Thomas parish whose daughter Mrs. Peach then l●y in The Messengers search'd but miss'd Hugh Peters who according to his custom had crept into bed to the young woman where the Messengers modesty forbad their search she having been delivered but two days before There lay Hugh and the Messengers finding a private passage out of that into the house of another Quaker call'd John Day the Cobler thus Quaking runs from house to house they search'd there also In the interim Peters escap'd from childbed leaving behind him his Cane with a R●pier in it a small pocket-Bible and a gray Cloak for possibly now he was in his Frock But on Sunday last about six at night in a place call'd the Maze in the same parish near Hors-way Down at Nathanael Mun a Tape-weavers house Hugh Peters again lay in The Messenger Mr. Wickham coming to the door found it not lock'd nor latch'd but kept fast by the Tape-weavers wife how faithful that sex are to Peters who thrust her back to the door till the Messengers strength prov'd Mrs. Mun was the weaker vessel and suddenly running up stairs found that door also kept fast like the other ' tw●s Hugh himself whose shoulder at the door put the Messenger hard to it for Peters now thought he thrust for his life But the Messenger encourag'd in hopes 't was Peters whose strength fail'd as his fe●r increased at last the door flew open where Hugh Peters was found a true Quaker trembling after an incredible manner Yet now in his wonted way of confidence he stifly denied himself to be Peters but said his name was Thompson perhaps Hugh the son of Thomas threatning the Messengers with an Action at Law for offering to ●ffirm he was Hugh Peters and therefore refused to go down with the Messenger till Mr. Arnold servant to Mr. Blagge of his Majesties Bedchamber Mr. Hopkins a good neighbour and Mr. Harris the honest Constable came up the stairs who all expressed much diligence and heartiness in assisting the Messenger And yet after all he refused to come down still wondring they would think him Peters so as they began to force him down and then he promised to go along but first said he give me leave to gather up my spirits whereupon he call'd for Drink and drank two quarts two full qu●rts of small Beer for the House had no strong Then Hugh desired he might speak privately with Mris.
