mutined The King proimseth them Deliverance before Easter It not coming he fains himself sick and puts a Cheat upon them by reason of the extremity of Famine their King promised them assured deliverance from God before Easter When Easter was come no sign or token of their deliverance appeared Then the King feigned himself to be sick for six days afterward assembling the people into the Market steed he told them that all that while he had ridden upon a blind Ass and that the Father had laid upon him the sins of the whole Multitude so that now they were cleansed and freed from all Vice which was the Deliverance which he promised unto them and therewith they were to hold themselves contented When the Bishop's Strength by common Supplies from the Princes of the Empire were much reenforced matters in the Town grew to that Extremity that by means of two Persons who conveyed themselves secretly forth of the Town it was at last surprized by the The City is surprized The King Knipperdolung and Crecliting taken alive Rotman is slam Assailants though with much ado and Bloodshed even after they were entred Their King with Knipperdoling and Crecliting their two false Prophets were taken alive But Rotman their Reformed Preacher seeing no hope to escape desperately ran in amongst the thickest of the Armed Companies and by them he was cut in pieces The three Persons aforenamed were carried about the Countrey as a Spectacle to sundry the Princes and others thereabouts and after were brought back again unto Munster The Bishop of Munster demanded of the King by what Authority he took upon him to rule in that City Who asked the said Bishop again by what Authority he the said Bishop claimed any Power there When he answered that he had it by means of Election of the Chapter and by Consent of the People the King replying said That himself had his Authority from God After two days had been bestowed with them to reduce them by godly Persuasions from their Errors Leyden their King confessed his Leyden repents Knipperdoling and Crecliting arc obstinate They are all three executed Sin and desired Forgiveness at Christ's hands But Knipperdoling and Crecliting would confess no fault but defended their course and Opinions with great Obstinacy So all Three being tied unto Posts were dismembred by piece meal and pulled in small pieces with hot burning Pincers and Tongs and afterward their Carkasses were hanged up there in Iron Cages but the King in the midst and much higher than the other two as his Place required Besides certain especial Opinions which Some of their Erroneous and Heretical Doctrines these Anabaptists held namely That Young Children were not to be baptized and touching Lawfulness of Poligamy or having many Wives Of Community of Goods and that Christ took not Flesh of the Virgin Mary c. they also taught and defended many other strange erroneous and heretical Positions And yet they shewed as much Devotion outward Holiness and Purity as might be As for example they held these following viz. That a perfect Christian might not exercise the Office of a Magistrate nor might take an Oath before him That God doth now oftentimes shew his Will by extraordinary Revelations Dreams and Visions That the common people have an especial Authority in determining and establishing of Church-causes That before the day of Judgment the Kingdom of Christ shall be such as that the Godly and Elect shall overthrow and subdue all the wicked and then they alone shall rule in the earth That it is lawful for the People to depose and put down the Prince or Magistrate That Ministers and others godly affected ought to establish though it were by Force a Reformation in all Countries That Princes and Magistrates ought not to pursue this kind of persons for that they are Innocents and the beloved People of God That the Seat of David which was fallen down must be reestablished and that Christ now in the latter end of the World shall reign externally upon the Earth That the time of besiege they then lived in was that where of Isaiah prophesied wherein the just and godly were afflicted and persecùted That the time of their deliverance and enlargement was at hand which should be like to that deliverance of the Israelites from the Thraldom under the Babylonians And that then the wicked and ungodly shall receive the guerdon and recompence of all their Impieties committed against the Saints all the ungodly being rid out of the way the seat of Righteousness should be prepared and advanced That there is none efficacy or force in that Baptism wherewith Infants are baptized All which they obstinately defended and yet whensoever they were charged they pretended that they would acknowledge and confess their Errors if they should be shewed unto them by the Scriptures to be Errors Now as I have done afore in the History A comparison of the Anabaptists in Munster with the Disciplinarians in England in Opinion and Practice of Thomas Muncer I must crave leave that with the Readers patience I may also briefly compare and resemble some of the Dealings and Errors of the Anabaptists of the City of Munster with the actions and opinions of these late Conspirators and of their Disciplinarian Schoolmasters from whom they have sucked like Poyson For did not Hacket the most ignorant of all the three being but an unlettered Maltster in like sort take upon him to rule the other and to mannage the whole Action and are not the most ignorant of such as be of this humour most presumptuous to direct all others and to discuss deepest doubts Have not their mutual cohortations and seditious instructions with their conceived Prayers and hypocritical Fasts that they practised in privy conventicles and assemblies given greatest strength to his faction to the seduction of numbers Have not the Magistrates now as great cause to look into these proceedings before they make head upon confidence of their multitudes Have not all the stayed and sound Preachers of this Land by sundry Maleperts and now again by Arthington been most insolently challenged unto disputation Hath not the cause of this pretended Discipline been nevertheless quashed oftentimes in Pulpits in publick disputations in the Universities and by learned treatises written whereby the weakness and meagerness of their childish collections have been fully displayed Will they make any hast or dare they to offer disputation if such conditions assistants and indifferent and learned Judges as are fit shall be set down and appointed and being beaten from their ordinary means have not these Conspirators and such as have animated them betaken themselves unto pretended extraordinary Callings ravishings in Spirit carryings into Heaven Revelations Dreams and Visions Have they not seditiously filled out Streets with their like hypocritical Outcries of Repent Repent c. and by gathering of Routs tending to Uproar and popular Tumult If their purposes had succeeded and their Prophecies of
