of David and he was had in derision daily by such unclean Birds as these are But they not prevailing this way over us with all their mockings and scoffings and tauntings at us The Schollars then fell to acting with their hatts and hands all they could imagine and having a Mayor come to bear Rule in the Town who they thought would let them alone in whatsoever they did they took incouragement and fell on to do their Masters Works with boldness and for several first-dayes were so brutish that it is even a shame to relate but that all may see what Fruits are brought forth in this Fountain and see what bitter-water streams forth into this Nation from this Place I shall give a little taste of the Schollars Fruits which they bring forth And first As we were fitting peaceably and waiting upon the Lord to hear his Truth declared unto us they came and put up our Hats and looked us in the Faces talking unto us sometimes hollowing hissing and making sport and when it hath been desired of them to be sober they said They did not come there to be sober sometimes calling for Bear and Tobacco and telling us We 〈◊〉 out the Spirit Now if these things are not all to be condemned judge you yourselves and whether it is not a shame that these should have the name of Nursers of Piety and Plants for Ministers And when they had done what they could to provoke us unto words by pulling some of our Hats off and taking us by the hand and some by the nose and yet could not prevent our Meeting or break it up they threw several things at us as Apple Cores and Parings and Tobacco-pipes besides mockings and scoffings and one Paris an antient man was hauled about and tumbled down and trod upon by the Schollars in the Meeting and several times they cracked nuts and slung handfulls of shells at Friends saces and said They would by these Actions make the Spirit speak And the Schollars pul'd the Womens Head cloathes ost in the Meetings and daub'd their hands over their Face and piss'd in the Entry among the People and daub'd the look of the Door and key with Dung that we could not tell how to touch it After one of their Doctors in Cambridge had assaulted Thomas Nicholson the late Mayor in the Street the next day at the Steeple-House several Schollars there appeared in Contempt against the Mayor and one of the Schollars hung a piece of his shirt-tayl or linnen or some such thing upon the Gown of the Mayor's Officer in contempt and derision to the Mayor because the Doctor had not the Wall of the Mayor as he would when he in contempt assaulted the Mayor And when Friends have been moved to speak to the Schollars they have threatned to kick them And is this called an Eye of the Nation and the Nursery And is this great pudder in the Nation for Maintenance for this Nursery to maintain these Schollars in these Actions And are these the Men that must teach the Nations And is this Your breeding of Them Surely modesty would shame at these things if it were amongst You Who have been warned often But your Actions must come to Publique View that the Nations may not be deceived by you Who are worse then the Pharisees whose out-sides are not fair And at one meeting when the Schollars saw that all their unseemly and irreverent Scossing and Mocking at what was declared would not break up the Meeting then they threw Tobacco-pipes and when that would not do what they intended to have done nor did not move us but we patiently suffering for the Truth 's sake then the Schollars were resolved to pull down him that spake and cryed aloud Down with him Down with him several times together and did attempt to do the thing but were

prevented by the power of the Lord and they would run through our Meeting-place like so many wild Horses throwing all down afore them and did hollow stamp hisse and shout on purpose that none should hear what was declared and thinking thereby to silence William Allen who then spake but could not and they seeing all this would not do any thing as to fulfil their wicked desires then they let down the windowes and shut up the doors so that at one end of the House next the street we had not any light and then the Schollars laughed and scoffed and said Our Light was Darkness and they had shut us up in Darknesse and words to that purpose and then the Schollars clapt the windows up and down as if they would have broke them off the Hindges and when we opened the doors they shut them again and when they threw Friends down they would tread on them And these things they acted in the time of their Worship And seeing they could not with all these wicked Actions break up the Meeting then they appeared more and more filthy and brutish and the Schollars began to stamp with their Heels against the boards and made a noise as if several Drums had been beating up and laboured what they could to prevent him William Allen from speaking Then they went out into the next Yard and took old wet Mapps and old Dish-cloaths and dragged them through the dirty Kennels and came and threw them at our Friend that was speaking and at us also and therewith mired and dirted Friends And there was a great strong wooden Chaire which a Friend sate in to bear the rude Schollars and People off from William Allen that spake and because the Schollars could not make him rise up that sate in the Chaire to give them way to fulfil their Wills the Schollars pulled the Chaire all to pieces and made it in two horns and poked William Allen in the face with it and shouted and hollowed as if they had done a great matter and threw some of the Chaire at him and at Friends But this would not satisfy their mischievous desires but they did abuse the Friend that sate in the Chaire and pulled his Coat all to pieces off from his back And the Mayor being coming from the Steeple-house the Friend went and told him what the Schollars had done unto him and shewed him his Coat which was so rent but there was John Lowrey one of the last Parliament he instead of doing Justice and punishing the Offendors said That he might have stayd at home after he had asked him Wherefore he came And the man said To hear the Word of God I came 9 or 10 〈◊〉 out of the Isle of Ely And further at the same meeting the Schollars threw dirt and clay and stones and other things as Bones and rotten Apples and what they could gather up in the street and flung at William Allen and friends and cut his lipp that the Blood gushed forth and battered his head in two or three places besides what blows he had on the body and the Schollars tore Alderman Blackley's Son's Coat off his shoulders and one rude Schollar took John Peace by the hand and took two fingers in one hand and two in the other hand and pulled them as if he would have broke them each from the other which put him to great pain the Schollar threatned him that when he mett him in the street he would baste him And the rude Schollars called Alderman Blakely Old Rogue and scoffed at him and abused him very much And John Peace hearing the Mayor was coming by he went forth of the meeting and spake to the Mayor and some others with him desiring him in the fear of the Lord to execute Justice upon the Transgressors and one of the rude Schollars standing by the Mayor which had threatned him and pulled him by the fingers as above mentioned he told the Mayor of him and the Mayor turning and looking upon the Schollar did say something to him but the Schollar denyed what he had said and done and then John Peace told the Schollar he was a Lyar whereat the Mayor was offended at him for reproving him of his wickedness So that Night he was moved to write to the Mayor and carry some of the Dirt and Stones and shewed him them and told him if he did not execute Justice against such Offenders the stones should be a witness against him and so laid them at his Door and left him to read those lines and soon after the Mayor sent for John Peace when his Passion was over and began to reason with him and said It was not civil for him to tell the Schollar He lyed I told him I spake Truth in so saying He said I was not to speak Truth at all times And this was sad that a Magistrate should teach such a Saying and at that time the Mayor gave him a Warrant to the Constables but they did nothing to prevent the rude Schollars for the next day many of the rude Schollars came to the Meeting and were resolved to pull William Allen down and to break up our Meeting which they had often atempted and truly it is to be feared that Murther was in their hearts For some of the People of the World have come to some of our houses who have seen the Carriage of these rude Schollars in our Meetings towards us to know whether some of us were not murthered And they have spoken great swelling words forth but the Lord kept them from acting any such thing if they did intend it but at the Meeting they were so wild and bruitish and shameless and nasty we mean the Schollars That they did hawk and spit such nasty filth upon William Allen and Friends faces and hair and loathes that his hair was like unto froth and that it was a shame to see it and William Allen said his face was stiff with the filth which was spat upon his face by the Schollars and as we parted from the Meeting one Luce Field was thrown down into the kennel by the Schollars and her Hart trode in the dirt And several times passing from the Meeting several Friends have had mire and dirt thrown upon them by the Schollars and there hath been almost a whole street full of them hollowing and tearing of Us and the Keeper of the Library in Cambridge hath boasted of these and such like Actions of the Schollars And the rude Schollars have eften taken up Womens Coates in the Streets as they passe along and in the Meeting fleshly filthy lustfull Beasts and would lay hold on Women in the Streets and lugg them and pull them and kisse them in the Meeting and in the Street and if they turned their Heads from one Company other Schollars would come on the other side and kisse them and these Schollars have made antient Women to stand in the sink untill they had torn the Coates off their Backs Now are
