My Lord Your Excellencies most humble Servants and Orators at the Throne of Grace Rob. Jenison Thom. Weld Thom. Wolfall Sam. Hamond Rich. Prideaux Cuth Sydenham Will. Durant Articles exhibited against Captain Robert Everard 1. HE maintaines and divulges many gross and destructive Opinions as the Page following shewes which are the constant and in a manner the only matter of his preaching the manner thereof being in a jeering and flouting way 2. He gloryeth that he hath gathered many Churches as he cals them of his own Opinion up and down the Land which if his eyes were opened would be his sorrow and shame 3. He is a notorious vain Boaster frequently and boldly biding defiance to all the Priests as he cals them in England to dispute with him when sorry man he wants skill to frame an Argument He brags he will dispute in Latine Greek and Hebrew and yet when he was put upon it he could not read one word in Greek or Hebrew 4. It s his frequent practise both in publick and private to scorn and cast an odium upon all the Ministers calling them Priests deluders of the People false Priests saying when he was advised to more sobriety he will Preach against them as false Priests and this he speaks against all the Ministers in England without the least exception and for all the Ministers in New-castle he saith in the Pulpit they are ●ool toyes and that when they will not dispute with him themselves they send their Dogs to bark at him He told also M.

He so interrupted M. Sydenham betwixt the Administrations of the Ordinances that it occasioned a Tumult in the Congregation at which time he so stank of Drink that many suspected he had taken too much 6. After he had preached sundry times in the hearing of many hundreds against any Original sin in man yet after Master Hamond in Everards own hearing had Preached the contrary Doctrine and Vindicated those Scriptures abused by him he came to M. Hamond and to amazement to see such impudency said that he had never Preached against Original sin and that they abused him that told him so but that he was just of his judgement in that point and would Preach the same things that very afternoon that he had in the forenoon and yet after this went and Preached against what M. Hamond had done and since that also in publick disputes maintains the contrary so that by these and such other like contradictions we plainly see that he will say and unsay any thing to advance his errors and further his design 7. It s usual for him when some of our Ministers preach the truth in the forenoon to step into the same Pulpit take up the same Text in the afternoon and abuse both the Text Truth and Minister too and tell the people the Preacher in the morning had deluded them 8. Such is his hatred to Orthodox Preachers that he said in a Sermon in publick that he had rather side with the Papists then with the Ministers of
