A56194	The Quakers unmasked, and clearly detected to be but the spawn of Romish frogs, Jesuites, and Franciscan fryers, sent from Rome to seduce the intoxicated giddy-headed English nation by an information taken upon oath in the city of Bristol, January 22, and some evident demonstrations / by William Prynne ...

from God to spread their Heresies blasphemies in the West though not so fit for Quakers as that Northern colder Climate of England and Scotland where many Shake and Quake for cold alone without the Spirits motion whether they deserve to be sent packing again or into some sorraign Franciscan Cells or Jesuites Semenaries from whence their Sect was immediately propagated by Jesuites and Fryers sent from thence to act the parts of Independants and Sectaries to blow up differences and contentions amongst us as you may read at large in Mr. Edwards his Gangrena part third p. 99. and in a Grandees printed Speech in the painted Chamber 4. Sept. 1654. p. 16 17. to which I shall referre you for fuller Conviction Let all our Rulers Ministers and people therefore who have any care of their own or others Souls or our Churches Kingdomes safety and settlement now seriously consider that speech of our Saviour Christ himself John 10. 1. 10 11 12. Verily verily I say unto you He that entreth not by the Door into the Sheepfold but climbeth up some other way as these new Romish Apostles and wandring Predicants do THE SAME IS A THEEF and A ROBBER The theef cometh not BUT FOR TO STEAL AND TO KILL DESTROY The good Shepherd giveth his life for the Sheep But he that is an hireling and not the Shepherd whose own the Sheep are not seeth the woolf coming and leaveth the Sheep and fleeth and the woolf catcheth them and scattereth the Sheep And such false Shepherds and hirelings whether Ecclesiastical or Temporal who through negligence cowardize or any other designe shall suffer such Romish Woolves Theeves and Robbers as these to scatter and devour their sheep in St. Bernards verdict are PASTORES NON OVIUM SED LUPORIUM Pastours only of the Woolves not Sheep and in the opinion of Christ and all real Christians likewise Fredericus Broeckrous in his Epistle Dedicatory to the States of Holland and West-Frizland before his Antidotum Errorum praecipuorum in Tractatu de Deo c. D. Conradi Vorstii observes and proves at large That nothing is more dishonest or more pernicious to mankinde and humane society than the toleration propagation of false religions contrary to the doctrine of the Prophets and Apostles 1. Because men are hereby withdrawn from the true God the fountain of all happiness 2. Because thereby they are deprived of the possession of Eternal life 3. Because false religions are the most deadly poisons to mens souls which bring a speedy and infallible death damnation to all Eternity if persisted in 4. Because by them men are made twofold more the children of hell than they were before Mat. 23. 16. 5. Because thereby all Piety is undermined abolished and in Christian States all Wickedness Impiety Cruelty Folly and Wretchedness instilled into the hearts of men 6. Because by differences and multiplicity of opinions and controversies in Religion the greatest of people are brought 1. To doubt of the truth of Christian Religion 2. To slight and neglect it together with the Ministry and publick Ordinances 3. To give over prayer and private family-Duties 4. To oppose Religion and resist the propagation of the Gospel 5. In conclusion to renounce all Religion and turn professed Scepticks Seekers Atheists as we finde by sad experiences 6. Because Pagans Infidels and others are discouraged from embracing the doctrine of Christianity when they find so many controversies and disputes even among Christians themselves And the common Enemies of the true reformed Religion and Romish Emissaries hereby take occasion to calumniate that true Religion we profess and to seduce the ignorant people from it to embrace their damnable and superstitious practices Upon which considerations Constantine the great Theodosius and all zealous Christian Emperors Kings Princes and Governors truly fearing God in all ages have made it their principal care study to maintain peace and unity concord in the purity and principles of Religion to suppress all Heresies Errors Schisms repugnant thereunto both by Laws and penalties as I have elsewhere largely evinced against all oppugners of the civil Magistrates coercive power and Jurisdiction in matters of Religion who never yet returned the least reply thereunto in sundry years though challenged to do it We shall conclude all with this word to Magistrates Cant. 2. 15. Take for us the Foxes the little Foxes that spoyle the Vines for our Vines have tender grapes Search after restrain secure prosecute punish all Romish Foxes Wolves Conspirators Enemies Traytors to our Church and Religion according to our Lawes and Statutes yet in force against them with as great diligence care zeal as you now search after restrain secure prosecute any reall or imaginary Plotters Conspirators Enemies Traytors to the Kingdome Nation or to your selves And be as vigilant as industrious to secure Gods and our Churches cause interest as your own that so you may turn away Gods wrath and inherit Phineas bis praise and benediction for his zeale in this kinde Num. 25. 11 12. 23. with these four Apostolical Admonitions and Cautions to the people recorded in the Gospel as the best Preservatives against Seducers Rom. 16. 17 18. Now I beseech you Brethren mark them which cause DIVISIONS and OFFENCES contrary to the Doctrine which you have received AVOID THEM For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ but their own bellies and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple But evill men and seducers shall wax worse and worse deceiving being deceived But continue thou in the things which thou hast heard and hast been assured of knowing of whom thou hast learned them Ephes 4. 14.

Thess 2. 9 10 11 12 whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and Signs lying wonders and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish because they received not the love of the truth that they might be saved And for this cause God shall send them strong delusions that they shall believe a lye that they might all be damned who believed not the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousnesse and like the unjust Judge Luke 18. 2. 4. Neither fear God nor regard or reverence men 2 Cor. 11. 13 14 15. For such are false Apostles deceitful workers transforming themselves into the Apostles of Christ And no marvel for Satan himself is transformed into an Angel of light Therefore it is no great thing if his Ministers be also

accusing Cowlishaw known to be a person of truth and honesty for making a false Oath which his own Answer to it justifieth to be true 2. In averring * That he and his Companions were moved by the Lord his eternal Spirit to leave their own habitation and callings in the North to come to seduoe the people of Bristol to believe their new Revelations That they are the Messengers Ministers of the everlasting Gospel of God sent and moved by the Lord to speak to the City of Bristol c. When as in truth they are those that trouble that City and would pervert the Gospel of Christ therein Gal 1. 7. yea the very false lying Pophers prophecied of and described Zech. 13. 3 4 5. 2. He excepts against Cowlishaw That he accused not Coppinger to the Magistrate confessing himself to be a Franciscan Fryer but concealed and let him go Whereupon he taxeth the Magistrates of Bristol for injustice in not punishing Cowlishaw and yet making out warrants against the Quakers But this is very frivolous 1. Because his printed oath is no concealment but a clear discovery of him and all his conference with him to the Magistrates deserving praise not punishment 2. Coppingers hasty departure the very next day into Ireland disabled him and the Magistrate● to seise him 3. The suspension of the Laws by some in Superiour power against such Romish Vermin at that season will excuse both him and the Magistrates from any punishment or blame in not seising on him could they have conveniently done it 4. Their granting out warrants against the Quakers for disturbing both the Peace Ministers and Government of the City was just legal And their publick abuse both of the Mayor and Governors of the City in print in the two last pages of this Pamphlet stiling them Brethren and Companions but it is in iniquity who have confederated themselves against Christ his anointed c. deserves a sharper Censure then a small fine temporary imprisonment and an obligation to the good behaviour though not yet inflicted on them 3. His exceptions against me are for averring 1. That the Quakers are but the Spawn of Romish Frogs Jesuites and Franciscan Fryers To refute which he alleageth only That they all came from the North that their birth and being was in West moreland near Kendal where they lived walked none of them having ever been out of England To which answer 1. That their coming out of the North is a shrewd argument of their badnesse The Scripture informs us Jer. 1. 14. chap. 4. 6. chap. 6. 1 22. That out of THE NORTH AN EVILL SHALL BREAK FORTH UPON ALL THE INHABIT ANTS OF THE LAND That EVILL APPEARETH OUT OF THE NORTH AND GREAT DESTRUCTION shall be brought from THE NORTH Which the Latin Proverb Omne malum ab Aquilone with the English Adagy A●… evil comes from the North seconding we have just cause to conclude That these Quakers coming from thence are fit Instruments only to bring evil and destruction upon all the Inhabitants of the Land not Gods Messengers Ministers sent thence to save mens Souls 2. Westmoreland is well known to have abounded with Jesuites Popish Priest● Fryers Recusants and persons Popishly affected ever since the Reformation Witnesse the Rebellion of the Earl of Westmorland and the Northern Papists under him to advance the popish Religion and destroy Queen Elizabeth and the protestant Reformation Anno 1569. with the late power of the Lord William Howard Ducket Leyborn Fleming and other Popish Families in that County And therefore we may justly fear an emanation of Jesuitical Franciscan Frogs and Emissaries from thence now 3. Mr. Tillam late or still a Popish Priest Administrator of the Anabaptistical Congregation at Hexam not far from Kendal avers in print That these Quaking Agonies were derived from the Francis can Fryers and the premises sufficiently prove that they were derived to us from them and the Jesuites who took their Pattern from the Idolatrous pagan prietts quaking Transcies and Agonies Therefore his own bare verbal negation thereof will no way disprove my Assertion The rather because the Jesuites Franciscans Benedictines and others have their private Colledges Societies and Generall of their Orders in England and may secretly admit their Disciples into their Orders here without going beyond the Seas as I have proved at large in my Romes-Master-piece The Popish Royal Favourite Hidden works of Darknesse brought to publique Light and my Epistle to a late Seasonable Legal and Historical Vindication to which I shall referre the Reader and our Quakers for fuller Satisfaction 4. Some of them wearing rough Hair cloth and Cords about their bodies like the Franciscan Cordiliers is a very probable Evidence that they were spawned from them and that they are the persons prophecied of Zech. 13. 3 4 5. Which prophecy Lyes in the name of the Lord and wear a garment of hair to Ly and deceive the people which Murford and others of them use 2. For affirming that they use inchanted potions Bracelets Ribands Sorcery and Witchcraft to intoxicate their Disciples Which being sufficiently evidenced in the premises and apparent by many instances in most places where they ramble I shall no further insist to prove it But close up all with these two Scripture Exhortations to the people of England 1.

transformed as the Ministers of Righteousness whose end shall be according to their works With these sacred Scriptures to these New quaking male Prophets whom God never sent abroad to seduce the people of England but the very Father of Lies Jer. 14. 14 15 16. ch 23. 21. to 33. ch 27. 15. ch 29. 31. These Prophets prophesie lies in my name I SENT THEM NOT NEITHER HAVE I COMMANDED THEM NEITHER SPAKE UNTO THEM They prophesie unto you a false vision divination and a thing of nought and the deceit of their heart I have not sent these Prophets yet they run I have not spoken to them yet they prophecyed I have heard what the Prophets said that prophesie lyes in my name saying I have dreamed I have dreamed How long shall this be in the hearts of the Prophets that prophesie lyes yea they are Prophets of the deceit of their own heart which think to cause my people to forget my name by THEIR DREAMS which they TEL EVERY MAN TO HIS NEIGHBOR Therefore behold I am against the Prophets saith the Lord that steal my word every one from his neighbor that use their tongues and say be saith Against them that do prophecy false dreams and do tell them cause my people to erre by their lyes yet I sent them not nor commanded them therefore they shall not profit this people at all saith the Lord FOR THEY PROPHECIE A LYE unto you for I have not sent them saith the Lord yet prophesie a Lye in my name that I might drive you out and that ye might perish ye and the Prophets that prophecie unto you for I will powr their wickednesse upon them With these Gospel-Texts to our New Quaking Female Prophetesses who now in imitation of the New Order of Jesuitesses who out of a pretended zeal of propagating the Gospel and converting Souls to God presumed to wander abroad and preach publickly in England and elsewhere to women and others above the imbecility and beyond the modesty of their sex for sundry years to the great scandal of Religion till at last they were excommunicated and totally suppressed by Pope Vrban the third his Bull Anno Dom. 1631. printed at Rome 1632. presume to speak publickly to the people in some of their Congregations as well as to deliver certain pretended Messages from the Lord who never sent them to private Ministers and others 1 Cor. 14. 33 34 35 37. Let your Women keep silence in your Churches or Assemblies FOR IT IS NOT PERMITTED UNTO THEM TO SPEAK but they are commanded to be under obedience as also saith the Law And if they will learn any thing let them aske their Husbands if married at home For it is a shame for women to speak in the Church For God is not the Author of confusion or tumult but of Peace as in all the Churches of the Saints If any man thinks himself to be a Prophet or Spiritual let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you and this against women speaking publickly in the Church are the Commandments of the Lord Therefore their speaking against Gods Commandments in this sort is onely by the instinct mission and command of the very Devil in opposition to these Gospel-precepts thus seconded again by the Holy Ghost 1 Tim. 2. V. 11 12 13 14. Let the Women learn in silence with all subjection For I suffer not a woman to teach to Vsurp authority over the Man but TO BE IN SILENCE for Adam was first framed then Eve and Adam was not deceived but the Woman being deceived was in the transgression And let those who run after and listen to these Feminine Predicants remember that of Isa 27. V. 11. The Women come and set them on fire for it is a people of no understanding therefore he that made them will not have mercy on them and he that formed them will shew them no favour And with this complaint and prayer to God himself Psal 60. ● 2. O God thou hast cast us off thou hast broken us thou hast been displeased O turn thy self to us again Thou hast made the land to tremble thou hast broken and divided it O heal the breaches thereof FOR IT SHAKETH FINIS A Post-script THat the Jesuites The Pests and Perturbers of all Republicks who domineer by discords tumults Sects and Schisms as well as Franciscan Fryers have a principal hand in erecting promoting the new sect of Quakers or Shakers lately sprung up and much increased amongst us and that by Diabolical delusions sorceries enchantments practices to divide us as much as possible and extirpate our Ministers and Religion these particulars superadded to the premises may more than probably perswade if not satisfactorily convince all intelligent English Protestants and our Quakers likewise for whose information I have made them publick being unknown to most who are utterly ignorant of the stratagems of these Imps of Satan to seduce them to their eternal ruine 1. That Ignatius Loyola the Father of the Jesuites and first Founder General of their Order at first a Soldier by profession when he began to play the Impostor Seducer and institute his New Sect pretended a divine Call from God and Jesus Christ appearing to him whereupon he left his former Profession House Habitation cast off his costly Apparel which he gave away to the poor cloathed himself in course Sackeloth and ragged beggarly cloathes lying upon the bare ground without a bed wandred up and downe in them from place to place like a pilgrim professing the study of poverty penance Mortification and contempt of the world leading a most austere life for a time mostly eating little else but course bread drinking nothing but cold water fasting the greatest part of the week except on the Lords-day conversing with the poorest and meanest sort teaching and preaching to them often gratis in the open streets and woods and all other places where he came without any Ordination or licence at all from the Bishops or Clergy exhorting them to repentance austerity of life and contempt of all earthly things whereby he got great estimation amongst the rude people especially for his pains in instructing their children and them without any Reward gained many followers and some Scholars likewise to be his Companions Maffaeus Vegius Ribadeniera Joannis Eusebius Niremberger Hasenmullerus all Jesuites record at large in his Life with Hospinian and Ludovicus Lucius in their Historia Jesuitica And is not this the very practise of our Quakers and Shakers now who exactly imitate him herein 2. That Ignatius upon his first resolution to enter into this new strict kinde of Life and erect his New Jesuiticall Order fell into a fit of Quaking and Trembling as Ribadeniera his Disciple and others record in his Life Yea Hasenmullerus who was a Jesuite sundry yeares and lived in divers Jesuites Colledges in the end of his Jesuitical History with Ludovicus Lucius Historiae Jesuiticae l.
