The SCOOL-MASTER disciplin'd ▪ OR , A Reply to a lying Paper , entitulled , The gadding tribe reproved , &c. WHereas there is a paper lately put forth , intitul'd , The gadding Tribe reproved by the light of the Scriptures , by one who writes himself George VVillington , School-master in the City of Bristol , whose book is very filly and vain ; but that sools love to bee medling : and in it there is much railing , lying , and false accusing , against those people called by the scorners Quakers : I shal say something as to it , for the truths sake , that the lies may rest upon his own head , from whence they came : Whereas thou sayest , A word from the VVord , to the Serpent-generation called Quakers , especially to the conniving seducer , John Andland ▪ and the rest of his brethren in iniquity , who have of late set forth a malicious Pamphlet against our godly Magistrates , and faithful Ministers , intituled , The innocent delivered out of the snare , and the blinde guide sallen into the pit . Reply , The innocent delivered out of the snare is not malicious , and in this thou art a false accuser ; and in saying I am a seducer , thou art a slanderer , I charge thee to prove it , and in what , which thou hast not yet done , though thou rail upon me ; and I did not write maliciously against any , much less against Godly Magistrates , and faithful Ministers ; but godly Magistrates I own , and honor in the Lord , and faithful Ministers I have unity withal , and brethren in iniquity is denied ; thesefore thee I do deny , who a worker of iniquity art found , and from the presence of the Lord shut among the serpent-generation , who in scorn calls us Quakers ; and the word is against thee , who art feeding upon dust , and going upon thy belly , and the word of the Lord , even the word of truth is against thee , who art an accuser of the brethren , and rewarded must thou be according to thy deeds ; and though thou hast named that book , the innocent delivered , yet let all take notice who reads thy filthy paper , that thou hast not answered any one thing there demanded , neither confuted any one answer in that Book ; so the snare remains broken , and the innocent is delivered , and he that digged a pit into it himself falls , and the Scripturo is fulfilled , they that help , and hee that is holpen , hoth falls together And whereas thou s●ts down many Scriptures , as of blind guides , Serpents , scribes , Pharisces , Hypocrites , whited Sepulchres , and writest , Ye serpents , yee vipers , how can ye escape the damnation of hell ? ye are they that justifie your selves before men , but that which is highly esteemed amongst men , is an abomination to the Lord . Reply , In that which is an abomination to the Lord thou art , which is eesteemed amongst men , and these Scriptures were spoken to thy Generation ; and upon thy own head they are returned , for we seek not the praise of men , neither have we the praise of men , and therefore it is that the ●linde guides , Vipers , Serpents gather themselves together against the truth , which by the power of God is now spreading a witness against all deceit , and deceivers . Thou sayest thou writest directly to thee , John Audland , and usest these words , thou hypocrite , why hath satan filled thy heart to lye against the Holy Ghost , why b●astest thou thy selfe in mischief , O mighty man ! thy tongue deviseth mischief like a sharp Rasor , thou lovest evil more then good ; thou lovest all devouring words : O thou deceitsul tongue ! God shal destroy thee for ever : And sayest Paul set his eyes on Elimas the sorcerer , and said ( as I may say to thee John Audland ) O ful of subtilty and all mischief , thou child of the Devil ; and sayest ▪ repent of this thy wickedness , for I perceive thou art in the gall of bitterness , and in the bond of iniquity , and many such words thou writest . Reply , Take it to thy self who art of the Generation to which it was spoken , for home to thee do I return it , who art in the bitterness , and in the gall , loving all devouring words , these things comes not neer me , but over thy head do I rejoyce , the misery wil fall upon thy self , and thy unclean ▪ spirit the Lord rebuke , a false accuser thou art , and a slanderer ; I do not love evil more than good , if I had , I should not have become thine enemy : neither am I the gall of bitterness , or bond of iniquity , thou hast uttered that which thou knowest not , for if thou hadst known what this means ( I wil have mercy and not sacrifice ) thou wouldst not have condemned the innocent . And whereas thou sayest , judge not that thou he not judged , and judge nothing before the time ; and with what measure thou meetest , it shall be measured to thee again , and writest against others for rayling and judging . Reply . Thou art inexcusable , who judgest another and doest the same thing , thy mouth is ful of railing , lying , false accusing , which proceeds out of the aboundance of thy heart , as in thy book appears , & out of thy own mouth thou art condemned ; and this I demand , whether calling others Serpents , Vipers , full of all mischiefe , children of the devil , be not judging ? and if this be not , then shew the difference between this and judging ; thou hast gone about to confute that the Saints is not to judge , and that confutes thee , who yet knows not a Saints life , and art so blinde thou cannot behold that thou alloweth thy self in the thing which thou condemneth , and with what measure thou measurest , it shal be measured to thee again ; good weight shalt thou receive from the hand of the Lord , who art weighed , and found as chaff which the wind drives to and fro . In thy 7 pag , thou beseecheth all who shall read thy book , upon consideration of the premises ( which is these things before mentioned ) to avoid , and abandon the meetings , books , erroneous doctrines , and hellish blasphemies , of this new upstart impious Generation . Reply , All who knows the Lord , and reads thy book , wil avoid thee and it , and have no fellowship , with such unfruitful workers , and works of Darkness , thou hast forgotten judge not ; and thou hypocrite , first cast out the beam , thy envious Spirit which fomes like the sea , casting up filth , swells beyond its bounds , but thou art limited , as all thy impious generation have been ; and by the power of the Lord are we preserved from thy errors , and hellish blasphemy ; and thy railing and slandering return upon thy felt , fruitless tree , upon which no grapes is gathered , Thou sayest , what Paul said to the Galatians , the same thou wilt say to the giddy headed people of the Church of England . Reply . The true Church is in God , builded upon the true rock , and is not giddy-headded , here thou manifests the fruits of the Teachers , who so long hath taught , and had so much for teaching , and the Church of England yet giddy-headded ; but the Lord is comming to gather his people into the true Fold , from the mouths of all Idol Shepheards , and to teach his people himself , that they may be established in righteousness , Thou sayest Paul taught the Romanes , and in them us ; first , that it is the imputed Righteousness of Christ onely , that makes us just in the sight of God . Secondly , that our election is of Gods free Grace . Thirdly , that we are justified only by faith in the sight of God , without good works : fourthly , that the scriptures is of divine authority Reply , Silence flesh before the Lord , upon the children of disobedience , shall the wrath of God be revealed ; own thy Portion what Paul said to such as thee , thou must witness a change before that which Paul wrote to the Romanes be to thy condition ; the Lord is our righteousness , and our justification , and by his grace we are saved , who hath elected us , and chosen us in Christ Jesus , who hath all power and authority committed unto him , and upon whose shoulders the government is laid , but from thy earthly wisdom is the election and the faith hid , who art without good works , and belyes the Apostle , and ignorant art of the Letter which kils . Fiftly , Thou sayest no man since the fall of Adam can perfectly fulfil the Law of God in this Life , and therefore cannot merit , except it be wrath . Reply . For meriting the wrath , it s thy own , but Christ Jesus since the fall of Adam hath perfectly fulfilled the Law of God , and there is Salvation in no other , and the righteousness of the Law is fulfilled in us , who walk not after the flesh but after the spirit , but by the works of the Law no flesh shall be justified for the Commandment which was ordained unto life , wrought death , if thou can hear thou may . In thy sixt and seventh thou saist , that he that hath received a Ministry should wait on his Ministry , and take heed to fulfil it , and that every soul must be subject to the higher power , and yeild obedience to every Ordinance of theirs , if not contrary to Gods word . Reply . Thou slanders us , and rails upon us who hath received a Ministry from God , & waits to fulfil it , and thou receives such as come in their own name , who are made by the wil of man , & against such do we bear witness by the power of God , unto which our souls is subject for conscience sake , and to every ordinance for the Lords sake , which is not contrary to Gods word . Thou sayest thou art afraid that the Lord hath a controversie with the Church of England . Reply , Fearfulness surprizeth the heart of the hypocrite , and a controversie hath the Lord with you , because of your iniquities ; misery is coming upon you fearful ones , and unbelievers , who are no Church of Christ , but a Synagogue of Satan , who say , they are Iews and are not , but are a giddy-headed Church , as thou confessest . Thou sayest , Make not the light within a rule to walk by , and yet saith , sollow the light within , and teacher within ; what else ? Reply , The light discovers thee to be in confusion , they that walk in the light stumbles not , and they who love the Light bring their deeds to it , and believes in the light ; but their deeds are evil who ha●e it , and walk not in it , and there is thy condemnation . Thou sayest , He that entreth not in by the door , ( to wit , a true and lawful call ) but climbeth up some other way , the same is a thief and a robber , and such are the quakers ; but he that entreth in by the door is the shepherd of the Sheep , and such are your ancient Divine● . Reply , Here thou ( as in other places ) art a false accuser , and a perverter of the Scriptures , your Divines is not the Shepheard , there thou art a blasphemer , who would set up fal●e Christs ; the true Shepheard laid down his life for the sheep , and he is the door , and them whom thou slanderest , enters in at the door where no thief , nor no diviner can enter , nor no hireling , which the true Shepheard cryed against . And as thou sayest , Thou will speak something to our principles ; first , for judging . Reply , Thou hast judged us to be deceivers and seducers , and false accusations against the truth thou hast brought , and against some in particular , naming , that Iohn Audland was a child of the Devil , and yet thou hast confessed thou never saw me , nor heard me , but thou hast not proved wherein , which I charge thee to do publikely , or own thy condemnation for thy slandring , lying , and backbiting , thy laying that it is so , doth not make it to be so , and that which thou cals a confutation , confutes thyself , but proves nothing against the Saints judging them whom they saw and discerned to be unlearned ▪ for when an unbeliever came in , or one that was unlearned , he was judged of all , and the thoughts of his heart made manifest , and this honor have all the Saints , to bind Kings in chains , and to execute upon the heathen all the judgments written ▪ and the Scripture we own , and the Saints life , by which thou art judged , and with the light condemned , who judgest and acts against the Saints with that mind that is for judgment . The second is , that they are not true Ministers , which are called by mans Ministery , or by a mediate call from man , and this thou goest about to confute , by saying that Christ ordained apostles and disciples : And the Holy Ghost said , Seperate me Barnabas , and Saul , for the work of the Ministry , and that there was Elders ordained in the Church and the like . Reply . These things proves nothing to thy mediate cal , or mans Ministery ; Christ is not born by the wil of man , and holy men spoke as they were moved by the Holy Ghost , and no prophesie came by the will of man ; Paul a Minister and Apostle , not by the will of man ; and that which is highly esteemed amongst men is abomination in the sight of God : and there is thy mediate call , and mans ministery , which the Scriptures speaks not of ; what Christ did , and the Saints did , was by the power of God , and the Holy Ghost spoke to them , no voice of that is heard in thy mediate cal , or mans ministry , therefore denied by them who are guided by the Spirit o● the Lord , who receives not the ministry of man , but by the revelation of Iesus Christ , and that 's not mans ministry . The third is , that we are to salute no man . Reply . This is thy own , and in thy confutation thou answerest thy self ; for the Saints Salvation we own , and honors all men in the Lord , which is more than the heathen do ; but we have learned not to fashion our selves according to the world , and to deny the customs of the heathen and their flattering titles , and vain fashions , which is without the fear of God , who have mens persons in admiration because of advantage , and respects mens persons , and commits sin ; and a difference do we put betwixt the Saints salvation , and the vain fashions and customs of the heathen , which Israel was not to observe . The fourth is , that the Scripture ought not to be expounded , and that expounding of Scripture is an adding to Scripture , and if we add , then God wil add to us all the plagues that are written therein , and in thy confutation , saith , Christ expounded Scriptures . Reply . He that adds , the plagues is to be added to him , as it is written ; but thy other words is false , and thy own , it is your own imagination of the Scripture which we deny , wresting it as thou hast done , and adding with thy Envious spirit against the truth ; but that Christ expounded the Scriptures was neuer denied by us ; and that he opened their understandings to understand the Scriptures , we own and witness ; and the Spirit of Christ is one in all his Saints ; and for the ly let it return upon thy own head . Thy Fift is , that it is not lawfull to use the title of Master to any , and in thy confutation thou saith , Christ was called Master ; and where it is said , Be ye not called Master , for one is your Master even Christ , thou sayest , the meaning is not that it is unlawful to be called Master . Reply , thou shews thy self to be none of Christs servant , who pleads against his command , and saith , he bad them avoid a thing which was not unlawful , if it be not unlawful , its lawful ; thou hast forgotten now to make Scripture thy rule , as for Christ being called Master , he was and is so , and whom hee made Ministers , he made them not Masters , for they had one Master , and him we own to be master ; and in this thou art a Lyar , and of the Devill , who saith , we say it is not lawfull to use the title of Master to any ; and we likewise say , and exhort thereto , that servants should be obedient to their owne Masters , not as men-pleasers with eye-service , but serving the Lord . Thy sixt is , that Infant-Baptism is no Ordinance of Christ , and therefore of no use in the Church of God ; and thou saith , an express command thou grants is not to be found ; but thou saith infants were circumcised , and Baptism is ordained in the room of that . Reply . VVe deny it to be an Ordinance of Christ , or that it came in the room of Circumcision ; the Scripture speaks of no such thing as infant-Baptism , and til thou prove it came in the room of Circumcision , thy saying proves nothing : the male-children were circumcised , in room of what came in your female children to be sprinkled ? thou speaks thou knows not what , he is a Jew who is one inwardly , and Baptism is by the spirit , and circumcision is that of the heart , he that is in Christ is a new creature , born again of water , and not of the spirit , such are partakers of the Ordinance , and are members of the Church , and that which is no Ordinance of Christ is of no use in the Church of God , but is by the children of light denyed . Thy seventh head is , That we say , that the Lords supper is of no use in the Church of God , since the resurrection of Christ . Reply . This is an absolute lie , never spoken or owned by us ; I charge thee to prove it either by our words , or writings , or let shame cover thy lips , lyer for the lake , and own thy condemnation for thy slandring , lying , and false accusing : Thou saith , it was not thy purpose to have writ a treatise of this subject till of late , finding that none answered the book before mentioned . Reply . Thy treatise is lyes and rayling language against the servants of God , but the book is yet unanswered ; thy filthy , silly , lying paper is not taken for an answer to that book ; and of late thou beginnest to vent out thy mischief and thy ignorance , old rotten dul stuff , it is like the evil treasure it proceeded from , and they who reads thy paper , whose understanding is opened , will discern thy ignorance and malice , and deny thy unclean spirit , for among the children of light thy unfruitful works of darkness is denyed and cast out , and thy formed weapon cannot prosper ; but the Lord will wound the head of the wicked , he will bruise thee as with a rod of Iron , and dash thee in pieces like a potters vessel : this is answered , not because it was particularly against me , but for the truths sake , that the lies which he had raised against it , may return upon his own head . I. A. An answer to a Scandalous Paper , Entitu●ed , The quakers unmasked Put sorth by William Prynne , wherein his slanders are made to appear , and he is found with a lye in his mouth . I Meeting with a Paper , Entituled , The quakers unmasked and clearly Detected : Put sorth by VVilliam Prynne , wherein he slanders and falsly accuseth those people scornfully called quakers , and saith they are sent from Rome to seduce the intoxicated , giddy headded English Nation ; his ground being an information ( he saith ) taken upon oath in the City of Bristol , which he sets down , as followeth ; The Information of George Cowlishaw of the City of Bristol aforesaid , Iron-monger , taken the two and twentieth day of Ianuary , 1654. who informeth upon his oath , that in the Month of September last , this Informant had some discourse in Bristol , with one he calls Mr. Coppinger an Irish man , formerly a School-fellow of his , that came thither purposely for his passage into Ireland , who told this Informant that he had lived in Rome and Italy eight or nine years , and had taken upon him the order of a Fryer of the Franciscan Company ; and he told this Informant that he had been at London lately , for some months , and whilest he was there he had been at all the Churches and meetings publike and private that he could hear of , and that none came so neer him as the quakers , and being at a meeting of the quakers , he there met with two of his acquaintance in Rome , the which two persons were of the same Franciscan order and company that were now become chiefe Speakers amongst the quakers ; and he himself had spoken amongst the quakers in London , about thirty times and was wel approved of amongst them ; and this Informant further saith , that the said Coppinger asked him what kinds of Opinions in Religion there was in Bristol , and this Informant told him that there were several opinions and judgements , and not naming any Opinions of the quakers ; the said Coppinger asked him whether there had been any quakers in Bristol ; and the said Informant answered him no ; whereupon the said Coppinger told him ( the said Informant ) two or three times , that if he did love his religion and his soul , he should not hear them , whereupon this informant told him that he thought none of them would come to Bristol , who expresly replyed that if this Informant would give him five pound , he would make it five hundred pounds if some quakers did not come to Bristol within three weeks or a month then following ; and on the morrow following , the said Coppinger departed from this Cifor Ireland , his Native place , and about eighteen dayes after , there came to this City two persons , that bare the name of quakers : This is a true Coppy of the information taken upon oath at Bristol . This Being the ground of that scandalous Paper , put forth by thee VVilliam Prynne , to it I shal answer , and clearly make appear , that these scandalls are false and sul of confusion : First , that they are false , it wil appear two of us ( whom the World reproachfully calls quakers , came from the North ( being moved of the Lord to come to the City of Bristol ) our both and beeing according to the flesh , was in VVestmoreland , not far from Kendal , and there at this present , is our outward habitations and families : we came from thence in the Month called Iune , and we came into the City of Bristoll the 12. day of the month , called Iuly , and on the morrow ( being the 13 ▪ day ) we were at two meetings , the one was with the people called Anabaptists , the other with the people called Independants , and we were moved by the Lord to speak at both their meetings , which we did , and this was the thirteenth day of the month , called Iuly , which was a little before the Fair at Bristol , called Iames-Fat●e , as severall of those people can bear witness . Then further thou saith , it being in September , George Cowlishaw , being asked by the said Coppinger , if there had been none of those people called quakers at Bristol , he answered no : now this is false , some of us ( who is so called ) was then at Bristol , and here I shall take many people to witness against thee , for we had meetings then in Bristol , the tenth day of the month called September , we had a meeting at the Fort , the thirteenth day of the same month , a meeting at the Red-Lodge in Bristol , and at both meetings there were several hundreds of people : and likewise a meeting at F●eltin , the fifteenth day of the same month and the seventeenth day we had a meeting at Bishford , and hundreds went out of the City of Bristol to that meeting : the nineteenth day we had a anomeeting at the Red-Lodge , and several other meetings we had in about Bristol , in the same Month , called September , which wil all bear witness against thee , that thy slander is false , and thy oath false , who saith we were not at Bristol in September , which he hath said on his oath we were not ; and here I have proved thy information false ; again it is ful of confusion , who saith that Coppinger said that none came so neer him as the quakers , and that he met with two in London of his own order , and yet he saith to the informant , if that he loved his religion and his soul , he should not hear them , and yet saith they came near him , and was of his own order , which is false , we deny such lyars , and their order , and here he is proved to be in confusion , let all that can discern judge . Again , the man that took the oath ( as thou sayest ) said that Coppinger was one of the Franciscan company , and had taken upon him the order at Rome or Italy , here the informant hath made himself guilty of , and liable to the Law in such cases , provided , who was privy to him , who said he had taken up that order , and did not discover him ( but let him go ) and then accuseth those that are innocent , which bears the name of quakers . Now here thou art made manifest , to be a false accuser , and a slanderer ; I have proved that we came to the City of Bristol in the month called July , before the fair , and likewise that we were at those meetings before mentioned and several other meetngs we were at , in and about Bristol , in the Month , called September , and this oath before mentioned , being the ground of a warrant given forth by the Magistrates of Bristol , and several of our names therein expressed , we who had been at Bristol , whose names were there mentioned , came all forth of VVestmoreland , near unto Kendal , none of us having never been out of the Nation , but we lived and walked in and at our own habitations , excepting at the time of the wars , when we were in the service of the Commonwealth● and severall of the commanders and magistrates , in that countrey can bear witness to our places , and beings , and here your lyes and slanders are made to appear and utterly denyed ; and VVilliam Prynne , here thou art clearly detected , who slanderest the innocent , living in the spawn thou speaks of , the Poison of asps being under thy tongue , and spuing out thy venome against the harmless , and thy informant is proved to be guilty , in not discovering the man hee speak of , which he hath on his oath said that he confessed to him he had been at Rome , and taken upon him the order of a Fryer of the Franciscan company . Now here let all people take notice of the dealings of the magistrates , who gave out a warrant against the innocent , whom they cannot justly prove any thing against whereof they do accuse them , and yet lets him go free who concealed the said Coppinger , which on his oath declared , that the said Coppinger confessed himself to be one of that order , and we deny all of his Order , who lives in lying and confusion , or any ▪ such to speak amongst us , for we know the voice of Christ from the voice of the stranger , so the devil being the father of lyes , and a lye being thy foundation , thou art taken with a lye in thy mouth , and so ads lye unto lye , and builds one lye upon another ; and then thou cryes against thy own lyes , for thou can prove no such thing by us , as thou accuseth us of , saying that the quakers use inchanted Potion , Bracelets , Ribbands , Sorcery , and witchcrafe , which is false , and thou like the raging Sea casts up thy mire and dirt ; O thou ful of all mischiefe , and enemy to all righteousness , I charge thee , or any of thy companions of the same order , who lives in lying , to prove any such thing by us , and make it appear publikely as thou hast accused us , or let thy mouth be stopped , and own thy condemnation , and confess thy deceipt , and call in thy filthy paper , and take shame to thy self , for know this , that the Lord God wil plead with thee for all thy hard speeches , and justly by him shalt thou be rewarded ; and we utterly deny , and do bear witness against all such filthy waies and practises of all such Frogs as thou mentions , and against thee who prints lyes , as I have already proved , and lyars must be cast into the Lake ; and here I have found thee , and proved thee in the intoxicated , giddy headed condition thou speaks of , who art already deceived , and need be deceived no farther , and thou art fallen into the pit thou digged , and they for whom thy not was spread ( being innocent ) are escaped , and thy folly is unmasked , and thou art clearly betected , and proved to be in error in thy very foundation , and so all thy building is made void , and if thou cannot begin upon better evidence , let thy mouth for ever be stoyyd , and let shame cover thy lips , and repent of the evil of thy wayes , lest the wrath of the Lord break out against thee , and there be no remedy ; to the Light in thy conscience I speak , and remember that thou art warned . Friend , thy Spirit is savoured and tryed , and now this is the end of thy zeal , who art become a persecutor of the life which thou hast professed in words , and now thy zeal appears without the knowledge of God , for the Jesuits , Romish Fryers , and Frogs ( as thou calls them , are in the same nature as thou art in , against that people whom thou scornfully calls quakers ; and so there is many unfavoury speeches in thy Paper , putforth by thee VVilliam Prynne , which ( worth the mentioning ) are not ; but thou hast manifested the end of thy P●o●ession , who appears now to be one of those giddy headded English men thou speaks of : and as touching leading silly women Captive laden with sin , and led away with divers lusts , ever learning , and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth , to thee this home shall return who appears to be in this state , learning alwaies , and silly , for how many years hast thou been learning , and now doest resist the truth with thy unclean Spirit , as Iannes and Iambers did the Children of Israel , which was comming out of Egypt , with their corrupt Spirits , so with what Measure thou measurest , it shall be measured to thee again , good weight , running over , pressed down : and friend , in the day of thy calamity , remember whom thou hast despised in the day of thy prosperity , and what thou hast rejected with thy ful Stomack , and now loathes the Honny-Comb , and the precious , and the vile chus●th , and so one with the Harlot art become , the light doth thee comprehend ; thou saist there was trembling or quaking in the hoast in the field , & among all the people , the garrisons and the spoylers , they also trembled , so it was a very great trembling , or quaking : this for thy selfe shal stand , when thou thy self canst read a spoyler , and see thy self in the field , the strong man that must bow himself , and thy fenced Cities must be broken down , and thy Garr●son , with all thy carnall weopons , then the hoast shal thee fail , and then trembling and quaking wil not be despised , which stands with a put ful compassion to all souls , and quaking and trembling doth not despise , for thou unmasked thy self in this paper hast , to be a scorner and scoffer at Gods righteous seed , which he upholds with his arm , for which thou shalt give an account ▪ to the light in thy conscience , which changes not , is it spoken . And whereas thou , William Prynne , saith that Coppinger confessed that he spake about thirty times at London , among them called quakers ; it is false ▪ he did not speak amongst us who are so called , but them that have spoken amongst us , their names we know , and so we ( whose names are subscribed ) bear witness against that untruth thou hast published in print , Amors Toddert , Simon Dring , John Bolton ; William Creake , Gervase Roberts , Henry Clerke , Robert Dring ; William Kaymond , Richard Davies , William West . A Reply to an Additional Paper , put forth by William Prynne , in his Lying Enlarged Edition . FRiend , thou pretending a reply to that which is before printed , in a paper put forth by thee , bearing the same title , which thou saith is the second Edition , enlarged ; to thee I shal reply , that the things which I proved stands good , and not detected by thee , but thou art clearly detected ; and proved to make a lye thy foundation , and now in thy lying enlarged Edition , thou hast gathered up more lyes ; & sent them abroad into the world , & ful of venome thou art , spawned from the Serpent , crawling in the mire like the frogs thou peaks of , casting up thy filth , and foming like the Sea , and when thou hast gathered up a heap of lyes together , thou wouldst cast them upon the children of light , wwo in scorn are called quakers , who denyes thee among the rest of the Roman● vermine , & giddy-headded , brain-sick generation , and were thou not blinde thou would not utter forth such confusion , Babylon is thy habitation , the destruction of thy City is ha tningapace , Misery and lamentation from the Lord God , is comming upon you , the burthensome stone wil grind you to pieces . Thou saith the chiefe exception is against Cowlishaw , his Oath is untrue , for , sayest thou , though we were in Bristol , and went to two meetings , yet that was unknown to Cowlishaw . Reply . Here thou hast confessed that the oath is untrue , in that he sware the thing he knew not , which thing proves contrary to what he sware , and and this again p●oves thy foundation false , who faith we had not been at Bristol , and sware the thing he knew not , as is before expressed . Thou sayest , we spoke to those people then , not under the notion of quakers , but onely of Anabaptists , and Independants . Reply . This is false , lye to lye thou ads , take them away , and thy refuge is gone , we did not speak to them as Anaba●tists , or as Independants , and this many of the people wil witness for us , and against thee , and there was several in that City that knew us to be of those people that were called quakers , which proves another lye upon thee . Thou saist , when the meetings was in September , we began to take upon us the name and title of quakers , and that those meetings was after Cowlishaws conference with Coppinger , who adds that about eighteen dayes after . Reply . Thy covering is too narrow , by the Light thou art discovered , for the information faith it was in September , and then were we in Bristol , and the words about eighteen dayes after , which 〈◊〉 proves the th●ng false , we being at Bristol then at those publike meetings before mentioned , and that we began to take upon us the title of quakers then is false ; and with such filthy stuff thou makes up thy enlarged Edition . Thou saith this convinceth Audland of a slander , and doube ly : First , in accusing Cowl●shaw for making a false oath , which his own answer to it justifieth it to be true . Reply . This is a double ly , for plainness of speech I use , and gives a lye the name of a lye : first , I am not convinced that he is slandered , for the oath is proved to be false , in affirming that which he knew not , and that which was not ; and that the answer justifies it to be true , is false again , for the Answer proves it absolutely untrue . S●condly , thou saith in averring , that he ( and his Companions ) were moved by the Lord , and his eternal Spirit , to leave their own Habitations and Callings in the North , to come to seduce the People of Bristol . Reply . Let shame cover thy lips ( if thy heart be not hardned ) thou wilt blush , are these my words , or thy own ? I charge thee to be a slanderer , and a false accuser of the Brethren , these words was never uttered by me , all seducers and seducing by the Spirit of God is denyed , and witnessed against , and thou art witnessed against by the Spirit of God , that thou art ful of venome , froth , and filth , which is not worth raking up after thee ; thy Heart is overcome with it , let it return into the Pit from whence it came , where the Frogs lodges , who are thy companions . Again , that which is spoken , as touching the breach of the Law in not discovering Coppinger , but concealing him , and letting him depart , is true according to the Law and thy evading it , by seeming to cover it , by Coppingers hasty departure , and the suspension of the Lawes , thou saith , to that purpose , doth no whit prove the contrary , and had not your envy transported you beyond the bounds of equity , you would be ashamed to publish such a thing , but it 's clearly seen whom you shout at , and whom you would devour , though you pretend the Jusuits , they are so near of kin to you , you can let them go , and after conference with them ( as thou saith Cowlishaw had with Coppinger ) who confess themselves to be such , thou concealest them , and bring in their words to slander the innocent , and truth ever suffered under reproachful names and tongues , in which thou hast not a little share , thou fils up thy measure , and accordingly shal thou be rewarded . Thou saith , I except against thee for averring that the quakers are but the spawn of Romish frogs , Jesuits , and Franciscan Fryers , and to deny this is alledged that they came out of the North , and thou saith to come out of the North is a shrew'd signe of their badness , for the Scriptures speaks , that out of the North an evil shall break forth . Reply . To prove that we came out of the Nort , and had never been out of Nation , and of our birth and habitations , doth sufficiently confute thee , who made that thy ground to have proved by the information , that we were Coppingers acquaintance in Rome , for saist thou , those two persons which came to Bristol , was most likely his two fellow Franciscan Fryers , and here thy likeness is another lye , and the Scripture doth not prove thy shrew'd signe , neither doth it cover thee , nor hide thee , but upon thee will evill break forth , who the evil hast committed , a grievour storm and whitlwind will fall upon the wicked , and sweep away the refuge of lyes and lyars into the Lake , read thy portion ▪ and put it not from thee . Secondly , Thou saith for affirming that the quakers use inchanted potions , Bracelets , Ribban●s ▪ Sorcery , and witchcraft to intoxicate their disciples ; and thou saist , this is evidenced in the Pr●mises , and apparent in most places where they ramble , and thou shalt prove it no farther , but close up all with two Scripture exhortations . Reply . I demanded of thee before to prove any such thing by us , or let thy mouth be stopt , and as touching proving any such thing , thy mouth is stopt , and thy premises proves it not by us , but is made up of lyes and slanders , and false reports , which thou hast gathered where thou hast rambled up and down in thy imaginations , sending out a pack of filthy lyes , spawned out from the old Serpent the Devil , and Satan , out of whose mouth proceeds the frogs and there may thou read thy selfe apparently , his disciple intoxicated , and thee with all the rest of the spawn of Romish Frogs , Jesuites , and Franciscan Fryers is denyed , and cast out from amongst the people of God , scorn-called quakers , and if thou can prove no better then to close up as thou doth , the lyes wil rest upon thy own head ; but wilt thou turn back a little , and take one exhortation where thou art giving two , if there be any spark of honesty in thee , or any remembrance of thy latter end , or any consideration that lyars must be cast into the Lake , repent of the evil of thy doings , and cease lying and slandering the innocent , which thou canst not prove to be offenders , and lay thy mouth in the dust , if so be there may be hope ▪ so here in plainness thy lyes is turned upon thy own head , and the former answer is just , and stands a witness against thee , and thou art more unmasked , and clearly detected , and til thou can begin upon better evidence , silence best becomes thee : Remember again thou art warned , cease thy gainsaying , lest ton perish in thy rebellion , and go down alive into the Pit.
