G. impious and declare him unworthy of Christian burial and that his body and books should be burned which was accordingly affected DAVID GEORGE a man born at Delph in Holland the miracle of the Anabaptisticall Religion having lived in the lower Provinces forty years did in the year one thousand five hundred forty and four with some of his kindred and companions in the beginning of Aprill begin his journey for Basill in the state and condition of which place he had before very diligently enquired Whereof having sufficiently informed himself he pretended that he had been driven out of his Countrey for the Gospels sake and that he had been hitherto tost both on the land and sea of the miseries of this world and therefore he humbly intreated that now at length he might be received into some place of Rest Some being by the representation of his misfortunes and his teares melted into compassion towards him he presum'd to intreat the Magistrate that in tendernesse to Christ and his holy Gospel he might be made capable of the priviledges of the City which if it were granted he bid them be confident of Gods most particular protection towards their City and that for the preservation of it he engaged for him and his that they should be ready to lay down their lives The Magistrates being moved with these just remonstrances and desires received the viper as a Citizen gave him the right hand of welcome and fellowship and made him and his free of the City What should the Magistrate do Behold he hath to do with a man of a grave countenance free in his behaviour having a very long beard and that yellowish sky-coloured and sparkling eyes milde and affable in the midst of his gravity neat in his apparel Finally one that seemed to have in him all the ingredients of honesty modesty and truth to be short one if you examine his countenance carriage discourse and the cause he is embarqu'd in all things without him are within the limits of mediocrity and modesty if you look within him he is nothing but deceit fraud and dissimulation in a word an ingenuous Anabaptist Having already felt the pulses of the Senate and divers of the Citizens comming with his whole family to Basill he and his are entertained by a certain Citizen Having nested a while in Basill he purchased certain houses in the City as also a Farm in the Countrey and some other things thereto appertenant married his children and by his good offices procured to himself many friends For as long as he remained at Basill he so much studied Religion was so great an Alms-giver and gave himself so much to other exercises of devotion that suspicion it self had not what to say against him By these cunning insinuations this is beyond a young fox and smells more of the Lybian wilde beast many being surprised came easily over to his party so that he

arrived to that esteem and reputation in matters of Religion he pleased himself This perswasion thus craftily gotten was heightened by his great wealth and his riches in jewels whereof he brought some with him some were daily brought from other places in the Low-countries was yet further encreased by his sumptuous and rich plate and houshold-stuffe which though they were gorgeous and majestical yet were they not made to look beyond sobriety cleanlinesse and mediocrity These people sojourning thus in common houses desiring as yet to suppresse the pernicious infection of their sect very religiously enacted three things First that no man should profane or speak idly of the name of David George Secondly that no man should rashly or unadvisedly divulge any thing concerning his country or manner of life whence it was that some thought him to be a person of some quality some that he was some very rich Factor or Merchant whence it came that he was so excessively rich others had other imaginary opinions and conceits of him for as much as they themselves being strangers lived in a Country where they could not be ascertained of any thing Thirdly he was very cautious that none of the Basileans should be carelesly admitted into his acquaintance society or correspondence imitating therein the policie of the Ferrets and Weesels which as is reported never assault any bird of supremacy in the places where they frequent And thus did he by letters writings and emissaries plant and water the venemous seed of his sect through the lower Provinces yet kept the waies by which he wrought unsuspected and undiscovered For although he had lived two years among them there was not so much as one man infected or had privately caught the itch of his Religion What transcendent Mysteries are these This man though he feared neither deceit nor treachery from strangers yet the fire kindled out of the deceitful embers of his own houshold For behold one of his own Retinue doubting of the certainty of the New Religion he caused him to be brought before him and asked him whether he did not acknowledge him to be the true David sent from heaven upon earth and to bee the Horn Redeemer and Builder up of the Tabernacle of Israel to which the other answered roundly and peremptorily that the restauration of the kingdome of Israel and other things foretold by the Prophets were fulfilled in Christ the true Messias and that consequently there was no other to be exspected Which he hearing not without great astonishment did with much commotion of mind and bitter menaces thrust him though his son in Law out of doors and which is heavie to think on excommunicated him These things being thus managed David's wife fell sick of a disease which afterwards visited him and many more that dispatch'd her into the other world What a miracle is this He that declared himself to be greater than Christ and voted himself immortal upon the second of August one thousand five hundred fifty and six did die the death and was honourably buried according to the ceremonies of the Parish Church and his funerals were celebrated in the sight of his sonnes and daughters sonnes in law and daughters in law servant-men and maides and a great conflux of Citizens This sad calamity of his death extreamely troubled and tormented the minds of his diciples as a thing that very much thwarted their hopes of his promised immortality although he had foretold that he would rise again in three yeares and would bring all those things to passe which he had promised while he was alive Upon the death of this man a great many with resolute mindes made it their businesse not onely to bring his doctrine into suspicion but into utter disesteem unanimously resolving to embrace whatever was good sound and consonant to Christian doctrine and reject the rest as hereticall In the mean time the report beat up and downe both among the people and the more learned that this man of ingenuity and authour of private doctrines this very David George was a contagion and a destructive pestilence a devoted incendiary of a most dangerous Sect that though most falsely hee was born a King and that hee accounted himself the true Messias The Magistrate being extreamely moved at these things not deferring his zeale any longer when the glory of God and his Sonne Jesus Christ was so much concerned caused all those who were conceived to be infected with the pestilence of that Religion to be brought to the Palace to whom hee rubbed over what things had been transacted some yeares before that is to say acquainted them how that they had been banished their Countrey upon the account of the Gospell and upon their humble addresses received into the protection and made capable of the privileges of the City c. But that it had appeared since that they had fled for refuge to Basill not for the propagation of the Gospel but for that of the leaven of the sacrilegious David though by all outward appearance they had hitherto been accounted favourers and professors of the true Religion In the first place therefore the Senate being desirous to know the truth required to have his true proper name for some have thought as some authours deliver that his name was John Burges Secondly whether hee had privately or publickly dispersed his Religion and what Tenets hee held To which some made answer unanimously that they had left their countrey for the true Religions sake nor did they acknowledge themselves any other than the professors and practisers of the lawfull Religion That for his name hee had not called himself by any other than his own proper name and for his doctrine they had acknowledged none either privately or publickly save what hee had privately sometimes suggested which was not disconsonant to the publick The Magistrate perceiving this obstinacy of mind caused eleven of them the better to discover the reall truth to bee secured and more narrowly looked to In the mean time the Senate leaving no stone unmoved in this businesse appointed some to bring forth into publick view some books and writings of David which should give no small light in the businesse and these the Magistrate recommended to men of the greatest learning to bee read over and examined with the greatest care possible that so whatsoever they should meet with repugnant to the Truth they should extract and give him an account thereof Those who had this charge put upon them presented the Senate with this extract of Articles out of his Writings 1. THat all the Doctrine delivered by Moses the Prophets or by Jesus Christ himself and his Apostles was not sufficient to salvation but dress'd up and set forth for young men and children to keep them within decency and duty but that the doctrine of David George was perfect entire and most sufficient for the o●taining of salvation 2.
