I. 26, 27, 28, 29.

to go into and have fifty pounds by the Year from the State which is his practice as many may witness such a command was not to be found thorowout the Scriptures Now let any that are guided by the Spirit of the living God judge whether of these are according to the command of Christ or agreeable to the Scriptures of truth and the practise of the holy men of God Then when the Magistrates could find no just occasion of evil against me whereby to suffer anyfurther imprisonment Nathaniel Robbinson came told them in my hearing they had best to bind me to my Good-behavior when no evil-behavior could justlie be laid to my charge And then they would have proceeded against me for mis-behavior but I pleaded my freedom according to their own Law That without the mouth of two or three Witnesses nothing is established or proved nor cannot legallie be prosecuted So upon that they concluded to send me to prison again which was done accordinglie Then on the next daie came Nathaniel Robbinson and another Priest to the Prison-door and asked me if they might have a little discourse with me to which I answered Yea So they went awaie and said they would come again by and by which they never did and so proved themselves to be of their Father the Devil who was a liar from the beginning and abode not in the truth Then I was sent for before the Magistrates again where was five false Witnesses prepared against me of which Nathaniel Knight was one but their testimonie did not agree together as it was with their forefathers recorded in the Scripture of truth Mar. 14. 56 to 59. Then the Magistrates being more sober then to prosecute from such false Witnesses they commanded their absence then they tendered me the Oath of Abjuration which I did then and shall for ever bear testimonie against both over my self in particular and over the whole Church of God in general So finding no just occasion against me of farther Bonds they set me free according to Law though it was much against the Wills of mine adversaries Then on the third daie of the seventh Month 1657. Ellin Embree went to the Steeple-house in Southampton called Roods and there stayed peaceablie until the Priest had ended both his Sermon and Prayer as he called it and when he had quite ended as she did believe she spake some few words to the people whereupon two of the Justices of the said Town presently commanded some Officers to lay hands upon her which they did and haled her in a rude manner through the Streets to prison without any Examination or Mittimus to the Officer or Keeper of the Prison to shew the cause of her imprisonment nor had the Keeper any Warrant for her detainment in prison where she remained until the Sessions which began the 17th of that Month and in the Evening of that day the Recorder Lisle sent one of the Town-Officers to bring her before the Court and calling for the Indictment laid against her it was answered There was none whereupon the Recorder taxed the Justices for having imprisoned her wrongfully and so word was sent presently back not to bring her to the Court but the next day there was a false Indictment framed contrary to the late Act by which she suffered for the words maliciously wilfully or of purpose according to the Act was quite left out of the Indictment and only the Word disturbance put in upon which Indictment the Jury proceeded and brought her in guilty of disturbance whereupon the Recorder Lisle gave sentence to lay a Fine of five pounds upon her to be paid at a Months time or to be sent to the House of Correction for six months to be set to hard labour be corrected according as they should think fit but the Prisoner replying she would never pay any they had her body there present they might do with her what they thought good so she asking whether she was free they bid her go home if she would which she did Now the Month being up the Mayor of the Town made out his Warrant to the Constables and Beedles to come to her house to demand the mony or to take her Body her Name being mistaken in the VVarrant there was nothing done only the payment of the Fine refused Then two days after being the 21. of the eighth month the Constable five or six Officers with Swords came with a second VVarrant from the Mayor to fetch her to Bridewell but she being in an inner Room in her house did forbear putting her self in their hands and so remains expecting what further course they will take against her Anne Horsent upon the 6th day of the 7th Month was moved of the Lord to go to a Steeplehouse in Hampton called All-Saints where Nathaniel Robbinsen spoke that day where she stood peaceably and spoke not a word until Robbinson was come down his Pulpit and out of the Meeting-place and when he was fled she spoke some few words to the people and so went home again But the next day this Robbinson sent to the Church-VVardens as they are called telling them he had been affronted and if they did not execute their Office he would complain against them Take notice of that thou that reads with a single eye And he also went to the Mayor of the Town with a false Information against her the said Anne whereupon the Mayor sent his Officers to apprehend her where she was to visit the said Ellin Embree in prison and there they also detained her in prison until the Sessiont full 12. dayes and was likewise imprisoned without Examination or any Accusers heard and was proceeded against in the same manner and upon the said dayes and VVarrant as the said Ellin Embree although it did not appear by any proofs in the Court that she the said Anne had disturbed the said Robbinson in the time of his officiating nor yet in going to it or returning from it as many can witnesse nor can Robbinson say that he heard any one vvord that she said in the Meeting-place but was got home or very near before she spake yet judgement was given against her at the Sessions either to pay five pounds or to be sent to the House of Correction to be set at hard labour and be corrected as they should think fit though it could not truly be brought in that she had broke any Law Note That the Justices of the Town when they were in prison did give order to the Keeper of the Prison that none should visite them but their near Relations Therefore I desire all sober people in this Nation that fears the Lord to weigh and consider these things whether ever such a Ministry as this was ever ordained of God yea or nay that will not stand without imprisoning and persecuting the innocent for saying not a word but for standing peaceably among the rest looking upon him What do you think is in this mans
