comes to witness the Apostles words who said That neither Circumcision which was outward nor Uncircumcision availeth any thing but a new Creature But Ah! you Priests Rulers and Persecutors that are risen up against the People of God in these times how have you appeared against the Law and the Gospel and by your Fruits you are known to be those that Christ spoke of to his Disciples who said By their Fruits ye shall know them and he also bid them that had the Everlasting Gospel to Preach As they had freely received freely give but wherein hath your Love appeared to God or to your Neighbours To Love the Lord your God with all your Hearts and with all your Souls and your Neighbours as your selves On which two great Commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets which must be fulfilled in the Royal Law of Christ within but you have rather appeared like them that came forth out of the City Desireing Christ to depart out of their Coast for the loss of a few Swine notwithstanding the great Miracle which he did for their Neighbour in casting out Legions of Devils that did torment him and he sate by Jesus cloathed and in his right mind O! therefore blush and be ashamed you that pretend the Scripture is your only Rule and live so contrary to it for have you not appeared worse then those who prayed Christ to depart out from their Coast to save their outward Substance and would have none of the Knowledge of his ways for you have rejected and despised Christ in his appearance who hath waited long to be gracious to your Souls though he hath knocked so long at the door of your Hearts till his Locks have been wet with the Dew of the Night and yet you still refuse him and the knowledge of his ways and had rather entertain your Legion of Unclean Thoughts and Ungodly Deeds and have also said That there is no living without Sin on this side the Grave and so have made a Covenant with Hell and Death which must be broken if ever you come to know the travail of your Souls as David did when he cryed under the sence of Gods Iudgments for Sin That he would give no sleep to his Eyes nor slumber to his Eye-lids till he had found a Habitation for the God of Iacob to dwell in for he must have the whole Heart where he takes up his abode and no room left for Uncleanness O therefore search and see whether you be not worse then they that desired Christ to depart from them to save self that will give no room for Christ in your own Hearts to reign there nor no room for his Subjects that are under the reign of his Power though we would eat our own Bread and wear our own Apparel but you are taking away our outward Substance which the Lord hath blest us with to nourish us and our Familys and taking of us to Prison and then come to disturb us in the Prison for no other cause but for meeting together in the Name of Jesus to worship the Father and the Son in the Spirit and in the Truth and for this cause are we put into Prison and for the same cause are we still sufferers in the Prison for several times was I pulled out of the Meeting while I was a Prisoner at Bridewel and kept from the rest of my Friends till the Meeting was done for no other cause but being at Prayer to the Living God before the now Sheriffs came into their places and since they have come in they have also bent their Bow against the Righteous and gone from Prison to Prison to disturb us in our Spiritual Worship in the Prison and gave the Keepers Orders That we should not be suffered to come together to Preach and Pray And according to their Orders were we Lockt asunder But blessed be the Name of the Lord our Teacher cannot be removed into a Corner and therefore they cannot seperate us from his Presence which is life to our Souls if they put us one by one into a stinking Dungeon there will our God hear our Prayers and send the Angel of his Presence down amongst us to sweeten our Souls with the sweet Oyntment of his love as blessed be his Name he did at that time amongst us and in the sense of his living Presence and Power my Heart and Mouth was opened to Praise the Lord for his Goodness and Mercy to our Souls and in Prayer That he might preserve us in the living sence of the same to the end of our days that so we might receive the end of our Hope and Faith even the Salvation of our Souls and in the mean time came in Sheriff Arnold with others in his Company who took me off my Knees from Prayer and sent me away by his man to Newgate and he and the rest followed after to disturb Friends here and when they came in they were very fierce to thrust in through Friends that sate in the outward roomes that they might come to the innermost room in the Prison to see if they could find any Preaching or Praying but Friends being sitting in silence they could hear no Words till after they came in a Friend spake to them To Fear the Lord because his Name is Great and for these words or such like was he commanded to be taken away out of his lodging room from the rest of Friends and put him down into a dark Room called the West-house they commanded that I should be put from the rest of Friends also and not be suffered to meet with them so I told them They were but Mortal Men and that the Sword of Mortality hanged over their Heads which was near ready to cut them down and therefore my desire to them was to Repent So the Turn-key took me down into a place called Paules and put me into a dark hole and Thomas Lugg an Informer and now a Constable one of the company that came along with the Sheriff followed after and spoke of Chaining of me that I should have neither Bread nor Water and the next Meeting day being lockt and kept one from another in several Roomes I being at Prayer the Goaler and his Man came where I was and took me off my Knees and would not suffer me to stay with the rest of my Friends that lodged in the same dark Room it being a place where Felloners use to lodge and would not suffer one Friend to go along with me but put me among the Felloners and Debtors where I was Derided and shamefully Intreated and Water thrown on me for no other cause but Praying to the Living God and ever since I am not suffered to stay in the Room with my Friends on our Meeting days but in a little time taken forth and put from the rest of my Friends though Drunkards and Swearers are suffered frequently to meet and make themselves drunk without being used after the manner
