before the Right VVorshipful Justice Whittacre Justice Hubbert Written by John Taylor There is a Pamphlet in this kinde written with too much haste I know not by whom with but few truths which in this are more largely expressed London Printed for John Hammon 1651 Ranters of both Sexes Male and Female being thirteen or more taken and imprisoned in the Gate-house at Westminster and in the New prison at Clerken-well ALthough many thousands of us poor mortals cannot perceive with our bodily eyes or by our darknesse of Reason and dulnesse of Understanding see or know any Visible Church Militant upon Earth yet Christ hath a Spouse which he knows and protects assists and preserves and is with her always to the end of the world which the gates of Hell shall never prevaile against This Church hath always been opposed oppressed and molested by Heretiques who with their cursed opinions have done their uttermost endevors to rend and tear her in peeces with swarmes of Sects Sectarians and dangerous blasphemous opinions and divisions All these Heretiques Schismaticks and Sectarians by reason of their multiplicities of opinions and diversities in their irreligious Religions did hate one another with a most inveterate and deadly hatred insomuch as they scorned and despised to converse eat or drink together they would never meet or congregate together at any of their publique or private exercises of their blind zealous devotions Yet notwithstanding all these severall and various disagreements they always concurred and agreed together to ruine the race and Rebell against the Lord and his Anoynted The Devill would permit them to joyn in league against God and his Church Edomites Moabites Ishmalites Ammonites Amalekites Gebabites The Philistians Tirenians and Assyrians Ephraim against Manasses Manasses against Ephraim Herod against Pilate Pilate against Herod Sadduces Pharisees Herodians Libertines Cillicians Cerenians Astans and Alexandrians All those did hate one another and yet they agreed together as the 83 Psalm specifies and the whole relation of our Saviours life and death doth expresse it by the pens of the Evangelists and Acts of the Apostles I have a Recitall of the Names and Opinions of many wicked and detestable Heretiques Heresies and blasphemous wretches but that I will not hold my Reader in too long and tedious suspence Therefore I will now proceed to the matter intended and promised in the Front and Title of this Book About the tenth or twelfth of May 1651. there were apprehended and taken in an unlawfull Assembly these persons following Thomas Kerbye Thomas Tidford Anne Burrell Elizabeth Sorrell Widdow Elizabeth Sorrell junior Mary Vanlopp These were brought before the Right Worshipful Laurence Whitaker Esq a judiciall Justice of the Peace and Quorum for the County of Middlesex he did examine the said parties and found their opinions to be so blasphemous and damnable Heretical that it amazeth me with horrour to write them and I am sure it will strike terrour and astonishment into the hearts of any true Christian either to read or hear it They are tearmed or called by the name of Ranters and their Opinions they affirmed to bee as followeth They said that they did beleeve that one John Robins is God the Father and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ and that the Childe which is yet unborn and now in the womb of Joan Robins the wife of the aforesaid John shall bee the Saviour of all those that shal be saved both in this world and in the world to come And that Cain who murthered his Brother Abel was the third person in the Trinity And that all those that do deny it do deny their own salvation They beleeve also that the said John Robius had power to raise the dead This was all which they acknowledged to be the grounds and principles of their Faith and Religion for the which detestable and execrable Blasphemies they were all six committed Prisoners to the Gate-house at Westminster and there they doe remaine till some course of Law and Justice may order them according to their demerits Also here followeth a true Relation of seven others of the said Crew whereof John Robins their supposed ungodly God is one their Names are as followeth and they are all in the New-Prison or Bridewell at Clerken-well John Robins Rich King Joshua Garment Joane Garment Joane Robins Margaret Hollis Eliz Haygood To give a further Testimony of the truth of what is before written I desire the Reader to take notice of the Coppy of their commitment by a Warrant or Mittimus from the Right Worshipfull Tho Hubbert Esquire one of the Justices for the Peace in the aforesaid County of Middlesex A true Coppy of Justice Hubberts Warrant for committing these seven persons to the New-Prison at Clerken-well Middlesex YOu shall by vertue hereof receive into your Custody the Bodies of John Robins Richard King Joshua Garment Joane Garment Joane Robins Margaret Hollis and Elizabeth Haygood being persons that are great Blasphemers and unlawfully assembled together The aforesaid Robins being acknowledged by them to be God Almighty and their great deliverer and for holding very grosse and blasphemous Opinions as appeareth by their severall examinations taken before me and behaving themselves very rudely and uncivilly clapping their hands and fillipping with their fingers casting themselves downe upon the ground and singing and useing strange postures Requiring you safely to detaine and keep them in your Custody till they shall be delivered by due course of Law and this shall be your Warrant Dated this 24th of May 1651. Signed THO HUBBERT Thus the Devil shewes by his raging that his raigning draws towards an end sometimes his Malice workes upon particular persons as upon Noah in Drink Lot with Incest David with Adultery c. But his whole and maine generall drift ever hath bin and ever will be to disturbe and destroy the Church of God to sow his mischievous tares of damnable Errours and mingle his hellish seed of Sects and Schismes with the pure and all-saving Word of God of which not onely the sacred Scriptures doe mention frequently But amongst all Nations in all ages they are declared in Histories as in Eussebius Socrates St. Augustine and all the ancient Fathers doe testifie and for the present the proofes of these miseries are most plain and too lamentable apparent Nor were people ever growne to such an impudent height of impiety as they are at this day for in King Davids time hee wrote that The Foole said in his HEART there was no God wherby I note that though that Foole were an Hypocrite yet he was
