THE QUAKERS UNMASKED, And clearly detected to be but the Spawn of Romish Frogs, Jesuits, and Franciscan Friars; sent from Rome to seduce the intoxicated Giddyheaded English Nation.  
By an Information taken upon Oath in the City of Bristol, January, 22. and some evident Demonstrations.  
By William Prynne of Swainswick, Esa  1 Sam. 14. 15. And there was Trembling (or Quaking) in the Host, in the field, and among the people: The Garrisons and the Spoilers, they also Trembled, and the earth Quaked; so it was a very great trembling (or Quaking.) 2 Tim. 3. 5, 6, 7, 8. Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof; FROM SUCH TURN AWAY. For of such sort are they which CREEP INTO HOUSES, and LEAD CAPTIVE silly women, laden with sins, led away WITH DIVERS LUSTS; Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the Truth. Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these resist the truth; MEN OF CORRUPT MINDS, Reprobate (or of NO JUDGEMENT) concerning the Faith.

The Quakers unmasked, and clearly detected to be but the Spawn of Romish Frogs; Jesuits, and Franciscan Popish Friars; sent from Rome, to seduce the intoxicated Giddyheaded English Nation.  
THE 2 Pet. 2. 1, 2, 3. But there were also false prophets among the people, even As there shall be false Teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction, And many shall follow their pernicious ways, by reason of whom, the way of Truth shall be evil spoken of, and through covetousness shall they with feigned words make Merchandise of you; whose judgement now of a long time lingreth not, and their damnation sl●mbreth not, etc. Is both a Prophecy of our times, and lively Character of our Nation, who had never more cause to mind and practise that caution of our blessed Sav our, Math. 7. 15, 16, 17. Beware of false Prophets which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are Ravening Wo'ves, ye shall know them by their fruits, than they have at this day; when such multitudes of Romish Wolves, Locusts, Caterpillars, of all Sects, Orders; (as Jesuits, Franciscans, Benedictines, Dominicans, and the like come freely over in whole Troops from foreign Seminaries and Cells, act their several parts and Pageants on the Theatre of our distracted English Church and State, to bring both of them to 〈◊〉 under all sorts of disguises, without any watches or searches at all to seclude, detect, eject, correct, their persons discover their pernicious Impostures, or prevent their designs against us. It was God's complaint of old, Jer. 12. 7, 9, 11. I have forsaken my House, I have left mine Heritage, I have given the dearly beloved of my Soul into the hands of her Enemies. Mine Heritage is unto me as a speckled bird, all the Birds round about are against her; Come ye, assemble all the Beasts of the field, come to devour. Many Pastors have destroyed my Vineyard, they have trodden my Portion under foot, they have made my pleasant portion a desolate Wilderness. They have made it desolate, and being desolate, it mourneth unto me; the whole land is desolate, because no man layeth it to heart. And may it not be our complaint, (at least in respect of the purity, sincerity, practical power of Religion, Church Discipline and Order, if not of our Civil Rights and Liberties) at this very instant. Compare but the Stationer's Beacons fired, with Ramsy the Jesuits examination at Newcastle (June 1653.) my Rome's Masterpiece, The Popish Royal Favourite, Hidden works of Darkness brought to public Light, my Epistle to the second part of A Seasonable, Legal, and Historical Vindication of the Fundamental Liberties and Laws of England, and this ensuing late Information, taken before the Town-Clark, and Magistrates of the City of Bristol concerning the New Sect of QUAKERS, or SHAKERS' (derived rather from profane Belshazzar, Dan. 5. 9 And those the Prophet David thus prays against, Psal. 69. 23. Let their eyes be darkened that they see not, and MAKE THEIR LOINS CONTINVALLY TO SHAKE; then from that perfect Evangelical Spirit and love of God which casteth out fear, shaking, torment, and makes the Saints always rejoice in God's love and favour, 1 John 4. 4. Phillip 4. 4. Rom. 5. 2) lately brought into, and set up in England by Franciscan Friars and Jesuits sent from Rome, who I spread themselves like Gangrenes or Locusts over most parts of the Nation; and make the very Pillars of our Church, State, and whole Land to shake and tremble; and then we may (by way of seasonable admonition) conclude of them, their Disciples, all other New Sects and separate Conventicles, of late years erected amongst us by them and their Confederates, in every corner in St. John's words, 1 Epist. 2. 18, 19 Little children it is the last time, and as ye have heard that Antichrist shall come, EVEN NOW ARE THERE MANY ANTICHRISTS: whereby we know that it is the last time. They went out from us, but they, were not of us, for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us; but they went out, that it might be made manifest, that they were not at all of us: which will evidently appear by;  
The INFORMATION of George Cowlishaw of the City of Bristol aforesaid Ironmonger, taken the 22. day of January, 1654.  
Who informeth ON HIS OATH: that in the Month of September last, this Informant had some discourse in Bristol with one Coppinger, an Irish man, formerly a School-fellow of his, that came purposely thither for his passage into Ireland, who told this Informant, THAT HE HAD LIVED IN ROME AND ITALY Eight or Nine Years, and had taken upon him THE ORDER OF A FRIAR OF THE FRANCISC AN COMPANY: And he told this Informant, that he had been AT LONDON lately for some months, and whilst he was there, he had been at all the Churches, and Meetings, public and private, that he could hear of, and that none came so near him, As the Quakers: And being at a meeting of the Quakers, he there met with two of his acquaintance in Rome (the which two persons were of the same Franciscan Order and Company) that were now become Chief Speakers amongst the Quakers, and he himself had spoke among the Quakers in London about thirty times, and was well approved of amongst them. And this Informant further saith, that the said Mr. Coppinger asked him, what kinds of opinions in Religion there were in Bristol? and this Informant told him, That there were several opinions and judgements: and not naming any opinions of the Quakers; the said Mr. Coppinger asked him, whether there had been any Quakers in Bristol? And the Informant answered him, NO. Whereupon the said Mr. Copinger told him, the said Informant, two or three times That if he did love his Religion and his Soul, he should not hear them: Whereupon this Informant told him, that he thought none of them would come to Bristol: who expressly replied, that if this Informant would give him five pounds, he would make it five hundred pounds, if some Quakers did not come to Bristol within three weeks or a month then following. And on the morrow following the said Coppinger departed this City for Ireland, his native place, and about eighteen days after, there came to this City [Most likely his two fellow Franciscan Friars forementioned, who have there done much hurt and gained many Disciples; some whereof disturbed two of the Ministers publicly in the Church, and assaulted, reviled one of them in the streets very lately] two persons that bear the name of Quakers.  
This is a true Copy of the original Information taken upon Oath at Bristol as aforesaid, the 22. January, 1654., from whence the Reader and whole Nation may take notice, especially those in present power, who should prevent such dangerous growing mischiefs with greatest care, not to connive at them any longer.  
1. That there are multitudes of Romish Emissaries and Vermin now residing and wand'ring up and down freely amongst us, to seduce and divide the people, by setting up New Sects and Separate Congregations in all places, and broaching new Notions and Opinions of all sorts, or old Heresies or Blasphemies; not saying Masses, praying to Saints and Images, or crying up the Pope's Supremacy, etc. as heretofore. 2. That they are the chief Speakers and Rulers in most Separate Congregations, and particularly amongst the Quakers, amongst whom the Franciscan Friars act their parts as well as the Jesuits.  
3. That they have their several Missions and Directions into all parts from their generals and Superiors, of their respective orders, residing commonly in London (where they have a CONSISTORY AND COUNCIL sitting, that Rules all the Affairs of the things of England;) besides fixed officers in every Diocese) & are all fore-acquainted both with the places and times of their several Missions; seeing Coppinger could so certainly predict the time of their Mission and coming to Bristol, where they have done much harm, and assaulted, disturbed the Ministers both in public and private.  
4. That the Popes, and these his Emissaries chief endeavours are, to draw the people from our Churches, public Congregations, Ordinances, Ministers, Religion and to 
* See Thomas Cam●●ella de Monarchia Hispanica c. 25, 27.  divide and Crumble us into as many Sects, Separate Conventicles, as they have Popish Orders; and thereby into as many civil parties, factions, as possibly they can, to ruin us thereby, Mat. 12. 25, 27.  
5. That by this their New Stratagem and Liberty, they have (under the Disguises of being Quakers, Seekers, Anabaptists, Independents, Ranters, Dippers, Anti-Trinitarians, Antiscripturists and the like) gained more Proselytes, Disciples, and done more harm in eight or nine years' space to the Church and Realm of England, more prejudice, dishonour, scandal to our Religion and Ministers, than ever they did by saying Mass, or Preaching, Printing any points of grossest Popery in 80. years' time heretofore And if not speedily, diligently, restrained, repressed, will soon utterly overturn both our Church, Religion, Ministry, and State too in conclusion, having already brought them to sad confusions and distractions.  
Now that which gives great cause of suspicion, that these Quakers are either disguised Franciscan Friars, or their seduced Disciples and Emissaries, is,  
1. Their rambling about from place to place by two and two together, to vent and spread their Errors; as the Franciscan Friars use by the 
* See Regula Fratrum minorum sub Franciso M●●itantium. Ven. 150●.  Rules of their order are bound to do, and the Franciscans did here of late. 2. Their use of vile and coarse array and condemning not only all Pride and Luxury, but lawful decency in apparel in themselves and their Proselytes, in imitation of the 
* See Surius & Riba ●●●…era, in vita & Regula Fratrum Minorum Sanct● Francisc▪  Franciscans.  
3. Their persuading people to desert their lawful Callings, employments, and to embrace a kind of idle, Monkish, lazy life, and ramble about from place to place to vent their pretended Visions, Revelations, Propheeys, Messages, and New Lights; A practice usual with Franciscan Friars and St Francis their Founder. 4. Their rude and uncivil behaviour in refusing to salute, or show any reverential respect, honour, or humble deportment towards Magistrates, or other persons of what quality soever, either in words, or Gestures, (of which the rude cinical Franciscans are most guilty of all other Popish orders) contrary to express Scripture, Precepts and Precedents.

Rom. 16. 15. 7. 9 to 17. 2 Thess 3. 17. may teach these rude Quakers and their Disciples far better manners and civility, both in their gestures, behaviours, and words, than now they exercise.  
5. Their Doctrines, That the Saints are perfectly holy in this life, and do not sin, being able to stand perfect in their own power: That they are as equally Holy, Just, Good, and Free from sin, as Christ and God himself: maintained by

It is the observation of many learned intelligent

Practices, are interlarded, and mixed with some Jesuitical and Popish Tenants, Opinions, Ceremonies, and Practices; by which we may as visibly discover a Jesuit, a Popish Priest, or Friar in them, as we may a Lion by his paw. And nothing (in my judgement) more clearly detects the Popish Friars, Priests, Jesuits, to be the principal Inventors of, erectors, actors, rulers, Speakers amongst our Quakers, & other New sects; then their pretended,

And though they conceal their Jesuitism and grossest points of Popery from their Disciples at first, baiting their hooks only with pleasing Novelties, shows of Superlative Sanctity, and

Antichristian: As the Friars and Jesuits did heretofore in their Books and Discourses in their very language. And it is evident by some late instances, that they are Anti-magistratical as well as Anti-ministerial. Yea that these 
* See John Gilpins, and others printed Relations concerning the Quakers in the North.  Quakers use enchanted Potions, Braclets, Ribbons, Sorcery and Witchcraft, to intoxicate their Novices and draw them to their party; As Simon Magus bewitched the people of Samaria with his Sorceries, Acts 69. 11. and other seducing false teachers, bewitched the foolish Galatians, that they should not obey the truth, Gal. 3. 1. which Enchantments, Sorceries, Charms, Fascinations, and Exorcisms are very frequent amongst Popes, and Popish Priests, Monks, Friars, Jesuits, as you may read at large in Joannes, Wierus de Prestigiis Daemonum & Incantationibus. Basilae. 1568. especially l. 2. c. 7. l. 5. c. 2, 3. etc. Platina, Benno Cardinalis, Balleus, and others in the lives of Pope's Silvester, 2. Benedict the 9 John 20. and 21. and other Popes, who were all most infamous Magicians, Sorcerers, and Enchanters, by which black arts they got the Papacy. And Dell Rio, his Disquisitio Magie, and John Jee his Foot out of the Snare, London, 1624. will prove the Jesuits and Priests in Engand are still accustomed to them, to win and seduce their Proselytes. Whence we find this Scripture-expression concerning Romish Babylon, Revel. 18. 23. By thy SORCERIES were ALL THE NATIONS DECEIVED. Now for our Quakers, and others better instruction, I shall inform them by way of Caution of these considerable particulars, relating to their Agonies, Inspirations and Revelations.  
1. That the 
* Joannes Wi●rus de Prestigiis Daemonum. l. 1. c. 11. Petrus Thyaraeus de Demoniacis & obsessis, pars 1. c. 3. to 9 pars 2. c. 25, 27 Georgius Pistorius de Demonum ortu, Officiis, Illusionibus, etc. Isagoge. Basiliae, 1563.  Devil by God's permissions frequently doth cause and produce, by his own immediate power, extraordinary strange Convulsions, Contractions, Distortions, Agonies, Tremble, Quake, Shakes, Motions, Jestures of the Bodies, Members, Joints, Nerves, Muscles both of men and women, when, where, and in what manner he pleaseth; as we see by common experience in such persons as are either possessed by the Devil himself, or bewitched by his Instruments; and by the Convulsions, Trances, Quakings, Shakes, Gestures of Witches, Sorcerers and other, acted or possessed by the Devil; of which we have many examples in History and experience; and one recorded in the Gospel itself, Mar. 9 17. to 28.  
2. That it was the usual practice and custom of Devils heretofore by their Idolatrous Pagan Priests and Prophets to give answers in their temples, & oracles to their worshippers in Greece & other places, which of latter times and at this day is likewise frequent amongst the Pagan idolatrous Indians, by humane voices, nods, antique gestures; affictis sub inde gestibus Furentium, nonnunquam Ebriorum, alias Trementium, aut Ridiculae Gesticuiantibus, as 
* De Praestigiis Daemonum, l. 1. c. 1. p. 63.  Joanni Wierus relates out of Strapo Geogr. lib. 16. Their Priests (who were and are 
* See Purchas Pilg. l. 8. c. 6. l. 9 c. 6. Wierus de Praestigiis Dem l. 2 c. 3.4  usually Witches and Sorcerers) when they prophesied and gave answers to the people, being cast into strange real or feigned Ecstasies, Trances and Quaking fits, using sometimes the gestures of madmen, sometimes of Drunkards, other times of Quakers, Tremblers, and of ridiculous Antics; ofttimes howling, shaking their breasts, foaming at the mouth, and falling down in a swoon, (as some of our Quakers do now) as if they had the Falling sickness, the Devil in seeming entering into, and acting in them; as you may read at leisure in Wierus and Mr. Samuel Purchas his Pilgrimage, l. 9 cap. 5. l. 8. cap. 6. and elsewhere in his Voyages. Whether our Quakers Shaking-fits, Convulsions, Trances, Agonies, running 
* As William Strickland and others did at Kendal. See the Perfect Pharisee, London 1654. p. 20, 42, 43.  about naked into the open streets sometimes, and to particular Persons, Towns, Ministers, Magistrates, with pretended Messages, Prophecies and Oracles from God, (but really from the Devil himself) like so many distracted Bedlams, Drunkards, Antiques, Furies and Enthusiasts, are not exactly paralleled with, and originally derived from these Idolatrous Pagan Idol-priests, and the very Devil himself; I refer you to John Gilpin (a reclaimed Quaker) his late printed Relation touching his own Shaking-fits and Actions, (proceeding from the Devils possessing of, and acting in him, as he and others believed) and to those who have seen them in their Fits and Raptures; the wisest whereof are of that opinion, and many of the vulgar people too. These Quaking Fits and Trances were really and feignedly taken up, and imitated of late times by many Popish Priests, Monks, Nuns, and female Saints, as you may read at leisure in Surius, Ribadeniera, and other Collectors of their Lives and Legends: and which verified Coppingers relation, and Cowlishaw his oath; Mr. Tillam the Administrator of the Anabaptistical new-dipped Congregation at Hexam, near Newcastle, (a 
* See a False Jew discovered, anno 1653. p. 6, 1. 1.  Papist or Popish Priest of late, though now a zealous Anabaptist and Dipper) in his Banners, p. 24. professeth, That these Shakes, Tremble and Ecstasies, (now used by the Quakers) were derived from the FRANCISCAN FRIARS, as Mr. Tho. Weld Richard Priderux, Sam. Hammond, William Cole, William Durant, (five reverend Ministers in & near Newcastle) assure us in their Perfect Pharisee, under Monkish Holiness, manifesting itself in the generation of men called QUAKERS, London, 1654. p. 13. who by their Emissaries first infected the Northern parts about Kendal and Lancaster with this Sect, and now the Western parts by George Fox, John Audland, James Nayler, and other of their Disciples sent from thence, whose Heretical, Erroneous, Blasphemous opinions, and unchristian Practices, are solidly and fully refuted in this their Treatise.  
3. That as Heretics, Schismatics and seducers, do derive their Heresies, Doctrines, Practices from the very Devil himself, the Father of Lies, Lying prophecies, Heresies, Errors, as the Scripture attests in positive terms, 1 Kings 22. 21, 22, 23. 2 Chron. 18. 21, 22. Zech. 13. 2, 3, Rev. 18. 2 John 8. 44. 1 Tim. 4. 1, 2. 2 Thes. 2. 9, 10, 11. Rev. 16. 13, 14. Acts 13. 10. 1 John 3. 8. who frequently (to delude and seduce men with more facility) transforms himself and his Ministers into Angels of light, and Apostles of Christ, as if they were the only saints and Ministers of righteousness; when as in truth they still are but Devils, false Apostles, and deceitful workers or Impostors, as the Scripture expressly defines them, 2 Cor. 11. 13, 14, 15. as that Devil who tempted our Saviour to cast himself down from the pinnacle of the Temple, with a Scripture misapplied, and mutilated, was still a Devil, though he alleged Scripture to accomplish his designs (as his seducing Instruments now do) Math. 4. 5, 6, 7, 8. Luke 4. 9 to 13. So some Heretics and Seducers of old, as Simon Magus, Martion, Menander, Thedotus, Carpocrates, Eutyches, and others have actually traded with, received their Heretical Tenants from, and been possessed by the Devil himself; as 
* Lib. 3 de Excid: Heir:  Egesippus, 
* De Anima, li  Tertullian, 
* His: 5: c. 16. 33.  Eusebius, 
* Lib. 1, & 4. Fab:  Theodoret, 
* Haeres: 22. l. 3 c 3.  Epiphanius, 
* De Demoniacis pars 2. c 21. p. 55.  Petrus Thyareus, with others record: yea, many Popish Monks, Friars, Priests, Nuns, Papi●●s specially Females, have likewise been actually possessed, seduced, cast into strange, real, or feigned Ecstasies, Agonies, Shakes, convulsion Fits, Trances, and inspired with strange Revelations, Visions, Dreams, Fancies, Opinions, Prophecies and Enthusiasms by the very Devil himself, as you may read at large in Joannes Wierus De Praestigiis Daemonum; in Petrus Thyareus (a Jesuit) his Daemoniaci: hoc est, De obsessis à Spiritibus Daemoniorum Hominibus. Coloniae Agrip. 1598. and in Sir Edwin Sands his Europae Speculum. 1629. p. 169. where thus he writes. That the multitude of Indemoniati; (or persons possessed with the Devil) WHEREOF MOST ARE WOMEN, is so hugh in Italy, even as of witches in Savoy: of which some are daily cured in show, by their Enorcisms (being most of them Impostors to cheat the people) but for one that is holpen, almost twenty are either past their curing, or otherwise (as in Counterfeit) unwilling to be cured.  
4. That William Lindan. Dialog. 3. Dubitantii & Petrus Thyreus De Daemoniatis pars. 2. c. 21. p. 56, 57, 58. write expressly; that some of the Ringleaders and Captains of the Anabaptists, and some of their new Converts, have not only communion and familiarity with the Devil, but in all probability, are likewise actually possessed by him, though they be not raging mad, and furious: Because some of them have (not only such raptures, Agonies, Fits and Quake as persons actually possessed by the Devil use to have) so soon as they have deserted the Catholics Religion, and adhered to that sect: but Mox, post haustum poculum, aut sumptam buccellam norant Sacras literas legere, etc. Presently after the drinking of some potion, or eating of a Sop, which their chief Apostles give them, they know how to read the sacred Scriptures without any teaching, though they could not read before; to dispute of divine things they knew not before which they allege to oppugn the true faith and Religion; and forget so soon as they return to the true Religion; of which Thyreus gives two instances on his own knowledge; one of a Tailor; the other of a Country peasant. Now who (writes he) can doubt, that this proceeds from the evil spirit dwelling in them. For it is apparent that neither the sop meat nor drink they took, had any such virtue as to instil the knowledge of the sacred Scriptures into them. Neither is it God who confers this learning on them, seeing they are enemies to his true faith and religion, and lead (usually) a most impure life. Therefore since they get it not by study, nor the instruction of any man, from whence should they have it, but from the Evil Spirit that dwell within them? Besides, what is the cause, that so soon as they return to the Tents of the Catholics again, they forget all or most of the things they remembered before, and know not how to read, though they could read as well as most, whiles they continued in theirheresy: but that the Devil, their Tutor forsakes & leaves them to themselves? Upon which grounds some men justly suspect & conceive, THAT IT IS NOT THE ANABAPTISTS PROPERLY WHO SPEAK SCRIPTURES THUS BY THEMSELVES, sed Daemons in Anabaptistis loqui; BUT THAT THE DEVILS SPEAK IN THE ANABAPTISTS: even as when persons possessed by the Devil speak strange Languages they knew not before, 
* See Tostarus Abulensis in 8? Math. qu. 114.  it is not themselves but the Devil in them who form the voices and the sounds. which he proves more largely. pars: 1. c. 17. p. 44, 45.  
From all these particulars, I refer it to the most serious consideration of all our Quakers, Shakers' and other Anabaptistical Enthusiasts, as likewise of those who are addicted to their ways, or tolerate their courses without opposition; whether all their Shakes, Quake, Ecstasies, Revelations, Inspirations, Prophecies, and new Illuminations, which are real and not counterfeit (as many of them are) proceed not from the very 
* See the perfect Pharisee p. 41. etc.  Delusions and Inspirations of the Devil himself, and his Instruments, Ministers sent over from Jesuitical and Popish Ceminaries, Cells, Monasters, to seduce them by such Sorceries and Impostures as these from our Reformed Church and Religion, rather than from the Impulses, Dictates, Illuminations, Revelations, of God's holy Spirit? And so much the rather because many of their Doctrines, Positions, Practices are not only mere Monkish and Popish, but also directly contrary and destructive to the two great Ordinances of God in the world, Magistracy and Ministry, so much commended by God's Spirit in the Gospel; Yea some of them most Atheistical, Irreligious, Blasphemous, Diabolical, Vnchristians, Vnevangelical, diametrically contrary to the Scripture and Fundamental Principals of the Gospel, dictated by God's Spirit; as you may read at large, in The perfect Pharise under Monkish Holiness, etc. in the Generation of men called QUAKERS; To which I shall refer the Reader, where in the Blasphemies, Heresies, Popish Tenants of John Autland, George Fox, and James Nayler (three of the principle Quakers sent to Bristol) are so fully detected and solidly refuted, that it made them ashamed to continue in their former Quarters, and to pretend a New divine Mission from God, to spread their Heresies & blasphemies in the West (though not so fit for Quakers as that Northern colder Climate of England and Scotland, where many Shake and Quake for cold alone, without the Spirits motion) whether they deserve to be sent packing again, or, into some sorraign Franciscan Cells, or Jesuits seminaries, from whence their Sect was immediately propagated, by Jesuits and Friars sent from thence, to act the parts of Independants and Sectaries, to blow up differences and contentions amongst us; as you may read at large in Mr. Edward's his Gangrena; part third. p. 99 and in a Grandees printed Speech in the painted Chamber. 4. Sept. 1654. p. 16, 17. to which I shall refer you for fuller Conviction.  
Let all our Rulers, Ministers and people therefore, who have any care of their own or others Souls; or our Churches, Kingdoms, safety and settlement, now seriously consider that speech of our Saviour Christ himself, John 10. 1. 10, 11, 12. Verily, verily, I say unto you; He that entereth not by the Door into the Sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, (as these new Romish Apostles and wand'ring Predicants do) THE SAME IS A THIEF and A ROBBER The thief cometh not BUT FOR TO STEAL, AND TO KILL, DESTROY. The good Shepherd giveth his life for the Sheep: But he that is an hireling, and not the Shepherd, whose own the Sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the Sheep and fleeth, and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the Sheep. And such false Shepherds and hirelings (whether Ecclesiastical or Temporal) who through negligence, cowardice, or any other design, shall

Fredericus Broeckrous in his Epistle Dedicatory to the States of Holland and West-Frizland, before his Antidotum Errorum praecipuorum in Tractatu de Deo, etc. D. Conradi Vorstii, observes and proves at large; That nothing is more dishonest or more pernicious to mankind and humane society, than the toleration & propagation of false religions, contrary to the doctrine of the Prophets and Apostles. 1. Because men are hereby

Because false religions are the most deadly poisons to men's souls, which bring a speedy and infallible death & damnation to all Eternity if persisted in. 4. Because by them men are made twofold more the children of hell than they were before, Mat. 23. 16. 5. Because thereby all Piety is undermined, abolished; and in Christian States all Wickedness, Impiety, Cruelty, Folly and Wretchedness, instilled into the hearts of men. 6. Because by differences and multiplicity of opinions and controversies in Religion, the greatest of people are brought; 1. To doubt of the truth of Christian Religion. 2. To slight and neglect it, together with the Ministry and public Ordinances. 3. To give over prayer, and private family-Duties. 4. To oppose Religion, and resist the propagation of the Gospel. 5. In conclusion, to renounce all Religion, and turn professed Sceptics, Seekers, Atheists (as we find by sad experiences.) 6. Because Pagans, Infidels, and others, are discouraged from embracing the doctrine of Christianity, when they find so many controversies and disputes even among Christians themselves: And the common Enemies of the true reformed Religion, and Romish Emissaries hereby take occasion to calumniate that true Religion we profess, and to seduce the ignorant people from it, to embrace their damnable and superstitious practices: Upon which considerations,

b In my Sword of Christian Magistracy supported, and Truth triumphing over falsehood.  Theodosius, and all zealous Christian Emperors, Kings, Princes, and Governors truly fearing God, in all ages, have made it their principal care & study to maintain peace and unity, concord in the purity and principles of Religion; to suppress all Heresies, Errors, Schisms, repugnant thereunto, both by Laws and penalties, as I have elsewhere largely evinced against all oppugners of the civil Magistrates coercive power, and Jurisdiction in matters of Religion, who never yet returned the least reply thereunto in sundry years, though challenged to do it.  
We shall conclude all with this word to Magistrates, Cant. 2. 15. Take for us the Foxes, the little Foxes that spoil the Vines, for our Vines have tender grapes. Search after restrain, secure, prosecute, punish all Romish Foxes, Wolves, Conspirators, Enemies, Traitors to our Church and Religion, (according to our Laws and Statutes yet in force against them) with as great diligence, care, zeal, as you now search after, restrain, secure, prosecute any real, or imaginary Plotters, Conspirators, Enemies, Traitors to the Kingdom, Nation, or to yourselves: And be as vigilant, as industrious to secure Gods and our Church's cause, interest, as your own, that so you may turn away God's wrath, and inherit Phineas bis praise and benediction for his zeal in this kind, Num. 25. 11, 12. 23. with these four Apostolical Admonitions and Cautions to the people, recorded in the Gospel, as the best Preservatives against Seducers, Rom. 16. 17, 18. Now I beseech you Brethren mark them which cause DIVISIONS and OFFENCES, contrary to the Doctrine which you have received, & AVOID THEM. For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own bellies, and by good words and fair speeches, deceive the hearts of the simple. But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving & being deceived. But continue thou in the 
2. Tim. 3. 13. 14.  things which thou hast heard and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them, Ephes. 4. 14. Henceforth be 〈◊〉 more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with even wind of doctrine, by the slight of men, and cunning craftiness whereby they lie in wait to deceive. And 2. John 10. 11. If there come any unto you, and bring not this Doctrine, receive him mot into your house, neither bid him God speed, for he that biddeth him God speed IS PARTAKER OF HIS EVIL DEEDS, with this sad Meme●●… to such who are reduced by these Impostors, 2. Thess. 2. 9, 10, 11, 12, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power, and Signs, & lying wonders; and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish, because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved: And for this cause God shall send them strong delusions, that they shall believe a lie; that they might all be damned, who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness: and like the unjust Judge, Luke 18. 2. 4. Neither fear God, nor regard or reverence men. 2 Cor. 11. 13, 14, 15. For such are false Apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the Apostles of Christ. And no marvel, for Satan himself is transformed into an Angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his Ministers be also transformed as the Ministers of Righteousness, whose end shall be according to their works.  
With these sacred Scriptures to these New quaking male Prophets whom God never sent abroad to seduce the people of England, but the very Father of Lie. Jer. 14. 14, 15, 16. ch. 23. 21. to 33. ch. 27. 15. ch. 29. 31. These Prophet's prophecy lies in my name, I SENT THEM NOT, NEITHER HAVE I COMMANDED THEM, NEITHER SPOKE UNTO THEM: They prophesy unto you a false vision & divination, and a thing of nought, and the deceit of their heart. I have not sent these Prophets, yet they run; I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied; I have heard what the Prophets said, that prophecy lies in my name, saying, I have dreamt, I have dreamt: How long shall this be in the hearts of the Prophets that prophesy lies? yea they are Prophets of the deceit of their own heart, which think to cause my people to forget my name by THEIR DREAMS which they TELL EVERY MAN TO HIS NEIGHBOUR. Therefore behold, I am against the Prophets saith the Lord, that steal my 
See Alphonsi d Vargas. Relatio, p. 317. 330.  word every one from his neighbour; that use their tongues, and say, be saith: Against them that do prophecy false dreams, and do tell them, & cause my people to err by their lies, yet I sent them not, nor commanded them; therefore they shall not profit this people at all saith the Lord: FOR THEY PROPHESY A LIE unto you; for I have not sent them, saith the Lord, yet prophesy a Lie in my name, that I might drive you out, and that ye might perish; ye, and the Prophets that prophesy unto you; for I will power their wickedness upon them. With these Gospel-Texts to our New Quaking Female Prophetesses, who now (in imitation of the New Order of Jesuitesses, who out of a pretended zeal of propagating the Gospel, and converting Souls to God, presumed to wander abroad, and preach publicly in England and elsewhere to women and others, above the imbecility, and beyond the modesty of their sex for sundry years, to the great scandal of Religion, till at last they were excommunicated and totally suppressed by Pope Vrban the third, his Bull, Anno Dom. 1631. printed at Rome 1632.) presume to speak publicly to the people in some of their Congregations, as well as to deliver certain pretended Messages from the Lord (who never sent them) to private Ministers and others. 1 Cor. 14. 33, 34, 35, 37. Let your Women keep silence in your Churches (or Assemblies) FOR IT IS NOT PERMITTED UNTO THEM TO SPEAK; but, they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the Law. And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their Husbands (if married) at home. For it is a shame for women to speak in the Church: For God is not the Author of confusion, (or tumult) but of Peace, as in all the Churches of the Saints. If any man thinks himself to be a Prophet, or Spiritual; let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you (and this against women speaking publicly in the Church) are the Commandments of the Lord: Therefore their speaking against God's Commandments in this sort, is only by the instinct, mission, and command of the very Devil, in opposition to these Gospel-precepts: thus seconded again by the Holy Ghost, 1 Tim. 2. V. 11, 12, 13, 14. Let the Women learn in silence with all subjection: For I suffer not a woman to teach, to Usurp authority over the Man; but TO BE IN SILENCE, for Adam was first framed, than Eve: and Adam was not deceived, but the Woman being deceived was in the transgression. And let those who run after, and listen to these Feminine Predicants remember that of Isa. 27. V. 11. The Women come and set them on fire; for it is a people of no understanding; therefore he that made them will not have mercy on them, and he that form them will show them no favour.  
And with this complaint and prayer to God himself, Psal. 60. ●, 2. O God thou hast cast us off, thou hast broken us, thou hast been displeased: O turn thyself to us again: Thou hast made the land to tremble; thou hast broken (and 
* So the old Translation renders it.  divided it) O heal the breaches thereof, FOR IT SHAKETH.

A Postscript.  
THat the Jesuits (The 
See Ludovicus Lucius H st. Jesuitica, P. 293, 235, 328, 336, 447, 592, 624.  Pests and Perturbers of all Republics, who domineer by discords, tumults, Sects and Schisms) (as well as Franciscan Friars) have a principal hand in erecting, promoting the new sect of Quakers or Shakers' lately sprung up, and much increased amongst us, and that by Diabolical delusions, sorceries, enchantments, practices, to divide us as much as possible, and extirpate our Ministers and Religion; these particulars superadded to the premises, may more than probably persuade, if not satisfactorily convince all intelligent English Protestants, and our Quakers likewise; for whose information I have made them public, being unknown to most, who are utterly ignorant of the stratagems of these Imps of Satan, to seduce them, to their eternal ruin.  
1. That Ignatius Loyola, the Father of the Jesuits, and first Founder General of their Order (at first a Soldier by profession) when he began to play the Impostor, Seducer, and institute his New Sect, pretended a divine Call from God, and Jesus Christ, appearing to him, whereupon he left his former Profession, House, Habitation, cast off his costly Apparel, (which he gave away to the poor) clothed himself in course Sackeloth and ragged beggarly clothes, lying upon the bare ground without a bed, wandered up and down in them from place to place, like a pilgrim, professing the study of poverty, penance, Mortification and contempt of the world, leading a most austere life for a time, mostly eating little else but course bread, drinking nothing but cold water, fasting the greatest part of the week, except on the Lordsday; conversing with the poorest and meanest sort, teaching and preaching to them often gratis in the open streets and woods, and all other places where he came, without any Ordination or licence at all from the Bishops or Clergy, exhorting them to repentance austerity of life, and contempt of all earthly things; whereby he got great estimation amongst the rude people, (especially for his pains in instructing their children and them without any Reward) gained many followers and some Scholars likewise to be his Companions: Maffaeus Vegius, Ribadeniera, Joannis Eusebius Niremberger, Hasenmullerus (all Jesuits) record at large in his Life, with Hospinian, and Ludovicus Lucius in their Historia Jesuitica: And is not this the very practice of our Quakers and Shakers' now, who exactly imitate him herein?  
2. That Ignatius upon his first resolution to enter into this new strict kind of Life, and erect his New Jesuitical Order, fell into a fit of Quaking and Trembling, as Ribadeniera (his Disciple) and others record in his Life: Yea, Hasenmullerus (who was a Jesuit sundry years, and lived in divers Jesuits Colleges) in the end of his Jesuitical History, with Ludovicus Lucius Historiae Jesuiticae, l. I. C. I. p. 8. record in express terms, from the Testimony of Tunianus the Jesuit. That Ignatius ITA A DAEMONIBUS EXAGITATUM, was so vexed and SHAKEN BY DEVILS (not God or his spirit) both in his Dinner, Supper, MASSES; and likewise in his Recreations, that he powereth forth the most cold sweat of death in great plenty; tandem vero CUM▪ TREMORE ipsum objisse, and that at last he died Quaking, o●… with a TREMBLING, having a most black countenance. Yea, 
† See Speculum Jesuiticum, p. 3, 4. 26.  Ribadeniera himself, in the life of Ignatius l. 1. c. 5. 17. records; That Ignatius had many conflicts with the Devil, who frequently appeared to him in the form of a Serpent, and that he whipped his companion Xavier whiles he was praying. And l. 5. c. 9 That the Devil painted Ignatius so lively and exactly in his colours, that Laynes his companion much admired at it And yet cap. 8. and 10. he relates; That Ignatius cured one possessed with a Devil with one word: that the Devil in another possessed one, was cast out by the Jesuits, only naming Ignatius to him; saying, Name not Ignatius to me, whom I most hate of all: And another Devil in a Maid possessed, said; That Ignatius his greatest enemy, was in heaven after his death among other Founders of holy Religious Orders. Let our Quakers and their Disciples hereupon seriously consider and examine, whether their Quaking fits be not derived from this Father of the Jesuits; and proceed not originally from the very Devils themselves, as his fits did▪ Yea, let them take heed they be not vexed and shaken by Devils as he was, and die Quaking and Trembling as he did, with a most black countenance, as if he had been strangled by the Devils, which made him a Quaker first, and then a Seducer; whose Disciples have made most Christian Kingdoms, Churches (especially our own of late years) both to Quake and Tremble, and Shake them in pieces.  
It is the observation of learned 
a Gulielmus Ronde letius, Methodus curandi Morbos, c. 23. 39 See Wierus de Praestigiis Daemonum, l. 1. c. 11.  Physicians; That Shaking Palsies, Quakings, Tremble of the Members and Joints, are very dangerous diseases, proceeding from the coldness and weakness of the Brain or Nerves, cold phlegm, extraordinary cold weather: (which makes most shake without any divine influences of God's Spirit) sudden fears or frights, extraordinary Venery, Drunkenness, frequent handling of Quicksilver, Poisonous fumes of Henbane, white Poppy or the like: And sometimes from Sorcery and the Devil himself contracting, shaking the Nerves and Muscles of the body in a violent manner: That if they grow inveterate they are hardly curable, and bring certain Death. Let our Quakers and new Trembling paralytics, examine, whether their Quakings and Tremble (if real, not feigned, as some of them doubtless are) be not rather Diseases and Infirmities, than the motions of God's Spirit in them, proceeding from some of these natural causes, (especially overmuch Venery, some of them having been lately taken shaking with their female Proselytes between the Sheets in a warm Bed, as I am credibly informed) or from the Devil or his Instruments, Sorceries, Enchantments; and let them speedily seek out for cure, lest they prove deadly to their Bodies and Souls too, in conclusion, as Ignatius his Quaking fits did.  
3. That many Jesuits and their Scholars study the art of Sorcery and Magic, and are Arch-Magicians; affirming blasphemously, that Paul himself received so great Revelations from Heaven, by being instructed in the Art of Magic: that St. John had skill in this Art; yea, that Christ himself was the most absolute Magician of all others; as Joannis Cambilhonus, (once a Jesuit in Styria) in his Relatio de abstructoribus Jesuitarum Artibus & Studiis, Printed 1608. & Ludovicus Lucius Hist. Jesuitica, lib. 1. cap. 8. p. 172, 173. record. Yea, these two Authors, together with the 
* See Ludovicus Lucius, Hist. Jesuitica, p. 172 396, 432.  University of Paris, in their Answer to Peer Cotton the Jesuit, (Confessor to King Henry the 4. of France) Thuanus. hist. I. 132. physiogmonia Jesuitica, Printed Lugduni 1610. & Speculum Jesuiticum p. 106, and do all attest: That this Father Cotton was an Arch-Magician, and the best skilled in this black art of any of their Society: That the Jesuits themselves affirmed he had a Magical Glass, wherein he would plainly represent to the King what ever he desired to know; and that there was no thing done or consulted so secretly in the most private Cabinets of other Monarches, which he could not disclose and reveal by the help of that constellated, or rather condiabolated Glass. That by the help of this Magician, the Jesuits hoped to convert one of the greatest Protestant Princes of the Empire to their Religion and Party: That he consulted with the Devil many times, and demanded his resolution of sundry questions and doubts, which he entered into his Magick-book; which Devil possessed one Adrian Fresna, a Maid at St. Victors in France, which he used as his instrument to predict many strange things: particularly, he demanded of the Devil that possessed her these Questions: What should be the issue of the Conversion of the Lord Lavalii, and of the Counsellors of the City of Gema Geneva? How long Heresy should continue? What hopes there were of the Conversion of such and such particular persons? How Heretics might be most easily secluded from the Court? What was most profitable for the Conversion of all Heretics? By what Sermons, Books, Means, the people might be most benefited? What danger might be created by the Devils against the Jesuits Society? Whether God would permit him to know by him, the time wherein the heresy of Calvin should be extinguished? And (that which most concerned England) Qua ratione converti Rex Anglae, Regina, & Regnum maxim & facile quaeant? By what means THE KING, QUEEN, AND REALM OF ENGLAND MIGHT MOST OF ALICE AND EASILY BE CONVERTED TO THE ROMAN RELIGION? Whether our Jesuitical Impostors, Quakers, and Enthusiasts do not now study, practise the selfsame Art of Magic, Sorcery, and consult with the very Devil himself in their Diabolically inspired, possessed Prophets and Prophecies, demand not the like Questions, Resolutions from them, and the Devil acting, speaking, Prophesying in them, as this Jesuit Cotton did from this possessed Girl, and the Devil in her, let their own practices and consciences resolve them and others? And how truly they act the Jesuits parts in these particulars, 
* See Speculum Jesuiticum. p. 59, 60, 62, 63.  Hasenmullerus (a reclaimed Jesuit) in his Historia Jesuitica, cap. 8. records. That John th●… Jesuit in his Sermon, 15. October, 1583. publicly said, Believe me, the Devils follow us Jesuits every where. That the Monks of Vldaric would have cast out a Devil out of one possessed, but he would not depart: Being interrogated, why he would not? He answered, I will not depart before my three Sons (so he termed the Jesuits) who are passing from Delinga hither, are come; who no sooner entered the house, but the Devil departed out of the person possessed: most likely to enter into these Sons of his, whom the Devils every where follow. Yet the 
* Hasenmullerus Hist. Jesuitica c. 8. Speculum Jesuiticum p. 62, 63. Petrus Thyraeus de Daemoniacis.  Jesuits boast of many Devils ejected by them, out of their feminine Proselytes and others: particularly, the Rector of the Jesuits at Vienna records; that a Maid possessed with Devils, who could not be dispossessed by any Exorcisms, coming at length to their Jesuits Church was there freed, and no less than 156152. Devils (if the Jesuit computed a right) were there cast out of her; the last of them seeming to him to be Luther's Tutor, because after the manner of the Lutherans, he spoke many things against their Society and Religion. Surely this Jesuitical Rector, had very intimate familiarity with these Devils, who knew both their Number (being so incredulous) and could so accurately distinguish between them. Yet some Devils there were in women, whom they could not dispossess, and derided all their Jesuitical Exorcisms. Let all Christians than beware these incarnate Devils and their Emissaries, lest they be really possessed by the Devil with whom they are so familiar, and who accompanies them every where.  
4. That the Jesuits send forth their Emissaries and Agents into Protestant Kingdoms, Churches, States, under the disguises of Soldiers, Merchants, Mechanics, Physicians, Surgeons, Travellers, Exiles for Religion, and pretended Converts to the Protestant Religion, in all sorts of h●its, disguises, the better to conceal their persons, the easier to intrude themselves into the Courts, Company of all Protestant Princes, Nobles, Ministers, and persons of all ranks, to fish out their Secrets, insinuate themselves into their favours, poison them with their Errors, divide them in their Judgements, excite them to War upon and destroy each other by their mutual discords, and accomplish their Treasonable designs against them, to their ruin: Permitting and dispensing with them freely, to resort openly to the Sermons, Churches and Assemblies of Protestants, to dispute and speak against Popery, to eat flesh on Fasting days, and allowing their perverted Disciples to do the like, to feign themselves the most Zealous Protestants, to be present in the Senates, Parliaments and Councils of those of the Reformed Religion; to consent to the apprehension and dissipation of Papists by severe Laws against them, together with the rest, that so they may the better conceal themselves, discover, divert or hinder the Consultations against the Papists, promote the Popes and Papists affairs with more facility, propagate the Popish Religion upon all occasions, and give them timely notice of any Intentions against them upon any urgent necessity: provided always that they be secretly Catholics, and submit themselves wholly to the beck and counsels of the Jesuits, as their Instruments and Intelligencers: as you may read at large, in Jesuitica per Vnitas Belgii Provincias Negociatio, printed Anno 1616 (containing the Instructions in this kind given to Jesuits by their Superiors sent into the Netherlands to embroil, divide, ruin them) in Joannis Cambilhonus de Abstructionibus Jesuitarum Artibus & Studiis: printed 1608. & Ludovicus Lucius Hist. Jesuitica p. 170, 175, 676, 677, 678. Therefore it is no wonder, that their Emissaries, and Disciples to effect the utter ruin of our Protestant Kingdoms, Churches, Religion, now thus disguise themselves amongst us, to promote their most dangerous Designs against them, by the self same means and stratagems now.  
5. That the Jesuits make and profess it, one of their principal Designs, to withdraw, alienate the people's affections from, stir them up against the true Protestant Ministers and Preachers of the Gospel, and to cast them out and take them quite out of their way, that so they may with more facility and speed seduce, devour, their Flocks, domineer and set up Popery in all places without opposition. Witness

We and ours shall have no peace in Augusta (or in Germany) unless we take care, Evangelicos Concionatores ejici ac tolli; that the Preachers of the Gospel be ejected and removed out of the way. By our Councils THE EVANGELICAL PREACHERS WERE CASTANNA OUT OF VIENNA: Whereupon our Society do now there teach in peace, and rule all things according to their hearts desire. Seconded with their

To omit other later Precedents in Austria and elsewhere. And is not this the Quakers and their Disciples principal design, endeavour, labour now, to withdraw the people wholly from, and excite them against, and stir them up to reject, suppress, renounce all our lawful Orthodox Ministers, and Evangelical Preachers, as false Guides, dumb Dogs, Seducers of the People, Deceivers, Antichrists? etc. Their railing Pamphlets, Preachments, and pretended Messages to them from heaven; enjoining them to come down out of their Pulpits, to Preach no more hereafter, etc. contrary to Christ's own express commands unto them. Matth: 28. 19, 20. Mark 16. 15. Acts 10. 42. c. 16. 10. Rom. 10. 15. 1 Cor. 1. 17. Phil. 1. 16, 17, 18. 2 Tim. 4. 17. 1 Tim. 2. 7. 1 Pet. 1. 12. especially 1 Cor. 9 16. Though I preach the Gospel, I have nothing to glory of; for NECESSITY IS LAID UPON ME; and woe is me if I preach not the Gospel. And 2 Tim. 4. 1, 2, 3. I charge thee before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearance, and his Kingdom. PREACH THE WORD, BE INSTANT IN SEASON AND OUT OF SEASON, reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long-suffering and Doctrine (mark the reason, suitable to our times and Quakers) FOR THE TIME WILL COME (and now is the time) that they WILL NOT ENDURE SOUND DOCTRINE, but after their own lust shall they heap to themselves Teachers, having itching ears. And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto Fables. But watch thou in all things, endure affliction, do the work of an Evangelist, make full proof of thy Ministry. Certainly then those Quakers, and their seduced Disciples; who say unto the Seers, see not, and to the Prophets prophesy not, prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceit: Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the Path, cause the holy One to cease from before us; are like those Jews of old, Esay 30. 10, 11. Wherefore let them there read their Doom, Character, and what spirit they are of, v. 8, 9 (and I beseech them, with all others to observe it well) from Gods own mouth. Now go, write it before them in a Table, and note it in a Book, that it may be for the time to come, for ever and ever; that this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the Law of the Lord: But is this all? No, there is a Judgement with a Witness, pursuing all such: Verse 12, 13, 14. Wherefore thus saith the holy One of Israel: Because ye despise this word, and trust in sraud and perverseness and stay thereon; therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in an high wall, whose breaking cometh suddenly at an instant. And he shall break it as the breaking of a potter's vessel, that is broken in pieces: He shall not spare; so that there shall not be found in the bursting of it, a sheard to take fire from the hearth, or to take water out of the Pit: (Let those Statesmen or Magistrates, who out of design, or self-interest, tolerate or secretly countenance such dangerous Rebels against God, his Word or Ministers, remember it as well as these Seducers and their followers, lest God break them thus to powder suddenly and irrepairably together, and our whole three Kingdoms too.) And if this Text be not sufficient to convince them of and deter them from this their Sin; let them read at leisure Micah 2. 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 11.

But if they hold these to be obsolete and Old Testament only; Let them then consider, who they were, and what a transcendent sin it was in those, who prohibited (not seducing false Apostles and Jesuitical Emissaries, as these vagrant Quakers are) but Christ's commissioned,

6. That the Jesuits professed doctrine and practice is, that if they can, to suppress, destroy, extirpate Protestant Ministers, Kings, Princes, Churches, States, and all professors of the Protestant Religion, by raising Schisms, Seditions, Devisions, Civil Wars and Commotions amongst them, and dividing them one from and against another to their mutual ruin; which hath been their great design of late years, whereof we have felt the sad effects: As you may read at large in Hospinian, and Ludovicus Lucius, their most excellent Historia Jesuita, Speculum, sive Jubilaeum Jesuiticum, and the Epistle to my VINDICATION, etc. of the good old Fundamental Liberties and Laws of England; which if they cannot effect by these means, then to excite all Christian Kings and Princes to accomplish it in conclusion, BY FIRE, SWORD, WAR, and THE POWER OF AN ARMY; as you may there be satisfied by undeniable Testimonies of Jesuits themselves, and Precedents of former and latter Times: More particularly by the Words and Writings of Jacobus Crucius, the Jesuit, in his Explication of the Rules of the Jesuits, and his Sermon, Anno 1584.

A brief Reply to John audland's Railing Paper.  
Christian Reader,  
MEeting (since the premises sent to the Press) with a printed Pamphlet lately published, Entitled: The Innocent delivered out of the Snare, etc. full of unchristian Rail against our Ministers, Magistrates in general, and myself, with others in particular; written by John Audland, an Arch Quaker (who cannot write six lines of true English together;) and finding in the Title page and p. 36. etc. thereof, this inscription. An Answer to a scandalous Paper put forth by William Prynne; Entitled: The Quakers unmasked and clearly detected: wherein his slanders are made to appear; and he is clearly unmasked and plainly detected, being taken with A LIE in his mouth: I thought meet, by way of Reply, to so much only as concerns my Paper, to give thee this brief account thereof, in the close of this Enlarged Edition.  
1. That his chief Exception is against Cowlishaw his Oath, as untrue; only upon this slender ground. p. 37. Two of us whom the world reproachfully calls Quakers, came from the North (being moved of the Lord) in the Month of June; we came into the City of Bristol the 12. day of the Month called July; and on the morrow being the 13. day, we were at two meetings; the one with the people called Anabaptists; the other with the people called Independents; and we were moved by the Lord to speak at both their meetings, which we did: as several of those people can bear witness. Thou saith; in September George Cowlishaw being asked by Coppinger; if there had been none of those people called Quakers in Bristol? He answered, NO. Now this is false. For some of us who 
* Two verbs singular are coupled with us, a plural; and so throughout the Book.  is so called (mark his English) was then at Bristol: For we had meetings at the Fort and Redde-Lodge in Bristol, the 10. and 13. of September: at which was several hundreds of people; which will all witnesses. That THY Oath IS FALSE. But doth this convince the Oath to be false? No verily: but rather confirms it for truth: For though two of you went to two private meetings of Anabaptists and Independents in Bristol, and spoke there to them on July 13. yet that was unknown to Cowlishaw and most others: and you spoke to those people then, not under the name or notion of Quakers, but only of 
* Whose Opinions they justify against Infant Baptism in this new Pamphlet p. 20. 31, 32.  Anabaptists & Independents: And your speaking to sundry after in and about Bristol on the 10. 13. 15. 17. 19 of September (at which time you began to take upon you the name of Quakers, and to be known in Bristol by that Title) was after Cowlishaws' conference with Coppinger: who adds; that about 18. days after, there came to this City two that were named Quakers: Now several of you coming thither (like the Franciscan Friars two by two after each other) just about that time he deposeth, by your own relation; convinceth Audland of an apparent slander, and double Lye. First, in accusing Cowlishaw (known to be a person of truth and honesty,) for making a false Oath, which his own Answer to it justifieth to be true. 2. In averring, * That he and his Companions were moved by the Lord & his

That they are the Messengers, & Ministers of the everlasting Gospel of God, sent and moved by the Lord to speak to the City of Bristol, etc. When as in truth, they are those that trouble that City, and would pervert the Gospel of Christ therein, Gal: 1. 7. yea the very false lying Pophers prophesied of and described Zech. 13. 3, 4, 5.  
2. He excepts against Cowlishaw: That he accused not Coppinger to the Magistrate, confessing himself to be a 
p. 38.  Franciscan Friar; but concealed, and let him go. Whereupon he taxeth the Magistrates of Bristol for injustice, in not punishing Cowlishaw, and yet making out warrants against the Quakers. But this is very frivolous. 1. Because his printed oath, is no concealment, but a clear discovery of him, and all his conference with him, to the Magistrates, deserving praise, not punishment. 2. Coppingers hasty departure the very next day into Ireland, disabled him and the Magistrate's to seize him. 3. The suspension of the Laws by some in Superior power against such Romish Vermin at that season, will excuse both him and the Magistrates from any punishment or blame, in not seizing on him; could they have conveniently done it. 4. Their granting out warrants against the Quakers, for disturbing both the Peace Ministers, and Government of the City, was just, legal. And their public abuse both of the Mayor and Governors of the City in print, in the two last pages of this Pamphlet, styling them Brethren and Companions, but it is in iniquity, who have confederated themselves against Christ & his anointed, etc. deserves a sharper Censure, than a small fine, temporary imprisonment and an obligation to the good behaviour though not yet inflicted on them.  
3. His exceptions against me; are, for averring. 1. That the Quakers are but the Spawn of Romish Frogs, Jesuits, and Franciscan Friars; To refute which he allegeth only That they 
* It is but his own test money; and none can tell what abode or profession he or Fox formerly had there, after diligent enquiry made concerning it?  all came from the North, that their birth and being was in West moreland near Kendal, where they lived & walked none of them having ever been out of England. To which answer. 1. That their coming out of the North; is a shrewd argument of their badness. The Scripture informs us Jer. 1. 14. chap. 4. 6. chap. 6. 1, 22. That out of THE NORTH AN EVIL SHALL BREAK FORTH UPON ALL THE INHABIT ANTS OF THE LAND. That EVIL APPEARETH OUT OF THE NORTH, AND GREAT DESTRUCTION shall be brought from THE NORTH. Which the Latin Proverb Omne malum ab Aquilone; with the English Adagy; A●… evil comes from the North, seconding, we have just cause to conclude; That these Quakers coming from thence, are fit Instruments, only to bring evil and destruction upon all the Inhabitants of the Land; not Gods Messengers, Ministers, sent thence to save men's Souls. 2. Westmoreland is well known, to have abounded with Jesuits, Popish Priest's Friars, Recusants, and persons Popishly affected, ever since the Reformation: Witness the 
* See Speeds, History, Camden's Elizabeth, Stow. How, and others in Ann 1569.  Rebellion of the Earl of Westmoreland and the Northern Papists under him, to advance the popish Religion and destroy Queen Elizabeth and the protestant Reformation. Anno 1569. with the late power of the Lord William Howard, Ducket, Leyborn, Fleming, and other Popish Families in that County. And therefore we may justly fear an emanation of Jesuitical, Franciscan Frogs and Emissaries from thence now. 3. Mr. Tillam (late, or still a Popish Priest) Administrator of the Anabaptistical Congregation at Hexam, not far from Kendal, avers in print; 
* See the perfect Pharisee. p. 13.  That these Quaking Agonies were derived from the Francis can Friars; and the premises sufficiently prove, that they were derived to us from them, and the Jesuits, who took their Pattern from the Idolatrous pagan prietts, quaking Transcies and Agonies. Therefore his own bare verbal negation thereof, will no way disprove my Assertion. The rather, because the Jesuits, Franciscans, Benedictines, and others have their private Colleges, Societies, and General of their Orders in England, and may secretly admit their Disciples into their Orders here, without going beyond the Seas; as I have proved at large in my Romes-Master-piece; The Popish Royal Favourite, Hidden works of Darkness brought to public Light, and my Epistle to a (late) Seasonable Legal and Historical Vindication; to which I shall refer the Reader, and our Quakers for fuller Satisfaction. 4. Some of them, wearing rough Hair

Which prophecy Lies in the name of the Lord, and wear a garment of hair to Ly and deceive the people, which Murford and others of them use. 2. For affirming, that they use enchanted potions, Bracelets, Ribbons, Sorcery, and Witchcraft; to intoxicate their Disciples. Which being sufficiently evidenced in the premises, and
