A TRUE DECLARATION Of the suffering of the Innocent who is hated and persecuted without a CAUSE c. WIlliam Allen Justice of Peace so called but little peace I finde in thee We came to the Towne of Banbu●y on the 13th day of the 11th moneth and being strangers we tooke in at the Lyon The next day being the fi●st day of the week wee went to a meeting which we heard of in the Towne and when the meeting ended we were moved to go to the Steeple-house to speake the word of the Lord to Priest and People and in obedience to the Lord we went and stayed till the Priest had done and then my friend spoke to the Priest and the rude multitude came and hurried her forth as the customs of the Heathens is Then I spoke to the Priest Man here see the fruits of thy Ministry and presently the rude people hurried me forth Then came one and tooke me by the hand and questioned me what untruths their Minister had spoken and I answered That they that are out of the Doctrine of Christ all they spoke was untruth And though they say The Lord liveth surely they sweare falsely Jer. 5.2 Then another asked me if the Lord did not live I answered yea I know he liveth Now there are two Boyes that hath sworn against me that which I did not speake their blood will be required of them that caused them to erre And know this O man that the Lord God will be avenged of all unjust Justices and he will make his power known in the destruction of his Enemies Therefore feare him and beware of persecuting his ●●rvants for justly shalt thou be judged according to the deeds done in the body shalt thou receive thy reward To the light in thy conscie●ce do I direct thee it will let thee see all thy actions and from whence they arise whether from the spirit of meeknesse or from thy perverse will which the Lord will judge righteously To that in thy conscience I speake which will witnesse for God against all deceit This was I moved to write to cleare my conscience of thee and leave thee without excuse that when the book of Conscience is opened thou mayest remember that thou wast forwarned in thy life time A friend of the Truth and a lover of thy Soule who is a prisoner of the Lord for the Truths ●ake at Banbury whose ●ame in the flesh is Anne Audland WHereas I am accused in a Mittimus for certaine blasphemous words saying That the Lord live●h no● I answer these words are false and never spoken by me The Lord is my Redeemer and I know that my Redeemer liveth and my soule magnifieth him and my spirit rejoceth in him and here I deny your false accusations and blasphemie it is your owne words and not what I sayd and you that accuse falsely know not the living God the Heathen knows not God and the Heathens rage but the Lord will be avenged of all his enemies and plead the cause of the innocent And they are blasphemers which say they are Jewes and are not but are the synagogue of Satan And whereas I am accused for causing a tumult in the Church when the Minister was going to execute part of his Function and likewise to assault the Minister I answer This is likewise false Lyars must be cast into the lake The Church is built of living stones elect and precious and there is order kept in the Church And I did not cause a tumult neither did I assault the Minister as yee call him and that which is called part of his Function is an invention and there is neither command nor example in all the Scripture that ever any of the Ministers of Christ did sprinkle Infants and call it a Function and here you have no Scripture to prove your Function as you call it And he that practises such things for the which there is no Scripture leads people into the inventions and so they are not profited at all as it appears by your owne words that they were in a tumult O blush and be ashamed of that which you call your Church who are so suddenly in a tumult Was there ever such a thing heard of amongst the Saints that they would be in a tumult when one came in peaceably among them not offering wrong to any Here you shew your selves to be children of your Fathers who lived in envy haling out of Synagogues carrying them before Rulers and casting into prisons them who was called of the Lord to beare witnesse against their deceit and here him called the Minister is made manifest to be one that runs before he was sent and so never profitted the people and so like Priest like People Therefore give over and never call it a Church who are fighters and strikers scoffers and scorners tumulters and false accusers as your fruits makes it daily appeare And some of you confesse that they are in danger of their lives that comes among you the people are so rude Now you that are Magistrates ought to punish evill Doers Fighters and Lyars and false Accusers but such have liberty and dare do it in your Church as you call it and you present as he that caused the Mittimus to be made doth confesse That there was a tumult when he was present and they that tumulted are not punished but the fault is layd upon the innocent who was beate and abused but offered violence to none And so they said Paul was a pestilent fellow and they tumulted Paul but Paul did not cause the tumult So you are made manifest of what generation you are and you shall be rewarded according to your deeds And from the Lord I declare That he will visite for these things and plead with you for all your hard speeches and all your ungodly deeds and give you your portion with hypocrites except you speedily repent and
