A44848	Truth cleared, and the deceit made manifest or, An answer to a printed paper wherein are certaine untruths and false aspersions, cast upon a people, called Quakers, by some members of the church of Wrexham in Wales. With some questions answered: with other false accusations cast upon us, by one whose name is subscribed in print, Mr. Vavasor Powel, who is one of the chief priests of Wales, being in the generation of the scribes and pharisees. Let him that reads understand and he shall see it so. And likewise an answer to other slanders and false reports upon the same people, whom reproachfully they call Quakers, but we rather chuse to suffer reproaches, slanders, and false reports with the people of God, then to deny the power of God made manifest in us. By his servant who seeks the freedoms of Israels children, after the spirit, whom the world calls. Rich. Hubberthorn.

THou saidst thou wast a follower of these people called Quakers for several monthes together and that thou quaked thy selfe in the sight of many people and that thou lay the three nights last past with one of them and that thou heard as it were the noise of an humble-Bee buzzing about the head of the stranger which made thee terribly afraid and would have risen out of bed but thee stranger b●d the lye still Rep. Thou lyer and false accuser thou hast published thy lies so openly and made them so plainly manifest that they who are enlightened in the least measure by the light of God may discern and see thee given over to hardness of heart and to speak lies and publish them abroad In thy first lying paper which was written from thy mouth thou saist thou wast for a weeks space a follower of those thou callst Quakers and here thou hast added more lies and put them in print and saist for several months together which is a lye and that thou quaked thy selfe in the sight of many people that power which made thee to quake and tremble I doe witness to be the power of the Lord and to that in thy conscience which is of God which did affright and terrifie thee thou man of sinne and made thee to quake I am made manifest unto which shall eternally witness me and condemne thee who now goest about to speak evill of the power of God and callest it the power of the divell but thou shalt know it was the power of God which shall plague and torment thee for utter in forth thy lyes and blasphemies against the Lord and his power And whereas thou saidst thou was terribly affrighted with something like the noise of an humble-bee thou canst fear where there is no fear for I do testifie from the Lord against thee that there was no such thing but the deceit being got up in thy mind and thou speakst from the vain imaginations of thy heart uttering forth such things whereby thou wouldst render the truth odious by thy lyes 2 And thou saidst thou wouldst have risen out of bed but the stranger bad thee lye still Rep. My exhortation was to the keeping thy mind out of the vaine imaginations which the deceit had drawne thee into but the deceit being strong in thee and thou yielding obedience to it it would not let thee rest and this was thy excuse as thou sayst in bed to me that thou wast diseased with an infirmity in thy body thou felt thy selfe not well telling me thou wouldst get up and when I wished thee not to disturb the mans family which was in their beds thou replyedst again to me and saidst the disease had used formerly to take thee and would hold thee for the space of a week or longer sometimes and thou saidst to me thou wouldst go to thy friends for if thou staid till morning the Disease might increase more and so disable thee from going home which was about four miles from that place as thou told me and under this pretence thou arose and now the deceit the which thou art servant unto hath made thee to change thy lyes And now 3. Thou saist the Quaker laid his head upon thy shoulder and did blow hard like the hissing of a Goose or Gander as thou hast reported it several times towards thy face or month which made thee leap out of bed as thou saiest in thy shirt in much fear and agony Rep. O thou Prince of darkness who hast hatched a multitude of Lyes in thy dark imaginations which arise out of the bottomlesse pit to make the truth of the Gospel odious and the servants of Jesus Christ contemptible lyers but the Gospel and servants of Jesus Christ trample upon all such as then thou scornfully caldst me a Quaker that name I own else should I deny the Holy men of God as Meses David Daniel and the rest but thou shewest thy self plainly to be of that generation which alwayes scorned the holy men of God as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses so thou who art of the same generation seekest by thy filthy lyes and false reports to oppose the generation of the righteous seed who are coming out of bondage but shalt perish in thy gain-sayings And whereas thou saiest there was a great and terrible wind and that the woman and children of the house was in great fear Rep. Here thou hast uttered forth more of thy lyes for the man and woman of the house do bear witnesse against thee and when thou arose and went out of the house thou toldst the man of the house the same thing as thou declaredst to me which is formerly mentioned which was contrary to these lies which here thou declarest and publishest abroad for which lyes thou must give an account before the Lord who will judg thee in righteousnesse and will not clear the guilty to pass unpunished And again thou saiest Thou testifiedst the next day publickly to my face the particulars before mentioned and I could not deny but thereupon deserted the meeting Rep. I charge thee in the presence of God here with another lye for I did deny thy lyes before all that people and thou wentst forth of the meeting house before me and here thou boasts thy selfe to do mischief and shewest thy selfe to bee of the same Generation which said to David Fie on thee fie on thee did we not see it And thou who hast published this lying Paper saist That the said Spencer ever since hath taken all opportunities publickly and privately as at Wrexham Oswalstrey and elsewhere to publish the same to the satisfying and confirming many in the truth of Christ against their Errors Rep. Be silent thou Flesh before the Lord and take not the name of Christ in thy mouth who art satisfied and confirmed in those lyes and callest them the truth of Christ which is the deceit and lying spirit speaking from one who is departed from the Truth and neglects no opportunity publick nor private to speak forth his lies and goes about to confirm others in the same Deceit with himself to speak evil of the truth and such cause the way of Truth to be evil spoken of but thou art discovered and thy lyes are made manifest and all who are satisfied and confirmed in the Truth cannot be deceived by thee nor thy Errors but to them thou art seen and discovered to be falne from Grace and art servant to the Divel whom thou servest who is the father of Lyers Blessed are ye when men shall revile you and persecute you and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely for my sake Rejoice and be exceeding glad for great is your reward in heaven for so persecuted they the Prophets which were before you This Scripture I witness to be fulfilled who am a Prisoner in outward bonds for the testimony of the Truth at West-Chester whose name after the Flesh is JOHN LAWSON FINIS Hab. 2. 20 Zech. 2. 13 Mark 3. 24 25 Eph. ● 1 Eph. 4. 3 4 Matth. 23. 13 Jo. 8 42 44 2 Cor. 4 2 Rom. 15. 21 Titus 2 12 Jam. 1 18.
