The
Lamentable
SUFFERINGS
of
the
Church
of
GOD
in
DORSET-SHIRE
.
And
the
persecution
there
;
Whipping
sufficient
men
of
their
own
County
as
vagabonds
,
and
how
bruitish
they
behave
themselves
and
unmanly
,
dishonouing
their
Magistracy
,
and
shaming
their
Ministery
;
How
they
have
stocked
,
imprisoned
,
whipped
,
and
sent
away
with
passes
the
servants
of
the
Lord
God
,
and
what
havock
they
have
made
of
the
Church
of
God
;
acting
without
the
fear
of
God
,
and
as
men
regarding
neither
God
nor
man
,
and
as
though
they
had
never
heard
talk
of
God
,
Christ
,
Prophets
nor
Apostles
,
nor
scriptures
,
as
though
they
never
had
read
their
examples
of
such
as
turned
against
the
Just
,
and
were
the
persecutors
;
But
the
wickedness
of
the
wicked
shal
●…
y
themselves
,
and
the
Lord
is
the
reward
of
the
Just
,
and
the
protector
of
the
Innocent
,
and
carries
his
Lambs
in
his
armes
,
and
Rebukes
the
adversaries
,
yea
Kings
,
for
the
Annointed-Elects
sake
;
Therefore
let
your
doings
and
violence
be
so
no
more
,
least
the
Lord
make
you
examples
.

FRIENDS
,
YOU
may
see
in
this
following
Relation
your
fruits
,
with
uncivil
,
undescreet
,
unmoderate
,
untemperate
carriages
you
use
,
and
hath
been
done
by
you
to
the
people
of
God
,
to
whip
sufficient
men
,
able
men
,
as
Vagabonds
,
which
are
the
servants
of
the
Lord
,
the
most
high
God
,
and
imprison
men
and
women
for
reproving
sin
in
the
gate
,
and
such
are
your
prey
;
or
in
your
places
of
worship
,
how
unlike
the
Church
of
God
are
you
,
or
the
Apostles
,
which
saith
,
you
may
all
prophecy
one
by
one
?
how
unlike
Peter
are
ye
,
and
Joel
,
that
saith
,
the
Lord
would
pour
on
his
sons
and
daughters
,
and
they
should
prophecy
?
and
such
you
imprison
that
prophecy
to
you
,
and
strike
,
beat
whip
as
Vagabonds
,
or
as
deceivers
;
(
the
Pharisees
title
)
now
did
ever
any
of
the
Christians
persecute
and
make
such
havock
and
such
preys
,
and
laid
so
many
snares
to
intrap
and
catch
and
insnare
the
Innocent
as
you
have
done
?
as
you
may
read
in
these
following
papers
your
fruits
;
to
all
so●er
people
you
are
a
grief
,
you
shame
your
Office
,
and
dishonour
the
name
,
you
profess
God
and
Christ
,
you
make
the
Name
of
God
〈…〉
phemed
in
your
Countrie
〈…〉
lice
is
against
such
which
〈…〉
formerly
hath
borne
Ar
〈…〉
cause
they
lay
down
their
●●●ward
Armes
,
their
carnal
weapons
,
now
you
make
a
prey
upon
them
,
who
by
your
snares
and
plots
seek
for
them
;
because
you
knowing
they
cannot
swear
nor
put
off
their
hats
,
such
as
deny
the
honour
below
,
and
seek
the
honour
of
God
,
such
by
evil
snares
you
make
a
prey
upon
;
is
it
not
a
strange
thing
that
you
should
make
a
prey
,
or
be
so
ridged
against
the
servants
of
the
Lord
,
which
by
you
in
scorn
are
called
Quakers
?
for
your
ridgedness
was
formerly
against
them
when
you
were
in
outward
Armes
against
them
;
And
so
Dorcet-Shire
;
to
many
of
you
.
Is
it
not
a
strange
thing
that
you
should
be
perverse
,
but
the
Lord
forgive
you
,
and
let
you
see
your selves
,
for
you
have
shamed
your selves
,
your
names
you
have
set
upon
record
,
to
be
such
that
turn
against
them
that
be
guided
by
the
Spirit
of
God
in
the
life
of
Jesus
Christ
,
which
shews
all
your
service
hath
this
long
time
been
in
the
lip
,
what
is
in
your
hearts
is
now
manifest
;
therefore
let
this
time
be
sufficient
you
have
spent
,
and
wickedness
and
mischief
you
have
acted
against
the
servants
of
the
Lord
,
and
learn
humility
that
goes
before
the
honour
,
and
soberness
,
and
temperance
,
and
gravity
,
and
that
will
be
of
good
report
to
you
;
Is
this
the
end
of
your
Ministery
and
Church
,
and
profession
and
Christianity
,
to
whip
,
prison
,
fine
,
such
as
will
not
give
you
honour
below
?
Is
that
it
that
disturbs
you
,
and
fine
such
as
are
gathered
together
in
the
Name
of
Christ
,
and
will
not
break
the
Commands
of
Christ
,
do
you
think
all
the
sober
people
in
the
Nation
doth
not
take
notice
and
view
your
fruits
?
Let
the
witness
of
God
in
all
your
consciences
be
a
witness
for
the
Lord
against
you
,
to
your
Condemnation
;
from
a
friend
to
your
Souls
and
your
eternal
good
,
but
a
grief
to
see
your
practizes
and
ashamed
of
it
.
Therefore
now
you
have
time
,
repent
,
least
you
say
,
you
had
time
,
and
it
is
past
;
come
do
you
read
in
the
Apostles
Apistles
or
the
Prophets
,
that
they
acted
such
things
as
you
acted
,
or
among
the
Apostles
of
Christ
?
read
the
Scriptures
and
try
your
practizes
by
them
,
and
let
them
measure
your
rule
,
and
let
you
see
who
you
are
like
,
the
persecutors
,
or
the
Apostles
that
were
persecuted
?
Was
not
the
Priests
in
all
ages
such
as
stirred
up
the
Magistrates
against
the
Prophets
,
Christ
and
the
Apostles
?
are
the
Magistrates
,
become
to
be
their
Executioners
(
for
which
cause
the
Lord
overturned
many
)
Will
not
this
fall
upon
you
?
It
lyes
upon
you
to
consider
it
,
the
Lord
will
do
Justice
to
his
children
,
who
Judges
among
the
Judges
;
therefore
do
that
which
is
of
good
report
,
and
savory
and
commendable
in
the
eyes
of
God
and
his
people
,
and
all
sober
people
,
that
to
such
you
may
be
a
good
savour
,
for
many
would
hardly
believe
there
had
been
such
fruits
and
actions
and
carriages
among
you
,
in
making
such
havock
of
the
Church
of
God
,
and
the
people
of
God
,
by
disturbing
them
and
haling
them
from
their
peaceable
meetings
,
and
so
much
violence
in
you
towards
them
through
the
Priests
perswasion
;
Be
not
ye
their
pack-horses
,
nor
executioners
to
raven
after
the
Innocent
,
and
to
destroy
them
for
a
thing
of
naught
;
But
do
Justice
and
keep
peace
,
and
walk
humbly
with
God
,
and
stop
the
way
of
violence
,
that
will
be
the
way
whererby
ye
may
come
into
a
comfortable
life
with
God
and
his
people
,
which
if
not
,
you
will
be
Judged
by
the
Lord
God
and
his
people
,
and
that
in
all
your
Consciences
shall
witness
it
at
last
,
which
now
you
kick
against
them
,
persecute
and
imprison
them
;
and
if
they
went
into
everlasting
punishment
,
that
visited
not
Christ
in
prison
,
What
will
become
of
you
that
cast
him
in
prison
?
But
consider
these
things
,
you
who
have
acted
like
men
without
reason
,
or
true
understanding
or
knowledge
,
as
though
you
never
regard
the
Law
of
God
nor
man
;
How
do
you
love
enemies
that
persecute
,
is
this
your
intertaining
of
strangers
?
The
Law
saith
,
thou
shalt
not
vex
the
stranger
:
which
Law
you
have
cast
behind
your
backs
,
and
Christs
Command
,
and
you
persecute
the
servants
of
the
Lord
God
as
Vagabonds
;
What
would
you
have
done
to
Abraham
,
that
had
not
a
foot
of
ground
?
and
to
Christ
,
that
had
not
room
to
lay
his
head
?
or
the
Apostles
,
that
had
no
certain
dwelling-houses
,
if
they
had
been
in
your
dayes
?
Are
not
you
ashamed
to
profess
their
Words
,
and
walk
contrary
to
their
practizes
?
And
was
not
Cain
a
Vagabond
,
that
built
a
City
,
and
had
not
a
habitation
in
God
,
the
persecutor
;
The
murderer
that
rose
against
faithful
Abel
?
And
now
though
you
have
habitations
on
earth
,
yet
not
in
God
,
you
are
in
the
same
condition
;
therefore
look
to
your selves
betimes
,
for
it
is
not
past
.
Or
how
are
you
like
Moses
that
Magistrate
,
that
said
,
would
all
the
Lords
people
were
Prophets
?
Which
you
Magistrates
cast
the
Prophets
of
the
Lord
,
and
his
sons
and
daughters
in
prison
;
And
are
not
you
not
an
ill
savour
in
this
,
doth
not
your
fruits
declare
it
?
Here
followeth
a
true
Relation
of
the
unjust
imprisonment
of
Samuel
Curtis
and
John
Gundry
,
by
them
called
Justices
,
at
a
sitting
of
them
at
Sherborn
in
the
year
,
1657.
UPon
the
second
month
in
the
year
,
1657.
Samuel
Curtis
and
John
Gundry
,
then
living
in
Evershot
.
in
the
County
of
Dorset
,
were
by
a
Warrant
,
called
,
a
peace
processe
,
carried
before
Walter
Foy
of
Melbury
Bub
,
called
a
Justice
,
the
said
Walter
Foy
having
nothing
to
accuse
them
of
,
he
caused
them
to
appear
at
the
next
general
Sessions
held
at
Sherborn
in
the
County
aforesaid
,
and
when
Samuel
Curtis
and
John
Gundry
appeared
before
the
Court
at
the
Sessions
,
they
began
to
be
light
and
vain
,
and
said
here
were
Quakers
come
,
and
having
nothing
to
accuse
them
of
;
Then
they
called
Justices
bid
them
put
off
their
hats
and
be
uncovered
;
But
S.C.
and
I.G.
standing
there
innocent
before
them
,
knowing
themselves
clear
as
to
the
breach
of
any
known
Law
;
desired
to
know
what
law
they
had
broken
that
they
were
brought
hither
,
or
who
was
their
accuser
?
Then
they
called
Justices
,
caused
the
Cryer
to
make
proclamation
that
all
men
should
stand
uncovered
in
the
face
of
the
Court
;
then
those
called
Justices
said
they
will
not
put
off
their
hats
;
But
S.
C.
and
I.
G.
desired
to
see
what
law
they
had
broken
?
but
they
could
not
shew
any
,
neither
had
they
any
one
to
accuse
them
of
any
thing
,
that
they
had
done
;
Then
one
of
them
said
,
that
they
had
made
a
law
for
them
(
to
wit
that
they
should
put
off
their
hats
)
but
S.
C.
and
I.
G.
said
that
they
should
shew
them
a
law
that
was
made
before
they
came
to
sit
there
,
which
was
in
the
statutes
of
Engl●nd
,
which
was
made
by
Parliament
(
for
they
were
not
law-makers
)
so
when
they
could
not
shew
them
any
law
they
had
broken
,
nor
accuse
them
of
any
evil
that
they
had
done
,
then
they
commanded
them
to
depart
,
and
to
give
attendance
to
the
Court
,
and
appear
again
when
they
were
called
,
then
after
dinner
〈…〉
as
they
were
commanded
,
but
in
the
mean
time
,
after
they
had
been
the
first
time
before
them
,
they
framed
themselves
an
indictment
against
them
;
and
when
they
were
come
before
them
they
read
their
indictment
,
that
S.
C.
and
I.
G.
stood
in
contempt
of
the
Court
,
which
was
false
,
for
they
themselves
did
command
them
to
stand
there
before
them
;
Then
they
asked
them
if
they
were
guilty
or
not
guilty
?
then
S.
C.
and
J.
G.
asked
them
what
law
they
had
broken
?
then
they
,
called
Justices
said
,
that
they
should
plead
guilty
or
not
guilty
,
then
S.
C
and
J
G.
said
,
that
they
should
shew
them
what
law
they
had
broken
,
that
they
were
guilty
of
the
breach
thererof
;
Then
one
of
them
called
Justices
said
,
that
they
stood
in
contempt
of
the
Court
,
Then
S.
C.
asked
them
wherein
they
stood
in
contempt
of
the
Court
,
saying
that
they
were
commanded
by
them
to
stand
there
,
and
being
there
,
whether
they
did
not
stand
as
sober
men
?
and
that
they
stood
not
in
contempt
of
the
court
;
but
not
any
one
of
them
called
Justices
,
could
shew
them
any
law
that
they
had
broken
,
nor
yet
where
they
stood
in
contempt
of
the
Court
as
they
falsly
accused
them
;
Then
William
Hussey
of
Sha●●tone
,
Judge
of
that
County
stood
up
and
said
to
Samuel
Curtis
and
John
Gundry
that
this
court
doth
fine
you
ten
pounds
a
piece
,
or
to
lie
in
Prison
until
you
pay
it
;
so
they
were
presently
committed
to
prison
,
because
they
could
not
pay
them
money
who
had
broken
no
Law
,
neither
could
any
man
accuse
them
of
any
evil
they
had
done
,
but
contrary
to
law
and
e●uity
sent
them
to
prison
,
so
that
equity
could
not
enter
,
and
those
that
refrain
from
evil
,
becomes
their
prey
,

and
doth
not
the
Lord
see
these
?
and
doth
it
not
displease
him
that
there
can
be
no
judgement
found
?
and
are
not
these
such
Judges
as
the
Prophet
speaks
of
Zeph
.
3.3
.
saying
,
her
Judges
are
evening
wolves
,
who
put
aside
Justice
for
a
thing
of
nought
,
even
for
a
hat
;
and
thus
were
two
men
fearing
God
,
taken
out
of
their
honest
imployments
,
and
then
insnared
and
unjustly
imprisoned
,
and
those
that
did
it
have
not
learned
to
love
their
neighbour
as
themselves
.

they
asked
them
for
what
they
should
give
sureties
,
telling
them
they
had
broken
no
Law
of
this
land
;
then
they
said
,
they
should
know
wherefore
at
the
Sessions
;
they
refusing
to
give
any
sureties
,
were
then
forthwith
sent
to
Prison
,
by
the
same
Bailiffs
;
they
remained
there
untill
the
Sessions
,
which
was
on
the
4

5
dayes
of
the
8th
.
month
,
1658.
and
were
then
brought
to
the

as
soon
as
they
came
before

,
they
viz.
the

that
upon

first
of

1657.
they
being

,
were
then
convicted
that
on
the
first
of
November
1657.
they
were
at
no
Church
,
nor
Chappel
,
nor
other
place
of
publick
meeting
,
where
the
worship
and
service
of
God
was
performed
,
nor
the
Lords
day
duely
observed
,
but
wholly
neglecting
the
sanctifying
of
that
day
,
and
the
performance
of
all
Holy
and
Religious
duties
;
which
was
false
,
they
having
been
at
a
meeting
of
the
people
of
God
,
who
worshipped
God
in
the
Spirit
and
in
the
truth
,
as
the
Apostles
and
Christians
did
of
old
,
Rom.
16.5
:
as
the
Church
did
in
the
house
of
Epenetus
;
Did
not
these
worship
God
,
that
had
no
Chappel
nor
Steeple-house
,
which
the
Papists
set
up
since
their
dayes
?
then
they
asked
them
,
if
they
were
guilty
or
not
guilty
,
they
answered
they
were
not
guilty
of
any
such
thing
as
was
read
against
them
;
then
they
asked
them
,
if
they
would
be
tryed
by
a
Jury
,
they
answered
,
that
they
did
desire
to
be
tried
by
a
Jury
:
then
they
bid
them
lay
down
their
money
for
their
traverse
,
to
enter
their
plea
:
then
they
answered
them
,
they
should
not
tell
them
of
traversing
,
they
had
taken
them
from
their
outward
imployment
,
and
sent
them
to
Prison
,
and
told
them
that
they
should
know
wherefore
at
the
Sessions
,
and
now
they
were
brought
to
the
Sessions
,
&
did
desire
to
know
wherefore
they
were
sent
to
prison
,
&
also
to
be
tried
by
a
Jury
according
to
the
Law
of
this
Nation
;
but
as
for
giving
them
money
,
that
they
could
not
do
;
so
they
would
not
grant
them
a
Jury
unless
they
could
give
them
money
,
and
buy
Justice
:
they
told
them
that
Murderers
had
more
priviledge
of
the
Law
then
they
had
;
Lyonel
Brown
one
of
the
Bailiffs
said
,
that
Murderers
had
a
priviledge
above
them
:
so
then
because
they
could
not
give
them
money
,
when
as
they
had
broken
no
Law
,
they
were
sent
to
prison
again
,
committed
for
two
shillings
and
six
pence
a
piece
until
they
did
pay
it
:
Lore
Bagg
being
above
three
score
years
old
,
and
her
husband
Richard
Bagg
being
left
alone
,
all
his
Family
being
taken
from
him
,
he
being
a
mercer
,
driving
a
considerable
trade
in
the
Town
of
Brideport
,
and
which
in
this
condition
he
is
altogether
unable
to
manage
his
trade
;
and
these
were
long
kept
in
a
close
Prison
,
and
abused
,
and
suffered
hardships
,
but
the
Lord
preserveth
the
faithful
,
and
his
enemies
he
confoundeth
.
Bartholomew
Lugg
being
a
prisoner
before
,
was
called
at
the
Sessions
,
who
formerly
was
fined
,
they
told
him
his
fine
was
taken
off
,
and
he
was
to
be
freed
if
he
would
pay
fees
,
which
he
refused
to
do
,
having
broken
no
Law
,
then
he
was
taken
away
by
the
Keeper
,
and
was
afterwards
called
again
;
when
he
came
before
them
the
second
time
,
then
they
fined
him
thirteen
shillings
and
four
pence
,
for
not
putting
off
his
hat
,
and
so
sent
him
to
Prison
again
.
Nichlas
Stone
being
a
prisoner
before
,
was
brought
to
the
Sessions
,
and
a
Bill
was
read
against
him
,
wherein
was
written
,
that
he
came
into
the
Church
wilfully
and
disturbed
the
Minister
in
that
Town
;
then
they
asked
him
if
he
were
guilty
or
not
guilty
;
he
bid
them
prove
what
there
was
read
against
him
,
and
asked
if
there
were
any
that
would
prove
it
against
him
;
they
told
him
it
was
proved
already
,
but
there
was
none
came
forth
there
,
nor
elsewhere
before
him
to
prove
it
;
so
then
they
committed
him
to
the
Bridewell
to
hard
labour
for
five
Months
,
though
when
he
went
into
the
Steeple-house
he
spake
not
a
word
until
the
Priest
had
ended
.
William
Eliot
the

,
being
a
prisoner
before
the
Sessions
,

a
prisoner
as

lying

Joseph

,
was
by

which
was

as
they
said
,
to
give
sureties
for
his
appearing
at
the
Assizes
,
and
to
be
of

,
he
having
in
this
Town
in
a

day
vented
his

imaginations
in
a
publick
manner
,
tending

as
they
said
;
his
mittimus
was
dated
the
25th
.
day
of
the
second
Month
,
1657.
Here
those
blind
and
envious
men
call
good
evil
,
and
put
light
for
darkness
,
and
call
the
Word
of
the
Lord
an
Imagination
,
and
tending
to
sedition
;
even
as

kept
many
weeks
,
because
they
would
not
come
to
the
Seeple-house
;
he
did
pretend
first
it
was
because
they
did
not
get
them
Masters
to

when
one

,
there
being
that

then
she
should
go

there
,

Iohn

pulled
him
down
to
the
ground
,
and
then
caused

to
be
dragged

heels
,
and
then
took
him
up

threw
him
forth
into
the
portch

violence

that
his
head
came
first

many
supposed
he
had
been
dead
,
yet
Iohn
Fitts-Iames
commanded
the
people
to
throw
him
farther
,
and
when
few
were
so
merciless
to
abuse
him
more
,
John
Fitz-James
took
him
up
himself
,
and
so
did
help
to
hurle
him
into
his
fathers
house
,
and
there
threw
him
on
the
ground
,
and
then
set
a
guard
upon
him
,

so
made
his
fathers
house

prison
;
And
when
Francis
Taylor
went
upon
some
outward
occasion
to
the
Priests
house
,
whose
name
is
Samways
,
he
was
moved
with
envy
towards
him
,
and
having
a
professor
by
him
,
whose
name
is
William
Dighar
,
he
beat
him
,
and
thrust
him
out
of
his
house
.

Fitz-Iames
,
Walter
Foy

Frane
is
Hollis
called
Justices
,
at
Robert
Shepherds
house
at
a
privy
Sessions
in
broad
Saron
in
the
County
of
Dorset
,
who
there
demanded
of
them
,
why
they
did
not
come
to
the
place
called
the
Church
?
when
they
had
given
them
a
sufficient
answer
to
it
,
they
committed
them
to
Prison
for
wearing
their
hats
in
their
presence
;
so
this
was
their
snare
whereby
to
send
poor
men
to
Prison
,
making
their
mittimus
for
divers
and
sundry
misdemeanors
committed
in
their
presence
who
sent
them
to
Prison
,
the
next
day
being

day

then
were
brought
to

general
Sessions
,
and
there
by
them
called
Justices
at
the
Sessions
were
fined
two
pounds
a
piece
,
for
no
other
thing
,
but
for
not
putting
off
their
hats
,
and
so
were
sent
back
to
Prison
again
,
they
being
two
poor
men
,
having
five
children
a
piece
;
who
wrought
with
their
hands
to
maintain
themselves
,
their
wives
and
children
,
&
were
taken
from
their
labours
and
sent
to
prison
,
because
they
could
not
put
off
their
hats
and
bow
to
proud
men
;
Was
not
that
the
cause
that
proud
Haman
was
wroth
with
Mordecai
,
because
he
could
not
bow
to
him
?
and
Saul
though
a
King
or
Magistrate
,
yet
when
he
broke
the
Command
,
was
departed
from
the
Righteous
Law
of
God
:
then
he
said
,
honour
me
before
the
people
;
Thus
they
left
their
wives
as
widows
,
and
many
children
to
perish
for
wearing
the
hat
,
which
was
without
Law
or
mercy
.

should
then
have
his
liberty
;
but
he
being
not
free
to
make
such
a
promise
,
he
was
then
kept
also
that
night
in
the
same
Prison
,
and
the
next
morning
came
Officers
from
the
Mayor
with
a
mittimus
under
his
hand
to
take
him
forth
thence
,
and
carry
him
to
the
Prison
in
Dorche●●●
,
it
being
the
County
Prison
which
was
accordingly
done
;
so
that
he
was
imprisoned
because
he
could
not
go
out
of
the
Town
,
who
have
not
learned
to
entertain
strangers
.
Upon
the
fourth
day
of
the
first
moneth
1658.
Dorothy
Sanders
whose
outward
habitation
is
in
Weymouth
,
and
Milcom
Regis
,
was
moved
of
the
Lord
to
go
into
the
Idol
Temple
in
that
same
Town
,
to
bear
Testimony
against
the
Idol
Worship
,
and
the
Idol
Shepherd
,
he
being
a
stranger
who
was
exercising
in
the
high
place
that
day
,
who
seeing
her
come
in
,
his
countenance
fell
,
and
she
standing
silent
near
a
quarter
of
an
hour
,
and
hearing
his
vain
prayer
offered
up
from
an
evil
heart
(
which
is
an
abomination
to
the
Lord
)
she
groaned
in
the
spirit
,
and
he
that
prayed
ceased
;
then
George
Thorn
Priest
of
the
Town
sitting
near
that
place
called
the
Pulpit
where
the
other
Priest
was
exercising
,
beckened
with
his
hand
to
have
her
taken
away
,
his
flock
being
ready
to
fulfill
the
desire
of
their
leader
,
who
like
unhumane
bruit
beasts
fell
upon
her
,
and
haled
her
out
of
the
Assembly
,
and
shut
the
doors
after
her
,
and
being
in
the
street
waiting
on
the
Lord
what
to
do
farther
,
she
could
not
depart
without
going
in
again
,
which
accordingly
she
did
,
and
got
up
near
the
place
where
the
Priest
was
,
and
as
she
was
beginning
to
speak
,
the
rude
multitude
fell
on
her
as
at
the
frist
,
and
stopped
her
mouth
,
and
hurled
her
out
of
the
Steeple-house
,
and
then
Stephen
Edwards
of
Waymouth
,
and
Milcom
Regis
who
is
called
a
Bayliff
,
and
chosen
by
the
Town
to
have
done
justice
for
that
year
,
committed
her
to
prison
,
where
she
was
kept
until
the
seventh
day
of
the
same
moneth
late
at
night
,
by
which
action
Stephen
Edwards
,
who
is
called
an
elder
of
the
Priests
Church
,
did
sufficiently
manifest
his
spirit
of
cruelty
and
persecution
,
for
she
being
a
woman
of
a
very
weak
body
,
and
the
weather
so
exceeding
cold
,
she
was
brought
so
low
,
that
it
was
believed
by
all
that
came
near
her
,
that
she
would
have
lain
down
the
body
,
and
had
it
not
been
that
Stephen
Edwards
feared
that
she
would
have
died
in
prison
,
and
so
her
blood
had
lain
upon
his
head
,
it
s
likely
she
had
lain
there
long
enough
.
Here
you
may

of
that
week
,
in
the
evening
the
Lord
struck
the
said
.
Edward
Ireland
dead
suddenly
in
his
house
,
which
struck
a
dread
in
many
who
had
a
hand
in
persecuting
the
Lords
people
,
and
especially
one
Richard
Farnham
the
Constable
of
that
same
place
,
a
wicked
envious
man
,
who
hath
often
and
mali●iously
persecuted
the
Lords
People
in
that
place
,
as
afterwards
will
appear
;
this
Richard
Farnham
came
into
Edward
Irelands
house
to
see
him
at
the
cry
of
the
people
,
and
when
he
was
come
into
the
house
,
the
dread
of
the
Lord
fell
upon
him
also
,
and
he
fell
down
even
as
dead
in
the
house
;
then
many
of
the
people
that
were
gathered
together
there
ran
about
him
to
shake
him
up
,
and
after
much
striving
and
stirring
,
he
recovered
to
live
again
,
(
his
measure
of
wickednesse
being
not
yet
full
)
but
the
dread
of
the
Lord
lay
on
him
,
so
that
he
was
sick
for
some
time
after
it
,
and
then
for
a
time
the
Lords
people
had
rest
from
this
cruel
persecutor
,
who
when
he
was
again
recovered
to
health
,
soon
after
forgot
the
hand
of
the
Lord
that
fell
upon
him
,
and
went
on
maliciously
to
persecute
the
Lords
innocent
people
again
.
Upon
the
ninth
day
of
the
seventh
moneth
1657.
there
was
a
meeting
of
the
Lords
people
to
wait
upon
the
Lord
at
the
house
of
Samuel
Curtis
in
South-Periot
,
and
after
the
meeting
was
ended
,
many
Friends
not
being
past
away
,
there
came
Edward
Ireland
the
Tithing
man
,
and
the
a
forenamed
Richard
Farnham
with
several
others
,
having
a
warrant
from
one
Walter
Foy
called
a
Justice
,
to
apprehend
all
Rogues
,
Vagrants
,
wandering
persons
and
strangers
,
that
cannot
give
a
good
account
of
any
worldly
occasions
for
their
travel
,
and
under
pretence
of
this
warrant
,
they
came
into
the
house
of
Samuel
Curtis
,
and
so
made
a
disturbance
amongst
many
sober
men
,
and
did
there
examine
several
of
the
Lords
People
as
Rogues
and
Vagrants
,
because
they
were
strangers
to
them
(
when
the

and
when
he
could
not
f●nd
any
thing
to
be
evil
in
them
,
but
was
made
to
confesse
with
his
mouth
in
the
house
before
many
people
,
that
he
did
believe
that
they
were
honest
men
,
and
that
they
did
look
like
honest
me
,
yet
this
man
Edward
Ireland
examined
them
where
they
d●el●
,
who
gave
him
an
account
,
yet
neverthelesse
he
told
them
,

the
Lords

that
he
had
a
war●ant
to
apprehend
Rogues
,
Vagrants
,
wanderers

and
they
were
strangers
to

and
by
his
warrant
he
must
apprehend
them
although
he
confest
that
he
did
believe
that
they
were
honest
men
)
and
so
said
that
they
must
go
with
him
to
the
Ale-house
that
night
,
unlesse
that
they
would
pass
t●eir
words
to
him
to
be
forth
comming
the
next
morning
;
but
they
told
him
that
they
should
not
promise
him
any
such
thing
,
but
they
w●u●●
b●
free
men

if

〈…〉
Curtis
to
have
pasted
his
word
that
they
should
be
forth-coming
in
the
morning
,
but
he
refused
(
here
this
wi●●ed
man
would
have
numbred
the
Lords
Servants
who
had
been
at
a
meeting
of
the
Lords
people
,
among
Rogues
,
Vagrants
,
and
wanderers
;
but
the
servant
is
not
greater
then
his
Lord
,
for
the
captain
of
our
salvation
was
numbred
among
transgressors
)
but
this
wicked
man
being
confounded
in
himself
(
although
much
set
on
by
Richard
●a●●ham
an
envious
persecutor
of
the
Lords
people
)
he
went
away
,
saying
,
he
did
believe
they
were
honest
men
;
yet
neverthelesse
the
next
day
early
in
the
morning
,
these
men
,
Edward
Ireland
a
Tithing
man
,
and
Richard
Faraham
gathered
together
in
the
street
with
some
other
,
and
Hannah
Guier
one
of
the
●ords
people
,
who
had
been
there
at

that
night

a
place
called
East-Cokar

those
wicked
men
being
in
the

they
took
up
Hannah
Guier

brought
her
to

when

passed
away
(
whose
names
were
Jasper
Bat
,
John
Petman
,
John
Collins
,

then
Richard
Farnham
was
in
a
wicked
rage
,
and
threatened
the
Tithing-man
that
it
should
cost
him
five
pounds
,
because
he
had
not
the
last
night
secured
them
,
the
Lords
People
,
which
had
been
there
at
a
meeting
,
and
met
together
to
wait
upon
the
Lord
;
then
the
Tithing-man
got
two
men
with
him
,
viz
Henry
Gray
a
Baily

goes
about
to
arrest
men

one
Gesting

Nich●l●s
W●odworth
,
a
friend
that
was
there
of
the
meeting
,
and
haled
him
out
of
the
house
,
&
dragged
him
to
his
own
house
,
where
he
kept
him
a
prisoner
;
and
then
he
came
again
to
the
house
of
Samuel
Curtis
the
second
time
with
his
rude
company
,
and
examined
Robert
G●le
,
another
friend
what
his
businesse
was
there
that
day
,
he
answered
,
that
he
came
there
to
the
meeting
of
the
Lords
people
)
to
wait
upon
the
Lord
,
then
Richard
Farnham
demanded
of
him
a
better
account
;
then
Robert
Giles
asked
him
whether
that
was
not
a
sufficient
account
for
him
to
come
to
the
meeting
to
wait
upon
the
Lord
,
then
Richard
Farnam
said
that
it
was
a
sufficient
account
whereupon
,
he
was
at
a
stand
,
and
yet
neverthelesse
presently
after
,
with
rage
he
laid
hands
on
Robert
Giles
to
hale
him
forth
out
of
the
house
,
then
Samuel
Curtis
desired
to
know
of
Richard
Farnham
where
he
had
a
warrant
for
what
he
did
,
so
to
come
into
his
house
in
such
a
manner
and
hale
his
friends
out
of
his
house
?
but
he
answered
him
he
should
not
know
whether
he
had
a
warrant
or
not
,
then
Sam
.
Curtis
told
him
he
ought
to
shew
his
warrant
for
coming
into
his
house
in
such
a
manner
,
but
R.
Farnham
said
he
would
not
;
then
Th●mas
King
one
of
the
same
Parish
,
whose
dwelling
is
in
South-Periot
,
said
it
was
but
a
reasonable
thing
for
him
to
shew
his
warrant
;
Then
Richard
Farnham
asked
Thomas
King
whether
he
would
resist
him
,
who
answered
he
would
not
resist
him
;
then
in
his
madnesse
he
laid
his
hands
on
ROBERT
GILES
and
THOMAS
KING
both
and
haled
them
out
of
the
house
,
and
carried
them
to
his
own
house
,
where
the
other
Friend
was
,
and
set
a
guard
upon
them
,
and
kept
them
prisoners
for
near
an
hour
,
then
he
came
again
the
third
time
to
SAMUEL
CURTIS
his
house
,
the
doors
being
shut
,
and
never
demanded
to
come
into
his
house
,
but
violently
drew
open
his
doors
and
came
in
,
and
ran
up
and
down
his
house
with
his
rude
company
after
him
through
his
chambers
and
other
rooms
;
and
then
SAMUEL
CURTIS
demanded
of
him
where
he
had
a
warrant
for
what
he
did
,
for
doing
such
things
in
his
house
;
Then
Richard
Farnham
answered
and
said
,
●●e
tell
thee
that
another
time
,
and
when
he
had
hunted
up
and
down
his
house
as
one
that
hunted
for
blood
,
as
if
he
could
not
be
satisfied
soon
enough
,
he
passed
away
and
went
to
his
house
again
,
and
after
a
little
time
he
called
N●CHO●AS
Woo
WORTH
,
and
ROBERT
GILES
apart
one
at
a
time
,
and
read
an
old
warrant
that
he
had
got
which
did
belong
to
a
former
Tithing
man
the
year
before
,
which
Tithing
man
was
out
of
his
office
,
and
the
warrant
was
for
the
apprehending
of
Rogues
,
Vagrants
,
and
strangers
that
could
not
give
a
good
account
of
their
Worldly
businesse
,
and
with
this
old
warrant
he
came
to
abuse
and
disturb
the
Lords
people
,
who
had
met
together
to
wait
upon
the
Lord
,
and
then
pretended
he
had
a
warrant
to
cover
him
in
his
wickednesse
,
but
his
covering
is
too
narrow
,
it
is
seen
thorow
in
this
the
day
of
the
Lord
,
it
will
not
cover
him
,
for
●a●●
and
all
his
Generation
is
seen
,
their
coverings
will
hide
them
no
longer
;
but
at
last
,
let
them
all
three
go
again
,
having
nothing
to
say
to
either
of
them
,
nor
ought
to
accuse
them
of
.

there
came
a

violence
,
and
a
Tithing-man
behind
him
with
a

from

,
to

,
and
carried
to
a
place
called

(
about
six

)
where
John
Hodder
Priest
of
Hauck-Church
,
&
Thomas
Bampfield
called
a
Justice
came
,
who
consulting
together
,
T.
Bampfield
examined
where
they
had
been
,
they
told
him
at
a
meeting
of
the
Lords
people
to
wait
upon
the
Lord
;
then
he
demanded
where
they
were
going
,
and
SAMUEL
CURTIS
told
him
he
was
going
to
Chard
Market
,
and
from
thence
to
South
Periot
his
outward
dwelling
place
,
and
his
friend
HUMPHERY
SMITH
with
him
,
yet
neverlesse
although
he
had
not
any
thing
to
accuse
them
of
,
he
commanded
the
Constable
to
strip
them
both
naked
,
and
whipt
them
for
vagrant
persons
,
and
then
he
would
make
each
of
them
a
passe
,
and
send
them
home
from
Tithing
to
Tithing
;
Then
SAMUEL
CURTIS
being
a
Clothier
,
and
but
seven
miles
from
his
outwad
habitation
,
asked
Thomas
Bampfield
,
how
,
or
by
what
law
he
could
make
him
a
Vagrant
person
,
and
so
to
whip
him
,
he
being
a
trads-man
,
and
going
on
his
way
to
Chard
Market
on
purpose
to
buy
things
which
he
wanted
in
his
trade
,
〈◇〉
Curtis
being
a
man
of
estate
;
Bampfield
called
a
Justice
,
said
he
would
do
it
(
viz
have
him
whipt
for
a
vagrant
)
and
then
he
should
take
his
remedy
against
him
afterward
;
so
they
were
both
whipt
naked
to
the
midle
,
&
in
a
close
by
the
house
where
were
many
people
,
and
some
seeing
it
said
,
that
if
this
were
the
liberty
that
they
had
so
long
fought
for
,
they
had
fought
for
a
liberty
indeed
,
to
be
taken
up
on
the
high
way
going
to
market
&
whipt
,
and
so
sent
home
with
a
pass
for
vagrants
;
saying
also
,
if
they
do
this
already
,
what
will
they
do
next
?
SAMU●L
CU●TIS
being
known
thereabouts
,
both
to
the
man
of
the
house
and
several
others
,
the
man
of
the

is
Robert
Buridge
who
was
much
troubled
to
see
such
actions
,
which
being
done
,
one
good
book
,
and
many
good
papers
were
taken
from
us
,
and
most
of
them
burnt
by
Thomas
Bampfield
,
who
commanded
the
Constable
to
take
them
from
us
,
and
they
took
from
Samuel
Curtis
several
notes
which
were
his
accounts
,
but
they
gave
him
his
accounts
again
,
but
many
good
papers
which
Thomas
Bampfield
had
taken
from
them
which
were
for
spreading
abroad
of
the
truth
,
Thomas
Bampfield
,
burnt
in
the
fire
,
and
then
although
one
way
did
lead
to
the
place
of
their

,
as
he
called
it
,
yet
he
sent

the
twenty
third
day
of
the

as
followeth
.
They
with
some
others
,
a
little
time
before
they
were
committed
to
prison
,
were
at
the
town
of
Sherburn
,
where
HUMPHERY
SMITH
a
Servant
of
the
Lord
and
Minister
of
Jesus
Christ
had
a
meeting
,
where
they
were
unhumanely
abused
by
a
rude
multitude
,
they
not
resisting
any
in
the
least
,
were
dawbed
with
dirt
and
dung
and
the
filth
of
the
Town
,
and
many
great
stones
cast
at
them
,
some
their
heads
broak
,
some
thrown
down
on
the
ground
,
many
hundreds
compassing
them
about
with
great
shouts
and
houps
,
following
them
into
a
house
,
they
being
not
willing
to
go
forth
,
least
there
should
have
been
more
blood
shed
,
tarried
all
night
in
the
house
;
they
like
the
Sodomites
compassing
the
house
about
,
laying
wait
at
the
bridge
most
part
of

night

hearing

one
of
his
Sons
very
much
abused
,
he
got
a

from
John

;
then
John

sent
to
them
Peter
Mabber

George
Haris
to
come
before

were
abused
,
who
being
free
born

Nation
,
and
being
not
willing
to
be
murdered
by
consent
,
went
but
to
lay
the
thing
before
them
,
for
John
Fitz-James
told
them
he
would
execute
justice
upon
the
evil
doers
,
but
they
told
him
that
they
came
,
not
thither
to
have
them
punished
,
but
did
freely
forgive
them
all
as
they
then
declared
,
yet
because
they
did
not
put
off
their
hats
,
they
were
sent
to
prison
,
and
they
at
liberty
that
abused
them

John
Fitz-James
,
Walter
Foy
.
The
seventh
day
of
the
eighth
moneth
1657.
they
appeared
before
ten
or
eleven
of
them
called
Justices
at
the
general
Sessions
at
Bride-port
;
when
they
were
first
caled
forth
to
the
bar
,
they
caused
the
cryer
to
say
,
that
this
Court
did
charge
and
commanded
all
manner
of
persons
to
be
uncovered
in
the
face
of
the
Court
,
they
standing
as
before
,
because
they
did
not
put
off
their
hats
,
they
called
Justices
,
said
that
they
were
not
subject
to
authority
,
PETER
MABER
said
that
they
were
subject
to
the
Law
,
and
that
they
were
bound
over
to
answer
the
Law
without
a
Law
;
they
said
,
if
they
would
not
submit
to
the
Court
,
they
would
proceed
against
them
as
contemners
of
Authority
;
Peter
Maber
said
,
to
the
Law
they
would
be
subject
,
but
to
their
will
they
could
not
;
then
they
read
an
indictment
that
they
had
framed
against
them
;
and
were
judges
&
witnesses
themselves
,
&
they
bid
them
hold
their
peace
,
&
asked
them
whether
they
were
gilty
when
they
had
broke
no
Law
,
then
they
said
,
they
did
know
no
Law
that
they
had
broke
,
&
how
could
they
be
guilty
?
they
asked
again
by
whom
they
would
be
tryed
;
PETER
MABER
said
,
they
had
no
need
to
be
tryed
,
except
they
had
broken
the
law
;
then
they
desired
the
statute
might
be
read
that
they
had
broke
,
they
said
they
had
a
commission
from
the
Lord-Protector
;
then
they
read
something
to
them
,
but
to
fine
them
for
not
putting
off
the
hat
was
not
in
〈◇〉
,
then
they
fined
GEORGE
HARIS
ten
pound
,
and
PETER
MABER
five
pound
.
But
before
they
were
all
agreed
upon
it
,
there
was
much
whispering
one
to
another
,
and
to
the
Recorder
,
with
much
lightnesse
and
laughter
,
one
of
them
whose
name
is
Francis
●o●●is
kept
his
hand
before
his
mouth
,
that
his
laughter
might
not
be
seen
,
and
Roger
Clavi
,
one
of
them
called
Justices
,
cryed
often
give
them
the
oath
(
as
if
one
snare
at
a
time
were
not
enough
)
then
they
read
the
udgement
that
they
had
passed
on
them
,
&
read
their
names
in
a
confused
manner
,
calling
them
by
other
nams
;
then
they
which
before
laughed
at
them
,
laughed
one
at
another
to
hear
them
called
out
of
their
names
,
and
so
made
sport
of
the
innocent
;
their
m●ttimu●
was
made
by
a
Quartermaster
of
the
late
Kings
army
,
who
is
often
imployed
to
be
their
Clerk
,
and
they
who
ever
have
been
faithful
to
the
States
,
having
much
arrears
behind
,
have
this
for
their
reward
.

he
had
prayed
for
:
at
the
first
he
have
her
no
answer
as
shee
remembers
;
then
shee
asked
him
again
,
and
he
answered
,
I
might
:
then
sh●e
mention
d
that
he
had
prayed
,
that
they
might
walk
as
Christ
had
walked
holy
;
to
which
he
answered
,
That
they
had
a
promise
for
it
,
he
granted
that
they
might
so
walk
in
a
proportion
:
shee
said
that
Christs
wal
was
without
sin
,
Christs
walk
was
a
perfect
walk
,
and
that
he
had
owned
perfection
:
Further
shee
saith
,
shee
having
received
a
message
from
the
Lord
of
Hosts
for
to
declare
among
them
,
as
shee
was
declaring
of
it
,
the
said
John
Hodder
was
speaking
of
Officers
,
and
before
that
shee
was
gone
out
of
the
Publick
House
,
he
said
that
he
was
sorry
that
the
Officers
had
no
more
care
;
shee
went
away
to
a
friends
House
,
where
shee
had
lodged
the
night
before
,
where
shee
had
not
been
long
before
;
one
of
the
Officers
came
thither
,
and
questioned
●er
concerning
her
speaking
in
the
Publick
,
and
told
her
that
shee
must
answer
it
;
so
he
went
away
again
,
after
dinner
he
came
again
,
and
brought
the
Act
with
him
,
by
vertue
of
which
he
commanded
her
to
go
with
him
,
which
command
she
obeyed
;
so
he
would
have
her
to
go
into
the
said
John
Hodders
House
,
which
she
did
;
but
John
Hodder
was
much
inraged
for
it
,
and
said
that
he
had
nothing
to
say
to
her
,
and
that
he
was
not
to
receive
such
into
his
House
;
and
gave
the
Officer
a
charge
of
her
,
and
bid
her
go
out
of
his
doors
;
so
shee
was
kept
Prisoner
part
of
that
day
,
at
a
House
where
there
was
Bear
to
be
sold
,
afterwards
she
was
let
go
to
the
friends
House
again
untill
the
next
morning
,
then
shee
was
compelled
for
to
go
about
some
6.
miles
,
to
one
of
them
called
Justices
,
where
the
said
John
Hodder
came
for
to
accuse
her
,
where
he
complained
that
shee
had
much
disturbed
his
Congregation
,
so
shee
demanded
of
him
what
evill
shee
had
done
?
he
told
her
that
a
Woman
must
not
speak
in
the
Church
;
shee
denied
it
to
be
the
voyce
of
the
Woman
that
spake
,
shee
said
it
was
the
voyce
of
the
Spirit
of
God
that
spake
;
shee
asked
him
what
Law
Paul
had
for
a
Woman
if
shee
did
spake
in
the
Church
?
he
told
her
that
Paul
had
no
Law
,
but
that
Paul
did
wish
that
he
had
had
a
Law
:
so
after
many
more
words
had
past
both
with
him
,
and
him
called
Justice
,
it
was
ordered
that
she
should
go
back
again
to
Haw-Church
that
night
,
and
there
shee
was
to
be
whipt
untill
the
bloud
did
come
,
which
thing
was
done
the
next
morning
early
,
shee
received
many
cruel
bloudy
stripes
,
and
so
was
sent
home
with
a
Pass
from
Tithing
to
Tithing
.
But
the
bloud
of
her
and
many
more
,
will
not
satisfie
the
Priests
.
Behold
the
wicked
shall
be
as
chaffe
,
and
the
Enemies
of
the
Lamb
as
dust
,
for
ever
a
perpetual
shame
shall
cover
them
all
for
ever
,
and
the
Lambs
shall
spring
up
and
flourish
in
the
power
of
the
Fathers
love
,
and
the
devourer
shall
cease
,
and
the
faithfull
shall
multiply
,
and
righteousnesse
shall
flourish
for
ever
,
and
a
bed
of
torment
is
prepared
for
the
persecutors
,
and
all
the
wicked
whose
day
is
come
.
THE
END
