Juries nor accusers nor witnesses What Jury had Elisha when he called for fire from Heaven to fall upon two Captains and their fiftys What Jury had Peter when he smote Ananias with his sword But to give the Reader better satisfaction I shall shew how I condemn men and women at a distance 1. There must be some of my faith who hath heard them speak wicked speeches against me and my Commission and so thereupon I have sent the sentence unto them 2. I do never pass sentence upon them unless I have some writings under their own hands as I have from you Quakers Thus Reader I have entertained thee awhile with the Errors Blasphemies and Irregularities of Lodowick Muggleton on which fearing thou shouldst be by this time cloyd I shall divert thy melancholy and please thy curiosity with some of those strange Heresies and ungrounded principles which Muggleton not without some reason in many places lays to the Quakers charge so that when they are both deliberately considered in thy serious judgement thou mayst strike thy hand on thy breast and wonder how many silly soul● could ever be deluded by such Idle Blasphemous and Irrational Impostors Muggleton before he lets fall his showre of ponderous Arguments on the Quakers salutes them with this Prologue to give them time to set themselves in a defensive posture against the intended rage You are much mistaken if you think to deal with 〈◊〉 Prophet who hath a Commission from God as you deal with th●● Priests of the Nation because you are faln to a more precise kin● of life then they and have amazed them with your feinged Ligh● within you must not think to do so by a commissioned Prophet Quaker pag. 21. Thou sayst that we deny both the Father and the Son and that we d●ny the same flesh and bones which Jesus suffered death withall upon t●● Cross Ibid. 2. You say that we deny he was laid in the grave rose agai●● and was seen by the Apostles I challenge thee to tell me where and 〈◊〉 whom these things were denyed by any of us or else be thy mou●● stopt for ever after Muggleton pag. 21. According to your charge I shall acquaint you with both the pla●●● and persons The place East Cheap at a Butchers house and 〈◊〉 persons which deny'd them were first the Butcher himself I think his name was Whitpan another of them was Fox the younger who is now both dead and damned to eternity another of them was J. Harwood as for the other two I have forgot them but one of them was a great Lubbardly Fellow perhaps you may know him better then I. Pag. 22. Secondly as for my Cursing If it were a sin in me it must certainly be a greater in you who have nothing but that fictitious light within you to warrant you from that just imputation which may be justly thrown on your most damnable Doctrine and that light within which you so much brag of is nothing but the Whimsies and Chymera's of your frantick brains insomuch that it differs in you every one sharing more or less according to their natural bilities 3. This light within you is nothing but the Capricio's and Levalto's of your mad brains in as much as it leads you to actions of Sorcery and Witchcraft before you begin that pretended devotion so that you often sit as if you were suddenly struck dumb or bewitcht for two hours space before you utter one word again pag. 7. Do you blind Quakers think that the repeating of Scripture texts doth prove my Commission a pretended thing Then I say those Jews which were under the Law of Moses might as well have said that the Apostles commission was but a feigned thing and so they did therefore they persecuted them for it as you would me if it lay in your power as it did in theirs I shall therefore speak a few words to you Sam. Hooton and Will. Shepherd because you two have committed that unpardonable sin which will never be forgiven either in this world or in that to come in speaking evil of the Doctrine and Declaration of the Spirit and Commission we received from the True Personal God without us even the man Christ Jesus in Glory His form of Cursing Therefore in Obedience to my Commission I do pronounce Sam. Hooton and W.S. for their Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit that sent me Cursed and Damned Souls and Bodies from the presence of God Elect Men and Angels to Eternity FINIS
