George
Fox
being
on
his
Journey
with
Edward
Pyot
of
Bristoll
,
nnd
William
Salt
of
London
,
from
the
farthermost
parts
of
Cornwall
towards
Bristoll
,
was
moved
of
the
Lord
in
bowels
of
compassion
to
the
Ignorant
in
those
dark
corners
of
the
Nation
,
to
give
forth
a
paper
for
the
directing
their
minds
to
the
way
of
salvation
,
and
the
stirring
of
them
up
to
prize
their
time
,
and
the
day
of
their
visitation
,
a
true
Copy
whereof
is
as
followeth
.
THe
migthy
day
of
the
Lord
is
come
,
and
coming
.
that
all
hearts
shal
be
made
manifest
,
the
secrets
of
every
ones
heart
shal
be
revealed
with
the
light
of
Jesus
;
which
comes
from
Jesus
Christ
who
lighteth
every
man
that
cometh
into
the
world
,
Who
saith
learn
of
me
;
This
is
my
welbeloved
Son
,
hear
you
him
saith
God
,
that
lighteth
every
man
that
cometh
into
the
world
,
that
all
men
through
him
might
believe
,
the
world
through
him
might
have
life
:
And
Christ
is
come
to
teach
himself
the
second
Priesthood
;
and
every
one
that
will
not
hear
this
Prophet
,
which
God
hath
raised
up
,
which
Moses
spake
of
and
said
,
Like
unto
me
will
God
raise
you
up
a
Prophet
,
him
shall
you
hear
:
every
one
that
doth
not
hear
this
Prophet
is
to
be
cut
off
;
They
that
despised
Moses
Law
died
under
the
hands
of
two
or
three
witnesses
,
but
how
much
greater
punishment
shall
come
upon
them
,
that
shall
neglect
this
great
salvation
Christ
Jesus
,
who
saith
,
Learn
of
me
,
I
am
the
way
,
the
truth
,
and
the
life
,
who
lighteth
every
man
that
cometh
into
the
world
,
which
light
lets
him
see
his
evill
wayes
,
his
evill
deeds
that
he
hath
done
,
but
if
he
hate
that
light
,
and
goes
on
in
the
evill
,
this
will
be
the
condemnation
,
the
light
saith
Christ
;
Therefore
now
you
have
time
,
prize
it
,
this
is
the
day
of
your
visitation
,
and
salvation
proffered
to
you
,
every
one
of
you
having
a
light
which
lets
you
see
you
should
not
lye
,
nor
do
wrong
,
nor
take
Gods
name
in
vain
,
nor
steale
,
this
is
the
light
that
shews
you
these
evill
deeds
,
which
if
you
love
it
,
it
will
lead
you
to
Christ
,
who
is
the
way
to
the
Father
,
from
whence
it
comes
,
where
no
unrighteousness
enters
,
nor
unholiness
;
but
if
you
do
this
light
hate
,
this
wil
be
your
condemnation
,
the
light
saith
Christ
,
If
you
doe
it
love
,
and
to
it
come
,
you
will
come
to
Christ
,
which
will
bring
you
off
all
the
worlds
teachers
,
and
wayes
,
and
Doctrines
,
to
Christ
who
is
the
way
to
the
Father
,
from
the
world
and
all
the
deceivers
in
it
.
Which
paper
as
they
journyed
through
the
Parish
of
Madderne
near
St
Ives
?
was
delivered
to
a
man
whom
they
met
(
altogether
,
then
,
unknown
to
them
,
but
since
understood
to
be
by
name
John
Keate
)
to
be
communicated
to
the
people
,
but
he
instead
thereof
hastned
and
carried
it
to
Peter
Ceely
Justice
of
the
Peace
,
so
called
at
St.
Ives
,
who
gave
him
order
to
get
together
a
party
of
new
raised
Horse
,
of
which
the
said
Peter
Ceely
was
Captain
,
and
to
follow
after
,
and
apprehend
them
.
But
they
being
come
into
the
town
of
Saint
Jves
,
before
those
Horse
were
gotten
ready
,
as
they
were
riding
thorough
it
,
the
said
Keate
being
there
,
stopt
them
in
their
way
,
and
apprehended
them
,
and
seized
on
their
Horses
,
and
Portmantue
,
which
he
violently
took
away
,
and
brought
them
to
the
said
Peter
Ceely
,
at
his
House
in
the
town
aforesaid
,
Where
a
great
company
of
people
were
gathered
,
And
with
them
one
Welstead
the
Priest
of
that
town
,
before
whom
P.
Ceely
made
sport
of
them
,
as
if
he
had
gotten
a
prey
,
and
with
reviling
speeches
abused
them
,
and
cursed
;
Whereupon
they
told
him
,
he
was
to
do
the
things
that
were
just
,
and
neither
to
revile
,
nor
curse
.
And
of
them
he
demanded
whether
they
would
own
the
paper
aforesaid
or
not
?
To
which
answer
being
made
they
should
deny
the
Scriptures
,
if
they
should
not
own
it
:
A
heinous
crime
he
made
of
it
,
calling
it
a
sinfull
,
wicked
Paper
,
and
fell
to
riffl●ng
of
their
Pockets
for
more
,
and
what
he
found
he
took
away
,
and
detained
,
and
yet
keeps
from
them
divers
serviceable
notes
for
the
instructing
the
minds
of
the
simple
,
and
their
Books
also
;
and
examine
he
did
them
apart
,
and
tendred
them
the
Oath
of
Abjuration
,
To
which
they
answered
,
that
O.
P.
had
said
that
oath
was
not
intended
for
them
;
That
they
did
in
the
command
of
Iesus
Christ
abide
,
who
said
swear
not
at
all
;
and
that
all
Popery
and
Popish
points
they
denied
,
as
they
had
declared
to
the
whole
N●tion
in
a
Book
,
which
they
gave
him
;
And
a
pass
he
demanded
of
Ed.
Pyot
,
for
traveling
,
pretending
him
to
be
a
person
unknown
,
when
as
one
or
two
of
that
town
then
informed
him
,
that
they
knew
him
to
be
a
Merchant
of
Bristoll
,
and
that
Bristoll
was
the
place
of
his
habitation
,
and
thither
they
were
all
travelling
:
Then
he
asked
Ed.
Pyot
for
sureties
for
the
goo●
behaviour
.
He
desired
that
a
Law
might
be
shewn
him
that
he
had
transgressed
,
and
he
would
find
sureties
;
but
no
Law
could
he
produce
,
but
instead
of
Law
,
he
gave
them
many
reproachfull
,
and
unsavory
expressions
;
And
the
Priest
aforesaid
called
Ed.
Pyot
Jesuit
.
because
he
used
spectacles
,
and
a
wanderer
,
because
to
them
he
m●de
not
his
estate
to
appear
;
Notwithstanding
the
testimony
of
some
of
their
own
town
,
who
knew
him
,
as
hath
been
men●ioned
;
and
that
he
tendred
P.
Ceely
,
to
buy
a
thousand
pounds
worth
of
goods
of
him
,
or
to
sell
him
a
thousand
pounds
worth
,
and
also
had
declared
how
he
had
been
in
Armes
for
the
Laws
of
the
Nation
,
and
for
Liberty
,
and
in
command
for
the
Parliament
,
(
They
all
having
been
constant
faithfull
friends
to
the
Common-wealth
,
and
in
armes
for
it
.
)
Nevertheless
,
without
any
just
ground
,
colour
,
or
pretence
in
Law
,
Justice
,
or
Equitie
,
or
occasion
given
on
their
parts
(
for
no
other
thing
was
done
,
than
giving
forth
the
paper
aforesaid
,
at
the
moving
of
the
Lord
,
as
hath
been
declared
,
which
is
left
of
God
in
every
mans
conscience
to
judge
,
whether
it
is
any
just
matter
of
offence
,
or
cause
of
exception
,
or
ground
of
suffering
at
all
,
much
less
of
so
cruell
sufferings
,
and
unreasonable
proceedings
had
against
them
,
as
is
hereafter
expressed
)
contrary
to
Law
,
and
the
Government
,
and
all
that
is
equall
,
and
Just
,
or
of
good
report
,
after
they
had
been
stopped
on
their
way
,
their
Horses
violently
taken
from
them
,
their
Portmantue
,
and
Pockets
rifled
,
and
searcht
;
and
their
Papers
and
Books
therein
seized
on
,
and
detained
;
after
they
had
been
scoffed
,
and
reviled
,
and
reproached
,
and
made
sport
of
before
the
Priest
,
and
the
people
,
and
cursed
,
and
evill
intreated
by
P.
Ceely
,
were
they
committed
by
him
to
Lanceston
Gaol
,
and
sent
in
custody
with
a
guard
of
Horse
,
first
to
Pendennis
Castle
,
to
Captain
Fox
,
with
their
Books
,
and
Papers
,
leaving
it
to
him
,
to
detain
or
discharge
them
as
he
should
see
cause
;
but
he
not
being
there
,
after
that
one
of
the
Prisoner
was
violently
ran
upon
,
and
struck
down
in
the
Room
,
by
on
Smithwick
a
Kinsman
of
Keates
,
to
whom
was
not
given
the
least
provocation
,
and
(
whose
violence
the
said
Keate
being
demanded
,
said
,
he
would
justifie
)
were
they
carried
towards
Lanceston
by
the
said
Keate
,
and
guard
,
of
which
he
had
the
charge
,
who
abused
them
very
much
on
the
way
himself
,
and
permitted
others
unhumanely
so
to
do
,
and
brought
them
into
a
Room
on
the
way
,
where
was
another
of
his
acquaintance
,
a
desperate
fellow
standing
with
a
naked
Rapier
;
unto
which
Gaol
as
they
were
passing
,
they
met
with
Generall
Desborow
,
who
being
acquainted
with
their
condition
,
and
the
cause
thereof
,
sent
them
notice
by
a
Lieutenant
,
That
if
they
would
give
under
their
hand
,
or
promise
that
they
would
go
unto
their
own
homes
,
and
there
live
soberly
,
and
quietly
,
they
might
have
their
enlargement
;
but
they
returning
in
answer
that
they
were
passing
on
towards
Bristol
,
until
they
were
molested
,
and
stopt
in
their
journey
by
P.
Ceely
,
and
that
quietly
,
and
soberly
they
had
lived
,
and
behaved
themselves
;
and
that
their
time
was
not
in
their
own
hand
,
but
they
stood
in
the
will
of
the
Lord
,
and
should
do
as
he
permitted
;
He
departed
out
of
the
Countrie
,
leaving
them
in
custody
,
instead
of
doing
them
Justice
,
and
they
choosing
a
prison
,
with
the
freedome
,
answer
,
and
excercise
of
a
good
conscience
,
rather
then
libertie
on
such
unreasonable
conditions
,
as
the
(
a
)
ravishing
of
their
Innocencie
;
the
unmanning
of
themselves
;
and
the
betraying
,
and
destroying
of
their
undeniable
liberties
,
the
price
of

much
blood

Sealed
P.
CEELY
.
BY
what
hath
been
already
rehearsed
is
manifest
,
what
unlawfull
,
and
Injurious
dealing
they
received
from
P.
Ceely
,
and
how
evilly
he
intreated
them
,
and
how
his
carriage
towards
them
,
was
rather
like
unto
one
of
the
profane
,
and
light
fellows
,
the
Sons
of
Beliall
,
who
are
a
shame
unto
a
Nation
(
scorning
,
sporting
,
reviling
,
and
cursing
)
upon
which
the
Sword
of
the
Magistrate
of
God
is
to
pass
,
as
evill
doing
,
then
a
Justice
,
for
no
other
cause
,
given
on
their
parts
,
than
for
giving
out
a
paper
,
to
direct
the
minds
of
the
poor
ignorant
people
,
to
the
way
of
eternall
life
according
to
the
Scriptures
of
truth
,
and
against
wickedness
,
as
hath
been
mentioned
.
In
which
they
ought
,
to
have
been
by
him
protected
,
It
being
a
true
Profession
of
Faith
in
God
by
Jesus
Christ
,
O.
P.
in
his
Speech
to
the
Parliament
12th
.
the
7th
.
month
1654.
calls
a
Fundamentall
,
one
of
the
four
Fundamentalls
of
his
Government
,
which
he
set
up
as
the
Issue
of
the
late
Wars
,
P.
Ceely
(
as
it
appears
)
it
is
a
thing
of
no
such
value
,
nor
the
true
holding
forth
of
Jesus
Christ
,
the
light
of
the
world
,
the
light
,
and
life
of
men
,
to
be
the
onely
way
to
salvation
,
according
to
the
Scriptures
:
but
sinfull
,
and
wicked
,
And
therefore
he
misuseth
the
powers
he
lately
hath
received
under
this
Government
,
of
being
in
Commission
as
a
Justice
,
and
a
Captain
of
a
Troop
of
the
new
raised
Horse
,
If
to
trample
under
foot
,
pers●cute
,
and
overthrow
,
by
abusing
,
and
imprisoning
those
aforementioned
,
as
hath
been
said
,
for
going
about
doing
good
,
and
directing
the
people
the
way
to
salvation
,
casting
thereby
the
greatest
reproach
,
in
that
kinde
,
that
may
be
on
the
Government
that
enjoyns
,
and
on
the
Erector
,
and
chief
Ruler
thereof
;
who
declares
the
contrary
,
as
hath
been
expressed
:
thus
acting
contrary
to
Law
on
them
,
whom
if
he
had
acted
according
to
Law
,
he
ought
to
have
protected
.
And
how
brazened
he
is
in
his
Iniquitie
,
will
be
further
evident
,
when
his
Warrant
aforesaid
,
being
taken
in
pieces
,
i●
measured
with
the
Rule
of
Law
,
and
weighed
in
the
ballance
of
truth
,
and
Justice
.
1.
For
first
,
whereas
he
chargeth
them
in
the
front
,
who
go
under
the
notion
of
Quakers
,
and
acknowledge
themselves
to
be
such
;
The
end
of
the
Law
is
to
preserve
the
Peace
,
and
the
Unitie
;
and
the
end
of
the
Administration
thereof
is
,
to
bring
out
of
the
division
into
the
unitie
,
and
out
of
the
strife
into
the
Peace
;
Now
that
which
divides
as
he
,
whether
he
be
Souldier
,
Judge
,
or
Justice
,
or
what
ever
he
be
doth
,
which
distinguisheth
a
Generation
of
men
,
under
one
and
the
same
Government
,
from
the
rest
,
and
puts
upon
them
a
hatefull
name
of
distinction
,
and
tearm
of
reproach
,
whereby
they
,
and
others
are
set
in
opposition
)
breaks
the
Peace
,
and
destroyes
the
unity
,
sets
a
family
at
variance
(
and
a
Nation
is
a
family
)
overthrows
the
end
of
the
Law
,
and
makes
void
the
Righteous
Administration
thereof
,
and
into
Wars
leads
,
and
Contentions
,
and
every
evill
work
,
as
this
Nation
of
late
years
hath
sadly
witnessed
:
(
for
from
this
very
distinguishing
of
men
,
and
branding
them
with
tearms
of
reproach
,
was
the
fire
kindled
,
and
the
flames
of
the
late
Wars
brought
forth
,
and
nourished
,
Whereby
these
three
Nations
being
one
against
another
)
and
the
very
being
of
them
were
likely
to
have
been
overthrown
,
rased
out
,
and
consumed
.
)
And
such
an
one
is
an
evill
doer
,
in
a
high
degree
,
to
whom
the
Sword
of
the
Magistrate
of
God
,
which
punisheth
,
and
cuts
off
that
which
transgresseth
,
and
so
brings
out
of
the
division
into
the
unity
,
and
out
of
the
Wars
,
and
strife
,
into
the
Peace
,
is
a
terror
,
and
on
whom
it
is
to
pass
;
But
P.
Ceely
,
who
calls
himself
one
of
the
Justices
of
the
Peace
of
the
County
of
Cornwall
,
by
distinguishing
a
Generation
of
people
in
this
Nation
who
fear
,
and
dread
,
and
tremble
,
before
the
Lord
,
and
the
words
of
his
holiness
(
as
did
the
holy
men
of
God
from
the
begining
and
record
in
the
Scripture
)
from
the
rest
of
the
people
of
●his
N●tion
and
putting
upon
them
a
hatefull
Tearm
of
distinction
,
and
brand
of
Reproach
,
whereby
they
are
marked
out
,
and
set
in
opposition
,
and
appointed
to
all
manner
of
abuses
,
scornings
,
and
sufferings
,
(
as
is
experienced
in
all
parts
every
where
throughout
the
Nation
where
any
such
are
)
with
such
barbarousness
and
cruelty
,
as
exceeds
the
fiercest
,
and
most
inhumane
persecutions
of
the
latter
ages
.
)
And
himself
under
his
hand
and
Seale
,
branding
them
therewith
,
in
the
head
of
his
Warrant
,
as
a
people
,
because
distinguished
by
him
,
and
reproached
with
such
a
name
,
fit
onely
to
be
destroyed
,
and
endeavouring
their
destruction
,
so
far
as
a
long
imprisonment
,
and
the
cruelties
thereof
,
which
they
have
lately
felt
,
almost
to
the
loss
of
one
of
their
lives
,
hereafter
to
be
mentioned
,
(
as
have
many
of
those
innocent
people
of
the
Lord
,
in
other
parts
,
from
this
Generation
,
whose
lives
they
have
had
in
the
prisons
,
which
cry
aloud
for
vengeance
,
in
the
ears
of
the
Lord
of
Saboath
,
for
that
they
go
under
the
hated
name
,
and
scorned
tearm
of
Quakers
)
hath
manifested
himself
to
be
a
br●aker
of
the
peace
,
a
destroyer
of
●he
unity
,
a
setter
of
the
whole
family
of
a
Nation
at
variance
,
an
overthrower
of
the
end
of
the
Law
;
one
that
makes
void
the
righteous
Administration
thereof
,
a
leader
into
wars
and
contentions
,
and
every
evil
work
,
and
a
minister
of
unrighteousness
and
iniquity
;
on
whom
the
sword
of
the
righteous
judgement
of
God
will
pass
to
the
cutting
of
him
off
,
and
dividing
him
his
portion
with
hypocrites
,
and
sinners
(
and
of
this
let
him
consider
,
for
one
day
whether
he
will
or
no
,
so
he
shall
find
it
,
except
he
repent
.
)
And
whereas
he
saith
,
who
acknowledge
themselves
to
be
such
,
to
fear
,
and
dread
,
and
tremble
,
and
quake
at
the
presence
of
the
living
God
,
who
maketh
the
earth
to
shake
,
and
the
Pillars
thereof
to
tremble
,
as
did
Isaak
,
and
Moses
,
and
Jeremy
,
and
Ezekiel
,
and
Daniel
,
and
Habbacuck
,
and
Paul
,
and
the
Church
of
Corinth
,
and
the
Saints
of
the
most
high
in
all
ages
who
knew
his
presence
,
this
they
own
,
as
do
all
the
children
of
light
,
and
acknowledge
themselves
to
be
of
the
Generation
of
those
who
seek
the
face
,
and
thus
witness
the
presence
of
the
Holy
one
of
Israel
;
But
as
he
hath
placed
it
in
contempt
,
and
scorne
,
and
as
a
hatefull
brand
,
and
heinous
offence
,
by
which
they
are
appointed
to
all
manner
of
sufferings
,
that
they
deny
,
and
the
acknowledging
themselves
to
be
such
,
or
that
they
ever
acknowledged
themselves
,
or
any
others
to
be
such
,
as
they
do
deny
him
,
and
this
his
Lie
,
and
the
Generation
of
him
,
who
is
a
lyar
from
the
beginning
,
he
knows
who
it
is
.
Whereas
he
chargeth
them
,
Who
have
spread
several
papers
tending
to
the
disturbance
of
the
publick
peace
:
No
papers
did
they
spread
tending
to
the
disturbance
of
the
publick
peace
;
the
paper
which
G.
F.
gave
forth
,
for
which
cause
he
apprehended
,
abused
,
and
imprisoned
them
,
is
already
rehearsed
,
and
let
the
sober
,
judge
,
whether
that
be
the
matter
of
disturbing
the
publick
,
or
any
mans
peace
,
But
the
man
of
Sin
,
the
son
of
Perdition
,
whose
kingdom
Christ
Jesus
is
come
,
and
coming
to
destroy
,
and
his
peace
to
break
,
and
his
Armour
to
take
from
him
,
and
of
his
goods
him
to
spoile
,
against
whom
his
war
is
proclaimed
,
and
his
sword
drawn
,
and
brought
upon
the
earth
,
to
set
a
man
at
variance
against
his
father
,
and
the
daughter
against
her
mother
,
and
the
daughter
in
law
against
the
mother
in
law
,
and
a
mans
foes
shall
be
them
of
his
own
houshould
?
And
this
war
brings
peace
to
the
Israel
of
God
;
And
let
such
judge
whether
P.
Ceely
makes
not
himfelf
to
appear
to
be
in
the
possession
of
that
strong
man
armed
,
whose
peace
he
would
not
have
disturbed
:
Who
chargeth
the
declaring
of
Jesus
Christ
,
the
stronger
than
he
to
be
Lord
and
King
,
and
the
only
way
to
salvation
,
to
be
tending
to
the
disturbance
of
the
publick
peace
,
contrary
to
what
the
Government
,
Act.
37.
and
O.
P.
the
chief
Ruler
thereof
hath
declared
as
aforesaid
?
And
as
for
the
several
papers
tending
to
the
disturbance
of
the
publick
peace
,
spread
by
them
,
he
hath
not
to
this
day
made
any
such
to
appear
,
which
if
he
could
,
no
doubt
they
had
not
been
to
be
produced
,
or
made
use
of
at
this
time
;
nor
indeed
,
have
any
such
been
by
them
dispersed
.
And
so
this
his
Charge
is
a
lie
,
from
the
father
of
lies
,
whose
peace
only
was
disturbed
,
and
in
whose
behalf
P.
Ceely
chargeth
.
The
declaring
of
the
mighty
day
of
the
Lord
to
be
come
and
coming
,
wherein
all
hearts
shall
be
made
manifest
,
the
secrets
of
every
mans
heart
shall
be
revealed
,
with
the
light
of
Jesus
,
which
comes
from
Jesus
Christ
,
who
lighteth
every
man
that
cometh
into
the
world
,
who
saith
,
Learn
of
me
,
This
is
my
well
beloved
Son
,
hear
ye
him
,
saith
God
,
that
lighteth
every
man
that
cometh
into
the
world
,
that
all
men
through
him
might
believe
,
the
world
through
him
might
have
life
,
and
Christ
is
come
to
teach
him self
,
the
second
Priesthood
,
and
every
one
that
will
not
hear
this
Prophet
that
God
hath
raised
up
which
Moses
spoke
of
,
and
said
,
like
unto
me
will
God
raise
up
a
Prophet
,
him
shall
you
hear
,
Every
one
that
doth
not
hear
this
Prophet
is
to
be
cut
off
,
They
that
despised
Moses
Law
died
under
the
hands
of
two
or
three
witnesse●
,
but
how
much
greater
punishment
will
come
upon
them
that
shall
neglect
this
great
salvation
Christ
Jesus
,
who
saith
,
Learn
of
me
,
I
am
the
way
,
the
truth
,
and
the
life
,
who
lighteth
every
man
that
cometh
into
the
world
,
which
light
lets
him
see
his
evill
wayes
,
his
evill
deeds
,
which
he
hath
done
,
but
if
he
hate
the
light
,
and
go
on
in
the
evill
,
this
will
be
the
condemnation
,
the
light
saith
Christ
,
with
what
else
is
contained
in
the
paper
aforesaid
concerning
Christ
Jesus
the
way
to
the
Father
,
and
peoples
being
called
upon
to
prize
their
time
,
and
that
day
of
their
Visitation
,
in
the
words
,
and
according
to
the
Scriptures
of
Truth
,
to
be
tending
to
the
disturbance
of
the
publick
Peace
,
who
will
assuredly
be
payd
his
wages
,
as
his
reward
he
shall
also
receive
for
affirming
the
paper
containing
the
things
before
rehearsed
to
be
sinfull
and
wicked
,
than
which
what
higher
blasphemie
is
there
,
greater
abhomination
,
or
more
horrible
wickedness
?
3.
Whereas
he
chargeth
them
with
not
being
able
to
render
any
lawfull
cause
of
coming
to
those
parts
.
It
is
answered
,
For
an
English
man
to
travaile
,
or
be
in
any
part
of
England
,
or
the
Dominions
thereunto
appertaining
,
which
is
his
Country
and
his
habitation
,
is
his
right
as
a
free-born
English
man
,
his
naturall
Right
,
his
birth-Right
,
as
essentiall
to
him
as
his
being
,
and
it
is
as
lawfull
as
for
him
to
be
,
and
travell
in
those
parts
of
it
,
where
he
was
borne
,
or
usually
hath
resided
,
and
so
to
be
without
any
consideration
of
declaring
of
what
is
his
business
(
unless
in
the
cases
provided
by
the
Law
)
viz.
to
hues
,
and
cryes
,
fellonies
,
gamings
,
begging
,
freeing
the
Parish
from
charge
,
with
such
like
)
is
his
liberty
,
and
to
abridge
him
hereof
,
is
to
abridge
him
of
his
liberty
and
right
,
unto
which
the
Law
is
a
defence
,
and
Guard
,
and
which
for
to
preserve
,
cost
the
blood
and
miseries
of
the
late
Wars
,
in
which
the
Lord
so
much
appeared
,
and
is
as
unreasonable
,
and
unnaturall
as
to
deny
him
ayr
to
breath
in
;
And
many
cases
there
are
as
the
causes
of
a
mans
travelling
,
and
changing
his
habitation
lawfull
and
good
,
which
if
a
man
should
declare
might
be
his
undoing
,
as
it
would
be
cruelty
to
exact
it
:
Nor
doth
the
Law
set
down
affirmatively
what
is
a
lawfull
cause
for
a
man
to
travell
,
or
be
in
any
part
of
these
Dominions
,
but
understands
this
whole
Dominion
to
be
every
English
mans
Countrie
,
his
habitation
,
wherein
he
may
lawfully
be
,
and
unaccountable
,
unless
he
by
due
information
by
two
sufficient
witnesses
is
charged
with
any
thing
done
by
him
that
is
contrary
thereunto
:
And
here
as
he
hath
shewn
his
ignorance
of
the
Law
,
which
to
execute
he
is
sworn
,
in
making
that
a
crime
worthy
of
Bonds
,
which
the
Law
takes
no
notice
of
,
but
is
contrary
thereunto
,
as
hath
been
demonstrated
,
so
this
his
charge
is
a
lye
,
for
he
was
told
,
they
were
there
to
visit
the
People
of
the
Lord
,
and
to
do
good
,
which
the
Lord
required
of
them
,
and
the
Government
allows
,
and
saith
,
that
such
shal
be
protected
and
defended
.
4.
And
whereas
he
saith
,
being
persons
altogether
unknown
,
and
having
no
pass
for
their
travelling
up
,
and
down
the
Countrie
,
Persons
altogether
unknown
they
were
not
;
for
as
it
hath
been
already
said
,
one
or
two
of
the
Town
came
into
his
house
,
and
declared
that
they
knew
Ed.
Pyot
to
be
a
Merchant
of
Bristoll
,
and
that
there
was
his
dwelling
,
and
of
none
of
them
,
But
of
Edward
Pyot
did
he
demand
a
pass
;
So
this
that
he
affirms
is
another
lye
:
nor
doth
the
Law
require
those
who
travell
up
and
down
the
Countrie
upon
their
occasions
to
have
passes
,
And
hereof
the
Law
he
again
manifests
his
ignorance
.
5.
Whereas
he
chargeth
them
with
refusing
to
give
sureties
of
the
good
behaviour
according
to
the
Law
in
that
behalf
provided
;
Of
the
good
behaviour
they
are
according
to
the
Law
of
an
endless
life
,
Nor
any
behaviour
that
is
contrary
to
the
Law
of
the
Land
did
they
manifest
,
whereby
they
ought
to
give
sureties
of
the
good
behaviour
according
(
as
he
saith
)
to
the
Law
in
that
behalf
provided
,
For
but
of
one
of
them
(
viz.
)
of
Edw.
Pyot
,
who
was
known
to
some
of
the
town
present
,
did
he
demand
sureties
,
Who
answered
,
shew
me
a
Law
,
that
I
have
transgressed
,
and
I
will
find
sureties
,
which
not
being
produced
,
he
could
not
be
charged
with
refusing
to
give
sureties
of
the
good
behaviour
according
to
the
Law
in
that
behalf
provided
,
nor
could
he
do
so
without
wronging
his
Innocencie
,
and
making
himself
an
offender
.
And
they
who
were
not
asked
to
find
sureties
at
all
(
as
were
not
the
other
two
)
cannot
be
said
to
refuse
so
to
do
;
And
so
a
lye
in
every
particular
is
this
his
Allegation
in
this
Warrant
;
as
his
Ignorance
of
the
Law
is
also
apparant
;
for
had
they
indeed
misbehaved
themselves
,
contrary
to
the
Law
,
which
provided
in
that
behalf
,
sureties
to
be
given
,
or
Imprisonment
,
The
Warrant
of
a
single
Justice
is
not
sufficient
in
the
Law
whereby
to
imprison
them
,
unless
the
misbehaviour
had
been
particularly
mentioned
therein
,
as
is
known
to
them
who
understand
the
Law
of
this
Nation
;
And
because
the
impudencie
of
this
man
,
who
when
he
had
molested
,
injured
,
and
abused
them
,
and
towards
them
had
so
misbehaved
himself
,
contrary
to
the
L●w
,
and
all
that
is
of
good
report
amongst
men
,
as
hath
been
expressed
,
yet
doth
he
not
blush
to
send
them
to
Prison
with
a
Warrant
,
charging
them
with
such
a
manifest
lye
,
as
their
refusing
to
find
sureties
for
the
good
behaviour
according
to
the
Law
in
that
behalf
provided
,
as
the
cause
of
their
Commitment
,
after
he
had
thus
villified
,
and
abused
them
;
And
yet
he
stiles
himself
one
of
the
Iustices
of
the
Peace
of
the
County
of
Cornwall
.
O.
P.
whose
Proclamation
that
is
,
had
said
,
that
Oath
was
not
intended
for
them
;
And
further
declared
,
that
onely
in
respect
to
the
Command
of
Christ
,
who
saith
,
swear
not
at
all
,
they
refused
to
take
it
.
And
as
to
impriso●ing
of
those
who
refuse
to
take
it
,
7.
After
he
had
mustered
up
,
and
drawn
together
his
black
Troops
and
Companies
aforesaid
of
lyes
and
ignorances
,
and
of
abusing
of
the
Law
to
assault
and
destroy
the
innocent
under
his
hand
and
seal
,
that
he
might
be
sure
never
to
want
additional
supplyes
of
the
like
forces
,
and
qualifications
it
to
accomplish
;
in
the
seventh
place
,

whose
mouth
is

large
as
Hell

whose
depth
is
as
the
pit
that

no

and
whose
smoke
ascends
up

ever

;
who
was
begotten
by

late
Bishops
on
the
Whore
of
Babylon
,
of
whom
he
is
a
branch

and
damned
by

that
whole
generation
that
brought
it
forth

of
whom
it
was
the
sudden
overthrow

and
destruction

And
now
after

is
brought
up
from
the
depths
of

by
this
Officer
of

as
he
calls
himself
,
Justice
of
the
Peace
of
the
County
of
Cornwall
,
who
is
a
shame
to
the
Government
:
When
by
the
Law
of
the
Land
,
all
Warrants
of
Commitment
ought
expresly
to
mention
the
name
,
the
habitation
,
the
calling
of
the
person
committed
,
and
the
certain
offence
,
which
must
be
such
as
is
so
in
Law
,
according
to
which
the
Prisoner
is
to
have
his
Issue
.
But
whether
this
be
such
,
let
him
who
reads

judge
;
and
whether

age
in

,
as
was
the

of

,
and
deserving

yea
a
greater
condemnation

rise
no

henceforth
even
for

Being
delivered
in

till
the

on
the

of
which
,
being

25.
of
the
first

they
were
brought
before
the
Bench
,
where
John
Glynne
,
Chief
Justice
of
the
Upper
Bench
,
sate
Judge
.
Multitudes
of
people
being
in
and
about
the
Court
,
and
in
the
Town
,
who
having
heard
very
strange
reports
concerning
them
,
expected
some
great
thing
to
be
laid
to
their
charge
,
and
proved
equivolent
thereunto
,
and
to
the
misusages
and
impri●onments
they
had
sustained
,
of
which
the
whole
Countrey
was
ful●
;
as
the
prisoners
,
considering
their
innocency
and
sufferings
,
had
also
cause
to
expect
,
and
justice
of
him
,
who
was
in
Commission
Chief
Justice
of
England
unto
whom
in
case●
o●
wrong
judgement

appeals
are
made
from
other
Judges

J●●●●ces
,
and
Ministers
of

according
to
the
Law

and
his
place

and

,
and
a
suitable
care
and
t●nderness
of
the
liberties
of
men
,
according
to
the
Law

Equity
,
whats●ever
had
been
the
contrary
proceedings
of
others
in
Commission
,
to
the
truth
,
and
the
Friends
thereof
.
But
what
was
produced
as
to
the
one
,
and
done
by
the
other
,
and
what
justice
they
received
,
will
appear
to
the
sober
and
wise
in
heart
,
when
those
few
of
the
passages
of
that
Assizes
in
reference
unto
them
,
as
they
are
rehearsed
and
managed
in
the
Law
in
their
following
Letter

sent
by
them
,
and
delivered
the
last
Assizes
at
Gloucester
,
where
he
sate
Judge

as

towards
them
,
shall
onely
be
considered

in

For
John
Glynne
,
Chief
Justice
of
England
.
Friend
,
WE
are
Free-men
of
England
,
free
born
;
our
Rights
and
Liberties
in
and
with
our
Countryes
,
with
the
Laws
,
the
defence
of
them
,
have
we
in
the
late
Wars
vindicated
in
the
Field
with
our
blood
;
and
therefore
with
thee
,
by
whose
hand
we
have
so
long
,
and
do
yet
suffer
,
let
us
a
little
plainly
reason
concerning
thy
proceedings
against
us
,
whether
they
have
been
according
to
the
Law
,
or
agreeable
to
thy
duty
and
office
,
as
chief
Minister
of
the
Law
,
or
Justice
of
England
;
and
in
meekness
and
in
lowliness
abide
,
that
the
witness
of
God
in
thy
conscience
may
be
heard
to
speak
and
judge
in
this
matter
;
for
thou
and
we
must
all
appear
before
the
Judgement
Seat
of
Christ
,
that
every
one
may
receive
the
things
done
in
his
body
,
according
to
what
he
hath
done
,
whether
it
be
good
or
bad
.
And
so
Friend
,
in
moderation
and
soberness
weigh
what
we
have
here
to
say
unto
thee
.
The
afternoon
before
we
were
brought
before
thee
at
the
Assizes
at
Launceston
,
thou
didst
cause
divers
scores
of
our
Books
violently
to
be
taken
from
us
by
armed
men
,
without
due
process
of
Law
;
which
being
perused
,
(
if
so
be
any
thing
in
them
might
be
found
to
lay
to
our
charge
,
who
were
innocent
,
and
then
upon
our
legal
issue
)
thou
hast
detained
to
this
very
day
.
Now
our
Books
are
our
Goods
,
and
our
Goods
are
our
Property
,
and
our
Liberty
is
to
have
and
enjoy
our
Property
;
and
of
our
Liberty
,
and
Property
,
the
Law
is
the
defence
;
which
saith
,
—
No
Free-man
shall
be
disseized
of
his
Free-hold
,
Liberties
,
or
Free-customes
,
&c.
nor
any
way
otherwise
destroyed
;
nor
we
shall
not
pass
upon
him
,
but
by
lawfull
judgement
of
his
Peers
,
or
by
the
Law
of
the
Land
,
Magn.

—
Now
Friend
consider
,
is
not
the
taking
away
of
a
mans
Goods
violently
by
foree
of
Arms
,
as
aforesaid
,
contrary
to
the
Law
of
the
Land
?
Is
not
the
keeping
of
them
so
taken
away
,
a
disseizing
him
of
his
property
,
and
a
destroying
of
it
,
and
his
Liberty
,
yea
his
very
Being
,
so
far
as
the
invading
the
Guard
the
Law
sets
about
him
is
in
order
thereunto
?
Calls
not
the
Law
this
a
destroying
of
a
man
?
Is
there
any
more
than
one
common
Guard
or
Defence
,
(
viz.
)
the
Law
,
to
Property
,
Liberty
,
and
Life
?
And
can
this
Guard
be
broken
on
the
former
,
and
the
later
be
secure
?
Doth
not
he
that
makes
an
invasion
upon
a
mans
property
and
liberty
,
(
as
he
doth
,
who
contrary
to
Law
,
which
is
the
Guard
,
acts
upon
either
)
make
an
invasion
upon
a
mans
life
,
since
that
which
is
the
Guard
of
the
one
,
is
also
of
the
other
?
If
a
penny
or
pennyes
worth
be
taken
from
a
man
contrary
to
Law
,
may
not
by
the
same
rule
all
a
man
hath
be
taken
away
?
If
the
bound
of
the
Law
be
broken
upon
a
mans
property
,
on
the
same
ground
may
it
not
be
broken
upon
his
person
?
And
by
the
same
reason
as
it
is
broken
on
one
man
,
may
it
not
be
broken
upon
all
,
sithence
the
liberty
,
and
property
,
and
the
beings
of
all
men
under
a
Government
,
is
relative
,
a
Communion
of
Wealth
,
as
the
members
in
the
body
,
but
one
guard
to
all
,
and
defence
,
the
Law
,
one
man
cannot
be
injured
therein
,
but
it
redounds
unto
all
?
Are
not
such
things
in
order
to
the
subversion
and
dissolution
of
Government
?
Where
there
is
no
Law
,
what
is
become
of
Government
?
And
of
what
value
is
the
Law
made
,
when
the
Ministers
thereof
break
it
at
pleasure
,
upon
mens
properties
,
liberties
,
and
persons
?
Canst
thou
clear
thy self
of
these
things
as
to
us
?
To
that
of
God
in
thy
conscience
whi●h
is
just
,
do
we
speak
.
Hast
thou
acted
like
a
M
nister
,
the
Chief
Minister
of
the
Law
,
who
hast
taken
away
our
Goods
,
and
yet
detainest
them
,
without
so
much
as
going
by
lawfull
Warrant
grounded
upon
due
information
,
wh●ch
in
this
our
case
thou
couldest
not
have
,
for
none
had
perused
●hem
whereof
to
give
the
information
?
Shouldest
thou
exerc●se
violence
,
and
force
of
Arms
on
Prisone●s
Goods
,
in
their
Prison-chamber
,
instead
of
orderly
and
legally
proceeding
,
which
thy
place
calls
upon
thee
above
any
man
to
tender
,
defend
,
and
maintain
against
the
other
,
and
to
preserve
the
Guard
entire
of
every
mans
being
,
liberty
,
life
,
and
livelyhood
?
Shouldest
thou
,
whose
duty
it
is
to
punish
the
wrong
doer
,
do
wrong
thy self
?
Who
oughtest
to
see
the
Law
be
kept
and
observed
,
break
the
Law
,
and
turn
aside
the
due
administration
thereof
?
Surely
from
thee
,
considering
thee
as
Chief
Justice
of
England
,
other
●hings
were
expected
both
by
us
,
and
the
People
of
this
Nation
.
And
,
Friend
,
when
we
were
brought
before
thee
,
and
stood
upon
our
Legal
Issue
,
and
no
Accuser
or
Accusation
came
in
against
us
,
as
to
what
we
had
been
wrongfully
imprisoned
,
and
in
Prison
detained
for
the
sp●ce
of
nine
weeks
,
shouldst
not
thou
have
caused
us
to
have
been
acquitted
by
Proclamation
?
Saith
not
the
Law
so
?
Oughtest
not
thou
to
have
examined
the
cause
of
our
commitment
,
and
there
not
appearing
a
lawfull
cause
,
oughtest
not
thou
to
have
discharged
us
?
Is
it
not
the
substance
of
thy
office
and
duty
,
to
do
justice
according
to
the
Law
,
and
C●st●me
of
England
?
Is
not
this
the
end
of
the
administration
of
the
Law
,
and
of
the
General
Assizes
,
of
the
Goal
deliveries
,
of
the
Judges
going
the
Circuits
?
Hast
not
thou
,
by
doing
otherwise
,
acted
contrary
to
all
these
,
and
to
Magna
Charta
,
cap.

Hast
not
thou
both
deferred
and
denyed
us
,
who
had
been
so
long
oppressed
,
this
Justice
and
Right
?
And
when
of
thee

we
demanded

saidst
thou
not

If
we

thou
wouldst
hear

We

But
none
of

hath
such
an
expression
or
condition
in
it
as
this
,
(

Provided

If

put

.
Nor
doth
the
Law
of

so
say
,
or
that
your

From
whence
then
comes
this

,
If
ye
will
be

I
will
hear
ye
,
and
do
●e

,
this
hearing
complaint

this
doing
of
Justice
upon
condition
?
Wherein
lyes
the
equity
and
reasonableness
of
that
?
When
were
those
Fundamental
Laws
repealed
,
which
were
the
issue
of
much
Blood
and
War
,
which
to
uphold

cost
the

that
we

done

upon
condition

such
a
trifling

Doth
thy

who
art

as

repeal
them

Whether
it
be
so

no
indeed
,
and
to
the
Nation
,
thou
hast
made
it
so
to
us
.
—
Whom
thou
hast
denyed
the
justice
of
our
Liberty
(
when
we
were

and
no
Accuser
or
Accusation
came
in
against

)
and
the
hearing
of
the
wrong
done
to
us
who
were
innocent
,
and
the
doing

Right
,
and
Bonds
hast
thou
cast
,
and
continued
upon
us
to
this
day
,
under
an
unreasonable
and
cruel
Jaylor
,
for
not
performing
that
thy
condition
for
conscience
sake
.
But
thinkest
thou
that
this
thine
own
Conditional
Justice
maketh
voyd
the
Law

or
can
it
do
so

or
absolve
thee
before
God

Man

or
acquit
thee
of
the
penalty
mentioned
in
the

unto

hast
thou
not
sworn

(

And
in

ye
be

I

hear

And
because

the

so
great
?
And
art
thou
so
certain
of
thy
time
and
station
above
all
that
have
gone
before
thee
,
whom
justice
hath
cut
down
,
and
given
their
due
,
that
thou
shalt
never
be
called
to
an
account
,
nor
with
its
long
and
sure
stroke
be
reached
?
Deceive
not
thy self
,
God
is
come
nearer
to
udgement
than
the
workers
of
iniquity
in
this
age
imagine
,
who
persecute
,
and
evil
intreat
those
who
witness
the
Just
and
Holy
One
for
their
witnessing
of
him
,
who
is
come
to
reign
for
ever
and
ever
.
Saith
he
not
,
he
will
be
a
swift
Witness
against
the
false
Swearers
?
God
is
not
mocked
.
Surely
,
Friend
,
that
must
needs
be
a
very
great
offence
,
the
not
forbearing
of
the
doing
of
which
,
deprives
a
man
of
justice
,
of
being
heard
,
as
to
wrong
,
of
the
benefit
of
the
Law
,
of
those
Laws
before
rehearsed
;
the
justice
and
equity
of
which
for
to
defend
,
a
man
hath
adventured
his
Blood
,
and
all
that
is
dear
to
him
.
But
to
stand
covered
,
or
with
the
Hat
on
,
in
conscience
to
the
command
of
the
Lord
,
is
made
by
thee
such
an
one
,
which
is
none
in
Law
,
and
rendred
upon
us
who
are
innocent
,
serving
the
living
God
effectually
,
though
the
Laws
of
God
and
of
Man
,
and
the
Oath
,
and
Equity
,
and
Reason
,
saith
the
contrary
,
and
on
it
pronounceth
such
a
penalty
.
If
ye
will
be
uncovered
,
I
will
hear
you
,
and
do
you
justice
:
But
justice
we
had
not
,
nor
were
we
heard
,
because
the
light
of
Jesus
Christ
,
who
is
the
higher
power
,
the
Law-giver
of
his
people
in
our
consciences
,
commanded
us
not
to
respect
persons
,
whom
to
obey
,
we
chose
rather
than
man
.
And
for
our
obedience
into
it
,
hast
thou
cast
us
into
Prison
,
and
continued
us
there
to
this
very
day
,
having
neither
shewed
us
Law
for
it
,
nor
Scripture
,
or
instance
of
either
,
or
example
of
Heathens
,
or
others
.
Friend
come
down
to
that
of
God
that
is
just
in
thee
,
and
consider
,
Was
ever
such
a
thing
heard
of
in
this
Nation
?
What
is
become
of
Seriousness
,
of
Judgement
and
of
Righteousness
?
An
unrighteous
man
,
standing
before
thee
with
his
Hat
off
shall
be
heard
;
but
an
innocent
man
appearing
with
his
Hat
on
,
in
conscience
to
the
Lo●d
▪
shall
neither
be
heard
,
nor
have
justice
.
Is
not
this
regarding
of
persons
,
contrary
to
the
Laws
aforesaid
,
and
the
Oath
,
and
the
Law
of
God
?
Vnderstand
,
and
judge
.
Did
we
not
own
Authority
and
Government
oftentimes
before
the
Court
?
Didst
not
thou
say
in
the
Court
,
thou
wast
glad
to
hear
so
much
from
us
of
our
owning
Magistracy
?
Pleaded
we
not
to
the
Indictment
,
though
it
was
such
a
new
found
one
as
England
never
heard
of
before
?
Came
we
not
when
thou
sentst
for
us
?
Went
we
not
when
thou
bidst
us
go
?
And
are
we
not
still
Prisoners
at
thy
Command
,
and
at
thy
Will
?
If
the
Hat
had
been
such
an
offence
to
thee
,
couldst
not
thou
have
caused
it
to
have
been
taken
off
?
When
thou
hadst
heard
us
so
often
declare
,
we
could
not
do
it
in
conscience
to
the
command
of
the
Lord
,
and
that
for
that
cause
we
forbore
it
,
not
in
contempt
of
thee
,
or
of
Authority
,
nor
in
dis-respect
to
thine
,
or
any
mans
person
;
for
we
said
,
we
honoured
all
men
in
the
Lord
,
and
owned
Authority
,
which
was
a
terrour
to
evil
doers
,
and
a
praise
to
them
that
do
well
;
And
our
souls
were
subject
to
the
higher
powers
for
conscience
sake
,
as
thou
causedst
them
to
be
taken
off
,
and
to
be
kept
so
,
when
thou
calledst
the
Jury
to
finde
us
Transgressors
without
a
Law
?
What
ado
hast
thou
made
to
take
away
the
Righteousness
of
the
Righteous
from
him
,
and
to
cause
us
to
suffer
further
,
whom
thou
knewest
to
have
been
so
long
wrongfully
in
Prison
contrary
to
Law
?
Is
not
Liberty
of
Conscience
a
Natural
Right
?
Had
there
been
a
Law
in
this
case
,
and
we
bound
up
in
our
Consciences
,
that
we
could
not
have
obeyed
it
,
was
not
Liberty
of
Conscience
there
to
take
place
?
For
where
the
Law
saith
not
against
,
there
needs
no
Plea
of
Liberty
of
Conscience
:
But
the
Law
have
not
we
offended
,
yet
in
thy
will
for
our
consciences
,
where
the
Law
requires
no
such
thing
,
hast
thou
,
and
dost
thou
yet
cause
us
to
suffer
;
And
yet
for
Liberty
of
Conscience
hath
all
the
blood
been
spilt
,
and
the
miseries
of
the
late
Wars
undergone
;
and
as
O.
P.
saith
,
this
Government
undertaken
to
preserve
it
,
and
a
Natural
Right
he
saith
it
is
;
and
he
that
would
have
it
,
he
saith
,
ought
to
give
it
;
And
if
a
Natural
Right
,
as
it
is
undeniable
,
than
to
attempt
to
force
it
,
or
to
punish
a
man
for
not
doing
contrary
thereunto
,
is
to
act
against
Nature
,
which
as
it
is
unreasonable
,
so
it
is
the
same
as
to
offer
violence
to
a
mans
life
,
and
what
an
offence
that
is
in
the
Law
thou
knowest
;
and
how
by
the
common
Law
of
England
all
Acts
,
and
Agreements
,
and
Laws
,
that
are
against
Nature
,
are
meer
nullities
,
and
all
the
Judges
cannot
make
one
case
to
be
Law
which
is
against
Nature
.
But
put
the
case
our
standing
with
our
Hats
on
,
had
been
an
offence
in
Law
,
and
we
wilfully
,
and
in
contempt
,
and
not
out
of
Conscience
,
had
so
stood
,
which
we
deny
as
aforesaid
,
Yet
,
that
is
not
a
ground
wher●fore
we
should
be
denyed
Justice
,
or
to
be
heard
as
to
the
wrong
done
to
us
;
If
ye
will
not
offend
in
one
case
,
I
will
do
you
Justice
in
another
,
this
is
not
the
language
of
the
Law
,
or
of
justice
,
which
distributes
to
every
one
their
Right
,
justice
to
whom
justice
is
due
,
punishment
to
whom
punishment
is
due
;
A
man
who
doth
wrong
,
may
also
have
wrong
done
to
him
,
shall
he
not
have
right
wherein
he
is
wrongd
,
unless
he
right
him
whom
he
hath
wronged
:
The
Law
saith
not
so
,
but
the
wrong
doer
is
to
suffer
,
and
the
sufferer
of
wrong
is
to
be
righted
.
Is
not
otherwise
to
do
a
denying
,
a
letting
of
even
Law
,
and
execution
of
justice
,
and
a
bringing
under
the
penalties
aforesaid
,
mind
and
consider
.
And
shouldst
thou
have
accu●ed
,
when
no
accuser
appeared
against
us
,
as
in
the
particulars
of
striking
P.
Ceely
,
and
dispersing
Books
(
as
thou
saye'st●
against
Magistracie
,
and
Ministrie
,
with
which
thou
didst
accuse
on●
of
us
;
Saith
not
the
Law
that
the
Judge
ought
not
be
the
accuser
,
much
less
a
false
accuser
;
and
w●s't
not
thou
such
a
one
,
in
affirming
that
he
dispersed
Books
against
Magistracie
and
Ministrie
,
when
as
the
Books
were
violently
taken
out
of
our
Chamber
,
as
hath
been
said
,
undispersed
by
him
or
any
of
us
?
Nor
didst
thou
make
it
to
appear
in
one
particular
,
wherein
those
thou
so
violently
didst
cause
to
be
taken
away
,
were
against
Magistracie
,
or
Ministry
,
or
gavest
one
Instance
,
or
Replie
,
when
he
denied
what
thou
charg'st
therein
,
and
spake
to
thee
to
bring
forth
those
Books
,
and
make
them
to
appear
.
Is
not
the
sword
of
the
Magistrate
of
God
to
pass
upon
such
evill
doing
?
And
according
to
the
Administration
of
the
Law
,
ought
not
accusations
to
be
by
way
of
Indictment
,
wherein
the
offence
is
to
be
charged
,
and
the
Law
expressed
against
which
it
is
?
Can
there
be
an
Issue
without
an
Indictment
,
or
can
an
Indictment
be
found
,
before
proof
be
made
of
the
offence
charged
therein
?
And
hast
not
thou
herein
gone
contrary
to
the
Law
,
and
the
Administration
thereof
,
and
thy
dutie
as
a
Judge
?
What
just
cause
of
offence
gave
G.
F.
to
thee
,
when
upon
thy
producing
of
a
paper
concerning
swearing
sent
by
him
,
as
thou
said'st
to
the
grand
Jurors
,
and
requiring
him
to
say
,
whether
it
was
his
hand-writing
,
He
answered
,
read
it
up
before
the
Country
,
and
when
he
heard
it
read
,
if
it
were
his
he
would
own
it
?
Is
it
not
equall
,
and
according
to
Law
,
that
what
a
man
is
charged
with
before
the
Countrie
,
should
be
read
in
his
,
and
the
hearing
of
the
Country
?
When
a
paper
is
delivered
out
of
a
mans
hand
,
Alterations
may
be
made
in
it
to
his
prejudice
,
which
on
a
sudain
looking
over
it
may
not
presently
be
discerned
,
But
hearing
it
read
up
may
be
better
understood
,
whether
any
such
alterations
have
been
made
therein
.
Couldst
thou
in
justice
have
expected
,
or
required
him
otherwise
to
do
,
considering
also
how
he
was
not
unsensible
,
how
much
he
had
suffered
already
being
innocent
,
and
what
endeavours
there
were
used
to
cause
him
further
to
suffer
;
Was
not
what
he
said
as
aforesaid
,
a
plain
and
single
answer
,
and
sufficient
in
the
Law
,
though
(
as
hath
been
demonstrated
)
contrary
to
the
Law
thou
didst
act
,
and
thy
Office
,
in
being
his
accuser
therein
,
and
producing
the
paper
against
him
.
And
in
his
liberty
it
was
whether
he
would
have
made
thee
any
answer
at
all
,
to
what
thou
didst
exhibite
,
or
demand
out
of
the
due
course
of
the
Law
,
for
to
the
Law
answer
is
to
be
made
not
to
thy
will
.
Wherefore
then
wast
thou
so
filled
with
rage
;
and
fury
upon
that
his
Reply
?
Calmly
,
and
in
the
fear
of
the
Lord
consider
:
Wherefore
didst
thou
revile
him
,
particularly
with
the
reproachfull
names
of
Jugler
,
and
Prevaricator
,
wherein
did
he
juggle
,
wherein
did
he
prevaricate
?
Wherefore
didst
thou
use
such
threatning
language
,
and
such
menacings
to
him
,
and
us
,
saying
,
thou
wouldst
firk
us
,
with
such
like
?
Doth
not
the
Law
forbid
reviling
,
and
rage
,
and
fury
,
and
threatning
,
and
menacing
of
Prisoners
?
soberly
mind
,
Is
this
to
act
like
a
Judge
,
or
a
Man
?
Is
not
this
transgression
?
Is
not
the
sword
of
the
Magistrate
of
God
to
pass
upon
this
as
evill
doing
,
which
the
Righteous
Law
condemns
,
and
the
higher
power
is
against
,
which
judgeth
for
God
?
Take
heed
what
ye
do
,
for
ye
judgo
not
for
man
but
for
the
Lord
,
who
is
with
you
in
the
judgement
,
Wherefore
now
let
the
fear
of
the
Lord
be
upon
you
,
Take
heed
and
do
it
,
for
there
is
no
iniquitie
with
the
Lord
our
God
,
nor
respect
of
persons
,
nor
taking
of
gifts
,
said
Jehosaphat
to
the
Judges
of
Judah
:
Pride
,
and
Fury
,
and
Passion
,
and
Rage
,
and
Reviling
▪
and
Threatning
is
not
the
Lords
:
It
and
the
principle
out
of
which
it
springs
is
for
judgement
,
and
must
come
under
the
sword
of
the
Magistrate
of
God
,
and
is
of
an
evill
savour
,
especially
such
an
expression
as
to
threaten
to
firk
us
:
Is
not
such
a
saying
more
becoming
a
Pedant
,
or
School
Master
,
with
his
rod
,
or
ferula
in
his
hand
,
than
thee
who
art
the
Chief
Justice
of
the
Nation
,
who
sits
in
the
highest
seat
of
judgement
,
who
oughtest
to
give
a
good
example
,
and
so
to
judge
,
as
others
may
hear
and
fear
,
weigh
it
soberly
,
and
consider
?
Doth
not
threatning
language
demonstrate
an
unequalitie
,
and
partialitie
in
him
who
sits
as
a
Judge
?
Is
it
not
a
deterring
of
a
Prisoner
from
standing
to
,
and
pleading
the
innocencie
of
his
cause
?
Provides
not
the
Law
against
it
?
saith
it
not
that
Irons
,
and
all
other
Bonds
shall
be
taken
from
the
Prisonor
,
that
he
may
plead
without
amazement
,
and
with
such
freedome
of
spirit
as
if
he
were
not
a
Prisoner
?
But
when
he
who
is
to
judge
according
to
the
Law
,
shall
before-hand
threaten
,
and
menace
the
Prisoner
contrary
to
the
Law
,
how
can
the
mind
of
the
Prisoner
be
free
to
plead
his
innocency
before
him
,
or
expect
equall
judgement
,
who
before
he
hears
him
threatens
what
he
will
do
to
him
?
Is
not
this
the
case
between
thee
and
us
?
Is
not
this
the
measure
we
have
received
at
thy
hands
?
Hast
thou
herein
dealt
according
to
Law
,
or
thy
duty
,
or
as
thou
wouldst
be
done
unto
?
Let
that
of
God
in
thy
conscience
judge
.
And
didst
not
thou
say
there
was
a
law
for
putting
off
the
Hat
,
and
that
thou
wouldst
shew
a
law
▪
and
didst
not
thou
often
so
express
thy self
?
But
didst
thou
produce
any
law
,
or
shew
where
that
law
might
be
found
or
any
judiciall
president
,
or
in
what
Kings
Reign
,
when
we
desired
it
so
often
of
thee
,
having
never
heard
of
,
or
known
any
such
law
by
which
thou
didst
judge
us
?
Was
not
what
we
demanded
of
thee
reasonable
and
just
?
Was
that
a
savory
answer
and
a●cording
to
law
which
thou
gavest
us
,
(
viz.
)
I
am
not
to
carry
the
law
books
at
my
back
up
and
down
the
Country
,
I
●m
not
to
instruct
ye
?
Was
ever
such
an
expression
heard
before
these
days
,
to
come
out
of
a
Judges
mouth
?
Is
he
not
to
be
of
Counsell
in
the
law
for
the
Prisoner
and
to
instruct
him
therein
?
Is
it
not
for
this
cause
that
the
Prisoner
in
many
cases
is
not
at
all
allowed
Counsell
by
the
law
?
In
all
Courts
of
justice
in
this
Nation
hath
it
not
been
known
so
to
have
been
?
and
to
the
Prisoner
hath
not
this
been
often
declared
when
he
hath
demanded
Counsell
,
alledging
his
ignorance
in
the
law
,
by
reason
of
which
his
cause
might
miscarry
,
though
it
were
righteou●
,
(
viz.
)
the
Court
is
of
Counsell
for
you
?
Ought
not
he
that
judgeth
in
the
law
to
be
expert
in
the
law
?
Couldst
thou
not
tell
by
what
act
of
Parliament
it
was
made
,
or
by
what
judiciall
President
,
or
in
what
Kings
reign
,
or
when
it
was
adjudged
so
by
the
common
law
,
(
which
are
all
the
grounds
the
law
of
England
hath
)
had
there
been
such
a
law
,
though
the
words
of
the
law
thou
couldst
not
remember
?
Surely
to
informe
the
Prisoner
when
he
desires
it
,
especially
as
to
a
law
which
was
never
heard
of
,
by
which
he
proceeds
to
judge
him
,
that
he
may
know
what
law
it
is
by
which
he
is
to
be
judged
,
becomes
him
who
judgeth
for
God
;
for
so
the
law
was
read
to
the
Jews
,
hy
which
they
were
to
be
judged
,
yea
,
every
Saboath
day
this
was
the
Commandement
of
the
Lord
,
But
to
say
instead
thereof
,
I
am
not
to
carry
the
law
books
at
my
back
up
and
down
the
Country
,
I
am
not
to
instruct
ye
,
To
say
there
is
a
law
,
and
to
say
thou
wilt
shew
it
,
and
yet
not
to
shew
it
nor
tell
where
it
is
to
be
found
,
consider
,
whether
it
be
consistent
with
savouriness
,
or
truth
,
or
justice
?
And
hath
not
thy
whole
proceedings
against
us
made
it
evidently
to
appear
,
that
thy
desire
was
to
cause
us
to
suffer
,
not
to
deliver
us
,
who
being
innocent
,
suffered
to
have
us
aspersed
,
and
reproached
b●fore
the
Countrie
,
not
to
have
our
innocencie
cleared
and
vindicated
?
Doth
not
thy
taking
away
our
books
as
aforesaid
,
and
the
perusing
of
them
in
such
hast
,
before
our
tryall
,
and
thou
accusing
us
with
some
things
,
which
thou
saidst
was
contained
in
them
,
make
it
to
appear
that
matter
was
sought
out
of
them
,
wherewithall
to
charge
us
,
when
the
Warrant
ET
CETERA
could
not
stand
in
law
,
by
which
we
stood
committed
,
and
were
then
upon
our
delivery
according
to
the
course
of
law
?
Doth
it
not
further
appear
by
the
refusing
to
take
from
our
hands
,
a
Copy
of
the
strange
ET
CETERA
Warrant
,
by
which
we
were
committed
,
and
of
the
paper
by
which
we
were
apprehended
to
read
it
,
or
cause
it
to
be
read
,
that
so
our
long
sufferings
by
reason
of
both
,
might
be
lookt
into
and
weighed
in
the
law
▪
whether
just
or
righteous
and
the
Countrie
might
as
well
see
our
innocency
,
and
sufferings
without
a
cause
,
and
the
manner
of
dealing
with
us
,
a●●o
hear
such
reports
,
as
went
of
us
as
great
offenders
,
when
we
called
upon
thee
often
so
to
do
,
and
which
thou
oughtest
to
have
done
,
and
said'st
thou
would'st
do
it
,
but
did'st
it
not
,
nor
so
much
as
took
notice
before
the
Countrie
,
that
we
had
been
falsly
imprisoned
,
and
had
wrongfully
suffered
;
But
what
might
asperse
and
charge
us
,
thou
brought'st
in
thy self
contrary
to
law
,
and
did'st
call
to
have
us
charged
therewith
?
Is
not
this
further
manifest
,
in
that
thou
didst
cause
us
on
a
suddain
to
be
withdrawn
,
and
the
pety
Jurors
to
be
called
in
with
their
verdict
.
Who
upon
Peter
Ceelyes
falsly
accusing
G.
F.
with
telling
him
privately
of
a
design
,
and
perswading
him
to
joyn
therein
,
it
was
by
G.
F.
made
so
clear
,
and
manifest
a
falsehood
,
and
so
plainly
to
be
perceived
,
that
the
cause
of
our
sufferings
was
not
any
evill
we
had
done
,
or
law
that
we
had
transgressed
,
but
malice
,
and
wickedness
?
And
is
it
not
abundantly
clear
,
In
thy
not
permitting
us
to
ans●er
,
and
clear
our selves
of
the
many
fowl
slanders
charged
upon
us
in
the
new
found
Indictment
,
of
which
no
proof
was
made
,
but
when
we
were
answering
thereunto
,
and
clearing
our selves
thereof
,
thou
us
didst
stop
saying
,
Thou
mindest
not
those
things
,
but
onely
the
putting
off
the
Hat
.
When
as
before
the
Country
the
new
found
Indictment
charged
us
with
those
things
,
and
the
pety
Jurors
brought
in
their
verdict
guilty
of
the
trespasses
and
contempts
mentioned
therein
;
of
which
except
as
to
the
Hat
,
not
one
witness
was
produced
,
●r
evidence
,
and
as
to
the
Hat
not
any
law
,
or
judiciall
President
,
upon
the
transgression
of
which
,
all
legall
Indictments
are
onely
to
be
grounded
:
Now
the
law
seeks
not
for
cause
whereby
to
make
the
innocent
to
suffer
,
but
helpeth
him
to
Right
who
suffers
wrong
,
and
releeveth
the
oppressed
,
and
searcheth
out
the
matter
,
whether
that
of
which
a
man
stands
accused
be
so
or
no
,
seeking
judgement
,
and
hastening
righteousness
,
and
it
saith
,
the
innocent
and
the
righteous
slay
thou
not
,
But
whether
thou
hast
done
so
to
us
,
or
to
the
contra
y
,
let
the
witness
of
God
in
thee
search
and
judge
,
as
these
thy
fruits
do
also
make
manifest
.
And
f●iend
,
consider
how
abhominablie
wicked
,
and
how
highly
to
be
abhor'd
,
denyed
and
witnessed
against
,
and
how
contrary
to
the
law
such
a
proceeding
is
,
as
to
charge
a
man
with
many
offences
in
an
Indictment
;
which
those
who
draw
the
Indictment
,
and
prosecu●●●nd
find
the
bill
know
to
be
false
,
and
to
be
set
in
purposely
to
reproach
and
wound
his
good
name
,
whom
with
some
small
matter
,
which
they
can
prove
,
they
charge
and
Indict
,
as
is
the
common
practise
at
this
day
?
Prove
but
one
particular
charge
in
the
Indictment
,
and
it
must
stand
(
say
they
)
for
a
true
Bill
,
though
there
be
never
so
many
falsehoods
therein
and
lyes
,
on
set
purpose
to
wrong
him
who
is
maliciously
persecuted
,
This
is
known
to
the
Iudges
,
and
almost
to
every
man
who
hath
to
do
with
,
and
attends
their
Courts
,
and
how
contrary
to
the
end
and
righteousness
of
the
law
,
which
clears
the
innocent
and
condemns
the
guilty
,
and
condemneth
not
the
righteous
with
the
wicked
and
much
it
is
cryed
out
against
,
but
of
it
what
is
there
of
Reformation
?
How
else
shall
Clerks
of
Assize
,
and
other
Clerks
of
Courts
,
fill
up
their
bags
,
(
out
of
of
which
perhaps
their
Master
must
have
a
secret
consideration
)
and
be
heightned
in
pride
and
impudence
,
that
even
in
open
Courts
they
take
upon
them
to
check
,
and
revile
man
without
reproof
,
when
a
few
lines
may
serve
instead
of
a
hundred
?
How
else
shall
the
spirit
that
is
in
men
that
lusteth
unto
envie
,
malice
,
strife
,
contention
be
cherished
and
nourished
to
feed
the
Lawyers
,
and
dependants
on
Courts
with
the
bread
of
mens
children
,
and
the
ruine
of
their
families
to
maintain
their
long
Sutes
and
malicious
contentions
?
I
mind
not
these
things
,
I
le
not
hear
you
clear
your selves
,
of
what
you
are
falsly
accused
,
one
thing
I
mind
in
your
charge
,
the
rest
are
but
matter
of
forme
,
set
there
to
render
you
such
wicked
men
before
the
Countrie
,
which
the

not

O

and

righteous

of

,
wh

is
so
carefull

How
is

he

was

,
this
saith
the
righteous
law
of
God
,
which
is
agreeable
to
that
of
God
in
every

.
Are
not
such
forms
of
iniquitie
to
be
denyed
,
which
are
so
contrary
to
the
law
of
God
and
man
,
which
serve
for
the
gendring
of
strife
,
and
the
kindling
of

?
And
of
this
nature
was
not
that
with
which
thou
didst
cause
us
to
be
Indicted
?
and
this
forme
didst
not
thou
uphold
,
in
not
permitting
us
to
answer
to
the
many
foul
slanders
therein
,
saying
those
things
thou
mindest
not
?
Will
not
the
wrath
of
God
be
revealed
from
Heaven
against
all
ungodliness
and
unrighteousness
of
men
,
Who
hold
the
truth
in
unrighteousness
?
Who
are
so
far
from
the
power
of
godliness
,
that
they
have
not
the
forme
,
but
the
form
of
iniquity
which
is
set
up
,
and
upheld
instead
of
,
and
as
a
law
to
overthrow
,
and
destroy
the
righteousness
of
the
righteous
,
and
so
to
set
him
up
,
as
by
the
law
he
can
never
get
out
?
Is
not
the
crie
thinkest
thou
gone
up
?
It
is
time
for
thee
to
set
to
thine
hand
,
O
Lord
,
for
thine
enemies
have
made
void
thy
law
,
draws
not
the
hour
nigh
?
fills
not
up
the
measure
of
iniquitie
apace
?
Surely
your
day
is
coming
and
hastneth
,
warned
you
have
been
from
the
presence
,
and
by
the
mouth
of
the
Lord
,
and
clear
will
he
be
when
he
cometh
to
judgement
,
and
upright
when
he
giveth
sentence
,
That
of
God
in
every
one
of
your
consciences
shall
so
to
him
bear
witness
and
confess
,
and
your
mouths
shall
be
stopped
,
and
before
your
Judge
shall
you
be
silent
,
when
he
shall
divide
you
your
portion
,
and
render
unto
you
according
unto
your
deeds
.
Therefore
whilst
thou
hast
time
prize
it
and
repent
,
for
verily
our
God
shall
come
and
shall
not
keep
silence
,
a
fire
shall
devoure
before
him
,
and
it
shall
be
very
tempestuous
round
about
him
,
he
shall
call
to
the
Heavens
from
above
,
and
to
the
earth
that
he
may
Judge
his
people
,
and
the
Heavens
shall
declare
his
righteousness
,
for
God
is
Judge
himself
:
Consider
this
ye
that
forget
God
,
least
he
tear
you
to
pieces
,
and
there
be
none
to
deliver
.
And
Friend
,
shouldst
thou
have
given
judgement
,
against
us
,
wherein
thou
didst
fine
us
20.
marks
apiece
,
and
imprisonment
till
payment
,
without
causing
us
being
Prisoners
to
be
brought
before
thee
to
hear
the
judgement
,
and
to
move
what
we
had
to
say
in
arrest
of
judgement
?
Is
not
this
contrary
to
the
law
,
as
is
manifest
to
those
who
understand
the
proceedings
thereof
?
Is
not
the
Prisoner
to
be
called
before
judgement
is
given
,
and
is
not
the
Indictment
to
be
read
,
and
the
verdict
thereupon
,
and
is
not
libertie
to
be
given
him
to
move
in
Arrest
of
judgement
,
and
if
it
be
a
just
exception
in
the
law
,
ought
not
there
to
be
an
Arrest
of
Iudgement
?
For
the
Indictment
may
not
be
drawn
up
according
to
law
,
and
may
be
wrong
placed
,
and
the
offence
charged
therein
may
not
be
a
cr
me
in
law
,
●r
the
Jurors
may
have
been
corrupted
or
menaced
,
or
set
on
by
some
of
the
Iustices
,
with
other
particulars
,
which
are
known
to
be
legall
and
just
exceptions
:
And
the
judgement
ought
to
be
in
his
hearing
,
not
behind
his
back
,
as
if
the
Iudge
were
so
conscious
of
the
error
thereof
,
that
he
dares
not
give
it
to
the
face
of
the
Prisoner
:
But
none
of
those
Priviledges
of
the
law
,
this
Iustice
,
we
who
had
so
long
and
so
greatly
suffered
contrary
to
law
received
not
,
nor
could
have
at
thy
hands
,
no
not
so
much
as
a
sight
,
or
Copy
of
that
long
and
new-found
Indictment
,
which
in
England
was
never
heard
of
before
,
nor
that
the
matter
contained
therein
was
an
offence
in
law
,
nor
ever
was
there
any
law
,
or
judiciall
president
that
made
it
so
,
though
two
friends
in
our
names
and
behalves
that
night
and
the
next
day
,
and
the
day
following
often
desired
it
,
of
the
Clarke
of
Assize
,
and
his
Assistant
,
and
servants
,
but
it
they
could
not
have
,
nor
so
much
liberty
as
to
see
it
.
And
't
is
like
it
was
not
unknown
,
or
unperceived
by
thee
,
that
had
we
been
called
as
we
ought
to
have
been
,
or
had
known
when
it
was
to
be
given
,
three
or
four
words
might
have
made
a
sufficient
legall
Arrest
of
that
new-found
Indictment
,
and
the
verdict
thereupon
;
Therefore
as
our
liberties
,
who
are
innocent
,
have
not
been
worth
in
thy
account
the
minding
,
and
esteemed
fit
for
nothing
but
to
be
trampled
underfoot
and
destroyed
,
so
if
we
find
fault
with
what
thou
hast
done
,
thou
hast
taken
care
that
no
door
be
left
open
to
us
in
the
law
,
but
a
Writ
of
error
,
the
consideration
whereof
,
and
the
judgement
to
be
given
thereon
,
is
to
be
had
onely
where
thy self
is
chief
,
of
whom
such
complaint
is
to
be
made
,
and
the
error
assigned
for
the
reverse
of
thy
judgement
,
and
what
the
fruit
of
that
may
be
well
expected
to
be
,
by
what
we
have
already
mentioned
as
having
received
at
hy
hands
,
thou
hast
given
us
to
understand
.
And
here
thou
mayst
think
thou
hast
made
thy
self
secure
,
and
sufficiently
barr'd
up
our
way
of
relief
,
against
whom
[
though
thou
knowest
we
had
done
nothing
contrary
to
the
Law
,
or
worthy
of
Bonds
,
much
less
of
the
Bonds
and
sufferings
we
had
sustaind
]
thou
hast
proceeded
as
hath
been
rehearsed
;
Notwithstanding
,
that
thou
art
[
as
are
all
the
Judges
of
the
Nation
]
intrusted
not
with
a
Legisllative
power
,
but
to
administer
Justice
,
and
to
do
EVEN
Law
,
and
excecution
of
right
to
all
,
high
and
low
,
rich
and
poor
,
without
having
regard
to
any
mans
person
,
and
art
sworn
so
to
do
,
as
hath
been
said
,
and
wherein
thou
dost
contrary
art
liable
to
punishment
,
as
ceasing
from
being
a
Judge
,
and
becoming
a
wrong
doer
,
and
an
oppressor
,
which
what
it
is
to
be
,
many
of
thy
Predecessors
have
understood
:
some
by
death
,
others
by
fine
and
imprisonment
:
And
of
this
thou
may'st
not
be
ignorant
,
that
to
deny
a
prisoner
any
of
the
priviledges
the
Law
allowes
him
,
is
to
deny
him
justice
,
to
try
him
in
an
arbitrary
way
,
to
rob
him
of
that
libertie

Edward
Pyot
.
By
which
Letter
it
is
manifest
,
that
upon
their
tryall
,
no
accuser
nor
accusation
came
in
against
them
,
as
to
the
cause
of
their
Commitment
,
nor
indeed
could
any
of
the
allegations
in
the
Warrant
ETCETERA
bear
weight
in
Law
,
as
hath
been
demonstrated
;
Nevertheless
set
at
libertie
they
were
not
,
though
they
suffred
nine
weekes
wrong
Imprisonment
,
and
such
other
abuses
as
hath
been
mentioned
:
but
after
all
the
diligent
searchings
of
whatsoever
could
be
thought
on
wherewithall
to
accuse
them
,
in
order
to
their
further
sufferings
,
nothing
appearing
as
to
what
they
could
be
charged
,
that
the
Law
of
the
Land
found
fault
with
,
matter
was
sought
after
as
to
the
Law
of
their
God
,
in
obedience
to
which
they
were
sure
to
find
them
,
without
respecting
of
persons
[
which
who
so
doth
,
commits
Sin
,
and
is
committed
of
the
Law
as
a
transgressor
;
]
therefore
an
Indictment
grounded
on
no
Law
,
was
before
hand
made
ready
,
upon
confidence
they
would
stand
in
the
Court
covered
,
when
they
should
be
called
:
and
they
appearing
so
when
they
were
called
,
in
conscience
to
the
Law
of
God
,
not
out
of
any
contempt
of
them
,
or
of
Authoritie
,
which
they
owned
as
hath
been
said
,
they
were
fined
in
twenty
Markes
a
piece
,
and
sentenced
to
prison
till
payment
,
so
and
in
such
manner
as
hath
been
expressed
;
and
so
to
the
Prison
were
they
returned
by
command
of
the
Judg
,
and
by
order
,
signed
John
Glynne
,
[
who
hath
caused
,
and
taken
upon
himself
the
sufferings
of
the
innocent
,
where
P.
Ceelyes
Warrant
could
not
further
reach
]
are
they
there
kept
to
this
day
,
and
the
Countrey
returned
with
this
answer
to
their
great
expectations
,
that
notwithstanding
the
loud
outcry
that
had
been
made
,
and
strange
reports
concerning
these
men
,
when
it
came
to
the
tryall
,
nothing
could
be
laid
to
their
charge
:
but
because
in
conscience
to
the
command
of
the
Lord
,
who
requires
that
the
person
of
no
man
be
respected
,
they
could
not
put
off
their
hats
,
though
they
so
declared
to
the
Court
,
and
that
they
stood
not
covered
in
contempt
of
Authority
,
or
in
disrespect
to
any
mans
person
,
but
for
that
cause
;
and
though
they
owned
Authority
,
and
pleaded
▪
they
were
fined
,
and
imprisoned
till
payment
for
not
putting
off
their
hats
,
which
no
Law
of
God
,
or
man
required
,
nor
was
any
Law
,
or
Instance
of
either
,
or
example
of
Heathens
,
or
others
on
record
in
Scripture
produced
,
upon
their
often
desires
in
that
particular
,
instead
of
being
freed
after
their
long
imprisonment
,
and
other
sufferings
without
a
cause
:
and
this
with
what
hath
been
aforesaid
is
the
Justice
,
and
measure
,
which
the
righteous
and
just
one
hath
received
in
these
in
whom
he
worketh
,
and
is
made
manifest
from
the
chief
Justice
of
England
,
for
that
in
obedience
unto
it
they
stood
before
him
with
their
hats
on
,
of
which
all
the
Cases
and
Records
in
this
Nation
,
of
those
who
have
preceded
him
,
affords
not
a
parallel
;
and
so
hath
it
pleased
the
wisdom
of
God
,
that
by
a
hat
,
such
a
base
thing
,
all
the
Religion
,
and
Justice
of
this
high
professing
generation
should
be
tried
and
confounded
;
and
by
a
thing
that
is
not
,
the
things
that
are
,
should
be
brought
to
nought
.
Upon
their
being
returned
to
Prison
,
by
order
of
the
chief
Justice
as
aforesaid
,
the
Gaoler
was
somewhat
earnest
to
know
whether
they
would
pay
their
Fines
,
(
being
very
desirous
to
be
rid
of
them
,
for
that
their
being
there
had
been
a
great
curb
to
the
prophane
swearing
,
and
drinking
,
and
cursing
,
and
blaspheming
,
and
gaming
,
used
by
them
who
came
to
drink
strong-drink
in
his
house
,
and
to
use
vain
pleasure
in
the
prison
green
,
and
therein
a
hindrance
to
his
profit
:
for
such
Persons
being
by
the
prisoners
often
reprov'd
,
as
they
were
movings
from
the
Lord
,
for
the
evils
aforesaid
,
had
little
mind
to
frequent
his
house
)
which
Fines
,
when
after
a
few
dayes
he
saw
they
were
resolv'd
not
to
satisfie
,
and
so
their
imprisonment
like
to
continue
;
The
evill
spirit
which
to
that
time
was
much
chain'd
,
began
to
be
let
loose
in
him
,
and
taking
encouragement
from
the
proceedings
of
P.
Ceely
,
and
the
Judg
against
them
,
and
perceiving
thereby
how
they
were
delivered
up
as
Persons
on
whom
any
manner
of
iniquitie
,
and
violence
,
and
crueltie
might
be
exercised
without
being
called
to
account
,
and
punished
for
the
same
[
Capt.
Fox
his
Cornet
having
also
openly
said
in
the
Prison
to
these
prisoners
faces
,
that
if
they
slew
them
who
should
gainsay
it
?
or
killed
them
,
or
shed
their
blood
,
and
that
they
were
not
to
be
protected
]
he
began
to
exercise
his
Salvage
will
,
and
beastly
lusts
upon
them
,
which
had
its
effects
in
the
batbarous
,
cruell
,
and
unreasonable
usages
now
to
be
declared
,
and
so
now
comes
to
act
his
part
in
their
sufferings
,
as
had
P.
Ceely
,
and
the
chief
Justice
.
When
they
were
first
brought
into
prison
by
vertue
of
P.
Ceelies
Warrant
ETCETERA
,
the
three
prisoners
aforesaid
agreed
with
the
keeper
and
his
wife
,
for
meat
and
drink
,
chamber
,
and
all
other
accommodations
,
at
a
certain
rate
for
themselves
,
and
Benjamin
Maynard
[
who
for
standing
still
in
Lanceston
Steeple-house
,
and
speaking
not
a
word
,
till
violent
hands
were
laid
on
him
,
and
he
haled
near
the
dore
,
was
committed
as
is
hereafter
more
at
large
mentioned
]
with
this
condition
,
that
if
he
or
they
should
for
the
time
to
come
be
unsatisfied
with
,
or
dislike
to
hold
on
according
to
that
agreement
,
the
party
so
disliking
might
breake
of
at
any
weekes
end
,
and
the
prisoners
were
to
ptovide
for
themselves
:
and
from
the
time
of
this
agreement
,
they
every
week
paid
the
said
weekly
summe
,
and
something
over
;
Nevertheless
he
repined
thereat
behind
their
backs
,
and
grudg'd
to
the
people
of
the
Town
and
Countries
:
of
which
the
prisoners
being
informd
,
and
that
the
Gaoler
had
said
a
few
dayes
before
to
his
wife
,
make
an
end
with
them
at
the
end
of
the
week
,
with
many
reproachfull
speeches
before
divers
people
,
when
the
weeke
was
at
an
end
,
one
of
them
asked
the
Gaolers
wife
,
whether
she
and
her
husband
were
unsatisfied
to
continue
to
diet
them
according
to
the
foresaid
agreement
,
acquainting
her
with
what
they
were
informed
her
husband
had
said
,
and
if
they
were
not
satisfied
they
should
speak
plainly
,
for
they
so
meant
,
and
intended
to
deal
with
them
,
and
so
to
be
dealt
with
desired
,
and
not
to
be
reproached
,
and
abused
behind
their
backs
,
and
this
they
were
desirous
to
know
,
that
they
might
otherwise
provide
for
their
dyet
;
to
which
she
answered
,
that
she
and
her
husband
were
both
well
satisfied
to
dyet
them
as
before
,
and
so
they
continued
as
formerly
.
Yet
the
evill
spirit
in
the
goaler
,
was
not
at
rest
,
but
manifested
it self
in
rage
,
and
cruelty
before
that
week
was
ended
;
For
Benjamin
Maynard
having
put
up
a
paper
in
the
prison
green
against
pleasures
,
the
Gaoler
(
the
evening
before
the
last
day
of
that
week
)
broke
forth
in
great
fury
against
them
,
and
abuses
,
and
by
the
haire
of
the
head
put
Benjamin
Maynard
down
into
Doomesdale
,
amongst
the
fellons
,
reviling
,
and
reproaching
him
,
and
the
other
prisoners
exceedingly
,
which
though
they
heard
,
yet
they
let
the
Gaoler
alone
,
neither
coming
at
him
,
nor
speaking
unto
him
,
but
kept
their
Chamber
;
Notwithstanding
at
his
return
from
putting
Benjamin
into
Doomesdale
,
he
came
up
to
them
in
his
rage
,
and
anger
,
and
as
before
,
so
again
to
their
faces
he
called
them
both
the
night
and
the
next
morning
,
Rogues
,
Stinking
Knaves
,
Jesuits
,
Salvages
,
and
Runnagats
,
with
such
other
filty
language
,
as
it
came
into
his
mind
,
threatning
to
put
them
into
Doomesdale
,
and
to
put
Irons
upon
them
,
with
oaths
and
Curses
not
fit
to
be
mentioned
,
calling
all
their
friends
that
came
to
visite
them
in
prison
,
Rogues
,
and
Whores
,
saying
that
he
would
break
their
leggs
,
and
necks
if
any
came
there
again
;
and
when
they
told
him
of
his
uncivill
,
and
uncomely
behaviour
towards
them
,
and
of
his
filthy
communication
,
and
wicked
Oaths
and
Curssings
,
he
reviled
them
the
more
,
calling
them
Beggarly
Rogues
,
and
affirming
them
to
be
the
Scum
of
the
Country
;
bidding
them
to
kiss
and
put
their
noses
into
that
,
which
modesty
forbeares
to
mention
;
and
threatned
to
order
them
as
Rogues
,
deceivers
&
deluders
,
and
to
lay
them
fast
enough
,
before
he
had
done
with
them
,
and
so
fastened
the
dore
uppon
them
.
And
he
then
declared
that
he
would
not
diet
them
as
formerly
for
Fourty
shillings
a
week
,
and
at
another
time
not
under
forty
.
Having
thus
declared
his
dislike
to
diet
them
,
the
week
being
ended
(
according
to
their
agreement
at
first
,
as
hath
been
said
)
the
prisoners
were
at
their
own
dispose
to
provide
for
themselves
,
and
to
it
were
necessitated
by
him
,
in
regard
he
said
he
would
not
diet
them
as
formerly
for
forty
shillings
a
week
,
and
having
given
him
a
sufficient
rate
before
,
that
his
extortive
demand
they
could
not
answer
,
and
therefore
sent
for
a
maid
of
the
town
,
and
agreed
with
her
,
as
their
servant
,
to
supply
them
with
necessaries
,
promising
her
wages
,
and
gave
her
monie
to
provide
for
them
,
according
to
their
order
,
and
to
bring
it
to
them
in
the
prison
.
But
at
the
first
meat
she
brought
them
,
the
Gaoler
,
and
his
wife
were
so
enraged
,
that
they
abused
the
maid
and
them
,
calling
her
filthy
names
,
as
she
past
forth
,
and
threatned
to
make
her
suffer
for
it
if
ever
she
came
again
;
And
told
them
,
that
they
had
an
order
to
Victuall
all
prisoners
in
their
custody
;
that
it
was
●gainst
the
Law
,
and
order
of
the
prison
,
that
any
prisoner
there
should
have
any
provisions
brought
into
them
by
their
own
servants
,
or
others
;
that
none
should
bring
their
meat
,
or
drink
,
or
any
provisions
;
and
that
if
they
would
have
any
provisions
of
meat
or
drink
,
they
should
have
it
of
them
,
or
they
should
have
none
;
And
although
he
had
so
much
repined
behind
their
backs
at
the
agreed
Rate
,
and
reproached
them
,
and
had
bid
his
wife
at
the
end
of
the
week
to
make
an
end
with
them
;
and
both
to
their
faces
,
and
behind
their
backs
,
had
declared
he
would
not
do
as
he
had
done
for
forty
shillings
a
week
,
nor
under
forty
;
and
though
in
their
agreement
if
either
disliked
,
at
any
weeks
end
,
he
or
they
that
did
so
dislike
might
break
off
;
and
though
he
it
was
that
did
dislike
as
aforesaid
,
and
so
both
by
agreement
and
necessity
,
were
they
to
seek
out
to
supply
themselves
,
as
hath
been
expressed
;
Yet
from
that
very
time
aforesaid
,
would
he
not
suffer
their
servant
to
bring
them
any
provisions
at
all
;
but
when
she
came
the
next
morning
to
see
what
they
wanted
,
he
lockt
the
door
upon
her
,
and
kept
her
prisoner
,
and
would
not
let
her
come
into
their
Chamber
,
whom
he
had
made
close
prisoners
,
but
sent
for
a
sergeant
,
and
took
her
away
with
an
arrest
,
unto
which
she
having
given
Baile
,
she
came
with
a
pitcher
of
water
to
the
prisoners
,
and
called
at
the
Gaole
doore
for
it
to
be
opened
,
that
she
might
go
in
therewith
;
But
he
coming
to
the
doore
himself
,
denyed
her
entrance
,
brake
her
pitcher
,
threatned
,
and
much
abused
her
.
The
prisoners
hereby
seeing
the
unreasonableness
,
and
oppression
of
the
Gaoler
,
and
how
he
would
have
it
of
Necessitie
that
all
prisoners
must
be
provided
for
by
him
,
and
at
what
rate
he
pleased
,
whatever
were
their
Conditions
;
and
how
that
in
order
thereunto
he
pretended
,
and
pleaded
a
Law
,
and
order
of
the
Gaole
,
and
a
determination
of
it
so
by
the
Justices
of
the
County
at
Sessions
,
and
the
Judges
in
their
Circuits
,
but
could
produce
no
such
thing
.
when
of
him
they
desired
it
.
And
being
informed
,
that
the
under-Gaoler
had
cruelly
beat
a
prisoner
for
bying
a
loafe
of
bread
at
a
bakers
,
which
was
bigger
and
better
bread
then
they
had
of
the
keeper
,
and
that
the
woman
prisoners
were
not
suffered
to
take
in
work
from
the
townes
people
that
gave
them
monie
,
but
were
kept
at
work
by
the
Gaoler
,
for
which
he
gave
them
neither
bread
nor
monie
;
And
lest
the
Gaoler
should
make
them
Presidents
to
those
who
should
come
after
in
this
case
of
provisions
;
as
he
would
make
those
who
heretofore
had
yeilded
to
his
unreasonableness
,
Presidents
to
them
,
though
they
could
have
been
content
that
he
should
diet
and
make
again
upon
them
as
formerly
;
yet
upon
the
considerations
aforesaid
,
&
for
that
he
sought
to
force
them
to
that
,
which
was
in
their
freedomes
to
do
,
or
not
to
do
,
and
that
upon
a
pretence
of
Law
and
order
,
which
there
is
none
;
they
saw
themselves
bound
in
duty
to
God
,
and
love
to
their
Nation
,
to
beare
their
Testimony
against
his
Cruelty
,
and
oppression
,
as
against
all
unrighteousness
,
where
ever
they
find
it
,
and
to
denie
those
his
demands
,
whatsoever
sufferings
it
should
cost
them
from
his
unreasonableness
as
the
price
thereof
.
And
because
upon
the
necessary
and
just
grounds
aforesaid
they
denied
him
therein
,
upon
them
he
powred
out
his
outragious
,
and
bruitish
Crueltie
,
and
into
a
low
place
in
the
prison
called
Domesdale
,
the
9
of
the
second
month
he
cast
them
,
where
the
fellones
are
secured
,
out
of
which
he
took
the
fellons
before
their
faces
,
and
put
them
into
a
Chamber
over
their
heads
,
locking
these
prisoners
into
this
noysome
,
filthy
stinking
hole
,
where
was
a
Puddle
of
Piss
,
and
filth
over
their
shoes
,
and
the
excrements
of
the
fellons
,
and
the
fellons
straw
,
almost
broken
to
Chaffe
,
with
their
long
lying
thereon
,
and
full
of
vermin
,
and
wherein
is
neither
Chimney
,
nor
easing
house
;
And
in
this
poysonous
den
having
cast
and
made
them
sure
,
he
refused
to
let
the
doore
be
opened
for
the
cleansing
of
the
place
,
or
so
much
as
for
the
bringing
in
of
a
little
fresh
straw
for
them
to
lodge
in
;
And
when
in
the
evening
he
opened
the
doore
,
it
was
to
let
in
some
of
his
Consorts
,
viz.
Degorie
Pearse
,
Francis
Oliver
,
and
William
Walsh
,
wicked
and
prophane
men
,
to
abuse
them
,
(
who
being
filled
with
strong
drink
,
called
them
Rogues
,
Knaves
,
and
Rascals
,
with
other
cursing
,
envious
,
and
revilling
language
;
whom
when
it
was
told
,
that
such
were
to
be
ruled
by
the
Law
,
and
were
asked
whether
they
owned
Justices
,
one
of
them
expressed
himself
exceeding
filthylie
of
Justice
:
)
but
four
of
the
prisoners
friends
coming
in
to
see
them
when
the
dore
was
opened
to
let
in
those
vile
men
aforesaid
:
the
Goaler
would
not
let
them
go
out
again
;
but
lockt
them
in
also
,
and
when
the
prisoners
spake
to
him
to
let
them
out
,
he
called
the
prisoners
damnd
dogges
of
Egypt
,
and
kept
those
friends
prisoners
there
all
night
,
as
he
beat
and
struck
with
a
great
staff
two
of
them
,
till
one
of
their
armes
was
black
,
for
accompanying
them
from
their
chamber
to
this
filthy
hole
;
of
which
they
complained
to
the
Major
of
the
Town
,
but
he
took
no
notice
thereof
.
Nor
was
he
with
all
this
his
inhumane
and
unmercifull
dealing
satisfied
,
but
about
the
10.
hour
in
the
night
,
he
came
into
the
roome
over
their
heads
,
with
a
company
who
were
drunk
,
and
stampt
the
dust
down
upon
their
heads
and
called
them
rogues
and
other
filthy
names
,
and
on
purpose
he
threw
a
pot
of
excrements
,
and
pist
down
upon
their
heads
,
and
on
their
fire
,
to
put
it
out
,
which
was
made
to
cleanse
away
the
stinking
ayre
:
and
the
next
night
he
came
again
,
and
stamped
the
dust
down
on
their
heads
,
and
pist
into
this
place
where
he
had
set
them
,
and
threatned
to
put
them
into
Irons
,
and
to
chain
them
together
to
posts
,
and
to
nail
their
eares
to
a
post
,
and
gagge
their
mouths
,
and
called
them
hatchet-faced
dogges
,
and
damnd
dogges
of
Egypt
,
and
rogues
and
bad
them
kiss
,
and
lick
,
and
put
their
noses
into
that
which
is
offensive
to
modesty
to
express
,
and
said
he
would
do
what
he
could
,
that
they
might
ly
in
prison
and
rot
,
and
threatned
to
put
the
fellons
down
to
them
:
and
whereas
he
used
to
lodge
at
his
house
,
he
came
and
lay
over
their
heads
,
that
he
might
be
more
ready
to
abuse
them
:
and
12
s.
he
demanded
,
to
have
the
dore
of
that
loathsome
cell
to
stand
open
,
and
20
s.
a
weeke
for
a
chamber
.
Having
received
the
injuries
and
abuses
aforesaid
from
the
Goaler
,
they
asked
him
who
had
the
power
of
the
Goale
over
him
,
he
answered
nobody
,
but
that
the
land
&
houses
were
Coll.
Bennets
,
whom
he
said
,
he
had
fast
enough
under
his
hand
&
seal
,
&
when
they
answered
him
their
demand
was
not
whose
land
&
houses
it
was
,
but
who
had
the
power
over
the
prison
,
as
it
was
a
Prison
for
the
County
,
and
over
him
and
the
Prisoners
,
in
case
of
wrong
and
abuse
done
to
the
Prisoners
;
He
answered
,
No
body
but
himself
had
the
sole
power
.
Then
they
asked
him
,
whether
there
was
no
appeal
above
him
?
He
answered
,
no.
Then
they
asked
him
,
whether
the
Sheriff
had
no
power
over
him
,
and
the
Prisoners
,
if
Prisoners
should
appeal
to
him
because
of
abuse
from
their
Keeper
?
He
answered
,
the
Sheriff
had
nothing
to
do
,
neither
with
him
,
nor
his
Prisoners
;
and
added
as
an
argument
,
that
when
any
were
condemned
to
be
hang'd
,
that
the
Sheriff
had
nothing
to
do
to
come
into
the
Castle
Prison
,
but
the
Keeper
was
to
deliver
the
Prisoners
at
the
Castle
gate
to
the
Sheriff
.
Then
they
asked
kim
,
whether
the
Justices
of
the
County
had
any
thing
at
all
to
do
with
him
in
the
case
as
aforesaid
?
He
answered
,
that
the
Justices
of
the
County
had
nothing
at
all
to
do
with
him
.
Then
they
asked
him
,
whether
the
Mayor
of
the
Town
had
any
thing
to
do
with
him
in
such
case
?
He
answered
,
If
the
Mayor
come
there
,
(
meaning
the
Prison
)
he
would
put
him
by
the
heels
.
This
horrible
tyrannie
of
the
Goaler
,
and
impudent
affirming
that
none
had
power
over
him
,
to
whom
appeal
might
be
made
by
the
Prisoners
,
as
to
the
abuses
they
received
of
him
:
Neither
Sheriff
,
nor
Justices
,
nor
Mayor
,
to
call
him
to
account
,
but
that
he
had
the
sole
power
,
and
that
above
him
there
was
no
appeal
,
occasioned
a
Representation
of
the
cruel
usages
aforesaid
,
and
of
what
he
affirmed
of
his
having
the
sole
power
of
the
Goal
,
and
of
his
being
accountable
to
any
for
what
he
did
,
to
be
drawn
for
the
Justices
,
whose
Sessions
at
Bodmin
was
near
,
unto
whom
it
was
sent
for
them
,
and
delivered
to
Captain
Braddon
by
one
of
the
Town
,
who
witnessed
to
the
particulars
.
Which
when
Captain
Braddon
had
read
,
he
assured
those
Friends
that
brought
it
,
to
acquaint
the
Justices
therewith
,
and
in
a
convenient
season
.
When
about
a
dozen
Justices
were
together
,
the
Relation
,
and
the
Friend
,
who
was
an
eye-witness
of
passages
,
was
called
for
,
and
before
the
Countrey
did
they
cause
it
publickly
to
be
read
,
and
manifested
much
sense
of
their
injurious
sufferings
,
which
they
spake
unto
in
the
behalf
of
the
Prisoners
,
and
against
the
Goaler
,
and
declared
,
that
the
Prisoners
were
not
Rogues
,
nor
Thieves
,
nor
Murtherers
,
nor
were
committed
or
sued
,
neither
should
they
be
so
used
,
and
that
their
persons
deserved
better
usage
;
and
sharply
reproving
the
Goaler
for
his
demanding
12
s.
to
have
Doomsdale-door
open
to
them
,
and
20
s.
a
week
for
a
Chamber
,
they
asked
him
,
whether
he
had
got
men
to
make
a
purchase
of
,
and
told
him
they
should
not
pay
a
penny
.
And
Captain
Braddon
publickly
declared
,
that
he
would
be
security
for
their
true
imprisonment
,
that
so
they
might
be
delivered
out
of
that
noysome
den
,
and
from
out
of
the
Keepers
power
and
cruelty
;
and
gave
himself
security
in
a
100
l.
of
his
own
voluntary
accord
for
their
true
imprisonment
,
as
he
signified
to
the
Prisoners
in
a
Letter
.
And
the
Justices
ordered
the
Goaler
to
put
them
out
of
Dooms-dale
.
But
further
they
proceeded
not
with
him
than
hath
been
rehearsed
,
he
being
not
theirs
,
but
Colonel
Bennet's
Deputy
,
who
then
was
not
at
the
Sessions
.
And
thus
did
the
Justices
,
(
of
which
P.
Ceely
was
none
)
particularly
Captain
Braddon
)
carry
themselves
like
men
,
who
had
a
sense
of
the
injurious
sufferings
of
others
,
and
like
Ministers
of
the
Law
,
whom
the
spirit
of
Justice
ruled
,
which
is
noble
,
and
honourable
,
and
gives
a
good
savour
.
The
Justices
declaring
themselves
in
the
behalf
of
the
Prisoners
,
and
ordering
their
removal
out
of
Dooms-dale
,
as
aforesaid
;
and
Edward
Piot
being
fallen
very
dangerously
sick
of
a
Feaver
,
to
the
hazard
of
his
life
,
by
reason
of
the
poysonous
stench
of
that
unwholsome
place
,
(
which
continued
upon
him
many
dayes
)
put
the
Goaler
under
fear
what
would
become
of
him
,
which
not
onely
caused
him
to
command
the
Prisoners
(
three
dayes
after
his
return
from
the
Sessions
)
out
of
Dooms-dale
,
after
they
had
been
kept
there
for
the
space
of
13
dayes
,
(
who
till
he
so
commanded
them
forth
)
had
not
freedome
to
stir
,
though
the
doors
were
set
open
)
into
the
Chamber
where
they
were
before
,
but
kept
him
somewhat
orderly
and
quiet
awhile
,
permitting
provisions
to
be
brought
to
them
,
and
Friends
to
v●sit
them
as
they
would
.
But
in
this
temper
he
abode
not
long
,
for
seeing
that
he
was
not
turned
out
of
his
place
,
which
was
threatned
,
and
by
him
feared
;
and
that
no
justice
was
executed
upon
him
,
which
he
deserved
,
his
fears
by
degrees
began
to
go
off
him
,
and
his
heart
to
be
hardned
,
and
the
beastly
spirit
in
him
to
act
as
bad
,
yea
,
more
wickedly
than
before
;
and
not
onely
did
he
cruelly
intreat
them
,
and
some
other
Friends
of
Truth
in
Prison
himself
,
as
is
hereafter
to
be
rehearsed
,
but
set
on
,
and
permitted
other
of
his
prisoners
,
wicked
and
prophane
men
,
to
deal
with
them
after
the
same
manner
,
insomuch
that
their
lives
were
often
in
danger
by
those
bloody
men
,
who
thirsted
after
them
,
(
a
wickedness
not
to
be
endured
by
any
who
savour
the
least
of
justice
or
civillity
;
as
to
the
Law
it
is
contrary
,
and
to
all
good
Government
,
but
not
thought
bad
enough
to
be
exercised
on
the
innocent
servants
of
the
Lord
by
this
generation
)
in
which
to
be
particular
,
as
they
were
acted
,
would
exceed
the
bounds
of
this
short
Relation
,
being
the
daily
sufferings
in
this
kinde
for
several
months
,
and
therefore
no
more
of
them
is
set
down
at
this
time
,
than
was
drawn
up
,
and
sent
by
the
Prisoners
to
the
Justices
at
the
General
Sessions
for
the
County
of
Truro
,
the
12.
day
of
the
5.
month
,
1656.
which
is
as
followeth
.
For
the
Justices
of
the
County
of
Cornwall
,
at
their
Quarter
Sessions
held
at
Truro
,
These
.
Friends
,
YOV
that
be
in
Authority
,
and
have
the
Sword
to
do
Justice
,
and
are
to
weigh
,
judge
,
and
try
things
according
to
Equity
and
Justice
,
here
is
laid
down
before
you
some
of
the
violent
dealings
of
the
Keeper
of
the
Goal
towards
us
who
are
Prisoners
,
of
the
World
called
Quakers
,
the
ill
manners
,
ill
carriages
,
ill
behaviour
,
and
unchristian
life
,
oaths
,
drunkenness
,
and
prophaness
,
which
gives
an
ill
savour
,
and
an
ill
smell
,
which
the
Sword
of
Justice
is
to
be
turned
against
,
that
Judgement
may
run
down
,
and
the
ill
savour
stopt
.
More
honour
would
it
be
,
and
justice
for
such
an
ungodly
one
,
who
is
set
to
rule
over
us
,
and
Prisoners
,
to
be
ruled
over
,
and
more
fit
to
be
put
into
Prison
,
than
to
govern
a
Prison
,
and
to
be
a
chief
Keeper
in
Cornwall
,
who
is
a
Swearer
,
a
cursed
Speaker
,
often
drunk
,
almost
every
day
,
and
many
times
at
twelve
,
one
,
or
two
of
the
clock
at
night
,
his
Companions
singing
their
filthy
songs
,
and
sometimes
fidling
.
In
our
last
writing
unto
you
,
we
there
acquainted
you
with
what
was
past
,
here
are
some
fruits
which
have
proceeded
since
from
this
unsavoury
Keeper
against
us
,
that
you
may
see
and
behold
what
rules
and
governs
,
which
is
not
pleasing
to
God
nor
Man
,
that
hath
any
gravity
.
As
he
hath
daily
reviled
us
,
reproached
us
,
and
mis-named
us
,
so
hath
he
encouraged
others
,
fomenting
his
lyes
of
us
both
in
Town
and
Countrey
,
stirring
up
the
People
to
riot
upon
us
,
wishing
before
several
People
,
and
in
one
of
our
hearing
,
that
the
Town
would
rise
up
against
us
;
giving
us
threatning
challenges
,
George
Roach
,
under
a
pretence
of
speaking
to
us
of
Scriptures
,
(
who
was
brought
in
for
drinking
the
Kings
health
,
as
himself
said
)
and
when
a
Friend
spoke
to
him
,
he
threatned
he
would
run
his
knife
in
his
chops
.
It
was
told
the
Goaler
,
the
plot
was
discovered
,
and
afterwards
the
same
man
in
the
sight
of
the
Goalers
wife
,
came
with
a
naked
knife
behind
him
,
and
wicked
words
in
his
mouth
;
and
it
was
asked
,
what
he
had
behind
him
,
and
bid
him
let
's
see
what
he
had
in
his
hand
behind
him
,
and
after
a
little
time
we
did
see
that
he
had
a
naked
knife
in
his
hand
;
and
this
is
the
Goalers
man
to
talk
of
Scriptures
.
The
Goaler
being
told
of
it
,
he
answered
,
he
could
say
nothing
against
him
,
although
he
had
but
a
little
before
,
when
he
came
with
a
knife
behind
him
,
threatned
to
cut
our
faces
in
pieces
.
And
there
came
two
women
out
of
Wales
to
visit
us
Prisoners
,
one
of
which
was
a
Justices
sister
now
in
Commission
;
these
the
Goaler
abused
with
vile
expressions
,
calling
them
Edward
Pyot's
Whores
before
many
People
,
and
said
,
God
damn
him
,
and
many
noysome
words
and
oaths
,
with
threatning
what
he
would
do
to
them
,
calling
them
,
Scums
of
the
Countrey
.
And
a
Prisoner
very
much
abused
Edw.
Pyot
,
and
thrust
him
down
off
a
place
where
he
was
reading
,
and
speaking
some
Scriptures
.
He
acquainted
the
Goaler
with
it
,
but
the
Goaler
instead
of
reproving
him
that
did
the
abuse
,
laid
hands
on
Edw.
Pyot
,
and
did
thrust
him
up
and
down
,
calling
him
many
bad
and
filthy
names
,
threatning
to
strike
him
,
and
put
him
into
Dooms-dale
;
and
Edw.
Pyot
telling
him
that
he
should
acquaint
the
Justices
of
the
County
of
his
carriage
towards
us
,
he
answered
,
he
cared
not
for
the
Justices
,
they
had
nothing
to
do
with
him
,
nor
his
Prisoners
.
And
when
it
was
asked
him
,
whether
the
Justices
had
nothing
to
do
with
him
in
case
he
abused
his
Prisoners
,
he
answered
,
No
Sirrah
,
they
have
not
;
and
denyed
that
the
Justices
gave
him
any
rebuke
formerly
for
abusing
Prisoners
.
The
Goaler
being
drunk
on
a
first
day
,
(
as
he
hath
been
on
many
)
and
having
abused
us
,
and
mis-named
us
,
and
brawled
at
us
in
his
drunkenness
the
most
part
of
the
day
,
at
evening
a
wild
company
came
into
the
room
under
us
,
drinking
,
swearing
,
and
cursing
till
midnight
;
and
after
they
had
abused
us
much
in
language
,
they
said
they
would
drink
our
damnation
,
and
our
childrens
after
us
.
The
second
day
at
evening
,
he
was
drunk
again
,
and
Edw.
Pyot
not
being
well
,
sent
for
some
hot
drink
,
and
he
would
not
suffer
our
Friend
to
bring
it
to
him
,
but
called
her
Quean
,
and
Whore
,
and
swore
he
would
kick
her
;
and
about
one
of
clock
at
night
,
he
and
they
being
beastly
drunk
,
he
came
up
in
a
rage
,
and
barred
up
the
door
,
when
as
we
did
not
give
him
any
words
:
And
the
next
night
came
in
drunk
,
and
did
as
before
,
and
called
us
Rogues
,
and
Runnagates
,
and
reviled
us
with
vile
expressions
,
not
fit
to
be
mentioned
.
And
this
unsavoury
smell
goes
abroad
with
stinks
;
and
when
he
is
told
of
the
Justices
rebuke
for
abusing
of
Prisoners
,
he
saith
,
It
's
a
small
matter
for
the
Justices
to
call
a
man
Knave
.
We
having
a
Friend
brought
to
Prison
(
though
not
transgressing
any
Law
)
for
speaking
to
a
Priest
after
his
time
,
Joseph
Cole
,
hath
been
much
abused
in
Prison
by
the
fore-mentioned
Roach
,
a
Prisoner
,
whom
the
Goaler
brought
to
talk
of
Scriptures
,
who
threatned
to
stab
and
cut
our
faces
to
pieces
with
his
knife
.
This
wicked
and
prophane
fellow
hath
beat
Joseph
Cole
so
,
as
he
hath
drawn
blood
of
him
,
and
struck
his
head
against
the
wall
,
and
astonish'd
him
,
and
hath
taken
away
his
hat
,
so
that
he
hath
gone
without
his
hat
almost
ever
since
the
time
of
his
imprisonment
.
The
rude
fellow
before
mentioned
,
beat
James
Mires
Prisoner
,
committed
by
Justice
Nicholls
,
so
as
he
drew
blood
of
him
also
,
and
cut
his
flesh
.
And
the
same
man
did
beat
and
strike
Benjamin
Maynard
,
very
nigh
six
months
since
committed
by
Recorder
Gewen
,
(
who
stood
in
the
Steeple-house
,
and
said
nothing
to
the
Priest
nor
People
,
till
he
was
haled
towards
the
door
.
)
And
from
time
to
time
,
this
deboyst
,
unruly
,
and
mischievous
fellow
hath
abused
friends
,
threatning
their
lives
,
breaking
their
bones
,
tearing
their
flesh
off
their
backs
,
sometimes
swearing
he
would
not
eat
nor
drink
till
he
had
done
it
;
a
common
Swearer
,
a
filthy
Curser
,
and
often
drunk
.
And
when
Friends
have
demanded
the
hat
of
him
,
and
spoken
to
him
to
be
moderate
,
he
hath
answered
with
an
oath
,
that
he
would
cut
the
hat
in
pieces
,
and
that
which
he
had
done
he
had
order
for
.
And
the
Goaler
from
time
to
time
being
told
of
these
abuses
,
never
reproved
him
,
but
sometimes
answered
,
he
could
not
help
it
,
and
that
he
could
finde
no
fault
with
him
,
(
envy
and
malice
was
alwayes
blind
.
)
Another
time
,
to
uphold
and
countenance
him
in
his
often
wicked
practises
,
accused
us
of
Mutinies
,
who
are
sufferers
under
the
abusive
tongues
both
of
the
Goaler
,
and
Roach
.
And
the
said
Roach
threatens
to
tear
the
flesh
off
William
Salt's
back
,
and
that
he
would
kick
Edw.
Pyot
,
swearing
God
damn
him
,
rot
him
,
and
sink
him
,
what
he
would
do
unto
us
.
And
this
is
the
Goalers
company
,
with
whom
he
can
finde
no
fault
,
(
as
he
saith
)
but
are
drunk
together
day
by
day
,
and
in
their
drunkenness
come
brawling
and
beating
Prisoners
,
and
glory
in
what
they
have
done
.
And
the
Goalers
wife
hearing
the
Prisoners
were
beaten
,
she
said
,
if
she
were
a
man
,
she
would
beat
them
too
.
And
thus
the
bond
of
Iniquity
is
strengthened
against
the
Innocent
;
and
the
Goaler
himself
hath
not
onely
encouraged
,
but
done
the
same
thing
;
for
he
struck
James
Mires
with
a
great
cane
,
and
beat
Benjamin
Maynard
with
a
great
cane
about
his
head
,
back
,
and
arms
,
with
many
blows
;
he
beat
him
almost
from
Dooms-dale
to
the
Castle-gate
.
And
there
coming
in
a
Maid
of
the
Town
,
a
Friend
to
visit
us
the
Prisoners
,
the
Goaler
locked
her
up
in
the
Prison
with
Friends
,
and
said
,
ye
Rogues
want
a
Whore
,
and
kept
her
in
Prison
six
hours
,
and
after
came
and
tore
her
cloaths
off
her
neck
,
and
rent
them
to
pieces
,
and
stampt
them
under
his
foot
,
and
beat
her
with
a
cane
out
of
the
Prison
,
and
after
she
was
out
,
he
beat
her
to
the
ground
twice
;
and
the
cruel
merciless
fellow
beat
her
after
he
had
amazed
and
astonish'd
her
,
and
knock'd
her
down
,
that
her
head
was
much
bruised
,
her
body
and
arms
exceeding
black
;
and
this
before
many
Witnesses
,
which
cryed
shame
upon
him
.
He
hath
endeavoured
by
all
means
to
hinder
Necessaries
to
be
brought
to
us
.
One
of
the
Town
,
who
served
us
in
these
things
formerly
,
he
arrested
for
coming
into
his
house
,
(
which
suit
is
yet
depending
)
and
he
forbidding
any
of
the
Town
,
we
have
a
Friend
that
came
from
London
,
who
provides
for
us
our
diet
,
whom
he
hath
much
abused
,
struck
her
on
the
back
with
a
stick
,
another
time
kick'd
her
,
and
almost
every
day
brawling
at
her
,
and
threatning
her
,
and
calling
her
the
worst
names
he
can
think
of
.
Another
Woman
,
who
brought
necessaries
to
the
Prisoners
,
he
met
,
and
called
her
Whore
,
and
Bitch
,
and
if
ever
she
came
there
again
,
he
said
he
would
beat
her
so
,
that
she
should
not
be
able
to
go
forth
out
of
the
Castle
,
but
should
be
carried
forth
on
a
Wheel-barrow
.
And
he
threatens
Benjamin
Maynard
so
,
as
that
he
would
make
him
kneel
down
,
and
ask
him
forgiveness
;
and
said
,
he
hoped
to
see
him
burned
in
the
shoulder
,
and
naked
at
a
Gallows
.
Anne
Blakeling
coming
to
visit
us
before
she
was
committed
,
he
denyed
her
to
come
to
us
,
and
threw
her
out
into
the
street
,
and
there
beat
her
with
a
great
cudgell
,
giving
her
filthy
language
,
and
names
.
It
is
hard
to
believe
,
and
harder
to
r●late
the
unchristian
and
inhumane
carriage
of
this
ungodly
Goaler
,
and
his
ungodly
company
,
daily
towards
us
,
and
our
Friends
that
come
to
visit
us
,
calling
us
Rogues
and
Rascals
,
Thiev●sh
Knaves
,
deluding
Dogs
,
Jesuits
,
beggarly
Rogues
,
Vagabonds
,
and
scums
of
the
Countrey
,
damn'd
Dogs
,
and
hatchet-fac'd
Rogues
.
And
the
women
he
calls
scums
of
the
Countrey
,
Whores
,
salt
Bitches
,
and
other
unclean
and
filthy
names
and
terms
,
not
fit
to
be
named
by
modest
men
,
threatning
our
Friends
,
and
forbidding
them
to
come
to
us
,
driving
some
of
them
out
of
the
door
,
and
pretending
an
Order
,
that
none
shall
speak
with
us
but
what
the
Keeper
should
hear
,
and
threatning
us
with
Dooms-dale
,
the
Pit
,
and
double
Irons
,
saying
,
Sirrah
I
'le
double
iron
thee
,
and
put
thee
in
the
Dungeon
as
far
under
ground
as
it
is
above
.
How
now
you
Rogues
,
you
damn'd
Dogs
,
ye
scums
of
the
Countrey
.
I
'le
order
ye
,
and
your
Whores
and
salt
Bitches
which
come
after
ye
,
none
of
them
shall
come
here
.
And
this
is
his
common
course
;
hardly
a
day
passes
,
but
we
have
more
of
this
and
such
like
filth
,
and
his
wicked
inventing
of
lyes
upon
us
,
and
reporting
them
in
his
cups
amongst
his
drunken
Companions
,
who
are
in
that
generation
which
saith
,
report
,
and
we
will
report
it
.
He
hath
reported
,
that
some
of
us
said
he
should
be
hanged
at
his
door
,
and
that
his
children
should
be
tossed
on
spears
;
but
no
such
words
were
sp●ken
by
us
,
neither
any
thing
like
it
was
ever
in
our
hearts
.
And
there
came
the
Widow
Hambly
,
and
her
Sister
,
of
this
County
,
to
visit
us
,
which
because
he
slandred
,
and
because
we
kneeled
down
to
pray
together
he
reported
that
we
bowed
one
to
another
,
and
crossed
one
another
.
These
and
su●h
like
lying
stories
he
tells
to
his
Generation
,
that
is
given
up
to
believe
lyes
,
to
stir
up
the
rude
people
against
us
,
and
to
fill
the
town
and
Country
with
matter
of
reproaching
of
us
,
and
when
his
drunken
Companions
are
stuffed
with
his
lyes
,
and
drunk
with
his
Beer
,
then
they
are
fit
to
abuse
Prisoners
,
such
are
encouraged
by
our
Gaoler
,
those
have
free
access
who
believe
his
lyes
,
and
that
will
abuse
Prisoners
,
such
are
encouraged
by
him
,
who
should
preserve
us
from
the
injury
of
any
.
An
abusive
woman
,
a
light
scoffing
School
Mistris
(
who
is
untaught
her self
and
therefore
unfit
to
nurture
,
and
teach
children
)
is
suffered
to
come
unto
the
Prisoners
,
and
to
abuse
them
with
reproachfull
language
,
a●d
to
strike
them
,
and
a
promise
he
hath
that
her
Children
shall
put
their
hands
to
a
Petition
as
it
is
said
)
which
he
talks
of
,
but
our
friends
which
come
to
visit
us
he
affronteth
,
revileth
and
miscalls
with
all
the
ill
favoured
names
his
wicked
invention
can
think
of
.
Two
Justices
of
Peace
now
in
Commission
,
and
a
Justices
Brother
,
and
one
that
was
a
Captain
of
a
Troope
of
Horse
,
these
he
called
scums
of
the
Countrie
,
and
Runnagate
Rogues
,
and
Raskals
to
their
faces
,
and
told
one
of
them
that
he
had
turned
better
of
the
stye
,
and
set
up
the
fore
mentioned
bad
man
,
who
is
a
Cavalier
,
brought
in
for
drinking
the
Kings
health
as
aforesaid
to
examine
our
friends
as
they
went
forth
,
which
made
the
Justices
to
admire
that
ever
such
a
man
should
be
put
in
place
,
and
said
he
wondred
that
men
that
had
any
moderation
,
or
but
a
forme
of
godliness
,
should
suffer
such
a
one
to
rule
,
or
be
put
into
a
place
of
trust
who
had
no
rule
over
himself
,
but
deserved
to
be
ruled
with
that
which
should
teach
him
better
manners
,
and
verily
,
where
there
is
any
measure
of
honesty
borne
up
,
It
will
bear
witness
against
such
unworthy
carriages
;
yea
some
of
the
Heathen
which
knows
not
God
could
not
own
,
nor
would
they
set
up
such
a
one
to
rule
over
men
,
he
is
so
malicious
,
and
so
bruitish
,
as
that
he
can
neither
be
civill
towards
us
himself
,
nor
think
any
body
should
.
Generall
Desborow
wrote
him
a
Letter
dated
in
April
last
,
that
we
should
be
civilly
used
,
and
he
is
so
far
from
observing
it
,
or
thinking
we
should
be
civilly
dealt
with
,
as
that
he
cannot
believe
the
letter
to
be
from
Generall
Disborow
,
but
saith
,
it
is
a
Counterfeit
.
Degorie
Pearse
was
reading
a
letter
of
lyes
against
friends
in
the
Castle
,
and
perverting
some
Scriptures
with
his
own
meanings
of
them
,
and
giving
Sauls
going
to
the
Witch
,
and
to
that
which
she
raised
up
,
for
an
example
or
Christians
,
affirming
that
was
the
Prophet
Samuel
that
the
Witch
had
raised
up
,
whereupon
Edward
Pyot
coming
into
the
Castle
,
and
speaking
to
some
of
the
people
against
this
Doctrine
,
the
Gaoler
came
to
him
,
and
laid
violent
hands
on
him
and
tore
his
Coate
,
and
punched
him
,
and
halled
him
,
and
thrust
him
towards
Domesdale
,
and
said
he
would
put
him
in
,
and
put
Irons
on
his
heels
,
and
reviled
him
,
and
called
him
reproachfull
names
.
Another
time
he
denyed
our
friends
to
come
in
to
us
,
We
civilly
asked
him
why
he
did
so
,
and
whether
he
had
any
order
to
deny
our
friends
from
coming
to
us
?
He
answered
us
with
an
oath
,
swearing
by
Gods
blood
,
and
holding
his
stick
to
strike
us
,
but
his
wife
stept
between
;
and
when
he
had
been
in
his
Cups
with
his
Companions
,
repeating
their
lyes
and
slanders
,
and
railing
upon
us
,
and
the
malice
,
envy
,
and
rage
stood
up
,
and
being
full
of
Beer
,
It
hath
been
as
much
as
his
wife
and
some
others
could
do
,
to
keep
him
down
from
us
,
asking
whether
he
would
murder
us
,
saying
she
thought
there
would
be
murder
one
time
or
other
;
and
when
we
afterwards
told
him
of
th
se
his
miscarriages
towards
us
,
and
of
his
evill
beating
of
Benjamin
Maynard
whom
he
said
if
he
had
killed
he
had
but
his
desert
,
and
that
he
may
expect
to
be
questioned
for
these
things
by
the
hand
of
justice
he
answered
so
stiffe
was
he
and
so
stubborn
)
that
he
would
not
be
ordered
by
the
Justices
,
they
should
not
order
him
,
he
would
find
sureties
fo
his
good
behaviour
.
There
coming
a
Cheese
to
us
,
which
Edward
Pyot
sent
for
,
the
Gaoler
meeting
with
it
hath
tak●n
it
from
us
and
as
he
said
,
would
carry
it
to
the
Mayor
to
have
it
searched
,
for
(
therefore
was
the
●atch
set
at
every
Gate
)
and
when
William
Salt
told
him
he
would
unrip
the
Cloath
the
Cheese
was
in
for
him
to
search
it
,
he
would
not
,
but
violently
took
it
from
him
.
There
was
a
woman
prisoner
committed
for
stealing
of
Cloth
,
who
said
when
she
was
apprehended
she
was
a
Quaker
(
as
t
is
said
)
which
is
false
,
and
since
denyed
by
her
,
that
she
said
so
,
but
all
such
we
deny
;
this
woman
is
suffered
to
abus●
,
and
strike
our
friend
Anne
Blackling
a
prisoner
,
who
asked
that
woman
why
she
took
the
name
of
Christ
in
vain
,
in
her
vain
light
songs
;
the
woman
curst
,
and
came
and
struck
our
friend
in
the
mouth
twice
with
her
fist
,
and
threatned
to
beat
out
her
Brains
,
and
to
pull
her
head
off
,
and
took
up
a
Pen
,
and
said
she
would
strike
it
in
her
eyes
,
and
that
if
she
spake
to
her
again
she
would
be
her
death
,
though
she
died
for
it
her self
.
The
Gaoler
being
made
acquainted
with
it
,
reproved
her
not
,
but
on
the
contrary
called
our
abused
friend
Whore
,
and
Witch
,
and
locked
her
up
close
prisoner
,
in
the
common
Gaole
amongst
those
accused
for
Bastards
,
where
accommodation
fit
for
Prisoners
is
wanting
.
And
this
is
the
unrighteous
measure
we
have
received
from
this
unrighteous
man
,
who
measures
to
us
evill
and
reproachfull
words
,
out
of
the
evill
treasure
of
his
evill
heart
.
And
Captain
Braddon
who
in
civillitie
to
us
,
(
which
we
much
own
,
and
a
Cup
of
cold
water
loseth
not
his
reward
)
giving
himself
in
a
hundred
pound
securitie
for
our
true
Imprisonment
,
freely
without
our
motion
,
that
we
might
be
freed
from
the
insulting
of
the
Gaoler
,
to
be
at
some
house
in
the
town
,
hath
by
it
purchased
many
slighting
and
unclean
words
,
and
threats
of
him
from
the
Gaoler
,
and
we
denyed
the
liberty
of
removing
(
which
we
press
the
Gaoler
too
,
both
formerly
and
now
of
late
within
this
12.
dayes
)
unless
we
would
give
him
the
securitie
of
two
men
,
which
he
calls
better
securitie
,
which
should
we
have
done
,
we
had
been
partakers
of
his
unworthiness
in
slighting
Captain
Braddons
securitie
.
And
these
things
are
declared
to
you
that
you
may
see
what
is
wanting
to
rule
,
and
what
it
is
that
rules
your
County
Gaol
,
the
fear
and
wisdome
of
God
yea
humanitie
is
wanting
,
and
the
transgressor
(
who
is
out
of
the
light
from
the
truth
,
equitie
,
and
righteousness
)
rules
,
on
which
the
sword
of
justice
is
to
be
laid
.

Another
carrying
a
Letter
to
an
Inne
was
thrust
out
into
the
Street
;
Not
that
we
look
at
man
are
these
written
,
but
that
we
may
be
cleared
of
the
wickedness
of
the
wicked
in
the
sight
of
God
which
is
our
strength
,
And
ye
that
are
Magistrates
to
do
justice
;
If
ye
are
Christian
Magistrates
and
rule
for
God
,
Do
your
office
that
nothing
raign
amongst
you
but
what
is
of
God
;
that
roport
gives
a
good
savour
;
when
righteousness
and
truth
is
set
up
,
the
Ordinance
which
is
to
be
obeyed
for
the
Lords
sake
,
which
is
according
to
his
will
,
in
which
we
rejoyce
,
in
this
we
are
subject
to
the
higher
powers
,
which
the
soul
must
be
subject
to
.
This
looseth
the
bonds
of
wickedness
,
takes
off
the
heavie
burthens
,
le
ts
the
op●ressed
go
free
,
and
breaks
every
yoake
.
So
consider
this
in
your
time
and
generation
that
you
are
to
fear
God
in
.
See
from
whom
you
are
,
and
whom
you
are
serving
,
for
of
the
Lord
God
must
you
have
,
every

of
you
a
reward
according
to
your
works
,
Therefore
do
justice
,
love
mercie
,
and
walk
humbly
with
God
,
This
doth
God
require
,
and
the
humilitie
goes
before
the
honour
.
This
is
the
day
of
your
visitation
,
and
salvation
unto
you
;
I
am
the
light
of
the
world
and
do
enlighten
every
man
that
cometh
into
the
world
,
saith
Christ
,
by
whom
the
world
was
made
,
who
bears
the
Government
upon
his
shoulders
,
who
is
come
to
reign
,
who
judgeth
righteously
without
respect
of
persons
.
Now
every
one
of
you
having
a
light
from
Christ
,
that
be
come
into
the
world
,
from
him
who
is
not
of
this
world
,
which
light
lets
you
see
your
sins
,
which
you
have
done
,
evill
deeds
you
have
committed
,
hard
speeches
you
have
spoken
,
which
if
you
love
the
light
;
that
is
it
that
maketh
manifest
ungodly
ways
,
ungodly
actions
,
ungodly
words
,
which
if
you
love
,
there
is
your
teacher
,
the
light
which
comes
from
Christ
,
who
saith
,
Learn
of
me
,
It
will
be
with
you
as
you
are
lying
on
your
Beds
,
and
and
as
y●u
are
in
your
occasions
,
and
if
you
hate
th●s
Light
you
forget
God
,
and
forget
Christ
,
and
seek
not
the
honour
that
comes
from
God
onely
,
but
from
one
another
.
Now
you
that
do
so
,
this
is
your
condemnation
,
the
light
,
saith
Christ
,
who
hates
it
,
this
light
which
comes
from
Christ
,
the
way
leads
you
off
all
world●y
ways
,
all
the
worldly
teachers
,
and
Doctrines
,
and
worships
,
Christ
the
way
to
worship
God
in
spirit
and
truth
,
The
Lord
is
coming
to
exalt
his
truth
.
The
powers
of
darkness
have
long
reigned
,
but
Christ
now
is
come
who
will
chain
them
,
which
will
answer
the
light
in
every
mans
conscience
,
and
judge
every
one
according
to
his
works
.
The
Lord
is
come
,
and
coming
to
teach
his
people
himself
by
his
spirit
,
and
to
gather
them
into
unitie
,
and
to
turn
them
from
darkness
to
light
,
and
the
power
of
Sathan
to
himself
,
and
to
bring
them
into
Covenant
with
himself
,
which
is
Christ
his
light
,
so
to
gather
into
the
one
truth
that
is
in
Christ
,
the
light
,
and
into
the
one
way
,
that
is
into
the
Light
Christ
,
and
into
the
one
Baptisme
,
the
Spirit
that
gave
forth
the
Scriptures
and
so
to
God
the
Father
of
Spirits
,
with
which
they
come
to
be
written
in
●ne
anothers
hearts
,
and
so
gather
them
out
of
all
sects
,
and
opinions
,
and
ways
,
where
is
all
the
strife
,
sedition
and
quarrelling
,
and
vain
contentious
spirits
who
be
out
of
the
light
,
that
gave
forth
Scriptures
.
Therefore
now
you
have
time
prize
it
,
It
is
the
day
of
your
visitation
,
and
salvation
to
you
all
proffered
to
the
light
in
all
your
consciences
I
speake
,
which
is
a
witness
for
the
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ
,
which
from
him
doth
come
which
manifesteth
the
sin
and
evill
,
that
is
not
of
the
truth
,
which
will
make
every
tongue
to
confess
Christ
to
the
glory
of
God
,
and
make
every
knee
to
bow
at
his
name
,
which
is
called
Immanuel
,
which
by
Interpretation
is
God
with
us
,
but
you
that
hate
this
light
,
it
will
be
your
condemnation
.

THe
Goaler
being
conscious
of
the
wickedness
he
had
acted
,
and
the
violence
he
had
exercised
upon
the
Prisoners
,
was
very
fearfull
what
should
become
of
him
,
if
so
be
a
Representation
thereof
should
be
made
to
●his
Sessions
,
as
what
he
had
done
before
was
to
the
last
,
(
which
he
expected
)
and
if
the
Justices
should
as
then
incline
to
the
Prisoners
.
Therefore
he
considered
what
he
should
do
to
save
himself
,
and
having
no
better
a
refuge
to
repair
unto
,
he
invented
a
parcell
of
notorious
lyes
,
(
viz.
)
that
some
of
the
Prisoners
should
say
he
should
be
hangd
at
his
door
,
and
that
his
Children
should
be
tossed
upon
Spears
,
and
that
they
would
tread
his
wife
under
foot
,
and
put
them
into
a
Petition
to
the
Sessions
in
way
of
complaint
against
the
Prisoners
whom
he
had
used
as
aforesaid
,
thereby
to
cover
his
unmercifull
cruelty
,
who
as
they
had
never
uttered
any
such
words
,
(
for
vengeance
the
children
of
light
leave
to
the
Lord
,
whose
it
is
,
and
who
will
repay
it
,
and
such
unsavouriness
from
them
proceedeth
not
)
so
never
entred
such
things
,
or
any
things
like
them
into
any
of
their
hearts
;
and
having
his
under-keeper
(
who
had
been
arraigned
for
Felony
)
to
swear
to
what
he
should
say
,
to
the
Sessions
at
Truro
he
went
,
taking
with
him
Benjamin
Maynarn
,
James
Mires
,
and
Joseph
Cole
,
but
Anne
Blacking
committed
by
Richard
Lobby
for
being
in
the
Country
,
he
would
not
bring
with
him
,
though
a
Horse
was
for
her
provided
by
some
friends
.
And
notwithstanding
the
condition
he
was
in
,
yet
unreasonableness
and
cruelty
being
his
nature
,
he
could
not
forbear
to
exe●cise
it
on
the
Prisoners
in
the
way
thither
,
though
he
knew
not
but
that
thei●'s
might
be
his
own
condition
ere
he
returned
,
●nd
that
what
he
now
did
to
them
,
might
aggravate
his
●ffence
and
increase
his
punishment
,
For
,
the
Prisoners
having
travelled
the
first
day
,
●hey
put
forth
20.
long
Cornish
miles
on
foot
,
being
weary
,
desired
there
to
rest
that
night
,
the
place
being
convenient
for
lodging
this
he
denyed
who
was
,
and
the
rest
with
him
,
on
horse
back●
and
abused
them
exceedingly
,
and
endeavoured
to
ride
over
them
with
his
horse
,
and
did
thrust
them
forwards
,
threatning
to
draw
them
at
his
horse
tayl
;
and
when
they
asked
him
whether
there
was
not
a
S●atute
,
that
Prisoners
should
not
be
compeld
to
travail
above
eight
miles
a
day
,
he
answered
he
cared
not
for
the
Statute
,
and
so
had
them
along
six
miles
further
,
and
when
they
came
to
Truro
he
put
them
into
a
little
close
room
,
which
though
the
Prisoners
paid
for
,
yet
suffered
he
them
there
to
be
abused
by
the
under
Keeper
,
and
Roath
aforesaid
(
whom
he
ought
to
have
protected
from
any
such
thing
)
and
their
friends
that
visited
them
to
be
also
abused
,
and
some
of
them
beaten
,
punch'd
,
and
kicke
,
and
many
unsavory
words
given
them
.
To
Thomas

of
the
sufferings
of

wrumpling
it
,
put
it
in

pocket

said
he
would
make
Mum
of

abused

slighting

and
Richard
L●bby
(

committed
Anne
Blackling
)
and
Justice

were

spirit
of
Justice
appeared
in
these
J●stices
,
as
ruled
in

Sessi●ns

whether

,
Let

For

it

Have

then
rejoyce
over

make
merry

and
send
gifts
one
unto

?
Is
not
the
day
of
the
Lord
at
hand
,
and
the
hour
of
his
righteous
judgement
,
wherein
he
will
himself
plead
the
cause
of
the
poor

needy
,
who
looketh
for
judgement
,
but
behold
oppression
,
for
righteousness
but
behold
a
Crie
?
will
not
his
soul
be
avenged
on
such
a
generation
as
this
?
The
Sessions
being
ended
the
Gaoler
returned
with
his
Prisoners
again
,
rid
of
his
fears
,
and
heightned
in
his
crueltie
,
of
which
he
was
not
wanting
presently
to
give
demonstration
,
boasting
much
concerning
what
the
Iustices
should
say
against
the
Prisoners
,
and
in
his
behalf
to
him
,
of
which
the
Prisoners
being
eare
witnesses
,
as
they
had
felt
the
rage
of
his
crueltie
(
the
effects
of
the
proceedings
of
the
Sessions
)
that
they
might
be
clear
of
the
blood
of
them
all
,
and
that
the
Iustices
might
not
thereof
be
ignorant
,
Edward
Pyot
and
William
Sale
wrote
to
them
two
letters
as
followeth
,
FRIENDS
,
SInce
the
Sessions
the
Gaoler
hath
received
such
encouragement
from
you
,
(
and
not
reproof
)
as
that
he
is
much
imboldned
to
act
his
wicked
mind
and
will
against
us
who
are
Prisoners
,
he
is
so
impudently
wicked
,
as
that
he
cannot
(
as
he
thinks
)
speake
bad
enough
to
us
,
and
of
us
,
nor
misbehave
himself
towards
us
,
we
are
his
sport
and
his
talk
among
his
drunken
Companions
,
and
all
sorts
of
people
where
he
comes
;
And
reports
that
Captain
Fox
,
and
Justice
Lobb
,
and
Justice
Gewen
said
that
Doomesdale
was
to
good
for
us
,
and
that
we
were
worse
than
Thieves
and
Murderers
,
and
not
fit
to
live
in
a
Common-wealth
,
and
another
Justice
said
that
we
could
not
be
used
bad
enough
,
And
that
of
thirteen
Justices
there
was
not
one
that
had
a
good
word
for
us
,
nor
one
that
had
a
bad
word
for
him
;
with
this
he
is
set
up
in
his
vain-glory
and
laughter
,
and
scoffing
and
scorning
with
that
prophane
fellow
Roach
and
the
rest
of
his
drunken
Companions
,
and
in
his
rage
against
us
and
our
friends
,
so
that
the
hand
of
the
wicked
is
strengthned
by
you
to
work
his
wickedness
against
us
;
wicked
he
was
,
before
,
but
now
he
is
become
more
desparately
wicked
,
swearing
such
oaths
that
it
would
grieve
any
heart
that
hath
any
honesty
,
to
hear
,
and
calling
us
such
filthie
names
,
as
we
have
not
usually
heard
,
and
threatning
us
with
Doomesdale
,
and
double
Irons
,
and
the
pit
,
and
holding
up
his
staffe
at
us
,
saying
he
would
beat
us
down
,
And
the
very
day
he
came
home
from
the
Sessions
,
he
could
not
forbear
a
day
to
abuse
us
,
he
called
us
many
bad
and
unsavory
names
,
and
said
now
he
would
take
a
course
with
us
and
order
us
to
purpose
,
we
should
not
stay
in
his
house
,
nor
yet
go
into
the
town
,
but
into
the
Castle
we
should
go
to
Domesdale
,
for
all
Bradens
securitie
for
us
,
and
his
Letter
he
sent
to
us
,
and
that
the
Justices
said
Doomesdale
was
to
good
for
us
,
and
that
we
were
mistaken
in
the
Justices
they
had
not
one
bad
word
for
him
,
nor
a
good
word
for
us
.
And
that
night
our
friends
coming
home
in
the
rain
from
the
Sessions
on
foot
,
he
lockt
them
up
without
fire
,
or
bed
,
or
straw
to
lye
on
,
or
victuals
to
eate
,
or
beer
or
water
to
drink
,
and
denyed
them
the
opening
the
door
to
have
necessaries
brought
them
Wi●liam
Salt
went
to
the
Gaoler
,
and
desired
him
the
door
may
be
opened
for
our
friends
to
have
necessary
refreshments
after
their
journey
,
the
Gaoler
answered
how
now
Sirrah
,
you
Rogue
,
you
Rascall
,
you
shall
have
no
door
opened
get
you
gone
you
Dog
,
or
else
I
will
kick
you
up
stairs
,
how
now
ye
Scums
of
the
Countrie
,
ye
Runnagate
Rogues
,
I
le
put
you
fast
enough
all
of
you
,
ye
Rogues
.
We
asking
him
whether
the
Justices
would
allow
him
in
this
,
he
answered
,
If
we
had
been
at
the
Sessions
at
Truro
,
we
might
have
been
kickt
before
the
Justices
faces
,
as
our
friends
were
beat
out
of
the
Hall
and
kickt
like
Dogs
,
and
the
Justices
was
there
sitting
upon
the
Bench
at
that
time
Here
we
do
see
and
take
notice
,
who
are
the
strengthener
of
the
hands
of
evill
doers
,
which
is
not
a
praise
to
them
that
do
well
.
Surely
if
you
consider
the
streets
and
the
Countries
how
they
ring
like
Sodom
,
and
sound
like
Gomorrah
,
you
would
find
enough
to
turne
your
Sword
against
,
and
not
against
the
innocent
,
but
this
prophane
rabble
of
people
you
have
pleased
,
it
is
their
day
,
you
have
given
them
content
,
drunkards
,
swearers
,
and
such
as
follow
pleasures
,
this
is
their
day
,
their
mouths
are
set
open
and
are
encouraged
to
act
against
the
innocent
,
such
as
be
of
upright
heart
,
but
the
Lord
is
a
refuge
,
And
is
not
this
an
evill
report
and
an
ill
smell
,
that
you
should
have
no
better
rule
to
keep
peace
,
but
suffer
Prisoners
to
be
beat
and
kickt
like
Dogs
,
as
the
Gaoler
reports
among
his
drunken
Companions
,
But
this
shews
that
you
use
not
the
Sword
,
which
is
a
terror
to
the
evill
doer
.
And
this
is
written
(
not
that
we
do
complain
to
man
)
but
that
you
,
who
are
called
Christian
Magistrates
may
these
things
weigh
and
consider
,
whether
this
be
the
Sword
of
justice
and
the
ruler
for
God
,
and
his
glory
for
the
praise
of
them
that
do
well
,
and
for
the
punishment
of
vice
and
wickedness
.
And
seeing
he
hath
made
you
the
Authors
of
his
cruel
actings
and
brutish
carriages
towards
us
,
and
so
shelters
himself
under
you
,
We
therefore
lay
it
upon
you
,
that
we
may
be
clear
of
your
blood
in
the
sight
of
God
who
will
not
be
mocked
with
onely
a
talk
of
Religion
,
and
of
the
Scripturts
,
and
be
found
out
of
the
life
of
the
Scriptures
,
and
the
pure
Religion
.
And
we
do
understand
,
that
there
was
a
lying
,
slanderous
paper
read
in
the
manner
of
a
Petition
against
us
,
to
cover
his
former
wickedness
(
and
as
't
is
said
he
was
in
fear
he
should
be
turned
out
of
his
place
,
for
his
cruell
and
unworthy
acting
,
towards
us
.
)
And
there
was
a
Letter
which
had
part
of
the
abuses
and
wrongs
,
which
we
sustained
since
the
Sessions
before
this
,
which
was
sent
to
the
Justices
of
the
Countie
,
to
be
read
among
them
,
that
they
might
know
of
the
abuses
we
undergoe
and
have
undergone
,
since
the
former
Sessions
,
now
his
paper
was
read
openly
in
the
Court
,
but
this
was
not
,
but
received
by
Thomas
Gewen
,
who
graspt
it
up
in
his
hand
,
and
put
it
up
in
his
pocket
,
and
said
he
would
make
mum
of
it
:
the
petition
we
have
not
seen
,
but
we
do
hear
that
he
saith
that
we
would
toss
his
children
on
Pikes
,
and
hang
him
at
his
door
,
and
tread
his
wife
under
our
feet
,
and
such
like
expressions
:
Can
such
a
thing
enter
into
you
,
that
ever
we
should
speake
such
words
,
we
put
that
of
God
in
you
to
judge
,
for
such
things
we
do
utterly
deny
,
and
that
part
of
it
was
deposed
of
treading
the
Gaolers
wife
under
feet
,
by
the
underkeeper
,
who
(
as
is
said
)
have
been
convicted
and
punished
as
a
fellon
,
who
sware
the
word
to
be
spoken
by
William
Salt
and
Benjamin
Maynard
.
And
the
Gaolers
wif●
her self
have
since
cleared
William
Salt
of
the
words
,
and
saith
he
was
not
in
place
when
the
words
was
pretended
to
be
spoken
;
And
if
you
took
heed
to
the
light
of
Christ
,
wherewith
you
are
lighted
,
and
walked
in
the
fear
of
the
Lord
,
with
it
you
would
see
and
discern
when
such
false
things
are
brought
before
you
,
and
that
of
God
in
you
would
witness
for
God
in
the
truth
,
and
against
the
false
accuser
,
And
so
wicked
men
would
not
dare
to
present
you
with
lyes
and
falsehoods
,
and
here
your
sword
would
be
a
terror
to
the
wicked
,
and
those
that
refuge
in
lyes
.
On
the
third
day
after
he
came
from
Sessions
,
he
clapt
us
up
close
Prisoners
,
swearing
oaths
not
fit
to
be
mentioned
,
and
a
Company
of
Fidlers
came
up
into
the
next
room
where
was
a
prophane
Company
swearing
,
and
drinking
and
singing
prophane
songs
,
with
that
prophane
Prisoner
called
Roach
,
this
now
hath
its
libertie
,
and
is
tollerated
,
but
those
which
reproves
this
are
clapt
up
close
prisoners
,
and
not
fit
to
live
in
a
Common-wealth
,
nor
can
be
used
too
hardly
,
as
the
Gaoler
reports
the
Justices
said
of
us
,
and
that
we
should
be
carried
by
their
command
to
the
Common
Gaole
,
as
the
Gaolers
wife
said
,
which
in
two
dayes
after
we
were
taken
out
of
the
Chamber
in
the
Gaolers
house
(
into
which
we
were
put
when
we
were
taken
out
of
Domesdale
,
by
order
of
the
Iustices
at
the
former
Sessions
,
and
the
securitie
given
by
Captain
Braden
for
our
true
imprisonments
)
and
he
put
us
into
the
room
over
Domesdale
,
where
comes
up
the
nastie
smell
of
the
hole
where
the
Fellons
are
,
And
as
he
lockt
up
our
friends
which
were
there
before
we
came
at
his
pleasure
close
prisoners
,
so
he
doth
us
,
he
lockt
up
Edward
Pyot
and
the
rest
close
Prisoners
in
this
place
over
Domesdale
,
not
giving
any
reason
for
his
so
doing
,
but
when
he
is
asked
falls
a
reviling
and
uttering
forth
his
unsavorie
and
ungodly
expressions
,
and
calling
us
filthie
names
.
The
first
night
he
put
us
in
this
place
,
he
came
drunk
to
us
late
at
night
,
swearing
by
the
Lord
in
Heaven
,
and
by
Gods
blood
he
would
tye
us
neck
and
heels
,
and
double
Iron
us
,
and
from
us
went
up
to
the
upper
Gaole
where
the
women
are
,
there
he
abused
Anne
Blackling
our
friend
in
like
manner
,
calling
her
Whore
,
and
Witch
,
and
Runnagate
,
and
threatned
to
double
Iron
her
and
put
her
in
the
pit
,
and
at
his
return
from
her
,
he
came
in
a
rage
into
the
roome
where
we
were
,
and
put
out
our
Candle
,
which
was
burning
somewhat
the
longer
to
get
the
roome
a
little
cleansed
,
and
to
settle
our
necessaries
.
The
next
day
a
friend
of
ours
named
John
Ellice
,
whose
outward
being
is
about
the
farther
end
of
the
Countie
,
was
sent
to
prison
by
P.
Ceely
and
James
Lance
for
not
doffing
his
hat
to
P.
Ceely
,
and
for
saying
t
was
false
,
that
he
had
gotten
Arms
into
his
custodie
,
whom
the
Gaoler
being
in
Domesdale
and
the
do●r
open
,
William
Salt
carried
in
some
straw
and
a
covering
for
our
friend
,
whom
the
rude
fellow
Roach
ran
upon
,
and
thrust
down
,
and
the
Gaoler
also
ran
upon
him
and
punch't
him
when
he
was
down
,
and
then
thrust
him
out
of
Doors
,
uttering
many
oaths
and
threatnings
and
held
up
his
staffe
to
thrust
it
at
his
belly
,
And
when
William
Salt
asked
him
whether
he
would
deny
necessaries
to
be
brought
the
Prisoners
,
he
answered
I
marry
will
I
Sirrah
,
and
up
with
his
staffe
and
with
it
stroke
William
Salt
a
sore
blow
in
the
mouth
,
saying
he
would
cut
the
covering
he
brought
to
pieces
,
And
John
Ellice
asking
him
why
he
was
so
angry
,
he
thrust
and
puncht
him
also
,
and
af
er
to
cover
his
wicked
carriage
he
said
that
William
Salt
would
have
rescued
the
Prisoner
,
And
a
little
time
after
he
came
to
us
over
Domesdale
,
and
abused
us
much
in
language
,
and
many
fearfull
oaths
he
swore
,
as
Gods
blood
,
and
such
like
not
fit
to
be
mentioned
,
and
thrust
and
puncht
us
up
there
,
and
held
up
his
staffe
,
and
swore
he
wou●d
knock
down
Pyot
.
He
was
then
so
drunck
as
that
he
was
readie
to
fall
himself
with
thrusting
us
,
and
could
hardly
utter
a
plain
word
.
And
because
the
tryall
where
(
Thomas
Gewen
sate
Judge
of
the
Court
)
went
against
our
friend
,
(
a
poor
lame
maid
in
the
town
,
whom
we
hired
as
our
servant
to
provide
us
necessaries
,
and
for
it
paid
her
wages
,
whom
the
Gaoler
lockt
into
his
house
whilst
he
sent
for
a
Sergeant
and
arrested
her
,
and
he
brought
his
under-keeper
to
swear
that
the
maid
unbard
our
Chamber
door
,
which
under-keeper
was
not
seen
to
be
there
by
not
one
of
five
of
us
,
who
should
have
seen
him
if
he
had
been
there
,
and
since
this
under-keeper
hath
confest
to
us
that
our
Chamber
door
was
not
opened
till
after
the
maid
was
carried
away
by
the
Sergeant
;
This
fellows
oath
was
received
in
Court
,
although
it
was
signified
in
Court
that
he
was
convicted
as
a
fellon
,
and
that
he
was
not
present
while
the
maid
was
at
the
Chamber
door
till
the
Sergeant
came
.
Let
the
least
measure
of
honestie
judge
of
these
proceedings
)
the
Gaoler
is
so
set
up
with
this
that
now
he
threatens
friends
that
come
to
us
,
both
towns-people
and
strangers
what
he
will
do
to
them
by
the
Law
,
and
also
as
one
having
authority
to
do
wickedly
.
He
formerly
confin'd
Benjamin
Maynard
to
the
Castle
,
who
was
serviceable
to
fetch
our
provisions
,
and
now
he
lay'd
the
like
command
upon
William
Salt
,
who
hath
done
it
since
,
and
the
rest
of
our
friends
which
are
prisoners
are
confind
not
to
goe
forth
of
the
Castle
,
and
all
this
he
doth
in
his
will
,
so
that
by
all
ways
and
means
he
endeavours
to
abuse
us
,
and
by
threats
,
misnaming
,
cursed
speakings
,
and
beating
us
,
and
bringing
us
into
this
nastie
place
,
so
also
to
hinder
necessaries
to
be
brought
us
.
This
useage
is
not
according
to
Generall
Disborow's
Letter
to
him
that
we
should
be
civilly
used
,
but
he
saith
,
that
was
not
from
Generall
Disborow
,
but
't
was
a
counterfeit
,
neither
is
it
of
such
honour
to
you
who
are
Justices
of
the
Countie
(
as
your
reproof
of
him
was
to
you
the
Sessions
before
this
)
to
uphold
or
have
such
a
fellow
to
be
keeper
of
your
Countie
Gaole
,
who
is
not
onely
ignorant
of
what
belongs
to
a
Christian
,
but
also
of
a
civill
man
.
These
things
ought
to
be
considered
of
by
you
,
and
not
to
be
lightly
past
over
,
for
to
the
Lord
God
must
you
give
an
account
of
your
actions
,
and
trust
committed
to
you
.

FRIENDS
,
SInce
the
Sessions
that
this
unmercifull
Gaoler
hath
been
imboldned
by
you
,
who
saith
,
that
the
Iustices
said
that
Domes-dale
was
too
good
for
us
,
moreover
he
saith
,
that
the
Iustices
said
we
were
worse
than
the
Fellons
,
and
since
that
time
he
hath
brought
us
to
the
Common
Gaole
to
Domes-dale
,
and
put
us
there
into
a
nastie
stincking
place
,
upon
it
,
though
he
had
complained
against
us
that
we
had
given
him
nothing
,
and
yet
he
had
fortie
shillings
since
Sessions
for
lying
in
his
sheets
,
though
the
sheets
were
such
as
we
never
lay
in
before
,
they
were
so
torne
that
our
feet
went
thorough
the
holes
,
and
they
were
so
long
lane
in
that
I
have
seen
cleener
on
a
stick
to
sweep
an
Oven
,
And
the
other
friends
being
walking
in
the
Castle
he
took
his
opportunitie
,
and
he
commanded
me
out
of
his
Chamber
,
calling
me
filthy
names
,
and
so
bringing
our
things
to
Domes-dale
,
and
so
commanded
me
thither
,
and
there
now
keeps
us
,
and
this
now
,
we
have
seen
what
hath
been
incouraged
,
that
which
gives
a
stink
amongst
men
;
So
he
came
full
of
his
drink
in
the
night
,
the
roome
being
bad
,
we
being
up
a
little
later
,
he
comes
swearing
,
and
abusing
us
as
formerly
,
and
as
we
were
setting
down
his
oaths
,
he
came
,
and
knocked
out
our
Candle
.
Did
ever
any
of
you
taste
since
the
Wars
,
did
you
ever
taste
of
these
things
by
the
common
enemy
,
that
now
is
done
to
the
Children
of
light
,
to
them
that
fear
the
Lord
,
For
the
encouraging
of
such
,
I
must
declare
plainly
to
you
,
't
is
not
of
good
report
to
you
,
or
justice
,
that
a
drunkard
,
a
prophane
person
,
a
common
swearer
,
which
cannot
scarce
speake
without
an
oath
,
and
a
curse
,
and
a
foul
mouth'd
abusive
man
,
as
ever
I
heard
speake
,
and
for
you
to
encourage
such
a
one
,
and
against
the
just
,
and
Prisoners
,
this
I
say
to
you
,
it
is
not
of
Honour
to
you
,
but
to
bring
your
names
to
dishonour
.
For
before
he
had
received
s●me
rebuke
from
some
of
you
at
the
Sessions
formerly
,
by
which
we
were
taken
out
of
Doomesdale
,
but
now
he
having
received
encouragement
,
you
have
set
up
prophaneness
more
than
ever
I
saw
where
ever
I
came
in
any
Country
,
and
encouraged
prophaneness
;
never
the
like
was
beheld
.
And
we
that
stand
against
violence
,
surely
you
might
have
considered
that
your selves
,
that
his
Petition
was
a
false
thing
,
for
when
we
asked
him
,
but
a
question
,
he
had
us
kiss
his
tayl
,
kiss
his
tayl
,
calling
us
Rogues
,
Runnagates
,
scums
of
the
Countrie
,
and
binding
it
with
an
oath
,
and
then
saith
,
the
Justice
saith
Doomesdale
is
to
good
for
you
,
ye
Rogues
,
I
le
double
Iron
you
.
swearing
he
would
double
Iron
Anne
Blackling
,
and
put
her
in
the
Dungeon
,
calling
her
Runnagate
Whore
,
that
went
about
bewitching
the
Countrie
,
and
not
onely
abusing
us
,
but
those
who
came
to
visit
us
calling
them
Whores
and
Rogues
.
Now
we
know
what
belongs
to
Government
a
little
,
and
what
ought
to
rule
,
and
not
to
set
such
over
us
to
slander
us
and
abuse
us
,
and
beat
such
as
bring
necessaries
to
us
Never
was
the
like
beheld
in
any
Country
:
but
we
are
content
who
sees
the
end
of
profession
,
though
our
souls
are
grieved
to
see
the
filthy
conversation
tolerated
,
and
not
rebuked
,
and
open
prophaneness
encouraged
,
to
that
of
God
I
speake
,
for
this
cause
hath
God
brought
his
swift
judgements
,
upon
such
who
have
been
found
in
these
steps
,
and
setting
that
up
against
the
just
,
and
that
which
is
contrary
to
God
,
which
God
hath
brought
down
,
and
exalted
himself
.
William
Salt
.
The
enclosed
is
sent
you
to
read
,
for
that
we
do
not
understand
it
:
it
was
read
amongst
you
at
Sessions
,
It
being
sent
you
,
that
you
might
take
notice
of
part
of
the
abuses
which
we
have
received
between
Sessions
,
and
Sessions
.
ANd
not
onely
upon
the
Prisoners
persons
was
the
Gaoler
incouraged
to
act
thus
wickedly
,
but
on
others
who
were
their
friends
,
and
had
relation
to
them
;
Now
he
saw
it
his
time
to
bring
to
tryall
the
Suit
between
him
depending
,
and
Susanna
Kemp
one
of
the
town
of
Lanceston
,
the
Prisoners
servant
,
who
coming
to
see
what
the
Prisoners
wanted
,
he
lockt
the
door
upon
,
and
kept
Prisoner
,
and
being
so
,
then
sent
for
a
Serjeant
,
and
arrested
her
for
coming
into
his
house
,
threatning
and
abusing
her
as
aforesaid
,
which
he
bringing
to
Issue
before
the
said
T.
Gewen
Recorder
of
the
town
,
he
declared
against
her
in
a
matter
of
trespass
,
for
entring
his
house
by
force
of
Arms
,
and
taking
out
the
Iron
Bar
of
the
door
with
such
like
:
And
Nicolas
Freeleven
the
under-Keeper
he
produced
as
a
witness
,
who
swore
he
took
her
from
the
door
,
when
as
he
was
not
in
the
place
all
that
time
,
and
Katherine
Kingdome
,
who
upon
her
Oath
said
,
she
saw
her
sit
in
the
Stairs
,
when
as
she
sate
not
in
the
Stairs
,
nor
any
where
else
,
but
stood
still
,
after
the
door
was
shut
on
her
,
till
the
Serjeant
came
;
And
although
by
two
witnesses
on
the
behalf
of
Susan
it
was
proved
,
That
she
was
the
Prisoners
servant
by
agreement
,
for
so
long
time
as
they
had
occasion
for
wages
;
and
by
one
of
them
testified
that
wages
she
had
of
them
severall
times
,
expressing
the
particular
summs
,
Though
he
made
his
house
their
Prison
from
the
first
time
of
their
being
delivered
to
him
in
custody
,
and
so
he
making
his
house
their
Prison
,
the
way
to
them
ought
to
be
free
,
who
were
not
committed
close
Prisoners
,
especially
for
their
servant
;
Though
into
his
house
which
he
had
made
their
prison
,
other
friends
had
to
them
free
access
,
during
the
time
of
their
Imprisonment
,
as
they
ought
to
have
;
Though
contrary
to
Law
he
had
lock'd
them
up
close
Prisoners
(
for
no
Iustice
or
Iudge
can
by
Law
commit
a
man
close
Prisoner
,
much
less
a
Gaoler
,
especially
having
no
order
from
Iudge
or
Iustice
so
to
do
)
at
this
very
time
when
she
(
their
servant
)
coming
to
see
what
they
had
need
of
,
on
whom
the
Gaoler
had
executed
such
crueltie
,
was
by
him
made
a
Prisoner
for
so
doing
,
and
arrested
whilst
she
was
so
detained
;
Though
Collonel
Bennet
a
Iustice
present
,
spake
to
the
Iury
to
consider
how
a
lame
Innocent
Maid
could
be
conceived
to
come
with
force
of
Arms
,
and
in
what
want
the
Prisoners
might
be
who
had
their
door
shut
upon
them
,
yet
the
Recorder
gave
such
direction
to
the
Iury
concerning
her
coming
into
his
house
without
his
consent
,
and
for
damages
,
declaring
to
what
Collonel
Bennet
said
,
that
if
the
Prisoners
had
dyed
for
want
,
the
perill
would
be
on
the
Keeper
,
that
the
Iury
cast
her
,
and
gave
the
Gaoler
damages
;
which
a●
it
is
contrary
to
the
Law
and
Iustice
,
so
is
it
such
a
piece
of
crueltie
,
as
hardly
can
one
find
words
fully
to
express
,
but
is
thought
very
little
by
this
generation
,
in
whom
the
spirit
that
is
cruell
,
lodgeth
,
and
hath
the
Dominion
to
be
executed
upon
the
innocent
.
By
that
time
the
Reader
,
who
hath
any
honesty
,
or
bowels
,
or
tenderness
is
gone
thus
far
,
and
hath
duly
considered
what
hath
been
rehearsed
,
he
will
find
these
cruell
oppressions
and
horrible
wickednesses
,
a
weight
sufficient
,
and
load
upon
his
spirit
,
to
make
him
sigh
out
,
oh
when
shall
the
wickedness
of
the
wicked
come
to
an
end
:
But
these
are
not
all
,
there
are
yet
other
abhominations
to
mention
,
more
violence
yet
,
and
deeds
of
darkness
;
A
Iustice
,
a
Iudge
,
a
Gaoler
,
a
few
Iustices
at
a
Sessions
have
hitherto
acted
their
parts
,
and
tryed
their
streng●h
to
weigh
down
and
destroy
the
innocent
,
in
such
manner
as
hath
been
related
;
Towns
and
Countries
now
come
in
,
consult
and
joyn
together
,
and
rise
up
like
a
flood
to
lay
their
weight
upon
,
to
break
down
,
and
to
devoure
them
who
have
no
kindred
upon
earth
,
nor
helper
amongst
men
;
whose
bodies
are
laid
equall
to
the
ground
,
that
all
may
pass
over
,
and
over
whom
have
passed
the
cruelties
,
and
oppressions
already
rehearsed
,
and
much
more
which
time
would
fail
particularly
to
instance
,
And
by
that
time
this
latter
part
is
perused
and
weighed
,
the
wise
in
heart
will
see
,
whether
Justice
is
to
be
found
in
the
earth
,
or
mercie
amongst
the
men
of
this
generation
?
oh
how
unreasonable
is
crueltie
,
how
blind
is
rage
,
and
how
brutishly
inhumane
is
man
,
when
drove
on
by
the
spirit
,
and
powers
of
darkness
,
against
the
truth
of
the
living
God
?
In
this
kinde
of
persecution
the
town
of
Lanceston
leads
,
T.
Gewen
aforesaid
the
Recorder
thereof
is
of
Counsell
,
Philip
Page
the
Mayor
begins
the
execution
;
The
Gaoler
hath
no
power
in
the
town
,
farther
than
his
prison
he
cannot
goe
;
there
he
sufficiently
manifests
his
tyrannicall
beastliness
,
where
he
saith
he
is
unaccountable
,
for
what
he
doth
.
The
Mayor
he
hath
no
power
over
the
prison
,
so
saith
the
Gaoler
,
and
that
if
he
come
thither
,
he
will
put
him
by
the
heels
,
yet
all
this
Gaolers
heels
he
followeth
(
without
blushing
)
in
persecuting
of
the
just
,
The
cruelties
executed
upon
them
by
the
Gaoler
are
not
enough
,
the
sufferings
they
have
sustained
is
not
of
value
,
Their
friends
have
free
access
from
all
parts
to
visit
and
comfort
them
,
and
the
flocking
of
so
many
troubles
and
torments
;
opportunities
they
have
too
many
,
and
too
much
libertie
to
send
abroad
the
particulars
of
their
sufferings
,
and
to
have
returns
from
friends
of
tenderness
,
and
refreshing
;
suffer
beyond
measure
that
Spirit
would
have
them
,
and
so
shut
up
that
none
may
know
of
their
sufferings
,
or
any
ways
relieve
or
help
them
;
The
Mayor
will
try
what
he
can
do
herein
.
And
for
this
end
sets
his
Watches
and
armed
Guards
,
at
every
Gate
of
the
town
to
examine
,
search
and
bring
before
him
,
those
who
come
to
visit
them
,
the
Letters
he
finds
on
such
,
he
breaks
open
,
and
detains
as
he
pleaseth
;
their
Cloaths
and
Pockets
he
searcheth
,
and
rifles
;
their
persons
he
abuseth
with
filthy
and
unsavory
expressions
;
he
searched
a
womans
head
for
Letters
with
his
own
hands
,
taking
her
fowl
Cloaths
out
of
her
Hat
,
and
searching
them
also
.
A
Cheese
sent
to
Edward
Pyott
the
Gaoler
violently
took
away
,
saying
he
would
carry
it
to
the
Mayors
,
for
therefore
was
the
Watch
,
and
Ward
set
at
every
Gate
,
to
stop
all
things
that
should
go
to
and
from
them
,
which
is
not
restored
to
this
day
.
And
William
Salt
after
his
being
taken
by
order
of
the
Sessions
out
of
that
noysome
poysonous
hole
,
called
Domesdale
,
where
he
had
been
ill
in
his
body
,
walking
to
Poulsons
Bridge
that
parts
Devon
and
Cornwall
,
being
a
mile
or
thereabouts
out
of
the
town
,
to
take
the
wholesome
ayr
,
upon
encouragement
thereof
,
and
of
Captain
Bradens
having
given
securitie
for
their
true
Imprisonment
,
for
that
very
end
that
they
might
not
be
closely
restrained
,
and
cruelly
used
as
they
had
been
by
the
Gaoler
.
This
Mayor
(
having
notice
thereof
)
caused
to
be
taken
and
brought
before
him
,
(
having
set
out
Scouts
and
Watches
to
meet
him
at
his
return
)
and
having
himself
rifled
his
Pockets
,
and
taken
away
his
Letters
,
to
the
darke
house
he
committed
him
,
telling
him
he
would
shew
him
a
Law
to
morrow
,
and
after
he
had
lyen
two
nights
and
a
day
there
by
his
order
,
sent
for
him
,
and
scoffed
him
,
and
asked
him
whether
he
would
go
into
Devonshire
again
;
and
so
sent
him
to
the
Gaoler
;
who
was
a
Prisoner
in
the
County
prison
,
a
prisoner
upon
security
for
his
true
Imprisonment
,
over
whom
the
Mayor
had
no
power
;
but
the
same
Spirit
of
crueltie
ruling
in
him
against
the
Innocent
as
in
the
Gaoler
,
he
seeks
and
takes
every
opportunitie
to
manifest
it
,
and
in
this
merciless
act
hath
exceeded
the
Gaolers
unreasonable
practice
and
inhumane
brutishness
.
But
by
that
time
he
comes
to
understand
by
feeling
the
wages
of
his
unrighteousness
,
what
he
hath
done
herein
,
and
in
the
disturbing
of
peaceable
people
in
their
travelling
,
searching
them
,
and
breaking
open
their
Letters
,
taking
away
,
and
detaining
their
Books
and
Papers
,
and
misusing
them
as
hath
been
said
,
he
will
have
little
cause
to
boast
or
glory
,
but
the
contrary
.
And
thus
from
this
Gaoler
,
Recorder
,
and
Mayor
have
the
Innocent
suffered
without
mercy
.
These
are
they
who
have
joyned
hand
in
hand
together
,
to
make
up
the
threefold
Cord
of
their
cruell
persecution
.
He
that
reads
what
hath
been
rehearsed
of
these
three
may
see
their
faces
,
hearts
,
and
hands
,
one
and
the
same
,
as
is
the
Spirit
that
rules
them
:
The
first
causeth
them
to
suffer
,
the
second
helps
on
and
then
laughs
at
their
sufferings
on
the
seat
of
judgement
,
instead
of
doing
them
right
:
The
third
reacheth
forth
his
hand
to
make
them
further
to
suffer
,
where
the
two
former
cannot
.
But
the
Recorder
is
the
Counsellor
,
from
him
proceeds
the
encouragement
and
strength
of
the
other
two
.
This
is
he
(
as
is
said
)
that
was
one
of
the
secluded
Members
of
the
long
Parliament
,
who
after
the
Kings
death
being
asked
,
in
whose
name
the
Orders
of
Court
should
pass
,
answered
in
the
name
of
T.
Gewen
Esquire
Recorder
of
Lanceston
,
when
as
the
Act
of
Parliament
said
,
In
the
name
of
the
Keepers
of
the
Liberties
of
England
,
who
in
disdaine
and
scorn
asked
who
they
were
,
Who
in
the
last
Parliament
,
was
very
zealous
for
a
King
and
a
House
of
Lords
.
The
Mayor
is
he
who
was
once
put
by
that
office
for
his
disaffection
to
the
Common-wealth
,
and
the
prisoners
in
their
day
,
having
borne
their
testimony
against
those
interests
,
as
they
do
now
against
all
unrighteousness
and
ungodliness
of
men
,
who
hold
the
truth
in
unrighteousness
,
no
wonder
if
at
their
hands
they
receive
all
manner
of
cruelties
,
now
that
they
are
put
under
their
feet
,
and
delivered
up
as
a
prey
,
and
a
scorn
to
all
;
who
as
to
the
interest
of
the
Common-wealth
,
to
which
they
firmly
stood
,
could
not
be
overcome
by
the
Sword
or
War
,
but
overcame
the
Interests
that
these
men
pursued
,
and
therein
these
men
and
all
their
Accomplices
.
And
no
wonder
to
see
such
men
as
these
creeping
into
places
of
power
,
thereby
to
have
their
opportunities
of
revenge
on
such
,
and
of
making
the
Government
under
which
they
are
to
stink
,
and
become
intollerable
because
of
oppression
and
crueltie
,
and
of
separating
between
those
who
are
chief
in
Rule
,
and
their
former
constant
friends
;
And
is
it
not
a
fair
game
thus
to
play
,
whilst
it
passeth
undescerned
acting
under
the
power
of
authoritie
,
which
when
it
is
become
sufficiently
naked
,
weak
,
and
abort'd
,
if
a
blow
then
come
it
may
be
sure
to
hit
,
and
repentance
may
be
too
late
.
Men
walk
not
in
such
mystery
in
these
dayes
,
but
they
are
easily
discerned
,
as
opportunitie
serveth
;
their
old
interest
appears
to
lie
in
the
bottome
sure
,
and
unmoveable
,
though
their
faces
look
another
way
,
thither
they
rowe
,
(
hath
it
not
very
lately
appeared
so
throughout
England
?
is
it
not
a
fair
warning
?
)
Ethiopians
cannot
change
their
Skin
,
nor
Leopards
their
spots
?
Let
not
men
be
mistaken
,
so
they
shall
find
it
.
In
the
sufferings
of
these
Innocent
servants
of
the
Lord
,
who
have
been
thorougly
faithfull
to
the
Common-wealth
,
mentioned
in
this
relation
in
this
County
of
Cornwall
,
appear
no
less
than
two
of
the
eleven
Members
whom
the
Army
impeached
,
(
viz.
)
John
Glynne
then
Recorder
of
London
,
dismist
of
that
place
as
an
enemy
to
the
Common-wealth
and
Army
,
now
Chief
Justice
of
the
upper
Bench
,
and
Anthony
Nicholls
,
who
knows
how
much
he
had
a
hand
in
bri●gi●g
in
the
Scotch
Army
in
1648.
into
England
,
and
how
well
known
it
was
then
,
as
was
his
other
actions
,
and
its
like
may
remember
who
it
was
that
was
proclaimed
a
Traytor
by
the
Army
,
and
sought
after
as
such
a
one
,
who
its
like
should
be
called
to
a
strict
account
for
what
he
hath
now
done
to
the
innocent
con●rary
to
Law
,
would
flie
from
it
himself
,
and
lay
it
on
the
back
of
the
Priests
,
as
he
did
the
former
when
the
Army
had
him
Prisoner
,
To
whom
he
said
,
that
the
Priests
laying
it
upon
them
in
the
Parliament
as
no
less
than
damnation
,
that
such
a
Company
of
Hereticks
and
Schismaticks
as
were
the
Army
(
should
pass
into
Ireland
(
which
lay
then
(
viz.
the
honest
interest
)
in
a
sad
bleeding
and
dying
posture
)
was
the
reason
of
what
they
did
,
and
of
their
attempt
to
break
the
Army
,
which
they
endeavoured
under
the
pretence
of
the
relief
thereof
,
and
placing
such
Officers
for
conduct
as
might
serve
that
end
,
under
whom
they
knew
the
Souldiery
would
not
engage
:
Yet
this
man
(
now
)
oh
how
warme
is
he
?
how
secure
doth
he
think
himself
under
the
Government
of
the
Army
and
the
Chief
Officers
thereof
?
Two
inn●cent
men
he
sent
to
prison
,
who
have
suffered
as
hath
been
in
part
related
with
the
cause
of
their
suffering
,
under
which
they
yet
lye
;
and
whosoever
comes
to
him
that
are
such
as
he
and
the
scorners
calls
Quakers
,
he
saith
he
will
imprison
,
And
Thomas
Gewen
makes
up
a
third
in
the
same
affection
,
for
which
by
reason
of
the
Army
he
sate
not
in
Parliament
.
But
to
proceed
—
Lanceston
having
thus
began
,
the
County
of
Cornwall
follows
,
strict
Watches
and
Wards
are
set
up
in
the
high
ways
,
and
towns
thereof
,
who
examine
,
and
bring
bef●re
Justices
,
such
as
they
reproach
with
the
name
of
Quakers
,
thereby
to
stop
and
hinder
the
going
to
and
fro
of
such
in
that
County
to
visit
the
Prisoners
,
or
to
Minister
the
words
of
eternall
life
in
those
darke
Corners
of
the
earth
:
But
of
this
after
a
time
they
grew
weary
,
who
thereby
thought
to
weary
out
those
people
by
tossing
them
from
Constable
to
Just●ce
,
and
from
one
Justice
to
another
,
keeping
them
all
night
on
Guards
with
such
like
,
the
rage
which
the
evill
one
stirred
up
in
them
,
which
put
them
upon
such
unlawfull
,
and
violent
actions
became
cool
;
and
finding
nothing
wherewithall
to
accuse
them
,
and
their
innocency
and
harmelesness
,
began
to
have
a
witness
in
their
consciences
,
and
so
their
Watches
,
and
Guards
ceased
,
which
had
continued
for
a
certain
space
of
time
,
and
those
at
Lanceston
also
,
though
the
Mayor
for
a
time
followed
it
with
such
blind
zeale
,
madness
;
and
violence
.
And
this
is
the
better
way
to
deale
with
the
people
called
Quakers
than
the
Protector
,
and
his
Councell
could
find
:
Anthony
Nicholls
its
like
can
tell
from
whom
came
this
wicked
invention
,
and
who
it
was
that
said
so
,
and
what
Justices
set
to
their
hands
to
make
this
Warrant
the
more
authentick
,
and
to
cover
it
from
being
seen
to
be
the
Plot
of
one
against
the
just
(
viz:
)
Anthony
Nicholls
,
Anthony
Rouse
,
James
Lance
,
John
Treville
,
Ia.
Daniell
,
Iohn
Fox
,
Dated
at
Truro
.
By
that
time
this
Westerne
most
Countie
,
and
the
towns
and
Villages
thereof
gave
over
,
the
County
of
Devon
on
the
East
of
Lanceston
began
;
Cornwall
was
behind
,
and
little
in
comparison
.
All
England
stood
before
Devon
,
and
through
it
must
all
pass
that
came
to
the
prisoners
,
Its
bounds
extending
from
Sea
to
Sea
;
surely
grieved
are
the
Priests
to
see
and
hear
of
such
abounding
of
love
in
visiting
the
Prisoners
from
all
parts
of
England
,
(
even
from
the
borders
of
Scot●and
)
tormented
they
are
day
and
night
because
of
the
continuall
goings
of
so
many
to
and
from
the
Prisoners
,
who
witnessed
that
which
made
their
Kingdome
to
shake
,
and
would
be
its
overthrow
;
No
rest
are
they
in
because
of
the
opportunities
,
such
had
to
declare
the
name
of
the
Lord
from
far
,
and
his
everlasting
Gospell
to
the
ends
of
the
earth
,
to
the
opening
of
the
blind
eye
,
to
see
their
deceit
and
filthiness
,
and
to
the
turning
of
people
from
darkness
to
the
light
,
and
from
the
power
of
Sathan
unto
God
,
whom
if
they
should
be
let
alone
,
the
Countie
would
run
after
,
Therefore

Crie

Why
?
What
's
the
matter
?
What
is
the
reason
of
this
outcry
?
In
plain
english
,
and
in
open
face
,
it
is
this
—
There
are
a
generation
of
people
whom
we
call
Quakers
,
(
for
we
must
reproach
in
the
very
first
place
,
that
we
may
be
known
of
what
generation
we
are
,
Ministers
of
division
,
not
of
reconciliation
)
wandring
up
and
down
this
County
,
(
as
did
the
Prophets
,
and
Christ
Jesus
,
and
the
Apostles
,
and
Holy
Men
of
God
from
the
beginning
)
who
plague
us
greatly
,
and
the
men
of
our
generation
,
in
almost
every
corner
of
the
Nation
;
who
deny
(
us
who
thus
act
,
for
by
these
our
fruits
,
they
say
we
are
known
)
the
godly
Ministers
of
England
to
be
the
true
Ministers
of
the
Gospel
,
(
for
the
true
Ministers
of
the
Gospel
were
Ministers
of
Jesus
Christ
,
not
of
Man
,
or
made
by
or
in
the
will
of
Man
,
or
Nations
,
or
Countryes
,
but
by
the
will
of
God
,
and
the
revelation
of
Jesus
Christ
,
who
made
them
able
Ministers
of
the
new
Testament
,
not
of
the
letter
,
but
of
the
spirit
,
for
the
letter
killeth
,
but
the
spirit
giveth
life
,
2
Cor.
3.6
.
Gal.
1.16
.
And
such
were
done
too
by
the
Ministers
of
the
Countryes
,
the
National
Ministers
,
the
high
Priests
,
Scribes
,
and
Pharisees
,
as
we
have
done
,
and
would
have
you
now
do
to
them
,
as
Christ
foretold
.
)
And
they
deny
the
Scriptures
(
of
which
we
make
our
trade
)
to
be
the
word
of
God
,
(
and
if
that
be
not
the
word
of
God
,
no
other
word
of
God
do
we
know
,
for
we
have
neither
seen
his
shape
,
nor
heard
his
voyce
at
any
time
;
and
Revelation
we
deny
,
and
so
we
cannot
be
called
M●nisters
of
the
word
of
God
)
for
they
say
,
Christ
Jesus
is
the
Word
of
God
,
which
was
in
the
beginning
,
before
Letter
was
,
which
was
with
God
,
which
was
God
,
and
so
is
not
the
Letter
,
which
was
made
flesh
,
and
came
and
dwelt
amongst
us
,
as
John
testifies
,
chap.

Which
word
of
God
is
quick
and
powerfull
,
sharper
than
any
two
edged
sword
,
piercing
even
to
the
dividing
asunder
of
soul
and
spirit
,
of
the
joynts
and
marrow
,
and
is
a
discerner
of
the
thoughts
and
intents
of
the
heart
,
as
saith
the
Author
to
the
Hebrews
,
chap.
4.12
.
By
which
word
of
God
the
Heavens
were
of
old
,
and
the
Earth
standing
in
the
water
,
and
out
of
the
water
,
and
the
Heavens
and
the
Earth
which
are
now
are
kept
in
store
,
by
the
same
word
,
reserved
unto
fire
against
the
day
of
Judgement
,
and
perdition
of
ungodly
men
,
as
Peter

Who
sits
on
the
white
horse
,
cloathed
with
a
vesture
dipt
in
blood
,
(
whose
name
is
called
the
Word

)
riding
on
conquering
,
and
to
conquer
,
having
the
Armies

following

,
as
John
describes
him
in
his
Revelations
,
ch.

,

,

And
they
say
,
the
Scriptures
are
a
true
declaration
of
this
Christ
Jesus
the
Word
of
God
,
as
Luke
bears
record
;
who
having
a
perfect
understanding
of
all
things
from
the
very
first
,
saith
,
he
took
in
hand
to
set
forth
in
order
a
declaration
of
those
things
which
were
most
surely
believed
amongst
them
,
even
as
they
were
delivered
unto
them
by
those
who
from
the
beginning
were
eye-witnesses
,
and
Ministers
of
the
Word
,
it
seeming
good
unto
him
also
to
write
of
them
in
order
,
chap.

Which
declaration
of
his
of
him
who
is
the
Word
of
God
,
which
he
calls
so
who
wrote
it
,
we
notwithstanding
call
,
and
will
have
it
to
be
the
Word
of
God
,
and
cry
out
upon
such
as
Blasphemers
that
say
(
as
Luke
said
of
it
,
who
wrote
it
)
it
is
a
declaration
.
And
they
say
,
that
all
Scripture
given
by
inspiration
of
God
,
holy
men
of
God
speaking
(
not
from
the
Letter
,
for
one
Prophet
prophesied
not
what
he
saw
in
writing
of
the
Prophesy
of
another
;
nor
did
John
what
he
saw
written
in
the
Prophets
,
but
)
as
they
were
moved
of
the
Holy
Ghost
,
2
Pet.
1.2.1
.
Nor
spake
the
Apostles
,
but
as
the
spirit
gave
them
utterance
,
Acts
2.8
.
And
is
profitable
for
doctrine
,
for
reproof
,
for
correction
,
for
instruction
in
righteousness
,
that
the
man
of
God
(
not
the
man
of
sin
;
and
we
say
,
man
can
never
be
free

such
Heresies

Blasphemies
,
and
scat●ering
Books

these

call

do
undermine
(
with
that

the

these
great

being

have
been

their
delusions

)
to
fall
from
us

notwithstanding
the
clear

to
the
great
dishonour
of
Almighty

disturbance

(
which
we
have
often
set
into
Wars
and
Blood
thereabouts
)
to
the
sadning
of
every
good

honest
heart

the
grief
of
all
pious

observe
what
pitifull
Fundamentals
our
Religion
hath
,

can
be
thus
undermined

received

And
how
dark
our
Gospel
is
,
that
notwithstanding
the
clear
sun-shine
thereof
,
the
wicked
man
hath
sown
such
tares
as
these
,
which
are
grown
up
exceedingly
;
especially
that
all
this
should
be
done
by
a
people
wandring
up
and
down
the
Countrey
,
whom
we
,
and
the
World
(
which
make
up
what
we
call
our
Churches
)
do
scorn
,
set
at
nought
,
and
reproach
with
the
weak
and
contemptible
name
of
Quakers
;
and
do
account
and
number
them
(
as
Christ
Jesus
their
example
in
sufferings
)
with
Transgressours
,
sturdy
Rogues
,
Beggars
,
and
wandring
idle
persons
.
Therefore
it
is
high
time
for
ye
who
are
the
Magistrates

and
the
Authority
of
this
County
,
(
of
which
we
are

appear
,

do
your
parts
for
the
supporting
of
these
great
Truths
,
these
Fundamentals

our
Religion
,

have
been
so
long
professed

are
so
undermined
(
by
a
wandring
,
trembling
people
,
which
cry
up
perfection
amongst
us
)
of
this
our
Gospel
,
whose
clear
sun-shine
is
thus
dark
,
and
so
far
from
being
able
to
commend
it self●
to
that
of
God
in
every
mans
conscience
,
or
to
defend
it self
or
us
,
that
it
needs
your
carnal
weapons

(
which
were
not
the
Apostles
,
for
theirs
were
spiritual
,
not
carnal

mighty

require
of

in
the
way
,
because
he
had
spoken
unto
the

,

For
the
preventing

that
which

make
your

purpose
aforesaid

send
your
Orders
abroad
to
the
chief
Constables

Constables

earnestly
requesting
them
,
as
they
tender
the
foundation

now
undermined

the

him

spoyled

to
do
their

see
them
put
in
execution

so
your
dead
orders
may
prove
the
destruction

the

that
we
may
in
all

appear
in
our
generation

with
our
predecessours

the
former

we
advise
you
to
put
them
in
the
front

in
the
wild
beasts

disaffected
to
the
Government

disturbers

fill
the
belly
with
blasphemy
and
heresy
,
and
so
throw
them
to
the
unreasonable
Multitude
to
be
devoured
;
for
so
did
the
chief
Priests
,
Scribes
,
and
Elders
,
our
Predecessours
,
and
the
whole
multitude
of
them
by
Jesus
to
Pilate
,
when
they
desired
him
to
crucifie
him
.
We
have
taken
this
fellow
(
said
they
,
as
we
say
now
of
those
who
witness
him
)
perverting

Nation
,
and
forbidding
to
give
tribute
to

saying
that
he
himself
is

And
so
did
the
Jews
which
believed
not
,
but
were
moved
with
envy
,
who
took
unto
themselves
certain
lewd
fellows
of
the
baser
sort
,
and
gathered
a
Company
,
and
set
all
the
City
in
an
uproar
,
and
ass●ulted
the
house
of
Jason
,
and
drew
him
and
the
brethren
before
the
Rulers
,
saying
,
These
that
have
turned
the
world
upside
down
are
come
hither
also
,
whom
Jason
hath
received
;
and
these
do
all
contrary
to
the
decrees
of
Cesar
,
saying
,
there
is
another
King

one
Jesus

And
thus
said
Tertullus

the
high
Priests

Elders

,
against

to
Felix
the
Governour
,
We
have
found
this

all

whether
this
be
not
the
plain
English

therewith
to
the
Constables
in

division
hereafter
to
be
mentioned
,
at
the
instigation

instruction
of
the
Priests

and
whether
it
be
not

naked
truth
of
the
things
contained
in
those
Papers
,

their
actions
,
without
straining

wresting

let
the
sober
judge
.
And
what
is
said
,
may
also
serve
as
some
answer
to
the
false
accusotions

slanders
therein

the
Priests

troubled

moved

hath
been
said

to
see

hear
of
so
many

of

WHereas
the
number
of
sturdy
Beggars
,
Rogues
,
and
wandring
idle
persons
,
is
greatly
increased
;
and
although
there
hath
been
excellent
good
Laws
made
for
the
punishment
of
them
,
yet
because
of
the
remisness
of
some
inferiour
Officers
the
same
hath
not
been
duely
executed
;
and
now
lately
divers
other
persons
called
by
the
name
of
Quakers
,
disaffected
to
the
present
Government
,
do
wander
up
and
down
the
Countrey
,
and
scatter
seditions
Papers
and
Books
,
to
the
deluding
of
many
weak
people
,
undermining
the
Fundamentals
of
Religion
,
denying
the
Scriptures
to
be
the
Word
of
God
,
and
the
godly
Ministers
of
England
to
be
the
true
Ministers
of
the
Gospel
;
and
so
as
by
them
,
many
Heresies
and
Blasphemies
are
by
them
vented
and
broached
abroad
,
to
the
great
dishonour
of
Almighty
God
,
and
grief
of
all
pious

religious
people
,
and
to
the
disturbance
of
the
peace
of
this
Common-wealth
.
It
is
therefore
ordered
,
that
the
Constables
of
every
Hundred
within
this

shall
forthwith
issue
out
their
Warrants
to
the
several
petty

particularly
requiring
them
thereby
,
upon

thereof
,
to
cause
good
Watches

Wards
to
be
kept
at
the
Bridges
and
High-wayes
within
their
several

it
shall
be
most
convenient
,
for
the
apprehending
of
all

,
idle
,
and
suspicious
persons
;
and
such
as
shall
be
therewith
apprehended
,
take
care
that
they
be
punished
,
and
conveyed
according
to
Law
.
And
that
they
likewise
apprehend
all
such
persons
as
travel
under
the
notion
or
name
of
Quakers
,
without
a
lawfull
Certificate
satisfying
from
whence
they
came
,
and
whither
they
are
travelling
;
or
shall
have
,

as
aforesaid

shall
interrupt

thereupon
bring
them
,
together
with
such
Books

,
before
some
Justice
of

Peace
of
the
said
County
,
thereby
to
be
dealt
with
as
the
Law
requireth
.
And
that
this
service
may
be
the
better
performed
,
it
is
ordered
,
that
persons
of
place

abilities
,
with
weapons
sufficient
,
be
set
to
watch

;
and
if
any
shall
refuse

neglect
their
duties
herein
,
the

are
thereupon
forthwith
to
certifie
the
same
to

That

might
prove

sent

Constables

Letter

Gentlemen
,
YOV
will
here
enclosed
finde
a
Warrant
from
the
General
Sessions
of
the
Peace
held
for
this
County
,
which
I
hope
seasonable
and
necessary
in
this
juncture
of
affairs
.
I
suppose
you
will
hardly
judge
it
cannot
but
sadden
every
good
and
honest
heart
to
observe
the
great
Apostacy
that
hath
happened
of
late
,
and
that
notwithstanding
the
clear
sun-shine
of
the
Gospel
amongst
us
:
yet
the
wicked
one
hath
sown
his
tares
,
and
they
are
grown
up
exceedingly
;
so
that
it
is
high
time
for
the
Magistrates
to
appear
for
the
supporting
of
these
great
Truths
which
have
been
so
long
professed
amongst
us
,
and
for
the
preventing
of
this
great
contagion
,
that
infects
almost
every
corner
of
this
Nation
.
Now
the
Authority
of
this
County
having
begun
to
do
their
parts
in
the
enclosed
Order
,
I
shall
make
it
my
earnest
request
unto
you
,
that
as
you
tender
the
foundation
of
all
our
hopes
of
salvation
by
Jesus
Christ
,
the
good
of
poor
souls
,
and
the
peace
of
the
Common-wealth
,
you
would
do
your
utmost
to
see
this
Order
put
in
execution
,
that
it
may
not
be

dead

The
duty
or
office
of
Justices
as
well
in
Sessions
,
as
out
of
Sessions
,
and
of
the
Judges
,
is
,
not
to
make
Laws
,
but
to
see
that
the
Laws
that
are
made
be
duely
put
in
execution
;
with
this
they
are
entrusted
,
unto
this
they
are
sworn
;
and
where
they
swerve
from
this
,
they
act
arbitrarily
,
and
are
liable
to
punishment
.
Were
the
power
of
making
Laws
,
of
such
Laws
as
these
,
in
them
,
what
need
is
there
of
Parliaments
?
To
what
end
have
been
all
the
sharp
conflicts
,
industrious
carefulness
,
hard
strugglings
,
and
bloody
contests
for
many
hundreds
of
years
past
,
especially
of
late
years
,
in
the
behalf
of
Parliamentary
Authority
,
and
the
Fundamental
Laws
which
from
them
sprang
,
and
which
declare
their
Authority
supream
and
absolute
?
To
what
purpose
have
been
the
hangings
by
the
neck
,
the
cuttings
of
the
throat
at
Tyburn
,
the
imprisonments
,
confiscation
of
estates
,
and
other
exemplary
punishments
executed
on
Judges
,
Justices
,
and
Ministers
of
state
,
for
arbitrary
acting
,
of
which
the
Records
of
this
Nation
speak
?

and
Canterbury's
,
and
Charles
Stuart's
,
as
Traitors
,
for
endeavouring
to
subvert
the
Fundamental
Laws
of
England
?
And
what
justice
was
there
in
all
these
,
if
a
general
Sessions
of
a
particular
County
may
make
Laws
,
such
Laws
as
aforesaid
,
beyond
what
ever
they
did
,
and
go
unpunished
?
Walk
through
the
Records
of
this
Nation
,
where
the
instances
aforesaid
are
registred
,
(
those
that
are
free
thereunto
)
search
Strafford's
Trial
,
and
Canterbury's
of
late
dayes
,
and
see
whether
it
was
ever
proved
against
them
that
ever
they
judicially
made
a
Law
against
the
Fundamental
Laws
and
Liberties
of
this
Nation
,
and
put
in
execution
?
Whether
ever
such
a
Law
as
this
was
made
,
such
Guards
set
up
,
such
Executions
done
by
vertue
thereof
,
as
is
hereafter
mentioned
?
Canterbury
committed
to
Prison
,
and
assigned
not
the
cause
in
the
Warrant
of
Commitment
,
as
is
the
Law
of
the
Land
,
and
it
proved
Capital
to
him
.
Imprisonments
contrary
to
Law
were
reckoned
up
against
Strafford
,
making
up
the
number
of
his
cumulative
Treasons
,
which
cost
him
his
head
.
Charles
Stuart
and
his
Lords
committed
men
,
is
Canterbury
aforesaid
,
and
early
he
heard
of
it
in
the
Parliament
,
the
third
of
his
reign
,
and
was
constrained
to
submit
unto
the
Petition
of
Right
,
to
keep
that
his
wrong
doing
from
being
further
questioned
.
And
for
his
other
arbitrary
actions
,
and
what
followed
thereupon
in
these
three
Nations
,
and
befell
his
particular
,
needs
not
to
be
mentioned
,
being
recorded
every
where
in
the
blood
and
miseries
of
the
late
Wars
,
and
the
destruction
of
him
,
and
his
Family
;
the
dreadfull
and
sad
examples
of
his
righteous
judgements
,
who
renders
to
every
one
according
to
his
deeds
.
But
these
things
to
the
m●n
of
this
generation
,
to
these
Justices
,
are
of
little
value
.
They
can
go
over
the
Graves
of
these
multitudes
who
have
perished
for
these
things
,
without
fear
.
They
can
gaze
upon
all
the
dreadfull
desolations
and
transact
on
s
because
of
these
things
without
astonishment
;
and
can
dare
to
do
those
things
to-day
,
which
yesterday
were
made
before
their
eyes
the
saddest
examples
of
the
vengeance
of
God
;
not
fearing
before
the
Lord
,
because
of
his
judgements
which
he
hath
brought
forth
on
the
earth
,
but
w●th
a
hardned
heart
,
and
a
stiffneck
,
and
a
brow
of
brass
,
proceed
to
act
the
same
,
yea
greater
abominations
and
unrighteousnesses
than
those
,
for
which
things
sake
he
cut
them
off
.
For
although
every
Englishman
is
alike
born
free
to
travel
,
be
,
or
abide
in
any
part
of
England
,
or
the
Dominions
thereof
;
and
to
deny
him
this
,
is
to
deny
him
his
b●thright
,
and
is
as
unreasonable
as
to
deny
him
the
air
to
breath
in
;
and
a
denial
of
this
to
one
man
,
is
a
denial
unto
all
,
as
hath
been
said
.
Though
the
high-way
●s
are
equally
free
for
all
men
to
pass
,
as
free
for
the
men
of
Cumb●rland
in
Devon
,
as
for
the
men
of
Devon
who
live
on
the
other
side
of
the
way
,
and
so
for
the
men
of
Devon
in
Cumberland
.
Though
to
stop
or
hinder
a
man
in
his
peaceable
travell●ng
in
the
high
way
is
a
b●each
of
the
peace
,
and
an
overthrow
of
society
amongst
men
.
Though
Magna
Charta

saith
,
No
man
shall
be
t●ken
,
imprisoned
,
or
exiled
,
(
and
to
be
barr'd
from
travelling
one
part
of

a
banishment
)
or
any
way
otherwise
destroyed
;
nor
we
shall
not
pass
upon
him
but
by
lawfull
judgement
of
his
Peers
,
or
by
the
Law
of
the
Land
.
Though
the
Law
of
the
Land
above
all
things
takes
care
of
,
and
values
the
liberty
of
a
mans
person
.
Though
for
those
who
are
by
Commission
the
Ministers
of
the
Law
,
otherwise
to
act
than
in
the
execution
of
the
Law
,
renders
them
accountable
to
the
justice
of
the
Law
,
as
it
is
perjury
in
them
so
to
do
,
who
are
sworn
by
the
Law
to
execute
.
Though
arbitrary
proceedings
in
such
as
are
entrusted
with
the
execution
of
the
Law
,
have
been
adjudged
by
Parliaments
tyrannical
and
treasonable
,
and
capital
Executions
have
been
done
accordingly
,
as
hath
been
instanced
.
Though
any
party
of
men
under
a
Government
,
to
make
Laws
,
being
not
lawfully
authorized
so
to
do
,
for
the
binding
of
others
,
and
thereunto
to
require
obedience
,
be
the
setting
up
of
themselves
above
the
Law
,
and
treading
it
under
their
feet
,
and
rendring
of
them
whom
they
do
so
bind
,
their
Slaves
and
Vassals
,
and
so
is
treason
.
Though
to
raise
men
,
and
arm
them
,
and
to
keep
Guards
with
such
,
apprehend
and
imprison
,
where
the
Law
doth
not
impower
,
(
and
no
where
doth
the
Law
impower
any
so
to
do
especially
,
in
opposition
to
Law
,
and
Liberty
,
and
the
destruction
thereof
)
is
also
Treason
.
Though
Liberty
of
Conscience
is
a
chief
Fundamental
in
the
present
Government
.
Though
for
the
Liberties
aforesaid
,
and
for
it
,
have
been
the
late
wars
,
changes
and
revolutions
which
are
the
price
thereof
.
Though
to
go
about
,
doing
of
good
,
be
that
which
Jesus
of
Nazareth
,
and
his
Prophets
,
and
Apostles
did
;
and
to
visit
the
Prisoners
be
that
which
he
requireth
,
even

who
is
the
Son
of
man
,
the
King
,
who
when
he
shall
come
in
his
glory
,

his
holy
Angels
with
him

upon
the
Throne
of
his
glory

shall
be

Nations

to

Depart
from

cursed
into

fire

for
the
Devil

was
in
Prison
,

not

.
And
so
is
an
exercise
of
faith
in
Jesus
Christ
the
true
Religion
,
which
the
Government
requireth
to
be
protected
,
as
hath
been
mentioned
.
Yet
have
these
Justices
by
a
Law
of
their
own
making
,
(
contrary
to
what
hath
been
aforesaid
,
(
the
Law
of
the
Nation
)
and
to
what
might
further
be
added
in
demonstration
of
the
illegality
and
unreasonableness
of
these
their
proceedings
,
could
this
short
Relation
bear
a
full
discussing
thereof
)
set
up
armed
Guards
,
under
the
name
of
Watches
&
Wards
on
the
high-ways
and
bridges
throughout
the
County
of
Devon
,
requiring
them
to
apprehend
all
such
,
whom
by
and
in
their
Law
they
reproach
,
distinguish
,
and
brand
with
the
scorned
name
of
Quakers
,
as
travel
thereon
;
whom
having
a
minde
to
destroy
,
and
to
keep
from
passing
to
visit
their
Friends
in
Prison
at
Lanceston
in
Cornwall
,
suffering
there
for
the
testimony
of
Jesus
,
as
hath
been
said
;
unto
which
place
there
is
no
passage
out
of
England
by
land
,
but
through
that
County
;
and
to
hinder
from
going
to
and
fro
that
County
,
lest
they
should
declare
against
,
and
manifest
the
wickedness
in
Priest
and
People
.
And
that
these
their
cruel
and
tyrannical
actions
might
have
some
pretence
,
and
cover
and
prevail
with
those
in
whom
the
same
spirit
ruleth
,
to
execute
them
to
the
purpose
.
They
by
and
in
their
Law
falsly
accuse
,
and
charge
,
and
slander
all
such
whom
they
so
reproach
,
distinguish
,
and
brand
,
to
be
disaffected
to
the
Government
,
disturbers
of
the
publick
peace
,
scatterers
of
seditious
Books
and
Papers
,
venters
and
broachers
abroad
of
many
Heresies
and
Blasphemies
,
with
much
more
of
the
like
stuff
.
And
that
this
service
(
as
they
call
it
,
but
poor
hearts
!
they
will
one
day
sadly
know
whose
service
it
is
,
when
the
Master
payes
them
their
wages
)
may
be
the
better
performed
,
they
order
that
persons
of
place
and
abilities
,
with
sufficient
weapons
,
be
thus
set
to
watch
and
ward
;
and
if
any
shall
neglect
their
duties
(
as
they
term
the
obedience
which
they
require
to
their
illegal
and
monstrous
command
)
herein
,
they
require
the
Constables
thereupon
forthwith
to
certifie
the
same
to
the
next
Justice
,
whom
they
desire
(
by
and
in
the
name
of
this
Court
)
to
certifie
the
same
,
and
to
binde
over
to
the
next
Sessions
,
to
answer
the
said
neglect
.
So
that
,
in
plain
English
,
he
on
whom
they
thus
place
the
name
of
a
Quaker
in
scorn
and
derision
,
and
by
distinction
,
(
who
every
where
is
surely
known
by
his
obedience
to
the
Lord
,
and
to
the
Law
of
his
God
,
which
he
dares
not
shift
from
confessing
openly
before
all
,
for
the
avoyding
the
unreasonableness
and
fury
of
men
,
in
whom
the
Prince
of
darkness
rules
,
as
the
Professions
and
People
of
the
world
can
;
which
is
a
sure
character
on
such
an
one
by
which
to
finde
him
,
in
whom
no
occasion
or
fault
can
be
found
,
but
concerning
the
Law
of
his
God
,
as
it
was
with
Daniel
)
must
be
such
an
one
as
they
have
made
and
described
in
and
by
their
Law
,
unsight
and
unseen
,
unknown
and
unheard
,
be
he
what
he
will
,
if
he
be
one
whom
in
and
by
this
our
Law
they
call
a
Quaker
,
watch
and
wardsmen
,
he
is
disaffected
to
the
Government
,
a
Disturber
of
the
publick
peace
,
a
Scatterer
of
seditious
Books
and
Papers
,
a
Venter
and
Broacher
of
Heresies
and
Blasphemies
;
we
say
it
,
we
make
him
so
,
be
he
so
or
no
,
lay
hold
on
him
,
apprehend
him
we
require
you
,
bring
him
with
his
Books
and
Papers
,
(
if
he
hath
any
)
before
one
of
us
,
to
be
dealt
withall
according
to
this
our
Law
.
And
that
indeed
this
unheard
of
iniquity
thus
set
up
by
a
Law
contrary
to
the
Law
of
the
Nation
,
may
be
effectually
executed
,
the
strict
provisions
in
the
order
aforesaid
(
though
such
as
hath
been
said
)
are
not
thought
enough
,
(
wickedness

thinketh
its

of

part
of

Army
in
that
County

far
as
the
concurrence
of
a
chief
Officer
may
serve
it
,
must
be
had
:
And
for
this
purpose
John
Blackmore
,
Major
to
General
Disborow
,
and
a
Justice
of
Peace
,
must
be
dealt
withall
,
to
render
the
Order
effectual
in
the
execution
,
as
from
him
proceeded
the
motion
of
the
Order
to
the
Sessions
;
who
being
prevailed
with
,
debaseth
himself
as
low
as

a
Priest
,
and
his
back
to
his

professed
principles
,
and
friends
,
and
to
the
smoke
of
the
bottomless
pit
,
from
whence
came
the
Order
aforesaid
,
and
the
Letter
,
even
from
the
black
generation
,
sets
to
his
hand
,
and
makes
their
his
earnest
request
to
all
the
Constables
,
That
now
the
Authority
of
that
County
having
begun
to
do
their
parts
in
the
Order
which
he
enclosed
,
(
which
is
so
and
such
as
hath
been
expressed
)
they
would
do
their
utmost
to
see
it
put
in
execution
,
as
they
tender
the
foundation
of
all
their
hopes
of
salvation
by
Jesus
Christ
,
the
good
of
poor
souls
,
and
the
peace
of
the
Commonwealth
,
that
so
it
might
not
be
a
dead
letter
,
but
living
direction
to
all
within
their
Division
;
and
assures
them
of
his
interest
and
assistance
therein
for
their
encouragement
,
though
he
hath
drawn
his
sword
,
and
been
at
the
shedding
of
a
great
deal
of
blood
for
Liberty
of
Conscience
,
for
the
Liberties
of
England
,
of
which
he
hath
made
a
long
and
a
large
profession
,
when
it
was
the
case
of
the
Army
,
and
the
honest
men
(
then
)
who
owned
them
throughout
England
,
against
the
Priests
,
and
the
Common
Enemy
,
who
struck
at
the
roots
of
the
Liberties
of
the
Nation
,
and
of
Conscience
,
which
now
his
pride
hath
made
him
to
forget
.
And
so
his
painted
profession
is
(
now
)
at
an
end
,
it
will
cover
him
no
longer
,
his
sepulcher
is
open
,
and
seen
to
be
full
of
rottenness
,
and
dead
mens
bones
,
the
bones
,
the
mangled
carcases
,
the
blood
and
sufferings
of
all
in
the
late
wars
for
liberty
of
Conscience
,
or
the
liberties
of
the
Nation

Poor

Blackmore

how
hast
thou
now
descended
into
the
pit
,

made
thy
grave
with
the
uncircumcised
.
And
such
was
the

of
this
Officer
of

Army

,
and
from
visiting
of
the
prisoners
of
the
Lord
there
.
And
of
these
the
Guards
demanded
,
Are
ye
Quakers
?
Will
ye
own
the
Quakers
?
Will
ye
deny
the
Quakers
?
We
have
an
Order
of
Sessions
to
stop
and
apprehend
all
Quakers
;
and
so
they
fall
to
rifling
of
their
pockets
,
and
taking
away
what
Letters
,
Papers
,
or
Books
they
found
about
them
,
as
did
the
Justices
;
one
of
whom
,
(
to
wit
)
John
Champion
,
called
John
Brown
from
the
rest
that
were
apprehended
with
him
,
into
his
Parlour
,
and
there
beat
him
with
his
own
hands
,
he
standing
still
,
and
saying
nothing
;
and
then
sent
him
and
the
rest
(
one
of
whom
,
viz.
Jane
Ingram
,
is
since
there
dead
)
to
prison
,
where
he
was
laid
in
irons
,
and
some
of
them
of
their
money
did
the
Guards
rob
,
(
one
man
of
10
s.
as
they
confess'd
themselves
)
and
spent
much
of
it
before
his
face
in
strong
drink
,
abusing
him
,
and
setting
him
forth
a
scorn
throughout
the
Countrey
as
he
passed
;
which
he
acquainted
Major
Saunders
,
one
of
the
Justices
,
(
who
sent
divers
of
those
Friends
to
prison
)
that
he
might
do
justice
while
the
Constable
was
in
Town
who
took
away
his
money
,
and
so
used
him
;
but
he
refused
so
to
do
,
or
to
meddle
therein
.
This
is
Major
Saunders
,
and
the
end
of
his
long
and
large
profession
also
;
but
hath
now
forgotten
it
,
and
is
j
yned
with
them
,
and
with
them
is
gone
down
to
the
pit
,
and
his
grave
hath
he
made
with
the
uncircumc
sed
;
who
knew
the
day
when
those
at
Exon
rose
up
against
him
and
his
souldiers
,
as
Hereticks
and
Schismaticks
.
And
another
who
was
carrying
money
and
other
provisions
to
the
prisoners
,
the
Constable
robb'd
of
20
s.
of
that
money
at
the
eleventh
hour
of
the
night
on
the
Guard
where
they
had
him
prisoner
,
though
he
said
,
if
he
took
his
money
from
him
,
they
robb'd
him
.
And
one
Parker
,
one
of
M
jor
Blackmore's
Troopers
,
charged
the
Inn-keeper
at
Exon
to
detain
Katherine
Evans
hired
horse
,
(
who
with
John
Bolton
,
James
Naylor
,
and
Thomas
Hawkins
,
were
brought
from
Okehampton
prisoners
)
whereupon
the
Inn-keeper
refused
to
deliver
her
horse
,
saying
,
he
had
an
order
from
the
said
Trooper
to
detain
it
,
and
that
the
said
Trooper
said
he
had
order
from
his
Major
so
to
do
.
And
after
she
was
so
taken
from
her
,
a
Justice
sent
her
on
foot
to
her
outward
being
from
tithing
to
tithing
with
a
pass
;
which
horse
and
the
moneys
aforesaid
are
yet
detained
,
as
are
the
persons
of
those
21.
in
prison
in
Exeter
to
this
day
,
as
is
particularly
instanced
hereafter
with
their
names
,
and
by
whom
,
and
the
Justices
that
committed
them
,
and
the
proceedings
of
Judge
Nicholas
with
them
at
the
Assizes
,
to
which
the
Reader
is
referred
.
And
as
from
the
Priests
arose
this
unheard
of
cruel
persecution
,
so
were
they
not
able
(
so
full
were
they
of
it
)
to
contain
themselves
from
appearing
openly
in
acting
therein
;
of
which
an
instance
or
two
shall
be
given
.
On
the
20.
of
the
6.
month
John
Stubs
,
William
Ames
,
and
Hester
Bedle
,
as
they
were
passing
towards
Lanceston
,
met
with
a
guard
at
Pogel
,
and
two
Priests
by
them
,
the
one
Priest
of
Pogell
,
the
others
name
was
Waldron
,
as
said
the
people
.
The
Guard
examined
them
first
,
and
then
pass'd
them
over
to
the
Priests
.
The
Priests
having
took
them
in
hand
,
one
of
them
,
(
viz.
)
Parson
Waldron
,
said
to
the
Guard
,
Watchmen
,
you
were
best
keep
them
,
for
they
are
suspicious
,
and
I
do
the
more
suspect
them
because
they
came
from
B●istol
.
What
are
we
suspicious
of
?
said
one
of
them
:
That
Priest
answered
,
of
being
Quakers
;
and
asked
them
whether
they
were
not
such
as
were
so
called
?
They
answered
,
they
were
.
Then
said
he
to
the
Watchmen
,
you
must
not
let
them
pass
,
for
therefore
are
the
Watches
set
,
that
no●e
might
pass
who
go
under
that
name
.
And
the
other
Priest
them
with
much
passion
,
they
went
about
the
Devils
work
,
(
who
were
going
to
visit
the
Innocent
in
Prison
)
and
with
his
message
;
and
laughed
and
scoff'd
at
what
one
of
them
said
to
him
in
the
dread
and
power
of
the
Lord
.
And
Parson
Waldron
said
,
that
he
thought
they
must
get
the
Countrey
to
knock
them
in
the
heads
,
or
beat
their
brains
out
;
and
that
if
the
power
were
in
his
hands
,
he
would
root
them
out
of
the
land
.
And
the
Priest
of
Pogell
said
,
it
was
pity
they
were
not
all
rooted
out
of
the
land
.
I
'le
warrant
,
said
Parson
Waldron
,
this
Parliament
will
root
them
all-out
;
and
this
he
said
several
times
.
And
having
spoken
a
notorious
lye
of
one
of
those
Friends
before
the
people
of
something
that
was
unseemly
,
which
the
Priest
said
he
should
then
do
,
which
the
people
present
bore
witness
it
was
not
so
,
having
both
seen
and
heard
the
passages
,
though
he
was
taken
with
a
lye
in
his
mouth
;
yet
so
far
was
he
from
blushing
,
or
being
ash●med
,
that
he
laughed
thereat
,
and
said
,
Though
he
were
a
lyar
,
yet
all
were
not
like
him
.
And
having
used
much
scoffings
and
railings
,
the
Priests
departed
that
night
,
after
they
had
given
order
to
the
Guard
to
keep
them
prisoners
.
So
by
those
two
Priests
order
were
they
kept
ten
hours
prisoners
.
The
next
morning
the
Priest
of
Pogell
came
again
,
and
railed
at
them
while
they
were
prisoners
:
whereupon
one
of
them
drew
near
towards
him
,
to
speak
to
him
;
he
retired
back
,
and
bid
him
stand
off
;
and
when
he
was
asked
,
where
his
moderation
was
?
he
answered
,
he
ought
not
to
be
moderate
in
the
things
of
God
.
And
the
woman
he
thrust
from
him
,
and
threatned
to
kick
her
about
,
and
said
to
the
Watchmen
,
that
they
must
be
carried
to
Exon.
And
of
the
same
minde
was
one
Priest
Ham
at
Lanceston
,
who
in
his
farewell
Lecture-Sermon
there
exhorted
the
people
to
tread
the
bodies
of
the
people
called
Quakers
in
the
street
,
and
taught
them
how
to
write
their
names
in
the
dust
.
And
another
Priest
drew
the
Warrant
by
which
he
was
committed
whom
the
Constable
robb'd
of
the
20
s.
of
the
money
he
was
carrying
to
the
prisoners
as
aforesaid
,
at
the
instigation
of
that
Priest
.
Which
Warrant
,
for
the
rarity
thereof
,
and
that
the
sober
may
see
what
unheard
of
Monsters
this
black
generation
brings
forth
,
and
for
that
it
hath
an
ET
CETERA
in
it
,
as
hath
P.
Ceelyes
,
as
is
aforesaid
,
and
because
it
is
an
interpretation
of
the
Order
of
Sessions
,
and
of
the
proceedings
thereupon
,
and
of
the
pit
out
of
which
it
proceeded
under
one
of
the
founders
drawing
and
hand-writing
,
take
as
followeth
.
To
all
Mayors
,
Bayliffs
,
Sheriffs
,
Constables
,
Tithingmen
,
and
all
Officers
whom
these
may
concern
.
WHereas
there
was
an
Order
issued
from
this
Bench
for
the
apprehending
of
all
Rogues
,
and
Vagabonds
,
and
in
particular
for
the
apprehending
of
those
who
pass
up
and
down
the
Countrey
under
the
name
of
Quakers
,
as
disturbers
of
the
peace
of
this
present
Government
,
and
as
underminers
of
the
Fundamentals
of
Religion
,
the
spreaders
of
Heresies
and
Blasphemies
,
&c.
Now
there
being
one
that
owns
the
name
of
a
Quaker
being
apprehended
,
and
brought
before
me
,
who
hath
Letters
,
and
a
Book
tending
to
the
spreading
of
the
dangerous
opinions
of
that
party
,
and
without
any
Certificate
at
all
from
whence
he
came
,
and
whither
he
will
.
I
do
therefore
in
pursuance
of
the
said
Order
issued
from
this
Bench
,
commit
the
said
Quaker
unto
the
Goal
of
this
County
,
there
to
remain
till
he
be
discharged
by
due
order
of
Law
.
And
by
these
presents
I
do
require
the
Keeper
of
the
said
Goal
to
take
him
the
said
Quaker
,
whose
name
as
he
saith
is
Thomas
Rawlinson
,
into
his
custody
,
and
him
safely
to
keep
,
untill
by
Authority
he
be
set
at
liberty
.
Given
under
my
hand
and
seal
at
Telcot
this
7th
.
of
August
,
1656.
Edw.
Aiscot
.
It
would
be
too
long
to
take
this
Monster
in
pieces
,
and
fully
to
describe
it
;
nor
will
this
relation
,
which
hath
such
variety
of
unheard
of
illegal
and
monstrous
proceedings
necessarily
to
be
spoken
to
,
bear
a
large
discourse
of
this
,
or
of
divers
other
material
passages
mentioned
therein
;
each
of
which
(
were
it
in
the
time
of
the
former
generation
,
wherein
much
was
said
of
a
little
,
in
comparison
to
what
is
in
this
day
acted
)
would
increase
into
an
entire
and
voluminous
discourse
,
which
scarcely
with
the
bare
relation
is
now
passed
over
.
Such
are
the
excesses
of
cruelty
because
of
conscience
,
in
this
day
of
the
highest
profession
by
the
highest
Professors
,
that
that
which
yesterday
made
the
whole
Nation
to
ring
,
and
drew
forth
the
sword
of
war
to
relieve
it
,
passeth
this
day
over
in
silence
,
and
without
observation
,
being
look'd
upon
rather
as
favour
than
cruelty
,
as
kindness
than
a
furious
persecution
;
and
it
is
accounted
well
where
the
extremity
of
sufferings
are
not
the
Companions
of
those
who
have
the
testimony
of
Jesus
.
This
Warrant
lyes
plain
enough
to
be
understood
by
him
whose
eyes
are
in
the
least
measure
opened
;
who
when
he
hath
read
the
Priest
of
Talcots
name
that
drew
it
,
which
is
Whaire
,
and
the
Constable
which
robb'd
that
friend
of
the
prisoners
money
,
which
is
William
Norcut
of
Clayton
,
is
left
to
judge
thereof
as
it
is
.
The
Guard
apprehends
him
whom
they
call
Quaker
,
at
Clayton
,
as
he
was
peaceably
passing
on
the
way
with
necessaries
for
the
prisoners
;
the
Authority
is
the
Order
of
Sessions
;
the
Priest
draws
the
Warrant
,
and
in
the
Warrant
uttereth
his
mischievous
desires
;
the
Justice
signs
and
seals
it
;
the
Constable
robs
him
of
the
money
sent
by
him
to
the
prisoners
to
supply
their
necessaries
after
this
commitment
,
whom
so
to
do
the
Priest
sets
on
,
and
then
sends
him
to
Exon
Goal
with
a
Guard
;
so
they
wrap
it
up
.
But
not
a
word
is
there
in
this
Priests
Warrant
of
the
Protector
,
no
,
they
like
not
the
37.
Article
of
his
Government
:
therefore
a
new
Authority
have
they
in
this
County
found
out
,
and
raised
,
where
withall
thus
to
persecute
,
(
viz.
)
the
General
Sessions
,
and
so
the
Warrant
runs
in
the
name
and
authority
,
not
of
the
Protector
,
though
in
his
name
all
administration
of
Government
is
to
pass
,
but
of
this
Bench
;
and
yet
chargeth
them
,
whom
it
called
Quakers
,
as
disaffected
to
the
Government
,
one
of
whom
this
Priest
hath
much
ado
to
call
by
his
proper
name
,
so
full
of
malice
is
he
,
but
with
a
name
of
reproach
,
this
Quaker
,
there
being
one
that
owns
the
name
of
a
Quaker
brought
before
me
,
I
do
therefore
in
pursuance
of
the
said
Order
issued
from
this
Bench
,
commit
the
said
Quaker
to
the
Goal
of
this
County
,
&c.
And
by
these
presents
I
do
require
the
Keeper
of
the
said
Goal
to
●ake
him
the
said
Quaker
,
whose
name
as
he
saith
is
Thomas
Rawlinson
,
into
his
custody
,
and
him
safely
to
keep
untill
by
authority
(
not
a
sillable
of
the
Protector
,
or
his
authority
)
he
be
set
at
liberty
.
Given
,
&c.
Doth
not
this
shew
that
the
Priests
have
as
little
minde
to
the
Protector
,
as
they
have
to
the
people
called
Quakers
?
That
the
same
spirit
that
imprisons
them
for
coming
into
their
coasts
,
leaves
his
name
out
,
and
his
authority
,
and
yet
directs
it
to
all
Mayors
,
Bayliffs
,
Sheriffs
,
Constables
,
Tithingmen
,
and
all
Officers
,
&c.
Doth
not
here
appear
from
the
grave
the
spirit
that
was
in
Christopher
Love
Priest
,
and
his
fellow
traitors
,
who
being
within
the
jurisdiction
of
this
Commonwealth
,
took
upon
them
to
commissionate
divers
men
to
treat
with
Charles
Stuart
,
the
proclaimed
Traitor
of
the
Government
,
at
Breda
,
and
with
the
Scots
,
for
the
putting
him
into
what
they
called
his
Father's
Throne
and
Dominion
in
England
,
for
which
and
his
other
Treasons
he
lost
his
head
at
Tower-hill
,
the
22.
of
the
5.
month
,
1651.
See
the
Book
entituled
,
A
short
Plea
for
the
Common-wealth
,
and
therein
the
Priests
treasons
.
Doth
not
the
sprouts
of
the
Bishops
appear
in
the
ET
CETERA
in
the
Warrant
?
Is
Christopher
Love
dead
,
and
the
Scots
and
Charles
Stuart
overcome
,
and
that
Countrey
subdued
,
and
the
Presbyterian
,
Malignant
power
broken
in
pieces
,
and
are
the
Bishops
plucked
up
root
and
branch
,
and
these
things
so
?
Is
it
not
time
to
look
about
?
What
is
next
?
These
are
some
of
the
fruits
of
the
Ministry
,
Magistracy
,
Authority
and
Profession
of
the
County
of
Devon
,
Apples
of
Sodom
,
Grapes
of
Gomorrah
,
clusters
of
bitterness
,
wine
of
the
poyson
of
Dragons
,
of
the
cruel
venome
of
Asps
.
These
are
some
of
the
effects
of
the
loud
cry
of
the
Order
of
Sessions
,
some
of
the
executions
done
by
them
to
whom
Major
Blackmore
makes
it
his
earnest
request
,
as
they
tender
the
hopes
of
salvation
by
Jesus
Christ
,
the
good
of
poor
souls
,
and
the
peace
of
the
Commonwealth
,
to
do
their
utmost
to
see
this
order
put
in
execution
.
These
are
some
of
the
living
works
of
darkness
from
them
to
whom
his
request
is
made
,
and
his
dead
letter
sent
for
their
direction
,
copies
of
which
he
desires
,
if
the
Constables
please
,
(
what
a
low
condescention
is
here
?
)
to
be
sent
to
the
petty
Constables
,
that
so
it
may
be
put
in
practice
;
and
lo
here
it
is
,
here
is
the
practice
,
a
wicked
,
robbing
,
bloody
practice
,
as
it
hath
proved
.
Behold
what
his
bidding
them
be
confident
wherein
his
small
interest
or
assistance
(
filthy

See
to
what
his
interest
,
and
assistance
,
and
encouragement
is
;
and
whether
this
be
the
preventing
of
the
designs
of
Satan
,

his

,
or
his
stratagems
,
and
the

And
yet
this
Major
Blackmore
,
when
the
Constables
have
brought
him
some
of
the
Friends
aforesaid
,
whom
they
have
taken
up
with
these
armed
Guards
as
they
were
peaceably
passing
on
the
way
to
visit
their
Friends
in
prison
at
Lanceston
,
at
his
earnest
request
in
his
Letter
aforesaid
,
and
by
vertue
of
the
Order
for
that
purpose
,
which
he
moved
the
Sessions
to
make
,
hath
seemed
to
be
angry
with
the
Constables
for
bringing
them
to
him
,
when
they
have
brought
such
before
him
so
apprehended
,
and
refused
to
meddle
with
their
commitment
▪
as
if
he
disliked
the
action
,
and
had
nothing
to
do
in
the
Guards
,
and
the
raising
and
placing
of
them
for
their
apprehensions
,
as
he
hath
sought
to
be
understood
in
his
discourse
to
some
of
the
Prisoners
,
blaming
the
Justices
for
imprisoning
of
them
,
and
saying
that
he
imprisoned
none
.
Is
not
this
man
worse
than
Pilate
,
who
apprehended
not
Jesus
,
but
sought
to
release
him
,
knowing
that
for
envy
they
had
delivered
him
;
and
often
ask-asked
them
,
what
evil
hath
he
done
?
I
finde
no
fault
in
him
,
nor
Herod
;
and
when
he
saw
he
could
prevail
nothing
,
but
that
rather
a
tumult
was
made
,
he
took
water
,
and
washed
his
hands
before
the
multitude
,
saying
,
I
am
innocent
of
the
blood
of
this
just
person
,
see
ye
to
it
.
And
is
he
not
as
bad
as
the
high
Priests
,
Scribes
,
Elders
,
and
the
whole
multitude
of
them
,
who
when
they
had
gotten
Jesus
to
be
betrayed
,
and
with
a
band
of
men
with
swords
and
staves
to
be
apprehended
,
that
they
might
crucifie
him
,
sent
him
to
Pilate
to
crucifie
him
,
but
went
not
into
the
Judgement
Hall
,
(
why
do
you
bring
them
to
me
?
I
like
this
not
,
I
have
imprisoned
none
)
lest
they
should
he
defiled
,
and
so
not
eat
the
Passeover
?
They
know
not
to
do
right
,
saith
the
Lord
,
who
store
up
violence
and
robbery
in
their
palaces
.
Tremble
O
thou
Earth
at
this
,
be
thou
ashonished
,
and
horribly
afraid
,
for
the
day
of
the

It
would
be

to
instance
of
the
order
from
above
read
in
the

Steeplehouse
by
Parsons
the
singing-man

the

of

was
Governour

the

so
abused

caused
Margaret
Kellum
to
be
sent
to
Prison
for
speaking
to
him
in
his
house
the
word
of
the
Lord
,
as
she
was
moved
after
her

sending
in
to
him
that
she
desired
to
speak
with
him
,
and
his
coming
to
her
,
and
bidding
her
come
in
,
when
she
told
him
she
had
something
from
the
Lord
to
declare
to
him
;
and
what
she
declared
to
him
from
the
Lord
,
he
confessed
to
be
very
good
,
and
truth
.
Nevertheless
he
sent
her
to
Prison
,
where
after
a
cruel
entertainment
,
being
kept
the
most
part
of
two
dayes
and
a
night
in
a
wide
room
in
a
cold
winter
season
,
and
his
declaring
that
he
would
examine
all
that
came
in

Margaret

,
an
aged
woman
(
who
desired
with
others
to
come
into
the
Town
hall
,
where
she
was
brought
)
with
his
own
hands
in
a
rage
down
the
stairs
,
to
the
endangering
of
her
life
with
the
violence
of
the
fall
,
which
might
have
been
,
had
not
the
press
of
people
kept
her
from
falling
above
two
or
three
steps
.
She
was
twitched
up
by
a
pully
,
and
a
rope
fastned
about
her
,
with
which
they
lade
their
packs
on
a
Carriers
horse
,

arms
being
tyed
behind
her
,
and
her
legs

with
cords
as
a
pack
.
She
was
driven
ten
miles
towards
Exeter
before
she
was
loosned
,

then
brought
to
Exon
Goal
,
and
tryed
at

Assizes
there
;
and
Katherine
Martingdale
and

Cotton
hath
he
since
imprisoned
,
as
is
mentioned
in

Relation
.
This
is
Christopher
Ceely
,
an
old
Persecutor
;
and
one
Vowell
was
with
him
in
the
persecution
of
Margaret
Kellum
,
who
afterwards
sate
Judge
of
the
Court
at
Exon
,
by
which
she
was
tryed
.
Nicholas
Cole
was
one
,
who
is
now
persecuted
by
him
,
and
Mary
Cole
his
wife
also
,
as
such
as
the
world
calls
Quakers
,
and
the
Independents
also
,
who
meeting
hath
been
tumulted
,
and
the
back
door
broke
open
,
and
the
people
met
beaten
and
wounded
;
so
that
they
coming
into
the
street
,
and
thinking
thereby
to
avoyd
some
of
their
cruelty
,
there
they
were
fallen
upon
also
;
and
when
they
called
to
the
Magistrates
as
they
passed
from
the
Steeple-house
to
restrain
the
rude
Multitude
,
they
answered
,
they
justly
deserved
what
was
done
to
them
;
which
so
encouraged
the
tumult
,
that
murther
had
been
committed
,
had
not
some
Souldiers
of
the
Town
come
and
rescued
them
out
of
their
hands
.
And
of
this
the
Commonwealth
had
experience
,
whose
Judges
the
Magistrates
refused
to
accompany
as
usual
at
the
Assizes
,
which
occasioned
the
removing
of
the
Assizes
once
to
Tiverton
from
Exeter
;
and
against
whose
government
they
exceedingly
kick'd
,
after
the
death
of
the
late
King
,
as
they
have
done
at
every
thing
that
savoured
of
honesty
,
of
liberty
of
conscience
,
and
of
the
Nation
,
which
were
the
workings
of
the
Lord
in
the
day
of
his
power
,
and
brought
forth
by
him
,
and
covered
with
his
presence
,
to
the
finishing
of
the
wars
,
which
was
a
figure
of
that
which
is
now
come
to
reign
,

in

to
the
reigning
thereof
,
(
viz.
)
the
seed

of
Jesus
Christ
,
who
is
come
,
whose
right
it
is

of
whose
dominion
there
shall
be
no

,
let
the
rage
of
the
Heathen
be
never
so
much
thereat

the
scorners
make
it
a
derision
,
against

in
this
hour

it
is
risen
up
into
a

of

the

deliverance
from

all
which
the

effected

removed

O

remember
what
Balack

what
Balaam
the
son
of
Beor
answered
from
Shittim
unto
Gilgal
,
that
ye
may
know

righteousness
of
the
Lord

the
cry
is
now

,
blasphemy
,
sedition
,
deniers
of
the
godly
Ministers
of
England
to
be
the
true
Ministers
of
the
Gospel
,
venters

broachers
of
heresies

blasphemies
;
Arm
,
arm
,
turn
them
out

shut
the
gates
against

Schismaticks

the

then

no
not
so
much
as
to
visit
their

in
prison
;
apprehend

imprison
them
,
is
the
Law
now
,
by
the
men
of
the

generation
,
the
Priests

their
Disciples

The
walls
of
Exon
were
the
bounds
then

the

County
of

the
extent
now

a

,
by
the
Authority
of

County
,
(
not
of

Protector

That
was
to
keep

City
,
from
guarding
of
them
:
This
to
set
up
armed
Guards
to
take
up
and
imprison
all
such
of
them
whom
they
now
call
Quakers
,
that
travel
peaceably
on
the
way
without
staff
or
weapon
.
And
what
may
not
this
generation
be
expected
further
to
do
,
as
they
have
power
in
their
hands
,
and
opportunity
,
if
in
such
things
as
these
they
may
act
and
prosper
?
Have
they
not
now
learnt
a
way
to
keep
any
sort
of
men
from
travelling
,
or
passing
,
whom
they
dislike
?
Put
a
brand
upon
them
,
fill
up
an
order
with
monstrous
and
false
accusations
,
and
set
up
armed
Guards
,
make
what
themselves
have
forged
the
pretence
,
and
all
such
apprehend
and
imprison
.
Is
not
this
a
fine
way
to
deal
with
the
present
powers
,
if
ever
an
opportunity
should
administer
?
Do
they
love
them
,
do
they
affect
them
,
(
though
they
make
use
of
them
against
the
people
of
God
called
Quakers
,
whom
they
falsly
accuse
with
dis-affection
thereunto
,
and
upon
whom
they
make
an
essay
of
what
they
can
do
,
and
of
their
Authority
)
did
the
late
publick
occasion
manifest
any
such
thing
,
or
the
contrary
?
Have
they
not
spread
a
plain
lesson
before
every
County
to
do
the
like
?
and
what
is
next
?
Are
their
eyes
open
who
are
chief
in
authority
?
Do
they
not
yet
see
through
these
men
,
and
things
,
and
to
what
they
tend
?
Doth
it
not
concern
them
to
look
about
before
it
be
too
late
?
Have
they
not
fair
warning
,
and
long
and
large
experience
?
Alas
,
what
doth
it
suffice
us
to
deal
with
a
few
contemned
Quakers
,
whil'st
that
stands
which
did
put
us
by
all
our
hopes
of
dominion
over
mens
consciences
,
and
the
State
,
and
overturned
us
and
all
our
designs
with
shame
and
dishonour
,
with
whom
these
Quakers
were
one
,
and
some
of
them
principal
Actors
;
and
whilest
the
root
is
yet
unpull'd
up
of
that
which
hath
laid
an
universal
cursed
toleration
,
and
liberty
of
conscience
,
a
chief
fundamental
in
the
Government
.
If
this
doth
not
concern
you
,
O
ye
chief
in
Authority
,
and
if
this
be
not
so
,
let
it
pass
.
To
conclude
,
This
generation
have
in
this
particular
of
Watches
and
Wards
exceeded
the
most
bloody
Persecutors
that
have
been
known
to
have
been
on
the
face
of
the
Earth
;
among
whose
thirsty
ravenings
after
the
blood
of
the
Innocent
,
there
is
not
found
one
such
example
,
no
not
among
the
red
Records
of
the
Roman
persecutions
,
or
of
Queen
Maries
cruelty
;
onely
in
the
beginning
of
the
long
Parliament
some
such
thing
was
set
at
Whitehall
gate
to
hinder
the
multitudes
of
people
which
flock'd
up
out
of
the
City
to
Westminster
to
complain
of
their
sufferings
by
the
Bishops
,
and
oppressions
,
which
Charles
Stuart
called
tumults
,
and
so
found
fault
with
it
,
and
by
that
Guard
one
of
them
was
slain
,
at
the
place
of
the
shedding
of
whose
blood
was
Charles
Stuart's
head
struck
off
,
and
his
blood
poured
forth
on
the
ground
;
a
remarkable
record
of
the
righteous
judgement
of
God
.
And
from
the
high
Priests
,
Scribes
,
and
Pharisees
,
was
the
Band
sent
with
swords
and
staves
,
to
take
Jesus
in
the
Garden
in
the
night
'
,
who
disturbed
no
man
,
whom
Judas
led
,
who
hang'd
himself
,
and
whose
bowels
gushed
out
,
though
he
returned
the
money
,
the
price
of
the
blood
of
the
Innocent
,
whom
he
had
betrayed
to
the
chief
Priests
,
saying
,
I
have
sinned
,
and
repented
himself
,
but
for
him
there
was
no
place
found
.
Consider
this
ye
,
who
having
these
examples
before
your
eyes
,
do
nevertheless
dare
to
tread
in
their
steps
,
setting
up
Guards
,
Watches
,
and
Wards
,
with
swords
,
and
staves
,
and
halberts
,
betraying
,
apprehending
,
imprisoning
,
and
dealing
with
the
Innocent
,
as
hath
been
said
,
who
travel
on
the
high-wayes
quiet
and
peaceably
,
without
sword
or
staff
,
to
visit
their
long
and
sore
oppressed
innocent
Friends
in
prison
,
who
witness
the
life
of
the
same
Jesus
(
now
)
made
manifest
in
them
,
which
the
same
spirit
that
crucified
Jesus
doth
(
now
)
in
you
rise
up
against
,
and
persecute
for
witnessing
thereof
,
and
numbers
amongst
Transgressors
,
sturdy
Rogues
,
and
Vagabonds
:
but
those
who
are
indeed
such
,
and
whom
the
Law
calls
so
,
not
one
of
them
is
found
in
the
Kalendar
of
those
your
Prisoners
,
whom
these
your
Guards
have
apprehended
by
vertue
of
your
order
:
By
which
it
is
manifest
who
in
your
account
were
these
Vagabonds
and
sturdy
Rogues
placed
in
the
front
of
your
order
,
and
who
they
were
whom
you
thereby
sought
to
render
vile
and
odious
,
and
to
apprehend
,
to
wit
,
the
Innocent
and
harmless
lambs
of
Christ
,
who
travelling
peaceably
on
the
way
without
staff
or
sword
,
you
like
Wolves
have
torn
and
devoured
,
and
have
drawn
the
sword
against
,
to
stop
and
limit
,
when
ungodliness
and
iniquity
passeth
every
where
without
let
,
controul
,
or
punishment
:
Such
for
to
stop
your
Guards
have
no
order
,
of
which
the
Prisoners
at
Lanceston
in
one
of
their
papers
given
out
upon
your
Guards
,
have
let
you
understand
,
as
followeth
.
Friends
,
ALL
ye
who
are
turning
the
sword
against
the
innocent
,
against
the
truth
it self
,
do
ye
not
see
drunkenness
at
liberty
,
look
in
your
Ale-houses
:
Do
you
not
see
sports
,
prophaness
at
liberty
?
look
in
your
streets
:
Do
you
not
see
deceitfull
merchandize
,
cosening
,
and
cheating
?
look
in
your
Markets
?
Do
you
not
see
oaths
and
curses
!
Do
you
lend
your
ears
to
this
?
But
are
you
not
lending
your
ears
which
way
the
Lambs
of
Christ
walk
,
to
catch
up
them
;
the
strangers
,
to
clap
up
them
in
prison
;
and
this
is
the
provision
you
make
for
strangers
,
and
the
entertainment
you
give
them
,
and
yet
ye
cry
up
your selves
Christians
,
and
the
Gospel
shines
amongst
you
:
but
lusts
,
whoredomes
,
uncleanness
,
drunkenness
,
prophaness
,
how
is
this
looked
after
?
This
is
your
own
you
may
say
,
and
the
world
love
its
own
;
this
is
recreation
,
to
go
to
pleasures
,
must
take
some
recreation
now
and
then
,
but
must
not
travel
to
cry
against
sin
,
and
cry
against
pleasures
,
stop
them
,
set
Watches
for
them
,
they
are
not
fit
to
live
in
a
Commonwealth
,
nor
to
suffer
any
to
come
at
them
,
or
to
visit
them
;
these
sow
sedition
,
and
disturb
our
peace
,
say
the
Drunkard
and
Whoremongers
,
say
they
that
are
given
to
pleasures
,
and
follow
pleasures
;
they
disturb
our
peace
,
say
coseners
,
cheaters
,
swearers
,
and
cursers
,
that
are
above
yea
and
nay
in
their
merchandise
:
These
being
reproved
by
the
Lambs
of
Christ
,
hale
them
before
Magistrates
,
for
they
disturb
our
peace
,
say
they
,
and
these
break
our
peace
,
therefore
put
them
in
the
stocks
,
put
them
in
the
prisons
,
and
put
them
out
of
the
towns
,
cast
them
out
,
they
are
Quakers
.
Are
ye
not
of
them
that
cry
,
the
Temple
of
the
Lord
,
the
Temple
of
the
Lord
,
and
cast
out
them
that
tremble
at
the
word
of
the
Lord
,
that
the
Lord
regards
,
as
Isaiah
speaks
of
:
so
are
ye
not
of
them
that
Jeremy
,
speaks
of
,
that
love
to
have
those
Priests
and
Prophets
that
bear
rule
by
their
means
,
which
he
saw
to
be
the
horrible
filthy
thing
committed
in
the
Land
,
which
cry
,
the
Temple
of
the
Lord
,
and
come
to
the
House
which
ye
call
your
Church
;
and
do
not
such
as
steal
come
thither
,
and
such
as
murther
come
thither
,
and
such
as
commit
adultery
come
thither
,
such
as
cosen
come
thither
,
and
do
not
such
make
up
your
Church
,
the
coseners
,
the
adulterers
,
the
oppressors
,
such
as
trust
in
lying
words
,
the
murtherer
,
the
covetous
,
back-biters
,
scorners
,
mockers
,
do
not
such
make
up
your
Church
,
as
they
cryed
out
,
the
Temple
of
the
Lord
,
the
Temple
of
the
Lord
.
Have
ye
not
read
and
heard
of
the
people
that
said
they
were
wise
,
and
had
the
Law
of
the
Lord
,
which
lived
in
these
things
before-mentioned
,
which
met
together
at
the
Temple
to
serve
God
,
but
liars
,
swearers
,
covetous
,
idolaters
,
proud
,
and
heady
,
these
cryed
,
the
Temple
of
the
Lord
,
the
Temple
of
the
Lord
,
and
the
Law
of
God
was
with
them
;
and
do
not
ye
cry
now
that
are
proud
,
covetous
,
oppressors
,
persecutors
,
lyars
,
swearers
,
cursed
speakers
,
reproachers
,
scoffers
,
drunkards
,
such
as
are
given
to
pleasures
,
cry
,
cry
,
the
Church
,
the
Church
,
and
ye
have
the
Scriptures
amongst
you
,
but
out
of
the
life
of
them
found
,
as
the
Jews
were
found
before
you
;
and
you
may
see
what
is
at
liberty
among
you
,
and
what
is
set
up
,
and
what
it
is
that
turns
against
the
Lord
,
and
his
truth
,
and
his
power
,
which
will
be
your
ruine
in
the
end
,
except
ye
consider
,
and
repent
,
and
amend
your
lives
and
doings
,
and
turn
unto
the
Lord
;
for
do
not
ye
,
and
have
not
ye
plainly
declared
by
your
fruits
,
that
them
whom
ye
in
scorn
call
Quakers
,
are
the
Lambs
of
Christ
,
as
haling
them
out
of
Synagogues
,
haling
them
before
Magistrates
,
and
abusing
them
,
as
if
that
it
were
your
onely
work
,
and
let
all
wickedness
run
its
race
,
and
have
its
liberty
;
and
this
is
as
it
were
your
onely
work
to
turn
your
swords
against
the
lambs
of
Christ
.
Doth
it
not
here
plainly
shew
that
ye
are
of
the
world
?
Have
not
you
your selves
plainly
declared
?
For
do
not
ye
hate
them
,
the
children
of
God
?
Do
not
ye
persecute
them
,
set
watches
,
snares
,
lay
baits
for
them
,
take
them
up
prisoners
,
and
persecute
?
Doth
not
Christ
say
,
Who
is
not
of
the
world
,
the
world
shall
hate
you
?
Doth
not
the
Apostle
bid
the
Saints
not
to
marvel
,
for
the
world
would
hate
them
,
for
they
were
not
of
the
world
,
and
the
world
loved
its
own
;
they
that
are
of
the
world
,
hear
their
own
;
they
that
are
of
God
hear
us
,
who
are
not
of
the
world
.
Mark
this
,
they
that
are
of
God
hear
us
,
were
not
such
as
held
up
Synagogues
,
Temple
,
first
Priesthood
,
that
took
Tithes
of
the
world
yea
or
nay
.
Was
not
the
Temple
worldly
,
and
all
to
be
judged
and
denyed
?
And
are
not
your
Teachers
now
made
by
the
will
of
man
,
which
persecute
,
which
be
found
out
of
the
spirit
of
Jesus
Christ
,
that
now
ye
are
haling
your
friends
,
them
that
the
Lord
sends
to
do
good
unto
you
;
now
ye
are
haling
your
friends
,
now
ye
are
persecuting
your
friends
,
now
ye
are
smiting
your
friends
,
you
will
not
have
Christ
to
reign
,
you
will
not
have
sin
to
reign
in
your
markets
and
streets
;
and
if
they
reprove
sin
in
the
gate
,
he
is
made
a
prey
upon
that
doth
it
;
you
will
have
pleasures
to
reign
,
and
not
have
them
reproved
;
he
is
called
a
mad
man
among
you
that
doth
reprove
you
,
or
a
fool
;
you
will
not
have
drunkards
reproved
,
nor
swearers
,
nor
cursed
speakers
in
the
ale-houses
,
or
in
the
streets
abroad
,
but
he
is
looked
upon
to
be
a
peace-breaker
,
or
a
gatherer
of
tumults
.
And
here
you
may
see
what
you
will
to
reign
;
that
which
the
sword
should
be
turned
against
,
which
the
Lambs
of
Christ
turn
against
,
therefore
against
the
Lambs
of
Christ
ye
turn
your
swords
.
And
again
,
hirelings
,
and
such
as
seek
their
gain
from
their
quarter
,
such
as
divine
for
money
,
and
such
Teachers
as
teach
for
money
,
that
go
in
Cain's
way
,
and
Balaam's
way
,
these
ye
will
have
to
reign
,
and
cannot
endure
they
should
be
cryed
against
,
and
will
not
have
Christ
reign
,
but
uphold
them
with
a
Law
,
that
none
shall
speak
to
them
while
they
are
speaking
without
a
Prison
?
Was
ever
such
Christians
seen
?
Are
ye
not
gone
beyond
the
Jews
in
the
letter
?
for
the
Jews
in
the
spirit
might
speak
to
them
.
Were
there
ever
so
many
imprisoned
in
their
time
of
any
of
the
Jews
in
the
spirit
,
as
now
by
you
who
are
Christians
in
the
letter
,
the
Christians
in
the
spirit
,
that
be
in
the
spirit
,
that
gave
forth
the
letter
,
see
ye
now
in
the
steps
of
the
Jews
walking
,
and
rather
worse
;
but
it
is
that
which
John
saw
,
the
Beast
,
the
Dragon
,
and
the
false
Prophet
should
all
make
war
against
the
Lamb
,
and
the
Saints
,
but
the
Lamb
should
get
the
victory
,
and
overcome
.
Let
this
be
read
among
all
the
Synagogue-teachers
,
and
Professors
,
who
call
it
either
Synagogue
,
Temple
,
or
Church
,
who
are
crying
up
your
Church
,
and
the
Scriptures
among
you
,
as
you
may
reade
the
Jews
did
the
Temple
of
the
Lord
;
and
the
Law
of
the
Lord
was
with
them
,
and
the
Prophet
told
them
they
did
commit
adultery
,
they
did
steal
,
they
sware
falsly
,
they
walked
after
their
abominations
,
and
they
walked
after
the
vanity
of
their
own
hearts
,
both
Priests
and
People
given
to
covetousness
,
they
were
all
out
of
the
old-way
:
Therefore
for
these
things
did
the
Lord
visit
them
,
and
doth
you
who
are
found
in
these
steps
,
and
persecuting
them
that
be
in
the
life
,
that
gave
forth
Scriptures
,
and
are
come
to
the
Church
that
is
in
God
.
During
the
time
aforesaid
was
the
general
Assizes
at
Exeter
for
the
County
of
Devon
,
of
which
chief
Baron
Steel
and
Baron
Nicholas
were
Judges
;
before
one
of
whom
,
(
viz.
)
Judge
Nicholas
,
were
these
who
were
thus
imprisoned
at
the
Assizes
brought
,
and
the
rest
also
,
as
they
were
taken
on
the
high-wayes
in
the
time
of
the
Assizes
of
this
Judge
.
Considering
his
place
and
office
,
justice
might
have
been
expected
,
and
a
vindication
of
the
Law
,
and
a
zealous
helping
those
to
right
who
had
thus
suffered
wrong
:
but
no
such
thing
found
they
from
him
,
but
the
contrary
,
even
the
same
spirit
ruling
and
working
in
him
as
made
the
Law
aforesaid
,
and
put
it
in
execution
against
he
Innocent
,
who
could
not
be
found
Transgressors
of
any
Law
of
the
Nation
:
For
as
the
Sessions
made
a
Law
,
and
set
up
Watches
to
apprehend
them
,
if
they
were
but
found
travelling
on
the
high-wayes
,
and
did
so
apprehend
and
imprison
them
,
without
so
much
as
making
proclamation
,
or
giving
publick
warning
,
forbidding
such
to
travel
in
that
Countrey
after
such
a
day
:
but
immediately
as
soon
as
they
had
made
their
Law
,
put
it
in
execution
on
those
who
were
in
their
way
before
it
was
made
,
or
had
publick
warning
thereof
,
or
the
allotment
of
a
certain
space
of
time
of
it
to
take
notice
,
(
which
the
Law
of
the
Nation
observes
)
so
the
Judge
will
have
a
Law
of
his
own
making
,
as
to
the
Hat
,
(
for
that
there
is
no
Law
of
the
Nation
that
requires
a
man
to
put
off
his
Hat
,
and
imprison
him
for
not
so
doing
,
and
denies
him
hearing
or
justice
,
whatever
be
his
innocency
or
sufferings
,
if
he
puts
not
off
his
Hat
to
a
Seat
of
Justice
,
will
anon
appear
when
this
new-found
Indictment
of
Hats
shall
be
scann'd
,
as
in
some
part
it
hath
already
been
in
the
Letter
aforesaid
,
sent
to
chief
Justice
Glynne
)
and
presently
he
will
have
it
put
in
execution
,
though
his
Law
be
made
after
the
fact
done
,
after
their
so
appearing
,
unto
which
they
could
not
bow
in
conscience
to
the
Law
of
God
,
of
which
he
is
convinced
to
be
a
Transgressor
that
respecteth
persons
,
for
he
that
doth
so
,
committeth
sin
.
Nor
can
it
be
bowed
to
in
respect
to
the
Law
of
the
Land
,
which
declares
against
arbitrariness
,
which
Law
arbitrariness
subverts
and
overthrows
,
which
arbitrariness
his
duty
is
to
do
justice
upon
,
being
entrusted
with
the
execution
of
the
Law
,
and
this
his
Law
standing
in
his
own
will
,
the
founder
thereof
,
it
is
arbitrary
,
and
not
to
be
obeyed
,
but
in
the
overthrow
of
the
Law
of
the
Land
,
and
a
slighting
of
all
the
blood
shed
in
the
wars
against
arbitrariness
;
and
is
less
to
be
endured
and
submitted
to
in
him
,
than
in
any
of
the
Judges
and
chief
Justices
that
have
gone
before
him
,
whom
justice
hath
cut
off
for
arbitrariness
,
or
in
Strafford
,
Canterbury
,
Charles
Stuart
,
or
of
any
of
these
later
generations
,
since
it
is
but
the
other
day
that
these
Nations
came
out
of
many
years
wars
and
dreadfull
desolations
and
destructions
,
even
to
the
hazarding
of
all
,
to
vindicate
the
Rights
and
Liberties
of
England
,
and
the
Laws
,
the
guard
of
them
,
from
will
and
power
.
And
this
Judge
was
one
who
in
that
day
appeared
against
that
generation
,
and
for
that
cause
was
made
a
Judge
by
the
Parliament
,
and
therefore
for
him
to
act
against
Law
,
which
he
is
sworn
to
execute
,
not
to
make
.
And
the
Legislative
Authority
that
made
him
a
Judge
,
and
the
righteous
ends
of
the
Wars
for
Liberty
and
Law
,
in
which
he
appeared
,
and
these
innocent
servants
of
the
Lord
,
who
have
been
all
of
them
alwayes
faithfull
to
the
honest
interest
of
the
Nation
,
and
many
of
them
for
it
have
drawn
the
sword
,
and
fought
in
the
field
from
first
to
last
,
because
they
cannot
submit
to
this
his
will
,
which
is
contrary
to
the
Law
of
God
,
and
the
Nation
,
and
the
righteous
ends
of
the
Wars
,
is
the
more
abominable
,
and
to
be
denyed
,
and
witnessed
against
.
Thus
then
,
were
the
proceedings
of
this
Assizes
,
as
to
these
.
Before
Judge
Nicholas
they
were
brought
by
Officers
;
before
him
they
stood
covered
in
conscience
to
the
command
of
the
Lord
;
that
their
Hats
should
not
be
taken
off
he
commanded
,
that
so
within
the
compass
of
his
will
they
might
be
brought
;
Their
names
he
asked
one
after
another
;
they
gave
their
names
in
meekness
,
and
in
the
fear
of
the
Lord
,
and
the
Clarke
of
the
Assizes
wrote
them
down
to
record
the
contempt
of
his
will
;
he
then
commanded
every
one
by
name
to
put
off
his
Hat
,
This
they
could
not
do
for
conscience
sake
;
Wrath
and
fury
presently
appears
,
that
in
rage
he
commands
the
Gaoler
to
have
them
away
,
who
with
violence
pull'd
&
thrust
them
;
suffer
them
to
speak
for
themselves
he
would
not
;
nor
enquired
what
were
their
offences
,
or
the
cause
of
their
imprisonment
,
or
wherefore
they
were
brought
before
him
;
but
caused
them
with
such
misusages
to
be
sent
and
returned
to
prison
.
And
this
was
what
generally
they
all
received
at
his
hands
,
as
they
were
brought
before
him
,
and
thus
evilly
were
they
all
intreated
.
The
morrow
after
such
returns
in
custody
,
were
●hey
brought
before
him
again
,
and
placed
amongst
the
Fellons
and
Murderers
;
By
that
time
Bills
of
Indictment
,
as
to
the
breach
of
his
will
,
were
made
ready
,
Their
Hats
now
he
commands
to
be
taken
off
,
which
the
day
before
he
commanded
not
to
be
taken
off
,
that
he
might
charge
them
with
contempt
:
His
Bills
are
read
,
and
with
many
false
accusations
are
they
charged
therein
;
as
being
men
of
an
ill
name
,
fame
,
life
and
reputation
,
and
that
they
came
into
the
Court
with
their
Hats
on
in
contempt
,
when
by
constraint
they
were
forced
thither
,
and
much
more
filth
,
too
noysome
to
rake
up
.
And
to
these
their
Indictments
he
demands
of
every
one
particularly
guilty
,
or
not
guilty
?
thus
numbring
them
amongst
transgressors
.
)
A
Copy
of
the
Indictment
whereunto
to
plead
,
was
by
one
of
them
demanded
,
as
the
Law
required
;
this
he
denies
;
the
Prisoner
replyed
,
that
he
was
an
Englishman
,
and
had
served
the
Common-wealth
of
England
from
the
beginning
of
the
Wars
,
till
Worcester
fight
(
at
which
he
was
)
and
had
suffered
imprisonment
by
the
enemy
,
and
the
loss
of
his
goods
,
and
was
driven
from
his
outward
being
by
the
enemy
four
years
together
;
and
now
desired
as
to
all
,
but
the
priviledge
of
the
Law
,
and
that
if
he
had
come
violently
into
the
Court
,
there
seemed
to
be
some
ground
for
their
Allegations
,
but
by
constraint
he
was
brought
in
;
Whilst
he
was
thus
speaking
,
the
Judge
kept
talking
to
the
people
to
keep
them
hearing
of
him
,
and
then
commanded
him
to
be
taken
away
;
whom
they
had
away

him
before
them
,
and
whilst
he
was
away
,
he
fined
him

,
which
was
done
accordingly
:
Nor
was
there
a
Copy
of
this
Indictment
granted
to
any
of
them
,
though
every
one
of
them
answered
to
the
demand
guilty
,
or
not
guilty
in
meekness
,
and
in
the
fear
of
God
to
this
effect
,
that
they
were
innocent
,
and
had
broken
no
Law
,
and
that
they
were
not
guilty
of
the
things
charged
in
the
Bill
,
which
they
denied
:
And
libertie
they
desired
to
speak
further
and
to
the
Jury
to
whom
he
spake
much
whereby
to
incense
them
against
the
Prisoners
,
and
told
them
the
Hat
was
the
chiefest
matter
they
were
to
enquire
into
,
but
the
Prisoners
he
would
not
permit
to
speak
to
the
Jury
,
as
he
would
not
let
them
make
in
their
own
defence
,
commanding
the
Gaoler
to
keep
them
silent
when
they
attempted
to
speak
in
their
own
behalf
,
and
calling
for
a
Gag
,
he
commanded
the
Gaoler
to
Gag
them
;
onely
one
of
them
,
(
who
was
last
called
)
being
required
to
answer
whether
he
came
in
with
his
Hat
on
or
no
,
saying
if
he
might
have
libertie
to
speak
he
should
not
onely
declare
freely
,
and
honestly
,
and
with
words
of
soberness
,
and
in
the
fear
of
God
,
as
to
his
having
his
Hat
on
,
but
also
why
he
did
so
,
and
as
to
things
charged
against
them
,
having
got
a
little
liberty
so
to
do
,
said
,
I
shall
declare
freely
from
the
light
and
life
of
Christ
in
my
heart
and
soul
,
that
I
came
not
in
with
my
Hat
on
in
contempt
of
the
Court
or
of
any
man
therein
,
neither
had
I
come
there
if
I
had
not
been
brought
,
and
I
am
free
from
any
prejudice
in
the
least
toward
any
man
,
and
authority
I
own
,
and
such
as
rule
well
,
ruling
for
God
,
according
to
the
righteous
Law
of
God
,
and
are
for
the
punishment
of
evill
doers
,
and
the
praise
of
them
that
do
well
,
such
I
honour
in
my
heart
,
but
as
for
putting
off
my
Hat
,
it
is
that
which
never
was
required
by
any
that
ruled
for
God
,
nor
yet
of
the
Heathenish
Kings
,
and
Emperors
,
as
we
read
of
,
and
in
obedience
to
God
I
stand
,
and
the
same
nature
that
commands
us
to
put
off
our
Hats
,
the
same
commanded
to
Preach
no
more
in
the
name
of
Jesus
,
and
such
commands
of
men
we
cannot
obey
for
conscience
sake
,
and
the
Heathenish
Customs
which
are
contrary
to
the
holy
men
of
God
,
and
to
the
righteous
Law
of
God
,
and
to
all
Scriptures
,
and
also
to
all
naturall
Laws
,
I
cannot
be
subject
to
;
but
unto
God
the
higher
power
,
which
is
of
God
which
rules
over
all
,
but
the
Customs
of
the
people
are
vain
.

Judgement
(
being
called
,
and
standing
without
the
Bar
,
for
he
said
they
needed
not
to
come
any
further
)
the
Judge
pronounced
upon
them

as
to
the
Infringement

any
Law

miscarriage

nothing

laid

And
as
for

women
who
were
taken
up
and
imprisoned
as
aforesaid
,
against
whom
he
could
not
have
the
advantage
of
a

he
returned
to
Prison
till
they
should
find
sureties
of
the
good
behaviour

being
taken
up
they
and
the
rest
as
they
were
peaceably
travelling
the
high
way
to
visit
the
Prisoners

imprisoned

hath
been
said

the
Law
was
every

broke
upon

ought
to
have
been
protected
;
and
justice

them
,
upon
those
who
robb'd
them
on

high
way

not

instead
thereof
further
oppressed

Thus
hath
this
Judge
headed
the

to
their
Arbitrary
Law

the
wicked

thereof

hath
been

not
so

enquiring

wherefore
they
were
imprisoned

what
was
the
cause
of
their
being
brought
before
him

permitting
them

commanding

with
which
hardship
,
and
nastie
inconveniences
severall
of

are
fallen
sick
,
and
one
of
them
(

taken
at

beat

hath
now
,
as
hath
Iudge

the
Iustices
of

Sessions
aforesaid
,
from
whom
came
the
Order
of
the
Guards
,
and
Major
Blackmore
,
who
so
earnestly
pressed
the
execution
of
that
order
,
as
they
tendred
all
their
hopes
of
salvation
,
&c.
that
so
it
might
not
be
a
dead
Letter
,
(
which
hath
proved
the
Death
of
this
servant
of
the
Lord
)
but
leaving
direction
,
as
he
blasphemously
calls
it
;
and
the
Priests
that
set
it
on
;
and
those
Guards
the
blood
of
the
innocent
,
for
which
they
shall
answer
before
the
Iudge
of
all
the
earth
,
who
judgeth
righteousness
,
however
they
escape
the
Iustice
of
man
,
and
yet
so
hardned
are
those
that
notwithstanding
her
death
,
after
some
time
of
sickness
,
(
which
Major
Blackmore
was
told
of
before
she
dyed
)
and
the
sickness
of
others
,
and
the
ill
condition
outwardly
they
are
in
,
and
their
innocencie
,
that
they
there
continue
them
Prisoners
to
this
day
;
even
the
Sea-monsters
draw
forth
the
Breast
,
and
give
suck
to
their
young
,
but
these
are
become
cruell
as
the
Ostrich
in
the
wilderness
,
where
will
ye
hide
in
the
day
of
Visitation
,
when
the
Lord
shall
make
Inquisition
for
bloud
and
the
sufferings
of
his
Saints
,
where
then
will
ye
flee
,
and
ever
will
ye
leave
your
glory
?
Take
it
to
you
,
it
is
your
portion
,
for
at
the
hand
of
the
Lord
God
bloud
shall
you
drink
,
for
ye
are
worthy
?
O
ye
matchless
Persecutors
,
such
a
proceeding
as
this
the
Records
of
this
Nation
afford
not
before
this
day
,
being
in
all
things
wholy
contrary
to
the
Law
of
England
,
cruell
and
unreasonable
.
And
this
is
the
relief
the
innocent
,
who
had
suffered
as
aforesaid
from
and
by
the
illegall
order
of
Sessions
,
and
the
executions
thereof
,
received
from
this
Iudge
Nicholas
;
who
not
onely
thus
threw
the
servants

heaps
into

Common
Gaole

Thomas

Thomas
Powell
,

Assizes

being
brought
before
him
with
those
aforementioned
,
were
dealt
withall
as
they
were
,
having
been
about
six
weeks
before
in
Prison
;
And
Priscilla
Cotten
,
and
Katherine
Martingdale
of
Plymouth
being
imprisoned
(
the
later
for
speaking
in
a
Steeple
house
in

the
13.
of

month

malice
,
God

the
former
for
being

her
not
saying

)
and
brought
before
him
,
he
fined
Priscilla
,
who
said
not
a

,
in
50.
l.
and
imprisonment
till
payment
,
and
Katherine
,
who
was
she
that
spake
,
but
it
was
after
all
was
ended
,
as
hath
been
said
,
there
to
abide
till
she
found
sureties
for
the
good
behaviour
;
though
in
that
Steeplehouse
they
were
assaulted
by
the
Constables
and
the
people
,
who
threw
them
down
almost
to
the
breaking
of
their
bones
,
and
kept
in
Plymouth
near
three
weeks
,
during
which
time
the
Mayor
denyed
friends
to
visit
them
,
and
would
not
accept
the
tender
of
friends
body
for
body
for
Priscilla
that
she
might
pass
home
to
see
her
Husband
,
a
Shop-keeper
in
the
town
,
who
was
taken
very
sick
,
and
returne
again
to
Prison
,
and
when
she
was
sent
from
thence
to
Exon
Gaole
,
because
she
staid
but
till
her
servant
brought
her
a
pair
of
shoes
,
one
of
the
two
fellows
that
the
Mayor
sent
with
them
,
laid
violent
hands
on
her
and
drew
her
along
the
Street
,
almost
to
the
murthering
of
her
,
and
then
produced
an
order
of
the
Mayors
for
his
so
doing
;
And
six
times
was
she
brought
before
this
Iudge
,
and
alterations
made
in
the
paper
of
lyes
exhibited
against
her
,
which
she
denyed
and
said
that
there
was
no
truth
therein
;
which
the
Clerk
of
the
Court
altered
,
and
the
Iudge
said
let
it
be
so
;
and
because
she
took
notice
of
their
proceedings
and
spake
to
them
to
do
that
which
is
right
,
he
caused
her
to
be
had
away
;
and
at
length
a
paper
was
formed
against
her
by
way
of
Indictment
,
to
which
he
demanded
guilty
or
not
guilty
?
She
said
it
was
a
false
paper
,
and
because
she
did
not
say
guilty
or
not
guilty
,
but
as
aforesaid
(
which
was
a
sufficient
Plea
in
Law
denying
the
Indictment
,
for
to
say
the
words
guilty
or
not
guilty
is
onely
required
in
cases
of
Fellony
or
life
,
by
the
Law
of
England
)
he
grew
outragious
,
whereupon
she
saying
to
him
,
art
thou
a
man
to
Iudge
for
God
,
and
canst
not
rule
thy self
but
art
angry
?
be
sober
,
man
,
and
fear
the
Lord
,
and
do
justice
,
and
let
not
passion
rule
thee
,
he
raged
the
more
,
and
said
,
Gaoler
have
her
away
,
have
her
away
,
I
cannot
endure
thers
for
a
certain
space
of
time
,
and
being
now
brought
they
desired
to
know
what
it
was
they
were
imprisoned
f●r
,
seeing
they
layd
nothing
to
their
charge
,
but
what
was
done
then
in
the
Court
,
having
shewn
no
Law
to
which
it
was
contrary
;
and
one
of
them
,
who
had
been
in
prison
a
quarter
of
a
year
askd
of
the
Justice
present
that
committed
him
,
what
he
had
to
say
to
him
,
and
where
was
his
accusers
?
but
he
answered
not
a
word
;
And
they
said
in
conscience
to
the
Law
of
God
they
could
not
put
off
their
Hats
,
And
that
they
were
not
guiltie
of
affronting
the
Magistrate
,
or
the
breach
of
any
Law
,
But
because
they
did
not
answer
guiltie
,
or
not
guiltie
?
in
those
their
words
(
though
what
is
exprest
to
have
been
said
(
viz.
)
that
they
were
not
guiltie
of
affronting
the
Magistrate
,
or
of
the
breach
of
any
Law
;
with
which
crimes
that
Indictment
did
charge
them
,
be
a
sufficient
Plea
in
Law
,
as
is
known
to
those
who
understand
the
Law
)
for
that
the
Indictment
was
not
grounded
upon
the
Law
,
but
Will
,
and
to
say
guiltie
,
or
not
guiltie
to
that
which
is
not
Law
,
is
inconsistent
with
libertie
,
and
an
upholding
of
Will
,
as
,
and
in
the
place
,
and
authority
of
the
Law
,
which
they
could
not
do
;
They
were
had
away
with
violence
from
the
Bar
to
the
Prison
,
and
then
brought
to
the
Bar
again
,
and
demanded
guiltie
,
or
not
guiltie
?
and
were
told
that
after
they
had
answered
guiltie
,
or
not
guiltie
,
a
Law
should
be
shewn
them
;
but
they
refusing
to
answer
in
those
words
,
till
a
Law
was
first
shewn
them
,
were
not
permitted
to
speake
,
but
commanded
away
again
,
and
one
of
them
(
viz.
)
Ioseph
Cole
thrown
to
the
ground
before
the
Court
by
the
under-Gaoler
without
reproof
,
and
though
the
Judge
said
one
of
them
should
speak
,
when
he
asked
whether
they
could
not
have
the
priviledge
the
Heathen
gave
Paul
?
yet
he
caused
them
all
to
be
had
away
,
not
suffering
any
of
them
to
speake
(
which
the
Country
people
disliked
,
saying
it
was
truth
which
the
prisoners
spake
,
)
and
so
to
close
prison
they
were
had
away
again
,
the
Judge
saying
he
would
give
judgement
against
them
if
they
answered
not
in
those
words
;
And
the
third
time
(
for
three
severall
dayes
were
they
brought
before
the
Court
,
and
some
of
them
severall
times
in
a
day
they
were
brought
to
the
Bar
again
,
and
demanded
as
before
,
Iohn
Ellice
having
by
that
time
got
a
Copy
of
the
Indictment
,
t●ld
the
Judge
,
that
for
that
Swaunton
the
Clerk
made
his
wife
pay
thirteen
shillings
,
saying
that
otherwise
she
should
not
have
it
,
and
asked
the
Judge
whether
that
was
not
extortion
?
To
which
he
answered
,
Gaoler
speedily
have
them
away
,
wh●ch
he
did
with
violence
;
and
because
they
onely
said
in
answer
first
,
shew
us
a
Law
that
we
have
broken
,
before
we
be
demanded
to
plead
to
an
Indictment
,
guiltie
or
not
guiltie
;
they
were
haled
away
to
prison
,
without
being
further
permitted
to
speake
,
and
the
Gaoler
(
who
pretended
himself
sick
till
he
heard
of
the
Iudges
usage
of
the
prisoners
)
being
in
Court
that
day
struck
Ioseph
Cole
over
the
face
with
his
staffe
,
and
punchd
Iohn
Ellice
by
the
Arme
,
which
filthiness
the
people
saw
and
cryed
out
against
.
And
there
were
they
detained
whilst
the
Iury
past
upon
them
,
to
whom
he
said
,
that
they
(
viz.
)
the
prisoners
had
broken
the
Law
of
God
,
and
of
man
.
Nor
did
he
cause
them
to
be
brought
before
him
when
he
gave
judgement
against
them
,
that
they
might
hear
the
judgment
,
and
have
libertie
to
move
in
arrest
thereof
as
is
the
Law
;
But
whilst
they
were
in
prison
fined
them
in
20.
marks
a
piece
,
and
imprisonment
till
payment
;
who
had
suffered
so
long
,
and
with
such
crueltie
,
as
hath
been
in
part
exprest
;
whom
he
would
not
suffer
to
speak
of
their
imprisonment
,
or
cruell
usage
,
or
in
their
own
defence
;
nor
brought
one
accuser
;
or
witness
to
their
faces
;
nor
enquired
into
their
sufferings
,
or
the
cause
of
them
.
And
this
is
the
justice
and
relief
the
innocent
at
Launceston
received
as
their
brethren
and
friends
had
hefore
at
Exon
,
from
this
Iudge
Nicholas
,
whose
will
he
set
up
for
a
Law
,
and
because
they
could
not
in
Conscience
to
God
,
nor
in
respect
to
the
Law
of
this
N●tion
,
which
judgeth
arbitrariness
,
bow
to
his
Image
,
or
answer
to
his
will
,
guiltie
or
not
guiltie
;
as
the
law
requires
to
what
it
commandeth
,
and
so
could
not
obey
,
and
observe
his
will
,
equall
with
,
and
as
the
law
;
his
wrath
rose
,
and
the
form
of
his
visage
was
changed
,
and
in
the
rage
of
his
fury
and
passion
,
prepared
a
Furnace
(
a
Bill
of
Indictment
)
he
heated
seven
times
with
the
fire
of
wickedness
,
into
which
he
cast
them
bound
because
of
the
Hat
and
without
it
(
when
as
Nebuchadnezar
an
Heathen
King
cast
the
three
Children
into
the
fiery
furnace
bound
in
their
Coats
,
their
Hosen
,
and
their
Hats
and
their
other
Garments
)
which
now
comes
to
be
spoken
to
,
and
weighed
in
the
ballance
of
law
and
equitie
;
and
to
be
handled
,
even
this
new
found
monstrous
instrument
of
crueltie
;
into
,
and
by
which
so
many
of
the
servants
of
the
living
God
have
been
cast
,
and
continued
fined
and
bound
,
and
under
the
sufferings
of
which
this
relation
(
to
say
nothing
of
what
hath
been
done
to
others
,
and
in
other
parts
of
this
Nation
)
bears
Record
,
which
since
the
foundation
of
the
earth
was
layd
,
was
never
heard
of
before
this
day
;
nor
such
an
unexpressible
piece
of
sottish
Irreligion
,
pride
,
and
tyrannie
,
unto
which
whosoever
doth
not
conforme
,
be
his
sufferings
what
they
will
,
and
his
innocency
,
the
priviledge
of
the
law
of
England
he
must
not
have
,
nor
be
heard
,
nor
have
Iustice
,
but
be
bound
under
the
Chains
of
further
sufferings
,
and
oppressions
because
thereof
;
Nevertheless
this
burning
fiery
flaming
furnace
can
be
walkt
in
loosened
and
untoucht
,
whilst
the
men
of
the
powers
of
Chaldea
,
who
take
up
the
Children
and
cast
them
bound
thereinto
,
lye
slain
with
the
flame
of
the
urgencie
of
the
command
of
that
will
,
by
which
it
is
made
so
exceeding
hot
,
as
to
the
sober
and
wise
in
heart
will
by
and
by
appear
,
and
be
made
manifest
.
The
Indictment
of
the
Hat
is
insufficient
in
law
;
in
short
,
thus
—
Every
Indictment
,
which
hath
not
contained
in
it
an
offence
,
either
against
the
Common
law
or
Statute
law
,
is
void
.
But
there
is
not
in
the
Indictment
of
the
Hat
any
offence
either
against
the
Common
law
,
or
any
Statute
law
.
If
the
matter
of
the
Indictment
be
said
to
be
an
offence
against
the
Common
law
,
then
it
must
appear
so
,
either
amongst
the
Records
of
this
Nation
,
or
the
judiciall
determinations
,
and
conclusions
of
the
Chief
Courts
of
Iustice
.
If
against
the
Statute
law
,
then
it
must
appear
so
either
amongst
the
Parliament
Roles
,
or
the
Printed
Books
.
But
that
it
is
an
offence
either
against
the
Common
law
,
or
Statute
law
,
there
is
not
so
much
as
the
least
tittle
of
law
to
prove
it
.
Those
Adverbiall
Words
in
the
Indictment
(
viz.
)
Irreverently
,
uncivilly
,
scornfully
,
maliciously
,
contemptuously
,
(
with
such
like
filth
,
of
which
it
is
full
,
and
not
worthy
the
raking
up
)
are
,
and
have
been
alwaies
taken
to
be
added
onely
in
an
Indictment
the
more
fully
to
describe
an
offence
,
and
to
aggravate
the
same
;
But
if
the
act
charged
in
the
Indictment
be
not
an
offence
without
these
words
,
then
these
words
cannot
aggravate
,
or
compleate
a
description
of
that
which
is
not
.
It
is
said
to
be
done
against
good
manners
,
evill
communications
corrupt
good
manners
,
and
whatsoever
is
more
than
yea
,
and
nay
,
cometh
of
evill
,
saith
Christ
Jesus
the
Son
of
God
:
and
as
to
good
manners
,
which
you
say
it
is
against
,
produce
your
Law
for
such
good
manners
,
and
let
us
see
what
it
is
,
O
sottish
Generation
.
It
is
said
to
be
done
against
the
usage
and
custome
of
England
,
It
is
the
usage
and
custom
of
England
for
men
and
women
to
salute
one
another
with
a
kiss
,
and
to
speak
one
to
another
,
and
to
come
into
Courts
with
Cloaks
and
Coats
,
and
Gloves
and
Boots
,
and
yet
not
an
offence
to
leave
it
undone
,
or
to
come
without
any
of
there
coverings
.
Things
which
are
in
a
mans
power
to
give
,
or
not
to
give
;
and
which
he
is
content
not
to
receive
from
others
,
when
he
gives
not
the
same
to
others
(
as
such
things
as
these
are
take
them
in
the
best
sense
,
as
they
are
peculiar
to
every
man
,
and
at
his
choice
whether
he
will
give
them
or
not
)
cannot
be
made
criminall
,
if
he
doth
not
give
them
.
And
therefore
the
adding
any
of
these
words
in
the
Indictment
,
doth
not
make
the
not
putting
off
the
Hat
to
be
an
offence
.
And
as
their
refusing
to
put
off
the
Hat
,
or
to
be
uncovered
is
not
an
offence
against
the
Law
of
this
Common-Wealth
,
so
neither
is
it
an
offence
against
the
Law
of
God
,
or
the
Law
of
Nature
.
Not
against
the
law
of
God
,
for
there
is
neither
precept
,
or
president
that
makes
it
so
,
but
the
contrary
,
as
hath
been
and
might
further
be
said
.
Not
against
the
law
of
nature
,
for
nature
makes
no
man
free
or
a
servant
,
but
man
is
either
free
or
a
servant
,
according
to
the
spirit
that
rules
and
hath
command
over
him
.
And
although
it
be
said
in
the
Indictment
,
that
they
being
enjoyned
to
be
uncovered
refused
so
to
do
,
yet
this
makes
not
an
offence
,
for
the
Justices
sate
there
onely
to
put
the
laws
in
being
in
execution
,
and
it
was
not
a
contempt
to
deny
to
obey
their
command
in
a
thing
,
which
neither
the
law
of
God
,
nature
,
or
of
this
Nation
required
to
be
done
.
This
act
of
putting
off
the
Hat
hath
been
in
this
Nation
alwaies
taken
to
be
an
act
of
civill
curtesie
,
and
not
of
duty
,
and
so
the
practice
of
it
amongst
people
of
all
sorts
high
and
low
,
rich
and
poor
,
and
in
all
places
as
well
in
the
high
ways
,
as
elsewhere
doth
manifest
,
and
it
is
no
other
in
effect
than
a
meer
volentary
complement
,
the
occasion
whereof
was
never
held
to
be
an
offence
till
this
present
time
,
and
that
by
some
few
particular
persons
.
'T
is
true
,
that
people
,
for
the
most
part
stand
bare
in
all
Courts
of
Justice
in
this
Nation
,
but
this
is
more
than
is
required
by
any
law
,
either
of
God
or
man
,
for
that
which
is
required
to
be
done
to
Magistrates
is
honour
and
obedience
,
which
is
demonstrated
by
a
submission
to
all
lawful
commands
,
and
not
by
any
complement
or
act
of
curtesie
.
Besides
to
command
any
person
to
put
off
his
Hat
is
absurd
,
for
that
is
to
use
it
contrary
to
the
end
for
which
it
was
made
,
which
is
to
cover
the
head
,
and
to
keep
it
warme
,
whereby
sickness
may
be
prevented
,
and
not
to
be
held
in
the
hand
,
and
a
wise
man
beginneth
from
the
end
of
a
thing
,
and
weighs
every
thing
as
it
is
there
.
Again
,
whether
the
condition
of
a
mans
nature
will
give
him
leave
to
stand
bare
or
not
,
the
Magistrate
is
not
the
Judge
,
and
therefore
it
is
against
reason
,
that
it
should
be
in
his
power
to
command
the
Hat
to
be
put
off
;
whose
nature
cannot
bear
it
from
him
that
requires
it
,
and
is
the
same
as
to
command
him
to
put
off
any
of
his
other
Garments
.
From
all
which
it
is
clear
,
that
this
Indictment
,
and
the
proceedings
therein
are
neither
warranted
by
the
law
of
God
,
nature
or
of
this
Nation
,
but
on
the
contrary
,
are
meerly
arbitrary
,
against
reason
,
and
very
absurd
,
and
an
invasion
upon
the
liberties
of
the
Freemen
of
England
.
And
by
what
hath
been
said
(
for
to
argue
further
is
not
necessary
in
so
frivolous
a
thing
)
the
reasonable
may
see
what
there
is
in
this
business
of
the
Hat
,
which
hath
made
such
a
noise
and
kindled
such
a
fire
in
this
Nation
,
by
which
so
many
of
the
innocent
servants
of
the
Lord
have
suffered
without
mercy
,
as
hath
been
in
part
related
;
The
tyrannicall
wills
and
lusts
of
men
being
in
this
trifle
set
up
above
all
that
is
called
God
,
or
man
,
or
law
,
or
nature
,
or
reason
,
or
common
humanity
,
and
against
all
these
thus
violently
prosecuted
,
and
cruelly
,
put
in
execution
:
As
they
may
also
see
,
what
is
become
of
this
new
sound
monstrous
Indictment
,
and
of
all
the
abhominable
filthy
lyes
,
and
false
accusations
contained
therein
of
which
it
is
full
;
And
of
this
Judge
Nicholas
and
his
will
in
the
Law
,
according
to
what
hath
been
now
said
,
and
also
declared
in
that
Letter
aforesaid
to
the
Chief
Justice
;
And
of
the
consciences
of
the
Jurors
who
have
upon
their
oaths
brought
them
in
guiltie
,
of
which
they
have
made
shipwrack
,
as
they
have
of
their
own
,
and
the
liberties
of
their
Country
.
For
whereas
in
the
behalf
of
liberty
the
law
hath
carefully
provided
,
that
no
man
shall
be
in
body
,
life
,
or
goods
at
the
mercy
of
the
arbitrary
breast
of
one
man
,
who
sitteth
as
Judge
,
but
shall
be
tryed
by
twelve
indifferent
men
of
his
Peers
or
equalls
of
the
Neighbourhood
,
whose
verum
dictum
or
sentence
according
to
truth
,
the
Judge
is
to
declare
,
not
to
make
(
which
is
one
of
the
grand
Priviledges
of
the
people
of
the
English
N●tion
,
which
distinguisheth
them
free
(
viz.
)
that
no
Law
is
to
be
executed
upon
them
but
by
some
of
themselves
:
yet
these
Iurors
not
onely
come
under
the
Office
,
but
the
will
of
a
Iudge
,
and
what
he
arbitrarily
in
his
will
sets
up
,
they
pass
upon
as
the
Law
of
the
Nation
;
and
so
do
overthrow
that
which
was
established
by
the
Law
for
their
safeguard
,
and
defence
,
against
arbitrary
actings
;
and
do
set
up
that
,
which
to
prevent
,
and
overthrowe
,
as
one
of
the
sorest
Plagues
that
can
happen
to
men
,
the
law
hath
given
them
such
power
and
authoritie
;
so
sottishly
blind
,
and
outragiously
mad
are
men
when
the
Prince
of
darkness
is
their
leader
against
the
truth
of
God
,
who
that
they
may
destroy
those
in
whom
it
lives
,
they
mind
not
,
neither
care
what
becomes
of
their
own
consciences
,
beings
,
Freedoms
,
and
libertie
;
yea
even
of
that
which
but
the
day
before
they
put
their
lives
,
and
whatever
was
dear
to
them
in
their
hands
and
their
whole
Country
unto
hazard
for
to
preserve
,
piercing
the
very
life
of
their
own
liberties
through
the
sides
of
their
friends
,
whom
for
the
sake
of
the
truth
of
God
,
they
seek
to
destroy
,
whilst
they
stand
in
innocencie
for
the
liberties
wherein
all
English
men
are
equally
concern'd
;
and
throwing
away
all
the
Bloud
,
and
treasure
,
and
care
,
and
tuggings
,
and
restless
endeavours
of
the
former
,
and
later
ages
for
many
hundreds
of
years
,
(
we
will
not
change
the
Laws
of
England
,
hath
it
been
about
thirty
times
resolutely
declared
in
this
case
as
one
man
in
Parliament
,
and
those
very
words
recorded
,
when
the
strongest
endeavours
of
Monarchy
have
been
used
there
,
to
change
the
tryals
by
twelve
men
into
the
course
of
the
Civill
Law
,
which
is
onely
by
a
Judge
,
the
manner
of
the
other
Nations
,
who
never
knew
the
benefit
of
this
excellent
priviledge
)
that
they
may
satisfie
the
revenge
of
the
enemy
of
their
souls
on
such
,
though
when
this
libertie
is
lost
,
and
they
come
to
feel
on
themselves
what
they
now
do
to
others
,
they
may
be
willing
to
give
all
they
have
to
recover
it
when
(
perhaps
it
is
too
late
.
)
And
how
do
this
generation
shew
themselves
hereby
to
be
led
by
the
same
spirit
as
were
the
Jews
,
who
that
they
might
have
Iesus
the
Messiah
(
whom
they
long
look't
for
)
crucified
,
cryed
out
we
have
no
King
but
Cesar
,
who
above
all
Nations
hated
to
be
in
subjection
to
any
,
and
Iesus
came
to
make
them
free
,
as
it
was
said
of
the
Messiah
,
but
they
chose
slavery
before
him
,
and
that
which
they
chose
,
that
so
they
might
have
a
power
to
Crucifie
him
(
for
the
Romans
had
taken
away
their
power
of
putting
any
man
to
death
,
made
an
end
of
them
in
that
very
generation
from
being
a
Nation
,
as
he
foretold
them
,
as
it
had
before
in
the
highest
judiciall
power
of
life
and
death
.
O
ye
people
of
England
,
mind
this
,
and
consider
this
,
before
it
be
too
late
,
ye
who
talk
so
much
of
freedome
,
of
being
free-borne
English
men
,
of
the
fundamentall
Rights
,
and
liberties
of
England
,
and
glory
in
it
over
all
Nations
,
who
in
comparison
of
you
,
ye
have
said
,
are
slaves
and
vassals
to
the
lusts
and
wills
of
their
Lords
and
Princes
,
who
have
(
ye
and
your
Forefathers
)
gone
through
such
terrible
wars
,
and
Seas
of
Blood
to
make
and
preserve
your selves
so
;
if
you
continue
to
set
against
that
which
hath
made
and
kept
you
so
,
and
whose
presence
hath
brought
through
your
wars
for
it
,
who
is
now
come
that
hath
been
so
much
expected
to
set
you
free
both
in
body
and
soul
,
and
to
deliver
you
out
of
the
hands
of
all
your
enemies
,
that
you
might
serve
him
without
fear
in
holiness
and
righteousness
before
him
all
the
dayes
of
your
life
,
by
raising
up
his
owne
image
,
his
seed
,
which
is
come
to
,
and
must
raigne
for
ever
and
ever
,
which
,
you
every
where
persecute
,
and
grow
mad
against
;
where
it
doth
appear
,
and
bear
its
witness
,
and
throw
away
,
your
choicest
outward
liberties
,
the
value
of
the
price
aforesaid
to
effect
its
sufferings
,
you
may
expect
the
thing
,
that
you
have
feared
,
and
abhorred
,
and
fought
so
much
against
,
to
come
upon
you
in
its
perfection
(
viz.
)
will
and
power
to
be
your
Lord
,
and
your
liberties
and
freedomes
left
to
you
desolate
.
And
thus
much
of
the
indictment
of
the
Hat
,
and
Jurie
.
This
Judge
having
proceeded
with
the
Innocent
as
aforesaid
,
and
sent
them
back
fined
and
bound
to
prison
in
and
by
his
will
,
because
of
the
Hat
in
stead
of
doing
them
Justice
.
Ann
Blackling
received
the
same
measure
as
those
friends
of
her
Sexe
had
by
him
at
Exon
,
who
speaking
as
she
was
moved
of
the
Lord
to
two
priests
in
the
steeple-house
yard
near
Pendennis
,
was
set
upon
with
much
rage
,
&
brought
before
Capt.
Fox
,
Governour
of
Pendennis
Castle
,
and
by
him
with
great
fury
was
she
abused
,
and
called
whore
,
and
witch
,
and
told
that
she
and
that
generation
(
which
the
World
calls
Quakers
)
were
not
fit
to
live
,
scoffing
and
raging
,
and
gnashing
his
teeth
,
and
charged
her
with
oppressing
the
Country
,
who
asked
wherein
?
he
said
in
that
her
horse
did
eat
his
grass
(
the
horse
grazing
on
the
bank
of
the
Castle
whilst
she
was
there
brought
,
and
stay'd
till
he
came
,
and
for
that
purpose
as
appears
commanded
off
her
horse
against
her
will
,
and
therefore
set
to
graze
that
such
an
occasion
might
be
had
against
her
,
what
poor
shiftings
are
here
wherewithall
to
have
something
to
charge
the
Innocents
,
and
asked
her
whether
that
horse
was
her's
,
she
answered
it
was
so
.
He
said
he
would
have
him
,
if
the
horse
were
her's
.
she
replyed
the
horse
he
could
not
have
justly
,
for
that
she
had
mony
to
free
her
horse
for
the
grass
he
had
eaten
there
in
that
time
,
and
proffered
him
mony
and
bed
him
take
as
much
of
it
,
as
would
satisfie
him
for
the
grass
the
horse
had
eaten
,
that
so
neither
she
nor
her
horse
might
be
detayned
as
transgressors
,
or
as
oppressors
of
any
.
Whereupon
in
much
rage
he
sent
for
a
Constable
,
she
exhorted
him
to
the
fear
that
should
be
in
the
hearts
of
all
them
that
bear
rule
,
and
told
him
in
wisedom
,
and
fear
he
should
examine
,
else
the
Law
of
God
would
take
hold
of
him
,
and
asked
him
what
Law
she
had
transgressed
,
and
whether
he
did
rule
by
a
Law
?
and
would
have
spoken
further
,
but
he
was
so
full
of
rage
,
that
he
would
not
suffer
her
,
and
gnashing
his
teeth
told
her
,
that
they
would
stop
their
mouths
,
whom
he
called
Quakers
,
ere
it
were
long
,
she
told
him
,
those
peoples
kingdome
was
in
the
beginning
,
is
now
,
and
ever
shall
be
,
and
his
kingdome
was
of
this
world
which
was
falling
,
and
much
more
,
till
in
fury
he
committed
her
to
the
custodye
of
a
Constable
,
where
having
been
about
8.
or
9.
dayes
,
the
Constable
went
to
him
to
know
what
he
should
do
with
her
,
he
said
it
was
well
enough
to
keep
her
there
,
till
she
had
eaten
,
and
spent
her
horse
,
that
so
those
people
might
be
wearied
out
of
their
coasts
:
the
Constable
said
she
could
neither
sell
,
nor
take
her
horse
,
and
that
was
not
the
way
,
for
she
had
mony
enough
to
redeem
it
,
and
so
after
a
time
she
was
set
free
,
the
Constable
was
asham'd
for
what
was
done
to
her
;
But
as
she
passed
towards
Truro
,
she
was
stopt
by
a
watch
near
Smethwick
,
and
examined
,
and
carried
before
a
Constable
(
for
they
said
they
were
set
to
take
all
Quakers
)
who
was
in
much
fury
when
he
heard
of
the
name
of
a
Quaker
,
and
brought
her
before
Justice
Lobb
,
who
talked
with
her
concerning
her
faith
,
and
declared
against
it
,
&
said
if
she
would
not
deny
her
faith
,
to
prison
she
must
go
,
and
so
he
sent
her
(
after
his
wife
had
also
abused
her
)
to
Lanceston
Goale
the
21.
of
the
4.
month
1656.
with
a
warrant
filled
with
lyes
,
as
that
she
was
a
wanderer
,
where
she
was
used
by
the
Goaler
in
that
cruelty
as
hath
been
in
part
exprest
and
being
brought
before
this
Court
,
as
she
began
to
speak
for
her self
,
the
Goalers
wife
stopt
her
mouth
,
violently
with
her
hands
,
and
without
any
more
ado
the
Court
said
take
her
away
,
and
being
brought
again
to
the
Bar
,
commanded
to
have
her
away
without
permitting
her
to
speak
for
her self
,
though
they
sent
for
her
,
and
being
had
away
to
prison
;
sentenced
her
to
lye
there
till
she
found
sureties
for
the
good
behaviour
,
who
so
unjustly
had
been
dealt
withall
;
and
cruelly
had
suffered
,
having
not
offended
so
much
as
the
shadow
,
or
the
least
tittle
of
any
Law
,
nor
had
any
accuser
,
nor
accusation
produced
against
her
,
nor
had
she
offended
the
will
of
the
Hat
;
for
that
of
her
being
a
woman
could
not
be
sought
which
to
cause
the
men
further
to
suffer
,
who
had
so
much
suffered
wrongfully
before
,
and
ought
to
have
had
Justice
done
them
,
was
sought
after
as
an
occasion
.
But
as
for
George
Fox
,
Edw.
Piot
,
and
Will
.
Salt
,
and
Benjamin
M●inard
,
they
were
not
called
by
the
Judge
,
or
the
Court
,
but
the
Judge
caused
the
Goalers
petition
aforesaid
of
his
invented
lyes
to
be
read
against
them
,
(
viz.
)
that
they
would
hang
him
at
his
door
,
toss
his
children
on
spears
,
and
tread
his
wife
under
feet
,
and
said
,
they
should
be
brought
forth
to
answer
it
,
but
he
never
sent
for
them
,
nor
examined
them
concerning
it
,
whereby
the
truth
might
be
manifested
,
but
ordered
the
Goalers
wife
to
keep
them
closer
,
and
confined
them
for
the
time
to
come
to
the
Castle
,
and
whilst
he
should
be
in
the
Town
close
prisoners
,
and
she
moved
him
to
order
them
to
be
put
into
Doomsdale
,
pretending
that
without
such
an
order
,
they
could
not
confine
them
to
the
Castle
,
because
of
the
security
Capt.
Bradon
had
given
for
their
true
imprisonment
;
it
s
said
,
he
asked
how
the
Goaler
durst
to
take
security
for
them
,
and
commanded
they
should
be
more
strictly
lookt
to
,
and
took
notice
of
a
complaint
of
Peter
Killegrews
,
who
is
called
a
Knight
(
he
was
the
Post
between
the
late
King
,
and
Parliament
,
in
times
of
treaties
)
that
he
met
them
about
two
miles
from
the
Town
,
when
it
was
about
one
,
thereby
strengthening
their
bonds
,
and
encouraging
cruelty
upon
them
,
in
stead
of
hearing
their
cause
and
executing
judgement
for
them
,
who
had
so
suffered
as
hath
been
said
;
whose
sufferings
as
they
had
been
made
very
heavy
by
the
Goaler
,
and
the
Recorder
,
and
the
Mayor
,
as
hath
been
said
,
so
now
all
endeavours
were
used
,
to
keep
them
from
being
made
known
to
the
Judge
.
And
therefore
Ann
Downer
,
and
Grace
Burgis
standing
on
the
first
day
of
the
week
in
the
entrie
of
the
House
,
where
the
Judge
lodged
(
having
leave
from
the
people
thereof
so
to
do
)
to
deliver
him
papers
from
the
prisoners
,
of
the
ground
of
their
imprisonment
;
&
their
sufferings
,
as
he
should
come
forth
,
were
at
the
command
of
the
Mayor
,
by
his
officers
carried
to
the
dark
house
,
and
kept-there
till
the
evening
,
and
thus
much
concerning
this
Judge
,
and
his
Justice
,
and
his
Assizes
,
and
the
usages
of
the
Innocent
,
and
the
condition
wherein
they
were
cast
,
and
left
,
by
him
and
them
.
Whilest
these
things
were
in
hand
,
and
these
cruelties
breathed
forth
,
and
exercised
on
the
oppressed
,
Generall
Disborow
came
to
Lanceston
,
who
the
third
day
of
the
week
in
the
afternoon
being
at
a
large
house
in
the
Town
,
with
the
Sheriff
and
Justices
,
sent
for
Edward
Pyot
,
and
William
Salt
,
and
enquired
of
them
concerning
the
abuses
they
had
received
from
the
Goaler
,
and
as
they
gave
them
,
took
them
particularly
in
writing
with
his
own
hand
;
and
then
examined
the
Goaler
,
as
to
every
particular
,
and
took
his
answer
,
and
heard
the
replie
made
thereunto
by
the
prisoners
,
till
he
had
gone
over
all
;
then
the
Generall
heard
the
Goalers
complaint
against
them
,
mentioned
in
his
petition
aforesaid
,
which
had
gone
about
to
Sessions
and
Assizes
to
cover
his
crueltie
towards
them
;
by
inventing
words
of
crueltie
,
as
if
spoken
by
them
,
and
then
bringing
what
he
had
so
invented
in
charge
upon
them
:
And
asked
the
Goaler
whether
any
heard
the
words
besides
himself
,
He
answered
.
yes
,
and
named
four
of
his
Companions
,
who
were
the
prisoners
greatest
enemies
,
three
of
these
the
Generall
sent
for
,
and
examined
them
,
whilst
the
prisoners
were
withdrawn
,
(
the
fourth
was
the
under-Goaler
,
who
had
sworn
to
part
of
it
at
Sessions
,
but
by
the
Goalers
wife
was
contradicted
,
as
to
what
he
had
sworn
,
when
he
returned
,
)
these
three
denyed
that
ever
they
heard
any
such
words
,
as
the
Goaler
had
mentioned
of
the
prisoners
in
his
petition
.
He
demanded
what
words
they
had
heard
from
them
to
the
Goaler
,
and
from
the
Goaler
to
them
?
they
answered
,
that
they
had
heard
the
Goaler
call
the
prisoners
rogues
,
and
the
ptisoners
call
him
drunken-beast
,
&
swine
,
which
passages
the
Generall
told
the
prisoners
,
after
he
had
caused
them
to
be
called
in
again
,
&
said
such
as
would
be
drunk
were
beasts
,
and
swine
,
and
worse
,
and
therefore
might
well
be
called
so
;
and
all
this
was
before
the
Sheriff
,
Justices
,
and
many
people
of
outward
quality
,
and
others
of
the
Countrey
;
and
the
Goaler
he
sharply
rebuked
,
and
reproved
for
his
abuse
to
the
prisoners
,
and
spake
civily
of
them
to
the
Justices
,
and
people
,
that
they
were
not
to
be
abused
,
and
of
his
knowledge
of
some
of
them
in
particular
:
and
vindicated
they
were
openly
from
all
the
lyes
,
and
slaunders
cast
upon
them
,
and
the
master
did
he
sift
and
examine
to
the
bottom
throughly
,
and
with
impartiality
,
wherein
he
did
nobly
,
according
to
Justice
,
and
said
,
God
forbid
,
but
they
should
have
their
meetings
in
peace
,
and
quietness
,
for
he
was
not
against
them
,
nor
should
such
be
molested
who
met
together
to
pray
to
God
,
and
to
edifie
one
another
:
And
the
Justices
excused
themselves
before
the
Generall
,
as
to
what
the
Goaler
had
said
of
them
,
they
should
say
against
the
prisoners
as
aforesaid
at
the
Sessions
at
Truro
,
and
acknowledged
the
prisoners
had
been
abused
by
the
Goaler
,
and
so
had
they
by
his
belying
of
them
,
all
of
them
,
except
Capt.
Fox
,
Richard
Lobb
,
and
Thomas
Gewen
;
denying
what
he
had
said
of
them
as
aforesaid
:
And
when
the
prisoners
answered
it
were
much
if
they
should
be
so
wicked
,
and
the
reason
why
they
did
not
then
reprove
the
Goaler
,
might
be
in
regard
the
representation
of
their
sufferings
might
not
come
to
their
view
,
because
Thomas
Gewen
receiving
it
,
grasp't
it
up
together
and
said
he
would
make
mum
of
it
,
the
Generall
asked
him
whether
that
were
so
,
and
what
he
meant
by
mum
?
He
said
he
understood
it
was
a
Quakers
letter
,
and
so
not
to
be
taken
notice
of
,
(
so
that
the
sufferings
of
the
people
,
whom
he
calls
Quakers
,
whom
he
divides
from
the
Nation
,
and
the
protection
of
the
Law
,
which
is
contrary
to
the
Law
and
Government
of
the
Nation
,
be
they
what
they
will
,
and
their
innocency
,
are
not
to
be
taken
notice
of
,
but
to
be
laught
at
on
the
Bench
as
he
did
,
when
being
Judge
of
the
Court
,
he
had
added
to
their
oppressions
contrary
to
Law
as
hath
been
said
,
would
he
be
content
that
such
measure
should
be
measured
to
him
,
and
the
people
whom
he
owns
?
This
is
Thomas
Gewen
Recorder
of
Lanceston
,
and
his
justice
.
)
And
the
Generall
owned
his
letter
sent
in
April
before
to
the
Goaler
,
to
use
the
prisoners
civily
,
which
they
said
was
a
counterfeit
,
and
he
gave
the
Goaler
a
charge
not
to
abuse
them
,
and
shortly
after
ordered
him
to
be
turned
out
of
his
place
:
This
just
and
even
carriage
of
things
by
the
Generall
changed
the
face
of
Justices
,
Town
,
&
Countrey
,
so
that
even
the
enemies
of
the
prisoners
commended
his
searching
out
the
matter
,
and
doing
the
prisoners
Justice
,
and
much
altered
was
it
,
from
what
it
was
but
even
then
,
by
reason
of
the
former
proceedings
,
and
of
the
Judge
at
the
Assizes
towards
the
prisoners
,
who
from
that
time
found
from
them
quietness
and
civill
usage
:
A
wise
King
scattereth
the
wicked
,
and
bringeth
the
wheele
over
them
,
saith
Salomon
,
by
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
,
Prov.
20.26
.
And
in
the
close
of
that
day
the
Generall
propounded
to
them
the
liberties
of
all
the
prisoners
,
upon
condition
if
they
would
repair
every
one
to
their
Homes
,
if
the
Lord
permitted
,
to
which
they
then
answered
to
this
purpose
,
that
they
stood
in
the
will
of
God
therein
to
be
guided
by
his
power
,
he
bad
them
consider
of
it
till
the
next
morning
,
and
so
they
departed
.
The
next
day
an
answer
in
writing
was
sent
and
delivered
to
Generall
Disborow
from
the
prisoners
to
that
his
proposition
,
as
followeth
.
Friend
,
WE
which
be
in
the
power
of
God
,
the
ruler
of
all
,
the
upholder
of
all
things
,
and
dwell
in
his
power
,
to
it
must
be
obedient
,
which
brings
us
to
stand
out
of
all
mens
wills
not
limited
.
Now
in
case
to
say
we
will
,
if
the
Lord
permit
,
in
case
to
buy
,
and
sell
and
get
gaine
,
which
if
the
intent
be
so
to
do
,
may
be
deceit
,
but
the
case
standing
in
the
power
to
do
the
will
of
God
,
standing
in
the
power
to
do
his
will
,
and
to
stand
out
of
mans
will
,
if
he
propound
,
he
shall
have
his
liberty
if
he
will
say
he
will
go
to
his
outward
Being
,
if
the
Lord
permit
,
if
it
be
the
will
of
God
,
and
because
he
cannot
say
those
words
for
such
a
cause
,
shall
not
have
his
liberty
,
when
he
knows
that
the
will
of
God
is
that
he
must
go
to
,
and
speak
at
some
other
place
:
so
that
here
he
cannot
speak
these
words
true
,
for
to
say
we
will
go
to
our
outward
habitation
,
if
it
be
according
to
the
will
of
God
,
when
we
know
it
is
the
will
of
God
otherwise
,
now
we
cannot
speak
so
true
,
and
clearly
,
neither
can
a
man
say
so
to
him
,
that
requireth
it
of
him
,
who
stands
in
the
power
,
which
knows
the
power
of
God
,
which
leadeth
him
according
to
Gods
will
,
and
leadeth
him
to
another
place
than
that
which
is
called
his
outward
Home
:
But
the
Son
of
God
hath
no
where
to
lay
his
head
,
who
came
to
do
the
will
of
God
,
who
doth
the
will
of
God
:
the
Apostles
and
many
of
the
followers
of
Christ
had
no
certain
dwelling
place
,
now
if
these
should
have
been
restrained
,
because
they
would
not
say
they
would
go
to
that
which
the
world
calls
their
outward
homes
,
if
it
were
the
will
of
God
,
to
satisfie
that
mind
to
speak
these
words
,
and
they
know
it
is
the
will
of
God
they
should
not
,
and
they
could
not
doe
the
will
of
God
in
doing
so
;
Abram
could
not
do
the
will
of
God
,
but
in
going
from
his
native
,
and
who
are
of
faith
are
of
Abraham
,
of
whom
Christ
came
according
to
the
flesh
.
Now
you
may
alleadge
and
say
,
this
is
to
let
all
loose
,
and
liberty
to
idleness
,
no
,
such
as
be
in
the
power
of
God
doe
the
will
of
God
,
come
to
receive
his
wisedome
by
which
all
his
creatures
were
created
,
by
which
to
use
them
to
his
glory
.
This
we
shall
say
,
who
are
moved
of
the
Lord
God
of
glory
,
and
power
to
go
to
our
outward
beings
,
and
habitations
,
such
may
of
us
go
to
our
outward
Beings
,
and
Homes
to
be
diligent
in
serving
the
Lord
God
in
their
generation
,
diligently
serving
him
in
life
,
and
doctrine
,
in
manners
and
conversation
in
all
things
:
And
who
are
moved
of
the
Lord
to
go
to
any
other
place
which
stands
in
his
will
,
who
are
moved
by
the
power
of
the
Lord
,
which
comprehends
all
things
,
which
is
not
to
be
limited
,
we
shall
do
his
will
,
which
we
are
commanded
to
do
.
So
the
Lord
God
open
your
understandings
that
you
may
now
see
this
great
power
of
the
Lord
,
which
is
now
manifesting
among
his
children
in
this
his
day
,
that
you
may
not
withstand
it
.
Our
friends
that
are
come
to
the
power
of
God
to
him
,
&
know
him
by
whom
the
World
was
made
,
by
whom
all
things
were
created
,
that
were
created
,
&
there
was
not
any
thing
made
that
was
made
,
but
what
was
made
by
him
,
&
to
him
,
&
by
him
who
is
the
power
of
God
,
who
doth
enlighten
every
one
that
cometh
into
the
world
.
Now
our
friends
being
come
to
this
light
,
which
comes
from
Christ
,
and
received
power
from
him
by
whom
all
things
were
created
,
who
hath
all
power
both
in
Heaven
and
Earth
,
given
to
him
who
is
the
wisedome
of
God
,
we
having
received
wisedome
,
and
power
from
him
,
that
with
which
the
Lord
doth
give
us
to
know
,
how
to
use
,
and
order
the
creatures
,
to
the
glory
of
him
,
who
is
the
creator
of
all
things
,
so
our
friends
are
here
taught
of
the
Lord
to
be
diligent
serving
him
,
who
comes
into
the
life
that
the
Scriptures
were
given
forth
from
,
and
of
this
we
in
all
your
consciences
have
a
witness
,
so
if
thou
open
the
prison
door
,
we
shall
not
stay
there
,
if
thou
send
a
free
liberate
,
we
shall
not
stay
in
prison
,
if
thou
will
set
us
free
,
for
Israel
is
to
go
out
free
,
whose
freedome
is
purchased
by
the
power
of
God
,
and
the
blood
of
Jesus
,
but
going
out
of
the
power
of
God
,
he
looseth
his
freedome
.
Geo
:
Fox
,
and
the
rest
who
are
sufferers
for
the
truths
sake
in
Lanceston
Goale
.
To
these
their
answers
the
prisoners
heard
nothing
till
the
next
morning
by
Capt:
Braddon
,
who
sending
for
some
of
them
a
litle
after
Generall
Disborow
was
departed
the
town
,
signified
,
if
they
would
engage
as
aforesaid
,
and
pay
Fees
,
they
might
have
a
let
passe
to
depart
to
their
homes
,
but
thereunto
they
could
not
consent
,
and
so
returned
to
prison
.
The
same
proposition
of
liberty
upon
engaging
to
goe
to
their
severall
homes
,
if
the
Lord
permit
,
was
sent
to
the
prisoners
at
Exon
,
in
answer
whereunto
they
wrote
Generall
Disborow
,
as
followeth
.
We
came
into
these
parts
standing
in
the
will
and
councell
of
the
Lord
,
and
it
is
our
freedom
where
ever
we
are
to
stand
in
that
councell
,
and
if
thou
dost
set
us
at
liberty
in
the
outward
,
which
ought
to
be
done
,
we
stand
in
the
Councell
of
our
God
,
if
he
lead
us
to
our
outward
habitations
,
we
are
free
to
go
,
but
if
the
Lord
move
any
of
us
else
where
,
we
dare
not
to
be
disobedient
,
for
he
is
a
consuming
fire
to
those
that
are
rebellious
,
and
we
standing
in
the
will
,
and
councell
of
the
Lord
must
follow
the
Lamb
whether
he
goes
.
And
the
prisoners
of
Lanceston
signified
in
writing
to
Coll:
Bennet
,
the
unresonableness
of
demanding
of
them
to
take
a
pass
upon
necessity
,
when
no
such
thing
is
required
of
those
who
have
been
charged
with
murder
and
fellony
,
or
any
such
thing
found
to
be
laid
upon
the
Apostles
in
their
travellings
to
preach
Jesus
Christ
,
nor
ought
any
such
thing
to
be
exacted
of
the
Innocent
,
for
whom
the
Law
is
not
made
,
but
for
the
transgressor
,
and
also
of
paying
Fees
,
who
had
been
so
long
detayned
in
prison
without
being
convicted
of
the
breach
of
any
Law
of
the
Nation
,
who
indeed
no
Law
had
transgressed
,
especialy
to
such
a
goaler
under
whom
they
had
so
suffered
as
aforesaid
,
as
they
had
given
in
their
answer
to
the
proposition
of
liberty
upon
engaging
to
go
to
their
respective
homes
,
if
the
Lord
permit
.
But
litle
heard
they
in
answer
thereunto
till
the
29.
of
the
6.
month
,
at
which
time
Collonel
Bennet
came
to
the
town
,
and
sent
for
Edward
Pyott
,
and
William
Salt
,
and
reasoned
with
them
concerning
the
proposition
,
and
let
pass
,
but
obtaining
nothing
from
them
therein
,
but
according
to
what
they
had
wrote
,
unto
which
they
stood
unalterable
,
and
that
if
they
lay
there
seven
years
,
at
the
end
thereof
,
they
should
find
them
the
same
men
,
he
friendly
parted
from
them
,
and
some
time
after
he
and
Capt.
Braddon
sent
for
Edward
Pyot
,
and
William
Salt
,
and
freed
them
and
the
rest
of
the
prisoners
,
without
condition
of
going
to
their
homes
,
or
let
pass
,
or
any
other
thing
whatsoever
,
saying
that
they
would
not
press
them
to
any
engagement
,
which
might
be
any
offence
to
that
of
God
in
their
conscience
.
Notwithstanding
the
goaler
(
though
he
was
present
when
the
Justices
thus
freed
the
prisoners
without
consideration
of
Fees
,
or
otherwise
,
for
Fees
they
had
in
their
papers
denied
to
pay
)
did
not
set
them
at
liberty
,
and
being
demanded
by
them
the
reason
,
he
said
,
they
were
free
by
the
Justices
order
,
but
he
detayned
them
for
their
Fees
;
and
so
now
they
became
the
Goalers
prisoners
,
as
they
had
been
before
P.
Ceelies
,
and
the
chief
Justice
Glyn's
,
who
herein
acted
contrary
to
the
Protectors
Government
,
notstithstanding
they
put
it
under
his
name
,
and
authority
.
Of
this
they
sent
Collonel
Bennet
information
,
but
nothing
in
answer
they
received
from
him
,
till
the
8.
of
the
7.
month
,
the
next
morning
after
which
being
the
9.
of
the
7.
month
,
he
came
to
Lanceston
,
and
set
them
at
liberty
freely
,
without
any
condition
whatsoever
.
And
so
as
innocently
they
came
out
of
prison
,
as
innocently
they
were
put
in
.
After
they
were
thus
set
at
liberty
free
from
any
obligation
,
as
they
were
cast
into
prison
free
of
any
offence
,
and
during
the
time
of
their
being
detayned
there
free
of
any
crime
proved
against
them
,
William
Salt
,
one
of
the
late
aforesaid
prisoners
,
went
to
Peter
Ceelie
,
and
desired
of
him
to
restore
the
papers
,
and
the
Book
against
Popery
(
called
by
him
scandalous
)
which
he
took
from
them
,
when
he
apprehended
them
,
seeing
nothing
contayned
in
them
,
as
the
transgression
of
any
Law
was
proved
against
them
,
P.
Ceely
answered
he
had
delivered
them
to
Generall
Disborow
,
and
afterwards
said
to
Edw.
Pyot
,
he
had
delivered
them
to
the
Judge
,
see
whether
any
truth
be
in
this
man
(
or
any
credit
to
be
given
to
what
he
said
)
and
gave
W.
Salt
high
language
,
and
said
,
he
would
know
where
he
had
been
,
and
whether
he
came
thither
without
a
pass
?
The
next
day
,
being
the
first
day
of
the
week
as
W.
Salt
was
walking
alone
waiting
on
the
Lord
,
P.
Ceely
,
and
Michael
Vivian
met
him
,
as
they
were
passing
to
the
high
place
to
worship
,
in
the
Parrish
called
Guithion
;
and
these
very
much
urged
him
to
come
to
their
assembly
,
which
P.
Ceelie
called
the
Communion
of
Saints
,
urging
it
again
,
and
again
,
and
asked
him
why
he
would
walk
there
in
the
field
,
and
not
come
to
their
meeting
place
,
saying
he
might
come
,
and
hear
,
and
then
judge
,
he
replyed
he
stood
not
in
their
wills
,
but
if
it
were
the
will
of
the
Lord
to
have
him
come
thither
,
he
should
do
it
.
And
afterwards
being
moved
of
the
Lord
he
went
,
and
when
the
Priest
,
one
Tregosse
a
youth
,
one
of
P.
Ceelies
sisters
sons
(
as
is
said
)
had
done
reading
his
notes
,
papers
,
and
other
services
,
shaking
his
gold
ring
on
his
finger
,
and
his
broad
cuffes
on
his
hands
,
like
a
lad
acting
in
a
stage-play
,
W.
Salt
said
,
he
came
not
there
to
disturbe
them
,
but
seeing
they
had
done
speaking
,
he
had
a
few
words
to
speak
unto
them
,
whereupon
P.
Ceelie
,
(
who
had
said
to
him
,
come
,
hear
,
and
judge
as
aforesaid
)
was
offended
,
and
his
countenance
fell
,
and
became
pale
,
and
called
for
a
Constable
to
take
him
away
,
which
was
forthwith
done
,
and
then
P.
Ceely
passed
a●ong
with
the
young
Priest
,
saying
,
such
things
were
not
to
be
suffered
,
though
what
was
done
was
against
no
Law
,
and
was
but
what
himself
had
said
,
and
urged
him
unto
;
and
came
directly
to
the
house
where
he
had
set
up
his
horse
,
where
he
framed
a
warrant
to
send
him
to
prison
without
any
examination
,
which
when
he
had
written
,
he
gave
to
the
Constable
,
requiring
him
to
take
W.
Salt
into
custodie
,
bidding
him
if
he
wanted
mony
to
sell
W.
Salts
horse
to
pay
the
charges
,
and
to
W.
Salt
he
said
,
he
would
warrant
he
now
might
lie
long
enough
in
prison
,
(
who
after
he
had
spoken
to
him
to
come
there
,
to
do
as
hath
been
said
,
with
his
other
friends
afore
mentioned
,
had
layne
two
hundred
,
thirty
and
five
dayes
before
in
prison
upon
occasion
of
his
commitment
,
and
under
the
cruel
sufferings
,
from
which
he
was
but
then
at
liberty
,
as
hath
been
said
)
and
so
went
his
way
,
and
W.
Salt
was
conveyed
to
Lanceston
,
and
delivered
to
the
Goaler
there
in
custody
,
with
a
warrant
,
a
copy
whereof
is
as
followeth
.
Cornwall
.
To
the
Keeper
of
the
Goale
at
Lanceston
,
or
his
lawfull
deputy
.
These
,
I
Send
you
here
withall
the
body
of
W.
Salt
late
of
London
,
who
came
this
day
into
the
Congregation
at
Guithen
,
and
there
irreverently
demeaned
himself
,
in
time
of
prayer
keeping
his
Hat
on
,
and
at
close
of
the
exercise
,
before
the
Minister
came
out
of
his
pulpit
,
vilified
him
,
and
disturbed
the
Congregation
,
contrary
to
the
command
of
God
,
&
Law
of
this
Nation
.
These
are
therefore
in
the
name
of
his
Highness
the
Lord
Protector
,
to
will
and
command
you
,
that
you
take
him
into
custody
,
and
him
safely
to
keep
untill
you
he
be
thence
delivered
by
due
course
of
Law
,
and
hereof
fail
you
not
as
you
will
answer
the
contrary
at
your
utmost
perill
.
Given
under
my
hand
and
Seal
this
14.
day
of
September
1656.
P.
Ceely
.
Into
the
Congregation
.
W.
Salt
came
,
being
moved
of
the
Lord
,
to
which
Pet.
Ceely
,
and
his
companion
often
urged
him
,
as
hath
been
said
,
and
now
chargeth
him
with
so
doing
.
There
he
stood
in
the
reverence
and
fear
of
the
Lord
God
,
who
regards
not
the
prayers
of
the
wicked
,
which
are
an
abomination
unto
him
,
nor
can
his
saints
,
who
pray
to
him
in
spirit
,
and
worship
him
in
spirit
,
bow
to
such
,
and
modestly
and
mildly
did
he
there
demean
himself
.
Vilifie
the
vaine
Lad
whom
he
calls
a
Minister
he
did
not
,
nor
interrupt
him
(
as
they
call
it
)
but
heard
with
silence
,
though
he
told
the
people
a
storie
of
a
Mule
cloathed
in
a
Lions
skin
,
and
then
would
tell
them
the
Morall
of
it
,
when
he
was
the
Lion
in
the
mules
skin
,
as
it
afterwards
appeared
.
The
truth
he
spake
,
&
the
speaking
of
truth
is
not
vilifying
.
He
exhorted
the
people
to
mind
Christ
the
Bishop
of
their
souls
,
that
him
alone
might
be
their
teacher
,
where
they
would
find
rest
to
their
souls
,
and
told
them
that
he
that
made
them
,
was
come
to
teach
them
,
and
those
who
come
hither
,
need
not
go
forth
.
This
is
what
he
said
,
and
this
it
seems
is
vilifying
in
P.
Ceelies
account
,
as
he
called
the
paper
given
forth
by
G.
F.
directing
people
to
the
way
to
Salvation
by
Jesus
Christ
,
only
in
the
words
of
the
Scriptures
of
truth
,
mentioned
in
the
beginning
of
this
treatise
,
sinfull
,
and
wicked
,
and
tending
to
the
disturbance
of
the
peace
,
and
therefore
committed
them
,
under
which
they
have
suffered
without
mercy
,
as
hath
been
exprest
,
so
let
him
who
reads
and
understands
,
see
what
a
profane
person
,
and
unheard
of
blasphemer
is
this
P.
Ceely
,
and
when
W.
Salt
asked
P.
Ceely
,
whether
that
was
to
vilifie
to
bid
people
turn
to
the
light
,
&
so
to
Christ
the
true
shepherd
,
from
all
the
false
Prophets
,
&
blind
guides
,
P.
Ceely
bad
the
people
take
notice
.
And
in
his
warrant
he
ought
to
have
expressed
wherein
he
did
vilifie
him
,
in
which
he
is
silent
.
And
speak
he
did
not
till
the
young
Priest
was
gone
out
of
his
pulpit
;
so
here
is
another
lye
under
his
hand
and
Seale
.
Nor
did
he
disturbe
the
Congregation
,
for
the
people
were
very
attentive
to
hear
untill
P.
Ceely
stirred
them
up
to
hale
him
out
,
so
P.
Ceely
was
the
peace-breaker
,
as
he
hath
shewn
himself
in
this
particular
again
a
lyer
,
and
one
who
in
this
whole
action
,
and
warrant
hath
acted
contrary
to
the
command
of
God
,
and
the
Law
of
this
Nation
,
though
he
chargeth
W.
Salt
.
with
both
,
which
are
two
lyes
more
.
For
,
first
,
in
obedience
to
the
movings
of
the
Lord
he
came
thither
;
and
at
his
command
spake
in
the
words
of
soberness
,
and
truth
as
hath
been
said
:
And
the
Apostle
saith
,
ye
may
all
Prophesie
one
by
one
,
that
all
may
learne
,
and
all
may
be
comforted
;
&
if
any
thing
be
revealed
to
another
that
stands
by
,
let
the
first
,
hold
his
peace
,

Cor.

.
but
P.
Ceely
in
stopping
W.
Salts
mouth
,
as
he
was
speaking
something
,
which
to
him
was
revealed
,
and

And
if

wherefore
is

It

it self

at

in

manifests
,
and
for
going
to
visit
the
Innocent
thus
,
and
for
this
cause
cast
into
prison
,
and
under
such
cruell
sufferings
:
is
this
England

are
these
the
people
that
have
gone
through
such
wars
,
which
have
made
the
world
to
ring
for
liberty
of

?
Who
talk
so
much
of
Christ
,
and
his
glorious
Gospell
,
and
yet
thus
persecute
the
life
of
the
Son
of

,
now
made

Not
that
our

things
,
is
this
written
,
but
that
every
thing
may
be
shewn
,
and
laid
in
its
own
place
.
But
this
is
not
all
yet
,
this
generation
have
yet
to
fill
up
the
measure
of
their
iniquity
in
this
their
hour
,
&
the
powers
of
darkness
;
they
must
yet
shew
themselves
to
be
more
blind
,
and
bru●tish
,
cruell
,
and
unreasonable
than
the
generations
whom
they
have
succeeded
,
in
persecuting
of
the
just
;
and
to
be
such
as
are
as
unsatiable
as
hell
,
whom
the
sufferings
and
blood
of
the
Innocent
doth
not
suffice
,
or
make
them
once
to
say
it
is
enough
;
they
must
make
it
to
appear
that
one
and
the
same
spirit
of
ravening
and
cruelty
is
in
,
and
acts
through
the
diversities
of
painted
formes
of
Godliness
,
without
the
power
,
and
the
glorious
outsides
of
profession
without
the
life
,
as
is
in
,
and
acts
through
the
outwardly
more
dark
;
and
filthy
part
of
the
world
,
against
the
truth
of
the
living
God
,
where
it
is
made
manifest
;
and
that
they
,
and
them
all
are
of
the
same
stock
lineage
,
and
kindred
,
having
all
one
Father
,
him
who
aboad

truth
,
the
Devill
,
the
murderous
persecutor
of
the
seed
of
God
throughout
all
ages
from
the
beginning
.
Therefore
the
wisedome
of
God
sent
again
some
of
his
Innocent
servants
,
who
had
long
and
sorely
suffered
in
,
and
were
released
out
of
the
Goale
at
Lanceston
,
as
hath
been
said

into
that
County
of
Cornwall
,
to
trie

prove
this
generation
further
,

to
bring
forth
to
the

what
had
layn
hid
in
the
bottome
of
the

of

out
of

unsatiable

malice
,
for

for
seeing
of
him
travell
quietly
on

high-way
,
took
him
up
,

sent
him
from

I
have
at

taken
him
upon

cannot
shew

contrarywise
straggling
up

down

barbarous
usage

there
sustained

it
rather
to
be
the
Goalers

than
his
command

had
sent
him
thither
a
prisoner

aforesaid

who
therefore
committed
him
to
the

Goale

,
where
the
Goaler
cast
him
into
the

den
,
and
with
the
same
barbarous
usage
intreated
him
as
hath
been
said
,
out
of

he
and
his
friend
had
been

a
few
dayes

delivered

occasions

in

hast
said
him
to
be
a

dost
not

from
whence
it
preceeded
;
which
makes
up
a
seaventh
,
there
remains
in
thy
warrant
,
as
the
cause
of
his
commitment
,
this
particular
only
,
(
viz.
)
I
have
at
this
instant
taken
him
on
the
high-way
And
this
is
the
great
crime
,
and
the
hainous
offence
,
for
which
thou
dost
chayne
him
again
under
bonds
in
the
very
place
,
and
under
the
same
inhumane
Goaler
,
where
and
under
whom
he
had
,
without
a
cause
,
so
long
and
so
cruelly
suffered
.
And
so
hast
thou
manifested
thy self
herein
,
to
be
a
merciless
,
blood-thirsty
,
insatiable
tyrant
,
in
this
,
as
in
thy
lyes
,
and
thy
other
wickedness
mentioned
in
this
relation
,
thou
appearest
to
be
one
who
art
impudent
,
and
hardned
in
iniquity
,
without
shame
,
or
blushing
,
having
thy
conscience
seared
past
feeling
,
sealed
up
,
and
even
ripe
for
judgement
,
which
will
cut
thee
off
ere
long
,
and
divide
thee
thy
portion
with
Hipocrites
and
Sinners
;
Therefore
mind
and
take
warning
before
it
be
too
late
.
For
in
the
day
of
thy
calamitie
,
when
the
righteous
judgements
of
God
shall
take
hold
on
thee
,
this
shallt
thou
remember
,
that
thou
hast
been
warned
,
and
that
the
long
suffering
of
the
Lord
towards
thee
hath
been
great
,
which
thou
hast
despised
,
and
his
visitation
of
love
,
and
silent
shalt
thou
be
before
thy
Judge
,
When
these
things
,
shall
rise
up
in
thee
a
worme
that
never
dyeth
,
and
a
fire
that
shall
never
go
out
;
Therefore
,
whilst
thou
hast
yet
time
,
consider
,
and
lay
it
to
heart
,
least
thou
say
time
is
past
,
and
thou
perish
in
thine
iniquities
;
From
the
Lord
God
thou
art
warned
,
whose
Witnesse
shall
I
be
for
him
in
the
day
he
shall
reward
thee
according
to
thy
works
.
Shortly
after
this
commitment
was
the
generall
Quarter
Sessions
of
the
peace
for
that
County
held
at
Bodmin
,
whither
W.
Salt
(
though
the
Gaoler
had
denied
his
carrying
him
thither
for
ten
pounds
)
and
Joseph
Coal
were
brought
,
whom
to
abuse
being
there
,
P.
Ceely
(
as
the
men
sayd
themselves
)
sent
Keale
(
who
was
the
cause
of
the
apprehension
of
G.
Fox
,
E.
Pyot
,
and
W.
Salt
,
as
hath
been
said
)
and
two
other
rude
fellows
,
who
coming
into
the
room
where
the
Prisoners
were
the
night
before
their
triall
,
offered
them
many
incivilities
and
abuses
,
which
occasioned
the
following
Representation
to
be
drawn
by
them
,
and
for
the
Court
,
that
thereof
they
might
not
be
ignorant
.
Bodmin
,
the
9.
day
of
the
8.
month
1656.
.
To
the
hands
of
Colonel
Bennet
,
and
the
rest
of
the
Justices
,
at
their
Sessions
at
Bodmin
.
Friend
,
and
Friends
,
IT
is
recorded
in
the
Scriptures
of
truth
,
that
Paul
,
a
servant
of
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ
,
an
Hebrew
of
the
Hebrews
,
of
the
Tribe
of
Benjamin
,
when
he
was
a
Prisoner
under
the
Romanes
,
that
he
was
suffered
to
dwell
by
himself
,
and
he
dwelt
in
his
own
hired
house
,
and
received
all
that
came
in
unto
him
,
preaching
the
Kingdome
of
God
,
and
teaching
those
things
that
concerned
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ
with
all
confidence
,
no
man
forbidding
him
.
And
we
do
not
reade
that
liberty
of
conscience
was
one
of
the
Fundamentals
of
the
Roman
Government
,
or
that
they
had
made
provision
by
a
Law
for
all
that
professed
faith
in
God
by
Jesus
Christ
,
to
be
protected
,
though
they
were
different
from
the
doctrine
,
discipline
,
and
worship
,
as
was
then
in
being
,
and
not
to
be
compelled
thereunto
,
but
won
by
sound
doctrine
,
and
the
example
of
a
good
conversation
,
as
the
Government
of
this
Nation
hath
provided
,
as
in
the
36.
and
37.
Articles
of
the
Instrument
of
Government
.
Neither
do
we
reade
,
that
liberty
of
conscience
was
held
forth
by
them
to
be
a
natural
right
,
that
every
man
might
claim
:
Yet
they
that
did
not
make
this
provision
,
suffered
the
thing
;
for
all
that
would
come
unto
Paul
,
he
spake
boldly
the
things
concerning
the
Kingdome
of
God
,
and
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ
,
no
man
forbidding
him
;
which
was
far
from
sending
men
to
abuse
him
,
or
make
a
sport
of
him
,
or
asking
people
that
came
to
visit
him
,
whence
they
were
,
or
what
they
would
have
there
,
or
why
they
did
not
get
them
about
their
business
,
or
why
come
they
there
to
be
seduced
,
as
was
done
to
us
the
last
night
,
who
are
Prisoners
for
the
eternal
truth
,
as
Paul
was
,
and
stand
witnesses
for
the
Lord
in
our
measures
,
as
he
did
;
yet
we
in
our
own
Nation
being
Prisoners
,
who
were
causelesly
cast
into
Prison
without
the
transgression
of
any
Law
,
and
here
to
be
brought
in
order
to
our
trial
,
to
hear
what
any
man
hath
to
accuse
us
of
,
and
in
the
face
of
the
Authority
of
this
Countie
,
even
while
you
were
sitting
,
as
we
understand
,
to
have
three
men
come
into
our
chamber
to
disturb
us
,
under
a
pretence
to
search
for
papers
,
asking
where
the
seditious
papers
were
,
and
charging
us
of
sedition
and
blasphemy
,
and
having
designs
,
and
having
a
plot
in
hand
,
calling
us
Jesuits
,
using
other
reproachfull
words
;
and
when
we
asked
for
their
Warrant
,
or
by
what
authority
they
came
in
to
disturb
us
,
one
of
them
,
named
James
Sparnell
,
put
his
hand
on
his
sword
,
and
said
,
that
was
his
Warrant
;
another
of
them
was
Keale
,
a
Trooper
under
P.
Ceely
,
who
formerly
falsly
accused
W.
Salt
unto
him
;
and
the
third
was
one
Davis
,
an
Exciseman
,
who
it
seems
came
along
with
them
to
make
sport
,
pointing
at
one
,
and
asking
whether
he
was
not
brought
up
at
the
Vniversity
,
clapping
Sparnell
on
the
shoulder
,
setting
him
on
to
look
after
papers
;
whom
we
asked
,
whether
he
came
to
make
sport
,
who
said
,
yes
,
and
stood
mocking
us
,
saying
,
yea
,
yea
.
And
being
unsatisfied
,
seeing
their
disorder
,
we
pressed
to
know
their
authority
,
and
they
told
us
at
length
,
that
Major
Ceely
had
sent
them
:
So
all
may
see
here
,
what
the
sound
doctrine
is
,
and
the
example
of
a
good
conversation
,
that
Peter
Ceely
hath
to
win
others
to
be
of
his
Religion
,
and
what
are
the
weapons
he
useth
to
defend
his
Religion
.
Now
,
Friends
,
you
who
are
in
place
to
ease
the
heavy
burthens
,
and
to
take
off
every
yoke
,
and
to
let
the
oppressed
go
free
,
and
to
restrain
the
rage
of
them
who
smite
with
the
fist
of
wickedness
;
We
lay
these
things
upon
you
,
for
you
to
do
us
justice
,
that
we
may
not
be
made
a
prey
upon
by
men
in
their
wills
,
and
that
the
cause
for
which
we
are
kept
in
restraint
,
and
for
which
we
at
present
suffer
thus
,
may
come
to
a
hearing
,
according
to
the
right
and
liberty
of
Englishmen
,
which
is
after
your
own
Law
,
and
not
for
any
one
man
to
be
the
Accuser
,
Judge
,
and
Condemner
all
at
once
,
contrary
to
Law
.
From
them
who
are
now
Prisoners
for
the
Truth
,
that
stand
Witnesses
for
the
righteous
God
,
against
all
deceit
,
ungodliness
,
and
unrighteousness
of
man
whatsoever
.
W.
Salt
.
Joseph
Coale
.
On
that
day
,
being
the
last
day
of
their
Sessions
,
were
they
called
into
the
Court
,
Colonel
Bennet
sitting
Judge
,
(
who
sent
his
man
to
the
Goaler
,
as
they
were
coming
into
the
Court
,
to
bid
the
Goaler
take
off
their
hats
.
)
Being
brought
before
the
Bench
,
no
Accuser
came
against
them
,
nor
Accusation
,
nor
was
any
thing
found
against
them
,
nor
did
P.
Ceely
their
Persecutor
,
who
had
imprisoned
them
,
appear
,
being
(
as
was
said
)
on
his
departure
out
of
Town
.
Nevertheless
Colonel
Bennet
caused
their
Warrants
of
Commitment
to
be
read
,
and
sought
to
pick
what
he
could
out
of
them
against
the
Prisoners
;
who
called
for
their
Accusers
,
but
none
appeared
;
and
asked
W.
Salt
what
he
had
to
say
to
this
,
and
what
he
had
to
say
to
the
other
thing
contained
in
the
Warrant
:
He
told
him
,
he
denyed
it
all
,
and
that
there
was
not
one
true
thing
in
it
.
Which
was
so
manifest
,
that
even
Justice
Lance
confessed
openly
in
the
Court
,
when
he
had
heard
that
their
service
was
over
at
the
Steeple-house
,
before
W.
Salt
spake
,
and
that
W.
Salt
was
invited
into
the
Congregation
,
that
he
did
believe
he
had
no
intention
to
disturb
them
.
The
Prisoners
,
after
all
that
was
or
could
be
said
against
them
,
appearing
innocent
men
,
having
neither
Accuser
produced
against
them
,
nor
any
thing
mentioned
in
the
Warrants
of
their
commitment
made
to
stick
on
them
,
or
any
other
transgression
of
the
Law
,
might
well
have
expected
to
have
been
set
at
liberty
,
as
is
the
Law
,
especially
Colonel
Bennet
being
Judge
of
the
Court
,
who
had
dis-owned
their
former
sufferings
,
and
seemed
very
sensible
thereof
,
and
endeavoured
to
make
General
Disborow
the
same
,
and
had
appeared
in
the
behalf
of
their
liberty
;
by
whose
hand
,
and
Captain
Braddons
,
they
,
with
the
rest
of
them
their
fellow-prisoners
,
were
enlarged
,
without
promise
,
or
engagement
,
let
pass
,
or
fees
,
or
any
other
condition
whatsoever
,
who
had
appeared
so
much
for
the
liberties
of
the
Nation
throughout
the
Wars
,
and
been
in
Arms
for
it
;
who
pretended
so
much
to
liberty
of
Conscience
,
and
professed
that
which
for
it
had
suffered
persecution
;
who
pretended
an
expectation
and
belief
of
Christs
sudden
coming
on
earth
,
to
sit
on
the
Throne
of
Judgement
,
executing
justice
,
and
doing
righteousness
:
But
contrariwise
,
he
was
the
man
,
who
seeing
their
innocency
,
and
knowing
that
for
very
envy
they
were
cast
into
bonds
,
and
delivered
to
him
,
nevertheless
said
,
That
for
satisfaction
of
the
Countrey
,
and
because
the
times
were
dangerous
,
they
must
do
their
duty
;
and
so
proposed
to
them
a
question
,
which
unless
they
would
answer
yea
or
nay
to
,
he
(
who
had
known
the
passages
aforesaid
of
the
proposition
of
liberty
,
if
they
would
promise
to
go
to
their
homes
,
if
the
Lord
permit
,
and
the
answers
thereunto
,
and
the
papers
sent
particularly
to
him
thereabouts
,
and
his
reasoning
with
them
concerning
it
,
and
their
opening
to
him
the
ground
of
their
not
so
doing
,
and
how
that
in
conscience
they
could
not
do
it
;
and
if
they
kept
them
seven
years
,
the
same
men
they
should
finde
them
at
the
end
thereof
,
and
after
all
freeing
them
,
saying
,
God
forbid
they
should
press
them
to
any
thing
which
was
against
their
conscience
,
as
hath
been
mentioned
)
even
Colonel
Bennet
said
they
must
restrain
them
,
unless
they
would
answer
yea
or
nay
to
that
question
.
A.
To
which
they
answered
,
We
are
peaceable
men
,
and
seek
the
peace
of
all
men
;
when
the
Law
is
broken
,
ye
may
inflict
the
penalty
.
But
to
a
more
positive
answer
they
were
pressed
,
and
therein
Colonel
Bennet
was
more
forward
than
the
rest
;
and
had
away
they
were
,
and
bid
to
consider
it
.
Being
called
in
again
,
Colonel
Bennet
seeing
them
coming
with
their
Hats
on
,
called
out
,
Why
do
you
let
these
men
come
in
with
their
Hats
on
?
And
demanded
of
them
,
whether
they
would
answer
yea
or
nay
to
the
question
.
W.
Salt
asked
him
,
whether
according
to
their
own
Law
they
were
not
to
be
freed
by
proclamation
,
seeing
there
was
none
found
to
accuse
them
;
and
whether
they
had
kept
them
in
Prison
to
bring
them
forth
to
put
an
engagement
upon
them
:
but
nothing
of
that
he
would
hear
.
And
W.
Salt
,
after
the
Court
had
read
,
and
heard
what
they
had
against
them
,
desired
Colonel
Bennet
to
hear
him
reade
what
he
had
in
answer
to
P.
Ceelyes
Warrant
by
which
he
was
committed
;
and
a
Letter
,
which
he
had
prepared
for
the
Court
,
of
the
abuses
he
had
sustained
by
the
Goaler
,
and
in
Bodmin
since
they
came
in
thither
,
These
papers
Collonel
Bennet
called
for
from
him
,
and
instead
of
reading
them
in
open
Court
,
put
them
up
in
h●s
Pocket
,
(
as
Thomas
Gewen
the
Sessions
before
at
Truro
,
did
the
Representation
then
given
him
,
of
them
and
the
rest
of
their
then
fellow
prisoners
cruell
sufferings
by
the
Gaoler
)
saying
he
thought
they
had
a
fair
hearing
,
and
bid
the
Gaoler
take
them
away
.
The
prisoners
called
upon
him
to
consider
and
weigh
things
,
but
he
rose
up
out
of
the
Court
;
and
went
his
way
,
without
causing
the
papers
to
be
read
,
one
of
which
was
as
followeth
.
For
the
Shiriff
,
and
Justices
of
the
County
of
Cornwall
,
who
are
in
place
to
do
Justice
,
At
their
Session
in
Bodmin
.
FRIENDS
,
NOtwithstanding
by
order
of
the
Generall
my self
and
other
my
fellow
prisoners
were
enlarged
by
the
Justice
,
yet
P.
Ceely
hath
me
again
sent
to
prison
;
I
having
been
with
him
to
demand
a
Book
against
Popery
,
and
other
good
notes
and
Books
he
took
away
from
me
and
my
friends
,
when
he
first
apprehended
us
;
and
being
on
my
way
five
miles
on
th●●
side
Ives
,
travelling
Eastward
,
intended
to
have
gone
along
with
my
friends
out
of
the
Country
,
and
staying
there
,
it
being
the
first
day
of
the
week
,
P.
Ceely
meeting
me
and
others
with
him
,
urged
me
much
to
come
to
their
assembly
,
and
said
I
might
come
and
hear
,
and
then
judge
,
afterwards
being
moved
of
the
Lord
I
went
,
and
they
having
all
done
,
I
told
them
I
came
not
there
to
disturbe
them
,
but
seeing
they
had
done
speaking
,
I
had
a
few
words
to
speak
unto
them
,
and
this
was
according
to
P.
Ceelyes
words
,
who
said
I
might
hear
and
then
judge
,
who
presently
bid
the
Constable
take
him
away
,
and
so
went
his
way
to
make
a
Warrant
,
and
without
any
further
examination
sent
me
to
prison
,
as
the
enclosed
herewith
sent
doth
more
fully
express
:
And
since
I
came
to
Lanceston
,
the
same
Gaoler
of
whose
miscarriages
you
have
formerly
heard
,
indeavoured
to
make
a
prey
upon
me
,
when
I
was
delivered
up
to
them
,
of
their
own
accord
,
being
placed
at
a
private
house
,
the
Gaoler
came
some
few
days
after
,
and
took
me
out
thence
,
and
put
me
into
a
victualling
house
,
where
he
said
he
would
confine
me
,
telling
abroad
that
he
had
agreed
with
the
man
of
the
house
to
give
ten
shillings
a
week
for
a
Chamber
for
me
;
and
reported
that
it
should
cost
me
above
forty
pound
before
I
came
out
of
prison
,
For
when
we
had
been
among
his
Companions
,
as
his
manner
is
tipling
and
drinking
,
it
seems
then
I
was
bought
and
sold
for
mony
,
so
to
me
he
came
in
his
authority
full
of
Beer
,
to
command
me
to
go
to
such
a
place
where
he
would
put
me
,
having
given
out
that
if
I
did
not
like
the
place
where
he
would
put
me
,
then
I
should
into
Domesdale
;
So
,
whether
this
fellow
be
at
his
own
pleasure
to
put
me
into
Domesdale
,
or
is
allowed
to
make
a
prey
upon
me
,
I
shall
leave
with
you
,
who
are
in
place
of
authoritie
to
redress
such
things
,
and
to
judge
;
And
asking
the
Gaoler
,
whether
I
might
not
be
heard
at
the
Sessions
,
seeing
I
was
not
committed
for
the
breach
of
any
Law
,
who
said
he
would
not
carry
me
thither
,
for
I
was
to
be
delivhred
by
due
course
of
Law
,
which
he
said
was
meant
the
Assizes
;
Now
I
understood
that
what
is
done
by
your
Court
,
is
done
by
due
course
of
Law
,
where
pettie
larcenie
and
such
like
causes
are
heard
and
determined
;
and
may
not
that
which
is
under
petty
larceny
,
and
less
then
that
,
be
heard
also
by
you
,
but
must
be
referred
to
the
Judge
,
of
Assize
?
When
as
it
is
not
criminall
matter
or
wrong
done
to
any
one
,
that
they
have
to
charge
against
me
,
nor
for
acting
contrary
to
the
Law
of
the
Nation
,
but
onely
questionings
about
words
,
P.
Ceely
saying
I
reviled
,
when
he
sets
not
down
what
the
revilings
were
,
and
to
speak
truth
to
any
man
is
not
reviling
,
and
that
I
stood
Irreverently
as
he
saith
with
my
Hat
on
,
when
although
my
Hat
was
on
,
I
stood
reverently
and
in
the
fear
of
the
Lord
God
,
who
is
my
witness
,
all
that
time
:
But
if
I
be
an
offender
,
or
have
committed
any
thing
worthy
of
bonds
or
Imprisonment
,
I
refuse
not
to
suffer
,
making
it
appear
to
be
according
to
Law
and
justice
,
but
if
there
be
none
of
these
things
whereof
I
am
accused
can
he
proved
against
me
,
I
desire
according
to
the
Law
I
may
be
quitted
,
and
n●●
be
kept
in
durance
,
as
I
have
been
formerly
,
by
the
same
man
who
with
my
other
friends
stood
untill
the
Assizes
,
and
when
the
Assizes
came
nothing
was
brought
forth
against
me
,
nor
my
fellow
prisoners
,
for
which
we
were
committed
to
prison
,
and
there
had
lain
severall
weeks
,
as
if
we
had
been
sent
to
prison
onely
to
find
some
new
matter
whereof
to
accuse
us
:
how
agreeable
this
is
to
the
rights
or
liberties
of
English
men
,
to
ast
thus
one
towards
another
,
or
whether
this
be
Christianlike
,
I
leave
to
them
who
are
come
out
of
the
rashness
,
hardness
,
and
perversness
into
the
sobrietie
,
reasonableness
,
and
moderation
to
judge
,
and
how
contrary
this
is
to
the
proceedings
of
former
ages
,
I
can
produce
some
instances
of
Scripture
even
of
those
whom
the
true
God
knew
not
,
neither
did
they
profess
themselves
to
be
Christians
,
Claudius
Lysias
a
Romane
Captain
,
having
rescued
Paul
the
Lords
Prisoner
,
who
contrary
to
the
Law
was
abused
by
the
rude
multitude
,
him
he
therefore
sent
to
Felix
,
that
according
to
the
Law
he
might
be
judged
,
and
gave
Commandement
also
to
his
accusers
,
to
say
before
him
what
they
had
to
say
against
him
;
and
whether
was
not
Lycias
more
courteous
to
Paul
,
and
pitifull
to
preserve
him
,
that
bid
make
ready
so
many
Souldiers
,
and
beasts
to
set
Paul
on
,
to
bring
him
safe
to
whom
he
sent
him
,
then
P.
Ceely
was
to
me
,
who
bid
the
Constable
,
if
I
had
not
money
,
take
my
beast
and
sell
him
?
Did
not
Lysias
outstrip
him
here
that
calls
himself
a
Christian
,
who
would
not
do
any
thing
dishonourable
as
he
was
a
Roman
,
who
preserved
Paul
from
the
men
that
laid
wait
for
him
,
when
as
it
hath
appeared
P.
Ceely
layd
wait
himself
for
me
,
bringing
me
into
a
snare
,
inviting
me
to
come
to
his
assembly
,
and
there
hear
and
then
judge
,
and
when
I
came
and
there
spake
,
sent
me
to
prison
:
And
when
Paul
was
brought
to
Felix
the
Governour
,
to
whom
Lisias
had
sent
him
,
he
was
not
put
presently
into
Doomesdale
,
or
some
other
nastie
stinking
hole
among
other
prisoners
,
but
untill
his
accusers
came
was
kept
in
Herods
judgement
hall
;
and
afterwards
the
Governour
commanded
a
Centurion
to
keep
Paul
,
and
to
let
him
have
his
libertie
,
and
that
he
should
forbid
none
of
his
acquaintance
to
minister
or
come
unto
him
;
he
did
not
set
such
over
him
,
that
threatned
if
he
did
not
pay
for
his
liberty
,
he
would
double
Iron
him
,
or
put
him
into
the
bottome
of
the
pit
,
or
chain
him
to
a
post
,
and
arrest
such
as
came
to
get
provisions
to
him
,
and
sue
him
at
the
Law
to
get
damages
against
him
;
and
Felix
went
further
than
this
,
when
the
Jews
had
gotten
an
Orator
to
plead
for
them
,
who
having
forged
many
things
against
him
,
which
they
could
not
prove
,
beckned
to
Paul
for
him
to
make
answer
,
who
spake
to
some
things
,
and
told
the
Governour
such
and
such
ought
to
have
been
there
,
for
proof
of
what
they
had
against
him
,
which
when
Felix
had
heard
,
he
deferred
to
give
judgement
against
Paul
;
notwithstanding
the
high
Priests
and
Elders
from
Jerusalem
came
thither
,
deferring
the
business
till
Lisius
,
that
sent
Paul
thither
,
came
down
,
that
he
might
hear
the
uttermost
of
the
malice
:
yet
these
men
that
acted
this
were
such
,
that
our
professors
in
England
call
Heathen
,
but
such
now
as
call
themselves
Iews
,
and
rest
in
their
forms
,
and
outward
observations
,
making
their
boast
of
God
,
and
the
Scripture
,
to
them
I
shall
mention
the
Apostles
question
,
and
leave
it
with
them
to
answer
;
If
the
uncircumcision
keep
the
righteousness
of
the
Law
,
shall
not
his
uncircumcision
be
counted
to
him
for
circumcision
,
and
shall
not
circumcision
,
which
is
by
nature
,
if
it
fulfill
the
Law
,
judge
thee
,
who
by
the
Letter
and
Circumcision
doest
transgress
the
Law
?
Afterwards
.
Festus
another
Roman
Governour
came
into
Felix
room
who
likewise
intreated
Paul
nobly
,
notwithstanding
he
was
esteemed
of
that
sect
,
which
was
every
where
spoken
against
,
whom
he
called
noble
Festus
,
not
because
he
had
finer
cloaths
on
him
than
other
men
,
and
sate
in
a
seat
above
them
,
for
such
was
Herod
the
persecutor
,
whom
the
Angell
of
the
Lord
smote
,
notwithstanding
he
had
so
much
eloquence
to
be
admired
at
for
his
oration
;
but
because
the
high
Priest
and
chief
of
the
Iews
,
whom
he
did
not
so
much
respect
because
of
their
greatness
,
nor
scorn
and
despise
the
prisoner
,
who
was
but
one
,
and
had
so
many
enemies
to
encounter
withall
,
all
which
did
not
swerve
him
,
nor
turn
him
aside
from
doing
justice
,
though
the
Priests
and
chief
of
the
Iews
besought
him
and
desired
favour
against
Paul
the
prisoner
that
was
in
bonds
,
but
all
the
chief
Priests
greatness
,
nor
the
rest
would
not
take
place
with
him
,
to
make
him
partiall
,
or
respect
persons
in
judgement
,
but
he
told
them
whether
he
should
send
Paul
,
where
himself
should
be
shortly
,
where
any
that
were
able
to
accuse
him
of
any
wickedness
might
go
with
him
;
Marke
,
accuse
him
of
any
wickedness
,
not
at
all
granting
the
high
Priest
,
and
chief
of
the
Iews
desire
to
send
him
to
Ierusalem
,
who
thought
thereby
to
have
had
their
purpose
against
him
,
either
to
have
killed
him
in
the
way
,
or
to
have
brought
him
within
their
own
jurisdiction
,
where
themselves
,
that
were
his
accusers
,
might
have
sate
as
Iudges
upon
him
and
so
have
dispatcht
him
quickly
,
having
aspersed
him
sufficiently
,
before
the
former
Governour
Felix
;
yet
all
this
took
not
place
with
Festus
,
though
the
Jews
laid
many
and
grievous
complaints
against
Paul
,
which
they
could
not
prove
,
yet
him
he
heard
patiently
,
and
this
is
the
noble
spirit
,
wheresoever
it
appears
,
that
Paul
did
see
to
be
in
Festus
,
and
notwithstanding
the
Iews
laboured
so
much
to
render
him
odious
,
yet
he
minded
the
doing
justice
,
having
not
so
much
as
an
ear
open
,
to
what
the
Priests
or
the
chief
of
the
Iews
could
suggest
unto
him
,
and
afterwards
brought
him
out
before
Agripa
and
Bernice
to
whom
he
declared
Pauls
case
,
giving
him
an
account
of
the
passages
,
him
,
that
sate
before
in
judgement
on
him
,
telling
how
the
chief
Priests
and
Elders
of
the
Iews
had
informed
against
Paul
,
desiring
to
have
had
judgement
against
him
,
which
he
assented
not
to
,
pleading
being
a
Roman
(
he
did
not
say
a
Christian
,
it
was
not
their
manner
to
deliver
up
a
man
,
or
give
judgement
against
him
,
before
he
that
was
accused
,
had
his
accusers
face
to
face
,
and
had
licence
to
answer
for
himself
,
concerning
the
crimes
layd
against
him
,
and
when
he
saw
that
Pauls
accusers
(
though
his
accusations
were
many
and
grievous
)
brought
no
accusation
of
such
thing
as
he
supposed
,
not
being
satisfied
to
bring
the
matter
to
an
Issue
,
he
leaves
Paul
to
his
choice
to
go
to
another
,
to
whom
he
had
appealed
,
that
was
in
authoritie
above
him
,
and
least
he
should
wrong
the
Prisoner
in
laying
any
thing
to
his
charge
he
had
not
done
,
for
this
cause
he
would
have
Agripa
to
hear
him
,
telling
that
to
him
it
did
seem
unreasonable
to
send
a
prisoner
,
and
not
withall
to
signifie
the
crime
laid
against
him
,
whom
Agrippa
slighted
not
,
nor
did
not
scorne
,
as
looking
upon
himself
above
it
,
but
desired
to
hear
him
,
and
when
he
was
brought
out
into
the
place
of
hearing
,
there
Festus
again
spake
in
his
behalf
(
which
may
be
exemplary
to
those
who
sit
Judges
in
Courts
,
and
are
of
Councell
for
the
Prisoner
,
to
deale
impartially
,
and
not
themselves
to
be
false
accusers
)
saying
,
King
Agrippa
,
and
all
men
here
present
with
us
,
you
see
this
man
about
whom
all
the
multitude
of
the
Jews
have
dealt
with
me
about
,
both
at
Jerusalem
and
here
also
,
crying
,
that
he
ought
not
to
live
any
longer
,
but
when
I
found
that
he
had
committed
nothing
worthy
of
death
,
and
that
he
himself
had
appealed
to
Augustus
,
I
have
determined
to
send
him
,
of
whom
I
have
no
certain
matter
to
write
,
&c.
whom
when
Agrippa
had
heard
,
he
saw
so
little
against
him
,
that
he
declared
openly
,
that
almost
he
had
perswaded
him
to
be
a
Christian
,
and
when
they
were
gon
aside
,
he
told
Festus
he
might
have
set
him
at
liberty
,
if
he
had
not
appealed
unto
Cesar
.
Now
these
men
came
not
with
prejudice
and
enmity
lodging
in
their
minds
,
they
did
not
say
they
would
warrant
he
should
lye
long
enough
in
prison
,
to
adde
affliction
to
his
bonds
,
because
he
was
not
one
of
that
sect
that
every
where
was
spoken
against
,
but
laboured
to
do
him
right
,
not
to
wrong
him
,
to
hear
both
sides
,
and
then
themselves
to
judge
what
they
had
heard
,
declaring
boldly
and
nakedly
like
men
of
courage
,
notwithstanding
the
high
Priests
and
chief
of
the
people
)
their
thoughts
concerning
him
,
not
passing
▪
judgement
,
or
entertaining
prejudice
because
of
the
report
they
had
heard
of
him
,
and
this
was
manly
and
of
a
good
report
,
to
keep
themselves
clear
;
And
when
he
came
to
Rome
,
they
d●d
not
put
him
into
the
Common
Gaole
among
other
Prisoners
,
or
commit
him
to
a
man
to
make
a
prey
upon
him
,
to
put
him
where
he
should
spend
most
mony
;
or
else
be
put
into
Doomesale
,
but
when
the
Centurion
delivered
up
his
Prisoners
to
the
Captaine
of
the
guard
,
Paul
was
suffered
to
dwell
by
himself
,
he
dwelt
two
years
in
his
own
hired
house
,
and
received
all
that
came
in
unto
him
,
preaching
the
kingdom
,
and
teaching
those
things
which
concerne
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ
,
withall
confidence
,
no
man
forbidding
him
;
Now
we
do
not
read
that
liberty
of
Conscience
was
one
of
the
Fundamentalls
of
the
Roman
Gevernment
,
yet
they
suffered
it
;
none
not
so
much
forbidding
any
to
come
to
the
Apostle
,
which
was
far
from
making
laws
against
them
that
visit
prisoners
,
men
for
visiting
their
friends
to
be
taken
up
and
put
in
prison
for
it
:
Again
,
you
that
be
men
in
authority
to
do
justice
between
man
and
man
,
and
to
execute
the
Laws
,
this
would
I
know
of
you
,
whether
a
law
once
made
and
afterwards
repealed
,
be
again
of
any
force
yea
or
nay
?
or
whether
the
priviledges
of
the
law
extend
to
any
but
those
whom
the
law
qualifies
thereunto
,
and
makes
capable
thereof
?
whether
then
by
the
Act
of
1.
Eliz.
Cap.
2.
last
clause
,
that
of
the
1.
of
Mary
be
not
repealed
,
which
saith
,
all
Laws
,
Statutes
,
and
Ordinances
,
wherein
or
whereby
any
other
services
,
administration
of
Sacraments
,
or
Common
Prayer
,
is
limited
,
established
,
or
set
forth
to
be
used
,
&c.
shall
be
henceforth
void
and
of
none
effect
?
and
that
of
the
1.
of
Mary
is
for
the
establishing
of
the
Mass
and
all
Popish
services
:
and
whether
Nicholas
Hide
when
chief
Justice
of
England
,
gave
not
his
judgement
that
it
was
wholly
repealed
?
And
if
Queen
Maries
law
be
repealed
,
what
Priests
are
they
that
flye
for
refuge
to
it
,
to
uphold
their
Ministry
now
?
Or
is
it
reasonable
to
put
men
in
prison
,
as
many
have
been
,
and
some
are
,
and
there
be
kept
when
they
have
nothing
to
plead
for
their
so
doing
but
that
law
?
And
whether
the
Priests
now
claiming
the
priviledge
of
Queen
Maries
law
,
made
for
the
defence
of
the
Jesuits
and
Priests
in
the
excercise
of
the
Popish
and
Idolatrous
worship
and
services
,
against
the
servants
of
the
Lord
many
of
which
then
suffered
Imprisonment
,
and
some
in
flames
of
fire
,
for
witnessing
against
them
then
,
do
not
manifestly
declare
themselves
to
be
no
Ministers
of
Jesus
Christ
?
And
whether
these
are
otherwise
to
be
accounted
of
then
such
by
which
that
law
was
made
,
that
flye
to
it
to
guard
them
?
If
the
whole
body
of
Popery
be
removed
,
whether
then
that
law
be
not
also
null
and
void
,
seeing
the
effect
ceaseth
with
the
cause
?
whether
he
that
hath
the
law
hath
not
the
supremacie
,
and
so
whether
he
that
hath
the
Popish
Law
to
guard
him
,
have
not
the
supremacie
of
the
Pope
to
guard
him
?
And
why
is
not
the
oath
of
abjuration
to
be
tendred
to
such
Priests
,
if
the
intent
of
it
be
to
extirpate
Popery
rather
than
unto
them
who
have
both
declared
and
writ
against
Popery
publickly
,
and
all
them
that
are
in
the
likenesses
,
imitations
,
and
traditionall
invention●
,
out
of
the
power
of
God
?
So
you
all
being
kept
in
the
dread
and
fear
of
the
Lord
God
,
no
unjust
thing
will
proceed
from
you
,
your
hearts
will
be
tender
,
there
will
be
a
loving
of
mercy
,
and
doing
of
justice
both
,
and
here
you
come
to
answer
the
end
of
Magistracie
,
a
terror
to
the
evill
doer
,
and
a
pra
se
to
them
that
do
well
,
rightly
qualified
,
men
fearing
God
,
ruling
others
in
the
fear
of
God
men
of
truth
to
find
out
the
truth
,
and
judge
down
the
deceit
,
not
covetous
,
nor
given
to
filthy
lucre
,
for
that
blinds
the
eye
of
the
wise
;
such
were
them
that
were
Judges
at
the
first
,
and
Councellors
at
the
beginning
,
and
when
the
dross
is
taken
away
such
shall
be
restored
again
,
according
as
the
Lord
hath
promised
;
Now
ye
all
coming
to
the
light
,
by
it
to
be
led
which
comes
from
Christ
the
light
of
the
world
,
who
enlighteth
every
man
that
cometh
into
the
world
,
who
was
given
for
a
witness
to
the
people
,
a
leader
and
commander
to
the
people
,
the
light
which
you
have
received
from
him
,
you
following
and
obeying
it
,
you
come
under
his
command
and
leading
,
this
will
bring
you
to
s●e
the
foundation
of
many
generations
raised
up
and
here
the
restauration
will
come
to
be
witnessed
,
for
the
law
of
the
Lord
restoreth
the
soul
,
and
the
law
is
light
;
he
that
hath
an
ear
to
hear
let
him
hear
.
From
one
who
is
a
lover
of
all
souls
,
truth
,
righteousness
,
and
peace
,
who
waits
for
the
establishing
of
it
,
and
against
all
injustice
,
cruelty
,
envy
,
and
oppression
,
now
stands
a
witness
in
outward
bonds
.

The
next
morning
the
Prisoners
wro
e
to
Collonel
Bennet
,
concerning
his
proceedings
with
them
,
and
sent
it
to
him
before
he
was
departed
the
town
as
followeth
.
Bodmin
the
thirtieth
day
of
the
eighth
Month
1656.
Friend
,
THou
hast
denyed
to
hear
my
papers
in
open
Court
,
(
as
thou
didst
those
that
were
against
us
)
either
concerning
the
wrong
I
sustained
from
P.
Ceely
,
or
the
Gaoler
,
or
the
abuses
we
received
from
those
whom
P.
Ceely
sent
,
since
we
came
into
this
town
,
so
that
we
are
on
all
sides
wronged
,
and
none
we
have
found
hath
the
courage
,
or
that
will
appeare
to
right
us
;
instead
of
righting
us
,
thou
thy self
hast
proposed
a
question
to
us
,
which
unlesse
we
answer
yea
,
or
nay
,
thou
saist
we
again
must
go
to
prison
;
but
what
sattisfaction
or
redresse
is
there
made
us
for
being
wronged
?
we
gave
a
cleare
and
full
answer
in
the
Court
to
the
satisfaction
of
all
,
forasmuch
as
we
could
perceive
,
besides
thy self
in
the
Court
;
and
when
we
had
spoken
the
words
,
thou
thy self
hadst
little
to
except
,
onely
didst
say
it
was
somewhat
darkely
,
as
was
thy
own
expression
,
yet
thou
denyedst
our
friend
,
Humphery
Lower
,
to
let
us
have
our
libertie
,
unless
we
would
make
a
promise
;
Now
promises
or
engagements
we
do
utterly
deny
to
make
to
any
man
whatsoever
,
neither
can
we
enter
into
engagements
with
any
man
;
for
we
are
come
to
him
who
is
the
Covenant
,
to
Jesus
Christ
the
light
of
the
World
,
who
was
given
for
a
Covenant
to
the
people
,
a
Light
to
the
Gentiles
;
So
that
Covenants
with
Death
we
cannot
make
,
neither
are
we
at
an
agreement
with
it
,
nor
have
we
fellowship
with
the
dead
and
unfruitfull
workes
of
darkness
,
but
are
bid
to
reprove
them
;
for
that
peace
which
the
world
lives
in
,
we
cannot
have
unity
with
,
that
live
in
the
earthly
mind
,
in
the
subtilty
,
in
the
deceipt
,
out
of
the
simplicity
that
is
in
Christ
;
for
that
is
corrupt
,
who
are
Enemies
to
the
Cross
of
Christ
,
whose
God
is
their
belly
,
whose
glory
is
their
shame
,
who
mind
earthly
things
;
and
the
peace
we
seek
of
all
,
that
they
may
be
brought
to
the
light
,
to
Christ
the
King
of
Righteousness
,
the
King
of
Peace
,
out
of
all
the
unrighteousness
;
Peace
we
wish
unto
all
▪
and
are
indeavouring
to
bring
men
out
of
the
strife
,
out
of
the
contention
,
unto
the
light
,
and
so
to
Christ
,
from
under
the
power
of
the
Magistrates
sword
,
that
in
him
they
may
finde
rest
to
their
souls
;
but
peace
with
them
;
who
are
out
of
the
Covenant
of
God
,
we
cannot
preach
,
nor
we
cannot
with
them
make
;
for
that
were
the
way
to
bring
us
out
of
the
Covenant
with
Christ
,
who
is
our
light
and
life
,
into
covenant
with
man
,
who
is
in
the
strife
,
in
the
lust
,
in
the
envy
,
out
of
Gods
Covenant
.
Israel
in
Covenant
with
God
were
out
of
Covenant
with
other
Nations
,
who
were
Strangers
to
this
Covenant
.
There
was
a
time
when
we
were
Strangers
from
the
Covenant
of
promise
,
and
without
God
in
the
world
,
and
then
it
was
a
light
thing
for
us
to
say
or
unsay
:
but
now
we
dare
not
do
it
,
for
Condemnation
will
take
hold
upon
the
Transgressor
;
and
mens
wills
we
seek
not
to
do
,
but
the
will
of
him
who
hath
called
us
out
of
darkness
into
light
,
by
which
the
very
appearance
of
evil
is
denyed
by
us
.
Josuah
,
through
the
wiles
of
the
Gibeonites
,
was
led
into
a
snare
;
and
we
see
it
clearly
,
this
thing
will
be
a
snare
unto
us
;
for
two
or
three
have
been
already
with
us
,
wilde
,
heady
,
rash
fellows
,
who
would
quickly
signifie
,
once
we
declaring
against
them
,
that
we
had
broken
their
peace
,
which
is
but
the
peace
of
the
wicked
;
and
such
a
thing
would
easily
swear
,
that
we
were
disturbers
of
the
peace
,
for
reproving
iniquity
,
and
so
thereby
make
our selves
their
prey
;
Which
we
lay
upon
thee
seriously
to
consider
and
weigh
;
and
whether
to
accomplish
this
thing
,
be
the
way
to
do
us
justice
.
W.
S.
J.
C.
Notwithstanding
he
did
nothing
as
to
their
liberty
;
but
the
two
Goalers
,
Coales
and
Squire
,
he
sent
to
them
,
as
he
had
often
before
,
to
have
their
answer
to
his
question
,
yea
or
nay
;
and
the
said
Squire
said
,
he
would
warrant
he
would
make
them
promise
:
He
told
him
,
(
as
it
is
said
)
if
he
did
,
he
should
be
a
brave
fellow
.
But
when
Squire
saw
he
could
prevail
nothing
with
the
Prisoners
,
though
he
was
with
them
many
times
,
he
tendred
himself
to
be
Surety
for
them
,
and
said
he
would
get
another
to
be
Surety
with
him
:
but
that
they
denyed
,
and
sent
to
him
to
have
nothing
to
do
with
that
accursed
thing
,
for
that
they
could
neither
make
promise
,
nor
be
brought
under
bonds
and
engagements
themselves
;
neither
would
they
that
any
should
do
it
for
them
,
and
to
do
so
both
in
word
and
writing
they
denyed
.
And
so
they
were
remanded
to
Lanceston
Prisoners
,
being
thus
returned
in
the
Kalendar
:
William
Salt
,
and
Joseph
Coale
,
for
refusing
to
behave
themselves
peaceably
while
they
be
in
the
Countrey
.
Reply
.
For
those
who
live
and
behave
themselves
peaceably
in
the
Countrey
where
they
be
,
and
both
in
life
and
doctrine
preach
and
press
unto
peace
,
and
to
the
bringing
of
people
out
of
strife
,
and
the
occasion
thereof
,
into
peace
;
who
resist
not
evil
,
but
bear
and
endure
patiently
in
their
bodyes
all
manner
of
abuses
,
and
cruel
usages
,
without
lifting
up
the
voyce
,
or
seeking
deliverance
,
committing
it
to
him
who
judgeth
righteously
,
and
rewardeth
every
man
according
to
his
doings
:
for
such
as
these
to
be
required
to
promise
to
be
peaceable
men
,
and
not
to
disturb
the
Countrey
,
who
of
any
such
thing
were
never
convinced
,
as
they
are
not
guilty
,
but
on
the
contrary
,
as
hath
been
said
.
And
because
such
cannot
in
their
own
,
nor
in
the
time
and
will
of
man
,
promise
what
they
will
do
for
the
future
,
nor
make
engagements
nor
covenants
with
death
,
nor
be
at
agreement
with
hell
,
so
as
not
to
reprove
and
testifie
against
the
deeds
of
darkness
,
(
which
to
reprove
and
testifie
against
in
this
high
professing
age
,
wherein
iniquity
abounds
more
than
hath
been
known
in
former
generations
,
is
accounted
a
disturbing
of
the
peace
,
and
an
unquiet
behaviour
;
for
the
preventing
whereof
,
and
that
Iniquity
may
have
its
swing
,
and
revel
it
without
contradiction
,
are
these
new
engagements
invented
by
the
powers
of
darkness
)
and
for
that
they
cannot
by
making
such
promises
,
wrong
their
innocency
.
To
be
therefore
imprisoned
,
returned
to
Prison
,
who
by
imprisonment
had
so
wrongfully
suffered
,
and
out
of
it
ought
to
have
been
delivered
,
as
is
the
Law
,
and
into
the
hands
of
that
cruel
Goaler
to
be
cast
,
who
made
them
so
to
suffer
,
as
hath
been
aforesaid
,
out
of
whose
cruelty
they
had
been
but
a
little
before
delivered
,
and
to
have
a
manifest
lye
recorded
as
their
offence
,
viz.
for
refusing
to
behave
themselves
peaceably
whil'st
they
be
in
the
Countrey
,
who
neither
had
misbehaved
themselves
unpeaceably
,
nor
refused
peaceably
to
behave
themselves
:
But
to
the
question
answered
,
we
are
peaceable
men
,
and
seek
the
peace
of
all
men
;
where
the
Law
is
broken
,
ye
may
inflict
the
penalty
;
is
so
abominably
unjust
,
cruel
,
and
tyrannical
,
as
those
who
are
called
Heathens
would
have
blush'd
thereat
;
nor
have
the
Records
of
the
former
generations
afforded
of
it
a
parallel
.
Poor
Colonel
Bennet
,
how
is
the
day
of
the
Lord
come
upon
thee
?
How
are
all
thy
coverings
ripped
off
?
Thy
hidden
things
,
how
are
they
searched
out
?
Stripped
how
art
thou
,
and
naked
and
bare
how
hast
thou
made
thy self
?
How
is
thy
Sepulcher
opened
,
and
in
thee
how
is
there
found
the
same
spirit
that
ruleth
in
P.
Ceely
,
T.
Gewen
,
and
the
Goaler
aforesaid
,
even
the
same
spirit
that
ruleth
in
the
children
of
disobedience
,
which
hath
oppressed
and
persecuted
the
seed
of
God
from
the
beginning
?
O
how
art
thou
blinded
,
and
thy
later
end
worse
than
thy
beginning
?
How
hath
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
strove
with
thee
,
and
sought
to
save
thee
from
the
untoward
generation
?
How
hath
he
in
thee
raised
up
his
Witness
to
testifie
in
the
behalf
of
his
innocent
suffering
servants
,
and
to
the
making
of
thee
in
some
sort
serviceable
for
their
deliverance
,
which
now
testifies
against
thee
,
doing
the
same
things
,
and
is
thy
condemnation
?
What
warnings
hast
thou
had
?
What
seekings
to
cover
thee
hath
there
been
,
that
thy
nakedness
might
not
have
appeared
,
and
so
men
might
not
have
not
seen
thy
shame
?
But
thy
heart
hath
been
divided
,
therefore
thou
hast
not
prospered
;
thou
hast
been
unstable
as
water
,
therefore
thou
hast
not
excelled
;
thine
own
shame
hast
thou
brought
forth
,
and
inexcusable
art
thou
,
O
man
,
for
that
thou
hast
done
the
same
things
against
the
Innocent
,
for
which
thou
judgedst
and
reprovedst
others
,
and
didst
the
contrary
,
and
therein
hast
given
sentence
against
thy self
.
Thy
profession
is
at
an
end
;
all
that
thou
hast
done
and
suffered
for
liberty
,
for
liberty
of
Conscience
,
and
the
Nation
,
thou
hast
spilt
upon
the
ground
,
it
riseth
up
in
thy
face
,
and
thee
doth
judge
;
and
amongst
the
oppressers
and
persecuters
art
thou
found
,
even
in
their
spirit
,
whom
thou
hast
fought
against
,
against
whom
God
hath
ordained
his
arrows
.
Turn
thee
to
the
light
,
which
will
shew
thee
what
thou
hast
done
,
and
how
contrary
thy
actions
have
been
each
to
other
,
and
how
thou
art
taken
in
an
evil
snare
,
for
so
hath
the
day
of
the
Lord
been
upon
thee
,
which
he
hath
made
manifest
,
and
brought
the
secret
head
in
the
bottome
of
thy
deceitfull
heart
to
light
,
and
left
thee
to
record
thy
folly
and
shame
to
future
,
generations
.
And
tremble
thou
before
the
Lord
in
this
hour
of
his
righteous
judgements
,
who
searcheth
the
heart
,
and
tryeth
the
reins
,
and
rendreth
to
every
one
according
to
their
deeds
;
and
be
not
as
those
who
will
know
no
shame
,
lest
the
hand
of
the
Lord
be
stretched
forth
to
harden
thee
,
and
cut
thee
off
for
ever
:
And
talk
no
more
of
the
Scriptures
,
nor
of
what
was
the
life
of
the
Saints
,
and
holy
men
of
God
,
nor
of
the
Kingdome
of
Christ
,
nor
of
liberty
,
till
to
that
thou
art
turned
and
ruled
by
,
even
the
light
,
the
life
which
comes
from
Christ
,
which
is
in
Christ
,
unto
which
they
were
turned
,
in
which
they
abode
,
and
by
which
they
were
guided
,
who
oppressed
none
,
nor
persecuted
,
but
were
persecuted
and
oppressed
by
those
in
whom
the
spirit
that
is
in
the
world
ruled
;
who
hast
oppressed
the
innocent
,
and
persecuted
the
same
life
in
these
,
which
ruled
in
the
holy
men
of
God
,
which
life
the
world
ever
persecuted
,
and
put
to
death
the
Son
of
God
,
who
is
the
light
of
the
world
,
the
light
and
life
of
men
,
the
true
light
which
lighteth
every
man
that
cometh
into
the
world
,
who
is
come
to
reign
and
rule
for
ever
,
thousands
in
this
Nation
witness
him
so
to
be
,
eternal
living
praises
be
to
him
for
evermore
,
who
will
destroy
the
Oppressor
,
and
none
shall
hurt
in
his
holy
Mountain
.
Therefore
say
thy
mouth
unto
the
dust
,
and
be
thou
ashamed
,
yea
,
be
thou
confounded
,
and
turn
to
him
against
whom
thou
hast
kicked
,
if
so
be
there
may
be
hope
,
and
a
healing
of
thine
errour
:
then
thou
wilt
see
love
in
this
,
and
contentedly
wilt
thou
bear
the
shame
of
thine
iniquity
;
and
the
unworthiest
of
all
,
yea
one
not
worthy
to
be
counted
a
Saint
,
wilt
thou
then
reckon
thy self
to
be
,
because
thou
hast
persecuted
the
Church
of
God
.
In
love
unto
thy
soul
are
these
things
wrote
,
and
a
warning
from
the
Lord
God
is
this
unto
thee
,
and
his
voyce
is
unto
thee
to
turn
at
his
reproof
,
and
to
thee
his
visitation
of
love
it
is
:
therefore
minde
and
consider
;
which
if
thou
do
not
,
a
witness
for
the
Lord
God
shall
I
be
eternally
against
thee
:
and
if
thou
thinkest
these
things
too
hard
,
look
into
thy
actions
,
and
now
in
the
cool
of
the
the
day
,
and
with
the
light
of
Jesus
Christ
search
thy self
,
and
with
it
do
thou
,
and
let
all
that
are
sober
,
see
,
and
judge
,
whether
it
be
any
more
than
the
reward
of
thine
own
hands
which
is
given
thee
,
right
measure
,
and
just
weight
,
which
every
one
must
receive
at
the
hands
of
the
Lord
.
And
if
thou
hast
yet
to
say
wherefore
am
I
made
publick
?
Thou
hast
spread
the
tent
of
thy
iniquity
upon
the
house
top
,
and
committed
thy
lewdness
before
the
Sun
,
on
the
Seat
of
Judgement
,
there
hast
thou
done
unrighteously
,
and
oppressed
the
Innocent
,
whom
thou
hadst
helped
,
who
now
had
no
helper
;
and
therefore
openly
art
thou
reproved
,
who
hast
sinned
openly
,
who
also
hast
had
many
private
admonitions
.
And
constrained
hast
thou
this
Relation
to
end
with
thee
,
which
began
with
P.
Ceely
,
and
would
have
ended
with
him
,
but
that
thou
hast
put
to
thy
shoulder
,
which
is
a
lamentation
.

of

Lord
to
speak
to
the
Mayor

taking
Margery
Dier
,
of
the

Town
with
her
,
she
went
to
the
Mayors
house
(
whose
name
is
Christopher
Ceely
)
of
whose
being
within
having
understood
by
the
officer
that
waited
at
the
door
,
she
sent
in
to
the
Mayor
that
she
desired
to
speak
with
him
;
after
a
little
time
,
the
Mayor
came
to
her
to
the
door
,
she
told
him
she
had
a
word
from
the
Lord
to
speak
to
him
,
he
bad
her
come
in
,
and
so
she
declared
to
him
what
she
had
to
speak
from
the
Lord
.
He
confessed
it
was
very
good
,
and
truth
,
but
commanded
the
Constable
,
which
he
had
sent
for
,
to
carry
her
to
prison
;
her
friend
demanded
what
transgression
she
had
committed

no

he
made

to

and
the

(

stirred
up
and
carried
on
that
persecution
)
came
to
examine
her
,
and
demanded
her
name
,
and
the
place
from
whence
she
came
:
both
which
she
declaring
,
the
Mayor
rose
up
in
much
fury
,
and
threatned
to
send
her
away
with
a
pass
,
from
tithing
to
tithing
,
and
to
make
a
ring
of
her
through
the
Country
;
and
if
she
came
again
,
he
threatned
to
send
her
away
with
a
whip
;
and
of
her
he
demanded
a
pass
,
and
an
account
of
her
coming
thither
:
she
answered
,
that
in
obedience
to
the
Lord
she
came
thither
,
and
to
declare
to
him
the
truth
;
and
that
he
should
know
of
a
truth
,
that
the
Lord
had
sent
a
Prophet
to
warn
him
;
and
of
him
she
demanded
to
shew
a
Law
that
she
had
transgressed
;
and
how
he
would
prove
her
a
vagabond
,
who
did
not
beg
,
and
asked
him
whether
he
was
not
partiall
in
judgement
,
in
examining
her
,
and
whether
he
did
examine
every
one
that
passed
through
that
Town
,
for
a
pass
,
yea
,
or
nay
;
He
replyed
,
[
*
](A84839-e23500-b)
*
Who
will
may
pass
the
Town
of
Plymouth
without
examination
,
but
all
those
who
come
in
the
name
of
the
Lord
,
Christopher
Ceely
saith
he
will
examine
.
that
all
that
came
in
the
name
of
the
Lord
he
would
examine
,
and
because
she
refused
to
tell
him
again
;
what
her
name
was
(
for
that
she
saw
he
demanded
it
to
ensnare
her
with
a
pass
,
)
he
rose
up
in
a
fury
,
and
ordered
her
to
prison
,
and
that
none
should
come
at
her
,
and
went
his
way
,
without
convincing
her
of
the
least
bre●ch
of
any
Law
.
After
she
had
been
there
about
three
or
four
dayes
,
John
Page
aforesaid
,
and
the
Town
Clerk
came
to
her
again
,
saying
the
Mayor
had
sent
them
to
examine
her
,
and
demanded
again
her
name
,
and
her
husbands
name
,
which
was
told
them
;
then
the
place
from
whence
she
came
;
she
said
she
had
told
them
it
once
already
,
but
had
said
she
should
not
tell
them
again
,
which
if
she
should
do
,
having
so
said
,
she
should
tell
them
a
lye
,
so
they
departed
.
On
the
25.
of
the
10.
month
,
the
Mayor
sent
for
Edw.
Dyer
of
Plymouth
,
and
asked
of
him
whether
he
would
be
bound
that
she
should
answer
at
Exon
Assizes
,
for
that
she
had
refused
to
be
examined
(
which
was
a
notorious
lye
,
for
she
submitted
to
examination
,
and
was
examined
by
them
,
as
hath
been
said
.
)
He
replyed
,
he
would
be
bound
for
her
appearing
,
and
for
her
answering
what
should
be
laid
against
her
:
then
the
Mayor
said
,
he
must
be
bound
for
her
good
behaviour
.
He
answered
he
knew
of
no
good
behaviour
she
had
broken
;
She
refuseth
to
be
examined
,
said
the
Mayor
,
and
to
give
in
her
name
.
He
replyed
,
she
told
her
name
:
the
Mayor
answered
,
the
truth
is
she
did
declare
her
name
,
but
I
,
said
he
,
have
forgot
it
,
(
and
indeed
he
was
in
such
a
rage
when
he
examined
her
,
that
he
remembred
not
what
it
was
,
though
she
told
him
;
and
yet
this
he
would
make
in
her
a
misbehaviour
,
and
for
it
requires
sureties
.
)
He
replyed
,
he
would
be
bound
she
should
not
be
drunk
,
nor
beg
,
borrow
,
steal
,
play
the
whore
,
nor
offer
violence
or
wrong
to
any
,
(
which
is
matter
for
the
requiring
sureties
for
the
good
behaviour
in
the
Law
,
but
to
this
generation
,
declaring
against
such
things
,
is
accounted
ill
behaviour
,
and
for
so
declaring
,
sureties
for
the
good
behaviour
they
require
,
so
the
Law
,
and
judgement
is
turned
backward
,
)
the
Mayor
bid
him
go
to
the
Town-Clerk
,
and
what
he
did
he
would
allow
of
.
The
Town-Clerk
would
have
him
be
bound
for
her
good
behaviour
;
he
refused
to
do
otherwise
than
he
had
said
to
the
Mayor
,
the
Mayor
having
declared
,
as
hath
been
said
,
that
she
had
misbehaved
her self
in
refusing
to
be
examined
,
(
which
she
did
not
)
and
to
give
her
name
,
(
which
he
confessed
she
did
)
and
that
he
had
forgot
it
.
Yet
the
Mayor
said
again
,
he
would
take
no
security
unless
he
would
be
bound
for
her
good
behaviour
;
he
answered
again
,
he
knew
not
what
they
meant
by
the
ill
behaviour
,
for
in
the
Bishops
days
,
when
people
met
together
in
the
fear
of
the
Lord
,
it
was
accounted
a
conventicle
,
and
a
breach
of
the
good
behaviour
,
and
that
since
on
the
same
account
doors
had
been
broken
open
by
the
rude
multitude
in
Plymouth
;
as
he
the
said
Mayor
well
knew
(
for
indeed
,
it
was
done
in
the
time
of
his
former
Mayoraltie
in
the
year
1645.
as
hath
been
instanced
in
the
former
relation
,
)
then
John
Martingdale
of
Plymouth
being
with
Edw.
Dyer
,
asked
the
Mayor
what
they
would
call
the
ill
behaviour
,
the
Mayor
replyed
,
what
the
Justices
should
judge
to
be
the
ill
behaviour
,
was
ill
behaviour
,
(
so
the
Law
,
it
seems
by
his
reckoning
,
is
not
,
but
the
breasts
of
the
Justices
,
the
rule
of
behaviour
,
who
(
after
this
rate
)
may
make
what
they
will
a
misbehaviour
,
and
so
what
innocent
man
can
be
free
,
if
they
have
a
mind
to
make
him
an
offender
?
and
to
their
lusts
in
this
kind
how
wicked
,
and
unreasonable
so
ever
if
he
will
not
submit
,
and
subscribe
himself
a
transgressor
,
who
is
innocent
,
the
penalty
of
the
Law
in
case
of
that
which
it
saith
is
indeed
misbehaviour
,
must
be
inflicted
on
him
,
as
if
he
had
broken
the
Law
;
and
so
their
lusts
prescribe
the
Law
,
and
the
Law
of
the
Nation
must
serve
for
the
punishment
of
the
transgression
of
their
lusts
,
as
of
the
Law
;
)
further
he
asked
him
,
whether
to
say
thee
,
and
thou
;
which
was
Scripture
language
,
was
a
breach
of
the
good
behaviour
;
to
this
the
Mayor
answered
not
:
but
some
that
stood
by
said
it
was
:
he
also
told
the
Mayor
that
he
knew
the
place
from
whence
she
came
,
and
that
she
was
no
wanderer
,
and
was
well
known
to
many
in
Plymouth
besides
himself
,
but
the
Mayor
would
not
hear
him
;
so
the
discourse
broke
off
,
and
ended
.
But
on
the
27.
of
the
10.
month
,
a
Constable
,
and
another
man
with
him
came
to
her
;
and
bad
her
provide
to
go
with
them
;
she
spake
to
them
to
shew
her
their
order
.
They
said
they
would
not
:
she
said
she
was
not
free
to
depart
thence
till
she
saw
the
order
;
they
denyed
her
again
;
and
haled
her
forth
of
the
room
,
&
through
the
street
,
which
when
they
had
done
,
and
drawn
her
a
pretty
space
out
of
the
Town
,
she
demanded
of
them
to
shew
by
what
order
they
did
it
,
or
whether
they
had
a
pass
,
otherwise
she
was
free
to
go
no
further
.
Hereupon
the
Constable
pulled
out
a
paper
,
she
bad
him
let
her
hear
what
was
in
it
,
he
said
she
should
not
;
so
she
returned
back
into
the
Town
,
into
which
being
come
,
the
Constable
brought
her
to
the
Mayor
again
;
who
upon
seeing
her
waxed
wroth
,
and
his
countenance
changed
,
and
he
said
,
must
he
still
be
troubled
with
her
?
would
she
not
be
bound
to
the
good
behaviour
,
nor
nothing
?
She
answered
him
,
she
was
bound
to
the
good
behaviour
by
the
Law
of
God
,
and
asked
him
wherein
she
had
misbehaved
her self
in
word
or
action
,
and
what
Law
she
had
transgressed
;
and
said
,
that
if
she
had
transgressed
any
Law
,
she
was
willing
to
suffer
by
it
:
but
he
answered
her
not
a
word
.
She
asked
him
why
he
dealt
so
with
her
,
and
demanded
to
hear
her
Pass
,
that
she
might
know
whither
he
meant
to
send
her
,
seeing
they
had
declared
they
knew
not
the
place
from
whence
she
came
;
he
said
,
she
should
not
hear
it
;
and
bid
her
depart
out
of
his
house
,
and
commanded
the
Constable
to
have
her
out
of
the
Town
:
so
the
Constable
charged
a
man
to
aid
him
,
who
laid
hands
on
her
,
using
her
with
violence
,
and
much
rudeness
.
But
a
woman
speaking
to
him
in
the
fear
of
the
Lord
,
he
let
go
his
hold
,
and
would
have
no
further
to
do
with
her
:
whereupon
the
Constable
said
,
he
knew
not
what
to
do
with
her
;
but
the
Mayor
commanded
to
put
her
in
Prison
.
Whereinto
being
brought
again
,
the
Mayor
,
and
two
or
three
more
,
came
into
the
Hall
,
and
consulted
together
,
but
spake
not
to
her
,
and
so
went
out
at
the
door
,
where
were
many
Friends
waiting
,
who
were
not
permitted
to
come
in
to
her
;
of
which
some
of
them
spake
to
him
,
and
that
they
might
have
liberty
to
see
her
.
But
instead
of
answering
their
equal
,
and
just
,
and
legal
desire
,
he
,
being
filled
with
rage
,
laid
violent
hands
on
Margaret
Restbridge
,
and
push'd
her
from
him
down
the
stairs
,
which
had
endangered
her
life
,
she
being
an
old
woman
,
but
that
many
Friends
being
there
,
the
press
of
them
kept
her
from
falling
above
two
or
three
steps
.
And
others
of
them
he
threatned
with
the
Clink
,
and
the
door
by
command
was
opened
to
put
them
thereinto
,
for
but
desiring
leave
to
see
her
,
and
command
he
gave
that
none
should
come
at
her
,
and
caused
her
to
be
k●pt
so
two
dayes
and
a
night
in
a
wide
room
without
a
fire
,
in
that
season
,
which
was
very
cold
and
bitter
weather
;
out
of
which
she
was
put
into
a
room
,
and
fire
permitted
her
,
upon
the
speaking
of
one
to
the
Mayor
against
his
cruelty
therein
,
he
being
moved
of
the
Lord
so
to
speak
.
On
the
31.
of
the
10.
month
,
the
Mayor
,
Justice
Vowell
,
(
who
was
Judge
of
the
Court
at
the
Sessions
at
Exon
,
before
whom
she
was
afterwards
brought
,
with
others
called
Justices
,
being
met
,
sent
for
her
down
into
the
Court
,
and
demand
they
did
her
name
,
and
her
husbands
name
,
and
the
place
of
their
habitation
,
which
she
refused
to
give
them
,
having
given
it
before
to
them
,
and
her
Friend
having
given
it
also
,
(
the
Mayor
confessing
the
one
,
but
not
caring
to
hear
the
other
,
as
hath
been
said
)
having
before
declared
she
should
not
give
it
them
again
,
because
she
saw
they
thereby
sought
to
send
her
away
with
a
Pass
,
as
a
Vagabond
,
which
she
was
not
;
and
which
by
the
Law
they
could
not
do
,
unless
she
had
been
taken
begging
,
and
her
name
and
place
of
habitation
in
the
Pass
expressed
:
but
content
she
was
to
submit
to
the
will
of
God
,
as
to
what
power
they
had
to
do
with
her
;
and
so
they
returned
her
again
to
Prison
.
A
few
dayes
after
,
viz.
on
the
third
day
of
the
11.
month
,
between
the
ninth
and
tenth
hour
at
night
,
came
a
Sergeant
,
and
would
have
her
open
her
chamber
door
;
but
it
being
so
late
in
the
night
,
and
she
alone
,
she
told
him
she
was
not
free
to
open
her
chamber
door
;
so
he
bid
her
prepare
to
be
going
to
Exeter
Prison
at
six
of
the
clock
the
next
morning
;
and
about
four
of
the
clock
the
next
morning
came
the
Constable
,
and
some
others
with
him
,
and
bid
her
open
the
door
,
which
she
was
not
free
to
do
,
being
alone
,
as
hath
been
said
,
and
it
being
two
hours
to
the
day
:
but
such
was
the
immodesty
and
unreasonableness
of
the
Officer
,
that
he
called
for
a
Smith
,
and
broke
open
her
chamber
door
at
such
an
unseasonable
and
unlawfull
hour
,
and
haled
her
out
of
the
room
through
the
street
to
a
stable
,
where
was
a
Carriers
horses
,
and
kept
the
stable
door
fast
,
refusing
to
let
her
Friends
come
in
to
her
,
who
hearing
of
the
violence
,
and
inhumane
dealing
with
her
,
came
to
see
her
before
her
departure
;
and
on
them
out
of
the
stable
did
they
cast
water
.
She
demanded
of
the
Officers
,
wherefore
they
dealt
so
with
her
,
or
whether
they
had
a
Mittimus
?
They
refused
to
shew
it
her
,
but
said
,
they
would
have
her
away
;
and
because
she
was
not
free
to
get
up
on
horseback
her self
,
unless
they
would
shew
her
a
Mittimus
,
or
by
what
Authority
they
used
her
after
that
manner
,
they
put
a
rope
about
her
,
with
which
they
load
their
packs
,
and
with
it
at
a
pully
twitcht
her
on
the
Horses
back
▪
and
bound
her
arms
behind
her
,
and
tyed
her
feet
under
the
Horses
belly
with
cords
,
and
so
drove
the
Horse
,
and
her
on
it
as
a
pack
,
yea
even
as
if
she
had
been
a
Creature
without
life
,
sense
or
feeling
,
for
the
space
of
ten
miles
,
bound
with
ropes
after
the
manner
aforesaid
,
(
such
an
unmanly
piece
of
salvage
bruitishness
,
and
inhumane
cruelty
,
especially
to
an
innocent
woman
,
tenderly
bred
,
and
of
a
considerable
estate
,
as
to
the
outward
,
hath
not
been
heard
of
in
this
Nation
,
but
is
the
monstrous
and
unnatural
fruit
of
the
Government
of
Plymouth
,
and
of
Christopher
Ceely
the
Mayor
thereof
in
particular
,
by
whom
the
Witnesses
of
the
Lord
have
cruelly
suffered
,
as
hath
been
,
and
is
yet
to
be
mentioned
.
Are
these
Christians
?
Or
are
these
Men
?
Would
not
the
worst
of
Heathens
have
blush'd
at
the
very
relation
of
such
barbarous
inhumanity
?
Nor
have
they
left
behind
them
on
record
(
so
far
as
is
remembred
)
such
a
noysome
smell
to
posterity
.
But
it
is
Plymouth
,
it
is
England
,
that
leaves
these
filthy
stinks
to
future
ages
,
which
is
a
lamentation
.
)
After
which
,
he
that
drove
her
having
satiated
his
cruelty
over
which
she
bore
,
and
had
dominion
,
he
loosened
her
cords
,
and
told
her
he
had
a
Mittimus
to
carry
her
to
Exeter
Goal
,
unto
which
he
brought
her
,
and
there
was
committed
a
Prisoner
till
the
general
Sessions
of
that
County
.
Before
whom
being
brought
,
many
untruths
(
which
the
Mayor
of
Plymouth
had
sent
against
her
)
were
read
,
but
not
one
witness
appeared
to
convince
her
of
the
transgression
of
any
one
Law
of
the
Nation
;
nor
would
Justice
Wowell
(
who
was
Judge
of
the
Court
,
who
had
to
do
in
her
persecution
at
Plymouth
,
as
hath
been
said
)
permit
her
,
nor
any
of
her
Friends
of
Plymouth
who
were
present
,
to
speak
in
witness
of
the
truth
on
her
behalf
;
but
he
said
,
if
she
would
go
to
her
husband
,
she
should
have
her
liberty
,
otherwise
they
would
will
and
require
her
so
to
do
.
To
which
she
answered
,
In
the
will
of
God
I
stand
,
do
with
me
what
ye
have
power
:
for
when
they
were
not
able
to
lay
any
breach
of
the
Law
to
their
charge
,
they
thought
to
have
blemished
her
with
being
from
her
husband
,
(
such
was
their
justice
to
an
innocent
woman
,
who
had
suffered
,
as
is
aforesaid
)
But
her
husband
(
who
as
the
Lord
had
ordered
it
,
was
but
a
little
before
come
to
the
Town
)
being
in
the
Court
)
and
endeavouring
to
speak
,
to
take
off
that
pretended
aspersion
,
they
would
not
hear
him
.
Then
a
man
standing
by
,
said
something
concerning
his
having
heard
her
say
as
if
the
Scriptures
were
not
the
Word
of
God
:
she
looked
upon
him
,
and
bid
him
minde
what
he
had
spoken
,
and
let
that
in
his
conscience
witness
whether
he
heard
her
speak
any
any
such
word
(
for
what
she
spake
was
no
such
thing
,
as
is
hereafter
made
to
appear
,
even
under
his
own
hand
,
it
being
in
discourse
with
him
at
an
Inne
,
as
she
was
on
her
way
from
Plymouth
Prison
to
Exon
Goal
.
)
This
the
Judge
of
the
Court
caught
hold
on
presently
,
(
for
instead
of
delivering
the
oppressed
,
as
is
the
Law
,
they
sought
after
cause
to
make
her
to
suffer
)
and
demanded
of
her
whether
she
owned
the
Scriptures
to
be
the
Word
of
God
,
yea
or
nay
?
She
answered
,
what
she
had
spoken
,
she
would
not
deny
;
the
Scriptures
she
witnessed
to
be
a
true
Declaration
,
but
Christ
was
the
Word
;
mentioning
the
saying
of
Christ
,
Search
the
Scriptures
,
for
in
them
ye
think
to
have
eternal
life
,
and
they
are
they
that
testifie
of
me
,
saith
Christ
.
And
the
man
that
accused
her
,
declared
to
the
Judge
of
the
Court
,
that
she
so
said
,
viz.
the
Scriptures
were
a
true
Declaration
,
but
Christ
was
the
Word
:
Yet
much
ado
the
Judge
made
for
her
to
say
yea
or
no
to
his
question
,
that
so
he
might
ensnare
her
:
And
though
she
answered
him
in
the
words
that
she
spake
to
the
man
that
accused
her
,
which
was
as
much
as
legally
,
or
in
reason
could
be
expected
;
and
he
who
accused
her
,
affirmed
it
was
so
,
as
hath
been
said
,
yet
commanded
he
the
Goaler
to
take
her
away
,
and
required
the
man
who
accused
her
,
to
prepare
a
Bill
of
Indictment
against
her
;
which
contrary
to
his
minde
,
and
to
what
he
had
said
in
evidence
,
the
Clerk
of
the
Sessions
,
and
the
grand
Jury
drew
up
,
wherein
she
was
charged
as
a
Felon
,
and
(
as
they
said
)
the
Bill
was
found
by
the
grand
Jury
:
but
what
ground
they
had
in
Law
to
form
a
Bill
contrary
to
the
Evidence
,
or
to
make
that
matter
of
an
Indictment
(
suppose
it
had
been
spoken
by
her
,
as
they
placed
it
,
and
would
have
it
to
be
)
which
is
none
in
Law
;
for
all
Indictments
are
invalid
,
where
the
offence
charged
therein
is
not
bottom'd
on
a
Law
;
or
to
make
that
Felony
by
form
,
which
is
no
offence
in
substance
;
and
what
consciences
such
a
grand
Jury
have
,
as
to
form
or
finde
such
a
Bill
for
the
taking
away
of
life
,
made
(
as
hath
been
said
)
without
ground
in
Law
,
or
truth
,
or
honesty
in
form
,
nay
contrary
to
the
Evidence
,
yea
to
the
witness
his
declaring
to
them
at
what
they
had
drawn
up
,
was
not
according
to
his
minde
,
is
plainly
manifested
,
and
their
cruelty
therein
to
the
sober
,
and
men
of
understanding
,
by
what
hath
been
already
said
;
and
what
a
generation
of
blind
and
bloody
Monsters
,
exceeding
in
impudent
wickedness
all
that
have
gone
before
them
,
this
age
so
high
in
profession
,
and
so
eminently
delivered
by
the
hand
of
the
Lord
,
brings
forth
against
his
living
truth
,
and
innocent
servants
,
but
is
made
further
apparent
,
and
the
due
weight
and
right
measure
of
this
charge
,
by
the
witness
against
himself
,
who
wrote
to
Edw.
Raddon
,
Secretary
to
General
Disborow
,
who
with
General
Disborow
was
then
at
Exon
,
as
followeth
.
To
his
honoured
Friend
Edward
Raddon
,
Secretary
to
General
Disbor●w
,
these
present
.
Sir
,
MY
service
presented
to
you
.
Being
at
Exon
l●st
Sessions
,
I
came
forth
,
and
witnessed
against
one
Margaret
Killam
what
I
heard
her
speak
,
viz.
That
when
in
discourse
we
sp●ke
concerning
her
walking
according
the
light
within
;
I
said
,
it
is
true
,
but
the
Scriptures
,
or
the
Word
of
God
,
is
the
rule
for
us
to
walk
by
.
Said
she
,
Jesus
Christ
is
the
Word
.
It
is
true
,
but
there
is
a
written
word
.
O
thou
art
an
ignorant
person
,
and
dost
not
understand
the
Scriptures
,
said
she
.
At
which
words
the
Judge
of
the
Sessions
demanded
of
her
whether
the
Scriptures
were
the
Word
of
God
,
or
no
?
She
did
not
confess
it
,
or
deny
it
before
them
;
but
they
enjoyned
me
to
draw
up
a
Bill
of
Indictment
against
her
,
which
,
as
the
Clerk
under
you
drew
up
,
but
not
according
to
my
minde
,
but
as
both
they
and
the
grand
Jury
said
,
it
must
be
so
according
to
the
form
of
the
Law
.
In
that
case
I
onely
can
witness
neither
more
nor
less
than
above
:
but
I
cannot
,
neither
ever
did
I
swear
that
she
should
say
the
Scriptures
were
not
the
Word
of
God
,
but
it
was
a
Declaration
of
the
minde
of
God
.
Jan.
25.
John
Cawse
.
And
how
far
Justice
Vowell
,
the
Judge
of
the
Court
,
was
of
the
same
minde
,
appears
,
in
that
being
spoken
to
by
a
Friend
that
the
Law
might
proceed
on
her
,
and
that
on
her
,
if
she
had
transgressed
,
the
Law
might
have
its
course
;
he
replyed
to
that
Friend
to
this
effect
,
Will
ye
have
them
hang'd
out
of
hand
?
Whereby
he
intended
with
her
,
Richard
Lippincot
of
Plymouth
,
and
Thomas
Hooton
,
who
were
then
Prisoners
for
some
such
thing
.
And
so
by
his
question
it
appears
,
that
to
say
that
Christ
is
the
Word
,
and
the
Scriptures
a
true
Declaration
of
him
,
(
for
those
were
the
words
which
she
onely
said
,
and
which
her
Accuser
witnessed
to
be
so
)
in
his
judgement
is
matter
of
hanging
:
Was
ever
such
a
thing
heard
of
before
this
day
to
come
forth
of
the
mouth
of
a
Judge
professing
Christ
?
The
Jews
,
who
put
him
to
death
,
denyed
him
;
and
they
which
persecuted
his
Apostles
and
Witnesses
,
dis-owned
their
testimony
of
him
whom
they
declared
:
but
this
generation
profess
him
in
words
,
and
call
themselves
Christians
,
and
yet
seek
to
murther
them
who
testifie
of
him
;
Hang
them
th●t
say
Christ
is
the
Word
,
and
the
Scriptures
a
true
Declaration
of
h●m
:
what
more
blasphemous
bloodiness
,
damnable
Antichristianism
,
and
Mahometan
hellishness
?
Can
a
Turk
say
more
?
What
would
not
this
generation
do
to
the
Truth
,
and
the
innocent
Lambs
of
Christ
,
were
there
power
in
their
hands
?
How
soon
then
would
his
Doctrine
be
made
Blasphemy
,
and
his
Disciples
Blasphemers
,
and
their
blood
poured
out
on
the
ground
,
for
owning
of
him
to
be
that
which
he
is
,
and
which
the
Scriptures
testifie
of
him
?
Is
not
the
spirit
of
giddiness
and
of
deep
sleep
poured
forth
on
this
generation
?
How
are
they
drunk
with
blood
,
and
besotted
with
rage
and
madness
,
who
would
kill
a
man
for
witnessing
what
themselves
profess
?
Own
him
in
words
to
be
the
Word
,
and
the
Scripture
to
be
Truth
,
which
declare
him
so
to
be
,
and
yet
hang
them
who
say
and
witness
him
to
be
the
Word
,
and
that
of
him
the
Scriptures
are
a
true
Declaration
.
O
monstrous
contradiction
!
whither
would
not
this
rage
run
,
what
cruelty
would
it
not
effect
,
were
it
not
he
that
putteth
the
sands
as
a
band
to
the
S●a
,
saith
unto
it
,
hitherto
shall
thy
rage
proceed
,
and
no
further
?
O
ye
Lambs
of
Christ
,
what
quick
havock
would
be
made
of
you
,
and
speedy
riddance
from
off
the
face
of
the
Earth
,
were
it
not
that
ye
are
kept
in
the
arms
of
the
Almighty
,
and
hid
secret
in
his
pavilion
,
where
ye
are
preserved
,
even
your
Enemies
themselves
being
Judges
?
That
Sessions
ended
without
bringing
her
to
a
trial
on
that
Indictment
,
notwithstand●ng
that
the
Friend
aforesaid
desired
that
the
Law
might
have
its
course
;
which
he
moved
,
lest
they
should
put
her
off
to
the
next
Sessions
.
And
continued
in
Prison
she
was
till
the
15.
of
the
12.

Richard
Lippincot

Thomas
Hooton

and
Margaret

,
wife
of
John
Kellum
now
in
your
Goal
,
for
which
this
shall
be
your
sufficient
Warrant

Given

John
Copplestone
.
To
Thomas
D●ght
,
Keeper
of
the
Goal
near
the
Castle
at
Exon.
And
so
Margaret
Kellum
,
for
coming
to
Plymouth
,
divers
hundreds
of
miles
from
her
outward
habitation
,
and
speaking
as
she
was
moved
of
the
Lord
,
to
Christopher
Ceely
,
Mayor
of
Plymouth
,
the
word
of
the
Lord
in
his
hou●e
,
whitherto
she
came
,
and
into
which
she
was
bid
by
h●m
to
come
,
after
that
she
had
sent
in
that
she
desired
to
speak
with
him
,
and
had
told
him
,
upon
his
coming
to
the
door
,
that
she
had
a
word
from
the
Lo●d
to
declare
to
him
;
which
word
of
the
Lord
so
declared
,
he
confessed
to
be
very
good
,
and
truth
,
was
imprisoned
by
him
,
and
continued
a
Prisoner
for
the
space
of
seven
and
fifty
dayes
,
and
used
with
that
inhumanity
,
barbarousness
and
cruelty
,
as
hath
been
express'd
.
This
is
Christopher
Ceely
,
who
professeth
Christ
,
and
the
Scriptures
;
this
is
the
Governour
,
and
the
Government
of
Plymouth
,
a
people
professing
Religion
;
this
is
the
Authority
of
the
County
of
Devon
,
and
the
justice
of
their
Judge
Vowell
;
these
are
the
fruits
of
them
all
,
and
of
their
Ministry
of
the
Gospel
,
and
of
its
shining
so
long
amongst
them
,
of
which
they
so
loudly
boast
,
and
unto
which
they
and
their
generation
would
conform
all
,
or
cut
them
off
;
and
for
that
purpose
have
made
such
wars
,
and
shed
so
much
blood
in
these
Dominions
;
these
are
some
of
the
fruits
found
in
England
,
a
Nation
saved
by
the
Lord
,
to
the
astonishment
and
dread
of
all
Nations
,
and
bearing
his
name
,
in
return
of
all
his
mercies
and
deliverances
:
All
ye
that
pass
by
,
stay
your selves
,
and
wonder
.

Priscilla

,
and
Mary
Cole
of
Plymouth
,
on
the
19.
day
of
the
6.
month
called
August
1656.
Priscilla
Cotton
b●i●g
moved
of
the
Lord
,
went
,
&
Mary
●ole
with
her
to
the
St●e●l●-house
at
Plymouth
,
where
they
sate
silent
till
George
Hughes
the
Priest
had
ended
his
divination
,
and
then
Priscill●
Cotton
stood
up
,
and
spake
to
the
people
,
and
to
them
she
said
,
People
why
do
ye
spend
your
mony
for
that
which
is
not
bread
,
and
your
labour
for
that
which
doth
not
sati●fie
?
hearken
di
igently
to
the
eternall
word
,
that
your
souls
may
live
:
when
she
had
spoken
these
words
,
said
the
Priest
,
to
whom
do
you
speak
?
if
you
have
any
thing
to
say
come
home
to
my
house
;
I
have
been
at
thy
house
,
said
she
,
and
have
wrote
to
thee
,
but
all
to
little
purpose
;
i●
it
not
the
word
of
the
Lord
(
said
he
)
that
I
have
preached
to
the
people
?
Nay
,
rep●i●d
,
●riscilla
,
it
is
a
divination
of
thy
own
brayn
;
whereupon
he
(
lest
he
should
shamed
before
the
people
)
called
out
to
the
M●gistrates
,
(
thereby
shewing
of
what
generation
he
wa●
)
to
have
her
away
,
to
which
Mary
Cole
,
(
who
till
then
was
si●ent
)
rep●yed
,
did
ever
Christ
J●sus
,
or
his
Apostles
call
for
the
assi
tance
of
M●gistrates
?
but
so
did
the
Pharisees
of
old
,
and
the
Apostles
were
drawn
out
of
the
Synagogues
.
But
nevertheless
what
●he
Priest
said
,
prevailed
,
and
so
violent
hands
were
laid
on
them
,
and
they
haled
out
of
the
Synagogues
,
fulfilling
the
words
of
Christ
;
whereupon
Priscilla
said
to
the
Priest
,
wo
unto
thee
that
laughs
now
,
for
thou
shalt
mourn
and
weep
.
Being
drawn
out
of
the
high
place
,
they
were
both
put
under
the
Town
hall
,
and
there
kept
with
Halberts
,
and
were
mockt
,
and
derided
.
The
next
day
they
were
called
before
John
Page
Mayor
,
and
Richard
Spurwell
,
and
Rob●●●
G●bbes
Justices
;
Rich.
Spurwell
,
who
was
one
of
the
members
of
the
Priests
Church
(
so
cal●ed
)
bi●
the
Clark
,
write
t●at
Priscilla
,
(
●hom
they
first
examined
)
come
to
oppose
the
Minister
,
and
di●●urbed
the
people
;
nay
said
Priscilla
,
let
not
lyes
be
●rote
,
and
to
the
Clark
she
said
,
I
charge
thee
to
wri●e
no
lyes
,
but
truth
;
whereupon
the
Clark
said
,
I
wi●l
write
nothi●g
but
what
your self
spake
:
said
R.
Spurwell
,
you
came
in
pride
and
pr●sumption
;
nay
I
came
in
the
fear
of
the
Lord
God
said
she
,
and
in
obedience
to
him
whom
I
ought
to
obey
before
man
;
what
said
ye
more
,
said
●e
?
so
she
declared
what
she
had
spoken
,
and
exhorted
them
to
mind
their
teacher
within
,
the
light
which
would
teach
them
not
to
be
envious
,
nor
partiall
,
nor
hatefull
,
and
told
them
the
Lord
would
pluck
his
people
out
of
the
teeth
of
the
devouring
greedy
shepherds
;
●nd
that
the
Priest
made
the
disturba●ce
if
there
were
any
,
for
they
heard
him
and
said
nothing
till
he
had
ended
his
divinations
,
and
deserved
the
punishment
(
if
any
were
due
)
for
what
they
spake
,
it
was
by
commandment
;
and
that
it
was
matter
of
admiration
that
they
were
so
deluded
by
him
,
who
was
their
servant
for
their
mony
,
and
that
they
were
so
subject
to
his
lusts
,
as
if
he
were
their
Lord
;
whereupon
they
lo●kt
one
upon
another
,
and
had
her
away
.
Then
Mary
Cole
was
cal●ed
,
and
of
her
many
needless
questions
they
asked
,
and
whether
she
did
not
deny
all
preaching
?
she
answered
,
she
wish't
that
all
the
Lords
people
were
Prophets
,
and
that
his
spirit
was
poured
on
them
all
,
and
with
many
exhortations
,
she
perswaded
them
to
mind
their
conditions
,
and
to
turn
the
Lord
,
and
to
mind
him
who
did
call
upon
them
for
amendment
of
life
,
and
told
them
,
she
was
grieved
to
see
them
neglect
their
teacher
,
which
would
instruct
them
continually
,
if
they
would
hearken
to
him
,
and
so
to
prison
they
returned
them
both
,
and
after
some
time
Priscilla
was
called
,
and
tendred
her
the
Oath
of
Abjuration
of
Pop●ry
,
dost
thou
think
I
am
a
Papist
,
said
she
to
the
Mayor
;
no
I
think
in
my
conscience
,
said
he
you
are
not
;
why
then
,
said
Priscilla
,
dost
thou
tender
me
the
Oath
?
the
Mayor
said
,
because
it
is
according
to
the
Protectors
order
;
whereupon
she
declared
,
I
renounce
the
Pope
,
and
all
popish
opinions
,
but
I
will
not
swear
at
all
;
then
presently
Mary
Cole
was
called
,
and
the
same
Oath
was
tendred
to
her
,
to
which
she
declared
,
as
had
Priscilla
;
then
the
Mayor
told
them
,
by
the
Judge
they
must
be
tryed
,
and
asked
them
whether
their
husbands
(
who
were
shopkeepers
in
the
Town
,
)
would
be
bound
for
them
,
or
they
must
to
Exeter
on
foot
;
and
so
the
next
day
he
sent
them
to
Exeter
;
but
the
day
they
came
t●ither
,
the
Assizes
was
ended
,
so
they
were
delivered
to
the
Goaler
,
and
very
evilly
entreated
by
the
people
of
the
Town
,
as
they
passed
along
,
with
dirt
,
and
mocking●
.

they
being

and
attending
there
severall
dayes
during
the
time
of
their
sitting
,
no
accusation
was
laid
in

them

of
