Wo from the Lord God to every one that settles therein For I testifie in the Name of Jehovah that made the Heavens and the Earth and all that is in them That the True Name of this CANAAN is SODOM and EGYPT and that our Lord is daily Crucified therein And now William Dimsdale if there be a Day for thee to Repent in Repent of this thy great Wickedness in calling Christ Pharoah and his holy Burdens the Egyptian-Tasks and those Tastes of Comfort which thou hast felt to Encourage thee in thy Obedience to be like the Peace with the Egyptians when the Tale of Brick was delivered Oh Miserable Man if thou Perish thy Blood is upon thine own Head God never Required any thing of thee by his Light that was Unreasonable never to make Brick and find Straw but he gave thee a Measure of his Grace in which thou foundst Power to deliver thee and hadst thou kept Faithful to it thou hadst known Salvation by it But now thou hast cast off Christ's Yoak and Burden and endeavourest to betray him into the Hands of the Priests and Pharisees Oh Repent and Pray if it be possible that this thy Wickedness may be forgiven thee for if not the Weightof it will sink thee into Everlasting Misery S. Crisp AN ACCOUNT FROM HARTFORD HAving taken notice of a late Pamphlet set forth one part by William Haworth and the other part by W. D. the Title thereof A Quaker Converted to Christianity and that it was in Hartford We whose Names are under written being Inhabitants of the said Place could not but admire that such a thing should be in that Place and we wholely Strangers to it And One so Eminent as W. H. doth describe him that he need not fear to Encounter any Quaker in England in Discourse This set some of us on Enquiring who it should be upon which Enquiry it was found to be One who had been Apprentice and now is Servant to one Thomas Grigson of Hartford who by Trade is a Weaver and with his Wife hath belonged to our Meeting these many years They being asked concerning their Man Whether he was in any wise accounted a Quaker say They know nothing that be was ever so much as Convinced of that Blessed Truth owned by the Quakers so as to be in Society with them or Conformable to their Testimony And further They know not that he was ever looked upon by any Person whatsoever to be a Quaker in the least but only that he behaved himself soberly towards them And further his Master and Dame with whom he lived sayes He might come to the Meetings many years ago among the Boys somtimes but so that they never understood that he had any Convincement upon his Mind And so they with us do think strange that any Man or Men dare be so Impudent as to set forth in Print a thing so notoriously False and in it further to affirm That He to wit the said W. D. was fully of their Way Spirit Faith and Principle meaning the Quakers Now do but mind what the Lad saith of himself in his Part of the Pamphlet p. 7. First As to Silent Meetings he was not satisfied 2dly That he used to salute his Friends and others with Pulling off his Hat How now William Haworth Was this to be Fully of our Way Spirit Faith and Principle one with us Let them that know us judge For he that comes not to know a Benefit in Silent Meeting knows little of the Quakers Faith or Principle although we appoint none with the Limitation before-hand as to be Silent Meetings but if any have any thing to speak from the Lord is as much at Liberty as at other times But however a Benefit we know by them though no Words be spoken we whose Minds are gathered Inwards * Hab. 2. 1 2 3. James 5. 7. Acts 3. 19. to wait upon the Lord in the Silence of all Flesh or Fleshly Thoughts and to have an inward Ear open to hear what the Spirit saith and have and do blessed be the Lord often at such Meetings feel the Times of Refreshing which come from his Presence And here is the True Worship known which is in Spirit and in Truth and such the Lord seeks to worship him And so the Intent of the True Ministry * Acts 26. 17 18. is to direct the Minds of Men and Women to God's Spirit manifest in their Hearts and there to worship and not as W. H. saith That those Gifts and Vertues wrought by the Spirit of God in our Minds are a Man 's own Righteousness to wit that which Paul calls his own Phil. 3. 9. but the Righteousness of meer man which is as Gross a Contradiction and Corrupt Doctrine as if he should tell us That Paul in his desiring to be found in Christ not having his own Righteousness which was of the Law desired to be found in Christ not having those Gifts and Vertues that the Spirit of God works in our Minds Oh wonderful Darkness but this is answer'd else-where And then as to the World They can know a Quaker by his not pulling off his Hat which this Lad by his own Confession used to do Now William Haworth where is this Great Goliah Quaker that was thus Converted and yet was never known by us nor by the World to be a Quaker But rather then W. H. will want a Prodigy or a Wonder to the World he will call him a Quaker No doubt William thou deservest the Right-hand of Fellowship of Tho. Hicks for he only forges a silly Quaker and then makes him speak what he pleases but thou hast Converted a Quaker O Wonder if this had been true William the next time thou writest things of this kind lay them a little closer together and remember the old Proverb That it is Old Men and far Travellers that Lye without Controle So far we were willing to let the World know the Truth of the Matter believing that at times something of God hath been stirring both in William Haworth and the Young-Man which we desire they may Return to and Repent before it be too late We have subscribed our Names as followeth William Faireman Thoman Grigson Thomas Chalkley Henry Sweeting Nathaniel Gerrard Abraham Rutt Richard Martin Richard Thomas Edward Plumsted Henry Stout Nicholas Lucas AH William Haworth what is become of that Tenderness that once was upon thy Heart Then wast thou little in thy own Eyes then didst thou confess to the Truth and the Quakers were Honest People in thy Account How well had it been for thee if thou hadst grown in that Tenderness But it is just with the Lord that all who Rebel against the Light of his Son should be Hardned It would be well for thee to consider where thou art and what thou art doing for doubtless thou art now found fighting against the Lord and his Glorious Work which he hath begun in the Earth but it is all in vain and to no purpose for it will Prosper And if thou canst stop the Sun in its Course and set Bounds and Limits to the Sea then mayst thou accomplish thy Desire For the Lord hath Blessed us yea and we shall be Blessed and there is no Inchantment against us And thy Printing Books and spreading them and Preaching so much against the Quakers and Villifying them as thou dost doth but manifest that Spirit of Envy and Bitterness which is not of God and so is a Diâ—advantage to thy self and will be turned unto Advantage to us and all sober People and such as are of an Honest Upright Heart will soon discover thee For what is the Chaff to the Wheat And although thy Understanding be so darkened that thou canst not see the Dawning of the Day of God yet 't is not in thy Power to shut the Eyes of others from seeing the Glory of it nor to stop their Ears from hearing and knowing the True Shepherd's Voice from the Voice of the Stranger It is too late for thee to begin thy VVork at this time of the Day for the Son of God is come and hath given us an Understanding to know him that is True and many are in him and do know the Elect Seed born that cannot be Deceived And thy terming the Quakers Spirit to be Delusion and their Doctrine Antichristian these words if ever thy Eyes come to be opened will be a Burden too heavy for thee to bear For it is no less then Reviling the Light of the Son of God which he hath given for a Leader to his People to lead out of all Evil into all Truth and those who have followed the Lord fully and faithfully therein have found Life and Salvation according to that Promise He shall save his People from their Sins not in their Sins and of this there are Thousands of Living VVitnesses And therefore come down out of that high and lofty spirit and bow unto that which convinceth thee of Sin for all that will not bow thereunto will be broken thereby There is not an easier way unto Life for thee then there was for us and yet we have no Cause to complain of a Burdensom Yoak or that the Lord is a Hard Master for the Yoak of Christ is easie and his Burden is light And do not flatter thy self with vain Hopes of our Fall for the Eyes that look for that will perish in their Holes for we are built upon the Rock of Ages and though the Storms of Affliction beat on the one hand and the Raging Sea which casts up Mire and Dirt on the other yet shall we stand for our Foundation is unmovable and the Gates of Hell shall not prevail against us And this is my Testimony for the Lord to thee and all who joyn with thee in this VVork Cease striving against the Lord in his People and Repent of your Evil else you and your VVork will fall together For no Weapon that is formed against them shall prosper Mary Stout ERRATA PAge 3. line 22. for banes read â—ands Page 4. line 13. for which read with P. 31.

so was not suoh a Perfect Quaker as W. H. hath said but stumbled at the very Door and VVay by which the Quakers came to know God and Jesus Christ whom he hath sent which is Life Eternal John 17. 3. as I have before shewed And so William Haworth's great Joy Refreshment and Boast of the Quaker Converted is founded upon a Lye which is of the Devil the Father of Lyes which he hath made his Refuge and Bulwork against the Truth and them that walk in it and that he might privily shoot his Arrows at the upright in Heart the Children of Light whom he calls Seducers Anti-christian in whom Satan is transform'd into an Angel of Light with many other envious rayling speeches for which the Lord will judge him But the Children of Light are out of his reach and of all such who in their dark Envy and vain Imaginations seek to devour them and as they abide in the Truth they are in that the Devil is out of and he hath no Power over them and they are armed with the whole Armour of Light against all the fiery Darts of the Wicked Everlasting Praises be to him that sits upon the Throne and to the Lamb forever who is getting the Victory over the Beast and his Image the Dragon and his Floods Whore and False Prophet And Great Babylon is sinking like a Mlll-stone whose Harpers Voice shall be heard no more at all and the Voice of her grinding Mill shall be heard no more at all Glory in the Highest The Day is come in which no Man will buy her Ware any more her Merchants are Howling and Gnawing their Tongues for Pain for strong is the Lord that judgeth Her And God is Confounding this Great City and setting up his Holy City upon a Hill which cannot be hid whose Light is like a Jasper clear as Chrystal And without are Dogs and all Lyars and whatsoever workeâ—h Abomiâ—ation and maketh a Lye And her True Light is shining and the Glory of God is arising more and more which shall shake terribly the Earth and the Inhabitants thereof amongst whom the Devil is come down in great Rage knowing he hath but a short time Rejoyce ye Children of the Lord and lift up your Heads all ye Upright in Heart Rejoyce ye Heavens and ye that dwell in the Heavenly Places in Christ Jesus and Praise your God forever whose Power is come whose Glory shines whose Dominion is witnessed over Death and Hell and the Gates of it whose Dreadful Presence is now again known which the Worker of Iniquity cannot endure The Eye-lids of the Morning are unto them as the Shadow of Death Every one that doth Evil hates the Light neither cometh to it lest their Deeds should be reproved This is the Ground of their Vexation and Rage against the Pure Appearance of the Lord But Arise O God more and more and let the Sea Roar and the Waters be Troubled bring forth thy Glorious Work already begun in the Earth and rent thou the Vail of thick Darkness from Top to Bottom which is yet spread over People and Nations that the Graves may be opened and the Dead may here thy Voice and arise and come forth to Judgment let thy Dread fall upon the Heathen round about to awaken them and Exalt thy Everlasting Truth and Name over all the Powers of Darkness that many may be gathered into thy Heavenly Kingdom of Righteousness and Peace that the Poor among Men may Rejoyce and the Meek increase their Joy in tâ—ee who art the Strength of thy People in all Ages who never failed them that put their whole trust in thee To whom be Everlasting Praises Glory and Thanksgiving from all that know thy Name God over all Heaven and Earth blessed forever and ever Halelujah And now Will. Haworth I would put thee in Remembrance once more to consider this thy Work and the Ground of thy Rage against the Lord and his innocent People and what the Effects and End thereof will be and recollect in thy mind and ponder thy false Charges and things which thou hast written against them in that Pamphlet and see if thou canst stand by them when examined to thy face which thou hast published to the view of many People and let the Witness of God arise in thee and answer for it s of the Deity by which thou sayest the Barbarous People saw that Vengeance was due on Murderers and see if it will not be thy own Portion who art found a Hater of thy Brother as Cain did Abel without just Cause For he that hateth his Brother is a Murderer and we know that no Murderer hath Eternal Life abiding in him 1 John 3. 15. Chap. 2. vers 11. Therefore consider it and see if thy Fruits do agree with thy Professâ—on for the Tree is known and judged by the Fruits it brings forth who sayst You eat Christ's Flesh and drink his Blood and that he dwelleth IN you and you IN him too high words for a Lyar and Slanderer and Murderer for such as eats his Flesh and drinks his Blood hath Eternal Life John 6. 54. which the Hater of his Brother hath not nor the Lyar and Railer hath not any Inheritance in the Kingdom of God and of Christ 1 Cor. 6. 9 10. which thou art manifested to be both as by thy Fruits hath Appeared And so thy saying Christ dwells IN you and you IN him will not save thee from the Lyars Portion which is the Lake of Torment which is already begun in thee and the Smoak thereof ascends in this thy foaming out thy own Shame against an Innocent People for which the Lord doth judge thee and it will ascend forever if thou repent not speedily Who art so Hardened to say Thou Testifiest in the Lord that the Quakers Spirit is a Spirit of Delusion and that their Doctrine is Antichristian And callest them Seducers and other Reproachful Names and that thou hast many Ten Thousands are ready to Testifie the same with thee But Thy Lord thou hast manifested whose Name thou art in to be the Lyar and Murderer from the beginning which ruleth in thee as by thy Fruits is evident And we do judge of a Tree by its Fruits as the Young-Man also said whom thou sayst is a Quaker Converted to Christianity as if the Quakers are no Christians shewing thy Envy against them and thy Ignorance or Wilful Blindness concerning the Scriptures of Truth in which may be seen plentifully that God's People whom he hath had regard unto above all People in all Ages were such as Trembled at his Word as in Isa 66. and Moses was a Leading-Quaker Hebr. 12. and Ezekiel was a Quaker see Chap. 12. 18. and Daniel a Man greatly beloved was a Trembler Chap. 10. 11 12. and Paul preached in much Trembling and in the Demonstration of the Spirit and of Power 1 Cor. 2. 3. and the same Apostle bid the true obedient Christians to work out their Salvation
