she being an Ingenious Industrious Woman imployed in a Trade so that between twenty and thirty Years she got enough to maintain them well in their Old Age now they have given over Trading F. Bugg quarrels with T. Green for not entertaining him at his House when he and his Wife came to London It cannot be the Custom of our Preachers to entertain every one that comes to London although they have been entertained in their Travels when they visited the Meetings in the Countries where they preached if they should do so their Houses would be like Inns. But F. Bugg accuses him for not keeping one of his poor Brothers there was no reason for that for what Ellen Green got by her Indudustry should be spent by such an extravagant woman as his Brother's Wife was by Relation what they gave him he should be little the better for his Wife would devour it But T. Green kept his own Mother and his Wife's Mother many Years in Meat Drink and Cloaths during their Lives and hired them a House to dwell together and found them all other necessaries as I have heard I never went to London but they always gave me entertainment although T. Green seldom came to my House in the Country and both Thomas and his Wife were very serviceable to me in providing me Lodgings or any other thing I desired Samuel Cater I have known about Thirty Years he hath been a great Sufferer upon the account of his Religion Imprisoned many times Six Years at one time a close Prisoner for Three Years of the time not stirred out of the Prison F. Bugg says that he was a poor Journey-man Carpenter and now a Rich Man worth Hundreds of Pounds What then shall an Industrious Man work more than Forty Years and get nothing His Trade was a gainful Trade if it be wisely managed and yet he is not a Rich Man he hath a Commendable House and the Lot that belongs to it when the Fenns were taken in at little Port in the Isle of Ely and two Acres and a half of Arable Land in the Fields and this is all his visible Estate that I can hear of besides a small Stock to carry on the Butter Trade for he is a Factor to send Butter to London altho' he is about seventy Years of Age yet he gets his living by that Trade F. Bugg makes a great noise against S. Cater about a Meeting where S. C. was Fined for Preaching and had his Timber siezed but Had it again says F. B and had 10 l. sent him by his Friends towards his Loss That he had his Timber again appears to me to be a false Story of F. B's making for S. Cater does affirm that he never had his Timber again and that the Officers sold it his Goods in his House were siezed at the same time them he had again a Neighbour bought them of the Officers and sent them to him This shews what a Malicious Lyer F. B. is and if any of his Friends were so Charitable as to send him 10 l. to help to pay Debts or to carry on his Trade they did well in so doing better than F. B. in upbraiding him Now I come to George Whitehead F. Bugg hath vented his Malice against him in an abundant manner in most of his Books the Cause whereof is because he hath answered most of them and laid him open effectually It is hard to recount how bitterly malicious this F. Bugg hath been against him the slanderous Lies that he hath vented against him are hard to be numbred his own Books will witness against him that what I say is true for G. Whitehead I have not known him but by Report till of late Years F. Bugg reports him a poor Boy came out of the North on foot his Father dwelt in a poor Cottage not worth above 50 s. His Education from his Youth shews to the contrary although I was not acquainted with him but of late Years yet I can say something to prove his Education and Learning in his Youth which is to be preferr'd before F. Bugg's that was but a Wool-Comber George Whitehead when he was a Young Man travelled in the Service of Truth into Suffolk I had an Aunt a Person of Quality according to the World's Account she was a wise Woman and inquisitive after Religion and desired that a Quaker might be brought to her to discourse with G. Whitehead was brought to her and after her Discourse with him she told me and others That the Quakers held the same Opinion that her Cousin Barrow did that was hanged for his Religion in Queen Elizabeth ' s Days and that this Barrow was Chaplain to her Grandfather Sir Nicholas Bacon I heard my Grandmother say the same thing that Henry Barrow was her Father's Chaplain and Tutor to his Children whereof she was one of them and that the Bishop of London was the chief Cause of his Death and said further that he was a very religious good Man and for G. Whitehead my Aunt said that she did believe that he was a Gentleman born or brought up under the same Education with them and call'd him the Gentleman Quaker always when she spoke of him In Pag. 137 F. Bugg tells a long Story of Stephen Crisp deceased and Samuel Duncon's Wife of Norwich deceased I have examined the Truth of this Matter and I find it to be very false and a wicked Report of Bugg's raising He names Joseph Carver and Thomas Buddery both of Norwich for his Witnesses Since I read this Book Joseph Carver hath been at my House I examined him and he said that his Wife was Samuel Duncon's Sister and that he went often to S. Duncon's House and if there had been any thing as F. Bugg says he should have heard something of it which he never did I desired him to send a Letter of what Tho. Buddery could say in this Case Tho. Buddery says in the Letter he sent me That this Story is like F. Bugg's old Way of belying the Dead as much as the Living and says further That Sam. Duncon ' s Wife was well known to all her Neighbours to be a sober honest Woman This Woman was lame and made use of a Surgeon for Help and Bugg makes an Evil of that also F. Bugg in Pag. 33. says That Stephen Crisp was a poor Weaver at the Beginning and died a very rich Man What then if it were so This does not conclude him a dishonest Man He married a second Wife that was a Dutch Woman that had Children by a former Husband It was said that she was very rich She died before him and I have heard that when she died S. C. gave all she brought to him to her Children and did not inrich himself by her therefore I have no Reason to believe that he died a very rich Man He was a good Lawyer I have made use of his Counsel and it was very beneficial to me but he took no
