A Thunderclap FROM NEWGATE TO THE London Quakers.  
FIrst I shall give you a Character of these new vampt Christians called Quakers; A Quaker is a person who swallows shame like sweet-Butte●, his Confidence carries him beyond all Ordinances, he denys the Scripture to be a Rule of Holiness, building his own foundation on the bottom of his own Hypocrisy, he is full of dissimulation, a mere Crackbraind and selfconceited piece of Impudence, he will not swear but lie without aim, Clouding all evil with a Cloak made of Yea and Nays; He works altogether Sophistically, to ensnare the ignorant and unlearned, persuading them that the word of God is but a dead Letter, and the life, light and power is in themselves; He is the Spawn of an Anapabti●● whose overgrown opinions (as he says) have brought him through all evils to the height of perfection, so that he believes and av●ches he hath no further to go, but just to step into Heaven itself; he says further he cannot commit sin or err in any thing he acts, for he hath nothing but life & light in him; whom he Curse are damned, and whom he blesses (he conceives) shall be saved, he is a selfconceited fire brand of Hell, sent on earth as 〈…〉 set Nations together b● the ears: 〈…〉 full of flattery and deceit ●hat is all Government, eden's Magistracy, and owns no power but his own justs, and 〈◊〉 subjects 〈…〉 he owns all; but yet will not submit to any superior Officer, he 〈◊〉 to swea● at all, yet will stand in a lie to the 〈◊〉, which makes him so rough in the throat that he cannot swallow the Oath of Allegiance more out of a self-willed humour th●n ●atter of Conscience, but for his own ends he will ●og, Lie, H●●ter, Dissemble, and it may be rap out an Imprecation as bad as an Oath; he'll pretend to plead only by reason, but it is his own reason, thwarting all others that oppose him, though contrary to reason, truth or Christianity, he is an unmannerly impudent Fellow that hath not so much as moral Civility; his Hat grows as fa●● on his Head as his ears.  
He is one that loves a prison better than his Liberty, pretending to glory in his suffering, not that he loves bonds, but rather that he may live in idleness, and be maintained by a Collection of the Brethren, who work to supply him with all varieties of Belly- 〈◊〉, and pomper him up with dainties as Pig, Mutton, Pye-Pork, Beef, and other daintys, (which I have been an eye Witness of) in so plentiful a manner as is not fit for such miscreants, who Rebel against all Government, both Spiritual and Temporal.  
The chief heads of these Belly-gods or Quaking Saints are old Jesuitical opinionists, who have traveled through other Countries so long, that they are forced to return to their own; as Fisher, Burrows, Baily, and several others, besides a prattling Parrot that came lately from Rome, Who if they had continued longer beyond Seas, might have had as g●ea● a Crop of Seditious Members there, as here, since their return.  
In fine, they are a mad; hair-b●an'd; bewitched multitude who seek nothing more than to throw down powers and b●●ng kingdoms into a confused Chaos, by dissembling and drawing innocent souls into eternal Captivity. Nay in a paper the publish● lately they would appear to be Prophets.  
To Prophesy they also do pretend,  
A●d say the world shall have a sudden end;  
Nay in short space they prophesy to know  
In London-Streets for stones green grass shall grow.  
Thus do these lying Prophets, or confident Quaking Christians unchristian than selves by their Impudent actions; for since their coming to Newgate for disobeying the Act against private meetings, they did in contempt fling down Treasonable Libels from the Leads into the Streets, on purpose to raise new Insurrections in his Majesty's Kingdom; till they were prevented by the diligent care of the Ma●●er Keeper, by whose Order they were taken away, and several hundreds of them burned which were stuffed with lies and su●tle devises to pervet the ignorant and unlearned, to the great disturbance of the peace of his Majesty's Kingdom.  
But to give you a hint of the actions of these Metrapolitan dissemblers, I shall insert some few, here being only room in this sheet to draw the Curtain from before these Quaking Puppets. Not long since a Common strumpet (being brought into Newgate for some notorious fact took notice of one of these black Saints, and said, that the Monday before he would have given her money if she were free to satisfy his lust, which she would not consent to at his price, all which he could not deny; for if she had been as free as he, she might soon have been made a fellow creature, so that though they will not swear, they will lie with any body; and though they be perfect (as they say) yet some scu●f of fleshly lust is still left behind, which like a scab doth make a slaw in the Scutcheon of their purity.  
This story is much like that of their Fanatic Champion Cap. J. G. the devout Tanner, (a prisoner not long since in the same place) who acted a part of Tuquoque in Newgate on the Stage of a maid, after the Chillinden fashion, as she confessed, when he proved false to her, in not providing her a lodging and marrying her (according to promise) though he had a wife of his own at the same time.  
For lying none can go beyond them, except some little Devil should leap out of the mouth of Grand Pluto, as will appear by the ensuing story, viz.  
Some few weeks since one Watson died (who was a prisoner amongst these dissembling converts) and his brother came the day following to fetch away his bed-cloths, which he brought down into the Lodge belonging to Newgate, whereupon the turn-key (fearing some of the Master Keeper's  should be amongst them) desired him to lay them down (intending to see whether there were or no) but he out of stubborness denied him, upon which, the Turn-key took hold of the rope that tied them, and pulled them from him, which some of these lying Sophisters seeing, presently gave out a report, that three men fell upon him and kicked him up and down the Lodge, though they never touched his body, as will (if occasion require) be justified by the testimony of seven or eight several witnesses, who were then and there present.  
One of their chief witnesses was black-mouthed Vulcan, or Mulciber the Blacksmith of hell, (a turbulent fellow whom some call J. Bury) he blazed the report strongly, and justified it stoutly, though when the business was acted, he was at least four pair of stairs high, which must needs be an invallid Witness, except he had the art of Inspection, and could see thorough four floors at once, or left his eyes hanging on the Iron Grates, as a Sentry, to view this unthought of and unacted combat.  
Another of the blind-guided tremblers was so unreverend, that when the servants were locking up the Jail, he said; If they locked up the leads they were fools that lay above, if they did not take the Pulpit Cushion and empty it and ease their Bodies in the Case; If this be Christianity Reason or plain honesty, the Devil may well be Governor in a Commonwealth of such audacious Subjects.  
Not long after the aforesaid Watson was buried, which being done, within two hours comes down one of the Lunatic brethren who sitting in the Lodge, resolved to work a miracle, and said Arise, arise, arise from the dead, the Brethren waiting by him expecting watson's coming again, but no Watson appearing after he had said it three times, the Turn-key showed a greater miracle for he said, arise and go up stairs, quoth he, I must not for I am commanded to stay for a time, upon which the Turn-key lifted him up, and no sooner he was in a doors, but he was transported up stairs into the Leads where he was juddenly (for madness that he could not raise the dead) possessed with the Devil, and with raving shrieking, howling, tossing and tumbling, and other horrid noise he shock the roof, so that the Anabaptists who lay underneath could not rest all night, affirming in the morning that he was possessed with the Devil, which they that unlocked are able to witness.  
Upon Monday the first of September, 1662.: One of these mad bewitched hypocrites was commanded by the Devil and their Jesuitical Fathers to do penance, through Bartholmew-Fair with a pan of fire-coals on his head, which he did willingly, as a Meritotious piece of madness, and stripping himself naked, he set the pan on his head with the fire burning, and ran round the Fair till he came to the Hospital gate, where he slung down the pan breaking it in pieces expressing some words not sit to be inserted by any but Rebel's to their King and Country.  
Great pity it was indeed that this shameless piece of madness went unpunished, for had his back been well Nayle●● a by the B●adel it might have been a warning for the future to all such shameless pieces of madness, who neither fear God honour the King nor believe in any thing but their own Lusts and inventions, thinking themselves to be all in all.  
Their manner of Burial is disorderly and unhandsome, the Corpse being put in a Coffin without a decent covering, contrary to the custom of all other Christians. For two of them being Dead were brought by Newgate one being carried with the head foremost the other with the head behind, so that they were turned tail to tail like Samsons Foxes, with a great gang of silly women following like, so many dumb images, and conveyed to the ground where they were fling in like Dogs without any word or Instruction to those that accompany the Bodies of these Monstrous Christians.  
FINIS.
