why I could neither Swear nor Fight for Him If these or any thing of this kind Causeth them thus to become mine Enemy because I tell them and Him the Truth if it be this that renders me vile in their Eyes I must let them know in the words and Resolution of David and say If this be to be vile I according to the Ability received shall be yet more vile But I shall proceed to Discover to you what was Acted as to Searching my House and by what manner of Persons that so you may be sensible whither we are Posting if they were legally Commissionated The Second time that my House was Searched was by one John Gosling a known Papist and Servant to Mr. Hillyard an Apothecary in Long-Aker who beyond his Commission if he had one carried away he and his Party and Confederacy Captain Wharton and others near 30 of my Fannaticks Mite and got Two shillings in Money of me pretending it for the Souldiers And about a Week after Captain Wharton and another of them came and took forcibly out of my House Two more of my Books demanding more which he would have had had there been any ready And the next time that my House was Searched was when I was taken into Custody and that was by Mounseir Lawrence an Italian a Papist who keepeth a Fencing School in Stānnop-street The next was by Mounseir De la Mane a French-man and a known Papist living in Long-Aker a Gilt-Leather man The next time or Another time by one Mr. Kirbey a Cloth-Drawer in our own street a known Papist also And another time by Anthony Welch a limping Porter living in Mr. Roberd's Celler in Drury-Lane near Russel-street whose horrid Oaths Execrations and Debauch'd Actions both to us to Mris. Whitaker Richard Day and others do bespeak him to be no better than an Athiest And as if all these Actions and Reports were not enough to render me and you sufficiently odious to the view of the World the weekly News-monger Falsly Injuriously and most Ignomineously in his weekly Pamphlet hath Branded us with that most Stigmatical Title of Traytors To whom I would give this Christian Caution that for the time to come he take a special care of venting and inventing Lies lest the Lord Christ say One day to Him as once He said to some of Abrahams fleshly Seed John 8. 44. Ye are of your father the Devil and the works of your father ye will do he was a Murtherer from the beginning and abode not in the Truth because there is no Truth in him when he speaketh a lie he speaketh of his own for he is a lyar and the Father of it And therefore I would have him further to consider the shame of it for as the Lip of Truth shall be established for ever so the lying Lip is but for a moment Prov. 12. 19. And as a Righteous man hateth lying so a wicked man is loathsome and cometh to shame Prov. 13. 5. And if we may believe the wisest of men he telleth us that he that hideth hatred with lying Lips and he that uttereth a slander is a Fool Prov. 10. 18. And farther I would have him consider the great danger of it for first lying Lips are an Abomination to the Lord but they that deal truly are his delight Prov. 12. 22. Secondly These six things the Lord hateth yea seven are an Abomination unto him a proud look a lying Tongue and Hands that shed Innocent Blood an Heart that deviseth wicked Imaginations Feet that be swift in running to Mischief a false Witnesse that speaketh Lies and him that soweth Discord amongst Brethren Proverbs 6. 16. Thirdly It will exclude him Heavens Glory For without are Dogs and Sorcerers and Whoremongers and Murderers and Idolaters and whosoever loveth and maketh a Lie Rev. 22. 15. For there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth neither whatsoever worketh Abomination or maketh a Lie but they which are written in the Lambs Book of Life Rev. 21. 27. But the Fearful and Unbelieving and the Abominable and Murtherers and Whoremongers and Sorcerers and Idolaters and all Lyars shall have their part in the Lake which burneth with Fire and Brimstone which is the second death Rev. 21. 8. But leaving the man to consider of his wicked action in suffering his Pen to run to that excesse that causeth men to raise false reports upon the Innocent I shall in love to his soul earnestly desire him to set himself upon the effectual work of Repentance that so he may make his peace before he go hence and be no more that when time shall be no more he may then have a well-being with him who gives a being to all beings in that Kingdom that shall never fade away the which that you my Brethren and I may make sure let us work out our own Salvation with Fear and Trembling and let us not be slothful but be followers of them who thorow Faith and Patience inherited the Promises Heb. 6. 12. And let us be found in Gods Way doing Gods Work being Fortified with Christian Courage and Boldnesse following the foot-steps of the flock of God gone before us not at all fearing what man can do unto us for this is the requirement of our Lord and Master Mat. 10. 28. Who saith Fear not him that can kill the Body onely and afterwards can do no more but rather fear him that after he hath killed the Body can cast both Body and Soul into Hell I say Fear him And in his Fear let us be found in well-doing endeavouring as much as in us lyeth to see that the Peace and Welfare of the Nation be secured For if every mans particular interest be involved in the General Good then it stands every particular man in hand to study the Good Peace Safety and Welfare of the whole To this end let us take the advice of our Apostle 2 Tim. 2. 3. Even as good Souldiers of Jesus Christ to endure hardship and take to us the whole Armor of God that we may be able to withstand in the evil day and having done all to stand let us stand therefore having our Loyns girt about with Truth and having on the Brest-plate of Righteousness and our Feet shod with the Preparation of the Gospel of Peace above all taking the Shield of Faith wherewith we shall be able to quench all the fiery Darts of the Wicked and take the Helmet of Salvation and the Sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God praying with all Prayers and Supplication for all Saints Ephes. 6. 13. c. and for all men for Kings and all that are in Authority 1 Tim. 2. 1 2. yea for our very enemies and all that hate us Mat. 5. 44. and of them that persecute us let us cry out and say in the Words of that Holy Martyr and Brother Stephen Lord lay not this sin to their charge Acts 7. 60. and in the Words of our
