The SCOOL-MASTER disciplin'd OR A Reply to a lying Paper entitulled The gadding tribe reproved c. WHereas there is a paper lately put forth intitul'd The gadding Tribe reproved by the light of the Scriptures by one who writes himself George VVillington School-master in the City of Bristol whose book is very filly and vain but that sools love to bee medling and in it there is much railing lying and false accusing against those people called by the scorners Quakers I shal say something as to it for the truths sake that the lies may rest upon his own head from whence they came Whereas thou sayest A word from the VVord to the Serpent-generation called Quakers especially to the conniving seducer John Andland and the rest of his brethren in iniquity who have of late set forth a malicious Pamphlet against our godly Magistrates and faithful Ministers intituled The innocent delivered out of the snare and the blinde guide sallen into the pit Reply The innocent delivered out of the snare is not malicious and in this thou art a false accuser and in saying I am a seducer thou art a slanderer I charge thee to prove it and in what which thou hast not yet done though thou rail upon me and I did not write maliciously against any much less against Godly Magistrates and faithful Ministers but godly Magistrates I own and honor in the Lord and faithful Ministers I have unity withal and brethren in iniquity is denied thesefore thee I do deny who a worker of iniquity art found and from the presence of the Lord shut among the serpent-generation who in scorn calls us Quakers and the word is against thee who art feeding upon dust and going upon thy belly and the word of the Lord even the word of truth is against thee who art an accuser of the brethren and rewarded must thou be according to thy deeds and though thou hast named that book the innocent delivered yet let all take notice who reads thy filthy paper that thou hast not answered any one thing there demanded neither confuted any one answer in that Book so the snare remains broken and the innocent is delivered and he that digged a pit into it himself falls and the Scripturo is fulfilled they that help and hee that is holpen hoth falls together And whereas thou s●ts down many Scriptures as of blind guides Serpents scribes Pharisces Hypocrites whited Sepulchres and writest Ye serpents yee vipers how can ye escape the damnation of hell ye are they that justifie your selves before men but that which is highly esteemed amongst men is an abomination to the Lord Reply In that which is an abomination to the Lord thou art which is eesteemed amongst men and these Scriptures were spoken to thy Generation and upon thy own head they are returned for we seek not the praise of men neither have we the praise of men and therefore it is that the ●linde guides Vipers Serpents gather themselves together against the truth which by the power of God is now spreading a witness against all deceit and deceivers Thou sayest thou writest directly to thee John Audland and usest these words thou hypocrite why hath satan filled thy heart to lye against the Holy Ghost why b●astest thou thy selfe in mischief O mighty man thy tongue deviseth mischief like a sharp Rasor thou lovest evil more then good thou lovest all devouring words O thou deceitsul tongue God shal destroy thee for ever And sayest Paul set his eyes on Elimas the sorcerer and said as I may say to thee John Audland O ful of subtilty and all mischief thou child of the Devil and sayest repent of this thy wickedness for I perceive thou art in the gall of bitterness and in the bond of iniquity and many such words thou writest Reply Take it to thy self who art of the Generation to which it was spoken for home to thee do I return it who art in the bitterness and in the gall loving all devouring words these things comes not neer me but over thy head do I rejoyce the misery wil fall upon thy self and thy unclean spirit the Lord rebuke a false accuser thou art and a slanderer I do not love evil more than good if I had I should not have become thine enemy neither am I the gall of bitterness or bond of iniquity thou hast uttered that which thou knowest not for if thou hadst known what this means I wil have mercy and not sacrifice thou wouldst not have condemned the innocent And whereas thou sayest judge not that thou he not judged and judge nothing before the time and with what measure thou meetest it shall be measured to thee again and writest against others for rayling and judging Reply Thou art inexcusable who judgest another and doest the same thing thy mouth is ful of railing lying false accusing which proceeds out of the aboundance of thy heart as in thy book appears out of thy own mouth thou art condemned and this I demand whether calling others Serpents Vipers full of all mischiefe children of the devil be not judging and if this be not then shew the difference between this and judging thou hast gone about to confute that the Saints is not to judge and that confutes thee who yet knows not a Saints life and art so blinde thou cannot behold that thou alloweth thy self in the thing which thou condemneth and with what measure thou measurest it shal be measured to thee again good weight shalt thou receive from the hand of the Lord who art weighed and found as chaff which the wind drives to and fro In thy 7 pag thou beseecheth all who shall read thy book upon consideration of the premises which is these things before mentioned to avoid and abandon the meetings books erroneous doctrines and hellish blasphemies of this new upstart impious Generation Reply All who knows the

own answer to it justifieth it to be true Reply This is a double ly for plainness of speech I use and gives a lye the name of a lye first I am not convinced that he is slandered for the oath is proved to be false in affirming that which he knew not and that which was not and that the answer justifies it to be true is false again for the Answer proves it absolutely untrue S●condly thou saith in averring that he and his Companions were moved by the Lord and his eternal Spirit to leave their own Habitations and Callings in the North to come to seduce the People of Bristol Reply Let shame cover thy lips if thy heart be not hardned thou wilt blush are these my words or thy own I charge thee to be a slanderer and a false accuser of the Brethren these words was never uttered by me all seducers and seducing by the Spirit of God is denyed and witnessed against and thou art witnessed against by the Spirit of God that thou art ful of venome froth and filth which is not worth raking up after thee thy Heart is overcome with it let it return into the Pit from whence it came where the Frogs lodges who are thy companions Again that which is spoken as touching the breach of the Law in not discovering Coppinger but concealing him and letting him depart is true according to the Law and thy evading it by seeming to cover it by Coppingers hasty departure and the suspension of the Lawes thou saith to that purpose doth no whit prove the contrary and had not your envy transported you beyond the bounds of equity you would be ashamed to publish such a thing but it 's clearly seen whom you shout at and whom you would devour though you pretend the Jusuits they are so near of kin to you you can let them go and after conference with them as thou saith Cowlishaw had with Coppinger who confess themselves to be such thou concealest them and bring in their words to slander the innocent and truth ever suffered under reproachful names and tongues in which thou hast not a little share thou fils up thy measure and accordingly shal thou be rewarded Thou saith I except against thee for averring that the quakers are but the spawn of Romish frogs Jesuits and Franciscan Fryers and to deny this is alledged that they came out of the North and thou saith to come out of the North is a shrew'd signe of their badness for the Scriptures speaks that out of the North an evil shall break forth Reply To prove that we came out of the Nort and had never been out of Nation and of our birth and habitations doth sufficiently confute thee who made that thy ground to have proved by the information that we were Coppingers acquaintance in Rome for saist thou those two persons which came to Bristol was most likely his two fellow Franciscan Fryers and here thy likeness is another lye and the Scripture doth not prove thy shrew'd signe neither doth it cover thee nor hide thee but upon thee will evill break forth who the evil hast committed a grievour storm and whitlwind will fall upon the wicked and sweep away the refuge of lyes and lyars into the Lake read thy portion and put it not from thee Secondly Thou saith for affirming that the quakers use inchanted potions Bracelets Ribban●s Sorcery and witchcraft to intoxicate their disciples and thou saist this is evidenced in the Pr●mises and apparent in most places where they ramble and thou shalt prove it no farther but close up all with two Scripture exhortations Reply I demanded of thee before to prove any such thing by us or let thy mouth be stopt and as touching proving any such thing thy mouth is stopt and thy premises proves it not by us but is made up of lyes and slanders and false reports which thou hast gathered where thou hast rambled up and down in thy imaginations sending out a pack of filthy lyes spawned out from the old Serpent the Devil and Satan out of whose mouth proceeds the frogs and there may thou read thy selfe apparently his disciple intoxicated and thee with all the rest of the spawn of Romish Frogs Jesuites and Franciscan Fryers is denyed and cast out from amongst the people of God scorn-called quakers and if thou can prove no better then to close up as thou doth the lyes wil rest upon thy own head but wilt thou turn back a little and take one exhortation where thou art giving two if there be any spark of honesty in thee or any remembrance of thy latter end or any consideration that lyars must be cast into the Lake repent of the evil of thy doings and cease lying and slandering the innocent which thou canst not prove to be offenders and lay thy mouth in the dust if so be there may be hope so here in plainness thy lyes is turned upon thy own head and the former answer is just and stands a witness against thee and thou art more unmasked and clearly detected and til thou can begin upon better evidence silence best becomes thee Remember again thou art warned cease thy gainsaying lest ton perish in thy rebellion and go down alive into the Pit I. A. FINIS

and confess thy deceipt and call in thy filthy paper and take shame to thy self for know this that the Lord God wil plead with thee for all thy hard speeches and justly by him shalt thou be rewarded and we utterly deny and do bear witness against all such filthy waies and practises of all such Frogs as thou mentions and against thee who prints lyes as I have already proved and lyars must be cast into the Lake and here I have found thee and proved thee in the intoxicated giddy headed condition thou speaks of who art already deceived and need be deceived no farther and thou art fallen into the pit thou digged and they for whom thy not was spread being innocent are escaped and thy folly is unmasked and thou art clearly betected and proved to be in error in thy very foundation and so all thy building is made void and if thou cannot begin upon better evidence let thy mouth for ever be stoyyd and let shame cover thy lips and repent of the evil of thy wayes lest the wrath of the Lord break out against thee and there be no remedy to the Light in thy conscience I speak and remember that thou art warned Friend thy Spirit is savoured and tryed and now this is the end of thy zeal who art become a persecutor of the life which thou hast professed in words and now thy zeal appears without the knowledge of God for the Jesuits Romish Fryers and Frogs as thou calls them are in the same nature as thou art in against that people whom thou scornfully calls quakers and so there is many unfavoury speeches in thy Paper putforth by thee VVilliam Prynne which worth the mentioning are not but thou hast manifested the end of thy P●o●ession who appears now to be one of those giddy headded English men thou speaks of and as touching leading silly women Captive laden with sin and led away with divers lusts ever learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth to thee this home shall return who appears to be in this state learning alwaies and silly for how many years hast thou been learning and now doest resist the truth with thy unclean Spirit as Iannes and Iambers did the Children of Israel which was comming out of Egypt with their corrupt Spirits so with what Measure thou measurest it shall be measured to thee again good weight running over pressed down and friend in the day of thy calamity remember whom thou hast despised in the day of thy prosperity and what thou hast rejected with thy ful Stomack and now loathes the Honny-Comb and the precious and the vile chus●th and so one with the Harlot art become the light doth thee comprehend thou saist there was trembling or quaking in the hoast in the field among all the people the garrisons and the spoylers they also trembled so it was a very great trembling or quaking this for thy selfe shal stand when thou thy self canst read a spoyler and see thy self in the field the strong man that must bow himself and thy fenced Cities must be broken down and thy Garr●son with all thy carnall weopons then the hoast shal thee fail and then trembling and quaking wil not be despised which stands with a put ful compassion to all souls and quaking and trembling doth not despise for thou unmasked thy self in this paper hast to be a scorner and scoffer at Gods righteous seed which he upholds with his arm for which thou shalt give an account to the light in thy conscience which changes not is it spoken And whereas thou William Prynne saith that Coppinger confessed that he spake about thirty times at London among them called quakers it is false he did not speak amongst us who are so called but them that have spoken amongst us their names we know and so we whose names are subscribed bear witness against that untruth thou hast published in print Amors Toddert Simon Dring John Bolton William Creake Gervase Roberts Henry Clerke Robert Dring William Kaymond Richard Davies William West A Reply to an Additional Paper put forth by William Prynne in his Lying Enlarged Edition FRiend thou pretending a reply to that which is before printed in a paper put forth by thee bearing the same title which thou saith is the second Edition enlarged to thee I shal reply that the things which I proved stands good and not detected by thee but thou art clearly detected and proved to make a lye thy foundation and now in thy lying enlarged Edition thou hast gathered up more lyes sent them abroad into the world ful of venome thou art spawned from the Serpent crawling in the mire like the frogs thou peaks of casting up thy filth and foming like the Sea and when thou hast gathered up a heap of lyes together thou wouldst cast them upon the children of light wwo in scorn are called quakers who denyes thee among the rest of the Roman● vermine giddy-headded brain-sick generation and were thou not
