of sinne and shame then praise for any Companion of the Apostle Paul when he preached on Mars hill in Athens to have denied to hear him preach there because his Auditors were Epicureans and Stoicks and all save Pauls Associats Idolaters But this is made use of onely for advantage by reason of that Odium that he knowes lies upon parochial Constitutions The whole Nation almost knowes that most of the Congregations in Lancashire are reduced to a narrower compasse then that of parochial And we are assured that Iames Nayler one of their Leaders deserted a gathered Congregation in Yorkeshire whereof he was and had continued a good while a Member And however they deny any benefit received by the publique Ministery yet we believe what ever reliques of sound knowledge are in any of them they owe them to it and for what imaginary knowledge or unsound Principles they have learned otherwise from their new Teachers cursed had our condition been if we had given these stones in stead of bread such poysonous deadly Scorpions in stead of fishes We must confesse the major part were never savingly wrought upon by the Gospel whereof we have the Ministration It was our great Masters case His combats in the time of his Ministery on earth were but few Acts 1. 15. The Apostles case sometimes when they preached the glad tidings of salvation by Iesus Christ to crowds of people some one or two onely believed their report and rejoyced in it And though it be our case yet it is our complaint to the Lord continually And as some godly persons have out of their own experience as far as they could discern professed the greatest part the generality of these of this way in Westmerland are of that Number viz. Such as have had no saving work of God upon their Spirits by the Ministery of his Word but such as have been ignorant of or erred from the Truth and whose Religion consisted in the praise of Opinion and floatings of their own fancies and who have been carried with great zeal and heat of spirit through all forms of Religion as some call them In so much that scarce a knowing Christian among us but could have easily pointed at those whom theseFoxes were like to deceive before they came and whose spirits would be ready to strike in with any principle might subvert the Truth of the Gospel In the mean time the seals of the Ministery of those that have been faithfull to Christ in their stewardship such Christians as have lookt in themselves stand still and are rooted faster then to be removed to another Gospel by the blasts of such delusions as have their descent written in their foreheads In the Title Page he compares the peaceable Petitioning of some Ministers in Lancashire to the Councel of State to Sauls errand of Damascus and a little after saith their Petition breaths out threatnings and slaughters against a peaceable and godly people by him nicknamed Quakers In the second and third Epistles also the Author hath divers insinuations of charges against some Gentlemen and Ministers in Lancashire as that they make none but the Lords Disciples the object of their indignation That they never did proclaim war against drunkards swearers common blasphemers enemies to the Lord and his people That their high-flown contending spirits are gone beyond slender wrestlings and they scorn to encounter with any below the degree of a Saint Other wickednesses he point blanck layes to your charge as that those sons of Levi as he saith they call themselves pretend a jus Divinum to persecution That they troubled the Councel of State with abominable misrepresentations of honest pious peaceable men That the Quakers have been more faithful to the interest of the godly people in this Nation then any of the contrivers of the Petition That they exalt themselves above all that are called Gods People in these parts Reply I Wonder much at the Spirits of these men and what eyes they see withall They would make the world beleive they can espy the Spirit of Saul while he was unconverted in the breasts of others comminations and persecution blood and slaughter where they can see nothing but Christian Modesty and the words of Truth and Sobriety Surely blood and slaughter are the Objects of their Meditation by day and their dreams in the night are dreams of cruelty Otherwise the humble innocent sober Petitions of Christians jealous for the Glory of God and the welfare of his Church and studious to prevent the enemy from making such havock of Souls as he hath done of late in some parts would not so presently put them in mind of them And where he saith in this your Petition they troubled the Councell of State with abominable misrepresentations c. It is it self an abominable untruth and I do verily beleive that Epistoler Conscience tels him so There was indeed such a Petition prepared and intended to be presented to the Councel of State but as I am certainly informed it never was presented to them Nor did that Petition contain the least tittle of any misrepresentation but a brief and true relation of some of your Abominations which are too famously and evidently known to the whole Countrie to be denied O the impudency of that lying spirit that hath entred into this generation of men To all the other false and railing accusations of this man brought against I do verily believe for some of them the faithfull Ministers and servants of Jesus Christ I shall onely answer as Michael to the Devil The Lord rebuke thee I could have rather desired that some of these Ministers in Lancashire would have answered this Calumniator and made him ashamed of his falsities Some of them are known to us and we are confident are as clear from all those charges as the new born child and such as according to that precept Isay 51. 7.

To the Reader THere is an unlicensed Pamphlet called Sauls errand to Damascus lately procured to be Printed wherein diverse Ministers of Westmerland and Lancashire are falsly aspersed and maliciously belied and traduced Had it not been for the clearing of their Innocency and the discovery of the falsities contained in that Book too apt in this credulous age to be believed as whatsoever is spoken against a Minister there had not been one word written in answer to it And for the rest of that Book that concerns us not I should be loath to betray my indiscretion so far as to attempt a full answer to such a heap of words or to trouble any judicious Reader with such fruitless contests Good Readers you have that Book by you or can think it worth your buying or perusal let me intreat you to read it with some observation of the Contents And if you be men whose inner man hath been indeed illuminated by the good spirit of the Lord and the knowledge of the Truth or whose reason hath been at all refined or polisht by learning or good education you will easily perceive by what they have to say for themselves that they are men whose knowledge is science falsly so called that these men are blind Leaders that while they pretend to be full of the Spirit full of Light and Revelations they are led a captive prey to the spirit of lies that spirit that workes in the children of disobedience that they walk in thick darkness that they go they know not whither and speak they know not what Something they would say to clear themselves of those blasphemies and cursed speeches they have been overheard to utter and have bin deposed upon oath against them both in Westmerland and Lancashire if they could tell how Flatly deny them they cannot they do not you wil even wonder to see how they bungle out an answer You wil admire at their impertinencies inconsistencies irrational insensate misty expressions as ambiguous sometimes as the devils oracles and stand amazed to see their impudence and how magistically they can revile censure to the pit of hel how boldly they dare avouch an error and offer a rape upon the holy Text wrest and misapply it and father their heretical absurd tenets assertions on it that in Print even
the advantage he waited for he cried out unto the people not to receive him into their houses and alledged that in the second Epistle of 〈◊〉 verse 10. Now how suitable that place was for his purpose all people may see who have eyes for there they are forbidden to receive any into their houses but such who abide in the Doctrine of Christ and confess themselves that they had both the Father and the Son and preach that Doctrine but the Priests say that is blasphemy Then the Priest turned away from him upon which the armed multitude began to be violent against divers friends that were there James hearing friends cry out said to the Justice You will surely set us peaceably into the house again But seeing him to go away and leave them in the hands of the rude multitude he gave himself up saying The Will of the LORD be done Upon which the Justice turned again saying We will see him in the house again and going towards the house many friends kept close about James exposing their own bodies to the danger of their weapons to save him harmlesse and so with much ado we got into the house not receiving much harm Which being done and as James was praising the Lord for his wondrous deliverance from their malicious intents some heard them say If we let him go thus all people will run after him Whereupon they agreed that he should be brought before the Justice again and came with violence and haled him out again Then the Justice and the Priest getting a horsback they caused him to run after them to an Alehouse on the other side the water where they went in not suffering one friend to go in with Iames. And when he came before the Justice he told him if he would not put off his hat he would send him to prison and also because he Thoued him for the Justice said My Commission runs Ye To which Iames answered I do it not in contempt for I own Authoritie and honour it according to the Scriptures But I find none such honour commanded in Scripture but forbidden Then they concluded to commit him for that and also as a wandring person and said none knew there from whence he came for those who knew him were kept out Then said he to Arthur Scaife Thou knowest me I was in the Army with thee eight or nine yeares It is no matter said the Justice thou art no Souldier now Then they writ a Mittimus to send him to prison and carried him to Kirkby-Steven that night shut him up in a Chamber and set a guard upon him but divers of our friends following into the Town where a great multitude was gathered together for meeting then did the people come from the Steeple-house where another had been preaching for divers of the Priests were gathered together that day some preaching some plotting and some persecuting 〈◊〉 fast was a preparation for Naboths death But friends not being suffered to go into the house where Iames was they abode in the streets and some of them being moved to speak to the people the Priests perceiving the people to give audience to what was spoken made complaint Whereupon some were sent forth and with violence fetched in one Francis Hâ—â—gill a friend who was speaking to the people and brought him into the High-Priests hall where were five Priests assembled with many other of their partie but not one friend And bringing him before the Justice he was commanded to put off his hat He answered I know no such law The Priest said He will tread both Ministery and Magistracy under his feet He said Thou art a false Accuser prove wherein But one that stood by took off his hat and cast it into the fire Then said the Justice What is this thou speakest against the Ministers He answered What hast thou to accuse me of Whereupon one affirmed that he said All the Ministers that taught for hire and in Steeple-houses were enemies and liars against Iesus Christ and no Ministers of Iesus Christ. Vpon that the Justice said Thou speakest against the Law for the Law gives them their maintenance He said I meddle not of the Law but of their practice Then said Francis to the Priest Didst thou ever know a Minister of Jesus Christ that was a persecutor or did labour to imprison any And after some more discourse he said to the Priest I have seen a great deal of tyranny and persecution in this dayes actions Then said the Justice to the people Take notice he saith the Law I act by is Tyrannie and persecution To which the people assented Then said Francis Thou maist give out to the people what thou wilt but I speak not of the Law but of your Actions Upon that he was sent to prison a guard of 8 men was set over them who spent the night in drinking swearing and filthy and unclean talking and the more they were desired by the people to take heed of sin the more filthy they did appear but these are the fittest instruments for acting the Priests intentions being Members of the Churches The next day they were guarded to Appleby but some friends following could not be suffered to passe on the streets that way so great was their envie against all that set their face that way And the prisoners being brought thither much means was used that none should come at them but such as were sent to tempt them There they were kept until the Sessions in which time they sent up and down the Country to seek for any that would witness any thing against them and improved their utmost interest for their advantage A Jury was chosen divers of them were resolved on the business so that it was told the Prisoners what would become of them before the day of examination came and it was accordingly For the day came and judgement passed but the Prisoners never saw their Accusers nor know who they are but against that day the Priests had prepared 3 large Petitions stuft with most filthy untruths and slanders raised out of the bottomless pit but not one of them proved though one of the Justices said to them It is fit they should be proved neither was there any thing in them which they could charge upon the prisoners save onely the Power of the Lord had manifested at their meetings in shaking proud flesh and pouring out his Spirit among many especially as they said upon little children which the Priests concluded was Sorcery and Witchery and of the Devil hereby declaring themselves to be of that generation who called the good man of the house Beelzebub and if they should not doe the same to them of his houshold the words of Christ could not be fulfilled Likewise they had gathered up all reports true or fals of things done by many that the Prisoners had not seen the faces of nor ever knew thinking thereby to make them odious to the people They also brought two Priests out of
True it is so said but that Face of God which Moses saw is not spoken of as that full vision of God which we cannot have till we be changed but of a more extraordinary appearance of God in his outward discovery of his Glory And therefore when afterwards Moses desired to see Gods Face he shewed him but his back parts Dost thou then believe said Nayler to see God with thy carnall eyes Master Coale answered in the words of Iob Yea with these eyes shall I see Him Onely said he friend understand That though these same eyes shall see Him yet they must be though not in substance yet in quality changed He shall change this vile body saith Paul and make it like unto his own Glorious body Saith Nayler Had I said so I had been charged with Blasphemy though it be Truth Master Coale answered he would then have had a great deale of injury done him but said he though we shall be made like unto him I doe not understand it thus that we shall be made equal to him there is a vast difference betwixt likenesse and equality Nayler after this speaking of the life of Christ said he lived by the life of Christ and Christan him Master Coale told him it was true that a Christian lives by the life of Christ but that life saith he which I live is a created life and t is I am quickned and I that am made alive 〈◊〉 saith Nayler by an uncreated life True said Master Coale A Christian doth so but he must make a difference between living the Essentiall life of Christ and living by it The uncreated life of Christ said he is the cause of my life but not the matter of it For they were the influences of that life upon me that did beget a life in me but that life that is in me is a created life for which he quoted Ephesians 2. You hath he quickned and 1. Cor. 15. The last Adam is made a quickning Spirit or a life creating Spirit as he told him the word signifies Also 2. Cor. 5 If any man be in Christ he is a new Creature And you are his workmanship created in Iesus Christ unto good works To these he replyed nothing but said I do witnesse Christ is in me and is persecuted in me this day Master Coale told him he persecuted him not but came to crave Protection The foregoing discourse produced some words about Justication touching which Nayler said he was justified by Christ in him To which Master Coale replyed thus Christ in me is my sanctification but Christ fulfilling the Law for me is my Justification Justification is an Act of God for Christs sake acquitting me and absolving me from the guilt of sinne not done in me but without me in the Court in Heaven Onely the Manifestation of it is in my Conscience Nayler said nothing to this but that which is without is without Being asked whether the Scriptures were the Word of God he answered he knew no Word of God but one Being asked again whether he believed the written Word to be the Word of God he said I know no such thing Master Coale told him That it was true that Jesus Christ is the Eternall Word but in the ordinary sense a word is as much as the Declaration of a mans mind He asked him therefore whether he beleeved the Scriptures did declare to us the Minde of God and so whether that which they deliver to us is the very minde of God He answered I do believe it This is the substance of all those Passages ANd now good Reader compare this faithfull Relation which may be attested by many judicious and observant witnesses with their foolish and scandalous stories and you may find them full of such grosse abuses and pernicious suggestions and falsehoods as are apt to proceed from a spirit that premeditatech mischief and abhorreth not evil I think none of us that are traduced in Sauls Errand to Damascus should have made any thing publick in this kind in respect to our selves We know t is as easie is common for Christs Disciples indeed to beare the lying accusations and reproaches of his Enemies But knowing again how Errour may strengthen it selfe and get a party by lying reports and the Cause of God contract an Odium by misrepresentations and Religion sometimes suffer through silence especially when Satan labours to speake so like the Language of a complaining Saint and Truth it selfe is under prejudice and disadvantage we were moved in Spirit to speake what we have heard and know and to testifie what we can witnesse though the world should not receive it That Mystery of Iniquity which doth so Energetically work against the Gospell in this Nation and that designe of Satan which now appears with open face in Multitudes of his Agents to overturne the Ministery of the New Testament and roote out the Soule and Life of Christianity from among us the despised Servants of the Lord in these parts are hopefully encouraged that the Lord will ere long crush to pieces and make it as the untimely Fruite of Summer and as the grasse upon the House top of which the Mower filleth not his hand nor hee that bindeth Sheaves his bosome Yea we see already some probable Symptomes of Death upon these New born Principles and the markes of Vengeance from Heaven upon them The hollownesse and unholynesse of their fanaticke Notions which as blazing Starres doe dazle the weaker or delight the more wanton eyes of many The fruit of our Prayers in the returning of some who were esteemed Godly The Divisions of the rest Their visible palpable Atheisme And the Lords Eminent leaving of them both living and dying in either the most despairing or most bruitish Condition ever heard of which though sad as to their persons yet wee cannot but looke upon them as Signall Testimonies of GOD against their Heresies and Impieties O that Men would receive the Truth of God in the Love thereof that those Glorious Beams of the Eternall Word might ravish the affections of all that know them Least otherwise as is the sad condition of this poore Country the Lord doe in his just Judgement send them some strong Delusions to believe a Lye and plunge their Soules from their Imaginary highest Elevation of Spirituall Knowledge into the lowest depth of Atheisticall Heathenish or Popish darkenesse In this Prayer I hope good Reader we shall have the Communion of your Spirit and the joynt compassion of your Soules for a misguided Generation The Lord inable us to contribute what strength wee have for the Gospels Interest FINIS Nayler saith to this Question he could get no answer
good I do not wish my greatest enemy so much hurt as that he should be one of them But those in Authoritie know they might not give ear to the Calumnies of every Anonymus Psal. 101. 5 7. Who so privily slandereth his neighbour saith David him will I cut off He that worketh deceit shall not dwell in my House He that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight And that it was Sauls sin and shame to hearken to the calumnies of Doeg against those that ministred at the Altar to the Lord. And we all know it is no new thing for the Ministers of Christ to be the object of the worlds indignation and accused of all manner of evil Our Saviour Christ himself his Apostles and the best of the Christians in the Primitive times did not escape the scourge of the Tongue the worst of slanders Well therefore may the false aspersions of this man be born as an easie burthen But thou O Lord deliver my soul from lying lips and from a deceitfull Tongue Psal. 120. 2. Let thy mercies also come unto me O Lord even thy salvation according to thy Word So shall I have wherewith to answer him that reproacheth me for my trust is in thy Word Psal. 119. 41. 42. The next part of this Pamphlet which I shall give some answer to consists of a false and scandalous Relation wherein Nayler or some friend of his for him foolishly complains of Persecution and maliciously abuses and belies divers Ministers in Westmerland as his persecutors who I am confident never used any unchristian language to him and were never guiltie of the least incivilitie in Action towards him notwithstanding his outcry of persecution by them Now because I intend to say something by way of reply to this Relation as also to their fals Narrative of the proceedings of the Justices at Appleby against Iames Nayler Jan. 8. 1652. I think it will not be amisse first to expose the Quakers own Relations verbatim to the view of my Reader as they are contained in Sauls errand to Damascus Divers particulars of the Persecutions of Iames Nayler by the Priests of Westmerland JAmes being at a meeting at Edward Briggs house on the first day where many people met he was desired by divers friends to meet the day following at Widow Cocks house about a mile from Kendal whereof the Priests having notice raised the Town of Kendal against him but being long in gathering together the meeting was done but Spies being out upon the Steeple top and other places notice was given what way Iames passed from thence and coming down towards Kindal two Priests being accompanied with a Justice of Peace and some other Magistrates of the Town with an exceeding great multitude of people following them met him saying Nayler I have a Message from the Lord Iesus Christ to thee but that there is not a convenient place To which James answered The Lord Iesus Christ is no respecter of places The message that he had to declare was this I conjure thee that thou tell me by what power thou inflictest such punishment upon the bodies of creatures James answered Dost thou remember who it was that did adjure Christ to tell if he were the Son of God and asked by what authoritie he did those things for James saw him to be one of that Generation But the Priest still conjuring him to tell by what power he did it James answered Dost thou acknowledge it to be done by a power Yea saith he I have the Spirit of God and thereby I know it is done by a power James said If thou have the Spirit of God as thou sayest thou hast then thou canst tell by what power it is done The Priest said When God comes he comes to torment the souls and not the bodies James said He comes to redeem the souls But after much jangling the Priest began to accuse him before the Justice and Magistrates of many things As that he taught people to burn their Bibles Children to disobey their Parents Wives their Husbands People to disobey the Magistrates such like accusations To which James answered Thou art a false accuser prove one of these things if thou canst here before the Magistrates But not being able to prove any one he began to accuse Iames for holding out a light that doth convince of sin which saith the Priest all have not To which Iames said Put out one in all this great multitude that dare say he hath it not Saith the Priest These are all Christians but if a Turk or Indian were here he would deny it James said Thou goest far for a proof but if a Turk were here he would witnesse against thee The people beginning to fight the Priest turned away saying Here will be a disturbance Said James These are thy Christians and this is the fruiuts of thy Ministery But the Justice with some others did endeavour to keep the rude people off him so that they could not come to their purpose there But he being to passe over the bridge and through the town they that were of the Priests party ran before swearing they would throw him off the bridge into the water but coming thither and seeing their purpose he was encouraged in his God who gave him assurance of protection and did wonderfully keep him and those that were with him for when he came unto the bridge the word of the Lord came unto him and he was made to cry out against their rage and the power of the Lord was with him so that he received no harm though he was made to speak all along and in the Market-place and till he came out of the town But the raging Priests continued shouting crying and throwing stones at him a quarter of a mile out of the town But such was the power of the Lord that neither he nor any with him received any harm The work was wonderfull and we were brought much to admire it and praise the Lord who is blessed for ever and ever Another time Iames being desired of many Christian Friends to be at a meeting at Ortor there to wait upon the Lord for what he would make known to his people did accordingly and many friends and brethren accompanied him but the Priests having intelligence some dayes before five of them were gathered together and many people from all quarters A friend in the town desired Iames to come to his house and being come into his house a message was sent from the Priests desiring him to come into the field under pretence of a more convenient place for the great multitude To which Iames answered It is my desire that all may be edified and coming into the field the Priests came with a great multitude and asked him by what authority he came thither and had gathered so many people together to break the peace and tempting him said Wilt thou be bound that none here shall break the Peace To which Iames answered We come
