Image pray to the King or worship contrary to the Law of their God see Dan. the third Chapter and Chapter sixth for their Adversaries could find no occasion against them concerning the Kingdom but sought Matter against them concerning the Law of their God and God appeared for them in their Faithfulness to him to the Conviction of their Persecutors insomuch that both Nebuchadnezzar and Darius confessed to the Power and Kingdom of the God of Heaven who is God of Gods and Lord of Kings saying I Nebuchadnezzar praise extol and honour the King of Heaven all whose works are truth and his ways judgment and those who walk in pride he is able to abase And said King Darius I make a decree that in every dominion of my kingdom men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel for he is the living God and stedfast for ever and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed and his dominion shall be even unto the end Dan. 6. 26. So that he would have had all his Subjects Quakers when he saw the Kingdom of God above his own Again although we are most unjustly traduced as Temporizers because of our Applications to the present King and Government and partly because of some former Letters writ by some Particulars to the Protector and Parliament warning them c. this is no proof of our Adversaries Charge against the People called Quakers their many and great Sufferings both in those Days and since to keep a Conscience clear to God still acquits them from being such Temporizers c. as John Pennyman has infamously rendred them since we the said People have not looked for Salvation from the Mountains nor from the Hills but from the Lord of Hosts we have not reposed our confidence in the Arm of Flesh nor in Princes but in the over-ruling Power and Name of the Lord our God It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in Man it is better to trust in the Lord than put confidence in Princes Psal. 118. 8 9. Again put not your trust in Princes nor in the Son of Man in whom there is no help happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help whose hope is in the Lord his God which made Heaven and Earth c. which execute judgment for the oppressed Psal. 146. 3 4 5 6 7. Moreover we have not been wanting to warn and admonish those in Power both Parliaments Protector and King against Persecution and Oppression as the Lord hath laid it upon us nor has any of our Addresses to the King been to stop any Prophet or Servant of the Lord among us from warning him c. So that our clearness from our Adversaries unjust Imputations is manifest divers ways and of these things he cannot be altogether ignorant And as for his citing of G. F. to the Protector and Parliament warning him to keep Kingship from off his Head which some would have given and his bidding the Powers of the Earth take beed of making earthly Kings c. And what can John Pennyman make of this He should have allowed this Construction as he has for others that if O. C. had been made King as some would have had him he would have been the greater Hypocrite and it was his zeal for the good of those People that had been against a King to warn them of setting up or making such an earthly King in their earthly Wills as his Words are plain as in the other passages cited before and this Zeal and Fear of the consequence J. P. does not go about to disprove as erronious there but would have it run most to our disadvantage wherein he probably may think his way secure seeing us a People that have been trod upon as to our Persons and Estates being exposed to so many Sufferings and Spoyls as we were he can throw dirt upon us render us obnoxious to the Government and so help to afflict us and trample upon us our Testimony and Christian Reputation to bring us under Infamy Reproach and Disesteem if possible yea and the severe displeasure of the Powers and yet pretend to abhor such a thing this is the nature of his Temporizing Malice and Revenge God will stop him and frustrate him in his Carreer with his private Abetters and Assistants I doubt not What he cites of E. Boroughs Answer to the Apprentices Petition 1659. against bringing in a strange Nation c. an oppressing Monarchy c. this he might easily have excused with that same Provision for others in the like Case as namely it was out of his Zeal and Fear that it would have been worse with the Nation c. But says he all these Lines are left out and so he saith of F. H. in one Paper And upon some other Passages in E. B's Works of divers Words being left out expunged c. This Man might very well have let E. B. alone since he is gone to his rest if he had been charitable or but as good as a Moral Heathen among whom it was a Maxim de Mortuis nil nisi bene but especially since J. P. had Time to have told E. B. of this in his Life-time he being not here now to answer for himself and doubtless he was so tender a Man as he would have heard him if he would have given him any friendly Caution but thus to clamour and abuse Honest Men that are at rest is very ignoble especially since J. P. owned them in their Life-time and some Time after and F. H. Nor do we think our selves bound directly to prostrate our Judgments concerning all particulars before such a malicious Adversary as J. P. or so far to own his Prosecution of Men so long after they are dead when they cannot be here to answer for themselves however dare our Adversary say otherwise of E. B. and F. H. than that they were sincere-hearted Men to what was then manifest and zealous Servants and true Prophets of God and vindicators of Truth in the several Currents and Streams of their Writings as may be seen in their Prophesies and Conditional Threats against the late Powers c. And did not thou J. P. say That E. B. was faithful in his Day and I doubt not but their Names are recorded in the Lamb's Book of Life though abused by this Man wherein all may see his Malice is so deadly that it extends to the very Grave as if he would hang us all up even the Dead as well as the Living As for what he cites of G. F. to Oliver dated the eleventh Month 1657. as to the Success he might have had if he had been Faithful and thundered down Deceit and asking why they put such as feared God out of the Army Sober Men and True Hearts such as the Lord owned c. How plain is it that he judged O. C. as one unfaithful to his former Promises specious Pretences for the Liberties and Properties of the Subjects for
