PREFACE. 


LoaEsteon who are the fubjects of 
the enfuing hiftory, befide the great fuf- 
ferings in perfon and property they en- 
dured at their firft appearance, from the 
{pirit of perfecution, prevalent in that 
age, were expofed to another fpecies of 
perfecution in ungenerous attacks upon 
_ their reputation, through the mifrepre- 
fentations of prejudice; the malignity or 
ignorance of thofe, who did not love, or 
thofe who did not know them; particu- 
larly the public preachers of that era, 
too many of whom, provoked at their — 
teftimony again{ft formality, prieftcraft 
and.preaching for hire; from the pulpit, 
and from the prefs, publifhed them to 
the world under very obnoxious defcrip- 
tions. ‘To thefe, their regard to the re- 
putation of the truth they profefled, in-

duced one or other of them to reply, in 
defence of themfelves and their princi- 
ples, and it was no difficult tafk for them 
to difprove affertions, which had no foun- 
dation in fact. They proved themfelves 
.toimpartial judges guiltlefs of the charges 
exhibited againft them, and_ refuted. 
the fabulous invectives of their antago- 
nifts, fo that few or none of thefe early 
calumnies paffed unanfwered ; added to 
which, the tried innocency and integrity 
of their lives giving a more convincing 
refutation, and religious controverfy at 
length going out of fafhion, this {pecies 
of ahufe feemed 3 in procefs of time to die 
away, and the world in general to look 
upon them in a more favourable light, 
not as deceivers, but as men of BSSLEN) 
probity and virtue. |

Yet fome ak authors of reputation 
in the learned world have thought it 
worth their while to revive long refuted 
calumnies, and debafe the page of hil- 
tory with a delineation of this people, 
copied from the diftorted caricatures of 
their bittereft antagonifts; the confidera- 
tion whereof pointed out the propriety of 
a new review of their real hiftory, drawn 
from authentic memoirs, and genuine 
records, preferved in their own haa

that by comparing their own accounts 
of themfelves,; with thofe of their adver- 
faries, a more impartial judgment may 
be formed of their real character: That 
as thefe. authors,. particularly Mofheim, 
and Formey after him, have not thought 
it beneath them to draw from oblivion, 
long refuted and long forgotten mifre- 
prefentations of men of worth (if folid 
virtue, and real religion are confider- 
ed as. conftituent parts. of worth). an 
attempt to refcue deferving characters, 
worthy of imitation in the general tenour 
of their lives, from the contempt and 
cenfure endeavoured to be thrown upon 
them, feems an act of. juftice, not only 
to them, but to the world at large. 


Incited by thefe confiderations, the 
compiler ef the enfuing fheets hath not 
been difcouraged by the profpect of the 
laborious undertaking, the fcantineis of 
his leifure, nor his advanced {tage in life, 
from engaging in the bufinefs of collect- 
ing and -digefting the materials preferv- 
ed by them, in the following hiftory ; 
and aan the like laborious tafk hath 
before employed the. pen of William 
Sewel, yet frefh occafion. being offered, 
feemed to demand a frefh revifal of the 


real hiftory of this people: In the pro-

fecution whereof, I propofe to lay before 
the reader my objections to thofe paf- 
fages, which we confider as mifreprefenta- 
tions, partly in notes, as occafion arifes 


_ from my fubjeét, and partly in an ap- 


pendix to the hiftory, if my life and 
health fhall be prolonged to bring it to 
a conclufion, towards which it is already 
confiderably advanced. 


The reader is not to expect, in the 
hiftory of this pacific body to meet with 
a recital of thofe fplendid actions, or 
{chemes of policy, which are apt to daz- 
zle the eyes of mankind, while they ge- 
nerally contribute very little to the. feli- 
city of the greater part, are often pro- 
ductive of great damage and deftrudction 


to many ; and the happinefs they convey 


to individuals, in the {plendour of a 
name, is but a poor recompenfe for the 
mifchief. they occafion, and but of fhort 
duration: But what is of much more im- 
portance to the generality of the human 
race, he will meet with many examples 
(worthy of imitation) of ftedfaft refolu- 
tion and inflexible perfeverance in pro- 
fecuting through life the great end of 
our being, happinefs in a future ftate. 
But few men have the ability, the power 
or opportunity of conquering nations or 

governing

governing kingdoms; but all men have 
immortal fouls to be faved or loft, in con- 
fequence of the manner of pafling the 
time of their fojourning here. 


For this reafon I have been more par- 
ticular in the biography, in the accounts 
I have collected of the lives and deaths 
of feveral of the moft ferviceable mem- 
bers of this fociety, with defign to point 
out the beneficial effects of a life of 
pure religion and virtue at that folemn 
period, which mocks the {fplendour of 
triumphs, and lays human honours in 
the duft; more with a view to infpire 
their faryivers with a defire of copy- 
ing their virtues, than to build the tombs 
of the prophets, or garnifh the fepulchres 
of the righteous. 


' I forefee an objection may poffibly be 
made to the partiality of this hiftory, 
as being taken from the memoirs and 
records of the people whofe hiftory it is. 
In many cafes,.and this in particular, 
no:other authentic records can be met 
with, but what. are preferyed amongtft 
the people themfelves; notwithftanding 
which, hiftories founded on fuch records, 
have obtained a reception; whilft thofe 
founded on public rumour or uncer- 

tain

tain and obfcure tradition obtain but 
little credit. Who that hath read Mofes’s 
plain account of the defcendants of Ifrael, 
regards the fabulous narrative of Juftin? 
If we had no accounts of the primitive 
Chriftians but in the works of the Gen- 
tiles, would not chriftianity itfelf be con- 
temptible, as well as Quakerifm fo call- 
ed? But with us who are favoured with 
the writings of the evangelifts, the acts 
of the apoftles, and other records of the 
primitive Chriftians themfelves, the Gen- 
tile defcriptions of them are thought wor- 
thy of little regard. Societies whofe vir- 
tues have been 1 more active in private life 
than in the buftles and notoriety of pub- 
lic affairs, efcape the public attention, 
fo far, as to leave few genuine records of 
tranfactions in which they are engaged, 
except fuch as are preferved amongtft 
themfelves.

“ the tranfactions related.” JI have been 
further aflifted by the perufal of the jour- 
nals of feveral members of this fociety, 
who have left us memoirs of their lives 
and travels, and of the tranfactions in 
which they were engaged: For the ac- 
count of- the fettlement of this people 
in Pennfylvania and fome other parts 
of America, I am much indebted to 
the afliftance of my _ efteemed friend 
James Pemberton, and fome other friends 
of Philadelphia, who with fingular in-

with a tranfcript of their hiftory in ma- 
nufcript, drawn up by Samuel Smith, but 
never publifhed;.and other authentic 
manuf{cripts.

deavours, to avail myfelf of the materials

the expectations of my friends in a tole- 
rable degree, and to convey fome {fatis- 
faction and profitable reflection to the: 
readers in general, my defign in under- 
taking this work will not be entirely fru

deavouring to be of fome ufefulnefs in

O UR antient friend William Penn (for 
whofe writings [have a high efteem) hav- 
ing given us aconcife recital of the va- 
rious religious difpenfations, and of va- 
rious profeffions of chriftianity, preceding 
that to which the contemptuous deno- 
mination of Quakers was affixed, in his 
introduction to the Rife and Progrefs of 
that People, \ thought at firft I could not 
chufe a more fuitable introduction to the 
enfuing hiftory than that, enlarged with 
explanatory and hiftorical notes: But on 
further confideration, the mode I have | 
adopted feemed more eligible. I have 
kept his faid introduction in my eye: but 
have preferred a paraphrafe, before a 
literal tranfcript with notes, as exhibit- 
_ ing one continued narration, without the 
frequent breaks, which the other method 
muft neceflarily occafion.

SECT. ings, and to convey more juft notions of 
God, of true religion, and acceptable wor- 
fhip. Proving the truth of the apoftle’s - 
reafoning, 1 Cor.ii. 11, 14. “ What man 
“ knoweth the things of aman, fave the Spirit 

. © of man, that 1s in him? even fo the things of 
“ God bdteth no man, but the Spirit of God. 
“ The natural man knoweth not the things of 
“ the Spirit of God; for they are fooli/hnefs 
*¢ ynto btm; neither can be know them; be- 
$ caufe they are fpiritually difcerned.” 

_ The Creator of man, in his unfearchable 
wifdom, hath chofen different means by 
which to reveal this knowledge of himfelf 
to different ages of the world: Firft (ac- 
carding to fcripture teftimony) to the 
Patriarchs by Angels; next to the Jews by 
the Law of Mofes. “ This difpenfation,” 
faith William Penn, “ was much outward, 
*“ and fuited to a low and fervile ftate, 
“ called therefore by the apoftle Paul that 
“ of a School-mafter, which was to pre- 
“pare the people to look and long for the 
«“ Mess1au to deliver them from the fer- 
“¢ vitude of a ceremonious and imperfect 
“ difpenfation, being only the shadow of 
* good things to come, by difcovering to 
“ them the knowledge of the reality and 
«“fubftance of pure sy ay cae typified by

advantages above the cupeatatian of the 
law ; and .preparing that upepple for the 
reception thereof, by reprefenting the legal 
ceremonies ineffectual to pleafe God, with- 
out ceafing to do evil and learning to do 
well, , This difpenfation ended in the mi- 
niftration of , John: the Baptift, the fore- 
runner,.of the Meffiah, as Johnigy was fi- 
nifhed in him, the falnets of all. . i 
Now God, who at fundry times and in 

divers manners fpake to their fathers by 
his fervants the Prophets, {pake to men by 
his fon, ,whom he made heir of all things. 
And the religion, which this teacher come 
from heaven introduced, excelled every 
other, as far as the dasitie author excelled 
the fons of men. I fhould think it bor- 
dering on blafphemy to bring into any 
comparifon with it, the vanities of the 
Gentiles, who cana’ God :- But a fhort 
view thereof, compared with the Mofaic 
difpenfation, may conduce to the elucida- 
tion of its fuperior excellency, 

_. The law of Mofes. was an outward and 
partial law, written on tables of {tone 
the grace and truth which came by. Jefus 
Chrift was an inward and univerfal law, 
awritten on the living tables. of thé hearts 
of men. The difpenfation of the Gofpel 
being the new, covenant prophefied of by 
Jeremiah; “ And it fhall come to pafs in Jer. xxi.

Under the legal difpenfation the wor- 
fhip of God was more particularly re- 
{tricted to the temple at Jerufalem built 
of ftone; but this reftriéted worfhip was 
abolifhed under the univerfal Gofpel of 
Jefus Chrift, being to be no longer con- 
fined to time or place; neither to Jerufa- 
lem, nor to the mountain of Samaria; 
but the true worfhip of God was to be 
performed m {fpirit and in truth. God 
was now declared not to dwell in temples 
made with hands, but in the living tem- 
ples of the purified hearts of true be- 
hevers. The law of Mofes as an outward. 
law reached the outward action ; the Gof- 
pel of Chrift as a f{piritual difpenfation laid 
the axe to the root of the corrupt tree, to 
manifeft and deftroy fin in its firft con- 
ception i the heart, in the root and 
ground thereof: “ His fan is in his hand,” 
faid John, “ and he will thoroughly purge’ 
“ his floor.” The law of Mofes made 
not the comers thereunto perfect as per- 
taining to the eonfcience ; but the bring= 
ing in of a better hope did. ‘he infide 


of the cup and platter was to be cleanfed,

To thefe great and beneficial ends of the

Apoftles bear teftimony, whom he had 
chofen, and qualified by his {pirit, to turn 

the Jews from their prejudice and fuper-

and idolatry, to the light and fpinit. of

from the fins and tranfgreffions in which 

they were dead, to ferve the Lord in the 
newnefs of the fpirit of life. It was up- 

on this inward principle, which cleanfes 

the infide by the wafhing of regeneration, 

and the renewing of the Holy Ghoft, that... , 
they endeavoured to build. up and efta- »

fift in refined fpeculation or elegant cx- 
preflion, but in living well, exemplifying 


their faith in Chrift by an uniform ob- 


fervance of his divine precepts; and ap- 
proving themfelves (by walking in the 


. light) children of the light, born not of 
_ the will of the flefh, nor of the will of 


man,’ but of the will of God, by doing 
his will, and denying their own. 
Through the fuccefsful and effectual 
labours of the Apoftles the Church main- 
tained her brightnefs during their age, 
being dignified with all the beauty of 
holinefs, as a city fet upon a hill her 
light fhed a luftre, attracting both Jews 
and Gentiles to the fenfe and love of 
truth; the multitude of Chriftians en- 
creafed greatly. Yet even during that age 
fome fymptoms of declenfion were dif- 
covered, of which thefe faithful paftors 
Were not wanting to give timely warning 
to the believers, as well as of a greater 
degeneracy, which they forefaw would 
overfpread the Church to eclipfe the 
brightnefs thereof. As the Apoftle Paul, 
in his firft epiftle to Timothy, “ Now the 
“ fpirit fpeaketh exprefsly, that in the 
“ Jatter times fome fhall depart from the 
* faith, giving heed to feducing {pirits 


- and doétrines of devils; {peaking lies 


“ in hypocrify, having their conf{ciences 
“ feared, forbidding to marry, and com- 
“ manding to abftain from meats.” And

its confequences, brought on an almoft 
total reverfe to the Gofpel of Jefus Chrift,

{ftantine, emperor of Rome, embraced the

profeflion, from an object of perfecution, . 
averfion and contempt, became the reli- | 
gion in vogue. ‘The Gentile priefts, and — 
‘people of courfe, adopted this profeflion, 
not fo much from a confcientious convic-

much declined: But from this period | 

corruption overf{pread to an extenfive de- 
_gfee.' “ An attachment to heathenifh and

“ fhip, the canonizing and invoking of 

“ faints,” and reverfing Chriftianity into. 

idolatry, from which it is moft abhor- 

rent, are flagrant inftances that Chriftia- 

nity, thus metamorphofed, had no title to 

the character of the Church of Chrift, 

being in its fpirit and tendency the very 

reverfe thereof. 

Yet though the vifible church had loft w. Pena, 
the nature, fhe endeavoured to keep up 
her’ good name of The True Church, and 
mother of the faithful. Her bifhops and 
priefts having, many of them, adopted the 
profeffion of Chriftianity from worldly 
motives, manifefted their converfion to 
be only in ‘name, their minds remained 

| worldly ftill, .They were more intent 
j upon recommending worlhip by oftenta- 
tious pomp and {plendour, ‘to catch the 
eyes of men, than the humility and fin- 
cerity of heart, which in the church’s 
original ftate of purity had made it ac- 
ceptable to God, What now continued 
to be profeffed for the Chriftian religion

Not very long after another incident 
fucceeded, which encreafed the degene- 
racy and diftractions of the vifible church, 
viz. the irruption of the northern nations 
of Europe into the Roman empire, mark- 
ing their progrefs with defolation and 


-deftruction by fire and fword wherever 


they came; perfect ftrangers to decorum 
and civilization, ‘what religion they had 


was idolatry: of the grofleft kind, or a. 


profeflion. of Chriftianity little better ; 
Idolatry, paganifm and grofs ignorance 
again overfpread all Europe, and for a 
feafon overran the nations thereof, fo that 


even the name and profeflion of Chriftia- 


nity became greatly obicured. After the 
Goths and Vandals, and the other nor- 
thern invaders, had fubdued all oppofi- 


‘tion, they fettled down quietly in their 


conquefts, having left no enemy able to

convert thefe pagan nations to the pro- 
feflion of Chriftianity, and met with con- 
fiderable fuccefs; but the doctrines which 
they taught, sua the ends which they had 

in view, were very different from the pu- 

rity of the apoftolick age, the’ heavenly 
doétrines of Chriftianity being vaftly cor- 
rupted by the impure mixture of fuper- 
ftition; and the end in view being the 
advancement of clerical intereft and pow- 

er, they chiefly influenced their converts 

to fubmiffion to the power of the Pope, 
and liberality to the priefthood. 

The effect of their labours, and the Robeit- 
temper of their converts, as they are de-”™ 
{cribed by an eminent hiftorian, evince 
the nature of their dodétrines: “ The bar- 

““ barous nations, when converted to 
“ Chriftianity, changed the object, not 
“ the fpirit of their religious worfhip. 
They endeavoured to conciliate the fa- 
“ vour of the true God by means not 
“ unlike to thofe they had employed to 
“‘ appeafe their falfe deities, Inftead of 
“ afpiring to fandtity and virtue, which 
“‘ alone can render men acceptable to the

a kingdom of priefts. Thefe barbarians,

them, and introduced a general barbarity 
wherever they fettled: “ The human

involved in the gerieral gloom and igno- , ' 
rance, infomuch that many of them: did 
not underftand the breviary they were 
obliged daily to recite, and feveral of 
them could not read it, they had never- 
thelefs the craft to avail themfelves of the 
ignorance and prejudices of the people, 
to procure the guidance of their confci- 
ences, emoluments and power to their own 
order, and a fuperf{titious veneration to 
their perfons. 

From this time ecclefiaftical hiftory (too 
much fullied before) becomes deformed 
with in{ftances of ambition, avarice, poli- 
tical intrigues, perfecution, cruelty and 
revenge, (qualities diametrically oppofite 
to the purity and nature of Chriftianity) 
in an equal or fuperior degrce to 7 an- 
nals of moft fecular kingdoms, ‘ The Formey. 
“ bifhops in general, who had = chief 
“ authority in church affairs, had, for a 
“ fucceflion of ages, loft daily more and 
“ more the proper qualifications of over- 
“ feers in the Church of Chrift, true piety 
“ and ancient fimplicity of manners ; and 
“ were fo taken up w.th the defire of en- 
af larging their pretenfions and preroga- 
“tives, that the promotion of pure reli- 
“ gion, or the falvation of thofe fouls 
“ committed to their charge, feems to

Splendour and magnificence, the atten:

neceflary wants, and much fuperfluity of

perfecution became the reigning religion 
of the empire, and the church was en- 
riched with fecular pofleffions; when 
princes and nobles had adopted the Chrif= 
tian profeflion, and a notion was artfully 
propagated, that munificence to the church 
would atone for fin, and purchafe future 
felicity, and the great found it eafier to 
give freely than live ‘well, her pofleflions 
va{tly encreafed by donations of lands, 
and pecuniary oblations: But as her por- 
tion encreafed, her beauty decayed. They 
whofe office fhould have been exercifed, 
after the original pattern, in diligent la- 
bour and vigilance to prevent the intro- 
duction, and over{preading of corruption 

_ inthe church, became no lefs confpicuous 
for their avarice. than their ambition. 
The bifhops, as it might feem, in order to Fofter, 
get the revenues of the church into their 
poffeffion, relieved the deacons from the 
charge of the adminiftration, and took it 
upon themfelves. When the bifhops of 
Rome, affuming the title of Univerfal 
Bilhop, . affected. the ftate of fecular 
princes, they foon found means to appro- 
priate the lands of the church of Rome to 
the fee. Other bifhops foon followed 
their example, and engroffed to themfelves 
the paianen? of the churches under their

neceflary charges of the church, were but 
fcantily provided for. 

Amongft the reft the inferior orders 
of the clergy, who were dependent on the 


. bifhops,. had been deftitute of fupport by 


other means, than their portion of the 
income of the church lands. It feemed 


neceflary to devife means for their fup- — 


port, independent of this income, and 
with that view they caft their eyes upon 
the tithe ,of the produce of lands, after 
the Jewith model; thefe were accordingly 
beached up with remarkable zeal: “ Soa 

* that during fome centuries (faith a mo- 
* dern hiftorian) the whole fcope of ho- 
“ mulies and fermons was directed to in- 


“ fluence the people to punétuality in — 
“ paying them; and one would have ima- 


“ pined, from the general tenor of thefe 
“ difcourfes, that all the practical parts 


— of Chriftianity were comprehended in 


“ the exact and faithful payment of tithes 
* to the clergy.” In addition to this ex- 
tenfive revenue, various other pretexts were: 
contrived to encreafe it ftill more: Purga- 
tory, penance, difpenfations, indulgences, 
were crafty impofitions upon the credulity 
of thefe dark ages to extort gain to the 
priefthood: The living were deceived in- 
to liberality; and the dying, in their 
weakeft moments of defpondency and 
approaching ee eat were befet by de-

munion of the good works of the church, 
in order to encreafe the Dik and reve-

‘ About the end of the Gedeiith century 
the ‘apoftacy was come to the height. 
There appeared little in’ the profeffing 
Chriftian church which bare any refem- 
blance.to the religion of Chrift and his 
apoftles: The holy fcriprures being lock- 
ed up in'an unknown tongue, beyond the 
comprehenfion of the ignorant people of 
this illiterate age, they’ were deprived of 
thefe ‘means of difcovermg the traces of 
pure: ‘Chriftianity,, ‘and ‘the corruptions 
which had ¢rept inté'the' church. : They 
had ‘no means of knowing: what Chriftia- 
nity was but through the. corrupt repre- 
fentations of their teachers. ‘The. rules 
of their conduct were nor the facred pre- 
cepts of the Gofpcl, but the decrees of 
Popes; and innovations, and unmeaning 
be © vanecies -of _vifionary Monks; which, in- 
f ftead ‘of promoting the true fpirit of red 
ligion, appear ftudioufly'calculated to draw 
off the human mind from refearches of 
this nature,‘as fuch énquities muft -have 
a tendericy’ to 'deteét the ‘deceptions of : 
thefe- (apparently pious) inpoftors.

He particularly infifted on the vices of SHOT, 
oe priefts, the tyranny of the court of , Hs 
ome, and the infatiable avarice of the 
monks, who invaded every thing; and 
perfevered with great zeal and intrepidity 
to oppofe fuperftition and unmafk hypo- 
crify, Being appointed by Edward UHI, 
one of the members of an embafly fent 
in 1373 to Pope Gregory at Avignon, to 
remon{trate again{t the heavy taxes with 
which, England, was burthened by the 
popes, he was furnifhed with an oppor- 
tunity of feeing the papal court, obferving 
the nature of its policy, and the licenti- 
oufnefs of its morals, at which he con- 
ceived much difguft, perfuading himfelf 
it was the fee of Antichrift. 
.- He applied himfelf with diligence to 
the ftudy of the facred writings, and was 
the firft who tranflated them into Englith, 
From this fource drawing. purer inftruc- 
tion concerning the nature and {pirit of 
_ the Chriftian religion than that which 
‘was. conveyed through the vitiated chan- 
nel of the clerical, doctrines and expofi- 
tions of thofe times, he clearly perceived 
the nullity of various papal. pretenfions ; 
that.the Pope had no valid claim to infal- 
libility ; that;'the power he had aflumed 
over all the church, and over the princes 
of Chriftendom, was.a mere groundlefs 
impofition, without authority from reafon 


or reyelation. ,He si eras the worfhiping

after his death, blafphemoufly and mali- 
cioufly aflerting that he was gone into 
eternal damnation, and that his laft dif- 
temper was a judgment upon him for his 
manifold herefies and impieties *. Befides 
this, ecclefiaftical malice, unlimited incru- | 
elty, and unabated by time, vented itfelf 
in a ridiculous and fenfelefs perfecution of 
his remains, his body being dug up and 
burned by a decree of the council of Con- 
ftance forty years after his deceafe. The 
fame council condemned to the flames 
two Bohemian difciples of his, John Hus 
and Jerome of Prague, in violation of 
good faith, they having attended the faid 
council under promife of protection by 
the emperor’s fafe conduct. 

Edward the IlId. a prince of great wif- 
dom and fortitude, had penetration to per- 
ceive the pernicious tendency of the papal 
encroachments, and the nullity of their 
pretenfions to revenues and dominion in 
England; and the fpirit to with-hold the 
one and with{tand the other. And this 
fpirit in the prince feems to have {pread

* What thefe impicties were, we may eafily apprehend ; 
when we confider that what palt for religion at this AZra was Hume, 
devotion to the interefts of the Clergy, and vencration to their Vol. IIT. 
order. For as to his moral conduct we are informed that p- 50. 
“ Wickliffe himfelf, as well as his difciples, was diftinguifhied 
[ “by a remarkable aufterity of life and manners.”

therein, the pope and the clergy, ac- 
tuated by an extraordinary zeal to for- 
ward this pious undertaking (as they 
would have it efteemed) aaribnestt other

The gates of heaven (they were made to

valent effect of thefe indulgences upon 
the fuperftitious imaginations of the peo- 
ple, in bringing vaft numbers to enlt{t 
under the banner of the crofs, encouraged 
the ecclefiaftics to continue them after the 
Crufades were laid afide, on every future 
occafion ef fuppreffing all who became

Leo X. a man more celebrated for a tafte ¥

pence, to which even the revenues of the 
papal fee were inadequate. So that in 
order to provide a more ample fupply, he 
reforted, amongft other means, to a fale 
of indulgences; the difperfing of which 
in Saxony was committed to one Tetzel, 
a Dominican friar, This man and his 
affociates {candalized the more ferious and 
thinking part of the people, both by the 
extravagance of their aflertions in favour

apoftacy was drawing to an end, wherein Baars 


mankind had been. artfully kept in igno- 
rance of their rights and real intereft ; 
and the dawning of clearer light was fat 
advancing, and opening the underftand- 
ings and minds of many for the more 
ready reception of the purer dod¢trines of 
the gofpel. Luther’s doétrines gained 
ground in Germany, in {pite of the uni- 
ted efforts of the fecular and ecclefiaftical 
powers. Even the Pope’s Bull, which had 
been fo formidable to the greateft poten- 
tates, made little impreflion on Luther 
and his followers; he difregarded all their 
menaces, and attempts to ftop his pro- 
grefs; and being fupported by fundry 
princes of the empire, particularly the 
Electors of Saxony, he preceeded ftrenu- 
oufly and undauntedly in the work of re- 
formation, in which he was effectually 
feconded by Philip Melancthon ; and foon 
after Zuinglins embarking in the fame 
caufe in Switzerland, the principles of 
thefe reformers | fpread widely through 
Germany, and from thence through other 
parts of Europe. 

In England the fparks of light kindled 
in many hearts by the preceding labours 
of John Wickliffe in the caufe of refor- 


mation, which had been fmothered rather: 


than extinguifhed by the perfecutions ta 
which the Lollards were expofed, revived

cal caufe ; fer a confiderable body of the 

‘people, who were now brought over to 

feel more reverence for thefe infpired

occafion of much offence and reproach at 

committing to the flames thofe volumes, 

which they confidered as the word of God. 

Neither did it anfwer the Bifhops inten-

more correct tranilation of the New Tefta-

merchants in London, who difperfed them 

privately amongft their friends and ac- 

‘quaintances; and after fome time his 

tranilation, being revifed and corrected by 

Archbifhop Cranmer, was eftablifhed by 

authority, and in the year 1538, by com- 

mand of King Henry VII. was fet up in 

every parifh church, (fo called) in order 

that the people might read it. ‘This was 

a great ftep in favour of the reformation,

56 INTRODUCTION: 


SECT. - But the fucceeding reign of Queen } 
Mary, an arbitrary, wens and cruel prin- } 
cefs, educated in the Romith fuperfti- |f 
bor! to which fhe was a bigot in the |, 
extreme, overturned the reformation, di- § 
verted the national religion into the old & 
channel, and reintroduced popery, with | 
all its train of fuperftition, bitternefs of | 
enmity, and feverity of perfecution, 
This revolution proved literally a fiery | 
trial upon the fincerity of the reformers, | 
many of whom were brought. to che | 
ftake, and fuffered martyrdom with re- 4 
markable fortitude and piety, bearing. a 
noble teftimony to the truth they believed 
in, and againft the errors, corruptions 
and cruelty of the church C. Rome, to 
the laft. Unfhaken from their faith by 
flattery or menaces, they fupported their 
te{timony in the midit of tortures, and 
undauntedly fealed it with their blceod. 
ft was computed that no lefs than two 
hundred and feventy-feven fuffered by 
fire, befides thofe punithed by imprifon- 
ment, fines and confifcations, and the. 
numbers “who fought fafety in flight.. 
Divine Providence was pleafed to. deliver 
his people by cutting fhort this barbarous 
reign, the Queen being removed by death, 
after a reign of about five years and four 
months. 

She was fucceeded by her fifter Hliza-

upon furthering the reformation while 

fhe was held in the conftraints of a pri-Gold- 
fon, and upon her coming to the crown {mth

compleated what fhe had begun, and in 

the courfe of a fingle feflion the reforma- 
tion was eftablifhed in that form which 
conflitutes the prefent fyitem of the 
church of England; to the ready accom- 
plihment whereof, it is apprehended, the 
difguft conceived by the people at the 
frequency and barbarity of the late exe- 
cutions greatly contributed. 

It is juftly to be efteemed a fignal fa- 
vour, demanding the grateful acknow- 
ledgments of the inhabitants of thefe 
nations, that divine Providence, in abun- 
dant mercy to Great Britain and its de- 
pendencies, was pleafed to rend the veil 
of fuperflition, difperfe the cloud, of . pa- 
pal darknefs, and caufe the morning of 
Gofpel light to dawn upon them; and 
thofe pious worthies, who by the purity 
of their manners and doétrines, by the 
tenor of their lives, and their faithful- 
nefs to death in teftimony to the truth, 
were the principal inftruments of bring- 
ing about and forwarding the reforma- 


tion, are juftly entitled to honorab]

Prieftcraft, which ever fullied and ob- 
feured the brightnefs of Gofpel licht, | 
had too much {cope, and retained too 
-much influence in the eftablifhed fyftem. 
In imitation of the Romith hierarchy, the 
clergy of the church of England aflumed 
to themfelves the ¢itle and property of the 
Church, which originally belonged to the 
whole body or congregation of the believers. 
‘The firft minifters of the Gofpel claimed 
neither to themfelves, as they aimed at 
no power or dominion over their flocks, 
no reverence to their perfons or their 
order, but what naturally refulted from 
the fuperiority of their fpiritual gifts, the 
excellency of their miniftry, and their 
exemplary lives. They claimed no fhare 
of the-church’s ftock, but what neceflity 
required ; they had no idea of engrofling 
the whole to them{elves, and leaving the 
poor, and the building or repairing the 
places of worfhip, an additional burden 
upon their hearers.

INTRODUCTION. 


ing too near a refemblance to thofe badges scr, 


of diftinction borne by thofe of the Church 
of Rome, it was thought by many a re- 
fuming of the fpirit, and principles of the 
former hierarchy, and defeating the ends 


of feparating from that church, and pro. , 


tefting againft the impofitions and domi- 
neering {pirit thereof. 

For although we admit that many re- 
fpectable characters have adorned the 
bench of Bifhops at and fince the refor- 
mation, yet it is too manifeit that thefe 
honours and emoluments of the office 
have proved a tempting bait to ambition 
to too many others, probably the greater 
part, whereby they have been drawn inta 
negligence of their paftoral charge, to fre- 
quent the courts and palaces of princes, 
to hunt after greater preferments ; and to 
pay more attention to their fecular, than 
their fpiritual calling. 

-» The power alfo left in their hands 
proved-a temptation to revive the fpirit of 
perfecution amongift them; foon forgetting 
all the ill ufage and hardthips their prede- 
ceflors had undergone, during the bitter 
intolerancy of the laft reign, from the 
Romifh Bifhops; the Proteftant Bifhops 
were hardly firmly feated in their {talls, 
till they exerted their endeavours to force 
an uniformity, which comprehended an 
univerfal affent to the propriety of their 

prerogatives,

.+— power and decrees in matters ecclefiattical, 


by the penalties of imprifonments, con- 


fifcations, banifhment, and (in fome in- 4 


ftances) of death. In their legiflative capa- 


city they. were too generally zealous [ 


promoters of penal laws againft non-con- 
tormifts, and in their official and executive | 
capacity ftrenuous aiders and abettors in '} 
carrying them rigoroufly into execution. 

The refervation of tithes for the main- 
tenance of the priefts is another of the 
reliques of the apoftatized church, an im- 
pofition which even ecclefiaftical avarice 
did not extort till the ages of grofs dark- 
nefs and ignorance; and the groyads on 
which they were claimed, the te of 
~Gofpel light clearly manifefted to be 
merely nugatory, and that they could not 
be retained in any reformation reverting 
to primitive purity, as no veftige of fuch 
a demand could be derived from the new 
teftament, or the original practice of the 
Chriftian church, 

Sundry other articles of the former fu- 
perf{tition were reformed but partially : 
Oftentatious f{plendor and human. con- 
trivance in worfhip, and in the decoration 
of temples; the clerical veftments, plura- 
lities and non-refidence of the clergy, 
appear plain inftances of a deviation from 
the fimplicity, iy Socials and con=

perfecution under Mary’s cruel and bigotted reign many of - 


the refurmed Church had fought an afylum from the fury of 
_ the perfecution in thofe foreign countries where the Proteftant 
religion had obtained an eltabluhment, particularly at Frank- 
fort and Geneva. Here a difagreement arofe between + 
re{pecting ceremonies, difcipline and modes of worfhip. "TH¥{fe 
who had wken up their refidence at Frankfort adhcring to the 
regulations eftablifhed in England under King Edward, and 
thofe at Geneva adopting the doétrine and difcipline eftablithed 
there by Calvin. Wheo the perfecution in England termi- 
nated with the life of Mary, the exiles returned and brought 
their difference along with them. ‘The Puritans, fo called 
from their fingular purity of life and manners, in which I bave 
no doubt many of them were very fincere, being reprefented 
of exemplary lives, diligent in preaching, and moral in their 
conduct, defirous of a greater reformation, and wanting the 
ufelefs ceremonies and clerical habits to be laid afide, or at

they alfo wifhed the Common-prayer Book to be left indifer- 
ent, #. ¢ to be ufed or not, as every miniftcr or congregation 
might be fully perfuaded in their own minds: Although thefe 
demands appear reafonable, both the civil and eccictiattical 
rulers thought otherwife, and infifted upon an ablolute and 
entire conformity to that model of religion which they had 
agreed to eftablith for the obfervation of the whcelc king- 
slom.

. sEcT. They would not communicate at large ¥ 
“ or in common with others, but formed } 
“ churches § 


they allowed them only the ‘privilege of advifing, but not of 
‘any controul or governing power) and thence they were {tiled 
Independents ; but this independence connected them fo flight: , 
ly, and their particular fentiments feem to have been fo dif. - 
ferent, that it was difficule for them to adhere clofely together; 4 
or for others to know precifely what the fyitem of their doc- 
tincs was. Their political fentiments coincided with their 
religious tenets, being favourable to aly liberty, but to a de- J 
gree which proved, by experience, tod refined for the pre- | 
fent fate of civil fociety. In ecclefiattical government they 
were for independency ; in civil government for republicanifm. 
Eine, ‘Lo them our modern hiftorians afcribe the origin ofthe doc- 4 
M‘Aulay. trine of toleration, but go too far in afferting that they uni- 
formly maintained it in their praCice when invelled with 

“power: the fucceeding hiftory will exhibit fome melancholy ! 
intances in contradiétion to fuch affertion, In fine the pur- | 

fuic and acquifition of fecular power proved highly detrimen- | 

tal to their reputation and their innocence ; introducing a pol- 

luting tranfition trom religious thoughtfulneis, and a circum.) 

fpection of life and manners, regulated in fome meafure by 

the dogirines of the gofpel ; to political confiderations, and 

maxims of human prudence in the adminiltration of civil go- 
vernment, wherein their leaders and teachers betrayed fymp- 

toms of ambition, avarice, and a vindictive difpotition irre- 
concilable to the purity of Chriftianity ; at the fame time 
continuing to make a high profeflion of, and pretentions to, . 

religious purity, which gave occafion to Hittorians of the op« 

polite party to reprefent them, and other diffenters, as a body 

of Pharifaical hypocrites: But it appears to me both unge-. 

nerous and unfafe to comprehend any body of men under one 
ry general character, which is motft frequently the refult of the 
narrow fpirtt of purty-zeal, and fecret antipathy, rather than 
that generofity of fentiment and difpailionate temper of mindy 
which can calmly inveitigate truth and applaud virtue, where 
evcr it may be found. I believe the Independents, in com- 
mon with other focieties, in their furlt feparation from the 

* eftablifhed church, were generally a€tuated by confcientious § /} 
motives; that many of them retained their integrity; that fe~ |

commonly fixeth the character of the whole body, was un-

and their jealoufy of lofing their power, which many lovked 

upon as a violent and unjuft ufurpation, puthed them upon 
fome meafures, which cannot be defended upon the principles 

of religion, morality or humanity. Their reputation,’ nots 
with{tanding, was very confiderable for wifdom and political 
capacity in the adminiftration of public affairs,.during which 

they made a confpicuous figure ; but with the termination of 
their power their religious character feemeth to have been irre-

Anabaptifts) ‘who received that denomination from their -ob- i aaa

practife of baptizing by the immerfion of adults, whom they 
confidered as believers, thinking thefe the only proper fubjects 
of this ceremony. Upon this account they claim an immedi- 
ate defcent from the apoftles and the primitive church, whofe 
practice in this refpeét, they maintain, was the fame. But 
their origin is generally deduced from later ages, they being 
confidered as having fprung up in Germany, by feparating 
themfelves from the Lutherans, beeaufe their reformation was 
imperfeét, and not brought up to the primitive ftandard; as 
the proper mode and fubje& of baptifm was not allowed by 
them to be neceflary in the performance of that rite. ' There- 
fore they re-baptized their followers, condemning infant-bap- 
tifm as unfcriptural, and of no effect, whence they acquired 
the name of Anabaptifts. In their firft feparation they alfo 
feem to.have beem actuated by fincere and purel ygggligious 
motives ; and exemplified the fincerity of their religious pro- 
feffion, by the ftriétnefs of their lives and doétrines, being 
confpicuous for their morality, mortification, and fimplicity of 
drefs. They exclaimed not only againft the authority and 
tyranny of the church of Rome,’ but againft every authority 
which oppofed the rights of confcience. papcPhay the 

This fociety was much expofed to: perfecution, ‘and there- 
fore it was natural for them ‘to exclaim againft it.” Yet in 
their early appearance in Germany fome under. the denomina- 
tion of Anabaptifts gave occafion for the extenfion of the ma- 
giftrate’s fword. Upon their’ firft feparation from the Lu-

they were not agreed in any fyftem of religious principles ex-s

were lax and indeterminate, which gave ‘a latitude’ to fome 
unfettled {pirits urider their name to‘adopt opinions deftruc- 
tive to the peace ‘and order of civil fogiety.  «* ‘That'amongft Robertion,

_ © their fpiritual liberty ; that afl Chriftians, throwing their ; 
 & poffeffions into one common ftock, fhould live together in ” 
*¢ that ftate of equality, which becomes the members of the 3 
« fame family.” Nay, it is faid they went fo far as to main- 7

“that liberty which God himfelf had granted to the Pa- & 
‘© triarchs.” ‘7 1a 
The actions of thefe men were fuch as might be expected 
to flow from fuch extravagant notions: they made an infur- "ff 
rection in Weftphalia, feized the city of Munfter, and in their 1B 
attempts to eftablifh a commonwealth conformable to their (BR | 
wild ideas, ran into the moft exorbitant and criminal excefles ; 4 
which induced a confederacy of the fecular powers to quell yi 
them by force of arms, and bring the ringleaders to condign \i. 
punithment. ‘This being effected, thefe commotions, which ‘ 
were principally raifed by two obfcure men, John Matthias, a |i" 
baker, of Haarlem, and John Bocold, a journeyman tailor, % 
of Leyden, fubfided entirely; but the brand of infamy, jf 
which they ftamped upon the denomination, was too deep tq |

in one city they fled into another, silbsclng, themfelves and ©! 
their opinions into divers countriesy where although they led 
a quiet and peaceable. life, and difavowed the criminal extras if) © 
vagancies of thofe of Munfter, yet riveted prejudice, de- © 
teftation and perfecution were long attendant upon anabapy 
tifm, wherever it was adopted or profeffed. Numbers were 
martyred in. different, countries for their adherence thereto, 
And although in, England perfecutiom hath not in latter ages 
proceeded, to that extremity; yet in every ftorm of perfecu: 
tion here, they had generally their full fhare. Nextto the “2 | 
body of people, who are the fubject of the following hiltoryy 3h] 
they were, perhaps the, moft hated and perfecuted fect, they ‘1

of his own mind, abftracted from the 
comments of men, he afierted the free- 
dom of man, in the liberty of the Gof-

again{t the combined powers of fevere 
perfecution, the greateft contempt and

nature of ‘true religion, pointed out to him the E Aft: 
neceflity of great circumfpection in all his words retigious

improved by ufeful knowledge, they may bring c Ha p, 

advantage to the pofleffor in particular, and the 

community in general, for many purpofes of this 646 

life; and that being fan@tified by diyine grace, poe 

they may be made highly fubfervient to promote 

the welfare of mankind in the beft fenfe, if, in 

gratitude to the beneficent giver of every good 

and perfect gift, they be devoted to the ends for 

which he gave them, the advancement of religi- 

on and virtue: that by fuch an application alone 

of thefe precious gifts, men act as faithful Stew- 

ards of the talents their Creator hath entrufted 

them with, to whom we mutt all give an account 

of the ufe and improvement we have made of 

them, which merits the ferious confideration of 

all who are favoured with thefe advantages. 

Yet we efteem it the moft valuable and genuine 

characteriftic of the Gofpel, that its dodtrines, 

whereby life and immortality are brought to 

light, under the influence of divine Grace, are 

intelligible to the unlearned in human literature, 

as well as the learned: This we believe ag the 

neceflary confequence of the divine attributes of 

Goodnefs and Juftice. We confider Chriftiani- 

ty, not as a fpeculative fcience, but a pradtical 

doétrine ; and that religion moft worthy of our 

ftudy and purfuit, which mends the heart, and 

regulates the life and manners, not that which 

only fills the head with a notional apprehenfion 

of divine things. If George Fox with experi- 

ence without learning became a preacher of 

righteoufnefs, fo did thofe, who of all others 

have the moft undifputed title to the character 
of Gofpel minifters, viz. the Apoftles, on the 

authority of one of themfelves, ™ “* That which

came into Nottinghamfhire ; and in his pafling © HA P. 
along, wherever he met with honeft-hearted , zs ; 
religious people, he would enter into religious 1647. 
conferences with them, as freedom and oppor- 
tunity invited, for mutual improvement and edi- 
fication; but he chiefly recommended filence, 
and abftinence from felf-performances, in order 
to turn the attention of men more ftedfaftly to 
the light of Chrift within them ; and to wait in 
patience to feel the power of this divine prin- 
ciple animate them to a heavenly temper, and a 
life of righteoufnefs ; always exemplifying the 
doctrine’ he taught in his own practice. 

At this time the nation was in a very unfet- state of the 
tled ftate. | After fome years of civil war, com- cia pepiod. 
menced, (as alledged) for the redrefs of: grie- 
vances, and limiting or preventing arbitrary 
power, (for which too much occafion had been 
given) and terminating in a conteft for the fu- 
premacy. The Prefbyterians and their adhe- 
rents, aflifted by their brethren from Scotland, 
had vanquifhed the Royalifts, and were them- 
felves overreached by the Independents, who 
having now gotten the King into their hands, a 
‘prifoner in the Ifle of Wight, and the army, at- 
tached to their intereft, were proceeding rapidly 
to fix themfelves in the feat of government. 

As this civil war had been undertaken to redrefs 
religious grievances as well as thofe in the ftate, 
that clafs of the people who were diftinguifhed 
by the denomination of Puritans and Seétaries 
(having fuffered much perfecution under the 
power of the bifhops) ranked generally on that 
fide which aimed at the abolition of their do- 
minion and office; and this. party (who made 
high pretenfions to fanétity and purity of reli-

CHAP ductitig of the war, and of the government af- 
~~ ter the war was concluded, giving {cope to a 
1647. latitude of policy, ambition, and a vindictive 


temper, irreconcileable to the honeft fimplicity, 
the peaceable and forgiving fpirit of the Chrif- 
tian religion, and the purity of their former 


_pretenfions, gave occafion to their antagonifts, “Bh! 
. ° ba 
and fundry hiftorians after them, to reprefent “ff 


the diffenters of this age in general under one 


defcription of hypocritical enthufiafts, who co- @f | 


vered pernicious defigns under the veil of fanc- 
tity, and mafked deep deceit under {pecious pro- 


feifions. Thefe party-reproaches (however well- 4 4 


grounded in refpect to fome public chara¢ters) 
could not, with candour or juftice, be applied to 
numbers of the people of that age, who diffented 
from the preceding eftablifhed worfhip, and ne- 
verthelefs were fincere in piety, and in their re- 


fearches after pure and undefiled religion; for & 
ever fince the. reformation had broken the “fF - 


fhackles, with which Prieftcraft had fettered the 
underftandings of mankind, and taught them to 
think for themfelves, and purfue the train of 
their thoughts in a free enquiry after truth and 
pure religion, many of the moft fincere in their. 
enquiries, apprehending too much of the old lea- 
ven both in do@trine, difcipline and manners re- 
tained in the epifcopal church; and that they 
had the fame right by the laws of God and na- 
ture to diffent from her, that fhe had to diffent 
from the Church of Rome, were engaged in ho- 
nefty of heart to wifh for, and endeavour after, 
a more perfect reformation: and feveral of them 
evidenced the fincerity of their piety by circum- 
fpect and virtuous lives, the criterion whereby 
only men can fafely judge of each other. By

and fufferings to which their diffent expofed them c #1 a P. 


may be confidered alfo as a teft of fincerity ; for 
what man would incur certain ‘evil, but in prof- 
pect of greater good? 

As Iam far from attempting to vindicate all 
thofe, who at this time made pretenfions to pu- 
rity, being fenfible that too many of them either 
made religion a cloak of covetoufnefs and am- 
bition, or if they were ever fincere, became cor- 
rupt by the pofleffion of power; fo I cannot 
think they do any fervice to the caufe of religi- 
on, who, by dwelling upon the prevailing infin- 
cerity without exception, give an air of fufpici- 
on to all religious appearances, of being only a 
cover to bad defigns: Many, I believe, who 
were drawn into wrong meafures, for want of 
difcriminating religious diffent frdm political fac- 
tion, were fincere and acted upon principle, 
though under the influence of human frailty lia- 
ble to err in judgment, and that divers. of thefe 
coming to fee their error relinquifhed it. I be- 
lieve alfo many others were really religious, de- 
voted in heart to the fervice of their Creator, 
and fo to pafs the time of their fojourning here 
in his fear, as to obtain his favour; that they 
were preferved thereby through thefe times of 
tumult in innocence and integrity of life, la- 
menting the calamities of their country, and for- 
bearing to take any ative part in the guilty and 
diftraéting fcene. That from the reformation to 
this time a fpirit of free religious enquiry had 
been kept alive, even by the feverities practifed 
to quafh it; ‘That the civil wars, which fpread

¢ His minifterial labours were at firft exercifed * *” 
in the way of religious conference with fuch well- 
difpofed people as he met with upon enquiry, as 
he paffed along from place to place in concife but - 
inftructive remarks upon the nature of pure re- 
ligion. \ He durft not ftay long in any particular 
place, for fear of contraéting acquaintance which 
might not be profitable, or of entering into 
much converfation, whereby his mind drawn off 
from its habitual meditation and recolle€tion 
might be retarded or injured as to advancement 
in religious experience. But as he went north- His firft ap- 
ward as far as Duckenfield and Manchefter, fining. 
meeting thereaway with fome religious enquirers 
he made fome ftay, and had religious mectings, 
and declared truth amongft them ; whereby there 
were fome convinced of the truth of his doc- 
trine, who (as he exprefleth it) received the 
Lord’s teaching, were confirmed and ftood in 
the truth. 

This is the firft inftance we have of his pub-

expreflions, attended with a reaching power, 
greatly affecting the hearts of his auditory. ,

cH A Pp. Geérge Fox among others; but from whatever ‘Mi 
caufe it happened, but few of the Baptifts at- \@i4 


tended. ‘his circum{tance prefenting a full au- 


dience, and George feeling his mind divinely #y 


influenced, made ufe of the opportunity to in- + 
culcate the doctrines he-had received as truth * 


_ upon the minds of the aflembly with fuccefs: @ 
Several by his powerful preaching, and others, 


by his reafoning in conferences with them, were 
convinced of the truth he publifhed that day. 
‘Near the clofe of this year O. S. the In- 


the govern- dependents and Republicans accomplifhed their 


purpofe in bringing the King to the block, 
abolithing regal dominion ; the authority and pe- 


- culiar privileges of the Nobility ; and the office 


of Bifhops: and feating themfelves’ at the helm 
of Government. Their profefled principles be-  . 
ing in favour of civil and religious liberty, the »: 
public places of worfhip feem, for a feafon, till ~ 
they were more firmly fixed in their feats, to 
have been open to teachers of different denomi- 
nations, and not uncommonly appropriated to 
theological difcuffion, and difputation between 
the teachers or members of various fects: ‘This 
furnifhed George Fox and others with more 
public and full opportunities of divulging their 
refpective opinions, and accordingly we find him 
frequently availing himfelf thereof. 
Private houfes alfo were occafionally open to 
- religious conferences, and as the principal bent 
of this pious young m&n’s mind, excited by per- 
fuafion of duty, was to do good to others, or 
reap fpiritual advantage to himfelf, he was zea-

this time, viz. his native county of Leicefter- c H A Pp. 
fhire (to which he was now returned) and places __" 
adjacent : £ Once at a meeting of fundry priefts pram prt 
and profeffors at a Jultice’s houfe, and twice at 7 
Mansfield, in which he modeftly offered his fen- 

timents on the fubject of difquifition, which were 
generally well received, and gained the aflent of 

feveral of the company. * At the firft meeting His firft ap- 
at Mansfield he was moved to pray (being the Myc” 
firft time we find any account of his praying in prayer. 
public) and * the power accompanying his prayer 

was fo reaching, that the houfe feemed to be 
fhaken: which occafioned fome of the company 

to remark that it was now as in the days of the 
Apoftles, when the houfe was fhaken where they 

were. ‘The effect of his prayer on the audience, 
encouraged another profeflor prefent to pray al- 

fo; but (not being under a fimilar influence) his 

prayer, inftead of edifying, brought deadnefs and 

a veil over the aflembly, which difpleafing them, 

he defired George to pray again, but he could 

not pray in man’s will. 

"Soon after this hearing of a great meeting George For 
appointed at Leicefter for a difpute, wherein it ii 
was reported, that Prefbyterians, Independents, pute at Lei- 
Baptifts and Epifcopalians were engaged, he went “““* 
thither, the meeting being held in the public 

wrofhip- 


vt & George Fox’s Journal, p. 13, 14. 
. * William Penn who knew George Fox very well, from long 
and intimate acquaintance, gives this character of his excel- 
lency in prayer. Above all he excelled in prayer. The in- 
wardnefs and weight of his fpirit ; the reverence and folem- 
nity of bis addrefs and behaviour ; and the fewnefs and ful- 
els of his words, have often {truck even: ftrangers with ad- 
miration, as they ufed to reach others with confolation. The 
moft awful, living, reverent frame I ever felt or beheld, [ 
mult fay was in his prayer.

Jutation in uncovering the head, and bowing the c Ha Pp. 
body, as owing their original to pride on one 
hand, | Bias 

uncovering the head, bowing, and bending the knee, being 

marks of divine worthip, they think, as fuch, are marks of re- 

verence not due from man to his fellow-creature, but ought to 

be peculiarly referved for the worthip of their Creator, fince, 
according to the do¢trine of the Apoftle Paul, the head is to 

be uncovered in worfhipping him, as a mark of veneration ; and 

to him and his name alone every knee muft bow. Now (fay 

they) he that kneeleth and proftrateth himfelf to man, what 

doth he more to God? He that boweth to the creature, what 

hath he referved for the Creator. 

Secondly, the example and doétrines of the primitive Church 
are again{t fuch practices. Peter's refufal of fuch external 
marks of reverence from Cornelius amounts to a prefumptive 
demonttration that fuch figns of veneration were neither afed, 
nor allowed among Chriftians in their {tate of primitive purity : 
And in the Angel’s refufing the like expreflion of adoration 
from John, faying, «¢ See thou do it not: Iam thy fellow-fer- 
‘« yant, and of thy brethren, worfhip God,” we have the fenfe 
‘of fuperior Beings (who have a clearer notion of the fitnefs of 
things, and of divine perfeétion, and approach nearer thereunto 
than the fhort-lived, dim-fighted inhabitants of this globe, that 
worlhip, and the external figns thereof belong to God only. 

Thirdly, they fcruple compliance with thefe cuftoms be- 
caufe they were received (among{t many other grofs corrup- 
tions of Chriftianiry) through the polluted channel of Pagan- 
ifm in its moft corrupted {tate. The eaftern monarchs, ener- 
vated by luxury, intoxicated by the flattery of pernicious pa- 
rafites, and debauched by pride and by power, were fo elevated 
above the common ftate of mankind, that they feemed to look 
upon themfelves as fomething more than mortals ; and demand~ 
ed and received the moft humiliating figns of reverence to their 
perfons from thofe who approached their prefence; and the 
moft extravagant titles of adulation from all who prefumed to 
addrefs them. But the more virtuous and wifer Greeks 
refufed to comply with thefe abjeét modes of accefs and 
interview, as unbecoming from man to man. Yet this 
conduct of the Greeks feems to have met with applaufe 

-and approbation, whilft the like conduét in the Quakers 
is cenfured and condemned; a fignal inftance of the par- 
tial, and inconfiftent judgments of men, when fafhion, and not 
propriety is the rule they judge by. '

vine attributes while living, and enrol them among their ima- 
ginary Deities when dead. ‘To an extravagance of Idolatry, 
as irreconcileable to the whole tenor of Chriftianity as light is 
to darknefs, or ‘Chrift to Belial. For thefe reafons, this peo- 
ple, endeavouring to regulate their conduét and their con- 
Sciences by the light they were favoured with, one might rea- 
fonably expect fhould have met with indulgence, rather than 
erfecution and infult from the prefent rulers and teachers, 
whofe profefled principle was that every man ought to dircét 
his confcience and interpret the fcriptures according to his own 
convictions, light and apprehenfions. What was the ground 
of the firft reformation from Popery, but a well-founded ap- 
prehenfion, that in phat fyftem the beauty of Chriftianity was 
marred, and the fpirit thereof loft by the introduétion of fo- 
reign ceremonies, and the heterogeneous mixture of Gentile 
cultoms ? And what was the ground of diffent from this fir{t 
reformation, but an apprehenfion that it retained too much of 
this foreign mixture? If thefe reformers ju(tify themfelves in 
their refpective feparations from churches appearing to them.

practice which hath not the ftamp of divine authority upon it 5 
much more that which in their apprehenfion may be offenfive 
to the Almighty, by robbing him of his honour in a commu- 
nication thereof to fallible man? 

Laftly, as feekers after, and promoters of pure religion and 
primitive Chriftianity, they felt themfelves reftrained from 
practices, not only contrary to the nature and fpirit of Chrif- 
tianiry in their original ; byt tending to defeat the end thereof 
in their effect, as fupplying {trength and nourifhment to pride 
and vanity in man, which the Gofpel is plainly defigned to 
weaken and deftroy; and in ftead thereof to introduce hymility 
and mecknefg into the foul,

him an opportunity of being tried or difcharged, 
appears to me a tacit confeflion that the magif-

Mansfield Woodhoufe, {peaking to the prieft and c H A P. 


congregation in their public place of worfhip, 
the people affaulted him in a furious manner, 
ftruck him down, and beat him cruelly with their 

hands, 


revenge, and violating of the peace and order of civil fociety ; 


which is another in{tance of the partial bias of this writer, as 
he had as plain an account of this riot in W. Sewel’s hiltory 
as of the part he felected, But perhaps he might fufpect that 
an exhibition of fuch conduét might depreciate his character 
of the temper of the times, and {tate of religion under the in- 
ftruction and through the zealous labours of the late diffent- 
ing pattors, now the eftablifhed preachers, which he thus de- 
{cribes: Anno 1647, ‘* The laws againft vice and jmmora- 
“ lity were ftriatly executed, the Lord’s day was duly ob- 
* ferved, the churches were crowded with attentive hearers, 


‘<6 family devotion was in repute, neither fervants nor children 
'& being allowed to walk in the fields, or frequent the public 


** houfes; there was a zeal for Gad, and a much greater ap- 
“© pearance of fobriety, virtue and true religion than before 
* the civil war, or after the b/efed reftoration.”’? And anno 
1649, ‘¢ There was a great appearance of fobriety both in 
s* city and country ; the indefatigable pains of the Prefbyte- 
“ rian minifters in catechifing, inftruéting and vifiting their 
“« parifhioners, can never be fufficiently commended. The 
‘¢ whole nation was civilized.’”’ I mean not to detraét in the 
leaft from real merit, or deny diligence in difcharge of duty 
to be very commendable and meritorious, fo far. But without 
tranfgrefling the bounds of candour or charity, the hiftory of 


‘this age authorizeth the opinion, that the religion of the ume 


had. too much of the Pharifaical leaven ; in the general more 
fpecious than folid; productive of a demure aufterity rather 
than real internal holinefs. Stri€tnefs in outward obfervations 
and appearances, while the fanctifying virtue of pure religion, 
which cleanfeth the infide and deftroyeth fin in the root, was 
too little regarded ; under all the appearance of fobriety and 


virtue, a root of bitternefs remained uspurged out in many, 


ready on the leaft oppofition or provocation to break out into 
acts of open violence and vindi¢tive abufe. The common peo- 
ple as prone to tumult and excefs of rict.as in a more licen- 
tious age ; which difpofitions are fcarcely lefs oppofite to the 


‘genuine {pirit of Chriftianity, defigned to promote peace on . 


earth and good will to men, than profanenefs or immorality.

then delivering, or attempting to deliver, theirc Ha P. 


fentiments in quietnefs (as far as I can difcover 
from their accounts) and in as few words as pof- 
fible, for which they were often treated with 
great violence and outrage ; and to palliate fuch 
treatment, lreconcileable to the profeffed purity 
of this period, or to the good order of civil fo- 
ciety, great pains have been taken to defcribe 
their condué& in terms of aggravation to a hei- 
nous offence, and at this day may feem to de- 
ferve cenfure: Let us take a retrofpective view 
of the manners and principles of that age, and 
I think we may find fome caufe of excufe for 
their feeming intrufion. This people were not 
fingle, at that time, in their fentiments cancern- 
ing the Gofpel-hberty of prophefying : But the 


‘Independents alfo as well as the Baptifts adopted 


the opinion, that the ordained minifters or paf- 
tors had not, by any ordination of Chrift, or the 
order obferved amongft the primitive Chriftians, 
an exclufive right of {peaking in the church, but 


that all properly gifted, might fpeak one by one. 
‘Jt had been during the time of the civil war, 


and ftill continued to be no unufual practice for 
Jaymen, foldiers and others to {peak or preach in 
the public places of worfhip and elfewhere, - with 
the connivance, if not with the approbation of 


, the ruling powers. Oliver Cromwell, in his cor- 
-yefpondence with the minifters of Scotland in 
_the next year 1650, after the battle of Dunbar, 
. windicates the practice. Oliver having made an 


offer, to the minifters who had taken fanctuary 


in the caftle of Edinburgh, or had fled, of free 
privilege to return to their refpective parifhes ; 


the Scotch minifters in,reply objected his opening 


| the pulpit doors to all intruders, by which means — 
a flood of errors was broken in upon the nation;

By this it appears evident that a participation 
of the laity in minifterial offices was not only 
allowed but patronized by fome of the leading 
men of that time. If then fome members of 
this infant fociety, under perfuafion of duty, at 
times made ufe of the liberty allowed to others, 
(and to feveral of themfelves, *till they joined 
this fociety) to deliver a fhort exhortation, moft. 
generally at the clofe of their worfhip, to the 
people affembled, as a full opportunity to dif- 
charge their duty; to give them contumelious 
and violent abufe on that account was as con- 
 tradi€tory to the profeffed principles of the In- 
dependents, and thofe. free notions of civil and 
’ religious liberty which they had_ been fo attive 
in diffeminating, as to religion and the civili- 
zation boafted of ; and adminifters ground for 
fufpicion that they: propagated thefe reafonable 
‘principles chiefly with finifter views, or by li- 
berty meant, as is too common, liberty only to 
‘themfelves. It is certain this fociety enjoyed a 
very precarious liberty under their rule,

2 George Fox’s Journal, Pp: 29, F 
> + An aa of ordinance had been pafled near three months 
before by the parliament againft feveral athei/'ical, bla/phemous 
and execrable opinions derogatory ta the honour of God, and 
tending to the diffolution of human fociety, § Enaéting, that 
any perfons not diftempered in their brains, who fhall main- 
tain any mere creature to be God, or to be infinite, almighty, 
&c. or fhall deny the holinefs of God; or fhall maintain 
that all aéts of wickednefs and unrighteoufnefs are not for- 
-bidden in holy fcripture ; or that God approves of them. 
Any one who fhall maintain, that aéts of drunkennefs, adul- 
tery, {wearing, &c. are not in themfelyes fhameful, wicked, 
finful and impious ; or that there is not any real difference be- 
tween moral good and evil; all fuch perfons fhall fuffer fix 
months imprifonment for the firft offence, and for the fecond 
fhall be banifhed ; and if they return without licenfe fhall be 
treated as felons. 
Several other efforts were made to draw fundry members of 

-this fociety within the terms, and under the penalties of this 
act, by accufations of blafphemy, which could never be proved | 
again{t them.

And whereas the mittimus alledgeth, thatc HA Pp, 


upon their examination they confeffed them, 
viz. their b/a/phemous opinions, how far that was 
true will beit appear from the examination it- 
felf, which, by George Fox’s journal, was to 
this purport : 

.> The magiftrates afked, why they came thi: 
ther? George Fox anfwered, ** God, who dwell- 
“* eth not in temples made with hands moved us 
* to do fo.”” He obferved farther, all their preach. 
ing, baptifm and facrifices would’ never fandify 
them, and bade them to look unto Chrift in 
them, and not unto men, for it is Chrift thag 
fanctifies. And as they were very full of words, 
fome time difputing, and fome time deriding, he 
told them, They were not te difpute of God'and 


Chrift, but obey him. At laft they afked hint. 


if he was fanctified ; he replied ‘ yes.” ‘If he 
“* had no fin:’’ his anfwer was, “ Chrift my Savi- 
“ our hath taken away my fin, and in him 
“¢ thereisno fin.’”’ To the next queftion, ** How 
© they knew Chrift, was, in them ?” he replied, 
‘¢ By his Spirit, which he hath given us.” ‘Then 
they were afked' if any of them were Chrift: to 
which infidious query he anfwered ‘* Nay, we 
** are nothing ;, Chrift is all.” They next que- 
ried, “‘ If a man fteal, is it no fin?” to which 
he replied, “ All unrighteoufneis is fin.” 

Had. thefe magiftrates been principled apainft 
the belief of any fupernatural influence; had 
they, been men who efteemed al! pretences to 
infpiration as mere delufion, it might adminifter 
lefs caufe of admiration if they fliould interpret 
George Fox’s reafon for coming to Derby, and 
ay directing them to aie in them, as implying

CHAP, blafphemous opinions. But for two independent 
__, Juttices, and one of them [Barton] a preacher,, 
who being an officer, I prefume, had received § 
ho regular ordination, and therefore had no coms'# 
miffion to preach, but a pretended or real gift, 
_and how are fpiritual gifts received if not by in 
' fpiration? For magiftrates whofe own tenets im. 
plied a fupernatural influence, and admitted no 
interference of the civil power in fpiritual con. 
cerns, but were pointed in favour of univerfal’ 
toleration ; for men profefling fuch principles 
to commit to prifon an inoffenfive man, only for 
his religious opinions, in many refpects not far’ 
different from thofe profefled by them, and which | 
the fequel hath proved were neither derogatory to fy 
the honour of God, nor prejudicial to human fociety; Wy 
but the very reverfe, is utterly irreconcileable to —# 
every idea which hiftory gives usof independency; Be 
and a remarkable inftance of the inconfiftency 
of men with themfelves in different ftations of | 
life. Bn 
For it appears evident to me that thefe ma- 
iftrates, tainted with the general averfion | caufe- 4 
lefsly conceived againft this people, were defirous 4 
to find an occafion to proceed to feverity, in \ jy 
order as far as in their power to reprefs their “f) 
growth, and that not being able to prove. any) 
blafphemy from George’s public declaration, | 
they fpent fo many hours in examining and de- | 
| liberating, to fee if they could extort fome uns aie, 
. . wary conceffion, which might furnifh a. more ¥ 
' plaufible pretext to accomplifh their purpofe. si 
The two laft queftions appear to be put with a 
plain defign to’ make him an offender under the E 
terms of the act, which defign being defeated by “J 
his anfwers, they proceed, notwithftanding, to \ 
involve him in the punithment prefcribed for

blafphemy therein, although unconviéted, in ma-c H A P. 
nifeft contradiction to their avowed principles of — '" 
toleration. Speculative principles frequently 
prove too weak a check to human paffions and 
prejudices, to prevent thefe latter from becoming 
the {pring of action, with men poffefled of power 
to gratify them. 

- George Fox was now prevented from travel-Employs ' 
ling by his confinement, but his mind, a¢tively et es 
impelled by perfuafion of duty, to advance the fundry epi 
truth he believed in, to promote righteoufnels, (acre 
and to teftify again{t iniquity, did not fuffer him 

to reft unemployed, for during his confinement 

he was much exercifed in writing, particularly 

to the * priefts and the magiftrates of Derby : 

To the former, that if they had received the 
Gofpel freely, they fhould minifter it freely, 
without money or without price. That if they 
maintained the fcripture to be their rule they 

ought to manifeft that it was fo, not by words 

only, but by the conformity of their lives to the 
doétrines and precepts thereof. ‘To the magif- 

trates, repeatedly pointing out the injuftice and 
inconfiftency of perfecution and oppretlion for 
religion: That the magi/trate is fet for the pu- 
nifbment of evil-doers, and for the praife of them 

that do well. 

. 4 Neither was he, under his reftraint, unmind. 

ful of his principal concern, the inftruction and 
confirmation of’ thofe who had been convinced 

by his miniftry.:’ He’ wrote a paper to be fpread 

abroad amongft ‘his friends and other well dif- 

pofed people, for the opening their underftand- 

ings in the way of truth, and directing them 

to the true teacher in themfelves,

ginal of this denomination, but this is taken from George ‘) 2 
Fox’s journal, which I apprehend the onty authentic account e a 
we have. Neale, who is followed by Mofheim, difcovers on: 
feveral occafions a very inimical bias when he {peaks of this 9). 
people, as will more fully appear when we proceed to the re 
view of their treatment in New England. And on this occa9 a 
fion in particular his ¢verfion and contempt are notorioufly ma. om 
nifeft, in his opprobrious defcription approaching to fcurrility Be 
Tt was (faith he) in the year 650, that thefe wandering’ 
lights firft received the denomination of Quakers, upon thig ¢ 
ground, thar their {peaking to the people was ufually attended yi. 
with convulfive agonies and fhakings of the body. When ‘gm | 
George Fox appeared before Gervas Bennett, Efq; one of | 
the juftices of Derby, he had one of his agitations or fits of 5] 
trembling upon him, and with a loud voice and vehement /} 
emotion of body bid the juftice and thofe about him tremblq ° 
at the word of the Lard, whereupon the juftice gave him and % 
his friends the name of Quakers. Now whence he received *4 
his information of the attendant circumftances we are to feek; : ae 
he quotes no authority, nor could he who dates his preface in g 
1737 {peak his own knowledge of tranfactions + ay feventy 4 n° 3 
or eighty years before ;-and abftraéting the air of ridicule and “% a a. 
cenfure in which this defcription is exhibited, what does it a 
amount to? no certain fymptom of error. We readily admit | 
thefe promulgators of primitive Chriftianity had no univerfitys 
education, were not trained in {chools of oratory ; it was plaiq &

him for his releafe upon bail, offering to be es re- 
bound in one hundred pounds, and others of ie hate 
Derby in fifty pounds with them ; whereupon he 
was brought before the juftices, but he refufed 
his content to the bail, becaufe he thought the

good behaviour, and come no more thither to 
cry again{ft the priefts) in one part, a ground- 
lefs impeachment of his chara€ter, who was in- 
nocent of ill-behaviour; and in the other, a 
reftraint from duty. Juftice Bennet, who, I con- 
jecture, would willingly have got rid of him, 
faving his honour, being tranfported with paf- 
fion to a- degree unbecoming his office as keeper 
of the peace, rofe up in a rage, and as George 
was kneeling down to pray for him, he fell fu-

Suffered and died at Ferufalem, which Georgec HA P. 


allerted to be utterly falfe, “ and the leaft thoughts 
** of it, (Laid he) never came into our hearts.” 
Although the civil war in England was ter- 
minated by the death of the late king, and the 
independent parliament was fixed in the feat of 


government. 


fo called, (like Daniel praying with his windows open towards 
Jerufalem, contrary to the king’s decree) fteadily adhered to 
their principles, and openly profeffed them, without fhrinking 
at the danger, or fkulking in corners to avoid detection. They 
were not afhamed to avow their principles, nor afraid of fuf- 
fering for them ; fo far were they from not daring to prefume 
upon the indulgence of the civil or ecclefiaftical powers, in pre- 
ferving the teftimony of a good confcience. 
How egregioufly uncandid then, uncharaéteriftic and ill- 
founded is the infinuation, as if the Quakers privately held 
one opinion, and for fear of detection ptblicly avowed the 
contrary ; and what proof or authority doth he advance in 
fapport of this difingenuous innuendo? truly none at all. Is the 
Chancellor of the univerfity of Gottingen a title of fuch con- 
fequence as to make his if/e dixit pafs for a demonftration, or 
is the teftimony of an high Dutch D. D. to whom this peo- 
ple were not known, deferving of any credit, without the 
cleareft and moft ‘inconteftible authority? I have not the op- 
portunity of as intimate an acquaintance with the Americans 
as the Europeans ; yet I believe that the faith of the people 
called Quakers is the fame in this refpect all the world over ; 
and although the difcipline exercifed amongft them relates 
chiefly to their moral conduét, yct I am firnily perfuaded that 
if any member or any body of that people fhould maintain the 
doftrine, which this author infinuates they do, the body at 
large, in their collective capacity, would reject them and their 
doétrine together. And really, when fo heavy a charge is re- 
corded as hiftory with an air of confidence, upon no better 
grounds than. hearfay, one is apt to be at a lofs which to ad- 
mire moft, the want of charity, modefty or integrity in the 
writer. 
This paflage alfo conveys a caution how warily we ought to 
receive for truth the calumnious reprefentations of this people 
at this era, when we find how readily every wild notion or ac- 
tion of any perfon, whom chance threw amongft them, though 
not of their pales at all, was by public rumour allixed to them,

a year, the companion of thieves (except that tmprifoned 
he was allowed the privilege of walking in the smongi fe 
garden fometimes.) What power of arbitrarily ~ 
imprifoning thefe commiffioners were invefted 
with, or whether by martial or civil law, or any 
law but that of their own wills, we are unin- 
formed But this feems certain, that they were 
filled with rage again{t him, and had power to 
gratify it; which they did with unjuttifiable fe- 
verity: For what .greater punifhment could be 
inflicted on a tender innocent youth, who feared 
God, and detefted every fpecies of wickednefs, 
than to be thus pent up and confined in the com- 
pany and converfation of the vileft of mankind. 
It was in fome degree analogous to the cruelty 
of the tyrant, who is feigned to have tied the 
living to the dead: Their bad expreflions, and 
the obfcenity of their conduct and converfation, 
were no lefs grievous to him than the filthinefs 
and inconvenience of the prifon in which they 
were {towed together. However, not difcouraged 
by the profpect of the danger he might be ex- 
pofed to, he felt himfelf frequently conftrained 
to reprove them for their wicked words and evil 
_ carriage towards each other. Yet it doth not ap- 
pear he received any ill ufage from them, and 
people wondered he was fo preferved from harm 
amongit fuch company : And thofe who watched 
for his halting could never catch a word or ac- 
tion from him to turn to his difadvantage, which 
he did not attribute to his own wifdom or 
ftrength, but to the preferving power of that 
- Divine Being, to whole fervice he was fincerely 
devoted.

vinced. 

The Scots, after the unfavourable battle of 
Dunbar, were obliged to admit their king to a 
greater participation of power than before that 
event their jealoufy of him- fuffered them to en- 
truft him with, and to admit him to a com- 
mand in their army, which was fo advantaye- 
oufly pofted, and fo well fupplied with provi- 
fions from the northern parts, that Cromwell was 
unable to force them to an engagement, and 
therefore pafled northward in order to cut off 
their provilions, but by this movement left the 
pafles into England unguarded. Charles, in ex- 
pectation of being joined by all his friends, and 
the malecontents under the prefent govern- 
ment, feized the advantageous opportunity pre+ 
fented to him, and advanced by great marches 
into the heart of England. Cromwell, to re- 
pair this overfight, purfuing with equal alacrity, 
overtook and defeated the Scots at Worcefter, 
which finally decided the conteft, and left the 
independent parliament undifputed mafters of 
the empire. 

P This fudden and. unexpected invafion with- 
out doubt created a great alarm in the nation, 
and excited the adherents to the prefent go- 
vernment to zealous exertions in procuring re- 
cruits from all quarters, to repel the invaders ; 
upon this occafion Juftice Bennet fent a con- 
{table to prefs George Fox for a foldier; but 
he who would not voluntarily accept of a com- 
mand, and that from a confcientious {cruple, 
was not like to comply with their requifition. 
The conftables brought him before the commif- 

fioners,

into the military line, and he acting upon pring im 
ciple, and perfifting in his refufal, they com. 
mitted him to clofe imprifonment, without bail \ 
or mainprize ; whereupon he again appealed to 
their feelings in a letter addrefled to Colonel 1% 

, Barton, and the reft who were concerned in his |B. 
ovens in which, through the fimplicitysg z 
of his ftyle, ‘the chriftian temper which dictated \\) 
it is apparent; in fubftance as follows : %

Col Bar. and.one of you a minilter of Jefus Chrift, con- By 

ton, &e. fider neither he nor his apoftles did ever impri- «9 

fon any; but his command was, “ Love your” be 
<< enemies, and do good to them that hate you.” 

The love of God perfecuteth none, but loveth | 
all: Take heed of owning Chrift in words, 
and denying him in life and power. The im- 
prifoning my body is to gratify your own wills, 
but beware of giving way thereto, for that. 
will hurt you. If the love of God had [ten- © 
dered] your hearts ye would not have impri- 
foned me, but my love is to you as to all my 
fellow-creatures; and my intent in writing to 
you is, [in order] that you may [be incited to] | 
weigh yourfelves, [in the balance of coe 
and equity] and fee how you ftand. [approved 
in the fight of God } 

It is not improbable that this letter, together . 
with the innocency and circumfpection of his 
conduct, made an impreflion upon them; for 
they now began to grow uneafy about him, from. 
a ea nuluck: 1 fuppofe, of their exertion of 
an arbitrary and unjult power again{t an inoffen-

tual to the convincement of many people, and 
amongft them fome perfons of account: Captain 
Purfloe and juftice Hotham were in the number 
of his friends and favourers of his doétrine, 
being convinced in their underftandings, though 
it‘doth not appear they openly joined him in 
profefion, yet their countenance and favour were 
conducive to protect him from the infults and 
abufe, to which in fome other places he had been 
expofed. 

> That an extraordinary power attended his 
miniftry in this place appears from a relation of 
this juftice Hotham, ‘‘ That a-great woman 
“ coming to him upon bufinefs, told him in dif- 
© courfe that the laft fabbath-day there was an

‘feem thé: effect of a fuperftitious imagination, 


yet ber account bears the marks of «an uncom- 


‘mon influence attending’ his miniltry, whereby 
‘the audience were greatly affected, 


‘In the afternoon of the fame day he went’ fo

dirt, he only endeavoured to convince them of

how inconfiftent their conduct was with the

honoured Chriftianity thereby : and fome mode-

ample, that he was not as thofe whom he found 
it his duty frequently to reprove, who fpeak of 
Chrift and the fcriptures, while they do not con- 
form their lives thereto; but that he was efpe-

by that internal, principle of light and grace 
which. he preached fo others, and by the unifor- _ 
mity of a Chriftian condué to exemplify the ex- 
cellency thereof, .This,' doubtlefs, greatly con- 
tributed to give fuccefs to his plain but prevailing

back the money they had received from the ,-!Y: 
parifh of Colton in Lancafhire for preaching 
there. 

George went from thence to Prefton-Patrick 
and Kendal, ‘at each of which places he had 
meetings to good effect, many being gained over 
to the acknowledgment of the truth publifhed 
by him ; and in thefe places are large meetings 
of the people called Quakers to this day.. From 
Kendal he proceeded to Under-barrow, accom- 
panied by feveral perfons, with whom he had 
much reafoning, efpecially with Edward Bur- 
rough, a young man of good natural parts, yet 
not able to with{tand the folid expreflions and 
weighty truths delivered by George Fox. ‘This 
Edward Burrough became an eminent member 
of this community; and during his fhort life, a 
principal. promoter and fupporter of its caufe, 
both in his difcourfe and writings.

received in his abfence, reprefenting to Sawrey, 
the impropriety and illegality of his conduét in 
fomenting riots and tumults .in the country. 
He .alfo fent forth warrants into the ifle of Wal- Judge Fell

‘their: profeflion of :religion to be wrong ;” 
which made the judge remark, he fpoke.as of a!

** qwith a carnal body. Both the temper of the good vicar," 
“ and the complexion of his divinity, may pethaps be inferred 
from this anecdote. ’ i 
“« The evidence of Higginfon carries with it all the marks 
“« of that wanton exaggeration which charaéterifes perfonal ® a 
“* animofity. ‘The charge is fupported by no proof. Gerard ' 
** Croefe, indeed, in his Hiftory of the Quakers, mentions , 
** a petition from the minifters, and fundry other perfons of 
«« Lancafhire, againft George Fox, James Naylor, and their 
‘© aflociates, in which they are accufed of foaming at the 
«¢ mouth in their conventicles, and of other {trange agitations ; 
** and George Fox, in particular, of having faid that he. was 4 
“* equal to God, the only Judge of the World, Chrift, the”, 
*« Way, the Truth, and the Life. One James Melver (per- “598 
«* haps Milner) was alfo charged with faying that he was God 
« and Chrift, and with prophefying that the day of judg- 
«* ment was at hand, that there fhould be no more juftices in ” 
«¢ Tancafhire, and that the parliament fhould be plucked up + 
«« by the roots, Higginfon’s narrative and this petition bear_ 
s¢ {triking marks of affinity with each other, and probably 
«¢ fprung from the fame fource. Croefe, however, who was i 
“ no ak nor is his hiftory partial to the Quakers, ace 
knowledges, $ that thefe charges were fo completely re- 
futed, that it was apparent they who invented them were 
wicked men, and they who believed in them were fools? © 
«« He excepts the mad prefumption of Melver (or Milner), © 
whom he fays the Quakers rebuked. ‘The truth is, that‘) 
as the Quakers, for the reafon above-mentioned, were ef-' 
pecially fingled out as the objects of prieftly indignation, 
every rumour to their difadvantage was eagerly adopted, « 
and frequently {pread with ciccumftances of aggravation. « 
; «© Thus a Vicar of Wakefield, whofe name was Marfhal, . 
reported of George Fox, that he rode upon a great black 
“ horfe, and was feen within an hour at two places fixty miles « 
diflant from each other. If the papers of this Vicar were | 
narrowly fearched into, it might, poilibly, be found record-  * 
ed as his opinion, that the firlt Quakers were witches. Teng 
mult, notwithftanding, be acknowledged, that it was not 
unufual for fome of the molt zealous to go fometimes into 
¢ the public places of worfhip, and after the preacher had .

Thomas Aldam, one of thofe early preachers, eos: 
was alfo imprifoned this year in York, at the in- Thonadals 
{tigation of the prieft of Warnfworth, for utter- gon sop 
ing fome expreflions after the prieft had ended 
his fermon. At York aflizes he was fined 4ol. 
for coming into the court with his hat on; and 
was a fecond time imprifoned in York caftle for 
refufing to pay tithes, and detained in prifon two 
years and fix months. He had alfo, for 111]. 10s. - 
_ demanded for tithes, taken from him goods worth 
581. ros. 
In the courfe of the fame year feveral others, 
whofe religious concern induced them to exhort 
the priefts and their congregations at the clofe 
- of their public affemblies for worfhip, met with 
the like fevere treatment ; but to defcribe parti- 
cularly the fufferings they underwent for their 
Chriftian teftimonies, would carry me far beyond 
my propofed limits. Their fuffering in the dif- 
ferent counties of England and elfewhere, have 
been digefted by Jofeph Beffe, and make two vo- 


lumes in folio.

«“ Amidft the fwarm of feéts which diftinguifh the laft 
“ century, there was one, of which little is now known, but 
«‘ that the praétices of its adherents outraged all decency and 
«* order. They were called Ranters. ‘The enemies of the 
“ Quakers found it frequently fuitable to their purpofe to 
« confound them with this ephemeron fect, whofe principles 
«© were neverthelefs totally incompatible with thofe of the 
“ Quakers. There is a paper ftill extant, written by Ed- 
« ward Burroughs, an active preacher amongft the Quakers, 
“ againft the licentious practices of thefe people.”

On the market-day, he went up to the Mar- Serpe 
ket-crofs, and cautioned the people againft fraud at Carkie 
and over-reaching in their dealings, and to {peak ae at 
the truth one to another. On the firft day fol- katte 
lowing’ he went.to the Steeple-houfe, and after and at the 
the prieft had done he preached to the people Pebe 
. with a reaching power. “The rude people of the 
town rofe and affaulted him in the Steeple-houfe ; 
but the governor fent down fome mufqueteers to 
appeafe the tumult, who, taking George by the 
hand in a friendly manner, led him out and ref- 
cued him from further infult. A lieutenant who 
had been convinced took him to his houfe, and — 
there they had a quict and fatisfactory meeting. 
‘The next day he was fummoned before the ma- Summoned 
giftrates, who falling into difcourfe with him aailtons 
upon religion, in the courfe of their converfa- 
tion, perceiving their emptinefs as to the eflence 
thereof, he endeavoured with his accuftomed 
fincerity to fhew them, that although they were =—._—, 
high in profeffion (being Prefbyterians and Inde- 
pendents) yet they were without the pofleflion of 
what they profeffed. This plain dealing exafpe- 
rating them, who, it’s too probable, affected 
the name of religious men, and the appearance’ 
of purity more than the fubftance of pure reli- 
gion; they committed him to prifon under the and com- 
hard names of a bla/phemer, an heretic and a fe- rh é 
ducer, where he lay ’till the affizes. And in the 
interim the general difcourfe was, and from the 
difpofition that prevailed againft him at this time 
and in this place, it’s to be feared, the general _ : 
with was that he was to be hanged. ‘The high Rumour of

-Whilft he was confined in the dungeon here, - 

among others who came to vifit and difcourfe james Bar- 

with him was one James Parnel, a youth of PEER 

about fixteen years of age, who was by his con- Geo. Fox. 

ference fo effectually reached that he was con. 

vinced, received the truth in the love of it, and 

foon became a powerful minifter himfelf, and 

the means of convincing many others, proving 

himfelf by his pen and his tongue, in the zea-. 

lous promotion of folid religion, a workman 

that need not to be afhamed ; although for thefe 

zealous endeavours he underwent grievous per- 

fecution, as will hereafter appear. ' 
The report that had been raifed previous to The parlia-

'* This was the parliament that is diftinguifhed by the 
denomination of darebones, and by fome by that of the fhort . 
parliament, being a number of one hundred and twenty 
fummoned by Oliver Cromwell, in order to amufe the people - 
with fome refemblance of a common-wealth, to take upon’ 
them the executive part of government. Many of them | 
being feleéted from the middle rank of the people have given gaotter, 
occafion to fundry hiftorians to characterize them in terms 
remarkably contemptuous, as men of the loweft birth and 
meaneft intelleéts, chofen by Cromwell, particularly for 
their want of knowledge and experience in affairs, in profpect ° 
that the reins of government might revert into his own 
hands: But others fpeak of them with more refpect, as a 


"convention in which were feveral perfons of worth, fortune M‘Aulay, 


and abilities ; and as the principal objection to their conduct 
feems to be a project they were defigning to put in execu- 
tion, which the people had been flattered with the hopes of 
before but difappointed, viz. the abridging of the delay and 


expenfe of aw-fuits, and abolifhing tithes. 1 am ready ta_

in the. work of the miniftry, in obedience to | 
what he believed his duty, proceeded on his aa 
journey, in which, for publifhing thofe dorines APS3e< 
which-he held as truth, he met with much griev- 
ous abufe. At Skipton and at Doncafter he 
_was fo forely beaten and bruifed by the rude- 
multitude that they left him to appearance dead ; 
but being fupported by an invifible hand he re- 
covered, even to the aftonifhment of thofe who 
abufed him, and to the convincement of man 
who had heard his doétrine, and obferved his 
patience in fuffering nigh unto death, and the 
unchriftian and unprovoked malice of his af- 
failants and their abettors. Thomas Briggs in 
Lancafter, Robert Widders and William Dewl- 
bury in Cumberland, were alfo feverally abufed 
in like manner. 

But {till through all oppofition, patient and The is 
undifmayed, through divine affiftance and fup- people tend 
port, George Fox and _ his fellow-labourers per- to the en-, 
fevered in their miniftry with unremitted zeal their num- ~ 
and remarkable fuccefs, the number of their er 
adherents encreafing in proportion to the cruel 
efforts exerted by magiftnates, priefts and mobs, 
to prevent their encreafe. E-ven thefe meafures, 
employed to ftop their progrefs, proved, in the 
over-ruling hand of divine providence, the 
means of advancing it. ‘Lhe innocence and in- 
‘tegrity of their lives, the fortitude and chriftian. 
temper with which they fuffered perfecution, 

~ buffeting and. grievous abufe, pleaded powerfully 
in their behalf, and procured them the com-. 
paffion and efteem of many. Others who heard

‘engaging, folicitous for the advancement of the

kers that had a meeting in London, Francis How- Aas 
-gill and Anthony Pearfon at the houfe of Robert who vifited 
Dring in Watling-ftreet, and Edward Burrough P< 9°" 


the fame day in the aflembly of a feparate fo- 
ciety: Their minifterial labours were bleffed 
with. fignal fuccefs, being attended with a con- 
vincing power, imprefling awful confiderations, 
and awakening the confciences of the audience 
to a fenfe of their conditions and earneft defires 
after falvation. They were eminently qualified 
for the fervice in which they. were engaged, not 
‘only with found underftanding and a fufficient 
fhare of literature, but the fuperior qualification 
of the experience of the quickening power of 
that inward religion ; which they endeavoured to 
recommend and propagate; a religion not amufing 
‘the head in curious {peculations, but purifying 
the heart and cleanfing the confcience from dead 
works to ferve the Lerd in newnefs of life; pre- 
pared for the work of the; miniftry by the pre- 
vious work of inward fanétification, and_believ- 
ing themfeives to that arduous undertaking called 
of God as was Aaron.

man, nor ftand in the will of man, but when he Shall 

1654, move us to depart who moved us to come hither we 

by whom Jal! obey: We are free-born Englifomen, and have 

ter gre ferved the commonwealth faith fully, being free in 

part the ci the fight of God from the tranfgreffion of any law: 

Ys. To your commands we cannot be obedient ; but if by 

violence you put us out of the city, and have power 

to do it, we cannot refi/t. Waving faid this, they 

went out of the court, but tarried in the city 

preaching as before ; for though the mag iftrates : i 

bare them no good will, yet they could not either |; 

by law or juftice execute the order they had! 

The mob» made. The oppofers of the truth, enraged at 

inttigated to this difappointment, excited the mob to do what 

friends, the magiftrates could not. On the 1gth of De. 

cember John Camm and John Audland, pafling} 

over the bridge toward Briflington, where they 

had appointed a meeting, were aflaulted by fome 

hundreds of the rabble, whofe ignorant zeal had ¥ 

been blown up to the higheft pitch of fury by% 

one Farmer, a perfecuting prieft, and fome others, } 

ese it They violently drove back the innocent ftrangers, & é 
grofman- ome crying out, hang them prefently, others, ¥ 

her, knock them down ; F and would have dragged them ? uy 

out of the city, in order to execute their wicked / 

purpofe, but were difluaded by fome who ad- - | 

vifed firft to carry them before the mayor. ‘ 

Then they dragged them to the Tolzey, where » 

the courts of juitice are held. There again the } 

enraged mob would probably have torn them to } 

pieces, had not a friend with much danger and = 

difficulty got them into his houfe and fhut the iq 

doors. The rabble with hideous noife threatened ¥ 

to pull down the houfe, while the innocent men: 

remained as lambs dumb before their Jbearers, in @ 

quietnefs and patience, yet undaunted, mare)

their truft.in God. After fome time the officers c H A P. 
of the garrifon approaching, the mob, fearing |" 
military execution, difperfed. Next morning 
the two ftrangers pafled over the bridge to their 
meeting at Briflington. Three of the rioters 
were apprehended, on the report of which they 
gathered again to the number of fifteen hundred, 
and forced the difcharge of their companions. 
Towards evening it was rumoured that the Qua- 
kers were returning, whereupon multitudes drew 
together on the bridge, and on the other fide of 
the river Avon, uttering terrible menaces, fo 
-that the magiltrates, fearing bloodfhed, fent their 
fword-bearer to prevent the men from returning 
that way, for that they could not undertake to fe~ 
cure them. ‘Yhus Providence preferved the inno- 
‘eent from the enraged rabble, whofe fury fpread 
a terror over the whole city. Thefe diforders 
“were too much countenanced by men in office. 
-£Tt was credibly reported that George Helliar, 
an Alderman, faid at the Tolzey, to fome of the 
rioters, that he would /pend his blood, and lofe bis 
life, rather than that any of his fellow apprentices 
Jhould go to prifon: Such familiarity encreafed 
their infolence. » Neverthelefs the magiftrates 
foon after, in reprefenting thefe tumults to the 
Protector, charged the innocent men, againtt 
whom they were raifed as, the authors of them. 
Amidft fo many inftances of arbitrary rule and sutterings.

they fhould be whipped out of the city. Now, 
according to the legal conftitution of the city, 


it was requifite for the mayor to fign a fentence 
of corporal punifhment, and affix his feal of: 


office to make it valid, which in this cafe he re- 
fufed to do, becaufe he could not in confcience 


confent to a fentence, which he thought unmerited' 


and unjuft. But-as a fcrupulous adherence to 
legal forms was too often made to give way to 
the gratification of a vindictive temper in ma- 
giftrates, actuated more by caufelefs hatred to 


this people, than regard to juftice or humanity, : 


the Vice-chancellor and his coadjutors refolved, 
fince the mayor would not legalize the fentence 


by the fanétion of his fignature, they would: 


have it executed: without him, and accordingly 


gave orders that the poor women fhould: be. fe-. 
verely whipped the next morning, and had their, 
order effectually executed ; though the convic- 


tion of their innocence affefted the heart even 


of the executioner to that. degree, that he per- 


formed his office with manifeft reluctance. ‘lhe 


women bearing their grievous fufferings with. 
Chriftian patience, without murmuring or com-. 


plaining in the leaft, their meek and patient be- 


haviour imprefled many of the fober inhabi- 
tants with compaffionate fympathy towards them, 


and induced them to acknowledge them as the 
fervants of God, fupported by his divine power 
to bear their teftimony with innocence, and 
their fufferings with the patience of faints. With 
fenfations of tender regard to them, and of. dif- 
guft and averfion to the feverity of their perfe- 
cutors, they in much love and tendernels acs 
- companied them ‘out of the city. :

avery different temper, and was very urgent |, 
with him to do it, exprefling the bitternefs of + >* 
his fpirit, in faying, She ought to be whipped for a, 
vagabond. Upon which fhe defired him to prove. 
wherever fbe afked any one, for a bit of bread. At | 
length the prieft’s urgency prevailed over the ee. 
magiftrate’s moderation, by whom fhe was fentjuil, 
to Exeter prifon twenty miles diftant, where fhe 
was detained till the aflizes, but brought to no 
trial; and after the aflizes fhe was lodged one 
night among a great number of gipfies who were 
- there in prifon. . Next day the fheriff coming and cruelly 
with the beadle, brought her into a room, where rere 
fhe was ,very cruelly whipped till the blood ran’ 
down her back ; and fuch was her magnanimity, 
fupported by, an. invifible power, that fhe never 
ftarted at a blow, but fang aloud, rejoicing that 
fhe was counted worthy to fuiler in a. noble 
caufe, the teftimony of a good conicience. ‘The 
_ unfeeling beadle, provoked at her conftancy,: laid 
on his ftripes with redoubled fury, till the fheriff 
feeing that the utmoft exertion of their malice 
made no impreffion upon her, (for fhe was 
{trengthened by an extraordinary and more than 
human power, fo that fhe declared afterwards 
that in the {tate in which fhe was at that time, 
if fhe had been whipped to death fhe fhould not 
- be terrified or difmayed) ordered the fellow to 
defift. The next day fhe was turned out of the. 
city along with the gipfies, the beadle following 
them two miles out of town. Upon his leaving 
them, fhe returned to vifit her friends fhe had 
left behind in prifon, which having done fhe 
went home to Briftol.

their envious defigns again{ft him, and to bring . 1: 

him into trouble, or to put a {top to his tra- 

velling abroad. He went trom Drayton to Lei- Goes fiom: 

cefter, and from. thence to Whetftone, where a Dryton to 
. : : Leicefter 

meeting. was to be held; but before it began, andto ’ 

about ‘feventeen troopers of Colonel Hacker’s Whetfone, 

regiment took him up, and brought him before taken and 

the Colonel and his company of officers, by the prousht be; 

procurement of the priefts as he thought. And Hacker, 

after much difcourfe and reafoning with them, 

the Colonel gave him liberty to go home, provided 

be would flay there and not go abroad to ‘meetings. 

But George being unwilling to agree to the con- 

ditions, his fon Nedham faid, ‘* Father, this man 

‘* hath reigned too long, it is time to have him. 

© cut off.” So malicious a.fpeech drew from 

George this. pertinent query. ‘* For what? 

‘‘ what have I done? or whom have I wronged 

“¢ from a child? In this country I had my birth. 

“© and education, and who can accufe me of 

‘© any evil from my infancy to this day??— 

Then the Colonel afked him, if he would go 

home and ftay at home? George looking upon 

this. requifition as unreafonable, having admi- 

niftered no caufe for fuch: reftriction of his’ li- 

berty, replied, Jf he fhould agree thereto it would 

imply that he was guilty of fomething, for which 

his home was made his prifon: And if he went to 

meeting, they would confider that as a breach of 

their order. ; therefore he plainly told them be /hould 

go to meeting, and could not anfwer their requirings.

to which he fubfcribed his name, and gave it to |, 
Captain Drury to deliver to Cromwell. Some wihwhim 
time after Drury returned, and brought George be haha 
Fox before |the Protef&tor at Whitehall. Upon 
his, coming in he faid, Peace be in this hou/e, 
and exhorted the Protector to keep in the fear of 
God, that he might receive wifdom from him ; that 
by it he might be ordered, and with it might order 
all things under his hand to God’s glory. They 
had much difcourfe about religion, in which the 
Protector ‘carried himfelf with much moderation : 
But remarking that George [ox and his friends 
Phe with the minifters, George told him 

e did not quarrel with them, but they quarrelled 
with him; but, added he, if we own the pro- 
ae Chrift and the apoftles, we cannot up- 

old fuch teachers as they teltified again{t, that 
is, fuch as violate Chrift’s command, in not giving 
freely ; fuch as take the overfight of the flock 
for filthy lucre, and divine for money. When 
George made a motion to retire, upon other 
people coming in, Cromwell took him by the 
hand, and with tears in his eyes faid, Come again 
to my houfe, for if thow and I were but an hour of 
a day together we should be nearer one to another, 
adding, that be wifbed him no more ill than he did 
his own foul. ‘Then George bade him hearken to 


the voice of God, fiand in his counfel and obey it, 


if he did fo it would preferve him from hardnefs of 
heart ; but if not his heart would be hardened. 
The Protector feemed affected, and faid, /t was 


‘true. George then taking his leave retired, and He isdit- 


Captain Drury following him out, informed -him ‘8 


that the Lord Protector faid he was at liberty, 
and might go whither he would.

160 HISTORY or tie 


CHAP. William Caton, about the: fourteenth yeat ot 
his age, by his father’s procurement, was intro. 
16e,, duced into the family of Judge Fell, where his 
Account of agreeable difpofition fo ingratiated him with that. 
igi family, that he was made companion to the 
companion Judge’s fon in his amufements and in his ftudies; | 
Wine, raat learned Latin together for fome time under 
a private tutor, and were afterwards removed to » § 
a public fchool at Hawkfhead for their further. * z 
improvement in the languages, in which he made | 
a good proficiency; for which advantages “% 
had reafon to be humbly thankful to divine pros 9 & 
vidence for allotting him fo favourable a fituati. © 
on; but thefe were not the only advantages hey 
reaped thereby. 
Judge Fell, his wife and daughters, being in 4 t 
general perfons of good fenfe, liberal education, % 
virtuous demeanour, and religious inclinations, \ & 
his converfation in fuch improving company; 3 4 
gave him an early turn to piety and virtue; he 1% 
was very punctual in his private devotions, and ym 
diligent, after hearing a lecture, to tran{cribe the 7. 
chief heads ther eof, in order to improve the fa- 4% 
vourable fentinients the family entertained of him, #1 
it being a point with them at that time to hold in (9% 
higheft eftimation thofe who could repeat. the ~¥ 
fermons they had heard, and paraphrafe there. & 

upon: But whatever praife he might attain there- i 

by from others, he did not feel that inward ap- 
probation therein which could fattaly his own 

- foul. 

Convined In the year 1652 (as before reoitad) George 
Bo Fox came to Swarthmore and preached in the 
family, recommending them to give “heed to the 
light which Chrift hath enlightened us withal, ° %

fo convince us of fin and evil: This foraffected 6 y a p 


William Caton that hé became fubject to this in- 


ternal convincement, whereby he felt much re- 
ftriétion in his conduct, and could no longer 
take the liberties he had done before ; for al- 
though he had not been addicted to vice or pro- 
fanity, yet by the light he faw that he muft be 
alfo weaned from vanity and the common diver- 
fions of youth, which tend to bring the mind 
into a ftate of diffipation, inconfideratenefs and 
unwatchfulnefs, whereby it is in danger to falk 
into the enemy’s fnares, and to be feduced from 
the paths of virtue and righteoufnefs. The di- 
vine witnefs was awakened in his confcience, 
and reproved him for every thing that was con- 
trary to Chriftian gravity, convincing him that 
it was a ferious matter indeed, to ufe all diligence 
to make our calling and eleétion fure. ‘The change 
of company he met with at the fchool at Hawk{- 
head, on comparifon with that he had left at 
Swarthmore, did not fit éafy’ on his mind be- 
fore, but under thefe: folid: impreflions both. his 
companions and exerciies there became quite 
burdenfome. ‘The making of latin verfes caufed 
him particular uneafinefs, as he could not now 
give that fcope to his invention which others 
did, and as he had ufed to do.. Margaret Fell, 


perceiving his uneafinefs in fis prefent fituation, 


caufed him to ftay at home where fhe employed 
him in writing and teaching her children. Being’ 
arrived at his eighteenth year, he was encreafed

examined them, though they had tranfgrefled noc H A Pp. 
law, and prohibited the inhabitants from enter- 
taining them under a penalty, whereupon they 7... ' 
were turned out of their lodgings, but Luke State: 
Howard received them into his houfe, and heard hibited en- 
a) tertainment 
them gladly. The mayor fent four conftables, by the ma- 
with an order, to take them from thence, and pee 
turn them out of the town; but Luke’ aflerting Luke How- 
his right, as a freeman of the corporation, re- 4°. 
fufed to comply with the order, infiiting, that’ 
the mayor had _ no legal authority to violate the 


laws of hofpitality in his houfe, by forcing out 


his guefts, who were no malefactors, nor ac- 


cufed of any crime. ‘They tarried with him 
fome days, and fo confirmed him in the belief 
of their principles, that he publickly declared 
himfelf to be of their perfuafion, and had meet- 
ings afterwards frequently at his houfe. 

Soon after they came to Lidd, where by their Samuel 
miniftry, in conjunétion with that of Thomas ie, °o™ 
Robertfon and Ambrofe Rigge, Samuel Fifher 
being convinced joined their fociety ; he was a account of 
man of good abilities, having received a liberal h™. 
education in his minority, and afterwards pro- 
fecuted his ftudies at the univerfity—while there » 
he was a young man remarkable for his circum- 
fpe€t and pious converfation. When he had 
finifhed his ftudies there he was ordained a 
prieft, and was firft a chaplain to fome man -of 
quality, and afterwards prefented to the living 
at Lidd, worth two hundred pounds a year. 
Before he became acquainted with any of the 
people called Quakers, being confcientioufly en-' 
gaged in feeking after truth, he difcovered that 
infant baptifm was an human inftitution, and:

1654 tisfied in his mind with, the finging of David’s 
' pfalms in the public worfhip, gave his matter, to 
whom he. was apprentice, fo much uneafinefs, 
that he applied to Samuel Fifher, as a learned © 
minifter,, to take an opportunity of a religious ~~ 
conference with him, in order to remove his “ * 
feruples, with whofe requeft complying, Luke |; 
wag very open in declaring the reafons of his — 
feruple, tg the following purport: That God. 
was a {pirit, and to be worfhipped, not in other 
men’s words, but in fpirit and in truth. That 
it was a falfehood, for a proud man. to fing, that, 
** he was, not puffed up in his mind; he had, 
““ no fcornful eye, and he did not exercife, — 
‘ himfelf in things that were too high.’’? That; 
it was abfurd for any man to fing, ‘ Rivers of 
** tears run down mine eyes, becaufe other men 
*¢ keep not. thy laws,’’ whilft he never knew a, 
true forrow and repentance for ‘ his own. fins.” 
The refult of this conference was, that inftead, 
ef removing Howard’s {cruples, thefe reafons of, 
his, had fuch a convincing effeé&é on Samuel, 
Fither’s mind, that he found himfelf reflrained; 
from giving out David’s conditions to, the peo- 
ple to. fing any, more. And at length his conti- : 
nuing to preach for wages, contrary to the in-. mt 
ward conviction of his confcience, becoming a, ° 
burden too grievous for him to bear, he gave a, 
rare inftance of, the honefty of his heart, and. .

con{cience,, by refigning his living, and: divefting ig

man invention and tradition retained in the epif- 
copal: church, he withdrew from its communion; 
and joined the baptifts, amongft whom he be- 
came an eminent teacher. | . 

It was about this time that William Caton and 
John Stubbs came to Lydd, whom Samuel 
Fifher received into his houfe, remembering that 
{cripture exhortation, Le not forgetful to entertain 
Jtrangers.’ John Stubbs going to the baptilts 
meeting where Fifher preached, and having got- 
ten an opportunity to preach the gofpel, accord- 
‘ing to the principles of his friends, he delivered 
his. doétrine with a clearnefs and ‘authority, 
whereby Samuel’ Fifher was fo affected, that he 
foon after openly profetied himfelf of this de- 
{pifed' fociety, particularly on the following oc- 
cafion: Hammond, his colleague in office, in a 
fermion uttering many bitter invedtives againft 
the Quakers, Samuel Fifher, incited by 2 more 
Chriftian temper, and a dilpaffionate regard to 
truth, thought his, duty called upon him, in 
juftice to his mifinformed flock, and the injured 

uakers, to bear his teftimony in oppofition td 
the calumnies of his colleague, but with the mo- 
deration and charity of a Chriitian, exprefling 
himfelf in thefe terms, ‘* Dear brother, you aré 
“ very dear and near to’ me, but the truth is 
“© dearer and nearer: It is the everlafting truth 
* and gofpel which they hold forth.” Which 
tandid expreffions drew one from Hammond, 
ftamped with the’ mark ofa very different {pirit : 
Our brother Fifher is alfo bewitched.” But 
Samucl’s faith was not of ‘that caft, which re-

knowing how long their imprifonment might 
continue, he turned them down to the common } ff 4

-a damp earthen floor, where they lay upon rye«

becaufe they bore their teftimony again{t the 
drunkennefs, fwearing, and other diforders in 
his houfe; and becaufe they reproved him for 
his hypocrify, who, while he fuffered, and for 
his gain promoted thefe diforders, made high 
pretenfions to religion; and on the day called 
Sunday would fummon his prifoners together, 
pretend to give them inftruétion, and exercile a 
kind of devotion among them: for which in- 
confiftency of conduct, and fruits fo oppofite to

daughter exclaimed, ‘lihat! do you call my fa-

brought too much of the religion of this age 
into difrepute. For thefe caufes he was exceed- 
ingly embittered again{ft them, fo as often to: 
{trike them on the face, and grievoufly abule

frequently kicked and fmote them, and threat-

he killed them he fhould not be hanged for it. 

It was, as hath been remarked, becaufe they 
would not take rooms from him at his price, 

- but demanded a free prifon, that they were 
thruft into the common ward among felons, and 
grofsly abufed there by the jailer’s connivance, 
if not inftigation: Yet even here they could not 
obtain a free prifon; for after they had been in 
prifon about thirty weeks, he demanded arrears 

-of dues for fourteen pence a week from each of 
them, which they, who were obliged to buy 
even the ftraw they lay upon, remonftrating 
again{t as an unreafonable demand, he ordered 
the turnkey to take away their bed-clothes and 
boxes, which was done ; and he threatened to take 
their coats from off their backs.. ‘Vheir bed-clothes 
being taken away, they were obliged to lie in part 
of their body-clothes upon ftraw. for the phic of 
twenty-four weeks *. 

When a woman friend brought them Hike 
neceflaries of linen, &c. to replace what had 
been taken from them, the jailer caufed them to 
be feized. When provifions were brought them, 
they were examined before they would be fuf-

gerous deep pit. When their friends came to-

But the report of their barbarous treatment,

concerned for their relief, and to redouble their

Oliver Cromwell ; which being feconded by the 
private applications of Mary Sanders, (after-

Cromwell’s family, and one of the people called 
Quakers, whofe prudent and exemplary conduct 
had gained her a refpectful efteem in that family ;

Paha to this order Sir Francis Rufiill, who 
was a moderate man, and averle to perfecution, 
-eaufed them immediately to. be fet at full liberty, 
without any reftriction as to returning home, 
leaving them at liberty to travel whitherfoever 
the perfuafion of brinig or inclination might 
prompt them. 

George Whitehead adds that in all their hard 
perfonal fufferings they were favoured with peace 
and confolation in the inward fenfe of divine 
fupport, bearing up their fpirits and flrengthen- 
ing their faith, and preferving their bodily health; 
under the feeling whereof, in their afflictions, 
they were frequently made to fing praifes to his 
holy name, who thus’ preferved them, to the 
aftonifhment of their fellow prifoners '. 

Account of In the beginning of this year James Parnel, 
tA Par- who hath been already mentioned to have been: 
convinced in a conference with George Fox, 
during his imprifonment in the dungeon at Car- 

lifle, travelled fouthward alfo, labouring in the 
miniftry of the gofpel, and the propagation of 

thofe doétrines he reccived, as truth; for which 

fervice he was eminently qualified, although but 

a youth of about eighteen years of age. He was 

born at Retford in Nottinghambhire, and had the 
advantage of a good education, in the fchools 

of literature®. Te was convinced of the truth of 

the principles of the people called Quakers, and. 

joined them in fockery as carly as the fixteenth

and rejected by his relations. Being low of VI. 
ftature, his bodily prefence appeared contempti- 
ble, which encreafed the admiration of his ex- 1°5° 
cellent mental qualities, in thofe who could view 
him through the medium of. cool judgment, di- 
véfted'of envy and prejudice; for in the perfon 
of the apparently defpicable lad, were concealed 
the wifdom and underltanding of age and expe- 
) rience, the aflecting preacher, and able difpu- 
_ tant; being always ready to give a reafon of the 
hope that was in him, and maintained the doc- 
trines which he preached againft their oppofers. 
In qualifications for the miniftry he feemed_be- 
hind few of his fellow labourers; in fuffering 
for his teftimony he experienced even greater fe- 
verity and inhumanity, 
i . He took his journey through Huntingdon- Travels 
, fhire and the Ifle of Ely into Cambridgethire, lp 
preaching the gofpel and difputing with oppo- donthire 
fers. . At Cambridge, for publifhing a declara- bridgethine 
tion again{ft corrupt minifters and corrupt ma- into Elles.

af, prifon over two feflions, and, afterwards turned

returned, and difputed with the {cholars of the 
univerfity, from whom he.met with very: rude 
and cruel treatment. He thence profecuted his 
journey into Effex (being the. firft called a Qua- 
ker who, preached the gofpel in that county.) 
At Stebbing, Fellted, Witham, Coggefhall and 
Halfted, and other places, he preached with re- 
markable effect, many by his miniltry being con- 
vinced of the: truth. of his dodtrine. About the 
middle of fummer he came to Colchelter, and 
on the firft'day of the week preached to a large 
pumbes of people, firft at: his lodging, then He:

Stephen 
Crifp con- 
vinced by 
him, 


,Meeting appointed on purpofe. After that he 
difpated with the town-lecturer and another 
prieft in the French fchool, all in one day ; in 
which labours the wifdom and patience of the - 
true Chriftian manifeftly appearing, a confidera- 
ble convincement was the fruit of his inceffant 
labour. Among the reft, Stephen Crifp, a man 
of good parts, coming to. difcourfe or difpute 
with him at his lodging, and James appearing . 
at firft fight a mere boy, he viewed him with a 
contemptuous eye; but upon entering into dif- 
courfe with him, the awful frame of his fpirit, 
the weight and concifenefs of his expreffions 
fixed fo deep an impreflion on the mind of Ste- 
phen Crifp, that he was effectually convinced, 
and became himfelf an eminent publifher of the 
fame doctrines. James Parnel fpent the reft of 
that week there in preaching, exhorting and dif- 
puting to the convincement of many more; 
while others were provoked to fuch a degree of 
rage, as often to reward with blows his fervent 
zeal for their reformation. In particular, as he 
was coming out of Nicholas’s Steeple-houfe in 
that town, he was met by a blind zealot, who 
ftruck him a violent blow with a great ftaff, fay- 
ing, “ Take that for Chrift’s fake ;” to whom 
this innocent fufferer meekly replied, ‘* Friend, © 
¢* I do'receive it for Jefus Chrift’s fake.” From 
thence he went to Coggefhall, where the inde- 
pendent profeffors had appointed a * faft on et

to appoint public fatts, and days of humiliation, frequently

often manifefted their humiliation to be but voluntary humili-

fruit of prejudice and prepoffeffion. James Par- 
nel being prefent, efteemed it his duty to vindi- 
cate himfelf and brethren againft his opprobrious 
mifreprefentations ; but ftood ftill till the prieft 
was coming out of the pulpit, he then began 
with thefe words: This is the order of the true 
church, that all may fpeak one by one ; and if any 
thing be revealed to him that ftands by, let the fir/t 
hold his peace. Yhen proceeding in his vindica- 
tion of the Quakers (fo called) in reply to an af, 
_ fertion of the prieft, that they were on a fandy 
foundation, he fignified, J am ready to prove that 
the Quakers are not on a fandy foundation, and 
that thou art a falfe prophet and a deceiver, 
After fome words had pafled, a perfon ftanding 
by accufed Parnel, that he owned no church:

the hypocrite. The day of humiliation giving no interrup- 
tion to the purfuit of their ambitious views ; their praying, 
performed in an unforgiving fpirit, difcovered in their vin- 
diétive difpofition to all that oppofed them, or thwarted their 
meafures ; and their fafting to be feen of men: on many other 
occafions as well as this proving them proper objects of the 
fevere reprehenfion of the prophet Ifaiah, delivered in the 
name of the Almighty to the Jews, “ Behold, ye falt for 
“ {trife and debate, and to finite with the fift of wickednefs ; 
« ye fhall not falt as ye do this day, to make your voice to 
“‘ be heard on high. Is it fuch a faft as I have chofen, a 
“« day for a man to afflict his foul? Is it to bow down his 
s¢ head as a bulrufh, and fpread fackcloth and afhes under 
“him? Wilt thou call this a falt or an acceptable day to 
“ the Lord? Is not this the falt that 1 have chofen: to 
« Joofe'the bands of wickédnefs, to undo the heavy burdens, 
“© to let the opprefled go free, and that ye break every 
© yoke?’ Tfatah, Iviii. 4, 5 and 6.

HISTORY or rus 


He replied, That’s falfe: Being alked, what, | ; . 


church he owned, he anfwered, the church in . 
God. Whereupon the prieft faid, that was non. 
Jenfe: Parnel taking a bible out of his pocket 
fhewed it was a {criptural expreflion, and charged, 
the prieft with blafphemy in calling it nonfenie, . 
Upon his coming out of the Steeple-houfe he , 
was apprehended and brought before four jul: 
tices. After examination he was committed to 
Colchefter Caftle, where he was clolely confined, 
And at the time of the enfuing aflizes at Chelmf- 


ford, he was faftened to a chain with felons and . 79} 


murderers, and fo led above twenty miles through 
the country, remaining chained both day and 
night. é eo Saal 
At his trial he was brought to the bar hand; 
cuffed, but the people exclaiming againft that 
barbarity, at his next appearance his manacles 


were taken off. The accufations brought againtt 


him were,. That in a riotous manner he did enter 
into the. parifh church of Great Coggefhall, that 


he there did ftand and told'the minifter he blaf- ty 


phemed and fpoke falfely, ufing many other re- 
proachful words againft bim: And that be could 
not give a good account where he was laft fettled, — 
or of his life or converfation, appearing to be anidle - 
perfon. He was alfo acculed with contempt of the 

magiftracy and miniftry. In his defence he alledged, 


‘ That he entered the Steeple-houfe in no riotous mane 


ner; but came thither perfectly quiet and alone 


without any difturbance: That he had told the 


prieft he blafphemed in faying the church in God 
was nonfenfe he denied not; but did not own 
himfelf a vagabond or idle perfon, And he did 
not think it either criminal or indecent to call an 
unjuft judge unrighteous, @ perfecutor perfecutor,

CHAP.tion. William Dewfbury about this time tra. 
vl. yelling in Northamptonfhire, came to Welling. 
1686. borough, where as he was pafling along the 4 

Suffering of ftreet, the prieft Thomas Andrews called out to ™ 

buy. him “* Give over deceiving the people, left the 
*¢ plagues of God fall upon thee*;” to whom .% 

_ William replied, * Doft thou fay I deceive the 74 
*¢ people? make it appear wherein I deceive |¥% 
“© them”.’? Andrews anfwered, “ Thou telleft (9 
“¢ them there is no original fin ;” to which Wil- 
fam Dewibury rejoined, ‘* Didft thou hear me 
<¢ fay any fuch words?’ upon which the prieft 
went away, William being thus in public | 
charged by the prieit as a deceiver, thought him-: 
felf called upon, in vindication of his own cha- »%j 
racter, and that of the fociety, to bring the 
prieft to the proof of his charge or public ac- 
knowledgment of the truth: For that purpofe 3 
he went foon after to the Steeple-houfe, and“. 
waiting till the people were difmified, he fpake + 
to them, who gave attention to his exhortation. oe 
Then addrefling himfelf to the prieft, he faid, 
“ Thou haft accufed me of deceiving the peo. 
*¢ ple; prove thy accufation before this audi. © 
“ence, or acknowledge the falfehood of it.” ~ 
But the prieft without giving an anfwer went — 
away: And Wiiliam was haled out of the wor- © © 
fhip-houfe into the yard, where he preached to 
the people again, who {tood quietly to hear him, 
till the high conftable came, and laying hold of 
him led him to the market place, faying he 

would bring evidence againft him for blafphemy.: 
After a fhort time he was let go, and lodged at: 
a friend’s houfe that night; but next day a con- 
ftable apprehended him with. a’warrant, granted 

again,

aha John Whitehead going into the Sideple-houtt a 
Imprifon- at Wellingborough, and waiting quietly till the 4 
_ ment of public worfhip was ended, afked the prieft fome # 
Wiechaa queftions about his doé we and. practice, to § 
Aa ir which he made no anfwer, but in contempt. 
Stecr. called him madman, and went away: But the | 
people generally ftaying, were foon convinced he J} 

was not mad; for his powerful preaching and " 3% 
rational difcourfe impretled very different fenti. 7 


ments of him on thcir minds, procuring their . ¥ 


affent to ‘the foundnefg of his doctrine and his J 
underftanding. Intelligence of this being car. % 
ried to the prieft, irritated him to challenge John’ 
toa difpute; but the iffue mortified him {lil * > 
more, becaufe he miffed his aim, which was to |. 


get fome matter of complaint to the magiltrates. @ 
He next wanted John to meet him before a per." j 


fecuting juttice to fettle the difpute; but he ie 


avoided this open fnare, fignifying to the priet 


that he mu(t appoint fome other place. He then | 


fent him notice to meet him at a public lec. & 
ture, which he accordingly did; and there. be: 


ing fevera] other minifters and.many people pre:

Then he propofed a queftion to the preachers; 
which they refufed to anfwer; and Andrews, | 
the prieft, who had challenged him to difpute} 3 
inftead of entering into the difcuflion of their 
differing religious fentiments, launched out into 
perfonal invectives and accufations again{t John 
Whitehead, who was not at a lofs to vindicate 
his character by plain truth, to the conviction of 
~ many of the people. - The ‘prielts feeing them.

hands on John, and dragged him by force out of | VN 
the Steeple-houfe; a warrant was procured to 
apprehend him as a vagrant, and he was carried 
before, two juftices,,conyened for that purpofe, 
In contradiétion to the charge, he infifted he was 
no vagrant, that he could prove his habitation 
and manner of living by one of his neighbours, 
a fubftantial man, if they would admit him to 
come in. Upon this Marmaduke Storr was 
called, who informed them of the place of John’s . 
refidence, and that he had a wife and family, 
whom he maintained reputably ¢. 
_ Then they afked Marmaduke his name and Marma- 
place of abode, and what was his bufinefs in ~ A 
thofe parts? He gave them full fatisfaGtion in 
thefe points: that his refidence was in Holder- 
nefs, and his occupation that of a grazier; that 
his bufinefs there was to vifit, and be an afliftant 
to his brother Jofeph Storr, prifoner at North- 
ampton; and that from thence he propofed to 
proceed into Staffordfhire to renew the leafe of 
his farm near expiring. “The account he gave 
both of himfelf and his neighbour was fo un- 
exceptionable that the juftices were at a ftand, 
and after fome confyltation with the priefts, 
dropt the pretence of vagrancy, and determined 
to enfnare them both another way. They afked 
Marmaduke if he would confirm his de(tivaae 
upon, oath, and finding that he would not, they 
tendered them both the oath of abjuration. They 
anfwered, that they had fufficiently demonftrated 
their good affection to the commonwealth, in af-

Fudge. Which is Ellington? F. E. I am focalled. ‘Fudge. es 
What are you herefor? F. FE. I was in bonds 15 weeks for’ = 
my appearance at the general feffions, and when I appeared, no de 
accufer or evidence appeared again{t me; I was convicted of the 
breach of no law, yet thofe called Jultices committcd me to 
gaol, where I have been kept in the dungeon thefe 13 weeks, 
among thofe arraigned for felony and murder; being taken 
from my outward habitation at Wellingborough, from my out- 
ward calling, and from my wife and five {mall children: and - 
here am deprived of the benefit of the law of this nation, 
which no felon or murderer that is here is deprived of, for 
they have liberty to fpeak for themfelves, and to have a fair 
trial, @&hich is denied to us. Fudye, to the Clerk of the 

eace. Where is your evidence againft thefe men? Clerk. 
This Ellington is a receiver of thefe men, and here is a letter 
he writ toa Juftice of Peace, wherein he accufeth him of jn- 
juftice in committing Dewfbury and Storr to prifon. Fults 
Why do you trouble me with that which there is no matter of | 
fact in? I much wonder you fhould trouble a Judge of Afhize 
with fuch {mall things, and not end them in your own feffions, 
for we come hither to determine greater matters. Mr. Elling- 
ton, I have a great.love for you, being a man that Jives inthis | 
country: Will you enter into bond fur your good behaviour, , 
and to appear atthe néxt affizes? J. £. Lam of no evil beha- 
viour, neither to this day hath any thiog been proved apain{t 
me, and if it can yet be proved by any one man here, that I 
i have bee of evil behaviour, or have broken any law of this° 
i nation, I am prefent to anfwer it, and give bonds for my liber- 
‘ty. ‘Fudge. You have tranfgreffed the law, in that you come 
to the bar with your heads covered, becaufe it is a contempt of 
authority. #. £. ‘There is no law in this nation requires any 
fuch thing as putting off the hat ; if there be any, Idefire it 
may be read, that fo before the country I may be convinced by

Jaw, there is no tranfgreflion ; and there is no law in. England” 
that requires putting off the hat, therefore it is not a tranfgref: ; 
fion; for which reafon I defire I may have the benefit of an. 
Englifhman, which is not denied to any felon here among us ; , 
for I have to this day ftood always faithful to the common-, 
wealth, and have not forfeited any liberty, but have hazarded 
my life and eftate to procure freedom, which I am now deprive .

very reafonable, take him away. #. &. For a3 behaviour, 
if there be any here that can accufe me, I would have you 
countrymen to fpeak, any of you ; if not let all the poor peo- 
ple in Wellingborough, and the towns thereabout, and thofe 


years, in carding, fpinning, dying, and weaving, declare what 
my behaviour has been towards them or others: For, ull I 

was caft into prifon, I employed more poor people at work 

about wool, than any one man in this country doth ; yet not- 

withftanding what I have done and {till dos I may not have the 

benefit of the law, as all malefactors here have. ‘fudge. Take

of the county: Returning foon after to a meet- bh

Jultices committed to bridewell as a vagrant, °.p'’5 
where he was cruelly whipped, and endured much whipped. 
hardthip, being not fuffered to purchafe necefla- 
ries for his money. 

Thele arbitrary proceedings and feverities of 
the magiftrates incited Edward Burrough bye. Bur- 
letter to apply to the Protector to put a ftop*s* | 
thereto, wherein he reminded him of his vows the Pro- 
in the day of his diftrefs; and that he fuffered 
cruelty, oppreflion and tyranny to be practifed 
in his name, by,unjuft impriionments, and mer- 
cilefs perfecutions of a peaceable and religious 
body of people; that he was to be accountable 
to the great judge of all mankind for the ufe 
he made of the power he was invefted with. It 
doth not appear that his plain-dealing either drew 
any marks of refentment from the Protector, or 


any interpofition of his authority to put a ftop 


to the perfecution of his friends §. ee; 

It is aflerted that Cromwell’s principles were in Refledions 
favour of religious liberty,and that he allowed it 0» Grom- 
° é well’s con-

that liberty.. From what motive, in violation of 
his folemn profetlions, confirmed by oath on his 
entrance upon the protectorate, and probably in 
violation of the convictions of his own confcience 
he fuffered and connived at the fevere perfecu- 


_ tion of this unoffending fociety, is not eafy per- 


hapsto determine at tius day. Mofheim writes, that

remainder of his government, during which, 
time, being moved from one prifon to another, mas 
he was at length confined in Dover Caftle. ° His nace “sa 
long confinement had changed the temper of his in prifon. 
mind, from an aétive and buftling to a ferious 
and contemplative caft, and preventing him from 
converfing in the bufy fcenes of life, furnifh- 
ed him with opportunity to be more converfant 
with himfelf in religious recollection: In his 
confinement here, becoming acquainted with 
Luke Howard, an inhabitant of Dover, and one 
of the people called Quakers, before mentioned, 
and converfing with him on religious fubjects, 
Luke gave him fuch convincing reafons for his 
profeflion, ? as gained Lilburn’s affent, andj, 3. con. 
brought him over to his fentiments and pro- finement ia 
feflion, in part at leaft, as appears by the letters 27a" 
that pafled between him and his wife .at this ced. 
time, the following abftraé&s whereof will con- 
vey an idea of the prefent.temper of their minds, 
whereby it may be perceived that adverfity had 
proved a fchool of profitable inftruction to them 
both. 
_ His wife having vifited him in prifon, foon af- 
ter wrote him the following laconic admoniti- 
on: 

«¢ My dear, retain a fober, patient fpirit, which 
«‘ T am confident thou fhalt fee fhall be of more 
“¢ force to recover thee than all thy keen metal 
«‘ hath been. I hope God is doing a work on 
<¢ thee and me too, that fhall make us ftudy our- 
“© felves more than we have done.’’ i.

tion, who travelled on horfeback, lodged at the 
beft inns, and paid punctually for their enters; 
tainment. On the way between Taunton and} 
Bridgewater, the officer who had them in charge: 

was fuddenly feized with a kind of apopleétic fit,: 

which difabled him from proceeding farther, 

‘They returned toTaunton and informed a juftice: 
of peace of the cafualty. He thereupon fufpend-'

ordered: the doors to be fhut,during their ex+-peir exae

they, remained in cuftody feveral days, while the 
magiftrates, who had determined to fend them 

to the county, gaol, were deliberating how to 

form a plautible pretence for their commitment, 

At firft they charged them, with denying the 
Trinity, of which they fully cleared themfelves, 

Then they tendered them the oath of abjuration, 

but the proclamation enforcing that oath giving 

no authority to imprifon any for their refufal, 

they omitted proceeding thereupon. At length < 
they made out their mittimus, grounded on peau ee

This appears to be a direét falfehood, for two'— 
of their friends, Robert Cary and Arthur Cot- |

cognizance, for their appearance, but on fur-' | 
ther deliberation it was vacated, under pre.’ 
tence it would not be according to law, and 
they were fent to prifon next day. A certificate — 
whereof was figned by thofe two and nine © 
others. Sewel, p. 116.} ey, 
After fix weeks imprifonment in Exeter gaol, 
they were indicted at the feflions for a breach.’ 
of the ordinance againft duels, and particularly for . * 
divers difgraceful words and geftures again{t

fay, I am going to Exeter to fwear againft the . 
Quakers, and if fwearing will do it PH make 
them fuffer foundly: But the court did not chufe 
to bring the matter to a fair hearing: For 
though they pleaded, and defired a trial, their 
plea was refufed, and no trial granted. But the | 9 

oath of abjuration was tendered them in court, | 

which, it is:;weli known, they could not take, and 
only tendered as a pretext to prolong their im- 
prifonment. In fine, they were fined 51. a piece, 
and committed to Bridewell -till payment, and 
finding fureties for their good behaviour. 
Purfuant to this fentence they were removed 
from the county gaol to Bridewell, and a guard: 
of foldiers placed over them, with ftri€& orders, 
figned by one Captain Joyce, to detain all that

tinued near feven months under fuch cruel ufage, c HA P. 
as had the afpect of adefignto deftroy them: for 

their periecutors adminiltered not any thing for 

their fupport, but exerted their endeavours to pre- 

vent others from bringing them the common ne- 

ceflaries of life, and imprifoned feveral of thofe 

who came to fee and relieve them. But this 

extreme malice of their enemies rendered the . 
chriftian charity of their friends the more dif- 

tinguifhed, who frequently hazarded the lofs of 

their own lives to fupply their wants. 

In the fame year Margaret Kellam, an innocent 
woman, of a tender conititution, good educa- 
tion and confiderable property, was treated with 
great cruelty and ignominy, without any juft 
occafion adminiftred on her part, as is manifeft 
from the fequel. * On the 1gth of December fhe 
went to the houfe of Peter Ceely, mayor of Pli- 
mouth, and told him fhe had a word from the 
Lord to him: he bid her come in, heard her, 
and contefled that what /he faid was very good .. 4 vn, 

as 5 : ; ge 
and true; yet was fo difpleafed with this truth, of mM, Kei- 
that he fent her to prifon, detained her there *™ 
about a week, when at the interceflion of her 
friends fhe had liberty to return home. But 
- on the 4th of the next inonth, about four o’clock 
: in the morning, a conitable and ferjeant came 
to her chamber, broke open the door, and re- 
fufing to fhew their warrant, took her away by 
violence, tied a rope about her, bound her arms — 
behind her, threw her acrofs a horfe, and tied © : 
-her feet under its belly, and in this inhuman 
manner carried her ten miles. Then loofening the 
cords, they told her they had a warrant to carry 
her to Exeter gaol. ‘There fhe lay till the quar-

defign (if he had any) which Ceely charged him 
with, at the fame time ‘appealing to the court, 
whether Ceely had not made himfelf a party in 
the treafon by omitting it in the mittimus, defiring 
him to go out of the country, and never charg- 
ing him with pretended treafon, nor making any 
difcovery thereof till now. 

The judge clearly perceiving, that in this ac- 
cufation Ceely inftead of enfnaring G. Fox had 
en{nared himflelf, let that bufinels fall. Ceely 
then finding this intended fnare broken, got up 
again, and accufed him, that he {truck him fuch 
a blow as he never had in his life;. feeming 
thus to fpert with juflice, truth and conlcience, 
in idle endeavours to criminate innocence with 
groundlefs abfurdities ; for this blow he alledged 
himfelf to have received from G. Fox proved to 


‘be nothing more than a merited reproof, for an 


hypocritical complimenting of him, while he 
was fuffering under his malicious imprifonment. 
In fine, either from the mittimus, the indi@- 


‘ment, or Ceely’s accufations, no fufficient grounds 


of legal crimination appearing, the judge inftead 
of difcharging them whom-he could not con- 


their falfe imprifonment, ordered them to be taken 
away ;- and in their abfence fined them twenty 
marks a piece for coming into the court with 
their hats on, and ordered them to be detained 
in prifon till their fines were paid. 

Being thus fixed in prifon upon fuch a com- 
mitment, that there was little probability of their 
being fpeedily releafed, they thought it neceflary 
to difcontinue the weekly payment of feven {fhil- 
lings a piece for their diet for themfelves, and 
as much for their horfes, which the jailer had 


hitherto, in a manner, extorted from them. ‘This

tending to walk the reft of the way; but he had not walked 
to the middle of the town before he was {topped and taken 
up by the watch. He afked the watchman by what authority 
he {topped him on the highway, who produced an order 
from the conftables to tuke up all rogues, vagabends and 
fturdy beggars. ‘Thomas thereupon afking for which of thefe’ 
he took him, and informing him at the fame time of the 
fignification of thefe terms, and that none of them belonged

old woman who lived in this town hoyle (who had in her 
youth lived with fume of his anceftors) being prefent at their 
confultation, upon hearing the prifoner’s name, gave them 
fuch an account of his family as mide them fulpect their

ing interrupted, the Protector arofe, and the. |*

_ Fither, by this interruption, being deprived Geo ae, 
of the opportunity of delivering his meflage (to ee 
which undertaking apprehending himfelf un- Spe 
equal, he had defired to be excufed from it, 
with fafting, tears and fupplications) took the 
only method left him to eafe his mind of its bur- 
den, by pubhfhing in print the fubftance of 
what he intended to have fpoken ; being a zeal- 
ous reprehenfion of the hypocrily of thofe, who 
under a fhew of godlinels, made long prayers, 
and kept frequent fafts; yet at the fame time 
lived in pride, pomp and luxury, and perfecut- 
ed thofe who were in reality a pious and con- 
{cientious people. With an admonitory caution 
to the Protector, that, unle/s be tock away the 
wicked from before him, and all flattcrers and falfe 
accufers, his throne would never be eftablifbed in 
righteoufnefs. 
This parliament appears to have been of a Remark. 
complexion to which the foregoing reprehenfion 
might not be improperly applied, as they foon 
manifeited their promptitude to give a fandion 
to perfecution. It hath been evidently fhewn 
what an illegal and defpotick rigour was exer- 
cifed by the bigotted and paflionate maguiftrates , 
of this age, who difclaiming perfecution in 
theory, praCctifed it in reality, in the mifapplica- 
tion of the laws again{t vagrants, to the pu- 
nifhment of men truly religious, for their religi- 
ous perfuafion of duty, in travelling at their 
own charyes to preach the gofpel, and propagate 
righteowne's and purity of lite in the nation, 
This pariiament, as if to give a fandtion to their

Remark, 


again{t vagrants, and wandering, idle, diffolute | 
perfons, under which defcription they compre 
hended all who were gone from home, and could 
not give a fatisfactory account of their bufinefs.* 

If the Quakers (to called) found themfelves | 
before expofed to tyrannical punifhments, and 3 
caufelefs deprivation of their liberty, »ghis combi. |] 
nation. of the legiflative with the executive » J 


power rivetted their chains, as it deprived them 


of all hope of redrefs, and exempted their per- 
fecutors from all fear of controul.§ When we 
confider this aét fo perfeétly coinciding with the 
mode of proceeding before adopted by inveterate 
magiflrates, in bringing them to punifhment, 
one mutt conclude that many of thefe prejudiced 
magiltrates had been admitted into this packed 
Parliament, or had a great influence over the | 
members; or elfe that their teachers had leaven- 


ed both into one fentiment and difpofition to- | 


wards this inoffenfive body of men,'as the at 
feems plainly defigned to legalize their arbitrary 
manner of punifhing, and the title expreffed. in 
vague and indefinite terms, on purpole to admit-a 
latitude of conflru€tion, whereby it might ‘be 
extended to comprehend fuch of them as travel- 
led abroad to propagate their doctrines, which 
as their adverfaries could not confute by argument, 
they feemed determined to fupprefs by violence ; 
and by an arbitrary ftretch of power, to make 
harmlefs aétions illegal, fince the general tenour 
of their conduét adminiftered no juft caufe of cri- 
mination. For the vagrancy is applied, not only 
to idle, diffolute perfons, but all that go from 
home, who cannot give a fatisfactory account of 
their bufinefs; but what account fhould be

his hoft, and was riding out of town on his ©

his own property. , . yas. joa 
It was under this parliament that James Nay-

the’age of twenty-two he married, and continu- oy a p; 

ed his refidence near Wakefield till the civil !* 

war broke out in 1641. He then entered into “~~~ 

the army, in which he continued eight or nine 75° 

years, firft under Lord Fairfax, and afterwards 

as quarter-mafter under major general Lambert, 

till being difabled by ficknefs, he returned home 

about 1649.. As to his religious profeffion, he 

was in fociety with the Independents till the 

year 1651, when, being convinced by the minif- 

try of G. Fox, as noticed before, he joined in 

community with the Quakers. He was a man 

of excellent natural parts, and had received a 

tolerable education in his native language, and 

wrote well. And being by his canvincement 

turned to the meafure of divine grace in his 

own heart, by a diligent attention thereto he 

grew in experience of the work of fanétification, 

and received an excellent gift in the miniftry ; 

and while he kept in obedience to the dictates of 

this preferving principle, he was eminently fa- 

voured in his miniftry with diyine power, and 

a convincing influence, reaching to the confci- 

ences of his auditory, and awakening many to 

a clear fight of the internal ftate of their minds ; 

of their, mifery under the bondage of fin, and 

to ardent defires after redemption and fan¢tifica- 

tion.. By the fame divine principle he was fo 

preferved in circumfpection of life as to confirm 

his doétrine by his example, fhewing forth the 

fruits of the fpirit out of a good converlation; 

exemplary in godlinefs, humility, and every 

chriftian virtue; and inftrumental, by divine 

grace, in turning many from darknefs to light, 

and from the power of fatan to the power of 

God. During the fpace of three years, he con-

he came to London, where -he found a meeting a 
of his friends already gathered, through the ef; 
fectual miniftry of Edward Burrough and Francis 
Howgill..; Among them he preached in a mans) 
ner fo nervous and affecting, that he thereby “© 
captivated the affections of feveral of the more 
fuperticial and unexperienced part of the audi¢ 
tory, fo as to hold his perfon in admiration, and 
to prefer him much above his fellow-labourers,’ 
which was injurious to him, and tended to ins.) 
troduce ‘divifions, like thofe the: Apoftle Paul 
reproves in the church of Corinth, when. the 
carnal walkers as men were difpofed to pay ‘that. 
veneration to the refpective Apoftles, which be- —

diforderly behaviour, meeting with merited re- } 
proof from thefe judicious and difcerning men; ‘:)) 
who clearly perceived the tendency of thefe pers °

rebuke with any patience ;-but one Martha Sim4

pellations not fit to be attributed to any mortal. 
man, diametrically oppofite to the avowed prin-! 
ciples of the people called Quakers. Nor did: 
their madnefs {top here, for three of thefe filly: 
women, in this prifon, kneeled before him, and 
kifled his feet: after his releafe, riding’ into’

him bareheaded, a woman led his horfe; and

the firlt day of the week, we went to the prifon, to vifit the 
prifoners, and had a meeting with them in the prifon ; but 
Fames Naylor and fome of them could not ftay the meeting.’ 
"be next day I fpake to James Naylor again, and he flighted' 
what I faid, and was dark, and much out; yet he would 
have come and kifled me; but I faid, * fince he hed turned 
‘© againft the power of God, I could not receive his fhew of

the power of God over him. So after I had been warring. 
with the world, there was now a wicked fpirit rifen up’ 
amongtft friends to war againft. And when he came to Lon- 
don, his refifting the power of God in me, and the truth that 
was declared to him by.me, became one of his greatefl bur-,

This petition, replete with good fenfe and hu-

but the fame vindictive temper, which had dic-

242 HISTORY OF THE 


CHA P. of perfons unconneéted with the offender in req 
’_ ligious commuiiity, conveyed a plain indication 
16c6, t© his adverfaries, that their feverity was not ge- 
J. Naylor nerally well relifhed. Wherefore five of the 
ee noted publick preachers, Caryl, Nye, Manton, , 
ers, Griffith and Reynolds, by order of the parliament, |: 
* ‘(as it was faid) vifited J. Naylor in prifon to treat -) 
with him concerning thofe offences for which. 

he was detained, and bring him to a fenfe there- + 

of, as if to varnifh over the deformity of their + 
proceedings with a colour of intending: only the 
reformation of the man, by an heterogeneous mix- 

ture of ghoftly counfel with corporal punith- 

ment, and inhuman feverity with fome femblance. 

of chriftian charity ; but this amiable virtue had 

little place in their publick or private tranfactions 

with him:-for thefe men would admit no friend © 

of his nor any other perfon into the room, al- 
though requefted, upon which Naylor infifted 

that what pafled fhould be put in writing, anda ~ 

copy left with him or the jailer, to which, in 

order to draw fuch anfwers from him as they 
-wanted, they confented. The reafon of his 
making this demand, was an apprehenfion he 

had of adn infidious defign, as they would fuffer 

no impartial perfon to be prefent at the con- 
ference to teftify the truth if requifite, and the 

refult feems to manifeft his fears not groundlefs, 

for after fome difcourfe, perceiving they were 
endeavouring to wreft words from him, to per- 

vert to his crimination, in order to. furnifh fome 
‘colour of juftification to the publick, he remark- 

ed to them, ‘** They had foon forgot the work

they had written, and left him to undergo everyc H A P. 
jot and tittle of his unmerciful fentence. al 

At the expiration of his refpite, on the 27th oer 
of December, the fecond part of his fentence RS 9 
was executed upon him.*. There was one Robert o the f- 
Rich, a zealous partifan of his, who mounting Sitesi, 
the pillory with him, held him by the hand, | 
while he was branded in the forehead, and bored 
through the tongue, who being much affected 
with his fufferings, licked his wounds in order to 
allay the pain. ‘The fpectators, who were very ; 
numerous, behaved with decency and quietnefs, 
without reviling or throwing any thing at him, 
feeming generally affected with commiferation 
and regret at his unchriftian treatment. He was senttoBrif- 
afterwards fent to Briftol ™, and there whipped ‘#4 
from the middle of Thomas-ftreet, over the there. 
bridge up High-ftreet and to the middle of Broad- 
ftreet, all which he bore with aftonifhing patience, 
according to the teftimony of an eye witnefs ; 
thence he was fent the back way to Newgate, 
and from thence returned to Bridewell, London, 
purfuant to his fentence, and was there detained 
a prifoner about two years: During his confine. 
ment he was favoured with a clear fight of his 
lamentable fall, and fincere repentance on ac- 
count thereof, and after his releafe he publifhed 
his recantation, the following extracts from which 
evince that he not only repented of his tranf- 

reffion, but through the divine mercy was again 

reftored to a lively feeling fenfe of true religion, 
whereby he recovered his unity with his friends, 
and continued therein to the end of his days.

HISTORY of Tue 


fon in the night'of my temptation, when the, 
power of darknefs was above; all their caf. 
ing of their clothes in the way, their bowings © . 

and fingings, and all the reft of thofe wild » 
actions, which did any ways tend to difhonour 
the Lord, or draw the minds of any from the . 
meafure of Chrift Jefus in themfelves, to look 
at flefh, which is as grafs, or to afcribe to the © 
vifible that which belongs to Chrift Jefus ;. 
all that I condemn, by which ‘the pure name- 


of the Lord hath been any ways blafphemed , 


through me, in the time of temptation ; of the 
{pirits grieved, that truly loved the Lord Jefus, 
throughout the whole world, ‘of what fort 
foever. . This offence I confefs, which hath , 
been forrow of heart, that the enemy of man’s - 
happinefs in Chrift fhould get this advantage 
in the night of my trial, to ftir up wrath and 


offences in the creation of God; a thing the — 


fimplicity of my heart did not intend, the 
Lord knows; who-in his endlefs love hath 
given me power over it, to condemn it; and 
alfo that letter which was fent me to lxeter 
by John Stringer, when I was in prifon, with. 
thefe words: hy name fhall be no more 
James Naylor, but Jefus. This I judge to 
be written fronr the imaginations, and a fear 
{truck me when I firft faw it, and fo I put it 
in my pocket clofe, not intending any fhould 
fee it; which they finding on me, fpread it 


abroad, which the fimplicity of my heart never 


owned, So this I deny allo, that the name 
of Chrift Jefus was reccived inflead of James 
Naylor, for that name is to the feed to all 
generations, and he that hath the fon, hath 


the name, which is life and power, the falva-

** And all thole ranting wild fpirits, which 

then gathered about me in that time of dark- 

nefs; and all their wild ations and wicked , 
words again{ft the honour of God, and his 

pure. fpirit and people; 1 deny that bad fpirit, 

the power and the works thereof; and as far 
as I gave advantage, through want of judge- 
ment, for that evil fpirit in any to arile, I 

take fhame to mylelf juitly, having formerly 

had power over that {pirit, in judgment and 
difcerning, wherever it was; which darknefs 

* came over me through want of watchfulnets, — 
and obedience to the pure eye of God, and di- 
ligently minding the reproof of life, which 
-condemns the adulterous fpirit. So the ad- 
verfary got advantage, who ceafes not to feck 
to devour ; and being taken captive from the 
true light, I was walking in the night, where 
none can work, as a wandering bird fit for a 
prey. And if the Lord of all mercies had 
not refcued me, I had perifhed, for I was as 
one appointed to death and deftruction, and 
there was none could deliver me. And this 
I confefs, that God may be juflified in his 
judgment, and magnified 1 in lis mercies with- 
out end, who did not forfake his captive in 
the night, even when his fpirit was daily pro- 
voked and grieved, but hath brought me forth 
to give clory to his name for ever. And it 
is in my heart to confels to God, and before 
men, my folly and offence in that day. Yet 
were there many things formed ag ainft me in 
that day, to take away my life, and bring fean- 


dal on the truth, of which I am not guilty

cHAP. level, delights to dwell on the dark fide of cha-" 
racters, to magnify the failings of men, and | 
draw a fufpicious fhade over their virtues, or the a 
mitigating circumftances of their defeéts, and. ¥ 
this malevolent difpofition receives new force 
from the fpirit of party, which peculiarly charac- 
‘terized this age, and raged with unabated violence 
againft the Quakers. So in this poor man’s cafe, 
and that of the fociety with which he had been 
connected, his failings were not only greatly 
exaggerated, but crimes imputed to him of which 
he appears entirely innocent; his enormities are 
overlooked by few who have given an account 
of him, his * repentance by moft: ‘That he was 
a Quaker (fo called) is carefully preferved from » 
oblivion ; that his extravagant conduct was dif; 
approved by the Quakers maftly pafled over 
unnoticed. ‘The fall of Gne man in the hour of © 
temptation, or the infirmity of another, recorded 
as a picture of Quakerifm, without any regard “J 
to the far greater number of thofe people, wha. % 
evidenced the virtue and efficacy of the diving 4 
principle of light and grace they bore teltimony >} 
to, by an undeviating oblervance of every chrif: 4 
tian. and moral virtue in their lives; and the 
folidity of their religion, and the purity of their 
confciences, by the divine fupport they felt, bear- 
ing up their fpirits at the approach of the awful 
hour of death. .

died with no fruits, nor as much as figns of repentance: How, 
the author came by fuch information we cannot tell; but that 
it is a manifeft miftake we doubt not but the impartial reader 
is by this time convinced.

«« Even during the life of their founder (fays he) the Quikers, , 


. notwithitanding their extraordinary pretenfions to fraternal 
“« charity and union, were frequently divided into parties, 
*¢ and involved in contéits and debates. . Thefe debates, in- 
** deed, which were carricd on in 1656, 1661, ant 1683, 
«¢ with peculiar warmth, were terminated in a fhort time, and 
s¢ without much difficulty.” The dividing into parties, he 
mentions, in 1656, was no more than what is here reprefent- 
ed, which how far it falls fhort of his exaggerated defeription 
is referred to the judgment of the difpathonate reader. Te 
pave no interruption, that [ can difcover, to the general fub- 
fiftence of that fraternal charity and union at this time re- 
markable among{t the members of this fociety, not in pre- 
tenfion but in reality, being demonftrated by facts, which are 
more indifpatable evidence than. uncandid infinuations or 
affertions What elfe but true brotherly affection, the effence 
of charity, could induce them to come from the remote!t parts

moft certain way to falvation, to feparate him--

aflociate with feveral others, who from a fimila-

into Briftol, Oétuber 24th, 1656?” 
Robert Barclay anfwers, ‘¢ I think it was both wicked and 
‘ abominable, and fo do the people called Quakers, who 
‘‘ thereupon difowned him, and all thofe that had an hand 
“in it, as by the feveral letters found written to him and 
‘ other papers, if need were, I could at\lyrge prove ; bur it 
‘ fufficeth to inform the reader of this, that he was denied

Robert Barclay’s works, page 876. 
James Naylor himfelf gives the following account: After I 
was put into the hole at bridewcll, I heard of many wild 
actions done by a fort of people who pretended that they owned 
me; and thefe were earneftly {tirred up at that day with much 
violence and many unfeemly actions, to go into the meetings 
of the people of the Lord, called Quakers, on purpofe to 
hinder their peaceable meetings, and yet would take that holy 
and pure name of God and Chrift frequently in their mouths, 
whereby the name of the Lord was much dilhonoured and his 
pure f{pirit grieved, and much diforder they caufed in many 
places of the nation, to the difhonour of Chrift Jefus, for 
which I feel wrath from God ; which when [I underftood that 
they had any ftrength through me, I ufed all means I could to 
declare again{t that evil {pirit, which under the name of God

he foon after waited upon him in perfon, to 
procure a conference with him upon the fubjeét,

Thefe honeft remonftrances met the like re-

ceived without apparent refentment, and perfe-) 
cutions carried on without redrefs. Cromwell’s' 
attention about this period was engroffed by a’ 
fabjeé much nearer his heart than redrefling the 
grievances of this fociety. The fupple parlia- 
ment: now fitting, entirely devoted to his humour 
and to his intereft, had complimented him with’ 
the offer of the crown and the title of king ;: 
and although it is thought to have been in con- 
fequence of his own management, and his ambi- 
tion prompted him to accept the offer, yet find- 
ing his neareft friends and moft powerful par- 
tifans, together with the body of the army, 
averfe to the meafure, deterred by the profpect 
of the danger attending this advancement, after 
fome perplexity and hefitation, he finally deter- 
mined to reject the proffered crown. 

The parliament upon this confirmed to him 
his dignity of protector, with an addition of 
more power, in fome inftances, than had been 
annexed to it by the council of officers, by a

** The doétrine of toleration, in thefe en-' 
** lightened ages, adopted by the liberal of al-: 
** moft all perfuafions, owed its origin to the 
independents, whofe declared averfion to per-) 
fecution and church tyranny was too oppo- 
** fite to the bigotry and views of the prefby-, 


‘* terians not to be produ¢tive of high conteft 
“* and animofity. Whilft the prefbyterians ex-: 


** claimed that toleration was but an indulgence 
“¢ for foul-murder, &c., the independents, from 
<* the authority of the gofpel and the dittates of 
** reafon, argued that every man had a right to 
“* direct his religious confcience, and interpret 
“¢ the fcriptures according to his own lights and 
‘* apprehenfions ; that the doctrine of intole-

we underftand it as a mere fpeculative truth, for 
that they always adopted it in practice, matters 
of faét will not fupport the affertion. And if 
their former principles are jultly defcribed by

little marks of a tolerating fpirit ; the fecond is 
exprefled in terms of remarkable ambiguity, ee 
yet from this and the next we may gather thus af 
much, that if formerly they difdained all creeds 
and fyftems, they had now altered their fenti- 
ments; fince they propofe the formation of a 
fyftem for the profeflion of the nation, exclufive 
of all others, and a *-confeffion of faith fo fa- 
credly inviolable, that both the freedom of fpeech 
and the liberty of the prefs were to be violated 
in its favour. 

I would not be underftood by thefe occafional 
remarks to tax the whole body of the indepen- 
dents with this inconfiftency of condué; but thofe 
only, who in contradiction to their former pro- 
feflions, when invefted with power, perverted 
it to the perfecution of fuch as diffented from 
them, and thofe who fomented the perfecution.

_ * Soon after this a confeflion of faith, drawn up by fe- 
, weral of the teachers at the Savoy, was publifhed; and 
George Fox having previoufly procured a copy of it, not- 
with{tanding the parliamentary prohibition, he animadverted: 
upon it with freedom, and publifhed his remarks about the 
fame time, the Church Faith, as they termed it, was publifhed, 
‘which incenfed fome of the members to that degree, that one 
of them threatened him, “ That they mult have him to 
«© Smithfield.” ‘Tio which menace he replied, he was over 
‘their fires and feared them not, withing him to confider 
‘whether all people had been without a faith this one thoufand 
fix hundred years, that the priefts muft now make them one ; 
that as Chrift Jefus was the author of the apoftles faith, 
of that of the primitive church and of the martyrs, fhould 
not all people look unto him to be the author and finifher of 
their faith, and not unto the pricits ?

were inftigated by vindictive teachers of this de- 
noniination, ee the people called 5 Quer 
kers. 

After all, we ‘need not perhaps admire that 
the meafures of this parliament were not favour. © 
able to liberty : Men who had given themfelves 
up to act by the nod or dire¢tion of another, 
having refigned their own liberty, were not , 
likely to have a tender regard for the liberties 
of. other men. A 

In the next feffion of this parliament, in pur 
fuance of an article in the aforementioned in- 
ftrument of government, the members who had » 


-been excluded by Oliver’s council were admit- 
18 diffolved. 


ted to take their feats in the houfe, which feems 


to have produced a majority lefs favourable to | 


his views, and lefs pliant to his will than that of 
the former feflions; and their proceedings dif- 


pleafing him, he foon put a {top thereto by dil- | 


folving them™. 

When we view this parliament, fo ‘much de- 
voted to the Proteétor, and aéting. principally 
under his immediate influence, enacting laws fo 
unfavourable to liberty, we can hardly exculpate 
him from encouraging, at leaft by connivance, 
thefe perfecuting acts and fevere proceedings, 
even while he declared himfelf againft perfe-. 


-cution, and difavowed the guilt of thofe carried 


on againit the Quakers.

ignorance of, but pretended not to believe, two Hal. 
of then, ‘Thomas Aldam, and Anthony Pear- 
fon, to put the matter out of difpute, undertook 
the laborious tafk of vifiting all or moft of the 
jails in. England, to prove by authentic .docu- 
ments the truth of their reprefentations ; .which 
having done, by procuring copies of their friends 
commitments under the hands of the retpective 
jailers, they aid the fame before Oliver Crom- 
well; but:now, all fubterfuge being taken away, 
he declined to comply. with their requeft in be- 
half of the fufferers, which; was to give order 
for their releafe.. It was upon this occafion that

~ , to the following purport; “ We are willing to 
1658, ** be made manifeft to all men, and that our 
‘* principles may be brought to the teft of true ©” 
“¢ judgment ; when, if any objections againft: © 
_* us cannot be aniwered to the fatisfa€tion of -

This propofal was fair and reafonable, but we 
have no account that it was acceded to by Oliver 
or his teachers:' The latter found it eafier to 
rail than to reafon; .and their hatred of this: 
people impelled them to endeavour the fup- 
prefling of them by rigour, rather than con- 
vincing them by argument. Perfecution conti- 
nued unabated till Oliver Cromwell’s death, 
wi.ich. happened on: the 3d of September this

* him in mind that the power of the .magiftrate, 
by divine ordination, was for a terror and re- 
{iraint to evil-doers, and the protection and. 
praife of all that do well. But that at that 
' time, in this nation, it was diverted from its ori. © 
ginal purpole to the oppreffion of the poor,,by 
tujuftice, faubverting the good laws of God and ©

Cromwell’s death and the reftoration of Charles 
the fecond, through the ambitious {truggles, and 
the alternate fuccels or failure of the contend-

meeting in the borough of Lifkeard, where a multitude of 
rude people came in, hallooing, finging, railing, throwing 
dirt, ftones, mire, and filthy excrements on the clothes, 
heads and faces of thofe that were met, beating fome with 
clubs, others with their fifts, and breaking a pitcher about the ,

It was cuftomary with the fcholars at Cambridge, when any Cambridge, 
of this people paffed the {treets to or from their meetings, to 1658 
throw dirt and {tones at them, to tear their clothes and {pit in and 
their faces. In their publick meetings the fcholars infulted 1659 
them by breaking the windows, throwing great ftones and 
fhooting bullets in, to the hazard of their lives. When Wil- 
liam Allen, who was frequently concerned to preach in thofe 
meetings, was declaring, they would run through the meeting- 
houfe like wild horfes, throwing down all before them, hal- 
looing, ftamping and making a noife, as if feveral drums had 
been beating, to prevent his being heard: while he was fpeak- 
ing, they threw ftones at him, broke his head in feveral 
places, cut his face and bruifed his body; he neverthelefs 
perfilted in his known duty undifmayed. In like manner did 
they abufe others of the affembly, pulling off the women’s 
headclothes, and daubing their faces with filth and excrements. 

Some of the barbarities were acted in the fight of the fenior 

fellows and proétor of the college, who fhewed no diflike 

thereat; and when Alderman Nicholfon, a fober and moderate 

man, grieved at fuch inhumanity, complained to the proctor, 

defiring him to ufe his authority to keep the fcholars quiet, 

he churlifhly anfwered that he could not, nor would not.

On the 7th of November, this year, William Dewhberry, Notting- 
preaching at a meeting at Newark upon Trent, was infulted ee 
and much abufed by the people; however, the meeting was 1°59: 
held, though through much difturbance, and at the clofe of 
it another meeting was appointed at the fame place on the 
rith of fame month, being the firlt day of the week, at 
which while the teftimony of truth was declaring, a rude 
multitude broke in, thrufting down both men and women, 
buffeting, punching and ftoning them, fo that fome were 
knocked down, others had their teeth beaten out and their 
faces bruifed; women had their head-clothes in

* Such was the fuperftition of thofe times, that many of Bucking. 
the people called Quakers, going to religious meetings a few hamfhire, 


miles diftant from their own dwellings, were taken up by 
officers under pretence of breaking the Sabbath, had their 
horfes impounded, and fometimes detained for a penalty of 
ten fhillings for travelling on that day; and at other times 
themfelves, for refufing to pay that penalty, were fet in the 
ftocks. Beffe, v. i. 75. 

The religious zeal of this people in frequenting their aflem- 
blies for worthip, obliged them to travel to the places where 
they were held, which being fometimes at a confiderable 
diftance, their going to or coming from them on the firft day 
of the week was called a breach of the Sabbath, and punifhed 
by fines, diftrefs of goods or imprifonment. For this caufe, 
Samuel Skillingham and Zachary Child, going to a meeting 
at Weathersfield, were {topped by wardens in the ftreet, and 
forely beaten and abufed by a juttice’s clerk : and for the fame 
caufe Elizabeth Court was fent to the houfe of correction, 
where fhe was whipped and fuffered much cruel ufage, being 
kept without candle or fire in the cold winter when fhe was 
fick of an ague. John Child, for riding to a niveting, had 
his horfe taken away and kept from him three weeks, and 
then returned home without bridle, faddle, pillion or cloth, 
all which they detained for a pretended forfeiture. Edmund 
Crofs, John Pike, Richard Waite and William Halley, were

In this year the nation was in great commo-

withftanding the authority he poffefled, notwith- 
ftanding his reputed political abilities, his pene-

to have felt himfelf greatly embarraffed and per-

the different contending parties into which the

his fucceflor not inheriting his father’s capacity,

upon the watch for fome event or revolution

ple, as to bear down every fentiment of compai- _ X!- 
fion, Amoneft the different clafles into whofe rao 
9- 


hands the government fell, none could be pre- 
vailed apon to yield them effectual relief. 

-The principal officers in the army, who had 
been the chief inftruments of promoting Richard’s 
fucceffion to the Proteétorate, had exerted their 
influence, principally from felf-interefted views, 
in expectation, under the umbrage of his nomi- 
nal power, to hold the reins of government in 
their own hands. But Richard, diffatisfied with 
this fhadow of power, took meafures for poflefling 
himfelf of the real authority, by an attempt to 
enlarge the number of the Privy Council, fo as 
to introduce a majority of his own creatures, 
and to bring the army to a dependance on him- 
felf. Thefe meafures roufed the jealoufy of the 
officers, and the parliament now fitting having _ 
alfo difcovered a purpofe to weaken their influ- 

‘ence, they combined together to force Richard 
to diflolve this parliament, and fhortly after re- 
ftored the fupreme authority to the remnant of 
the long parliament, now reduced to about forty 
in number. . 

We have had fundry occafions to remark the 
brotherly affeCtion and fympathy abounding 
amongift this people, manifefted by a mutual 
concern for each other’s welfare; and that while 

‘they feemed each regardlefs of his own liberty, 
they were {trenuous advocates for that of their 
brethren, zealoufly and almoft inceffantly in their. 
feveral turns, reprefenting to thole fucceflively 
in authority the fuffering cafes of their friends, 
either by word of mouth, in writing or in print. | 
So upon this change of government, frefh appli- 
‘cation was made to this parliament for relief in

CHAP.a very extraordinary propofal:; A printed paper 
XI. was prefented to them, fubfcribed by one hun. . 
P dred and fixty-four of this people, wherein (re- 
*°59* ferring to the account of their fufferings before 
prefented to the parliament) they offer themfelves _ 
freely perfon for perfon to lie in prifon inftead 
_ of fuch of their brethren as were under confine, © 
ment, and might be in danger of lofing their — 
lives from the length and extremity of their im, | 
prifonment as feveral of their brethren had done, «© § 
whereby they demonftrated the perfection of ° 
chriftian charity amongft themfelves, and left 
their oppreffors without excufe, although their . ; 
offer was rejected with fome marks of refentr

Commotions 


* TI find in Macaulay’s Hilt. Ann. 1659, the following 
note: ‘ Even fo early as the commencement of the laft parlia- 
« ment, when the bill for recognizing Richard was in debate, ; 
«* a petition in favour of a republic was prefented to the houfé ¥ 
“ by a formidable body of citizens ; and after the army had 
« declared themfelves, was feconded by another from the | 
‘6 feftaries called Quakers, ‘This laft petition was highly ree * 
“* fented, and the following angry anfwer returned; Thaythe 9 
«‘ houfe had read the paper, and did diflike the fcandals ‘ ~j 
‘* thereby caft upon magiltracy and miniftry ; and did theres BP 
“ fore order that the petitioners fhould forthwith’ refort to | (9 
‘¢ their refpective habitations, and there apply themfelves to 
“ their callings, and fubmit to the laws of the nation and the 
*¢ magiftracy.”— What I have to remark on this note is, that 
I apprehend a miftake as to the purport of the petition pre- 
fented by the people called Quakers, fo far as it conveys an 
idea of their petitioning for a republic or reftoration of the 
long parliament. It was an eftablifhed principle with them to 
demean themfelves quietly and peaceably under that govern- 
ment which providence might permit to exercife the rule over 
them in their temporal concerns, referving to the divine Being 
what properly belonged to him, and in their eftimation to hin 
alone, the dominion over their confciences. But (as far as I

fteady to thofe principles they believed true, the

* and met with nothing but i ee indignities and contempt, 

they had no political reafon for wifhing well to any one of the 
prefent contending powers above the other, as all were their 
adverfaries. And it was with them a principle of religion to 
have no intermeddling with fecular factions ; tor notwith{tand-

viewed and reprefented, they were undoubtedly actuated by 
as clear notions of the effence of chriftianity and the fpi-

authority at leaft, being thereby convinced that the kingdom — 


of Chrift was not of this world, and that of confequence the 
ftrugglers for worldly power were not eftablithers of the king- 
dom of Chrift, which was their pyincipal aim. Ignorant as 
they are generally reprefented, they had the good fenfe to 
difcern the felfith views and partial politics of all thefe par-

CHAP. thefe -propofals; and take up arms under Lam. 
XI. bert, George Fox found it his duty, by an epiftle 

to caution them againft it, and his concern for 

their prefervation had the defired effet. . 
Edward Burrough, indefatigable in his endea- 

, vours to procure fome relief for his brethren un- 
der fuffering, wrote very copioufly and plainly to 
the fucceiflive governors of the nation; and in 
fundry letters was concerned to tell them (parti- 
cularly in one to the parliament now fitting) that . 
if they defifted not from perfecuting the inno- 
cent their power would be cut fhort, which the 
event proved to be a true prediction. a: 

During this time of anarchy, the meetings of ‘i 
this people being frequently difturbed by the 
populace, as before remarked ; and when General 
Monk marched up to London, fome of the fol- 


diers under his command having been guilty of 
fuch

ties, under the difguife of plaufible profeflions, and that all 
were guilty of palpable errors : 


Seditione, dolis, fcelere atque libidine &9 Ird 


Lhacos intra muros peccatur ; & extra, 


In faétious deeds, deceit or luft or rage, * 
Republicans and royalilts engage. 


Under thefe circumftances, I meet with no addreffes of theirs 
to the ruling powers of this era; but either plain and honett 
teftimonies of individuals againtt their unrighteous application 
of the power in their hand, or remonftrances in a collective 
capacity of their grievous fufferings, and applications for 
relief: Of the latter fort is the above, which I pre- 
fume is the .petition mentioned in the note, which as it 
contained a full account of their grievous fufferings under 
arbitrary magiltrates, infligated by their vindictive teachers to 
treat them with illicit feverity, fuch reprefentation of real 
fact being difpleafing to the parliament, as it was difgraceful 
to their government, was by them termed (though indifputable 
truth) a {candal caft upon the magiftracy and miniftry,

: Other denominations, to evade fuffering, gave ah

their teftimony in this cafe for primitive purity, 
and again{t Romith corruptions and ufurpations; 
from a confcientious motive, and therefore ra-

violate their confciences by actively upholding a

following prieithood have idly laid claim, by 
“uninterrupted fucceflion to power they never 
thought of, and emoluments they neither pof-

“ freely give,’ was the firft and plaineft ordi- | 1% 
nation fermon, which this people think amounts 
to a prohibition not only of tithes, but of ftated 
and jnvoluntary contributions for the fupport 
of gofpel minilters ; and therefore it is an elta- 
blifhed principle with them, not to pay tithe or 
any other fixed ftipends either to their own mi- 
nifters or thofe appointed by the ftate. 

Being now advanced to a remarkable period, 
wherein a thorough revolution in the govern-

re-eftablifhment of monarchy and epifcopacy, in

In 1654, Thomas Holmes travelled into Wales, CHAP. 
being reputed to be the firft minifter among the’ X17. 
people called Quakers that preached in that is 
principality ; of his fervice I do not meet with +,°* 
very particular accounts, yet there is reafon to Holmes 
believe it -was effectual to the convincement tat eo 
feveral, as in the year 1656 I find that from 
feven perfons of this fociety in Glamorganfhire, 
for 81. ros. 6d. demanded for tithes, their goods 
were taken by diftrefs to the amount of 281. 8s. 

And from nine in Radnorfhire for 41. 3s. 4d. de- 
manded, to the amount of 23]. 6s. 8d. was taken. : 
In the forepart of 1657, George Fox firlt vi- 6. Forvi- , 
fited fome parts of Wales: From Briftol coming “* an. 
to Cardiff, a juftice of peace fent him a meflage, *?/ 

defiring, “he with half a dozen of his friends 
would come to his houfe;”’ accordingly he went, 

_ accompanied by a few of his friends, and met 
with a courteous reception from the jultice and . 
his wife. * ‘the next day he had a meeting there, 
which notwithftanding fome attempts of difturb- . 
ance, was held to good fatisfaction, and many ° 
- were convinced of the truth of the doétrines he 
publifhed that day. 

At Swanzey alfo his labour was bleffed with re- weet 
‘markable fuccefs, and a fettled meeting of this fo- 
ciety eftablifhed there. At Brecknock he met At Breck. 
,with rude treatment, and apprehenfion of danger oo ahi 
from the populace, raifed and flimulated to riot: 
and tumult by the magiftrates. . Next morning 
he wrote a paper to the town, to point out their 
unchriftian-like behaviour, and how contrary it 
was to true religion and virtue. 

From hence he went to a great meeting in a 
fteeple-houfe ron to which many people came, .

fome of them to fpeak forth his praife, and from

for the edification of others in the faith. The rirt 
firft natives of this country, who diftinguifhed Papas ,

Chartres was the paftor or teacher.. Their de-‘” 
parture from the church was regretted by the

the Lord. But Chartres perfifted in his refolu- 

tion, which yet he was prevented from putting 
into execution, in a remarkable manner, whe- 
ther providentially, or accidentally, we leave to 
our readers judgment, and fhall only relate the 
matter of fact, being as follows, viz. About 
two days before the time he had fixed for pro- 
nouncing the fentence of excommunication a- 


gain{t the faid perfons, as he was walking in the ~ it 
fteeple-houfe yard, where his horfe was grazing, 1 § | 


he ftept to him to ftroke him, when the horfe 
gave him fuch a violent kick on the fide as 
proved mortal, and occafioned his death about 
the fame time in which he had purpofed to pafs 


the faid fentence. By this means his defign was 


frultrated, and the curfe caufele/s did not come 
Prov. xxvi. 2. 

Some of the firft of this people from England, 
who travelled into Scotland, were Chriftopher 
Fell, George Wilfon, John Grave, Sarah Che- 
vers, and Katharine Evans; alfo Miles Halhead 
and James Lancafter, who in the year 1654, 
being at Dumfries, and Miles, after the prieft 
had ended his cuftomary performance in the ' 
fteeple-houfe there, teftifying again{t the deceit 
and hypocrily of the people, they were fo en- . 
raged, that they forced him and his companion 
out of the town to the fide of a great river, 
intending there to have ftoned them, but they 
by wading through the river, efcaped their hands. 
After which they were at Edinburgh and Leith 
about ten days, where Miles delivered to the 
officers and captains of the army and garrifons 
his meflage, which was, that the anger of the 
Lord was kindled againft them, becaufe they had 
not performed their promifes, which they made: to. 
him in the day of their diftrefs, when the enemies

‘he had eaten what he took, he was taken away

clear. The reft of the corn lay till it was fpoiled,

vinced of the truth of the principles of this peo-c H A P. 

ple, and adhering to them, was inftrumental to , *!! 

the convincement of fome others, before any of 

their minifters came over from England ; and as 

he fixed his refidence in that kingdom, and. be- 

came a very reputable member and minifter in 

this fociety there, it feems proper to open this 

part of the hiftory with an account of him. 3 
He was born at little Mufgrove in Welt. Account of 

moreland, in the year 1627, and in his early mundgea. 

minority was often ferioufly affected with con- 

fideration about a future ftate; and as his. age 

and faculties advanced towards maturity, his de- 

fires after everlafting felicity encreafed in pro- 

portion. * About the year 1650 he entered into 

the parliament’s army, but continued in it only 

for a fhort feafon, for during the campaign in 

Scotland under Oliver Cromwell, the fubject 

which had before clofely exercifed the attention 

of his thoughts (i. e. the falvation of his foul) 

fixing more deeply in his mind, he foon grew 

weary of the military life, and laid down his 

arms, in order to be more at liberty to engage 

in the {piritual warfare. In the year 1651 he 

returned from Scatland into England, and was 

quartered in Derbyfhire ; which being about 

the time of George Fox’s releafe from Derby 

jail, he, and the people who had there lately 

received the denomination of Quakers, were 

become a general topick of converfation, and 

variety of reports were propagated concerning 

them, fome in their favour, and many to their 

difadvantage: Upon the comparifon, William, 

before he knew them, found his heart inclined. 

to the favourable fide. .

difpofing of his goods, he went over to Eng-cH ap, 
land to lay in a frefh ftock, and in his travels XIII. 
through the North he heard that George Fox —W™ 
and James Naylor were then in thofe parts, 1°53: 
which raifed his defire to fee and hear one or 
other of them. Going to a meeting where Going to 
James Naylor was, he heard him explain the pk 
nature of the kingdom of God, and the work mars James 
of regeneration ; and though his words were ane 
not many, they were powerful, reaching. the 
divine witnefs in his confcience. * The fubject 
was fo clearly opened, and concurred with fo 
many fcriptures brought to William Edmund- 
fon’s remembrance, that he was thereby fully 
convinced, and thought all who heard his dif- 
courfe muft needs confefs it was the real truth. 
The impreflion on his fpirit was deep and laft- 
ing, and under the humbling and exercifing 
effect thereof he returned home, having accom- 
plifhed his bufinefs in England. Upon his ar- 
rival his brother received him with the cufto- 
mary falutation, but under his prefent exercife 
he could not return it in like manner; for being 
convinced of the neceffity of being born again, 
in order to inherit the kingdom of heaven, he 
was affected with earneft defire after this happy 
condition, and impreft with inward anxiety, and 
that godly forrow which works repentance, with 
a mixture of confolation, in feeling the divine 
mercy awakening his underftanding, and 
’ ftrengthening his refolution to endeavour after 
this arduous attainment. Under this humbling 
eonfli& of fpirit he fat down, his wife and bro- - 
ther fitting by in filent aftonifhment at his vi- 
fible change.

HISTORY OF THE 


cHAP. ‘His fincerity was foon brought to the telt: 
_xtu. When he came to the entry of his goods, he 
“<v— was, according to cuftom, required to enter 


1653. 
Refuses to 
{wear, 


them upon oath, but he being perfuaded of the 
unlawfulnefs thereof, fignified he could not 
fwear, becaufe Chrift had forbidden it. — This 
doctrine appeared ftrange to the officers, and 
no wonder, as it was the firft time, in all pro- ~ 
bability, they had ever heard fuch a fcruple ad- 
vanced; and his deportment and plain addrefs, 
{ftanding covered before them, and addrefling 
them after the ufual way of this people, with 
the fingular, thou and thee, was as offenfive to 
them, as his refufal to fwear appeared ftrange. 
‘He was not infenfible of the contempt and aver- 
fion, he fhould expofe himfelf to by a fcrupu- 


Tous adherence to the imputed fingularities of 


his profeflion; and found it a, {trait path to 
tread, and was therefore engaged in mental 
prayer to the Lord, who (he writes) was pleafed 
to adminifter ftrength and ability, to ftand in 


the crofs, and defpife the fhame, whereby he 
‘was preféryed fled/ait. in his teftimony to the 


truth, brought through the. prefent trial with- 
out injuring his confcience, received his goods, 


Remark, 


and went home. 
_. It feems not improper here to rernark, that 


‘thefe peculiar fcruples before-mentioned in the 
demeanour of this people, contrary to the efta- 
‘blifhed cuftoms of the nations at this day, have 
_been (I think) ignorantly imagined to originate 
‘merely from an unmeaning ailectation of fin- 


ularity ; but whofoever hath been converfant 
in the memorials thefé worthy -men have left 


behind

cH A P.open teftimony for truth and fincerity, at the 


XI. rifk of eafe, reputation, and the regard of 
——~—_’ man. 4 
1653- In this refpect the fituation of William Ed. 


mundfon muft be peculiarly trying, circum; 


_ftanced as he was, all alone, and without a An F 
fecond in fimilarity of fentiment or deportment, — 


the wonder, the fcorn, and gazing-ftock to the 
world around him ; where the name of Quaker 
had but lately been heard of, and where it was 
prefented to the imagination under all the veil 
of obloquy, which a precife and cenforious 
uge, or interefted and exafperated ecclefiafticks 
thought ptopet to clothe it with. Befides thefe 
external probations he was at this time agitated 
with internal conflicts in his fpiritual warfare, 
under the work of fanétification, aed conviction 
in the fenfe of his being (although religioufly 
inclined from his youth) yet fhort of that per- 
fe&tion of purity which by the divine: light was 
difcovered to his mind, as the requifite duty of ° 
every Chriftian to afpire after, and through the 
afliftance of grace follow to the attainment 


thereof*; in which religious exercife he pafled 


through a fight of afflictions, wherein he could 
find none to fpeak a word of comfort, or that had 
trodden in this ftrait path, his only confolation 
being the continued inward fenfation of divine 
mercy, thus vifiting, {trengthening and _ani- 
mating his foul to the fteady purfuit of its 
everlafting well-being. Many prafeffors of reli- 
gion came to carp at, difpute with him, and 
{peak evil of the way he had embraced. Mifer- 


able comforters thefe, adding trouble to his 
forrow.

{now, they were greatly pinched with the cold, . *" 
efpecially the women. The next morning he fet | ¢¢¢ 
‘them all at liberty except William Edmundfon, Win. de 
‘whom he fet in the ftocks in the market-place, mucin 
where, the people gathering about him, furnifhed Hoshi 
him with an opportunity to preach to them, who P«l™bet., 
heard him with attention and fobriety,. and 
ong much upon the proyoft for abufing 

im. Ls 

The people in general appearing diffatisfied 
with the provoft’s treatment of William Edmund- 
fon, he fent his officer to let him out ; but as he 
had been thus made a public fpectacle without 
the violation of any law, he would not fubmit to | 
a releafe from a petty officer, till the provoft 
who put him in came in perfon to take him 
out. 

About this time Oliver Cromwell had pub- 
lifhed a declaration, ‘* That fuch fhould be pro- 
* teéted in their religion as owned God the 
** Creator of all things, and Chrift Jefus the Sa- 
*¢ viour of men, and the {criptures, &c.’? Where- 
fore when William Edmund{on was fet at liberty, 
the governor of the garrifon, officers and princi- 
‘pal inhabitants, had him brought before them 
to try him by the declaration, whether he and 
his friends were under Oliver’s protection or 
not. The declaration being read, and William 
being called upon to anfwer to the particulars, 
gave them fuch fatisfa€tion, that the governor 
and company gave judgment, they were under 
protection, and their religion was to be pro- 
teted. The provoft being prefent, was covered 
with fhame and confufion at this oblique condem- 
nation of his condutt.

After fome years refidence here, Robinfonc ua P. 


apprehending their church would naturally be 
brought to a. diflolution, and their religion be 
loft in a ftrange land, and having litue profpe¢t 
of obtaining * an eftablifhment or even a tole- 
ration for them in England, encouraged his fol- 
lowers to tranfport themfelves-and their families 
into fome part of the Britifh dominions in Ame- 
rica, where they might live by themfelves, and 
have a profpect of encreafing their number by 
the future refort of their friends and countrymen 
_of like principles, as to an afylum from the 
fuflerings and perfecutions, which their diffent 
from the national worfhip’ ftill rendered them 
obnoxious to. 

Being thus brought to a refolution to emigrate, 
they fent over agents to treat with the Virginia 
company in England for a large tract of land in 
the northern part of that country, reprcfenting 
themfelves as confiderable for their numbers, 
inured to hardfhips, induftrious and frugal ; and 
embarking on a religious motive, they hoped for 
the bleffing of the Almighty, and refolution to 
furmount all difficulties. ‘Vhefe reprefentations 
induced the company to comply with their pro- 
pofal; and they agreed among themfelves to 
divide, that one party fhould go before, to pre- 
pare for the reception of the reft. Robinfon, 


their paftor, ftaid with the refidue at Leyden, .

* Thefe are Neale’s exprefions, and carry an appearance 
as if thefe emigrants had more extentive yiews in their emi- 
gration than merely withdrawing from the reach of epifcopal 
power ; and their fubfequent conduct fegms to afford ground 
for the fuppofition, that even then they were not €xempt from 
thoughts of eftablifhing amongit themfelves an independent 
dominion in church and ftate,

When the time of their feparation was come, 


they appointed a day of fafting and prayer,’ to 


implore a blefling on their hazardous undertak- 
ing ; upon which occafion their paftor preached 


‘to them from Ezra, vill. 21. concluding his dif. - § 


courfe with the following exhortation, which if 
the chiefs of his flock and their fuccetfors had, 


in the adminiltration of their government in their —. 


new colony, paid a proper attention to, they had 
refcued themfelves from much guilt and centure ; 
but as their paftor did not live to join them, it 
feems as if the good man and his admonitions 
were too foon forgoiten; although, from the 
chriftian temper that animates them, well worthy

far more numerous and more confiderable, The 


‘King having committed the diredtion of eccleh 


aftical affairs into the hands of the bifhops, and 
more particularly to William Laud, then bifhop 
of London, and afterwards archbifhop of Can, 
terbury ; his intemperate bigotry to ufelefs and - 


* unmeaning ceremonies; his averfion to the Pu- 
ritans, to whom his innovations in worfhip were 


: Refled ions 


an abomination ; and his determined refolution 
to force them into an uniformity after his fuper- 
ftitious fcheme, impelled him to profecute them 
with rigorous feverity in the high commiffion 
court and Star Chamber, two very arbitrary and 
illegal courts, that feem to have been eftablithed 
for the purpofe of fubduing the people to an 
abfolute fubje€tion to the crown in temporals, 
and the mitre in fpirituals. 

To evade the perfecution of this furious pre- 
late and his affociates, many of the Puritan teachers 
with their hearers refolved to withdraw to New 
England for fan@uary. . About the year 1625, 
White, minilter of Dorchefter, encouraged by the 
fuccefs of Plymouth colony, projected a new fet- 
tlement at Maflachufet’s Bay, as an afylum for 
the filenced minifters, and engaging feveral per- 
fons of confequence in the project, a patent was 
obtained from the King by the adventurers. 

One Roger Conant was firft fent over to 
eftablifh a fettlement in 1625, and after him 
John Endicot with recruits and provifions in 
1628. And in the next year the grand colony 
failed in fix fhips, and arriving at their intended 
fettlement founded there the towns of Salem, 
Charleftown and Bofton. :

Roger Wil. Long before thofe called Quakers came 


lisuns ba- 


uifhea, ©2mong{t them, and before they exifted as a 


fociety, as early as the year 1634, about four 
years after their fettlement here, they banifhed 
Roger 


* Guthrie’s remarks on this fubjet are a confirmation of 
thefe obfervations. The inhabitants of New England, who 
fled from perfecution, became in a fhort time tainted with this 
ijliberal vice, and were eager to introduce an uniformity in 
religion among all that entered their territories. 

We have alfo a full proof of this in a fetter dated Augult 
16, 1677, from William Coddington, governor of Rhode- 
filand, to R. Fretwell: 

«© b> Thefe forty years to my knowledge, they [the rulers of 

. © New-England] have had many warnings from the Spirit 
*© of the Lord in his fervants, all crying out againit their 
“ sdolatrous prattices, confufed principles and fighting Spirit, 
a s¢ Jong before that reproachtul name of Quakers got up, and 
| « before they were fent of God to call them to repentance 
« and amendment of life; but thefe they evilly entreated, as 
“ they have done John Wheelwright, Anne Hutchinfon and 
« others, bantihiog them at a court at Bofton in 1636, Henry 
4 “ Vane, governor, and twelve magiltrates, twelve pricits, and 
“ thircy-three deputies: > Nutwithitanding the governor and

Roger Williams, paftor of their church at Salem, c H a Pp, 


‘for his religious opinions}. In the year.1637 , X!V: 
a more extenfive fchifm broke out, which divided 
the inhabitants of Bofton and the adjacent coun- 
try into two parties, under the denominations Botton, 
of Antinomians and Legalifts, or fuch as were Neale. 
(as they ‘termed it) for a covenant of grace ; and 
jfuch as were for a covenant of works: And as it 
was no unufual thing with this body to mix 
politics with their religion, (the general prelude 
to perfecution) the Antinomians exerted them- 
felves to keep. Henry Vane, (afterwards a diftin- 
guifhed character in the long parliament) their 
prefent governor in power, as he openly ef- 
poufed their doétrines, and proteed _ their 
preachers: On the other fide, the oppofite party 
employed their efforts to eject him, and fubfti- 
tute * John Winthrop as governor in his flead, 
and 


1637. 


+ Thefe opinions (according to Neal) were ‘ that it was 
~€ not lawful for an unregenerate man to pray, nor for good 
'«¢ men to join in family prayer with thofe they judged unre- 
““ ‘generate. ‘That it was not lawful to take an oath before a 
- mapiftrate. That the patent they had from King Charles 
_ for their lands was invalid, and an inftrument of injultice 
“ to the natives, the king having no right to difpofe of their 

«lands to his fubjeéts without their confent. ‘That magi- 
“ {trates had nothing to do with matters of the firft table, but 
«© the fecond only; that there fhould be an unlimited toler- 
“¢ ation for all religions, and to punifh men for matters of 
“‘ confcience was perfecution.” I fee nothing in thefe opi- 
nions deferving banifhment or even cenfure. Neal’s hiftory 

of New-England, v. i. p. 159. 

* John Winthrop, although chofen governor for the pur- 

' pofe either of fupprefing the Antinomians, or at leaft de- 
priving them of any powerful fupport, feems to have been a 
man of too much good fenfe and moderation to be a fanguine 

_ perfecurop, ‘l'o keep up his party, and to accommodate the 

- furious temper of the priefts, he was led too far into the 

; perfecuting

c HA P, and with fome difficulty fucceeded in the elec. 
-, tion: Winthrop being fettled in the government, 
1625, and the Antinemians having loft their chief 
Syno* .on- protector, a fynod was convened to confider 
epee te the controverted points, and give judgment upon 
them. This fynod confifted not only of the 
minilters and delegates, but the magiftrates alfo, 
under colour of keeping the peace, were pre- 
fent, and had liberty to fpeak if they thought .. 
proper. By this fynod, compofed chiefly of 
their antagonifts, the Antinomian opinions to ~ 
be fure were condemned. This point being 
carried, the next {tep was to fummon the prin- 
cipals of the party before the fecular’ court, 
which was removed for the purpofe to Newtown, 
(fince called Cambridge) from fear that they — 
had too many partifans in Bofton. And three 
of the Bofton deputies having ‘fided with thefe 
‘Antinomians, in the firft place were expelled 
the court; before the court thus culled for the 
purpofe, John Wheelwright, colleague with 
john John Cotton as preacher at Bolten, being an 
Wheel-  ‘Antinomian, was fummoned to appear and give 
fummoued anfwer, whether -he would acknowledge his of- 
before the “fence in preaching up thefe new  doétrines 
. fe) ? 
ftiling his difcourfe a feditious fermon, or abide 
the fentence of the court, his anfwer being 
<‘ that he had been guilty of no fedition nor 
“ contempt; that he had delivered nothing but 
“¢ the truth of Chrift, and for the Shea

“ of his doétrine, that it was made by othersc Ha P. 
‘and not by himfelf:’”? And refufing, at the, *'Y- 
defire of the court, to go into voluntary banith- 

ment, they fentenced him to be disfranchifed Pe 
and banifhed the jurifdigtion. John Coggefhall, «tind ba- 
one of the late Bofton deputies of this party, Jolin Cog- 
was disfranchifed for a fpeech he made in the : 
court, notwith{tanding his pleading his privilege 
as a member. And Afpin, another of them, 

for figning a remonftrance in favour of Wheel- 
wright, was disfranchifed and banifhed. Wil- 

liam Baulfton and Edward Hutchinfon, two of 

the ferjeants of Bofton, for figning the faid re- 
monftrance, were turned out of their places, 
disfranchifed and fined, the former in 2o0l. the 

latter in gol. Hutchinfon acknowledging his 

fault had his fine remitted. ‘The exiles found a 
friendly reception with Roger Williams before- 
mentioned at Providence for the prefent, and 


afterwards purchafed a fettlement at * Rhode- 
Ifland 


* As Neale, from whom I take this account, follows 
Cotton Mather, an apologift for thefe feverities, there is reafon 
to fufpect his relation of partiality; if we had accounts on the 
other fide to balance againft this, I doubt not bus thefe pro- 
ceedings would appear in even a more unfavourable light. Of 
thefe firft {ettlers in Rhode-Ifland he copies this character from 
Mather. Cotton Mather reprefents them as a generation of 
Familifis, Libertines, Antinomians and Quakers, whofe pofterity 
for want of fchools of learning and a public miniltry, are 
become fo barbarous’as not to be capable of {peaking either 
‘good Englith or good fenfe. ‘They have an extreme averfion 
to a public miniftry, and would never till of Jate allow any 
fuch to preach among them. This feems the language of 
animofity and contempt; but-I have before me a very different 
defcription of thefe Rhode-IManders drawn up by a more 
judicious pen in my opinion; © Several flips, torn from the

ioe ‘The treatment of a female, whofe name was 
An Hu- Ann Hutchinfon, was even more fevere, and 
shinfon. her fate more melancholy. The account Neale 
gives of her cafe exhibits much of the invective 
ftyle throughout, being probably copied after 
the New England apologilts, and her imputed 
errors in the higheft colouring to palliate the 
feverities of the periecuting priefts and magi- 
ftrates. Yet we find no crime laid to her 
charge, only fpeculative opinions, which, if . 
erroneous, more properly demanded the labours, — 
of the minifters to confute and convince her, 
than the power of the inagiltrate to chatftile, ° 
Her cafe is reprefented to be this: a . 
The members of the church of Bofton met 
once a week, to repeat the fermons they had 
heard at their public worfhip, and to debate 
upon the doétrines contained in them. ‘Thefe 
meetings being peculiar to the men, fome zca- 
lous women thought it might be ufeful for them 
to hold fuch mectings among themfelves ; ac- 
cordingly this Ann Hutchinfon fet up one in 
her houfe, grounding her practice on the apof- 
tle’s 


“in a new fuil and fpread over the country ; fuch was that 
« of Rhode-!fiand, whofe inhabitants were driven out from 
«© the Maffachufett colony (for that is the name by which the 
“ government firft erected in New-England was diftinguithed) 
‘© for fupporting the freedom of religious fentiment, and main- 
“* taining that the civil magiftrate had no right over the fpe- 
“ culative opinions of mankind. ‘Vhefe hberal men founded 
“a city, called Providence, which they governed. by their 
¢ own principles; and fuch is the connection between jultnefs 
‘© of principle and external profperity; that the government

der a pretence of exalting the free grace of

to maintain an uniformity, they found other 

men influenced by religious confiderations, to | 

take the fame liberty here they themfelves had’ 

done in England, to diffent from their efta- 
blifhed-religion, as they had done from that of 

1650. the bifhops. In the year 1650 fome of the in-. 
pos hi habitants adopted the opinion of the Anabap-. 
Anabaptifts tits, withdrew from the eftablifhed worthip, 
aoa arePe and fet up a feparate meeting,’ whereupon Oba- 
diah Holmes, one of the principal’ diffenters, 

was excommunicated, and then fummoned to. 

appear before the court at Plymouth, by which 

he and his aflociates were commanded to defift 

from their feparation, and neither to ordain 
oflicers, nor to baptize, nor to break bread to- 

gether, nor to meet on the firft days of the 

week ; but looking on this command as an ar- 

bitrary violation of their chriftian liberty, they 
pleaded, that in their feparation they were actu. 

ated by the conviction of their own con- 
{ciences, and that it was better to obey God 


than man.

tants of New England, it is clearly manifeft, that 
a perfecuting fpirit had found admiflion amongft 
thefe refugees from perfecution, long before any 
of the people called Quakers came into thofe 
parts, and did not originate from any_necef- 
fity occafioned by their extravagant principles - 
or practices, as the New England apologifts re- 
prefent them.

We have feen the inimical difpofition of the #4 ?. 
priefts and ruling powers in Eneland, and their, *Y 
inveterate prejudice toward this people ; thefe 
being many of them of the independent clafs, 
doubtlefs kept up a correfpondence with their 
brethren in New England, and it is probable 
filled their letters of intelligence with invectives 
again{t the Quakers ; for it is manifeft they had 
received an unreafonable prejudice agdin{ft them 
before ever they faw their faces; and had con- 
demned their principles as heretical, before they 
had any fair opportunity of knowing what thefe 
principles were. 
- But buoyed up as they were with the high 1656. 
notion of their own righteoufnefs, and the ulti- 
mate refinednefs of their religion, they feemed 
fixed in the determination to give no admilffion 
to any other doctrines, than thofe which their 
inaipiftrated! under the influence of their teach- 
ers and fynods, thought proper to eftablilh. No 
fooner was the intelligence given of two female 
Quakers, Anne Auftin and Mary Fifher, being anneAutin 
arrived from Barbadoes, in the road before {ij My 
Bofton, than Richard Bellingham, the deputy rive at Bof- 
governor, immediately ordered them ta be de-‘°™ 
tained on board, and difpatched officers to fearch 
their trunks and chefts, who taking away about 
one hundred books, carried them afhore. On 
this extraordinary occafion, as Neal terms it, a 
council extraordinary was convened by the 
governor, as if to provide ‘for the fecurity of 
the ftate again{t the alarming danger threcteuing 
it from: the arrival of two harmlefs women, 
which iffued the following order :

‘ft tion, but in a great meafure of fultenance alfo,

which exciting the compaffion of Nicholas Up. 
fal, an ancient inhabitant of Bofton, he pur- 
chafed of the jailer the liberty of fending them 
provifions, at the extravagant rate of 5s, per 
week, for fear they fhould be ftarved. After 
about five weeks confinement, one William Chi. 
cefter, mafter of a veflel, was bound in a bond 
of iool. to carry them back to Barbadoes. And 


the jailer kept their beds and their bible for his 
fees. 


A few days after the departure of thefe wo- 
men, viz. on the 7th of the month called 
Augult, 
and people of all ranks contributed to fpread the mifchievous' 
deception fo far as to introduce general confufion and difmay 3. 
and afjer their hands’ were tied up from hanging of Quakers, 
they hanged one another for witchcraft and forcery on vague 
accufations. Not by the mifpuided fury of a fuperftitious 
populace; but with all the formalities of a folemn trial, by | 
the hands of the common executioner nineteen perfons of | 
both fexes fuffered death in litle more than three months 
‘time; eleven more lay under condemnation, and one hun- 
dred and fifty in prifon untried. Mott of thefe unhappy 
perfons aflerted their innocence of the matters laid to their 
charge to the lalt, many of them appear to have been of re- 
putable lives and circymftance in the world. | And the prin- 
cipal tokens of fafcination recorded in their hiftory appear 
to be in the profecutors, the judges and the jury, who could 
condemn to death fo many innocent perfons upon fuch idle 
tales and fenfelefs abfurdities as were given in evidence 
againft them; and after all, when the people were fo far 
reflored to their fenfes as to make public recantation of 
their erroneous proccedings, their juitice went no farther than 
words. The accufed perfons, being fome of them people of 
property, had all their effeets feized by the officers, of which 
afterwards, even thofe, whofe innocency was acknowledged, 
could never recover any, or but a yery inconfiderable part.

are defcribed as a curfed fect of hereticks, blaf-

terms of reproach are by men of candour and.

Burden, widow, who although no preacher, nor 
adminiftering any occafion of offence,- or any 
caufe of being termed a difturber of church or 
ftate, being an honeft inoffenfive woman, com- 
ing over on the reafonable’errand of recovering 
or gathering in fome debts due to her in that 
country ; yet fhe was taken up, and carried be- 
fore Bellingham, the deputy -governor, who. 
upon examining her, although it was manifeft, 
fhe had lawful bufinefs, and he could find no 
fault or occafion of offence in her, only as fhe 
was a Quaker, he faid that /he mu/? abide their 
Jaw, and committed her to prifon, where fhe was 
detained a quarter of a year, though fick at the. 
fame time. During her imprifonment, fome of 
her acquaintance had procured of her debts in 
goods to the value of about forty pounds, which, 
when fhe was ordered to be fent away, fhe de- 
fired liberty to carry with her to Barbadoes, to 
be difpofed of, being not fit for the Englifh 
market ; this reafonable requeft was denied her, 
and a mafter of a fhip compelled to carry her to 
England, again{t her will and without her goods. 
And when he enquired who fhould pay for her 
paflage, the magiltrates bade him take fo much of 
her goods as would fatisfy him: * Which however 
he would not do, having fo much dependance on 
her honefty, that though: he could not compel 


her to pay, as fhe was fent away without her 


own confent, yet that fhe would not let him be 


a lofer, and he was not difappointed in his ex- 
pectation.

with twenty {tripes of a * three corded whip on 
her naked back, and detained her in prifon a- yaryctark,

* I think Neal’s relation of this poor man’s cafe demands 
‘fome animadverfions. Harris (fays he) like the reft of his 
** brethren, would not ftrike a {lroke in prifon, he would fuf= 
“ fer any thing, but do nothing ; nay fo ttubborn were he and 
** his friends that they would neither pay the fines that were 
* laid upon them, nor be at the charge of tranfporting them- 
_** felves out of the country.” This author profeffes to give 
an * IMPARTIAL account of the affairs of New England, to 
treat the | mistakes which the government fell into with.re- 
gard to the Quakers and Anabaptifts with freedom. But I 

think this and many other paffages of his work, nay the ge-— 
neral turn of expriihon through the whole narration of their 
treatment of the Quakers, and Anaba tfts alfo, betrays a 
partial bias. Small blemifhes (for argument’s fake admitting 
them fuch) on one fide exaggerated with {eveie acrimoniouinefs 
of expreflion, and the greateit enormities which human nature 
can be capable of, barbarous cruelty aud inhumanity, on the 
other, foftened in palliative terms, are no inltances of impar- 
tiality; but manifeit the writer to be under the influence of an 

undue prepoffeflion in fayour of a party. The forecited reflec- * 

tions appear to me evidently partial and unfair. Thefe origi- | 
nal Quakers, moved in a fvhere fuperior to the walk, or even 
the conception of, the perfecuting profeffors of religion, how- 
_ ever oftentatious, or that of the wife men of this world, how- 
ever puffed up by their knowledge, without charity: It was 
their folicitous and unremitted endeavour to trace out the plain 
way to heaven through all attendant afflictions and tribulations 
_ on earth, even that way which the vulture’s eye hath not feen 
nor any ravenous beaft, nor perfecuting {pirit trodden in; but 
wherein the way-faring man though a foul fhall not err. Care-

356 HISTORY or Tue 


Ae 5 Z 
CHAR On the 2oth of 3d month this year, another 
cy law was made, which as a fpecimen of the tem- 

1658. : Pet, 
obey the will of God, as the means of finding peace and ac- 
ceptance with him ; in obedience to his requirings, as they in 
the fincerity of their hearts believed, they were engaged to 
goto and fro, to propagate righteoufnefs, and to convince 
the profeflors of chriftianity of the infecurity of trufting in 
any profeflion of relig.on without holinefs. Confcious of the pu- 
rity and difintereftednefs of their motive, and in the difcharge 
of duty, endeavouring to keep a confcience void of offence 
toward God and toward man, they juftly thought thefe New- 
England Jaws founded in injuftice, and the penalties inflicted 
with inhumanity, a palpable infringement of the univerfal 
Jaws of God and nature: They knew themfelves to be in- 
nocent of juft offence to God or man; in this view to be ac- 
tive in their own punifhment, they thought a tacit acquief- 
cence and confefhon of guilt, which their confciences wit- 
nefled they were free from: As faithful martyrs they patiently 
Suffered any thing, that unreafonable men invefted with arbi- 
trary power might be permitted to lay upon them, for their 
open teftimony to the truth, or againft error ; but they would 
do nothing that might imply an acknowledgement of puiltinefs 
of any crime, which they believed themfelves in no degree - 
guilty of; And what in this conduét is juftly blameable? It 

‘= was the only way left them under the adminiftration of un- 
equal rule to affert their innocence, to keep the reputation of 
that truth they maintained, their converfation and their con- 
{ciences unfpotted, which was a concern nearer to their hearts, 
than to refcue their bodies from torture. 
"This author fhould have firft demonftrated the laws to be 
reafonable and jult, before he cenfured thefe men for declining 
a voluntary fubmiflion thereto; whereas the unreafonablenefs 
thereof was fo palpable, that he cannot help owning it iv dif- 
erent places: Yet from his manner of expreffion, it feems as 
if: admitted of no difpute, that it was both reafonable and 
equitable that they fhould pay the fines impofed upon them for 
no other crime than their religious diffent from the eftablith-

At a Court at Bofton the 20th of May, 1658. 


6 That Quakers and fuch accuRSsED HERE- Second law 
“¢ Ticks, arifing among ourfelves, may be dealt Quakers, 
** with according to their deferts, and their * pe/fi- 
** lent errors and practices may be {peedily pre- 
) “*¢ vented, - 
he could not. do this without condemning their perfecutors 
alfo, whom he juftifies under the fame circumftance. To tax 
them with ftubbornnefs in refufing fo unjult a requifition as to 
pay the charges of their own tranfportation out of the coun- 
ary, is fo abfurd, fo contrary to reafon and every natura) and 
humane rule that it needs no refutation ; and yet he cenfures 
them for this, as if it were their indifpenfable moral. duty. 

_ He goes on, “ They were as perverfe and obftinate in pri- 
'« fon, as out of it, infomuch that the jailer was forced to 
. & lay the cafe before the magiftrates, who ordered him to 

« whip them twice a week, &c, But Harris and his friends 
were not to be tamed by thefe methads, but refolved to die 
rather than fubmit, and one of them was almoft whipped to 
death upon this order; but when Harris had fuffered a fe- 
comd whipping, fome of his friends paid his charges, and 

‘fo he was difmiffed. And this became afterwards the 
ufual practice of the Quakers not to pay their own fees, 
but to fuffer others to do it for them.” 
* Peftilent errors.and practices, diabolical do@trines.] Thefe 
are no more than hard names, without application or other 
meaning, than that the framers had imbibed an intemperate and 
undeferved bitternefs of f{pirit again{t this people, without due 
examination into their principles or practices. If they were fo 
peftilent, pernicious and diabolical, they were the more eafily 
expofed and refuted. And their paftors (fo termed) had ma- 
. nifefted a more becoming zeal, in exercifing chriftian endea- 
yours to preferve their flocks from infeétion, by pious exhorta- 
tions, by expofing the ill confequence of their pernicious ways, 
and refuting their diabolical doétrines, than by applying to the 
fecular power to reprefs by violence, doctrines which they were 
. unable or too idle to refute by argument.

dy,t,‘ he violated his engagement in fending them CHA P. 


by a conftable to Salem, where being interro! 
gated by the magiftrates, Whether they were 
Quakers? they anfwered, We are in fcorn called 
jo. Then it was objected to them, that they held 
dangerous errors, as denying Chrift, who fuffered 
death .at ‘ferufalem, and the fcriptures. Boldly 
contradicting this charge, they aflerted that, 
They owned “Fefus Chrift, who juffered death at 
Jerufalem, and owned the fcriptures alfo. Not- 


with{tanding their denial of this falle accufation, 


and the confeflion of the magiftrates, that they 
found no evil in them, they were committed to 
prifon there, and thence tranfmitted to the houfe 
of correction in Bofton, where they were re- 
quired to work ; .but they being not free to fub- 
‘mit to this requifition, as being convicted of no 
crime, the jailer, who fought his gains from their 
labour, would allow them no victuals, though 
_they offered to pay for them, telling them, it was 
not their moncy, but their werk which he wanted. 
Five days they; were kept from food, and then 
received twenty ftripes with the three-corded 
‘whip. Some time after he let them know, they 
were at liberty to depart, upon paying their fecs, 
and hiring the marfhal to conduct them out of the 
country. ‘This unreafonable, condition they were 
not free to comply with, but fignified their wil- 
‘lingnefs to accept their liberty, if it were freely 
ranted. . | 

Next day this moft cruel and inhuman jailer 
put William Brend, a man in years, in irons, 
neck and heels fo clofe together, that there was 
only room for the lock that faftened them, and

HISTOR Y ‘or: tHe 


kept him in this painful pofture from five jn the ° 


morning till after nine at night, above fixteen 
hours. Next morning he infifted on William’s 
falling to work for him, difabled by the preced- 
ing cruel treatment, which he refufed to do, 


whereupon this * brutal jailer took a pitclied : 4 


rope, about an inch thick, and gave him twenty 
blows over his back and arms with all his ftrength 
till the rope untwifted : Then he fetched another 


“rope thicker and ftronger, and with the utmoft 


‘violence, foaming at the mouth with paffion to «: 


diftraction, laid en his bruifed body fourfcore 


and feventeen blows more, by the report of other _ 


prifoners, who with grief and compaflion beheld 


this. cruel abufe of an honeft man, who had done 


too far ; an higher power, who limits the raging 
| fea, . 


nothing worthy of bonds, till his ftrength and his 
rope failed him, and the poor man’s’ pack and 
armts were fo reduced to one gore of blood, that 
the fign of a particular blow could not be dif, 
tinguifhed, he defifted not ; and even then defitt- 
ed with paffionate menaces of repeating equal 
cruelty the next day. But he had already gone 


_° * What is moft amazing, this jailer, fo deftitute of every 
fymptom of humanity, was a pretender to religion, and was 
careful that very morning, after fatiating his vengeance on this 
poor man, to addrefs himfelf to his morning prayer ; but ta 
what purpofe, the prophet //aiad, in the name of the Almighty, 


_ in the following {trong reproof, hath plainly declared, ‘* When 


{© you make many prayers, I will not hear : your hands are fult 


-§ of blood. Such a religion afforded jaft grounds for the fol- 


fowing reproof of Humphrey Narton, delivered at the clofe of 
one of their leétures: ¢ Verily, this is the facrifice which the 
s¢ Lord accepts not ; for while with the fame fpirit that ye 


' & fin, ye preach, and pray and fing, that facrifice is an abo- 


«© mination to the Lord;” for which he received his fifteen 
lathes inftead of ten.

barbarous executor of vengeance, by vibe hel a 
from an unexpected quarter. pss 

I have already apprifed my readers, that in my 

remarks on the prefent ruling powers, I mean 
not to throw reflections on any body of people ; 
but only perfecutors and fomenters of perfecution. 
Tam perfuaded that, amidft too much infincerity 
in the profeffion of religion, while the grafping 
at undue exercife of temporal authority was the 
end in view, there were multitudes among the 
independents, who were more fincerely religious, 
and fecretly regretted the extremities, to which 
thefe rulers ftretched their authority. In the 
prefent cafe, the perfevering inhumanity of this 
jailer towards this inoffenfive fufferer had fo far 
exhaufted his natural firength, that he fell down 
under his hands fo extremely weakened, that for 
fome time he loft his fight, hearing and feeling, 
turned quite cold, and had about him all the 
fymptoms of a dying man. 

The noife of this cruelty getting abroad, the The people 
murmurs of the people broke out into a general “icontent- 
outcry againft it, which cauled the governor to cruelty. 
fend his furgeon to the prifon to examine his 
condition, who, defpairing of his recovery, re- 

- ported, that the fle/h would rot off his bones, ere 

the bruifed parts could be brought to digeft. This rye magit. 

report exafperated the people to that degree, that viene 

the magiftrates, to appeafe them and prevent ajiie 

tumult, fet up a paper at the meeting-houfe doors them. 

and other public places, fignifying their diflike 

of this abominable cruelty ; and that the jailer 

Jhould be dealt with at the next court day. But 

‘this paper was foon after taken down at the in- priet Nor- 

{tigation of their chief prieft, John Norton, atin ane

C Hobe. principal promoter of the perfecution from the 
’_ beginning, who on this occafion manifefted him- 
16<g, elf as deftitute of common humanity, as of 
,TO5o. Binis 4 . E ‘ < 2 
chriftian charity, in the following cruel, unjuft 
and unmeaning parallel between the fufferer and 
the pretended caufe of his fuflering, William 
Brend (faid he) endeavoured to beat our gofpel or- 
dinances black and blue ; if then he be beaten black 
| and blue, it is but suft upon him, and I will appear 
| in bis behalf that did it. The ridiculous abfur- 
dity of this nonfenfical refleCtion would ‘only 
merit contempt, if the inveterate bitternefs there- 
of, exciting to cruelty upon cruelty, did not 
extort abhorrence. It is therefore no caufe of 
admiration, that under fuch teachers the magif- 
trates, prieft-ridden, and ftimulated to rage by 
their inflammatory difcourfes, were fo prompt to 
| @ _perfecution ; that blind zealots, led by blind 
' - gujdes, fhould with their leaders fall into the 
ditch of error, in treating ‘with avenging wrath 
the promulgators of truth. 
In the mean time William Brend miraculoufly 
recovering, the diffatisfaction of the people dying 
| away, and the magiftrates recovering from the 
| panick 4nto which the apprehenfion of his dying 
by the jailer’s cruelty had thrown them, perfifted — 
in the fame line of cruelty; inftead of calling 
the jailer to account as they had promifed, they | 
{trengthened his hands by the following order: 
“¢ "That the jailer, if the Quakers refufed to work, 
“2 << fhould whip them twice a week, the firft time 
“ with ten lafhes, the next time with Speen; and 
“ fo each time with three more till they would 
“ work ;”? but to preferve fome appearance of 
_difpofition to moderate the jailer’s fury, they 
_ ordered that he fhould warn two conftables to

.” Neale goes on, (fee note on T. Harris) ‘¢ They were as 
* perverfe and obftinate in prifon as out of it, infomuch that ~ 
** the jailer was forced to lay the cale before the magiftrates, 
“© &c, &c,” as in the note referred to. 

‘¢ One of them was almoft whipped to death.”] This was 
William Brend, above mentioned, whofe particular grievous. 
fuffering he could hardly be ignorant of, as he quotes 2i/bop’s 
New Jing, judged, frequently, and confequently had read it, 

whofe account correfponds with the preceding recital: Yet he 

briefly pafles it over thus: ‘* William Brend and William 

“© Leddra were fent to the houfe of correction at Bofton; and 

** having received ten Jalhes, were told they might have their 

“ liberty, paying their fees, and hiring the marfbal to convey 

$* them out of the country ; but they refufed to depart, .and 

“* were therefore whipped more feverely, ull fome of their 

s friends, Jaid dawn the money, and fo they were dif- 

“ charged.”” : 

After reviewing my foregoing relation of the cafe of W. 
Brend, as I find it related by W. Sewel, Jof. Beffe, and ia 
New Eng. judged, which all in the general correfpond, and 
which laft was publifhed near the time of thefe tranfaétions, 
and the veracity thereof neyer called in queftion, that 1 have 
heard of; On comparing this narration of Neale’s therewith, 
we plainly difcover the partiality of his pen, paflng ver in 
filence, or flightly noticing in foftened general terms, all the - 

- inftances of their barbarity which fhock humanity, to avoid 
» expofing the memory of the perpetrators thereof to the infamy 

‘naturally attendant on fuch actions, or even to {creen them 
~ from every imputation of guilt or blame, his relation bearing 

a complexion as if the unhappy fufferers were alone blameable. 

If his {tate of the cafe is not evidently very partial and unfair 

throughout, let the reader judge upon the comparifon thereof 
’ with the account in the treatife, entitled New England judged, 
which he quotés in marginal references almoft from page to 

age as his authority, Neale fays, ‘* after ,having received 
ten lathes they were told they might have their liberty, 
«© &c.” which leads us paturally to imagine this offer was 
made them immediately after the whipping, which was Ht

who each of them received the firft time fif- 


teen ftripes inftead of ten; but we have no ac. 


count of either jailer or conflable being called 
to 


the cafe as reprefented in that treatife: * «* Having whipped 
«¢ them, the jailer locked them up ina clofe room, dark and 


*¢ without air, in the hot fummer feafon, from food and friend, >: # 


«* ull the fourth day following, (two days) then he told them 
** they were clear, paying their fees (who owed him none) and 
‘¢ hiring the marfhal to convey them out of the country,”(which 


~ they were not free to do, as having done nothing worthy of 
‘bonds or banifhment.) But if they were clear, having fuf- 


fered the penalty of their unauthorifed inhofpitable law, what 
right had this hypocritical jailer to infli&t further punifhment 


‘upon them? They were now in the moft favourable light on 


his fide, fimply his debtors for a trifle, and what right could 
he, or the moft ftrenuous apologift for him, claim beyond 
that of detaining them in prifon for their debt unpunifhed, 
unreftrained from food, which they were willing to purchafe 
but were not fuffered. But after this, his declaring them c/ear, 


it was that William Brend was whipped almof to death, as 


before defcribed. Neale’s mutilated account of this tranf- 
action is to me a plain evidence of his partiality : He fays, 
* one of them was almoft whipped to death :” He had read 


' Bifhop’s account, Why not tell who it was and how? Why 


pafs over the fufferings of William Brend, when he under- 
takes to relate it in fo curfory a manner, but to cover the 


~ cruelty of his perfecutors and endeavour to fix a {tigma on the 


poor man as the author of his own fufferings? “ They 


“ refufed to depart, and were therefore whipped more . 


' & fevyerely.”? This, by our account, is a falfe {tate of the 


cafe: They did not refufe, but fignified their willingnefs to 
depart, if they might freely; but this was ‘refufed them, 
except on unreafonable terms, they could not in confcience 
comply with; neither can I difcover upon what authority 
(for he cites none) he afferts * that their friends laid down 
‘¢ the money, and fo they were difcharged.” I'he authority 
he generally quotes fays no fuch thing as to William Brend, 
and it is fo contrary to the praétife of thefe, I underftand by 
his friends, that I fhall believe it a mifreprefentation, tll I 
have ftronger evidence of its truth than D. Neale’s bare 


affertion.

“¢ Friends, ‘ 


“¢ Whereas it was your pleafure to commit

Such a fample of legiffation is 4 monument 
di fafting infamy to the legiflators. Yo enact 
and inflict capital punifhment from  perfonal 
diflikes, for mere perfonal offences, or a con- 
fcientious diflent to eftablifhed forms, even 
with a conttitutional authority, is little thors of 
rourder ; but without it it is well nigh murder of 
malice prepenfe. For as to the undermining 
oY inciting to difaffeGtion to the civit governs 
ment, to.its ruin, thefe are no more than vague 
pretexts, unfupported by matter of fac. '"Jhe 
ufual fubterfuge of perfecution, to ftrip itfelf 
ef the odium SE its real character, is to clathe 
reliious diffent with the robe of fedition in the 
ftate ; yet the preamble of this law points 
chieily at religious fcruple or imoffenfive ulages, . 
‘which mark it. at firft view with the one of 
downright perfecution’ to death. .

to the Hebrews advifes not to be unmindful of. . 
And after feven weeks imprifonment, Caflandra 
was fined gos. for owning a paper written by 
the aforefaid perfons. Next for abfenting from 
the public worfhip and owning the Quakers’ 
doétrine, on the information of one captain Haw-

thorn iffued his warrant to diftrain their goods 
for abfence from their public worfhip, whereby 
there were taken from them cattle to the value

were banifbed in Fane: and allowed till the 4th of September to 

depart, and fo conceive an idea of the lenity of this govern- 

ment, to which it hath no better claim in this, than in its pre- 

ceding tranfa@tions, being marked with the fame bitter fpirit of 

unpitying animofity. From New Eng. judged we learn, 

“ That they came from Rhode Ifland in the then 4th month” 
t« (June) to Bofton, where they were apprehended, and fent to 

“ prifon, fo remain there till the next Ccurt of Affifants,” which 

was held as above related: The order for their releafe bears 

date the 12th of September, and concludes thus: ‘ They 

“© mult anfwer it on their peril, if they or any of them after 

‘© the 14th of this prefent month September, are found within 

‘ this jurifdiction.” So then they had no more than two days 

allowed them to. efcape their determined deftruction, This 

was certainly 9 very hard meafure, for no other crime than 

breathing the air of the country, and too evident a fymptom of 
implacable malignity, rifing to blood-thirftinefs in their perfe- 
cutorsy hardly reconcileable to Endicot’s declaration, that he 

defired not their death. But Neale in his relation conceals 

this aggravating circumftance, which is a very material part of 
an honeft and impartial account, as it fhews thefe governors in 

a proper light; and there appears too much reafon to conclude ' 
it was-‘done with defipn to glofs over the cruelty of thefe pro- 

ceedings, by giving them a compleétion of lenity which they , 
poffeffed not, and to the conduét of the innocent fufferers, that 

of an unreafonable: contumacy, and being guilty of their own 

blood ; of which they were no otherwife guilty, than by contis ° 
nuing in the difcharge of apprehended duty.

f.Amongft the reft who attended this execu:c HAP, 

tion, John Wilfon, prieft of Bofton, and col- *Y* 

rea league 1659. 
“Wilfon, 

‘* Where faéts have been differently related, or the juftice of vie: ate 

“« the government arraigned, as in the fufferings of the Qua- tends the 

{*-kers and Anabaptilts, &c. Ihave confulted the writers on execution, 

‘* both fides, and by comparing them together have fet them 

in the beft light I could.” Yet in this cafe his affertion is - 

not true, for he hath paffed over in filence George Bifhop’s 

account of the behaviour of thefe fcfferers at their execution, 

(from whence our acgcounts are taken, as from an authentick 

relation, written by a contemporary author, and firft publifh- 

ed in 1661, while the faéts were recent, and all the parties 

concerned in being, and not controverted that I know of) and 

hath adopted that of Cotton Mather, a New England preacher 

and apologift, written many years after, whofe refleélions on 

the Quakers have been fully anfwered by John Whiting, in a 

piece, entitled Truth and Lunocency defended againft Falfehood 

and Envy, printed in 1702. Which anfwer Neale alfo cites 

for his authority, page 325. vol. i. and confequently had read 

it, where he might have feen thefe afperfions refuted. Now 

to fupprefs the moft genuine and’ beft authenticated accounts. 

of their behaviour, becaufe written by their friends, and in- 

troduce the illiberal, invidious refleGtions of an adverfary, 

founded on vague and prejudiced report, is not comparing the 

ariters on both fides to fet the fas in the bzft light be could. 

And as he hath chofen to revive Mather’s invidious and re- 

futed infinuations, it feems proper after his refpondent, John 

Whiting, to make fome animadverfions upon them, to fupply 

‘Neale’s failure of his fpecious profefhon, in comparing the wri. 

ters of both fides, and leaving the reader to make what reflec- 

tions he pleafes. Cotton Mather fays, «* Ifany enquire with 

“ what fpirit thefe men died, he muft fincerely fay, that as 

“© far ashe can learn, they fhewed little enough of the f{pirit , 

“ of martyrdom, they died nat like the true martyrs of Jefus 

«* Chrift, with the glorious fpirit of God refting upon them ; 

“ but a fierce, a raging, a revengcful fpirit, anda degree of 

«© madnefs rather infpired them.”* Rank malice this. Mere 

unfupported partial opinion, founded in :H will, waich fpeaks 

well of none. ‘To which hear John Whiting’s reply. <« I 

“ would fain know wherein [they thewed little of the fpirit of 


“ martyrdom} and befeech the reader to perufe, not only 
€ thele

Jacks as you come in before authority with their

wonderful reafon indeed to take away their

remark, Mind you, mind you, it is for not putting 
off the bat we are put to death, William Ro- 
binfon was executed the firft, wha on the ladder 
addrefled the people to the following purport; 
We fuffer not as evil doers, but as thofe who have 


teftified and manififted the truth; This is the day

«ed the hearts of many at the time, fo that feveral were 
“ convinced of the truth at their deaths—a fierce, a rag- 
“ing, a revengeful fpirit, Se. return upon him, as man 
«© ficious flanders and calumnies, and dare him to tell where- 
«in they were fierce, raging, or revengeful: Did they ever

I -have born tefimony, and am now going to feal 


" my Siesones with my blood. Wilfon, as divefted

of all fentation of charity and tendernefs, and 


unable to reftrain the paffion which inwardly, 


agitated him, in beholding the patience and for- 
titude of the fufferer, bearing him up’ over all 
the terrors of death, vented his indignation, in 
the following prefumptuous interruption, hold 
iby tongue, be filent; thou art going to die with a 


_ lie in thy mouth. William Robinion being now 


ready to be turned aff, his lait expreflions were, 
I fuffer for Chrift in. whom I live, and for whom 
I die, After he was turned off, Marmaduke Ste- 
venfon afcended the ladder, and faid, Be it 
known unto you all this day, that we fuffer not 
as evil doers, but for confcience fake, and when 
he was about to be turned off, added, This 
day fhall we be at reft with the Lord. Mary 
Dyer was reprieved at the gallows, for. that 
time, at the interceffion of her fon. 

‘The malice of their perfecutors was not fa- 
tisfied with taking away their liyes, but their in- 
humanity extended even to their dead badies, 
none holding them when they were cut down, 
they fell to the ground, by which William Ro- 
binfon’s fkull was fra€tured; then they were 
{tripped, their fhirts were ripped off with a 
knife, and their naked bodies rolled into a hole 
and left there uncovered, And when fome of 
their friends would have put their bodies in 
coffins, they were not fuffered to do it. Neither 
when they brought pales to enclofe the pit, would 
it be allowed: So that they were left expofed 
to the beafts of prey, had not the pit been quickly 
filled with water. To conclude the infamous 

fcene, Prieft Wilfon aforefaid vented the de

‘of "New! England?’ «: By ‘their < fruits. ye: shall: know 
‘s¢ them,” ‘was the criterion pointed out by the author of the 
chtetian religion, to try pretences to religion by, and to dif- 
‘criminate the falfe prophet from the true. | Wherefore it may 
‘be no improper digreflion to take a fummaty review of the 
“conduét of thefe Anabaptilts, in an abftra&t from a late au- 
- ‘thor *, and enquire wherein the Quakers refembled them. 
oe Mathias, a baker of Harlem, and -John Bocold, a tay- 
lor of Leyden, were at the head of the diforders and delu- 
“fons ' of thefe' viftonary impoftors ; they fettled in Munfter, ‘a 
“city of ‘Weftphalia, and gained many profelytes to their tenets, 
tthe principal of which, and from which they. obtained their 
pame, was this, that’baptifm ought to be 4dminiftered only 
.to adult perfons; and'fhould be performed, now by fprinkling 
‘but dipping’; condenining the baptizing: of infants, and re- 
\baptizing all whom ‘they ‘admitted ‘into their fociety. |. This 
“being a'harnilefs “fpéculative principle, and having fome. ap- 
‘pearance of réafon’and authority from the pratice of the:pri- 
abiitive chriftians, could expofe them to little «or no cenfure, 
“if they had’ fopped' here. But to thefe, they are reprefented 
“to haye added other’principles inconfiftent with moral’ recti- 
“*tude,''and dangerous"to the peace and order of fociety ;: they 
" t pretended that: magifttacy‘'was ‘not only ‘unneceffary. among 
~ chriftians 5‘ but an’ inlawful encroachment:‘on their fpiritual 
‘liberty : They were for levelling all’ ranks; making’ all: pro- 
"'perty common ;' and' reducing all men to a ftate of equality: ! 
”° Bur thefe levelling principles operated with thefe men only 
‘while they were themfelves neceflarily among the lower orders 
“of the people: For their fuccefs in making profelytes difco- 
- yered the unfoundnefs of their hearts; and the. extravagance 
[of theit ambition : having gained fome citizens of eminence to, 
“the adoption of their opinions, they expanded their ::views, 
‘and made feveral unfuccefsful attempts to get pofleflion of the 
-’town, in order to-gain! an eftablifhment there be their motley

You muft return to the prifon,, and there remainC HAP. 
until to-morrow at nine o'clock; then from thence. ~Y* 
you muft goto the gallows, and there be hanged until 
you are dead. ‘To which fhe anfwered, This is 
no more than what thou faidft before. Y¥ndicot 
replied; But now it is to be executed, therefore 
prepare yourfelf to-morrow at nine o'clock. She 
then fpoke thus: I came in obedience to the will 
of God, the laft general court, defiring you to re- 
peal your unrighteous laws for banifbment on pain 
of death ; and that fame is my work now, and 
earneft requeft ; although I .told you, that if you 
refufed to repeal them, the Lord would fend others 
of his fervants to witne/s againft them. Tere- 
upon Endicot afked her, Whether fhe was a pro- 
phetef/s ? She anfwered, She /poke the words that 
the Lord fpoke to her, and now the thing was 
come to pafs. And beginning to fpeak of her 
call, Endicot cried, Away with her, away with 
ber. So the was brought .to prifon, and kept 
clofe till next day. | " 

About the time appointed, the marfhal M/- Unhand- 
chaelfon came, and called for her to come hattily, ace oft 
and coming into the room where fhe was, fhe Marhal, 
defired him to fray.a little, and, peaking mildly, 
faid, /he would be ready prefently: But he, being 
of a rough temper, faid,.He could not wait upon 
her, but fhe /bould now wait upon him. One 
Margaret Smith, her companion, being grieved 
to fee .fuch hard-heartednefs, fpoke fomething a- 
gain{t their unjuft. laws and proceedings: ‘l’o which 
he faid, You /hall have. your fhare of the fame. by whom 
‘then Mary Dyer was brought forth, and with a Se } ken 
band of foldiers led through the town, the cution with 
drums being beaten before and behind her, and Rae 
fo continued, that none-might hear her {peak drum;

it; for fhe faid, It is falfe, it is falfe, I never egies 
pote thofe words. ‘Yhen one mentioned that fhe ‘<6, 
ould have faid, /he had been in paradife. To 
which fhe anfwered, Yea,. I have been in para- 
dife thefe feveral days. And more fhe fpoke of 
the eternal happinefs, into which fhe was now 
to enter. Thus Mary Dyer departed this life, a 
conftant and faithful martyr to Chrift, having 
been twice led to death, which the firft time 
fhe expected with an entife refignation of mind 
to the will of God, and now futfered with chrif- 
tian fortitude, being railed above the fear of — 
death, through a bleffed hope, and glorious af- 
furance of eternal life and immortality. ; 
There were at this time * eleven others prifon- Eleven 
ers in Bofton, of whom Chriftopher Holder was prifon 
fentenced to banifhment upon pain of death, fix 
were fentenced to be whipped, and four ordered . 
to depart the colony, 
Having now brought up the tranfactions of the 
government of Majflachufets Bay, in relation to 
the Quakers, to the prefent period of this hiflory, - 
it is time to take a view of the proceedings 
‘ againft this people in other colonies. ‘The colony 
of NewPlymouth copied after that of the Maffa- 
chufets, as appears by a letter of James Cud- 
worth, who had borne the offices of a magiftrate 
and a captain or commiffion officer there, till he 
refigned the one, and was difcharged from the 
other, for difcovering fome humanity to the per- 
fecuted Quakers, of which letter to a friend in 
London, as from an impartial hand, I copy an

** then was, If any entertain a Quaker, and keep

** But fince that a law hath been made, Yhat if 
* any entertain a Quaker, though but a quarter.

“* diate notice to him, or elfe be fubsect to the cen- 


,  *S fure of the court. Another—That if the con-

and I wifh that blood may not be fhed: Our 
poor people are pillaged and plundered of their 
goods, and haply when they have no more ta 
fatisfy the infatiable defire of their perfecutors, 
may be forced to fly, and glad to have their 
lives fot a prey. 

«¢ The means whereby they are impoverithed, 

are their fcrupling an oath, and for their 
meetings ; It being found that they had a-con- 
fcientious fcruple againft fwearing, all were 
called upon to take the oath of fidelity, which 
they refufing, a claufe was added, That if any 
man refufed or neglected to take it by fuch a 
time, he fhould pay 51. or depart the colony : 

They are required to take the oath again at 
every fucceflive court, and as they cannot, they 


‘ are diftrained over and over agath. On this

Ido not find that during this period, any of 


thoie called Quakers had as yet vifited any other | 


ot the American fettlements on the continent, 
except the Dutch colony of New Amfterdam, 
(now New York) where fome of them, particu- 
ete larly Robert Hodgfon, underwent grievous fuf- 
“ee™  ferings from the Dutch governor, by the infti- 


gation and example of the New England perfe- — 
cutors. But the Dutch governor after fome time _ 


relented, excufed their imprifoning and banifhing, 
as being fhort of the cruclty of the Quakers own 
J.Bound.. countrymen in New England: And John Bound 
having becn treated very hardly by him, im- 
prifoned in a cold dungeon, almoft famithed 


there, and banifhed to Holland, where the ftates © 


giving him his liberty he returned home again; 


and fome time after the governor meeting him » 


in the f{treet, feemed afhamed of what he had 
done, and told him He was glad to fee him fafe 
home again ; adding, he hoped he /hould never do fa 
any more to any of bis friends: A token of re- 
pentance, aud of an ingenuous difpofition, fuch 
as few, if any, of the New England periecutors 
ever dilcovered. 

F-xcept alfo the province of Maryland, where 
in or pabout the year 1658 feveral of the inha- 
bitants, being convinced of the principles of the 
people called Quakers, were brought under fuf- 
fering, but in little degree of comparifon ye

to this light, alfo univerfal. They did not con- 
fine their labours and travels, in this early day, 
to the Britith dominions folely ; but from a con- 
vincing evidence of a divine impulfe upon their 


fpirits, and a neceflity of obedience thereunto, 


they were animated to travel, even as with their 
lives in their hands, into different ftates of the 
continent of Europe, and even into Afia, to bear 
teftimony to the truth, in the face of its greateft 
oppofers ; for being fupported by the inward con- 
fcioufnefs of being engaged in a good caule, 
they were borne up above the fear of man; and 
feeling the divine prefence accompanying them 


through the greate{t difliculties, fome of them ~ 
- were enabled chearfully to lay down their lives . 


in his fervice, who, they believed, had called 
them thereto; and others were preferved by 
fignal deliverances from imminent dangers, to 
which’ they were expofed. 

William Caton being at Dover, as before re- 
lated, went over to Calais, where his f{pirit was 
burdened in beholding the idolatry of their wor- 
fhip, but he could not eafe his fpirit by pointing 
out to them a better way, as he was not matter 
of the French language; and therefore was on 
the point of returning home without finding any 
opportunity of fervice there; yet afterwards it was 
ordered, that feveral of the principal inhabitants 
fought him out, and gave him a favourable hear- 
ing at a large houfe in the town, where a Scotch 
Lord interpreting for him, he cleared his con- 
fcience in declaring the doctrines of truth, and 


then departed without moleftation. 


To Holland 
' with John 
Stubbs, 


Upon his return to Dover he found his com- 
panion John Stubbs there, with whom he patled 
over to Holland, but they found Jittle favour-

time. ' | XVII. 
In the next year, 1656, William Ames, John —~~ 

Stubbs and William Caton went over to Hol-, 165° 

land again. At Amfterdam they met with fome eohes i 

Englifh people. who received the doétrine they %™«. 

preached, but the impreflion it made upon them 

was not lafting. William Caton travelled to 

Rotterdam, where for want of an interpreter 

that underftood Englifh, he was obliged to de- 

liver himfelf in Latin. Here he was much 

troubled in meeting with fome'wild and unruly 

perfons, who having been partly convinced by 

William Ames, went under the denomination of 

Quakers, but ran out in fuch whimfical imagi- 

Nations and unmeaning extravagancies in their 

expreflions, writings and condudt, that the ma- 

giftrates thought them not unfit objets for im- 

prifonment in Bedlam. ‘The ringleader of thefe 

people was one Haac Furnier, a paffionate, capri- 

cious man, placing holinefs in abfurd condua, 

and incedent incivility of language, with whom 

the genuine Quakers could have no unity, al- 

though he had tranflated feveral of their writings ° 

into the Dutch language, and thereby might 

feem to lay claim to the name. At laft he turn- 

ed Papift, and fell into a diffolute, debauched 

life. ; r 

From Rotterdam William Caton returned to w caton 

Amfterdam, but met with little more fatisfaction at Amfter- 

. : . ar dam meets 
there.. I’or there were feveral profetlors, who with litle 
were ready to approve the doctrine of the Qua- fatistaction. | 
kers, but being airy notionifts, were more intent 
in comprehending it in theory, than reducing 
it to practice, too wife for inftruction, and too full 
of their own wifdom and fpeculations to receive .

This cauled a great flir in the congregation, XVI. 
whereupon Birkhead, inftead of being further ~~~ 
heard, was apprehended and detained in cuftody. 1657. 
On the 1gth 1"°. 1657, the following charge was 
exhibited againft him. 

“ The bailiff of the city of Middleburgh Accufation 

‘¢ demandeth, according to his office, againft *@™")"" 
* Chriftopher Birkhead. 

 Wuereas the faid Chriftopher Birkhead 
“* is a maker of uproars, feditions, and a blaf- 
“‘ phemer againft the fervants, minifters .or 
“¢ preachers of the reformed churches, 
~ Therefore it is demanded, that the enfuing 
© punifhments be inflicted on him; firft, that he 
** be brought before the Stadthoufe, and there 
“¢ be put upon a {caffold and whipped with rods, 
“and burned with the mark of this city of 
© Middleburgh, and for fome years to be put 
** in the Rafp-houfe, and there to rafp and 
“¢ work, the time left to the difcretion of the 
a Lords, and afterwards to be banifhed out of 
“ the jurifdiction of thefe lands.”’ 

Lregret that occafions occur fo Faceeanaat in Remark.

416 HISTORY or rue 


CHAP. fociety of men under whatever denomination: 
XVII. they may be diftinguifhed. My refleCtions are 
“Y™ not pointed fo much at any body of men, as at 
1657- things difgraceful to every body of men. Not 
at any profeilion of religion, but at things in. 
ontiftent with religion and morality ; cruelty, ma- 
lice, injuftice and revenge, being properties as 
oppofite to chriitianity, as darknefs to light. 

It is evident that the punifhments demanded 
again{t this man are quite difproportionate to any 
juft offence he had given, by fimply reminding 
an auditory of the apoftolical order eflablithed 
in the worfhip of the primitive church, as an 
introduction to what he thought it his duty to 
declare unto them. ‘The charge and the requifition 
of punifhment bear the plain marks of paffion, 
injuftice and virulence, putting an offender, in 
fo {mall an inftance, on a level with the bafeft 

criminals, and incenfing the magiftrates to in- 
flict on an honeft man, for an action fimply reli- 
gious, the fevereft and moft difgraceful punifh- 
ments the malice of his perfecutors could con- 
trive. 
chr. Birk The prifoner put in his defence, in reply to 
head putsin the charges exhibited againft him; wherein he 
~ ‘denies and coniutes them all: that he made no 
uproar or fedition, fuch a thing being the far- 
theft from his difpofition, thoughts or intention, 
That he was no more a maker of uproars than 
Paul and Silas at Thyatira (Aéts xvi, 19.) Or 
than Paul was at Ephefius, when no fmall ftir 
arofe about that way (Adts ix, 23, &c.) That 
if any uproar was made, juftice pointed out for 
punifhment thofe who made it, who were the 
rude multitude, that gave him much _perfonal 
abufe, and caft him into prifon, when he neither 


did. or thought evil againft them. As to the 
charge

charge of his being a * blafphemer againft thec H a Pp, 
fervants, minifters or preachers of the reformed XVII- 
churches, he anfwered, ‘* The fervants of the ~V~ 
** church reformed by Chrift are my brethren, 16575 
‘* and the minifters and preachers thereof I ho- 

** nour in the Lord, but if any profefs to be re- 

** formed and live in iniquity, fuch I difown.”’ 

Next, in regard to the required punifhments of 
whipping and branding, he aflerted himfelf no 
beggar nor infamous perfon, having afked for 
nothing but what he paid for; and had brought 
a fufficiency from home to bear his charges thi- 
ther again, if not reftrained by them too long 
in a foreign land. 

And as to the third punifhment, of being com- 
mitted to the Rafp-houfe, he fignified, he was 
not an idle perfon who had need to be forced to 
work, but was a man diligent in his outward 
employments to maintain his family, of which he 
could produce many witnefles, if he might have 
permiflion to write home: and in this punifh- 
ment that his fuffering would not be fingle, but 
that of his wife and children would be involved 
in it. ; 

His defence prevented the inflicting of the 
more ignominious parts of the demanded punith- 
ments; but the magiftrates gratified his adver- 
faries fo far as to fentence hith to be put in the 
Rafp-houfe for two years, and then be banifhed, 
and pay all the charge. Accordingly he was put,,.,. .,. 
into the Rafp-houfe, and continued there two demned to 
years, fuffering much hardfhip. And after the hl 
expiration of the time, hé was ftill detained un- two years.

Franceand Into France, and zealoufly teftifying againtt 
es Pre popery and worfhipping of images, was appre- 
hended and caft into prifon, and there ended 
his days. : : 
G.Robinfon ¢ In this year alfo George Robinfon, a young 
goes to J man of London, found himfelf conftrained, 
mects wih from an internal conviction of duty, to travel 
apeeh ef to Jerufalem, to bear teftimony againft the ido- 
latry of pilgrimages. Accordingly he embarked 
for Leghorn, and from thence took fhipping for 
St. John D’acra, fo called, formerly Ptolemais 
in Afia, and from thence continued his courfe 
to Joppa, and thence to Ramoth; but. the 
friars at Jerufalem having received intelligence 
of his approach, and that his teftimony ftruck 
at the fuperitition, whereby,they were fupported, 
procured him here to be intercepted and con- 
fined. After about twenty-four hours impri- 
fonment, an ancient ‘Turk of reputation took 
him to his houfe, and entertained him with 
much civility feveral days; at length an Irifh 
friar came from Jerufalem, and informed him 
that he was fent by his fraternity there to pro- 
pofe to him three queftions, viz. 


1. Whether he would promife, when he

by the faid friar, who had brought with him a 
guard of horfe and foot for that purpofe, taken 
forcibly away, carried back to Joppa, and there 
embarked in a veflel, which landed him again 
at St. John D’acra; here he was hofpitably en-

affiftance, being {till under an apprehenfion of 
duty to profecute his journey, he got an oppor- 
tunity to return to Joppa, and from thence 
travelled on foot to Ramoth. On the road he 
fell into the hands of three robbers, ywHo plun-

behaviour moving them to compaflion, or the 
ordering of Divine Providence, they returned 
him what they had taken from him, and con.

manner. Upon his arrival at Ramoth he was

rived, he found things had taken an unexpeétedc H A P, 
turn in his favour; for.fome of the Turks XVU. 
having informed the Bafha of the malice of the —W~~ 
friars again{t the man, he made-them pay a 1657+ 
confiderable fine, and obliged them to convey, 
him fafely to Jerufalem.. Being come thither, 
he was,, by the appointment of the friars, 
brought into their convent. 
Here the friars ufed every artifice to prevail 
with him to conform to the fuperftitious cuf- 
toms of the pilgrims of their communion, in 
yifiting the holy places, (as they termed them) 
offering, in that cafe, to relinquifh their ufual 
demands, and that whereas others paid great 
fums of money to fee them, he fhould fee them for 
‘nothing 3 but believing his miffion as to them 
was to bear teftimony againft the fuperftitious 
veneration for thofe places, propagated and up- 
held by them for filthy lucre, he fteadfaftly re- 
fifted all their folicitations and flattering per- 
fuafions, alledged, that in viftting thofe places ‘in 
their manner he fhould fin again? God: hat 
they under a pretence of doing fervice to God, in 
wifiting thofe places where the holy men of God 
dwelt, did oppofe that way, and refift that life, 
which the holy men of God- walked and lived in; 
upon which one of the friars faid, “* What do 
‘© you preach to us for?” To which he an- ° 
_ f{wered, That he would have them turn from 
thofe evil practices, elfe the wrath of the Almighty 
would be kindled again them. This doctrine 
being highly ungrateful they infifted upon his 
paying five and twenty dollars, under pretence 
that the Turks muft be paid, whether he would 
vifit the ufual places or not, but if he would 
yifit them they would pay for him; but he

confent of the other two eftates of the nation,¢ 1 «4 p. 
and after an exile of twelve years, in which he |. 
had fuffered many flights and diftreffes; after ~~~ 
fundry ineffetual efforts of his partifans to 1° 
reftore him by the fword, through the ordering 
hand of Divine Providence, he was at lafl peace- 
ably reftored without bloodfhed. 
The fociety of thofe called Quakers, at leaft, 
(as appears by their writings)in general, looked 
upon the refloration of the king as a fignal 
inftance of the interpofition of Divine Providence 
in reftoring peace and order to the diftract- 
ed nation, of which they were not wanting 
repeatedly to remind both the king and people : 
And if thefe had looked upon it in the fame 
light’ with becoming gratitude and thankfulnefs, 
they might have been preferved in a greater 
propriety of conduct; but this revolution in the 
government was productive of a {candalous alter- 
-ation in the manners of the age. his king, and 
many of his courtiers, having in their exile, 
through a-feafon of fucceflive indolence, and 
from their averfion to the precife formality of 
the authors of their humiliation, contracted 
habits of voluptuoufnefs, fenfuality and libertin-— 
ifm in fentiment and morals; by their example, 
and the propenfity of human nature, more fa- 
gacious to deicry error than to inveftigate truth, 
to tranfgrefs the limits of rectitude and to run 
from one extreme to another; the nation, in 
too general a way, became very corrupt and 
licentious in their way of thinking and conduct. 
Becaue the late rulers appeared to have difguiied 
pernicious defigns under a matk of religion, it 
became fafhionable to ridicule every appearance 
of religion and of fobriety as mere hypocrily ;

4jo HISTORY of rue 


¢ Ha P. and in this averfion to the appearance, the reality 
1. was loft. The temper of the age was truly 
“~~ irreligious, and debauchery, riot and intempe- 
1660. rance, to a great degree, took place’ of the ap- 
parent decorum and regard to fobriety in the 
manners of the preceding age *. 


In 


* Neale gives the following defcription of the temper of 
the people under this and the preceding governments : 


«« The drefs and converfation of the people was fober and . 
virtuous, and their manner of living remarkably frugal: 
‘¢ ‘There was hardly a fingle bankruptcy to be heard. of in a 
“« year, and in fuch a cafe the bankrupt had a mark of 
« infamy upon him, that he could never wipe off. Drunken- | 
nefs, fornication, profane {wearing, and every kind of 
“¢ debauchery were juftly deemed infamous, and univerfally 
«¢ difcountenanced. ‘The clergy were laborious to excefs in 
** preaching and praying, in catechifing youth, and vifiting 
** their parifhes. The magiftrates did their duty in fup- 
‘* prefling all kinds of games, {tage plays and abufes in public 
“ houfes, ‘There was not a play acted on any theatre in 
“ England for almott twenty years. 
«© But when the legal conftitution was reftored, there 
“© returned with it a torrent of debauchery and wickednefs. 
«6 The times which followed the reltoration were the reverfe 
« of thofe that preceded it; for the laws which had been 
** enadedl again{t vice for the laft twenty years being declared 
© null, and the magiftrates changed, men fet no bounds to 
‘6 their licentioufnefs. There were two play-houfes erected 
_ & in the neighbourhood of the court. Women adtreffes were 
6¢ introduced into the theatres, which had not been known 
“till that time; the molt lewd and obfcene plays were 
é brought on the ftage, and the more obfcene the better was 
“ the king pleafed, who graced evcry new play with his royal 
* prefence. Nothing was to be feen at court but fealting, hard 
«drinking, revelling and amorous intrigacs, which engen- 
«© dered the moft enormous vices. Tom court the contagion 
& fpréad like wild fire among the people, infomuch that men 
“ threw-off the very profcilion of virtue and piety.” Neale’s 
hiftory of the Puritans, vol. ii, p. 564, 555-

In this interval of general joy and feflivityc Hap, 
the e Quakers (fo called) enjoyed a good degree}. 
“of quiet and refpite from the grievous fuffer- —W~4 
ings to which they had been for many years 1660. 
expofed under .the preceding governments ; 
their meetings in London and moft other parts 
were large, and held without moleftation du- 
ring the firft fix months after the King’s refto- 
ration. ‘Cruelty was not reckoned arnongtt the 
vices to which this monarch was addicted, the 
eafinefs of his temper inclining to lenity, he 
appeared at this time well difpofed to aa& up 
to his profeffions in his declaration from Breda. 

At the interceffion of Margaret Vell and others 

he releafed about feven hundred of this people, Friends re- 
who had been imprifoned under the govern- artes ee 
ment of Oliver and Richard Cromwell, and an 

order was'drawn up for permitting them the 

free exercife of their worfhip; but by fome in 
authority, of lefs placable difpofitions, who 
difapproved of any toleration, as being reten- 

tive of the injuries they conceived themlelves to 

have fuflered from the diflenters during their, 

rule, and defirous of an opportunity to retali- 

ate: the ratification and ifluing of this order 

was obftructed, till the infurrection of the fifth- 
monarchy-men furnifhed them the opportunity 

they wanted, and gave them a pretext to com- 

mence the oppreflive mealiyes which they had 

in contemplation. 

Yet in fome parts they were greatly molefted 
and abufed in their religious mectings during 
this interval. Some of the inferior magiltrates 
of the former clafs, who {till retained their 
places, and their inimical difpofitions towards 
this beady of people, continued to be vexatious.

HISTORY of rue 


to them ; in particular, Henry Porter, mayor 
of Lancaiter,’a weak temporizing man, who 
had been a zealous partiian of the republicans, 
and very active again{t the King’s intereft, in 
order, it is like, to make an atonement for his 
pait mifdemeanours, and to ingratiate himfelf 
with the prcfent powers, from a pretended zeal 
for the King, committed George Fox to prifon, 
very unjultly and illegally. In the courfe of 
his travels he came to Skipton to a general 
mecting, which had been ideveral years efta- 
blifhed there, (betore the general eltablifhment 
of meetings of difcipline) for the charitable 


purpoie cf aflifting and making provifion for “ 


the poor amongit them; for many, as we have 
feen, were reduced to poverty by exorbitant 
fines, fevere diftrefles and impritonments, fo 
that numbers were fpoiled of the whole of their 
property through the malice of unreafonable 
men. It had -frequently happened that juttices 
and military officers coming to break up this 
meeting, when they faw their books, and ac- 
counts of their collections and difburfements, 


and the care that was taken that one county. 


fhould help another, 2s circumf{tances might 
require, inftead of executing their purpofe, 
have been obliged to cominend their care, and 
leave them undifturbed in’ the exercife of the 
laudable object of their meeting. The poor of 
other focieties frequently gathering in crouds 
upon thefe occafions partook of their liberality, 
it being their cuftom, after the meeting was 
over, to fend to the bakers for bread, and dif- 
tribute a loaf to each, how many foever they 
were 3 yet thefe are the men on whom the con- 


temptuous epithet of fanatick was fo freely:

~ was made out, the jailer fent for, and com- 
manded to put hit in the dark houfe ; and 
though bail was offered for his appearance, ‘it 
was refufed, and he committed clofe prifoner to 
Lancafter caftle, where he was treated. with 
great incivility and rudenefs, being often. de- 
barred of provifions, but as he could get them 
under the door. He then defired two of his 
friends to apply to the jailer for a copy of the 
Acopy of tmhittimus, who told: them, He could not give a 
peed copy of it, for another had been fined: for a fimi- 
for and re- far offence ; but he gave them liberty to read it 
his frends OVET, and according to the beft of their: re- 
are permit- éolleétion, the’ charges advanced againft -him 
it. were, that he was a perfon generally fulpetted 
to be a common difiurber of the peace of the nas 


tion; an enemy to the King, and a chief upholder % 


of the Quakers fect: That he, together’ with i 
others of his fanatick opinion, have of late endea- .% 
voured to raife infurrections in thefe parts of- the

queft he readily complied with, and gave com- 
mand to his fecretary to fend down an order for 
his removal accordingly ; upon their application 
to the fecretary, he informed them that accord- 

-ing to law he muft be brought up by habeas 
corpus before the judges ; and writ to the judge , 
of the King’s-bench, that it was the King’s plea- 
fure, that George Fox fhould be removed to Lon-

“@ in particular was greatly terrified, under the ap-. ‘6s, 
prehenfion that George would avail himfelf by ne 
law of the advantage, which the temerity and 
illegality of his injurious treatment had given, to 
the utter ruin of himfelfand family: and George 
¥ox did not want incitement, even from fome — 
in authority, to make him and the reft examples : 
but he, efteeming it his duty as a chriftian to 
forgive injuries, meekly replied, ‘ J /hall leave

It was jult at this time that feveral of the late 
King’s judges were brought to their trials, con-

pafled a multitude of people gathered at Charing- 
crofs, to fee the burning of the bowels of fome of | 
them, who had been hanged, drawn and quarter- 
ed purfuant to their fentence ; and when he went 
next morning to furrender himfelf to Sir Thomas 
Mallet, he found him preparing to go to the 
court, to fit upon the trial of others of them. 

Amongtt the reft that fuffered on this occafion, 
was Col. Francis Hacker, who fix years before 
had George Fox taken prifoner, and fent up in 
cuftody to Oliver Cromwell, as hath been related 
in its courfe. In this reverfe of his fortune, he 
had caufe to refle&t upon George’s parting ex- 
preflions, ** When the day of his mifery and 
‘© trial fhould come upon him, then to remem-

monarch, iffued forth from their meeting place, 
with fifty or fixty followers completely armed, 
with a refolution to fubvert ‘the prefent govern- 
ment, and to eftablith their imaginary kingdom 
in the place thereof. At firft every one fled be- 
fore them ;. they went triumphantly from {treet 


.to ftreet, every where proclaiming King ‘Jefus. 


At length the magiftrates having affembled the 
trained bands, made an attack upon them ; after 
defending themfelves, and flaying feveral of the 
affailants, they made a regular retreat to Cane- 
wood near Hampftead; from which being dif- 
lodged the next morning by a detachment of the 
guards, they returned again to the city, and took 
poffeflion of an houfe, in which they defended 
themfelves again{t a body of troops till the ma- 
jor part were killed. ‘The few furvivors being 
taken prifoners, were tried, condemned and exe- 
cuted; Venner andone of his officers, before 
their meeting-houfe door in Coleman-ftreet, and 


' nine others in different parts of the city. 


This wild attempt of a very few deluded indi- 
viduals furnifhed the courtiers and bifhops, now 
returned into power, the pretext they wanted, 


to gratify their thirft of vengeance, and let their | 
‘former oppreflors, with other diffenters, feel in 


their turn, the rigours of perfecution, and to 
evade the force of the probable charge of vio- 
lating the King’s declaration of indulgence to 
tender confciences, but a few months old; this 
infurreétion was made ahandle of, to throw a 
fufpicion of difloyalty upon all fe€taries, fo called ; 
and this fufpicion was by every effort kept alive 


‘by the ruling powers and their abetters during 


moft part of this reign; wherein juftice, mercy,

they palliated their fudden and open vio- 7”

cuting nonconformilts for their religious fcruples, 
but as-perfons dangerous to the ftate; but the 
cover was too flimfy not to be feem, through, 
they only waited for the firmer eftablifhment of

" During the time of the tumult, on the fecond 
of the 11™ an order of council was iffued againit 
the meetings of fectaries in great numbers, and

other peace officers were commanded to fearch for

‘to be bound over to the next feffions, 

‘Fhis proclamation appears to be drawn up with 
more art and fallacy than found judgment or gegeaion.

oe cajolements ofthe royalifts, they had but juft 
sah. before been conducive to eftablifhing: The in- 
dependents alfo are unnoticed, probably for fear, 

till they were humbled into a greater degree of 
imbecility of awakening the exertion of that 

. vigour, and thofe abilities, the effects whereof 

were yet fufficiently recent in the memory of the 

prefent adminiftration, to produce a cautioufnels 

in roufing them into ation again. The Anar 
baptifts and Quakers, as new or weaker fects, 

are treated with lefs ceremony, and without any 
occafion adminiftered by them, are ranked in 

one clafs with thefe wild difturbers of the publick 

peace, wherein Juftice, the charatteriftic virtue. 

of good government, was defignedly violated by 
involving the innocent with the guilty in one 
confufed mafs. We have too many inftances in 

hiftory to excite a perfuafion that men in power 


efteem the rules of morality, and regard to a. 


good confcience, obligatory only upon the infe- 
rior clafles of mankind; but tobe no tie upon 
them, when they ftand in the way of gratifying 
the impulfe of their ambition, revenge, or poli- 
tical projects. Through the various revolutions 
marked in the courfe of this hiftory, how few of 
the rulers appear to have borne the fword uni- 
formly, ‘‘ for a terror to evil-doers, and the praife 
“< of them that do well.”

1660: 


Perfecution 


* On the 31ff of the 11th; month (January) * Roger Mil- Berkthire. 
ton was called out of his bed by officers with a warrant, and 
kept, together with John Dudge and William Wyatt, under a 
guard all night, and conducted next day to Twyford, whence 
for refufing to take the oath of allegiance tendered by three juf- 
tices, they were committed to prifon ; where the cruel treatment 
they received ftrongly marks the virulent temper of the perfe- 
cutors at this time. ‘They were thruft into a dungeon among 
felons to the number of twenty-two, 4 place fo clofe, that’ the 
jailer acknowledged he thought it would breed an infetion 
among them: They would not be fuffered to walk in the yard 
for air, nor their friends to vifit them, nor bring them food 
and other neceffaries: Their ink, paper and working tools 
were taken from them they were made the fubjeét of the 
keeper’s derifion, who bringing fome of his companions to fee 
them, fcoffingly faid, There was not fuch another bed in Berk- 

ire. . 

- Few or no counties efeaped this general perfecution ; but 
in confequence'of the proclamation the Quakers (fo called) 
were everywhere taken up in crouds, violently haled by fol- 
diers or peace officers before the juftices, who generally ten- 
dered them the oath of allegiance, [which they knew tlhiey’ 
had a-religious fcruple again{t taking] and upon their confcien- 
tious refufal, committed them to prifon by fifty or fixty ata 
time. In Briftol near one hundred and ninety were impri- 
foned: Soldiers kept guard at the feveral prifons night and 
day, with orders: to admit nobody to them: Their fervants 
were denied accefs, what they brought was narrowly fearched, 
and themfelves rudely treated: In Lancafter were two hun- 
dred and feventy prifoners, in Weitmoreland one hundred and 
fixteen, in Weft Riding of Yorkfhire thé number committed 
to prifon was no lefs than two hundred and twenty-nine, for 
- tefufing to fwear; being taken, many of them, from their reli- 
gious meetings; fome on the high-ways, others from their 
os houfes,

Perfecution being thus carried on throughout 
the nation againf{t-a people who had adminiftered 
. no 


houfes and lawful employments; atid fome out of their beds. 
One hundred and twenty-fix in the North-Riding, in like man-+ 
ner and for the fame caufe; mottly for refufing to take the 
daths, and proportionably in other counties. 

Whence it is apparent, that this infurrection was made a 
handle to effe&t a preconcerted defign, for their fidelity ap- 
pears not to have been called ih queftion, but mot or all to be 
committed for their fcrupling to take an oath. And their 
treatment in prifon was generally as inhuman as their com- 
mitment was unju{t, as appears by the following copy of a 
Jetter from Leicelter jail, dated the 2oth of the 12th month 
(February); 1660. : 


“A copy of a letter from Leicefter jail, dated the zoth of

“ of the jailer to go and fee her, but he denied it ; it lying, 
* much upon the frierid to go and fee his wife in that condi-

‘ as well as other diflenters, thought it neceflary 
to clear themfelves of thefe groundlefs furmifes,

‘tions whatever, in order to prepare the way for 
application for redrefs of the various injuries they 
were unjuftly expofed to in their perfons, repu-"

Hubberthorn drew up a declaration of their ab-, 
horrence of plots and warring, in order to pre-

when for the fulfilling of the law, he faid,He that 


had no fword might fell his coat and buy one. 


And further, the Spirit of Chrift, by which we .

‘ * Of this we have a remarkable inftance in Thomas EII- 
wood’s narrative of his own hile. Meeting with Thomas 
Loe ‘at I, Penington’s, he propofed to him to appoint a 
meeting in the town where he dwelt. To this propofal Tho- 
mas Loe fignificd, “© He was not at his own difpofal, but 
“© defired Thomas Ellwood, if the thing lay with weight on 
« his mind, and he could get a convenient place for a meet- 
“¢ ing, to advife him thereof by letter to Oxford, and then 
« he might let him know how his freedom {tood.”” Thomas 
Ellwood accordingly having procured a fuitable place, writ 
account thereof to “Phomas Loe, his letter was intercepted, 
and brought to Lord Falkland, Lord Lieutenant of the county, 
who ordered the two deputy licutenapts neareft him to fend a 
a party of foldiers to fetch him in and examine him thereupon, 
Upon examination, their endeavours to wreft his letter to a 
criminal defign, affording no fufficient ground of punifhment, 
they tendered him the oath of allegiance, and on his refufal 
committed him prifoner to Oxford.

Ps O KR Y or THE 


which were thus revived, and diftorted to the 
unreafonable and ‘unjuft ‘punifhment of this fo- 
ciety at this period, and during this reign, rigo- 
rous in themfelves, and made more fo by the 
extreme feverity exercifed in the execution of 
them, were thefe which follow. 

‘Firft, The a& paffed in the thirty-fecond year of 
Henry VUI. againft the fubtraction of tithes [as 
of divine right due to God and holy church] 
whereby juttices of peace were obliged to com- 
mit the contumacious defendant to prifon, till he 
fhould find fufficient furety to give due obedi- 
ence to the peat decrees « or fentence of the 
ecclefiaftical court. 


Although this at be a general one, pointed at no 
particular fociety, and through the attachment of 
the clerical order to their fecular interefts and 
power, through all revolutions of g government pre- 
vented from growing obfolete: yet how grievouily 
great numbers of this fociety have futlered there- 

by, hath been fhewn in numerous inftances, and. 
may in more hereafter. 

For belieying this law, in its ground and tendency 
to be in direét contradiction to a fuperior law, the 
command of Chrift Jefus himfelf, Freely ye have 
« received, freely give ;” that the practice of the 
-Apoltles and the primitive church for three fuccef- 


five centuries was a proof that tithes were no gofpel | 


maintenance, but abolifhed with the Jewifh law 


to which they belonged ; that i in the dark ages of 


prieftly dominion, laick fuperftition and iynplicit 
faith, they were gradually introduced, and efta- 
blifhed in the manner they are now auplicd, b 
the avaricc, fraud and influence of felfifh, and 
popith ecclefiafticks; on thefe confiderations, as 
, chriftians, as proteftants and reformers, they be- 
lieved themfelves under an obligation of confcience 

' neither to pay them, nor actively comply with the 
law; but to bear open al | againtt the im- 
pofition

‘Fourth, And as if thefe laws were not fevereC HA P. 
- enough, in the 35th year of the faid reign, an 2 
act was made to oblige offenders in the like j¢¢5, 
cafe to abjure the realm on pain of death. 


This law, made it may be fuppofed, chiefly againft 
papifts, was endeavoured in fome initances to be 
enforced againft the Quakers; but as it was well 
known they could not {wear at all, and therefore 
that they would not abjure the realm; and of 
confequence profecutions by this law muft termi- 
nate in their death, which might occafion an alarm 
in the nation, and a deteftation of fuch feverity, 
profecutions under this law were difcouraged, 
even by judges otherwife fevere enough againit 
Pein pia yet we fhall find, on more occafions 
than the one following, endeavours were ufed by 
fome inveterate {pirits to bring them under the 
lafh of this law. 

William Alexander of Needham in: Suffolk, being 

_ with feveral others indicted upon this a&t, was 
called upon to plead, guilty or not guilty; but — 
not being hafty to anfwer, the judge faid, why 
don’t you plead? Alexander faid, what wouldit 
thou advife us to plead? Af you afk my advice, 
faid the judge, you fhall have it, and Pll advife 
you to plead not guilty. ° The prifoners pleading 
accordingly, the judge turning to the profecutors, 
informed them, that now they muft prove thefe 
men, neither to have been at their own parifh 
church, nor any other church or chapel, elfe they 
were not within this aét, which is a fanguinary law. 
Alexander and the reft were accordingly difcharg- 
ed. 


Fifth, The a& made in the beginning of Queen 
Elizabeth’s reign for adminiftring the oath of fu- — ; 
premacy, and that of the third of James (after : 
the difcovery of the gun-powder plot) enjoining 
the taking cht oath of allegiance, afterwards dif-

HISTORY ‘of rue 


Now albeit this laft was ena¢ted particularly as 4 


fecurity again{t the dangerous machinations of the. 


papilts, yet in this reign thefe met with fhelter ; 
aud protection, and the edge of this law was, 
turned agaitift the Quakers very deceitfully and 
unjuftly; for as it was now generally known, that 
they had a confcientious feruple againft taking any 
cath, apprehending the precept of Chrift, /wear 
not at all, a politive obligatory command, which 
they ought not in any cafe to trantgrefs, and that 
no law or power upon earth could juitify them in 
the breach of a divine law: although they were 
willing to acknowledge their allegiance by any 


plain declaration, fhort of an oath; yet on ace . 


count of this confcientious fcruple, a preconcert- 
ed and uinreafonable advantage was ‘taken of this 
act. But through divine fupport in all their 
alllictions, they were actuated by an invincible 
conftancy, and preferved fteadfaft in their obedi- 
_ence and their faith, through bonds, premunires, 
banifhments, and even death itfelf, 


In the late general imprifonment in puirfuance 
of the proclamation publifhed on the rifing of 
the fifth monarchy men, when the innocence of 
this fociety appeared fo clearly, that there re- 
mained no fhadow of reafon to detain them on 
that account, it was the ufual method with the 


magiftrates to tender them the oath of allegiance, ' 


which they knew they would not take, that-by their 
refufal they might get a more plaufible pretext to 
commit and detain them in prifon. On this account 

many hundreds were imprifoned, from the time 
of the infurre¢tion till they were liberated by the 
king’s declaration aforementioned ; but it was” 
not on this occafion only, they futfered by this 


at, but it continued, when other means failed

_ a handle to enfnare and be vexatious to them, 
through the greateft part of this reign, as may 
more fully appear in the procefs of this work: 


But to recite all the hardfhips and fufferings they | 


_ were expofed to on this fingle fcruple were to 
write a large volume, and therefore I can only 
curforily take notice of the moft remarkable 
cafes as they arife: for the prefent, as it may be 
apprehended, that in troublefome times it is 


but reafonable for the government to require. 


this fecurjty from the fubject, the following cafe 
will fhew that they were not backward to de- 
monitrate their allegiance, as far as they could 
go, without difobeying the command of Chrift, 
as they underftood it, which joined to their 
peaceable and unrefifting demeanour, charge- 
able with no difaffection, might fafely have been 
accepted, were the rulers of that time as in- 
dulgent to tendernefs of conf{cience, as they were 
bent upon fingling out the members of this fo- 
ciety to tender the oath to, for the pure purpofe 


of involving them in diftrefs by fubjecting them — 


to the penalties enacted by this law. 

At the aflizes of Bedford on the 13th of the 
month called March,1660-1, * two and fifty per- 
fons, then in prifon for refufing the oath of 
allegiance, were brought before judge Wind- 
ham, who ordered the ftatutes of 35 Elizabeth 
and 7 James, to be read; telling the prifoners, 
that many of them being but young, might proba- 
bly be ignorant of the penalties they were liable to 
for refufing the oath. One of them, in the name 
of the reft, anfwered, That the penalties had been 


fully confidered by them: That they thought it

lence out of their beds, though innocent of the 


breach of any law. ‘The judge anfwered, jf they a

medy at law, but being now before him, he re 
quired them to take the oath, adding, that an oath 
was a. part of God’s worfhip, and that the fcrip-

fwear. : 

‘Lhe prifoners fpeaking in their own defence

* The convention parliament, after having fixed 


the king on the throne, and been pretty liberal 
in their grants, were diflolved, probably becaufe 
the number of Prefbyterians therein were ex- 
pected to be a bar in the way of executing the 
projected meafures; And writs were iffued for a

CHAP, his power out of his hands; whereas in the 
1661. projects carrying on at this time, the plaineft 


rules of morality were broken through without 
any neceflity, by the prefent rulers, for the mere 
purpofe of exerting power over antagonifts, who 
had, as themfelves now thought, with imprudent 
precipitation, been principally inftrumental to 
put the power into their hands, to gratify a 
vindictive {pirit, and difplay a wanton triumph 
in their fall, by comprehending them and other 
diffenters, even thofe, who having been always of 
inoffenfive and pacifick principles and demea- 
nour, whom they feared not, and knew they 
had no reafon to fear, under one common de- 
{cription of non-conformifts, and then point- 
ing out thefe non-conformifts as objects of fuf- 
picion, deteftation and abufe. © It is alledged the 
king did not voluntarily concur with thefe vio- 
lent meafures; but that the zeal of Clarendon 
and the church party among the commons, fe- 
conded by the intrigues of the catholicks * ex- 
torted his confent. But by whomfoever thefe 
arbitrary meafures were originally concerted, 
Clarendon, or the bifhops; papifts, or protef- 
tants; the breach of faith, in the manifeft vio- 
lation of the royal promife, was too flagrant for 
palliatives to excufe or vindicate; fo that even 
the writers on the fide of the prerogative and 

epifcopacy 

c Figen: 

* The Catholicks, though they had little intereft in the 
nation, were a confiderable party at court. Thefe religi- 
onifts dreaded an entire union among the proteftants. Were 
they the fole non-conformifts in the nation, the fevere ex- 
ecution of the penal laws upon their fect, feemed an infal- 
lible confequence ; and they ufed all their influence againtt 
the Prefbyterians. The Earl of Briftol who had changed 
his religion in his exile, was regarded as the head of this 
party. Hume.

be an evafion, and breach of the king’s decla- , eh ; 

ration from Breda. 166%; 
In order to promote their defigns, to ani- Rumours of 

mate the people and parliament againft thefe de-Pos', 

- voted non-conformifts, the miniftry filled the for perfe- 

. city with rumours of plots and confpiracies “Ms ""* 

againft the king and government, contriving by 

them. Clarendon in a conference between the 

two houfes, pofitively afferted that a confpi- 

racy had been formed to interrupt the peace of 

the nation, and though it had been difconcerted 

in the city, it was ftill carrying on jn the coun- 

ties. Writers generally agree that there was lit- 

tle or no foundation for thefe reports; but that 

they were the mere invention of the reporters, 

to facilitate the paffing of the fevere laws that 

were coming upon the carpet. 
After this prelude, the parliament proceeded Sorporstis 

to pafs that called. the corporation-act, whereby for unifor- 

all non-conformifts were excluded from offices ™Y- 

of truft and magiftracies ; and fome time after 

the at of uniformity, which deprived all the 

Prefbyterian and other non-conforming minif- 

ters of their benefices, and re-inftated the epif- 

copaljans in the full poffeflian of the power, and 

the emoluments of the priefthood. ‘Thefe aéts 

did not in themfelves materially affect the Qua- 

kers, who afpired to no places of hanour or 

profit, who teftified againft preaching for hire, 

and fought for no more than a toleration and 

prote@tion in their religious and civil rights, ta 

lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godlinefs 

and honefty; yet the corporation act in its 

confequences did affect them, by filling the city 


and cquntry with perfecuting magiltrates.

HISTORY OF THE 


CHAP. ftop to the further effufion of innocent blood, 


UP eee i. 


Sufferings 
of William 
Leddra. 


He is 
brought to 
his trial. 


and was fuccefsful in his application. This 
feems therefore a proper place to refume our 
narrative of the further fufferings under the 
independent government there, which was even 
furpafling in virulence and cruelty, all. the ty- 


_tannical proceedings on this fide, towards this 


perfecuted people; while their brethren here 
were in fome meafure their companions in 
affliction. . 

William Leddra, of Barbadoes, was the fourth 
and laft, who fealed his teftimony with his blood 
under their hands. After much hardfhip, by 
imprifonment and many cruel ftripes, he had 
been banifhed from Bofton on pain of death. Re- 
turning foon after to vifit his friends in prifon 
there, he was apprehended, and kept night and 
day in an open jail, chained to a log of wood, 
during an extreme cold winter, exceeding in in- 
clemency our fevereft feafons in England. This 
poor man feems to have been perfecuted with 
peculiar inveteracy of malice. In his former 
imprifonment, he was kept in a prifon fo clofe, 
without fuftenance, that it bore the appearance 


of a defign to fuffocate or famifh him, as the 


latter did of ftarving him through the incle- 
mency of the weather: but furviving all thefe 
hardfhips, he was brought before the court of 
afiftants the gth of the firft month of this year 
with his chain and log at his heels: being fet 
to the bar he was told, that faving returned 
from banifbment, he had incurred the penalty of 
death by the law. Upon which he afked, why 
qwhat evil have I done? ‘Yo this the court anfwer- 
ed, he had owned thofe that were put to death, 
had refufed to put off his bat in court, si Said

Tuer and Tuov. To which William aptly cH Ap, 
replied, then you put me to death for fpeaking ™ 
Englifh,* and for not putting off my clothes. Major 
general Dennifon abfurdly remarked, a man 
might {peak treafon in Englifb. William afked, 
If it was treafon to fay THEE and Tuou to a fingle 
perfon? Next Simon Broadftreet, a violent per- 
fecutor, afked him, if be would go to England? 
To whom William replied, I have no bujfine/s 
there. ‘Then faid Broadftreet, you /hall go that 
way, pointing to the gallows. ‘Lhe prifoner 
then appealed to England in the following terms, 
Will you put me to death for breathing the air in Heappeals 
your jurifdidtion? What have you againf? me?’ © 
I appeal to the laws of England for my trial, if by 

them I am found guilty, I refufe not to die. The ys appeat 
court, as ufual, over-ruled his appeal, and at- overruled. 
tempted to perfuade him to a recantation, and a 
conformity to the religion prefcribed by their 

laws. But the concern of his mind being to 

teftify againft that religion, which without juttice, 

mercy or proper authority (for they were not 
authorized by charter to make any laws incon- 

fiftent with thofe of England, and for their tranf- 
greflion of their power, loft their charter fome. 

time after) could produce laws to punifh other 

men with rancour, and put them to death for 

theirs, he confiftently and boldly replied, What / 

join with fuch murderers as you are ; then let every 

man that meets me fay, lo! this is the man that 

hath forfaken the God of his falvation. 

The court then pafled fentence of death upon sentenced 
him, and appointed the 14th of the fame month °°“ 
for his execution.. | 

That the fpirit in which he died, was very 
different from the reprefentation of C. Mather,

before recited, the following extract from a letter 
written the day before his death is a convincing 
proof. 


To the Socirty of the Jittle flock of Curist, 
grace and peace be multiplied. 


** Molt dear and inwardly beloved friends, 

“ The fweet influences of the morning ftar, 
like a flood diftilling into my innocent habi- 
ae tation, hath fo filled me with the joy of the 
*¢ Lord in the beauty of holinefs, that my {pirit 
is as if it did not inhabit a tabernacle of clay ; 
but is wholly fwallowed up in the bofom of 
** eternity, from whence it had its being. 

*¢ ‘What can the wrath and {pirit of man that 
lufteth to envy, aggravated by the heat and 
<< ftrength of the king of the locufts, which 
** came out of the pit, do to one, that is ga- 
thered under the healing wings of the prince 
of peace? under whofe armour of light they 
«¢ fhall be able to ftand in the day of trial, hav- 
“ ing on the brea(t-plate of righteoufnefs, and 
*¢ the fword of the {pirit, which is their weapon 
“* of war again{t fpiritual wickednefs, and the 
** rulers of the darknefs of this world, within 
*¢ and without.—I have ftood ftill in that watch, 
<¢ which the mafter, without whom I could do 
nothing, did at his coming reward with the 
** fulnefs of his love, wherein my heart did re- 
“¢ joice, that | might in the love and life of God 
«© {peak a few words to you, which may be a 
*¢ favour of life to your life, and a teftimony in 
s* you of my innocent death, &c.

real regard to a fincere religious difpofition un- 

der every proteilion, yet I fecl fomething exceed- 

ing difgufling, and even fhocking, at cloaking 
cruelty and injuftice under the matk of fanétity,

condu€t which violates the plaineft laws of hu- 
manity and morality. ‘The people called Quakers 

were reputed and reprefented by thefe perfecu-

fecuting and flaying our fellow-creatures.

for the fame teflimony, being called, he came 
forth undifmayed, and was immediately furround-

Thefe expreflions awakened the tender feelings 
and commiferation of many of the fpectators, 
which being obferved by one Allen, a prieft 
then prefent, in order to prevent the effects of 
fuch impreffions, he cried out, ‘‘ People, I would 
** not have you think it ftrange to fee a man fo 


. * willing to die, for it is no new thing; and 


«© you may read how the Apo/tle faith, that fome 
‘* fhall be given up to ftrong delufions, and even 


' “ dare to die for it; though the text faith no 


fuch thing ; but the blind zeal of the man hur, 
ried him into a perverfion of the fcripture, that 
he might harden the people’s hearts againft the 
innocent ; who ftanding as a man gathered up 
to God, and in peace with him, as the execu- 
tioner was putting the halter about his neck, 
meekly faid, I commend my righteous caufe to 
thee, O God! and as the ladder was turning, he 
cried out, Lord Fefus, receive my fpirit. Being 
dead, when the executioner cut him down, four 
of his friends, Edward Wharton, Robert Har- 
per, John Chamberlain, and Philip Verrin, caught 
his body in their arms, and laid it on the ground, 
*till the executioner had ftript his clothes: off, 
who, when he had done it, faid he was a comely 
man, and that Mary Dyer was a comely woman, 
and the others well ordered men according to 
their years. ° His body being ftripped, his faid 
friends were fuffered to put it into a coffin, and 


bury it where they thought meet. A piece of 


humanity owing not to the inclinations of the 
perfecutors, but ta the outcry of the people 
againft the barbarity ufed to the dead bodies of 
the two men who were put to death before,

At the fame court by which William Leddra 
was condemned to death, Edward Wharton, who 
had been imprifoned near a year, was brought 
before their tribunal, where, when he appeared, 
he very reafonably demanded the caufe wherefore 
he was forced from his habitation, while he was 
honeftly following his lawful occupation, and here 
laid up as an evil-doer 2? For which they had no 
better reafon to aflign than that Ais hair was too 
long, and that he had difobeyed that commandment, 
which faith, honour thy father and mother ; which 
they by a violent mifcon{trudtion applied to his 
not taking off his hat to the magiftrates, to 
which he replied, ‘* I love and honour all ma- 
«¢ giftrates and rulers, who are for the punifh- 
«¢ ment of evil doers, and the praife of them 
<¢ that do well.”” Then feeretary Rawfon called

You are upon pain of death to depart this jurif-

CHAP. of death, and, for ought I know, they will mur- 
ut der me; and yét they have nothin har 
Le 5 yé y nothing to charge 
1661, me withal, but my hat and my hair,” 

Upon this Rawfon the fecretary, taking the 
book of records, read to the people, how that 
contrary to law, Edward Wharton had travelled 
‘up and down with W. Robinfon and Marma- 
duke Stevenfon. To which Edward replied, 
** What readelt thou that for ? have you not plow- 
ed furrows on my back for that already, although 
you had no law for it?”’ For he had been cruelly 
whipped in 1659, and fined 2el. for travelling 
in company with the faid fufferers. 

Edward was then threatened, and commanded 
to quit the court, which he did; but, as he told 
them, continued in their jurifdidtion, and pub- 
lickly attended the execution of William Leddra. 
Which the perfecuting priefts and magiftrates 
now thought beft to overlook, finding, that the 
more they condemned, the more the bloody work 
grew on their hands; and that they had the fur- 
ther mortification to perceive that the paft exe- 
cutions had expofed them to fevere cenfure and 
infamy, with candid and unprejudiced minds in a 
general way. Therefore the fiercenefs of their rage 
being in fome meafure damped thereby, they | 
were induced, though reluctantly, from thefe 
and other confiderations, to proceed more cauti- ' 

-oufly in enforcing their fanguinary law.. With 
the firft three that fuffered under it they ufed 
very little ceremony, or form of trial, but as far 
as appears, condemned them to death almoft as 
foon as brought to the bar, without much apolo- 
gy or prefatory introduction to their fentence. 
Nor did William Leddra meet with much. better 
treatment; yet he was allowed fome femblance 
of a trial, but without a jury, and fome liberty

_to fpeak for himfelf (a privilege arbitrarily re- CHAP, 
_fufed to the former) and ftill greater liberty of |" 
vindicating his caufe, was permitted Wenlock. 6 
Chriftifon, the laft who was tried for his life, wentock 
upon their act for banifhment, on pain of death, Chilton. 
and who, with fortitude founded upon confcious 
, Integrity, -bravely maintained his caufe and his 
innocence, and clearly expofed the arbitrary 
meafures of thefe perlecutors; undifmayed at 
their menaces, and at the profpedt of lofing his 
life under their hands, as his brethren had done, 
he fteadfaftly defended himfelf againit power 
_ without right, and with found reafoning pleaded 
his caufe, to the conviction of the audience, and 
even fome of his judges, inhis favour: fo that 
_ although the intemperate governor in his paflion 
- condemned him to death, he, and his affociates, 
| were difcouraged by the current of popular 
odium, or fear of the confequence, from putting: 


- the fentence in execution. 


-It was at the time, when they were pafling 
fentence of death on William Leddra, that Wen- 
lock Chriftifon, who had been alfo banifhed on 
pain of death, not only returned to Bofton, as 
with his life in his hand, but came openly into 
the court. His appearance there” at that time 
ftruck the court with a fudden damp and difmay,. 
fo that for fome time there was a general filence. 
But after a while recovering themfelves, they 
ordered him to be brought to the bar; when 
the marfhal bade him pull off his hat, which he 
refufed, and a fhort dialogue enfued, as follow. 
eth: Secretary Rawfon. Is not your name Wen-

were deprived of this privilege; but the government of Eng- 
land being changed by the King’s. reftoration, they began to 
be afraid to go on in the former courfe, of condemning without

Wenlock. Your will is your law, and what youg u a p, 
have power to do, that you will do: and feeing ll. 
that the jury muft go forth on my life, this 1 “~~” 
have to fay to you in the fear of the living God: 19°" 
‘ Jury, take heed what you do, for you fwear by 

the living God, that you will true trial make, and 

Sut verdict give, according to the evidence. Jury, 

look for your evidence: ;what have I done to 

deferve death? Keep your hands out of innocent 

blood.’ This one of the jurymen acknowledged 

to be good counfel, yet the generality, either pre- 

judiced in their minds, or afraid of the difplea- 

fure of the court, from which they had received 

their leffon, foon brought him in guilty. Wen- 

lock then faid, I deny all guilt, for my confci- 

ence is clear in the fight of God. Governor. 

‘The jury hath condemned thee. Wenlock. The 
- Lord doth juftify me, who art thou that con- 
demneft ? 

Then the court proceeded to vote as to thé +4. court 
fentence of death, to which feveral of them divided. 
would not confent, being by his fteadfaft. 
nefs. in manifefting his innocence, and the 
iniquity of their unfanéctioned law, con- 
vinced in their confciences that he had done 
nothing worthy of death. This diflent pro- 
voked the governor to that unfeemly de- 
gree, that in a rage, throwing fomething 
down on the table, he cried I could find in 

my beart to go home. 

To which Wenlock replied, It were better 

for thee to be at home than here, for thou art 
about a bloody piece of work, : 

_ Governor. You that will not confent record 

it. I thank God, Iam not afraid to give judg- 
ment. Wenlock Chriftifon, hearken to your 
fentence: You muft return to the place from

paffes fen- 
tence of 
death upon 
him, 


of execution, and there you muft be hanged 
until’ you be dead, dead, dead, upon the 13th

Wenlock. The will of: the Lord be done. In 
whofe will I caine amongft you, and in whofe 
counfel I {tand, feeling his eternal power, that. 
will uphold mé to the laft gafp, I do not queftion 
it: known be it to you all, that if you’ have 
power to take my life from me, my foul fhall 
enter into everlafting reft- and peace with God, 
where you yourfelves fhall never come: and if 
you have power to take my life from — me, the 
which I do quéftion, I believe, you fhall never 
more take Quakers lives from them, Note my 
words. Do not think to weary’ out the living 
God by ‘taking away the lives of his fervants : 
what ‘do‘you gain by it? For ‘the laft man you 
put to death here are five come in his" room. 
And if you have power to take my life from me, 


God’ can raife up the fame principle of life in 


ten of his fervants,‘and fend them’among you 
in my room, that you may have torment upon tor. 
ment, which is your portion; for there is no 


. peace to the wicked, faith my God. 


Governor. ‘Take him away. 

-'The holy confidence with which'this conclud- 
ing fpeech of Wenlock’s was uttered, confider- 
éd with’ the fequel, feem fufficient to authorize 
the opinion, that a fupernatural influence fuggelted 
it, notwithftanding the prevailing notion amongft 
the learned of this world that all pretenfions to in- 
{piration are enthufiaftick ; the {cripture informs 
us that great men are not always wife, neither 
do the aged underftand judgment ; but there is 
a fpirit in man, and the infpiration of the Al- 
mighty giveth them underftanding.

‘According to the governor’s order, Wenlock ¢ Ha Pp. 
it 


continued in faith and patience, refigned to the eee 


will of God, and to fuffer death for the tefti- an order 
mony of a good confcience. But before the day ® a5 
appointed for his execution, an order of court QuiKirs 
was iffued for the enlargement of him, and twen- cut of pri- 
ty feven others then in prifon for their chriftian ~ 
teftimony. . 
When the marfhal and conftable came to fet 
them at liberty, they informed them it was in 
cconfequence of a * new law: upon which Wen- 
lock remarked that ‘* It was thought the gallows 
“* had been their laft weapon, that their magi- 
“¢ ftrates had alledged that their law was a good 
** and wholefome law, made for their peace, 
“© and the fafe-guard of their country, adding, 
“** what! are your hands weakened? the power 
*© of God is over you all.” ‘The prifon doors be- 
ing fet open, the’prifoners were by appointment 
of the court, by a guard armed with fwords, 
driven out of the jurifdiction into the wildernefs- — 
country, and'there left. 
This ceflation of fanguinary proceedings, by 
the fubfequent, plainly appears not to be owing 
to any tendernels, or recovery to a better mind 
‘in the perfecutors; but partly to the general 
odium and outcry of the more rational and 
moderate part on both fides the Atlantic, againft 
-their putting men to death for religion, whilft 
themfelves and their party, were not only ftig- 
matizing, with, every opprobrious epithet, that 
hierarchy, from whom they had experienced far | 
lefs feverity ; but had recourfe to arms, or to 


flight 


* This new law was for banifhing them, and if they re- 
turned, whipping them from town to town out of their jurif- 
diction.

CHAP, flight ta get the power into their own hands, 
_, and abule it, even in a fuperior degree; yet 
1651, Chiefly, I apprehend, owing to the change of 
“government in England. From the king and 
miniflry, betwixt whom and them there was no 
cordiality, they had no reafon to expect any par- 

. tiality in their favour, and being convicted in 

. their confciences, that they had tranfgreffed the 
bounds of their authority, and the limitations of 

their charter, fearfulnefs of being called to ac- 

count at this time, when their party had loft 

the power of fkreening them, was 1 believe the 

moft prevalent reafon with them ta drop the ex- 
ecution of their illiberal and perfecuting law; 

but the fpirit * of maleyolence and perfecution 
continued to aétuate them ftill, In imitation of 

their brethren here, they called the Quakers va- 
gabonds, and made a law to whip them as fuch 
through every town in thejr way out of their 
jurifdiction; of the feyere execution of this 

. law, we fhall fee many affecting inftances jn 
the fucceeding parts of this hiftory, and that they 

finally ceafed not their inhuman feyerities- until 

the principal agents were arrefted to appear in 
judgment before an higher tribunal than theirs... - 

When the tidings of thefe fevere executions 

reached their friends in England, from the im- 

hare pulfe 


* In Thomas Chalkley’s journal, in his travels in New- 
England, in 1693, we meet with the following paflage, « I 
‘* being a ftranger and a traveller could not but obferve the 
‘© barbarous and unchriftian welcome I had into Bolton, the 
«© metropolis of New England, 04 what a pity, {aid one’ that 
“all your faciety were not hanged with the other four !” 
"This fhews that the fpirit of perfecution was alive in fome of 
that people, long after the power of gratifying it was reftrain.

__, Was altered, and then they feemed to be really 


1661, alarmed with fear of the confequences of the 


undue exertion of .unlicented authority, and 
their refufing to acknowledge the fupremacy of 
England, in refufing appeals for trial by its 
‘laws: In order to avert the danger and appre- 
hended ill confequences of their mifrule, they 
concluded to fend a deputation to the king*.

But here they meafure the Quakers by their own rule of ac 
tion, having, in purple charaéters, manifefted themfelves ene- 
mies to every government, but in their own hands, and — 
ftopped neither at deceitful nor violent meafures to feize and '

of them, whether they hetered that his friends c H AP. 
whom they had executed. were Jefuits, or jefui- 
tically inclined; they, anfwered, Nay. Then 
faid he, ye have murdered them, for it plainly 
appears you have put them to death arbitrarily 
without any law. Upon which Broadftreet in- 
finuated their aim was, to infnare them. But 
George [Tox obferved they had catched them- 
felves ; and if the father of William Robinfon 
(who was not of their perfuafion) were in town, 
it was probable he would queftion them, and 
bring their lives into jeopardy. And fome of 
the royalifts were earneft with the Quakers to 
profecute them as murderers of the king’s fub- 
jets without any law or authority from him, 
But their fecurity lay in the pacifick and for- 
bearing principles of thofe whom they had per- 
fecuted, whereby they were directed not to a- 
venge themfelves, but comnitit their caufe to the 
righteous judge, who will render to every man 
according to his works. - 

However, thefe deputies being alarmed, and The depu- 
fearing the danger of ftaying in E ngland, Se pesee. \ 
thought it fafeft to fecure themfelves by a pre-t home. 
cipitate retreat,. and: return home, : where it 
feems they met with'a’ cool reception.’ . 

_ What they had in commiffion, befides deliver- 

ing the addrefs, I meet with ;no clear account ; 
but Neal informs us the ‘country was not fatif- 
fied with their conduct, he adds, * Whether 
“¢ they flattered’ the court! too much, or promil- 
“< ed more for their country than they ought is 
“ uncertain,;. but when Norton came home, his 
“ friends, were fhy, of him, and fome of: the 
*¢ people told him to: his face that he had laid 
‘ the foundation of the ruin. of their: liberties,

*¢ which ftruck him to the heart, and brought’ 
** him into fuch a melancholy habit- of body, 
** as haftened his death*,”? William Sewel in- 
forms us that this Norton bowed to the arch- 
bifhop with no lefs reverence than to the king; 


that by fawning upon the church party (whom. ' 


they hated) they found means to referve a 
power ta be vexatious to the Quakers fo called, 
although they were prohibited from putting them 
to death: That many of the bifhops and others. 
entertained inimical difpofitions to this fociety,, 
the fevere perfecutions foon after raifed againi{t 
them evidently demontftrate. | 

For they and their partifans at court and in: 
parliament having now the afcendancy, after ex- 
cluding the Prefbyterians from all offices of truft 
or emolument in church or ftate,‘ proceeded to 
punifh the Quakers, who affected neither, ie?

, * His death was, very’ fudten; having been. at his wor- 

fhip in the fore part of the day, ‘and Intending to go thither 

again in the afternoon, as he was walking in his own houfe 


‘he was obferved to fetch’a great groan ; and leaning his head 


again{t the, chimney piece was’ heard’ to fay,: The hand, ov 


judgment of the Lord is upanimey and fo funk down, and {poke 


no.more, and had fallen into the fire, if an ‘ancient man pre- 
fent had not prevented it. He having been a: principal infti- 
gator’ of the mbagiftrates'to all their fevere perfecution ‘of this 
innocent people, even to-put them to death, it was natural for 


theny to confider the manner of his death asa judgment upon’ 


hiim,- and to rank him with feveral others who had been ac- 
tive promoters ‘of cruelty againft them, many of whom died 
not,a naturaf- death, but were cither ‘cut off by a fudden 
ftroks, or died with’ difagreeable and ‘loathfome  fymptoms 
about them. © Neale fays,: *:"U'his reflection’ of the Quakers 
s* (upon Norton’s death) is very unjuft, it being impoflible for 
« us to diftinguifh between.a natural and judicial death ; yet I 
«& heartily wih that neither he nor any body elfe, by their 
 unchriltian feverities, had given them occafion to make it.’”.

culpate them in difobeying thereof; and that 

as the worfhip of God was an indifpenfable duty 

required by this law, they could not refrain 

keeping up their meetings for that purpofe, 

whatever fufferings human laws might fubject

To this Richard Hubberthorn made anfwer ta 


this purport. ‘That there could be no fuch dan, 
ger in their meetings as was impHed, becaule 
being public, and cpen for the reception of all 
perfons, who chofe to refort to them, to fee 
and hear all that was tranfacted therein, there 


was no probability that they fhould plot or con-— 


trive infurre¢ctions in the face of the world; that 


the reducing of their meetings to the number 


of four or five, befides the family, appeared ta 
be a meafure not calculated for the preventing 
of fuch pernicious defigns, if they were a peo- 
ple of fuch bad principles (which they were not) 
but rather to furnith more convenient opportu; 
nities for promoting them, for it would not 
break their correfpondence, but afford them 
the means of carrying it on more privately, 


and in a manner better accommodated for form, - 


ing and advancing a plot: Wherefore it appear- 
ed more prudent and eligible to fuffer their meet, 
ings to be public, as they were, rather than 
to punifh a numerous body of people, on caufe, 
lefs fufpicion of danger, fupported by no mat-

ings, terming them unlawful or contrary to 
law, and tending to feduce the people from the 1661 
church; . [ 

George Whitehead replied to him, that ifGsorse 
their meetings were contrary to law, it implied other” 
. there exifts fome law already to which they are pectings 
contrary; and if there be a law already in force ea Unlate 
againft them, it feems quite fuperfluous and un-*" 
necefiary for you to make a new one: But, we 
truft, no fuch thing can be proved againit us, as 
that our meetings, properly fpeaking, are in 
themfelves unlawful, being in obedience to the 
Lord, only for his worfhip, and agreeable to 
the practice of the primitive chriltians, and 
therefore .not unlawful in the proper fenfe of the 
word. He alfo obferved, that if they fuffered 
for keeping them up, under perfuafion of duty, 
they fhould fuffer for the caufe of God, and 
fo commit their caufe to him who would judge 
righteoufly between them and their perfecutors, 
exhorting the houfe to aé in his fear; for they 
might as well make a law, that the Quakers (fo 
called) fhould not pray in the name of Jefus 
Chrift, as one that they fhould not affemble for 
divine worfhip, which they dared no more to— 
refrain, than Daniel did to pray to the true 
God, although it was contrary to king Da- 
rius’s decree. 

He defired them to confider what guilt and 
difrepute they might bring upon themlelves, by 
making a law, the execution whereof mutt pro- 
duce grievous fufferings upon thoufands of inno- 
cent people in the nation (who in juftice ought 
‘to be proteéted by law) endanger the utter ruin 
of many families, and the lofs of many lives in 


prifons.

from Breda. 


HISTORY ‘or rHE 


When mankind,’ from the illufions of party, 
heat, come to recover found and difpaflionate 
judgment, what an indelible ftain muft it leave 
on the reputation or memory of thofe, who deaf 
to every fentiment of juftice and compaffion, 
could be inftrumental to the oppreffion of an 
innocent people! againft whom na matter of 
fact, or crime worthy of fuffering, could be prov- 
ed, or juftly laid to their charge, 

He obferved further, that if the bill before 
them was paffed into a law, it would give en- 
couragement to wicked, rude and lawlefs per- 
fons to abufe them beyond the law, as they had 
Jately done upon the King’s proclamation; when 
feveral of their friends were by rude fellows 
taken out of their beds; poor men dragged 
from their lawful employments, and their poor 
families, whofe fubfiftence depended on their 
daily labour ; others feized travelling about their 
lawful occafions on the King’s highway, and all 
hurried to prifon illegally, without warrant, or 
authority, even from the proclamation. ‘There: 
fore, in cafe the intended act was pafled, they had 
reafon to apprehend the repetition of thefe abufes 
to a greater degree; as fuch rude qnd unprin- 
cipled perfons would look upon it as a licence, 
to gratify their malicious difpofitions with all 
kinds of cruelty and injurious treatment of 
them. — i . 

Finally, they affert their right to the indul. 
gence to tender confciences upon the King’s fo- 
lemn promife in his declaration, that no man 
fhall be called to account for differences of opi- 
nion in matters of religion, which do not difturb 
the peace of the kingdom. That their demean- 
our having been peaceable, inoffenfive to their 

neighbours,

they were within the defcripticn of thofe who 'Y 

were entitled to the indulgence; and having eats 

never forfeited their right thereto, they could ae 

not be reftrained in matters of worfhip and con- 

f{cience towards God, without wounding the 

King’s honour, and violating the publick faith. 
Conclufive as thefe arguments were, although 

they had an effect upon feveral of the members, 

fo that they appeared ferious and fober in their 

carriage towards the appellants, and fome of 

them owned, what they advanced was very rea- 

fonable, and if the members had feared God, 

or regarded equity, they would not have pafled 

the act; and although fupported by the abilities 

of Edmund Waller, (diftinguifhed for his poeti- 

cal performances, ) in a candid and liberal fpeech 

on the occafion; as alfo by Michael Mallet, Sir 

John Vaughan and others; yet they were inef- 

fectual with the majority of the houfe, compofed 

of courtiers, penfioners to the crown, and bigots 

to epifcopal authority, with whom the dictates 

of the court, and the imagined interefts and 

power of the epifcopal church preponderated, The pin 

again{ft reafon, right and juftice, fo that the bill paffed. 

was paffed into a law; in confequence whereof, 

great. perfecutions and imprifonments enfued.

HISTORY OF THE 


preparing for the innocent, even in the time 
when fmooth words have been given. Oh! 


‘that thou wouldeft have taken counfel of the. 


Lord, and obeyed the fame, thou fhouldeft. 
have been profpered; but thou haft taken. 
counfel of them that have caufed thee to err: 
Thou haft alfo fought to exalt and eftablith 
thyfelf and thy own honour, and not the truth 
and honour of God only, which if thou hadft 
truly done, God would have honoured thee. 
Thou haft greatly difhonoured and grieved the 
Lord, by fetting up minilters, whom he ap- 


‘ proveth not, and by providing them a forced 


maintenance, that fo they may make a prey of 
his people, who for confcience-fake cannot put 
into their mouths, being {piritually gathered 
therefrom by the word of the Lord.—O friend, 
it is not the perfon of any man which the Lord 
regards, but it is righteoufnefs which he hath 
regard to; and fo far as man acts in righteouf- 
nefs, fo far only is he accepted of the Lord, 
whatever his {tation may be. 


‘ € Thou haft alfo grieved the holy Spirit, by 
thy fuffering all thefe wicked and profane 


fhows and fports, which have abounded fince 
thy coming in. ‘Thou haft highly difpleafed 
the Lord God, by thy fuffering perfecution to 
be carried on in thy name, even whilft thou in.’ 
words haft promifed liberty: Yea many are 
this day confined in holes and prifons for the 


teftimony of a good confeience. “Lhe Lord is 
difpleafed with the pride and wickednefs that ' 


abounds both in thy dominions and in thy fa- 
mily ; and thou thyfelf haft not been fuch a 
pattern and example as thou oughteft to have 
been. When I behold the wickednefs, cruelty 
and oppreffion, which abound in this nation

ordered him to be fent to Newgate:' Another 
time, as he was going to the fame place, he faw 
two men in the yard near Blackwell-hall, with 
their caps on, whereupon he fent for them, and 
committed them to the counter, where they were 
detained till the expiration of his mayoralty. 

As one Philip Harwood was.coming up Fofter- 
Jane, ‘the mayor riding by, {topped his horfe, 
and ‘afked Philip whether be was not'a Quaker? 
He anfwered, lam fo called: Upon which the 
mayor, without any more words, ordered him to 
Newgate, where he lay about three months. He 
gave many inftances of the cruelty of his difpofi- 
tion, one of which was, that when the wife of 
Nicholas Ridley had been fent by him to Bride- 
well, and fell fick there, her hufband came to the 
mayor, interceding for her liberty; to whom he 
yave this churlifh anfwer, Let her lie there and 
rot, thee-mayeft get another wife the fooner; and 
inftead of fhewing mercy to the fick woman,’ fent — 
her hufband to Newgate for afking it.’ ae 

About this time, befide the heavy: fufferings 
from the fecular powers, this people were affected 
and vanity of one John Perrot. nT 

¢ This man had joined in fociety with the people 
called Quakers pretty early, and too early taken 
upon him the minifterial office : Being puffed up 
with a vain-opinion of his own abilittes, he muft 
needs go to Rome to convert the pope, and pro- 
curing one John Love to accompany him, when 
they arrived at Leghorn they were taken up and 
examined by the inquifition, and are reported 
upon their examination to have given their an- 
fwers in a manner fo fatisfactory, as to obtain

their difmiffion with impunity. 4 From thencec H a P. 


they went to Venice, and afterwards to Rome 
where they had not been long till they were taken 
up and imprifoned; Love, as reported, in the 
inquifition, and Perrot in their Bedlam or hofpi- 
tal, for madmen. Love died in prifon, not with- 
out well-grounded fufpicion of his being murder- 
ed there. The report divulged wag, that he had 
fafted to death;. but it is faid, fome nuns confeffed 
he was privately difpatched in the night, for his 
teftifying again{t the idolatry of their religion. 
Perrot lay there fometime longer. Sewel repre- 
fents him as a man of great natural parts; but 
Thomas Elwood as not very unfit for the prifon 
in which he was confined, becaufe during his con- 
finement he writ fome epiftles, to be printed in 
England, in fuch an affeéed fantaftical ftile as be- 
{poke him fcarce found in mind. 

At length, through the folicitation of friends to 
fome perfon of note and intereft there, he was re- 
leafed, and returned to England. If he was ele- 
vated with fpiritual pride and vain conceit before 
he went abroad, the report of his great fufferings, 
joined with a great appearance of fandtity, gaining 
him the compaflionate affection and efteem o 
many friends, his imaginary confequence and ex- 
‘ altednefs of mind was encreafed to that degree, 
that he thought himfelf farther enlightened than 
George Fox, and the reft of his friends, and as 
an evidence thereof maintained that the cuftom

of putting off their hats in joining in public prayer, ~ 


was only a piece of formality and cuflom of the 
world, which ought not to be prattifed without 
an immediate motion thereto. ‘That regard, 
which the exaggerated report of his fuiferings had

Vv. tural to many, attached a confiderable number of 
“~~ adherents to him, to the introducing confufion 
1661. and diforder in worfhip. The next extravagance 
he adopted, was to let his beard grow, in which 
he was followed by feveral of his partifans. 
George Fox and the principal body of friends, 
forefeeing the danger of drawing off the mind 
from a proper attention to the neceffary work of 
inward fanétification, into jangling and conten- 
tion about outward obfervations of little impor- 
tance, exerted their endeavours to prevent the 
fpreading of the deception, which they could not 
effectually do for fome years; till Perrot mani- 
fefted more plainly the error of his fpirit, and de- 
pravity of his heart, by the inftability and enor- 
\ mity of his conduct. He went to America, and 
there his airy unftable notions Jed him into mani- 
feft fenfualities and flefhly liberties, fantaftically 
putting on gaudy apparel, and wearing a {word; 
and under the pretence of being above forms, 
went fo far at laft, as toreckon meeting for wor- 
fhip a form; and by his example and do€trine led 
many to forfake the aflembling themfelves toge- 
ther, as we fhall have occafion more particularly 
to fpecify, when we come to treat of the ftate of 
this fociety in America, where having obtained 
fome poft under the government, he who had be- 
fore profefled that Chrift had forbidden all fwear- 
ing, is reported to have diftinguifhed himfelf as 

a moft rigorous exacter of oaths, 
_ About the time that George lox was excited 
to eftablith an orderly difcipline in the fociety, he 
felt a warm impreflion of duty on his mind to ap- 
point a meeting in London with thofe who had 
been feduced by the faid Perrot into a feparation 


from the fociety, to endeavour to, recover them

that unity of the body, which they had broken (in beac’ 
part at leaft) by their deviation; and through the | ¢. 1. 
divine blefling and affiftance attending his and his : 
friends labour of love, they were generally reco- 
vered, acknowledged their error, and returned 
into the unity of the fociety; whereby an end 
was put to this feparation in England. | 
It was with the commencement of this year 1662. 
that the aforementioned act again{t the Quakers commence- 
came in force, and the fame hoftile fpirit that dic-™«» As ba 
tated the framing and pafling it, difcovered itfelf Se arte 
in the execution. One Philip Millar appears to 
be the firft that molefted them in London; who, pect. 
although vefted with no office or legal authority, haviour of 
without any order or warrant, came to the meet- shaadi a 
ing in John’s-f{treet, with a rabble of people at- 
tending him, and having a cane in his hand, 
commanded the attendant rabble to feize whom 
he pleafed: He then applied to the conftable, and 
with menaces obliged him to go with him: Of 
thofe he had ordered to be feized he felected five, 
and had them carried before a juftice, who com- 
‘mitted them to prifon. Some days after he came 
again to the fame meeting place, and becaufe the 
perfons aflembled would not depart at his com- 
mand, he ftruck feveral of them with his cane, 
and then charged the conflable, whom he had 
brought with him, with as many of them as he 
thought proper, among ft whom was John Crook, 
who before his convincement had been a juftice of 
peace; they being taken before a juitice, he took 
their words to come to him next morning, which 
they did, when he ordered them to appear before 
the juftices, then fitting at Hicks’s-hall, who com- 
mitted nine of them to Newgate.

too bold. . . 

John Crook. Sirrah is not a word for a judge: 
Iam no felon, neither ought you to menace the 
prifoner at the bar. For I ftand here as arraign- 
ed for my life and liberty, and the prefervation of 
my: wife and children and outward eftate : There- 
fore 1 have a right to be fully heard, what I can 
fay in my own defence, according to law; and I 
hope the court will bear with me, if I take the 


freedom to affert my liberty as an Englifhman - 


and a chriftian; if I fpeak loud, it is from zeal 
for the truth; and mine innocency makes me 
bold. Let me fee my accufer, that 1 may know 
for what caufe I have been fix weeks imprifoned, 
and do not put me to accnfe myfelf by afking me 
queftions. Let my accufer come forth, or elfe 
difcharge me by proclamation, as you ought to 
do. 

Fudge Twifden, We take no notice of your 
being here, otherwife than as of a ftraggler, or as 
of any other perlon, or of the people that are 
here this day; for we may tender the oath to any 

man, 


neft men, merely for a religious fcruple to take an oath, by the 
fevereft law he could take hold of ; and which without any real 
occafion he put to them, becaufe he knew for confcience-fake 


they could not take it, in order to criminate them, and put it 5 


out of their power to feek juftice for their falfe imprifonment, 
if they had been fo inclined: Whether was a greater enormity 
to refufe taking an oath, or to take oaths, and afterwards pay 
no regard to the obligation thereof? 1 fuppofe that taken by a 
judge muft be to do juftice, without favour or affection, enmi- 
ty or ill-will, without refpect of perfons; which, how far this 
was regarded in this trial, let the reader judge. Judge’s Oath,

man. This was feconded by another judge: Andc ua p. 
the chief judge, in the procefs of the trial, ex- 
prefled himfelf thus: We look not upon what 
you are here for ; but finding you here, we ten- 
der you the oath. 

The judges perfifting in the oath being admi- 
niftered, John Crook enquired by what law they 
had power to tender it? and was anfwered by the 
third of King James; John Crook demurring, de- 
fired the flatute might be read, that it might ap- 
pear upon what occafion, and again{ft whom it 
was made, but this would not be admitted, and 
his objection was over-ruled. 

The prifoners were remanded to prifon, and 24, aay. 
brought into court again next day, when they 
were demanded again to take the oath’; but {till 
infifting on the plea that they ought to be firft 
tried and convicted upon the caufe of their impri- 
fonment, the judge was provoked to tranlgrets 
the bounds of decency fo far, as to call John Crook 
a faucy and impudent fellow. — 

In the afternoon of the fame day they were 
again brought to the bar, and a new indictment 
for refufing to take the oath of allegiance having 
been drawn up, they were required to plead to it, 
guilty, or not guilty; to which objecting, as not 
being fatisfied whether they ought to plead to a cre- 
ated offence, and thereby acquieice in the intro- 
duétion of a precedent of an unufual proceeding in 
courts of judicature, and dangerous to the liberty 
of the fubjeét; as alfo whether their pleading 
would not deprive them of the benefit of the law, 
and quafhing the indi€lment, or making excep- 
tions again{t it; and being informed it would 
not, they pleaded in fuch form as their fcrupu- 
lous confciences would permit, that they were

John Crook and others, Upon this they cried te Pe ss:

to be pulled out of our meetings, and carried us 

to priion without warrant or legal procefs; and 

muft thefe be our judges? we except againt{t

Yudge. It is too late now, you fhould have 
done it before they had been fworn jurymen. 
Jury, go together, that which you have to find

which hath been fworn before you that they did : 
you need not go from the bar, The like faid the 
recorder and others, the contufion and noife con- 
tinuing, and feveral fpeaking together. 

The prifoners demanded their privilege to make Phe prifon 
their defence before the jury brought in their ver- to jcheard,

having remarked, that “if the oe had li-

guarding the fubjeéts rights, they had recourfe to 

their ufual exclamation, ‘* Stop their mouths,

“* leave, and the occafion requires ; it is to the.

** you to be out of the king’s protection, and to 
“* be imprifoned during his pleafure. And this

“* are {till under God’s protection.” : 
The Court was adjourned, and the prifoners 
remanded to Newgate. 
Such a mockery of juftice as this trial exhibits, Remark. 
I truft,. for the reputation and honour of the na- 
tion, our hiftory affords few or no inftances at this 
day. It demonftrates, beyond the power of all 
apologies to palliate, that the government of Eng- 
land at this era, was as arbitrary to the diffenters 
in general, and particularly the quakers, as any 
other abfolute government whatfoever. We are 
here prefented. with an inftance of natural-born 
fubje&s, who had violated no duty, committed 
no crime, contrived no fedition, neither broken 
the peace, nor difturbed the government, depriv- 
ed of their birth-right in the charters of the Eng- 
lifhman’s liberty, confirmed by the moit binding 
ratifications, as the perpetual and inviolable privi- 
» leges of the people of England. Magna charta 
‘ and the petition of rights infringed ;—lubjedts il- 
legally imprifoned: brought to tfial, and no 
crime charged upon them* ‘The court of judica- 
ture turned into an inquifition to make them cri- 
minate themfelves, and to deprive them of the 
means of demanding legal fatisfaCtion for injury 
fuftained : Perfons of property abufed, not al- 
lowed to fpeak in their own defence ; {tripped at 
once of their perfonal liberty and all their pro- 
perty; time to traverfe the indi@ment till the

pricfthood, who were, for the major part, them-

new law, particularly pointed: at them on that 
account, was not only fuperfluous, but adding ~Y~ 
grievance to grievance upon a body of people anky 
already under heavy oppreffion, againft whom 
nothing worthy of fuffering had been proved. 
And feeing in the firft fucceeding inflance, the 

new. law was not enforced; but an old law made 
- againft popifh recufants, and them only, pervert. 
ed to the punifhment of innocent men, while 
thofe again{ft whom it was made, were left unmo- 
lefted and encouraged. It feems the leviflature 
and minifters of the law had no meaning by new 
laws to fuperfede ‘the old, ér let them lie dor-

perfecute in the fevereft manner all ranks of this 
people. alah 4: 

Such was the difpofition of thofe who had the p.p.aion

henfion of more to come, there feemed for them 
no human help; yet trulting in that divine Being, 
for the ferving and obeying of whom in the fin- 
cerity of their hearts, they were perfecuted, and 
fupported through all by the teftimony of an ap- 
proving confcience, they firmly bore the utmoft 
malice of their perfecutors without fhrinking ; 
by their conftancy they even wearied them out, 
and at laft by patient fuffering attained quictude; 
but at prefent they were only at the beginning 
of forrows ; they had many clofe trials of their 
faith, and a long fight of afflictions to fuftain, 
before their patience could get the better of the 

refentments and virulence of their adverlaries.

Trial of 


Robert

for refufing 
to take the 
oath of al- 
legiance. 


for the better difcovery of popifh recufants, in 
confequence of a defperate enterprize concerted 
by fome of that clafs only, at the diftance of two 
reigns *, to the punifhment of men the moft re- 
mote from that denomination, and who neither 
had, nor, I believe, were even fufpected to have 
any concern in any plot whatever. 

¢ In the next month at the affizes of Worcef- 
ter, Robert Smith was likewife indifted for. re- 
fufing to take the oath of allegiance, having been 
imprifoned in like manner with thofe before 
mentioned ; and when he was brought to the 
bar, demanded alfo the caufe of his imprifon- 
ment for five or fix weeks, in reply to the judge’s 


enquiry, ‘* When did you take the oath of alle- 


«¢ giance?”’ The judge’s anfwer was, ‘‘ I meddle 
‘ not with your imprifonment, but finding you 
‘ here, I tender you the oath of allegiance ; will 
<< you take it or no? I tell you the danger. that 
¢ will follow: You will incur a premunire, and 
‘ forfeit your eftate to the King. 

R. Smith. Who was that law made for, the 
papifts or us? 

‘Fudge. For both. 

R. Smith. Why then is it not tendered to 
them, as well as us? 

Fudge. ‘They have taken it already.

the fame feflions an order was iffued to the fhe-cHA P. 
riff to feize all the lands, tenements, goods and V 
-chattels of the prifoners; the execution of which 
order was prevented by timely application to the

In Suffex, Ambrofe Rigge was committed to ye 
prifon, indicted next aflizes, tried immediately, and their 
and fentence of premunire pafled ppon him, by nea 
_ which he was adjudged to lofe all his lands and 
tenements during life, his goods and chattels for Ambrofe 
ever, and fuffer imprifonment during the King’s "°°" 
pleafure. Upon that fentence he was kept in 
prifon ten years and four months. | 

To recite all the hard and illicit treatment this 
fociety met with by the milapplication of this 
law, and how many of them fuffered the lofs of 
all their fubilance, perfonal liberty and proteé¢ti- 
on of law, by premunires during the prefent year, 
would carry me far beyond my bounds, and 
might difguft the reader in a tedious detail of 
fimilar cafes. But the treatment of Thomas Thomas 
Goodyear and Benjamin Staples at the quarter Ee eT 
feffions at Oxford in the preceding year demands min staples. 
particular notice. After receiving the fentence 
of premunire on the like account, Thomas Good- 
year, who was brought like a common malefac- 
tor with bolts on his legs, afking the court, 
“¢ Whether the jailer had orders to fetter him?’’ 
was anfwered, “ the jailer may do as he will 
‘* with you, for you are out of the King’s pro-| 
<¢ tection.” The jailer, encouraged in obduracy 
(habitual, it is probable, in him) by the example 
of his fuperiors, when he brought them back to

away their lives had not been a lighter punifh- cH A P. 
ment, than condemning men of repute, who v1. 
had been inured to a comfortable way of living, M9 
on competent eftates or by laudable induftry, 1662. 
to languifh out their days in noifome jails ; rob- 
bed of their property; they and their families 
reduced to want; deprived of all company, but 
the refufe of mankind, and of every thing that 
makes life tolerable, except the teftimony of a 
good confcience, which their perfecutor’s power 
could not reach. 
Yet as if all this were not fufficient to gratify 
the ill will of their enemies, it was even attempted 
at this time to bring their lives into danger. As 
we have juft defcribed the mode adopted for 
making men offenders againft the firlt part of

caufe it gave power to proceed to banifhment he elt

latter they could not have that power till the Béathe 2 
third offence. : 
Several perfons, taken from their religious 
meetings and committed to the White-Lyon pri- 
fon, Southwark, after about nine weeks impri-

tonly exulting in the profpeét, that they muft , 


of courfe incur the penalties of felony. 

At a fefhons at the fame place on the 11th 
of November, thirteen more of the prifoners 
_ were brought to the bar, and indiéted as before; 
five of them pleading not guilty, were tried, 
convicted and fentenced as the former ; the other 
eight feeing the court fo partial that a fair hear- 


ing could not be expected, refufed to plead and 


were fent back to prifon. 

It hath been before remarked, that the ine 
ftances of enforcing this law were not many, nor 
equally encouraged with other modes of profe- 
cution, as the full enforcing thereof muft ter- 


minate in public executions, and it is likely, the ' 


minifters and principal promoters of thele feve- 
rities did not chufe to incur the odium or the 
guilt of inflicting capital punifhment mercly for 
religion, as there had been few precedents fince 
the reformation, except where fome pretext of 
treafon or fedition could be picked up to palliate 
the feverity: Yet the juftices and inferior ma- 


giftrates, being moft of them invefted with autho- . 
rity on account of their bitternefs* againft non- . 


conformilts, feemed difpofed in fome cafes -to 
put this ftatute fully in force, but for the inter- 
vention of higher authority. It was however 
kept alive, and repeated menaces thrown out of 
enforcing it in terrorem; but the proceedings 
thereon generally terminated in arbitrary impri- 
fonment, frequently till a releafe came by pro- 
clamation or pardon; a punifhment fevere 
enough, |

CHAP. Such was the univerfality of party rage at this 
_, time againit this people, that they were left un- 
1662, ™moleited in few or no parts of the nation. 
G, fex pre: George Fox, in an addrefs to the king, acquaints 
fnisan ad-him that three thoufand and fixty-eight of their 
King, in- friends had been imprifoned fince his reftoration ; 
sme that their meetings were daily broken up by ° 
fufferings of meh with clubs and arms, their friends thrown 
Mistrieuds. into the water, * and trampled under foot till 
the blood gufhed out. Another narrative was 
printed, figned by twelve witnefles, relating that 
upwards of four thoufand two hundred of thofe 

called Quakers, both men and women, were in 

prifon, {pecifying the number in each county, 

and upon what account. Many of thefe had 

been grievoufly abufed with beatings, tearing 

their clothes, and taking themaway. Some put 

into fuch noifome prifons as were owned not fit 

for dogs. Some prifons fo crowded that the 
prifoners had not room to fit down all together. 

In Chefhire fixty-eight perfons were thus locked 

up ina {mall room. No age or fex found any 
commiferation from the ill-principled magiftrates 

of this reign. Men of fixty, feventy or more 

years of age, were without pity or remorfe fub- 

jected 


# About the 3d of Odtcher, 1660, a conftable and 
others armed with pitchforks, bills, ftaves and fuch like 
weapons, entered a meeting at Steventon in Berkshire, pulled 
out Thomas Curtis and threw him into a pond, tearing his 
coat in pieces: With. the like barbarity they ufed feveral 
others, {paring neither age nor fex. One of them was trodden 
on and kept down in the water tll fome of their own company 
cried out, you'll drown the man, After which they drove 
the innocent people along the highway, inhumanly abufing and 
bemiring them. This abufe was faid to be given them at the 
inftigation of a drunken prieft, who being told, thar dis 
aveapons ought to Le fpiritual, replied that he would fight the 
Quakers with fuch weapons as he bad, ,

ey in authority it had no fuch effec. 

Eee Thofe who were left at liberty had but a very 
precarious enjoyment thereof, being daily in 
danger of following their triends to prifon for 
the fame caufe, keeping up their religious af- 
femblies froma religious perfuafion of duty to: 
their Maker; yet whilft they were at liberty, 
they were not fuffered to be at eafe, the foldiers 

Greata- and trained-bands, by the encouragement of the 

pues of the magiftracy, were let loofe upan them, to beat, 

oldiers and ae 3 

trained to bruife, to wound them nigh unto, and even 

bands. quite unto death; fo that in the city of London, 
and divers other parts, the treatment of this 
people bore more the appearance of the French 
dragoonings of thofe called Hugonots, than the 
metropolis of England, entitled to the privilege 
of a conftitution limited to legal rule; and looks 
as if, by accumulated abules, they defigned to 
provoke them to fome act of refiftance, which 
might furnifh a pretence for proceeding again{t 
them as rioters and feditious, which when they 
could not do, they termed their peaceable meet- 
ings riots, and thereupon indicted and punifhed 
the attenders as fuch. 

Particularly [he meeting, diftinguifhed by the name of 

et vend Bull and. Mouth, being near the center of the 
city, was particularly expofed to the tumultuous - 
intrufions of thefe difturbers of the peace (for 
they were employed for no other purpofe, by 
magiftrates who were bound by their office and 
oaths to preferve it.) To this meeting the fol- 
diers came feveral firft days fucceflively, with 
mufkets, lighted matches, pikes and_halberts, 
conducted by a military officer, with his fword :

rufhing and uproar to terrify the aflembly, com-. _¥! 
manding the people aflembled to be gone; which 
when they were not hafty to do, as believing 
themfelves in the way of their duty,. and Eafe 
who gave the command invefted with no legal 
authority’; then they began the fhameful attack 
with their canes and clubs upon the unrefifting 
people, unmanfully beating women as well as 
men, for they fpared no age nor fex, but laid — 
on their blows with great force, not only wound- 
ing their bodies with their blows, but their ears 
with {coffs, menaces, oaths and imprecations, 
and threatening to fire at them ; this treatment 
they continued at one time about two hours, 
ftriking them with fwords, ftaves and the buts 
of their mufkets, and haling them out of doors ; 
by fuch violence many were grievoufly wounded, 
fome fainted away, and fome furvived it but a

When they had wearied themfelves by thefe 
atts of violence, they generally added the

hearers as they thought fit, to the number already 
imprifoned. :

c HAP. Their trials were condutted in the accuftomed 
i. manner ; the bench and jury prepared to convict 
1662, them, the witnefles, thofe men who ought to have 
been fubftituted in their places for breach of the 
peace, being moftly the officers who had com-. 
manded the party that had abufed them, called 
"as witneffes again{t the very perfons whom them- 
felves alfo had ftricken and dragged out of their 
meetings with violence: it was remarked that 
thefe witnefies hefitated, and even contraditted 
themfelves: one being afked by the judge, “* Are 
** you certain thefe are the perfons you took at 
‘ that meeting,” replied, “* My lord, I don’t 
“* know the faces of the men, but thefe mens’ 
¢* names I have in a note here.” Yet fuch was 
the temper of the court and of the jury, that 
this defettive evidence was accepted as fufficient 
to convict them; upon which they were fen- 
tenced in fines, fome one hufdred marks, fome 
twenty pounds, and others in lefs fums, and 
committed again till they fhould pay the fines. 
Again{t feveral no evidence appeared, yet they 
were not difcharged, but fent back to prifon with 
the reft. . 
Generalre- It was not long however before they met with 
fonts, ee an unexpected releafe, for before the end of 
the month the King was pleafed to grant them 
‘a general amnefty, by an order to the mayor, 
to the following purport: “* That whereas di- 
*¢ vers perfons going under the name of Qua- 
“¢ kers, and other names of feparation, were im- 
© prifoned for being at unlawful meetings, yet

** out of the jails of London and Middlefex, ex- BE afeir 
‘¢ cepting fuch as had been indiéted for relufing ; 
** the oaths of allegiance, or were ringleaders or

In purfuance of this order all that had been 
committed by Sir Richard Brown and others 
were releafed, and the jails of London and Mid- 
dlefex almoft entirely cleared of Quakers, a few 
only excepted; but ina fhort time were filled 
again, for the King’s mandate for their releafe 
gave little or no interruption to the perfecuting Perfecution 
meafures carried on again{ft them. ‘Their meet. connucd. 
ings continued to be difturbed in like manner 
as is before related, even with an additional de- 
gree of violence. . 

The very next day after the publication of Wheeler 
the King’s letter the meeting at Whecler-ftreet ing broken 
was broken up in the fame abufive manner, and “?- 
nine perfons taken and fent to New-prifon, 
whence after a detention of twelve days they 
were releafed. The fame day Sir Richard 
Brown, in company with fome military officers, 
meeting a perfon in the ftreet going about his 
lawful occafions, who had been difcharged from 
Newgate the day before by the King’s letter, 

* called out, There’s a Quaker, take him up and 
carry him to the counter, which by his attendants 
was accordingly done; and he, thus arbitrarily 
committed, was detained for fome time.

$44 HISTORY of rue 


CHAP. beyond expreffion, and ordering the doors to be 
Vi. made fa/t, fell upon the affembly with their 


Rg geno 


ese fwords and cudgels in fuch an unmerciful and 


unmanly manner, without regard to age or fex, 
cutting, bruifing and levelling thofe before 


_ them, as carried an appearance of open hofli- 


lity, beyond what had ever been feen in a time 
of peace. Six or eight together being knocked 
down were dragged out, and lay in the ken- 
nels fenfelefs, helplefs, and feemingly half dead 


with the wounds and bruifes they had received, . 


their blood lying vifible in the ftreets, fo that 


the paflengers and fpetators, compaffionating - 


this abufe of unoffending people, cried out, 
Shame upon the perpetrators, that fuch a re- 
femblance of maflacre fhould be committed in 
the ftreets of London; fome of whom, for their 
compaflionate expreffions, felt their fhare of the 
like treatment. ‘The foldiers being afked, why 
they could be fo cruel to their neighbours ? 
One of them anfwered,. Nay, we are more 
merciful than we ought to be, for we have 
orders to kill; and that his mufquet was 
double charged, as moft of thofe of the party 
were to his knowledge’. 


In confequence of this barbarous treatment 


feveral were ready to faint through lofs of blood; 
many 


* This looks as if fome of the perfecutors had fuffered their 
fpirits to be imbittered to fo intemperate a degree as to thirft 
for blood, as intending by this cruel ufage to provoke fome of 
this body to fome act of refiltance, and then make it a pretext, 


. for carnage and maffacre. But I own myfelf at a lofs to 


conceive what motive (except infatiable malice) any could have 
even to meditate fuch cruelty, which no attempts of this body, 
nor any fecurity to government gave the leaft fhadow of occa- 
fion for.
