THERE is a strange Prophet , now in England , who knowes no Parents , neither did he ever suck his Mothers Brests ; he hath a red Beard , and goes Bare-foot like a Gray-frier . He wears no Hat , and his Coat is party-coloured ; it 's neither Dyed , Knit , Woven , nor Spun ; it 's made neither of Silk , Hair , Linnen , nor Wollen , but naturally of a good colour and gloss . He drinks no Wine , nor Beer , but Water ; and contents himself with a moderate Diet. He esteems not Money , neither will he receive it if profered unto him . He walks neither with Stick , Staff , nor Sword ; yet he Marcheth Boldly in the face of his Enemies : and can , if he pleaseth , encounter with the stoutest that wears an head . He is often abused by Wicked Men , yet he takes it patiently . He lets all Men alone with their Religion ; neither doth he dispute with any about it . He complains of the Protestants , and inclines to the Papists , who use him kindly in Lent . He sleeps in no Bed , but standing or sitting ; and is Admired by all Men for his Watchfullness ; He Crys out upon the Wicked World with outstretcht Arms. He is so skiled in all Languages , that Men of all Nations can understand him . He raiseth up Men , by declaring that the Day of the Lord is at hand ! The Doors and Windows flie open when he Prophesies , Day and Night ; and Men find the Effects true . He was with Noah in the Ark , and with Christ when he was Crucified . He denies no Article of the Christian Faith .

He was lately at Rochester .
