Gentlemen
,
and
Countrimen
,
I
Am
here
engaged
in
a
Relation
of
some
Consequence
,
and
to
represent
a
Deceit
in
the
holy
men
(
so
called
)
of
this
our
Nation
.
I
think
I
have
not
swerv'd
from
truth
,
since
it
concernes
me
to
speak
no
more
then
I
can
make
good
:
If
I
have
,
Let
my
Allegiance
,
whole
Estate
,
and
Fortune
,
lye
at
Stake
for
my
Justification
.
It
is
requisite
I
should
first
give
you
some
satisfaction
as
to
their
persons
,
next
●s
to
their
Actions
.
They
are
a
sort
of
people
whose
pretended
singularity
of
gifts
,
and
graces
,
do
particularize
,
and
sever
from
the
Conversation
of
the
Honest
:
And
like
the
Pharisees
,
will
,
sapere
supra
Scriptum
,
supra
Evangelium
,
&
Patres
;
from
whence
I
suppose
they
deduce
the
Etymology
of
their
name
,
or
word
of
Distinction
,
viz.
Separation
,
otherwise
Quaker
.
Their
Tenen●s
are
Liberty
of
Conscience
,
in
what
Capacity
soever
,
either
with
,
or
without
the
respect
of
Men●●
,
&
Tuum
;
and
Lex
Talionis
,
so
far
as
concerns
themselves
.
But
yet
a
People
,
if
all
they
say
of
themselves
be
true
,
very
devout
,
and
zealous
,
towards
God
and
their
Country
;
which
,
in
the
fear
of
the
Lord
,
I
should
be
very
free
to
believe
were
not
their
Simulata
Sanctitas
,
Duplex
Iniquitas
.
Now
least
I
might
give
Offence
to
the
rest
of
the
Society
,
and
that
they
may
not
ask
me
how
I
should
know
this
,
I
am
free
to
say
,
I
know
it
either
Ex
Capite
,
or
Ex
Pede
,
from
their
cunning
,
and
insinuating
,
Pates
,
or
by
their
light
Heels
,
in
running
away
from
that
Tribulation
they
do
so
much
magnifie
.
The
Particulars
whereof
I
shall
treat
from
the
beginning
,
together
with
the
several
transactions
,
as
followeth
,
viz.
The
last
Goale-delivery
at
Hartford
(
except
one
)
gave
these
Humourists
the
honor
of
being
known
to
their
King
and
Country
,
where
the
Honorable
Bench
(
according
to
the
Old
Position
,
Ubi
desinit
Philosophus
incipit
Medicus
)
turned
Physitians
,
and
though
that
change
of
Aire
might
do
them
good
,
and
help
their
Chilification
better
then
this
,
which
made
them
disgorge
Crudities
.
In
order
whereunto
one
Mr.
Edmonds
,
Goal-Keeper
of
Hertford
,
had
power
to
treat
for
their
Transportation
:
which
he
did
with
one
Mr.
Thomas
May
,
who
then
had
a
concern
in
the
Ship
,
called
the
Anne
of
London
,
now
bound
for
the
Barbadoes
and
Jamaica
.
Mr.
May
having
not
seen
the
Creatures
,
soon
agreed
for
their
Transportation
,
and
accordingly
they
were
brought
up
to
London
,
viz.
Nicholas
Lucas
,
Henry
Feast
,
Henry
Marshall
,
Francis
Pryor
,
John
Bindet
,
Jeremiah
Hearne
,
and
Samuel
Treherne
.
Mr.
May
as
a
thing
usual
in
such
Cases
amongst
Seafaring
men
,
askt
them
if
they
were
willing
to
go
with
him
,
not
knowing
(
as
he
pretended
)
till
afterwards
that
they
were
convicted
persons
.
And
finding
an
haesitation
,
after
their
usual
dumb
way
of
Oratory
,
he
refused
to
carry
them
.
Complaint
hereupon
was
made
unto
his
Majesties
Secretary
Sir
William
Morris
,
and
by
a
Messenger
Mr.
May
was
sent
for
,
and
examined
for
his
Contempt
;
and
being
obstinate
in
his
Refusal
,
he
was
sent
to
the
Gate-house
Prison
,
where
he
continued
some
time
.
Mr.
May
knowing
me
to
be
a
person
very
much
concerned
in
the
Affairs
of
the
Ship
,
and
knowing
that
it
was
my
friends
,
and
interest
,
that
put
him
into
that
Charge
;
desired
,
that
I
would
endeavor
to
procure
his
Liberty
,
which
upon
Petition
to
the
Secretary
I
effected
;
And
entred
into
Bond
unto
his
Majesty
of
Seven
hundred
pounds
for
their
Transportation
,
and
delivery
at
the
places
assigned
,
viz.
Barbadoes
,
and
Jamaica
,
which
I
would
have
performed
,
had
not
their
treachery
,
Mr.
May's
folly
,
and
the
Officers
of
Deale
denying
me
their
assistance
,
prevented
me
.
The
Ship
staying
for
some
time
in
the
River
Thames
,
the
aforenamed
Quakers
were
secured
in
Houses
on
Tower-hill
,
to
be
forth
coming
when
the
Ship
should
be
ready
,
or
when
they
should
be
commanded
aboard
;
in
the
mean
time
Treherne
slips
down
to
Hertford
,
and
in
opposition
to
the
Magistrates
and
Officers
of
the
Town
;
he
rides
about
like
anothet
Naylor
at
Bristow
,
giving
God
thanks
that
he
was
delivered
from
their
hands
,
and
that
now
they
had
done
their
worst
.
Sir
Francis
Butler
(
as
he
hath
prov'd
himself
a
Loyal
Person
to
his
King
and
Country
)
thought
himself
concerned
in
this
Discourse
,
and
thereupon
sends
for
Treherne
by
his
man
,
desiring
him
to
come
to
him
,
who
replyed
,
That
if
Francis
Butler
had
any
thing
to
say
to
him
,
he
should
come
himself
.
Is
this
their
Loyalty
and
obedience
to
the
King
and
Government
?
Sir
Francis
Butler
,
as
a
Justice
of
peace
,
grants
out
a
Warrant
to
apprehend
him
,
and
by
a
Constable
sizies
on
him
,
and
sends
him
to
Prison
,
his
old
house
,
where
he
shewed
that
face
,
that
would
have
hanged
him
,
had
not
my
charity
drawn
me
to
an
act
of
pity
not
not
since
merited
.
Secretary
Morrice
hath
notice
hereof
,
and
by
a
Messenger
sends
for
me
,
where
I
received
a
severe
chek
,
and
afterwards
rode
down
to
Hertford
and
their
petitioned
the
Bench
for
his
inlargement
,
which
with
much
adoe
I
obtained
,
bearing
my
own
charges
down
,
and
there
for
his
fees
,
and
brought
him
up
to
London
with
me
;
For
which
kindness
there
was
a
great
seeming
resentment
yet
since
have
their
Actions
manifested
them
savage
beasts
bred
up
to
hand
,
who
being
received
into
a
mans
bosome
have
the
more
opportunity
to
do
him
harme
.
The
Ship
afterwards
fell
down
to
Gravesend
,
where
I
found
nothing
but
their
cunning
flattery
and
treacherous
insinations
.
From
thence
we
went
to
Deale
where
they
compleated
their
stratagem
and
shewed
what
themselves
and
the
rest
of
their
Opinion
are
.
For
noscitur
ex
socio
qui
non
dignoscitur
ex
se
.
Here
was
their
Principles
and
Integrity
first
manifested
.
Here
was
their
willingness
to
suffer
for
their
Conscience
first
shown
?
What
do
they
distrust
God
,
did
they
think
the
God
of
Land
and
Sea
was
not
the
same
?
They
are
not
like
Paul
,
who
notwithstanding
he
knew
he
should
be
imprisoned
at
Ierusalem
,
yet
would
he
not
refuse
,
or
alter
his
his
journey
thither
;
see
in
the
Acts
21.
chap.
But
I
do
find
their
devotion
is
onely
in
words
and
are
such
persons
the
Apostle
speaks
of
in
the
,
2
Tim
.
2.
and
3.
ver
.
Who
have
a
form
of
godliness
but
deny
the
power
.
Saints
to
appearance
,
yet
keep
they
a
Reservation
perfas
aut
nefas
to
accomplish
their
ends
:
But
I
shall
speak
hereafter
more
of
that
after
I
have
given
you
an
Account
of
their
Actions
.
The
Ship
remained
about
a
Moneth
in
the
Downs
,
being
all
fitted
and
expecting
nothing
but
a
fair
wind
to
carry
her
forth
;
and
so
least
provision
should
fall
short
by
the
way
,
the
Quakers
and
rest
of
the
passengers
had
liberty
to
go
a
shore
,
but
with
a
proviso
to
be
in
a
readiness
upon
command
to
go
aboard
,
as
soon
as
the
wind
should
serve
,
which
was
consented
unto
;
And
on
the
27.
day
of
November
we
had
a
fair
wind
,
and
I
accordingly
went
to
command
them
aboard
,
where
I
found
but
four
of
the
seven
,
the
rest
were
fled
upon
a
design
as
you
shall
know
hereafter
;
these
other
four
with
all
the
faire
words
and
kindness
I
could
,
I
desired
and
commanded
aboard
,
but
found
them
Refractory
to
my
requests
,
refusing
to
go
with
me
without
a
Note
from
Mr.
May
,
who
as
then
had
nothing
to
do
with
them
,
nor
the
Ship
,
but
only
subservient
to
me
:
But
to
remove
that
Remora
,
I
sent
for
May's
note
to
Commade
them
aboard
which
accordingly
I
had
,
yet
would
not
this
serve
then
,
unless
he
came
himself
,
they
then
promising
that
they
would
go
with
him
,
without
in
the
least
manner
mentioning
any
of
their
exceptions
,
or
his
giving
of
any
such
note
as
they
pretend
.
After
sometime
Mr.
May
came
and
both
desired
,
and
commanded
them
aboard
,
the
Deputy
of
Deale
being
then
present
,
but
they
then
Replyed
they
would
not
;
and
that
they
had
a
discharge
under
his
hand
,
and
that
he
had
no
more
to
do
with
them
,
and
that
they
had
now
waited
upon
me
from
London
to
Deale
,
and
would
now
wait
upon
no
longer
,
giving
me
very
unseemly
and
reproachful
language
;
But
this
would
not
serve
their
turns
:
I
told
them
,
that
they
had
promised
all
to
go
with
me
,
and
they
should
.
As
for
Mayes
Not
I
valued
it
not
,
knowing
that
none
could
give
them
a
discharge
but
the
King
,
and
if
they
would
not
goe
by
fair
means
,
they
should
go
by
compulsion
;
the
which
to
the
utmost
of
my
power
I
used
.
But
not
being
able
my self
,
with
two
of
my
Seamen
,
In
his
Majesties
Name
I
commanded
the
Deputy
,
and
such
other
Officers
,
as
I
could
finde
out
in
the
Town
,
to
aid
and
assist
me
;
but
they
wilfully
refused
it
,
and
were
palpably
instrumental
in
their
escape
.
All
which
I
will
by
sufficient
testimonies
make
appear
,
when
ever
required
:
as
also
that
by
reason
of
their
not
going
,
I
have
lost
my
Concerns
in
the
Ship
to
my
utter
ruine
.
And
the
world
might
know
upon
what
account
I
stayed
,
t
is
this
;
first
to
manifest
the
treachery
of
these
,
as
they
term
themselvs
,
innocent
persons
;
and
in
the
next
,
that
in
my
absence
,
I
would
not
have
that
blot
laid
upon
me
,
which
I
do
not
deserve
.
Now
a
word
to
you
,
the
holy
Brethren
of
the
Nation
(
called
Quakers
)
what
is
it
we
clog
to
your
Consciences
to
break
promise
;
Do
you
not
know
that
every
sin
in
you
is
a
Complication
of
many
,
the
whole
body
of
you
being
concerned
therein
,
who
like
Sydra's
heads
,
admit
of
no
seperation
.
Why
did
you
attend
the
Ship
and
me
to
Gravesend
,
and
from
thence
to
the
Downes
?
why
did
you
give
me
thanks
for
my
kindness
to
you
all
,
and
especially
for
my
kindness
to
you
at
Hertsor
d
why
did
you
promise
to
attend
me
,
to
be
my
true
and
faithful
Prisoners
,
and
to
go
on
bo●rd
with
me
whensoever
I
should
require
you
?
why
would
you
lye
in
the
Spirit
,
and
not
performe
these
things
?
The
Apostles
never
did
so
:
Let
God
and
the
world
judge
of
my
actions
,
could
I
have
done
more
for
men
then
I
have
done
for
you
.
What
did
you
want
in
the
Ship
which
you
had
not
?
had
you
not
the
best
Cabin
,
did
you
not
lye
upon
new
Beds
,
which
I
bought
for
my
own
Advantage
and
Traffick
and
not
for
you
,
whilst
I
my self
lay
upon
the
Boards
?
Did
not
I
ride
to
Hertford
to
serve
you
?
Did
not
I
make
it
my
businesse
and
expence
to
oblige
you
?
Did
I
deny
you
any
Liberty
,
or
Freedom
,
but
when
you
refused
to
obey
the
Kings
Commands
?
I
'le
take
God
and
your
own
Consciences
to
witnesse
,
I
did
not
.
Were
you
but
too
civilly
used
,
when
you
had
your
Liberty
to
go
ashore
at
Deale
,
due
ring
our
abode
there
?
Or
did
your
Religion
allow
of
a
Fraud
in
that
Case
?
did
my
kindnesses
,
whereof
heretofore
you
have
made
large
Acknowledgments
,
deserve
to
be
requited
thus
.
Is
this
your
integrity
?
are
these
your
upright
de●lings
?
Or
is
it
only
a
fit
of
the
Old
man
;
to
shew
that
the
Devil
hath
not
lost
all
his
power
of
you
?
What
will
the
World
think
of
your
Treachery
,
what
will
they
say
when
they
see
Mr.
May's
,
or
rather
your
own
Discharge
?
what
can
they
say
,
but
that
he
was
Drunk
,
or
not
himself
,
and
so
you
got
his
hand
to
what
you
pleased
?
The
which
I
will
make
appear
by
the
Testimonies
of
above
a
Dozen
persons
.
As
also
the
grand
Impertinencies
,
and
fabulous
Narrations
therein
contained
,
not
one
material
word
thereof
being
true
.
Which
Discharge
,
for
the
satisfaction
of
the
World
,
I
have
here
incerted
verbatim
;
and
will
with
Gods
leave
demonstrate
the
absurdities
and
incongruities
therein
conteined
.
It
followes
in
these
words
,
(
viz.
)
Whereas
there
was
seven
men
called
Quakers
,
brought
aboard
my
Ship
called
the
Anne
of
London
by
William
Edmonds
Goaler
of
Hertford
,
to
say
,
Nicholas
Lucas
,
Henry
Feart
,
Henry
Marshal
,
Francis
Pryor
,
John
Bindet
,
Jeremiah
Hearne
,
and
Samuel
Treherne
,
all
which
have
continued
waiting
upon
my
Ship
f
om
London
to
Deale
,
from
the
fourth
day
of
Septemb
.
last
,
till
this
day
.
And
I
seeing
providence
hath
much
crost
me
hitherto
,
whereby
I
perceive
that
the
hand
of
the
Lord
is
against
me
,
that
I
dare
not
proceed
on
my
Voyage
to
carry
them
,
they
being
Innocent
Persons
,
and
no
Crime
signified
against
them
worthy
of
banishment
;
And
that
there
is
a
Law
in
force
,
that
no
English
man
shall
be
banished
out
of
his
Nation
contrary
,
against
his
will
.
And
also
my
men
refuse
to
go
the
Voyage
,
if
I
carry
them
,
which
will
be
much
to
my
hinderance
,
men
being
very
scarce
by
reason
of
the
long
continued
Presse
.
For
these
Reasons
therefore
,
and
many
more
,
I
will
not
carry
them
.
These
are
therefore
to
Certifie
any
person
or
persons
that
shall
Question
them
,
or
any
of
them
,
that
they
did
not
make
an
Escape
,
but
I
put
them
on
shore
again
to
go
whither
they
please
.
All
this
is
Certified
under
my
own
hand
the
10.
day
of
November
,
1664.
Thomas
May

What
,
have
you
now
fool'd
your selves
to
the
Barbadoes
,
and
now
think
this
Evasion
would
serve
your
turnes
?
and
that
yours
which
is
the
meer
Fantasie
,
or
Shadow
of
a
Religion
,
would
hold
good
with
those
that
understand
the
difference
betwixt
somthing
,
and
nothing
.
And
so
you
would
passe
amongst
those
that
suffer
for
the
Truth
.
You
erre
in
the
manner
of
your
Worship
,
and
if
God
should
ask
,
who
required
this
at
your
hands
,
you
would
answer
with
a
Non
putaram
.
Why
do
you
strive
to
varnish
your
Innocence
,
by
Justification
,
if
you
are
not
guilty
you
need
begg
no
excuse
,
neither
need
you
seek
the
popular
applause
,
if
you
can
make
it
out
with
God
.
You
cry
out
the
Judgment
of
God
was
against
us
,
for
medling
with
innocent
persons
.
Go
you
prophane
Fools
,
if
your
Assertions
were
true
,
you
mistake
when
you
exposite
the
ends
of
Gods
Judgments
;
you
might
rather
think
it
was
for
our
ill
belief
,
in
crusting
such
Hypocrites
as
you
.
T
was
now
after
the
getting
of
this
your
lying
illegal
Discharge
,
that
the
3
M●chivillian
Em●ssaries
stole
away
from
Deale
to
London
,
to
publish
the
wonderful
works
of
God
on
the
Seas
,
how
averse
the
heavens
were
to
their
Transportation
,
and
the
Providence
of
God
in
their
delivery
:
stories
as
strange
as
that
of
Cassiopeia's
Chaire
,
or
the
Phainomena
,
then
which
there
cannot
be
a
veri●r
nothing
.
't
was
somthing
strange
Mr.
May
should
complain
,
Providence
should
so
cross
him
in
his
designes
,
when
as
then
he
was
neither
concerned
with
,
nor
in
the
Ship
,
during
her
passage
from
London
to
Gravesend
,
or
from
thence
to
the
Downs
;
neither
was
he
there
for
some
considerable
time
after
.
't
is
true
there
was
one
Capt
.
Green
,
Master
of
the
Ship
called
the
Barbadoes
Merchant
,
who
had
been
a
Month
before
us
there
,
that
put
to
Sea
five
times
,
and
by
extremity
of
weather
was
beaten
in
again
,
yet
was
it
not
so
with
us
;
we
lay
at
Anchor
with
half
a
Cable
,
half
the
strength
,
whilst
others
had
a
whole
one
.
If
this
be
your
Providence
,
you
have
made
the
most
of
it
.
Was
any
of
our
Cordage
broke
,
did
it
run
aground
,
as
several
other
Ships
did
,
during
our
being
there
?
or
did
it
suffer
any
Damage
by
the
weather
?
why
should
you
then
seek
to
cheat
the
people
,
why
should
you
lye
in
the
Face
of
Almighty
God
,
are
not
these
things
untruths
?
why
should
you
then
encourage
your
Fancies
,
in
designing
Circumstances
of
so
great
Falshood
.
What
,
hath
not
your
Principles
given
you
strength
enough
to
rejoyce
in
Tribulation
?
cannot
you
,
as
the
three
Children
,
sing
in
the
fire
;
Or
as
Paul
and
Silas
in
the
Stocks
?
Whilst
you
are
feasted
in
Prisons
,
you
can
indure
this
Severity
:
Banishment
is
too
hard
a
Sentence
for
a
tender
Conscience
.
Why
do
you
play
the
Hippocrites
thus
?
Don't
you
count
your
merit
more
,
or
lesse
,
according
to
your
sufferings
?
Why
did
you
not
gaine
Heaven
by
Banishment
?
durst
not
you
trust
Gods
Promises
upon
so
dear
a
score
?
can
you
not
part
with
England
,
and
your
holy
Sisters
,
for
your
God
?
Does
not
your
C●nscience
tell
you
the
more
innocently
you
suffer
,
the
more
effectual
is
your
Justification
before
God
?
why
then
do
you
blow
Trumpets
like
the
Pharisees
,
when
you
give
Almes
,
or
do
good
Acts
?
why
do
you
justifie
your selves
before
men
,
do
you
not
receive
your
reward
here
?
See
what
St
Mathew
sayes
to
you
,
Math
.
23.
and
28.
Even
so
ye
also
appear
righteous
unto
men
,
but
within
you
are
full
of
hypocrisie
and
iniquity
.
Why
then
will
you
say
there
is
no
Crime
signified
against
you
,
worthy
of
Banishment
?
you
pretend
you
will
suffer
all
things
,
why
then
are
you
so
willing
to
Cite
a
Law
so
f●r
from
the
purpose
?
Is
not
there
a
new
Law
for
new
Crimes
?
we
had
no
Quakers
in
those
times
.
But
now
I
perceive
where
you
would
be
;
you
would
not
go
against
your
wills
,
you
would
suffer
punishment
provided
it
be
here
in
England
.
What
does
your
Brotherhood
think
that
change
of
Aire
wiil
change
your
Opinion
?
or
that
like
men
religiously
drunk
,
after
a
Nap
you
would
come
to
your selves
again
?
why
else
have
they
so
often
petitioned
for
you
?
why
have
they
used
such
means
to
get
you
off
?
why
have
your selves
used
such
treachery
?
what
,
have
you
graveld
your
consciences
,
have
you
no
remorse
?
You
scorne
your selves
to
petition
for
mercy
,
but
your
Brothers
shall
;
what
a
trick
this
is
to
blinde
the
World
?
do
not
we
know
that
he
which
doth
it
by
another
,
doth
it
himself
?
and
though
you
do
not
desire
favour
your selves
,
yet
you
consent
,
procure
,
and
aid
another
,
to
do
it
for
you
.
How
can
you
say
the
Seamen
were
against
going
?
was
their
consent
ever
asked
?
how
can
you
own
such
a
falshood
?
Did
not
two
of
them
help
me
to
drag
you
into
the
Boat
.
't
is
strange
if
they
should
so
soon
tack
about
,
or
can
any
body
imagine
these
persons
that
are
so
forward
for
your
going
,
should
be
by
you
thought
to
be
against
it
.
How
can
you
certifie
any
person
,
that
you
made
not
your
escape
?
did
not
three
of
you
run
the
Country
,
whilst
the
other
four
appeared
walking
upon
the
Be●ch
,
to
blind
my
eyes
?
if
you
thought
this
Certificate
a
Discharge
sufficient
,
why
did
you
not
all
go
?
What
signifies
this
Discharge
,
how
unjustly
soever
gotten
it
appears
?
what
will
you
do
with
it
?
it
will
be
no
Record
for
you
in
Heaven
,
nor
Protection
for
you
here
.
In
penning
and
procuring
whereof
,
you
have
done
as
the
Thief
that
stole
the
plague
from
Athens
:
you
have
made
a
Rod
for
your selves
:
Did
you
not
know
that
it
lay
not
in
May's
power
to
release
you
?
and
that
at
the
time
the
Discharge
was
given
,
May
had
not
any
thing
to
do
with
the
Ship
,
men
,
or
any
other
thing
therein
conteined
,
but
as
a
Substitute
to
me
,
so
that
he
could
not
have
done
it
without
my
consent
likewise
obtained
.
And
further
,
that
it
lay
not
in
our
powers
to
make
such
a
Note
or
Discharge
;
and
that
none
but
his
Majesty
could
rec●l
your
Banishment
,
or
Discharge
us
of
our
Engagements
for
your
Transportation
;
is
this
a
sin
of
ignorance
?
We
need
no
more
of
your
Rhetor●ck
,
nor
those
false
ascribed
Encomiums
of
your
sincerity
and
upright
dealings
with
all
persons
.
Let
people
judge
of
you
by
your
actions
,
where
like
Juglers
you
have
cheated
all
,
by
casting
a
mist
before
their
eyes
.
Where
now
is
your
puritanical
B●nd
?
Where
is
your
affected
carelesness
?
who
is
it
you
now
condemn
for
pride
,
deceit
and
prophanesse
?
who
now
do
you
judge
for
idle
words
?
have
you
nothing
to
say
for
your selves
?
what
do
you
think
of
the
phrase
,
Luke
18.
was
he
not
a
good
,
just
and
honest
man
of
your
Opinion
.
Are
not
your
principles
to
give
every
man
his
due
,
to
do
now
ong
to
any
body
,
nor
to
let
any
man
suffer
any
wrong
for
you
,
not
to
the
loss
of
one
haire
of
their
heads
,
have
you
made
this
good
is
one
word
of
it
true
?
Is
this
your
charity
and
Brotherly
love
,
is
this
your
following
of
the
Letter
,
you
will
by
no
means
swear
,
nor
lye
at
all
to
speak
on
,
except
it
concern
your
private
good
,
or
the
propagating
the
Number
of
the
Saints
of
this
our
age
.
Come
,
come
,
be
wise
and
consider
that
those
that
instiled
those
principles
in
you
,
had
a
farther
design
,
and
that
you
might
be
the
more
pliable
,
they
did
resolve
to
Level
all
things
,
that
they
might
set
up
some
New
thing
of
their
own
,
like
another
Mahomet
with
his
Pidgeons
and
Falling-sickness
instead
of
inspiration
.
What
needed
those
delayes
amongst
the
godly
,
would
your
stiffe-limb'd
holinesse
allow
of
so
many
idle
words
,
why
did
you
not
at
first
tell
me
of
your
pretended
discharge
,
why
would
you
lye
before
God
and
men
,
when
you
said
you
would
go
upon
sight
of
a
Note
from
Mr.
May
,
and
why
went
you
not
when
it
came
.
Why
did
you
promise
to
go
if
he
should
come
himself
and
desire
you
,
and
when
he
came
and
commanded
you
aboard
,
why
went
you
not
or
why
did
you
say
you
would
?
Had
you
not
the
liberty
to
speak
,
or
were
you
ashamed
to
own
your
contrivance
before
you
were
force●
?
But
I
pitie
your
ignorance
,
that
being
Created
after
the
Image
of
God
,
you
should
know
his
Call
no
better
,
that
you
should
know
your selves
not
better
,
that
you
should
not
know
to
what
end
you
were
created
,
that
you
should
not
know
the
difference
betwixt
a
man
and
a
beast
?
doth
not
your
will
make
you
a
man
,
why
therefore
did
you
not
resolve
me
at
first
,
whether
you
would
or
would
not
,
It
is
an
ill
signe
of
truth
when
p●ople
use
Circumlocutions
.
But
hitherto
tended
your
policie
,
the
wind
you
knew
was
good
,
the
Merchants
and
Passengers
would
be
impatient
and
the
Ship
could
not
stay
,
unless
it
would
stand
the
hazzard
of
being
protested
against
,
which
you
imagined
to
us
would
be
of
a
greater
conse●●uence
then
your
carriage
.
And
that
the
●est
of
the
Fleet
being
gone
we
could
not
●●ay
long
behind
.
This
was
that
made
you
use
a
double
Tongue
,
this
was
the
time
to
make
all
your
shifts
.
And
if
that
you
could
spin
out
any
discourse
for
an
hour
,
it
were
sufficient
?
Did
you
do
like
Saints
in
this
,
or
do
you
think
you
have
escap't
this
danger
without
expectance
of
a
worse
.
Be
it
to
you
as
you
deserve
,
Did
I
not
stay
the
Ship
from
two
of
the
Clock
Sunday
morning
,
until
Tuesday
morning
,
did
not
I
use
the
interest
of
the
Merchants
Passengers
?
did
not
I
my self
perswade
you
,
telling
you
the
danger
of
going
back
again
,
and
that
you
would
be
tryed
as
Felons
?
did
not
I
tell
you
,
that
if
you
refused
to
go
,
you
would
undoe
me
and
above
halfe
a
score
more
?
Did
the
Ship
refuse
to
carry
you
,
or
did
I
yet
,
would
not
all
this
move
your
evil
genius
to
a
compliance
?
Did
not
I
use
all
the
vigour
I
could
to
force
you
aboard
,
did
I
not
charge
the
Deputy
and
Townsmen
in
the
Kings
Name
(
though
in
vain
)
to
aid
and
assist
me
?
did
not
I
take
you
all
and
throw
you
into
the
Boat
,
and
unless
I
had
nailed
your
feet
to
the
plancks
,
I
could
not
have
done
more
.
From
whence
though
you
went
not
freely
in
,
you
could
freely
runne
out
What
did
you
think
the
Boat
was
made
of
Irish
Wood
,
and
that
no
venomous
Creature
could
I
ve
upon
it
,
why
else
would
not
you
rema●n
here
,
why
would
not
you
stay
the
tenth
part
of
a
quarter
of
an
houre
,
what
would
not
your
pa●i●nce
or
your
pain
suffer
you
to
stay
till
my
Seamen
could
fit
their
Oares
.
What
made
you
fall
all
along
upon
the
Beech-stones
,
was
it
out
of
Devotion
,
or
in
expectation
of
the
Text
,
Mat
.
3.
and
9
Or
did
you
think
to
be
carried
into
the
Boat
by
the
Spirit
.
Did
you
ever
produce
this
discharge
of
Mr.
May
?
was
it
ever
openly
read
or
acknowledged
by
Mr.
May
when
he
was
himself
,
was
it
drawn
by
a
publique
Notary
,
was
not
it
done
in
a
common
Alehouse
,
and
signed
by
your
own
Creatures
?
And
though
I
cannot
justifie
Mr.
Mayes
doing
thereof
in
any
place
,
yet
,
I
think
inter
pocula
so
severe
a
Censure
as
that
by
the
understanding
people
of
this
Nation
will
be
thought
but
an
elevation
of
the
Pole
.
But
yet
let
me
speak
this
concerning
Mr.
May
,
and
I
would
have
the
world
know
so
much
,
that
however
he
hath
carried
himself
in
that
businesse
,
yet
his
concealing
thereof
from
me
all
thar
while
,
and
for
several
other
Accounts
,
he
hath
proved
himself
a
Rogue
,
and
a
Villain
,
the
which
I
have
not
mist
a
Opportunity
all
this
while
to
tell
him
of
;
and
with
his
Crocodiles
tears
he
hath
acknowledged
it
with
more
Grace
,
I
suppose
,
then
I
can
expect
from
you
.
But
now
again
to
you
Hypocrites
:
Let
the
world
know
what
you
have
done
for
the
Truth
and
your
Conscience
,
(
as
you
pretend
)
you
'l
say
you
have
suffered
Imprisonment
,
losse
of
Libertie
,
and
the
not
enjoyment
of
the
Bodie
.
But
why
persisted
you
not
unto
the
end
?
why
do
you
like
Peter
deny
your
Principles
when
there
is
most
need
of
Justification
?
why
do
you
turn
back
like
Lot's
wife
?
see
what
you
have
merited
,
see
what
St.
Luke
promises
you
as
a
reward
,
Luke
17.
and
33.
Whosoever
seeks
to
save
his
life
,
shall
lose
it
;
and
whosoever
shall
lose
his
Life
,
shall
preserve
it
.
What
,
did
you
think
your selves
sent
as
Sacrifices
?
why
did
you
not
then
thank
God
for
his
Offer
,
and
like
another
Abraham
,
make
an
example
of
your
Faith
?
Will
you
tell
me
again
you
have
Wives
,
and
Children
,
and
Families
?
and
that
it
is
an
unjust
thing
that
Free
borne
Subjects
should
be
banished
for
no
apparent
Crime
;
what
then
,
will
you
quit
the
Banners
of
Christ
to
stay
at
home
?
See
in
Math
.
10.
and
37.
What
could
I
expect
when
you
refused
to
go
with
me
unto
the
Boat
,
but
that
your
Faith
had
been
like
Peters
,
and
that
you
would
have
walkt
to
the
Ship
upon
the
face
of
the
water●
?
But
you
have
deceived
the
world
&
me
,
and
you●
Faith
is
not
so
much
as
your
Fallacy
:
Your
words
savor
of
the
Spiri●
of
God
,
b●t
your
Actions
of
the
Devil
:
You
are
not
so
Religious
,
is
you
would
be
counted
:
You
are
too
much
Speculative
Christians
.
A
little
of
the
Practick
is
enough
to
make
you
mad
,
if
you
be
not
so
already
.
Fie
,
fie
up●n
you
,
't
is
now
time
to
be
ingenious
,
and
for
Pennance
,
to
acknowledge
your
mi●guided
Devotion
,
either
shew
by
your
Actions
more
of
Saints
,
or
professe
lesse
.
But
I
suppose
your
policy
,
you
are
temporally
Religious
,
and
your
expectancy
is
nothing
but
a
temporal
blessing
:
Or
like
the
Sadduces
,
you
deny
the
Resurrection
.
Do
you
know
that
God
knowes
your
thoughts
,
and
that
you
must
give
an
account
of
them
at
the
General
Day
of
Judgment
?
why
then
do
you
use
a
Cloak
to
your
bad
Actions
,
and
make
that
your
Glory
,
which
should
be
your
Shame
.
Vale
.
