THESE several Texts of Holy Scripture are placed in the Frontispeice to stand as a Cloud of Witnesses against these Heathenish people, who so much despise and reject all Books and Learning, and who do, as much as they can, cast the Council of our Saviour Christ behind them, who hath said, Search the Scriptures, for they testify of Me, and also of the Prophet David, who in Psalm. 1. says, That the man is blest who meditates in the Law of the Lord day and night, yet these who are such Quakers and Tremblers fear not to speak evil of Dignities, and not only refuse to submit to Magistracy and Dignities on Earth but to reject even God's Sacred word itself, but not to withhold the Reader from what we promised, we shall come succinctly, & truly to describe this Herd of strange beasts lately come amongst us. and first concerning,   

THEIR PRODUCTION AND RISE.  
These Creatures cannot much boast of Antiquity; they cannot surely pretend much to Gentility, for they are not of Welsh Extraction; they scarce know the Herald's Office, nor did they come in with the Conqueror: They are much like to Mushrooms and Toad-stools springing up in a night; they are surely like to Ionas Gourd in one particular, which came up speedily, and most wish that they might decay as suddenly; they are the Lapwings of these times, run about with their shells on their heads, they hate idleness, for they put themselves to work as soon as they are whelped, Running to and fro about the City: They may be some kin unto French Tailors, delighting to be in the last and newest fashion; it may truly be verified of them, we are but of yesterday and know nothing, they have their Rise not from men, but beasts, and those not tame but wild by nature, from a Fox, who was of late kennneld, but now he and his whole Litter are abroad, and therefore 'tis fit they should be stoutly hunted: Their Actions show them to be true Foxes as sampson's were, running and whisking about our Land with Firebrands of Sedition and Dissension at their tails to spoil the good Corn; Foxes, they are for they live all upon preying, 'tis wished that salomon's advise might be followed, Take us the Foxes, the little Foxes that spoil the grapes, 'tis thought and not improbably, that these were whelped in the Kennel of Ignatius Loyola the Jesuit, in the Roman Territories, and are now run over hither for forage and booty: their Rise is ignoble and beastly, but 'tis not to be doubted, but they will quickly increase and augment, because they couple twice or thrice every week, and have now hired a large strong kennel to practise in, where any one, if he please, may hear their open mouths bark out great swelling Nonsense at the sign of the Great mouth within Aldersgate, which house has had strange Masters, once 'twas a Pallce for a Noble man, another time a place for a Printer, next for a Vintner, then for a Cook, and at present a great den for subtle Foxes.   

THEIR LANGUAGE AND DISCIPLINE.  
These two are joined together, because they help one the other, for as their Language is too great, so is their Discipline too little, and yet they may be well separated, for their Language is without any discipline at all, they are no Soldiers, for they observe no Orders, they do Potius Latrare quàm Orare, rather howl or bark, then preach or pray; yet as subtle as they are, they are no Conjurers, for they love not to keep within Compass, their Language is as wild as their Nature, neither keeps time, method nor matter; they seem tobe enemies to all Music for they keep no Stops, and yet they may have some skill in it, for they run upon Divisions and Quavers, Pricksong pleases them, for they squeale above Elah, and are excellent at the Base: they should have skill in Geometry, for they'll compass the Land to gain Proselytes and the most, if not all of them measure it by the foot, having not horses to ride, without all doubt they have some experience in Astronomy, for most of them are Lunatic or Planet struck, their Language aims at the new Building of old Babel fortheir babbling and bawling tends all to Confusion; we may safely say that these Creatures were not borne Tongue-tied, they are so voluble, though they give such Licence to their tongues yet they do it without Licence, neither ever had they the gift of Tongues, their Language is not substantial but frothy, for they foam at the Mouth whilst they prate: Solomon says, That a man full of words shall not prosper & then surely there's no fear that any of this Litter will come to be Aldermen: though they talk and prate of Great Matters, yet 'tis no great matter what they say, if in a multitude of words there must needs be sin, then questionless these are not yet all Saints: they have little or no faith, for they never keep their words, they affect no Union, and yet they never use Division in their Text. Their Language is harder either than Welch or Wild Irish, their persons and Tongues are alike, for both defy Magistrates and Ministers. A man may easier bind up a Bushel of Sand in a halter, then carry away four or five hours of their illiterate nonsense and confused babbling. In brief, their Language is too irreverent for a Temple, and too uncivil for a Tavern, yet such Tongues there are at the sign of the Mouth.   

THEIR DOCTRINE.  
Our Saviour was strictly examined concerning his Disciples and his Doctrine, and if He, why should not these; these cry up as much they can Light Liberty, and 'tis known they aim at lightness of Liberty, they cry that all men want Light, and if they should be weighed in the balance they would be found too Light, while they prate of Liberty, they take too much liberty, while they wish others to get Liberty, they abuse their Liberty, while they speak of Light, they love the Dark, and their bawling in the light, of the light, is enough to extinguish it; they are Libertines, and therefore must also be light fellows, now and then they interline a word that the Grace of God hath appeared, though they do it without any Grace, and never make it out to their confused Auditory to what end or purpose, They teach their she Disciples to whine, and their Hees to howl, any of them take upon them to talk, though nothing to purpose, their Doctrine and principles are all unstated, for themselves know not what they are, and until the next pretended inspiration, are like hogsheads, empty; they are like Reuben unstable as water, and to keep up their Bawling with boldness and impudence; they rail against Priests and Levites, though themselves be of the Tribe of Gad or Many-asses: They allow no Magistrates, not because they are not allowable, but because they are not of their Brotherhood, their Doctrine is weak and full of Ignorance, for they were never tutored, nor will ever endure sound Learning, they are no friends to the Company of Stationers, for they are more blockish, then bookish: 'tis doubted by most, that should they receive their wages for their work, 'twould be a halter, for they would scorn the benefit of their Clergy; because they hate them so deeply, and would not be able to read their Neck-verses. Their Doctrine is as the Apostle says, The Doctrine of Devils, they are the latest spawn and fry of Rome, and 'tis pity, they should have such large Room to build up old Rome within the walls of our London, but to proceed.   

4. THEIR POLICY.  
THis they have and use naturally, all Foxes are subtle, go tell that subtle Fox, says our Saviour of Herod, but yet these heighten their Nature by practice and experience. See this in some particulars, they come not far abroad till they be able to traverse and find their game, in stormy weather, they keep close in their Dens, Kennels, and hiding holes, for fear of being ruined for their boldness: How many such dens and kennels of these beastly creatures does that old Fox keeper of Rome keep filled, as Seminaries, Cloisters, Fryeryes, Monasteries, Nunneries, Abbeys, priories lined full of such Foxes old and young, which (as occasion serves upon all advantageous opportunities are let lose and sent abroad to prey under various Names, Titles, Orders, Degrees, under all pretended out sides and shapes of Sanctimony and gifts, and Revelations and Inspirations: Their sly disguised creeping forth amongst us, veiled with the smooth Umbrages of Messages from God, of Dictares from the Holy Ghost, of Immediate and Infall be Inspiring, how have those guilded and guilful Pills swallowed down ignorantly, wrought bitter effects and sad Conclusions: Their zealous and extraordinary appetite to devour under these palliated terms of Conversion, New birth new Light, Spiritual Gifts, heavenly Endowments how do they devour young game, such as are not wise enough to shun and avoid these pretended holy and mortified Creatures: Is not their policy deep and great, when partly by fair speeches, specious presents, pretended Infusions of Grace, long prayers, outward humility, wresting of Scriptures, application of Prophecies long since accomplished only to themselves in these days, especially that Eminent Text in Joel, It shall come to pass in the last days that I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh, though the Apostle Peter says Act 2. this Scripture was then fulfilled in his time yet these hold out, it is to them, to them only who are sent from God, inspired by God and his Spirit, hereupon they pretend Raptures, Ecstasies, Swoon, Swell, Groan, Tumbling, and Prostrations, Skreekings, Murmur, Trances, Sensible feelings, and Manifestations of God's Spirit coming into them; and in this politic frenzy; they pretend they have him, he is now within them, and so must speak, and must only be heard, as sent by God to give Commands, Directions; and Advisoes to the great Ones of the earth, these boast themselves to be the favourites of Heaven, that all but themselves are in darkness, in bondage in corruption, that they know the mind of Christ, to these glorious politic pretexts, they have added of late, outward poverty, voluntary humiliation, simple and shameless nakedness, extreme penance, superstitious abstinence, poor habit, mean far, hard lodging; refraining of acquaintance, leaving their Trades and callings, affecting solitariness, sullenness, bitterness, with a seeming renouncing of all worldly preferments and pleasures and profits, with divers other such Antiquated and popish trinkets and trumpery revived, and then as their spirit of Delusion suggests, they must disguise themselves and pretend some special peremptory message to White-Hall, to give extraordinary Informations, Injunctions or Directions (as they pretend) from the Lord. and if not forthwith admitted, then presently they give out, that all our present Governors are naught ungodly and Antichristian, because they did not receive these Imperious Dictates from God's Saints & Gods Prophets (if you please to credit them) These are some of those many Foxlike tricks of policy they daily practise to gain Admiration, O subtle Renard! to get such footing in so short a time, but to go on, the next is.   

5 THEIR PRESUMPTION.  
THey have made their foreheads as hard as an Adamant, blu●…sh they will not, they are so impudent; ●'st not presumption to exclude all others from Communion with God, and only include themselves? to assume an Office so high, without any lawful Commission? to run furiously not being sent? to press impudently into the Wedding room not being called, nor having on a Wedding Garment? to sit the highest with out the leave of the master of the Feast? to undertake to teach others who were never learned themselves? to impropriate that to themselves, which is denied to none? to brag of the assurance of God's favour to themselves and that rather merited then given freely, and to debar all others from it? to esteem all others as dross, and themselves the pure gold? they are much like theives that steal and take away other men's Goods, but at last hang for it, they are like to Froth cork, and black soap, strive to be uppermost, they as those wicked ones in Psal. 12. say, Our tongues are our own, who is Lord over Us, they presume all our Magistrates are asleep, and so they may play their pranks, Other men's Indulgency and forbearance sets them on float, they are worse than the Scribes and Pharisees, for though they sat in Moses chair, yet that place belonged to them: but these rail at all that are lawfully in it; and take it to themselves, they hold all to be black but themselves, surely they are purblind for they look not on any man aright, they would persuade men that none live in the sun but themselves, nor are worthy of it because not of their Newfound Land way; they are much like Icarus, will be flying though it be with waxed wings, and be drowned; or like Phaeton, will be in the Chariot of State, though they break their necks in the conclusion, They give our, their care is so much for Heaven, that they give no respect to men upon Earth; One would take them to be good fellows, for they make all, and account the best of men scarce their fellows, they are much like to flies and gnats, play so busily about the Candle, till at last they burn their wings and themselves; these are the true priests of Baal, for they do Bawl to the purpose; in brief, because they are not punished, they think they are not punishable; they entrench upon all men's jurisdictions and so they are not hurt, care not what hurt they do: They can not endure God's word, because it describes these filthy dreamers, who creep into widow's houses, and lead about silly women loaden with divers lusts, speaking ill of dignities, using Religion but for a Cloak of their malicious designs; in a word they are the true Frogs of Egypt, croaking and crawling in all places, and except the sooner removed, will defile this whole Land and make it stink, yet further,   

5. THEIR PROFANES AND UNCLEANNESS.  
IT is registered of one of the Emperors that while he was baptised, he defiled the Fount with his Excrement, and 'twas said, he would prove an Enemy to Christians, and so it came to pass, so he had his name Copronymus, but these unclean profane Esau's brood, have not only defiled the place of their Baptism, but esteem it in itself an , Unholy thing; they not only not respect Persons, Times, or Places; but Despise the One, presume to Alter the other, and Overthrow the third: They think they may pull Down the Houses of God that be in the Land, because Papists have prayed in them, and rob them of all their means, pretending themselves of Israel, and all others of Egypt, Vzza was punished severely for but touching the Ark to bold it up with his hand, but these employ their hands to overthrow it, they say of our Churches, as the Children of Edom did of Jerusalem, Psal. 137. Down with them, down with them even to the ground, they love not those that are Tryers of Ministers, because they keep an Order in the Worship of God, these love no Order, and therefore Revile; there is not the strictest tye or bond that God hath laid on man to perform, but they st●ive to violate it; turning The Grace of God into wantonness,, for the Sabbath, they hold it Jewish and Ceremonial, as for the Sacraments, they are so Mysterious, that they slight them, for Honour to Parents, they acknowledge it not, and for Marriage they hold all in Common, they seem to hate all Enclosures and Pastures, for they would lay all open, for the Scriptures, the Holy word of God, they say with the Papists, 'tis a Dead Letter in itself, and that it receives all the Vigour by their Unlearned, and Presumptuous tautological Empty Interpretations, nay indeed go further than so, for they hold their sudden Inspirations and Enthusiasms and Dreams and Raptures, to excel Them for worth, they say clean contrary to what Peter heard spoke to him, what God hath cleansed, call thou not unclean, but these count those things, Persons and Ordinance, which God hath set apart to be unfit for Use, and therefore despise them, these are like Flies in the Ointment, defile it: they account all men unclean but themselves, and therefore cry out, Touch not, Stand off further, for I am holier than Thou; to conclude this point; it's wished they were farther gone, for they are as black as Pitch, and he that toucheth them shall be sure to be defiled.   

7. THEIR DISSIMULATION, ENVY, AND VNCHARITABLENES.  
These three shall be handled together, as they practise them, and as they usually are linked together; their Dissimulation precedes, for they may say of that as the Silver smiths at Ephesus, did of their Shrines, You know how that by this we get our living, if the Fox did not wear the Lamb's skin, he would not be so soon discovered, their words are as Smooth as oil, and yet they be very swords, they are like Sodoms Grapes, seem fair but taste deadly, like Pilate washing his hands, yet condemning Christ, or not unlike to Judas, who kissed his Master but withal betrayed him, with Joab speaking friendly, but wounding deadly: What are all their Formal shows, but mere Hypocrisy? their long Teachings of six or eight hours Babbling but devouring Houses and leading about simple women, and this is too commonly known: what are their outward Pilgrimages in our streets, their Wander into the Countries to cause the light, as they say, to come amongst the country people, the crying down all preaching but their own? and as they are Sergeant, so they are Envious, grieve that any man hath Light truer than theirs, their main aim is to put down the Law and the Gospel, the Magistrate and the Ministry, if these go Down, then hey Up go they ah; they are like Esop's dog, lie in the Manger, and will not let the horse eat Provender, though themselves cannot, so these, though they cannot nor Will feed souls, yet they inveterately hate those that do, their Envy 'tis thought is the cause that all, or the most of them are such Meager Carcases, and such Yellow tanned skeletons appearing more like Haggs and Hobgobling, than Men or Modest women, they are not unlike those men that were possessed with Devils who lived in the Fields and Mountains, and Graves, so that none could pass by that way without fear of danger, these chose solitary and waste places at first in the Woods, Fields, and Mountains, but now they are so impudent they have their Kennels in the greatest Cities and Towns, they are very unfit to be Judges, for if their Power was according to their Will, they would empty the Earth of men and women, and send them to Hell in a crowd, their months are full of Cursing, that it is thought, they are not under a Blessing, and they are so Uncharitable that they envy that God is so Patiented and merciful, their prayers are rather that fire may come down from Heaven and consume us, rather than that the Sun should shine to warm and refresh us, they say we are all in the dark, but they rather desire all men were Blind: Nero wished that all Rome had but One head, that he might at one blow strike it Off, but these cannot endure that we should have any Head at all, and that makes them so Sourly and Maliciously to revile and rail against our Head the public Magistrates, they are so far from praying for them, that like Foxes they would said Prey upon them: they are for certain out of Charity with their Auditory, or else they would Bless them at parting; but these Snarl at, and by't them in their whole Exercise, and therefore 'tis a Witty and a true Proverb, When the Fox preanes beware the geese: whom they cannot Allure, they Envy and Hate; and because they gain but a few, they must needs hate the more; they are Enemies to Almshouses, Schools, and Colleges, they hate the First, because founded upon Charity, and the Two later because they Breed up, and are Nurseries for learned Scholars, Judges and Magistrates, all which are Eye-fores to their unlawful assemblies, of which it may truly be said, My Soul come not into their assemblies for in their fury the killed a man and digged through a wall, and for certain their fury is great, both in and out of their Meetings against a Man, against Authority, and lawful Magistracy, and therefore they do like Foxes, dig down & through all Fundamental Laws and Civil Policy and Societies, which are the Walls of our Happy Subsistence, and we are all bound to pray that God would keep out these Vermin called Quakers from digging down these Walls, these Foundations, but we hope they are deeper laid than to be Undermined, and higher built then to be leapt over by these Insulting, Presumptuous Company of Foxes, For if the Foundations be cast down, what shall the Righteous do?   

8. THEIR IGNORANCE.  
ANd in this particular they do not only Equal but outstrip the very Papists, for they hold only, That Ignorance is the Mother of Devotion, yet they debar not Knowledge from their Priests, but these as well Speakers as Hearers, exclude All Knowledge and condemn it, sure they are no kin to Egyptians, for they were fearful at their three days Darkness, these applaud it. they have some affinity to Bats Night Ravens, and Owls, for they love Night better than Day, so these Darkness rather than Light: They are not of salomon's mind, for he prayed for Wisdom and Knowledge and Understanding; but these prate and preach against It: They cannot endure any Schoolmasters, because they Whip their Disciples for their Ignorance, they are utter Enemies to the society of Almanac Makers; because they discourse only of the Stars, and the Heavens: And these never intent to trouble that place. They praise Greenland to be a very gallant Country, because there is more Darkness than Light, and there● good store of their fellow Creatures, they live there as Bears and Foxes may go together, 'tis reported they intent to plant there, only they doubt the Bears, as the better Creatures will not yield them Possession, 'tis thought its high time for them to be gone, for they have played such Fox-tricks here, that our Country is weary of them, they hold that place of Scripture to be Apochyphas, My Son, get Knowledge, and above all get Understanding, they regard not knowledge because the Apostle Paul says, Knowledge puffs up, They applaud that for an excellent sentence of Agrippa unto Paul, Too much Learning hath made thee mad, and yet these are mad & yet without learning: they care not for that place of Scripture, which says, If the blind lead the blind they both fall into the ditch, and because the Scriptures do so much speak against Ignorance, the speak as much against Them, yet as ignorant as they be, they presume to Teach the learned and greatest Magistrates, who so bold as blind Byard, to conclude these, surely they were bred near Dunstable, they are the Snuffers against Magistracy, they cannot endure to hear of the Schools of the Prophets, they are like Naash the Ammonite desire to put out the Eyes of all Israel, they are clean contrary to God and Good men, for God, is Light, and his Chrildrens are of the Light, these love Ignorance and affect Darkness, but to proceed to the next; and that is.   

9 THEIR BEHAVIOURS, GESTURES, AIMS, AND ENDS.  
THese four particulars are fitting to be discovered, not any ways to uphold them, but to set them open to the view of the world: these Characters show their Nature, Disposition, and Intention, their Behaviours are for the most part according to their Breeding, Education is reputed a second Nature, and hath a strong Influence upon the whole Course of the Afterlife, hereupon it ought to be the care of Parents to give Virtuous Education to their Children, it being for a Foundation to all their future Actions either for Honesty, Justice Civility, or Worth; or on the contrrry for In ustice, Incivility, Dishonesty or baseness.  
It plainly may, and doth appear, that these persons either never had It bestowed on them, or else they have strangely Degenerated from those formerly received Principles, and so usually such parties, prove Prodigious and Monstruous, or Dangerous and unhappy to themselves, and the Common Wealth, wherein they had their first breath.  
To our purpose, We know not much of their Extraction, nor do accuse their Parents as careless of their duties in this particular, yet so much, we can safely say, that if Forts creantur à fortibus, Eagles get Eagles, not Buzzards, Owls or Jackdaws, so Lions bring forth Lions not Foxes Hogs and Dogs, for certain these are either Metamorphosed or else their Progenitors were Ignoble, Vicious, and Sordid, sor to take a short view of their persons.  
First, They want Learning even to that degree, that most of them know not the very Elements, Rudiments or first beginnings of it, hence it comes to pass, that universally they cry down all Learning and learned men; for certain they must needs be poor Creatures who are altogether destitute of such a worthy Jewel, which indeed is the prime Ornament of the Soul, and enables and furnishes it generally for any Virtuous or worthy employment, so that they are sent out into the wood empty and lame.  
Secondly, They want Calling, for the most part we know it that many of them never were brought up to a Calling, a gross fault in those that had, and undertook the Steerage of their youth, Train up says Solomon, a child in his way, i. e. his Calling, in his youth, and he will not forget it when he is old: But where there's no training up in a Calling in a Way, in youth, 'tis no marvel they Wander without a Way (any good way) all the rest of their life: ere else, if though they had a Calling, they left it and forsook it through want of good advice, or Foresight, Distemper Discontent or too much Severity and Rigour of their Masters, which are all miserable Presages of future Calamity; and desperate, if not Ruinous events: Now if the the fault be in the Masters, they may have some Plea, but little Help, but if it proceed from themselves, scarce (upon some or any of the fore mentioned Acts) is Excusable, much less Allowable, such men (if yet worthy that name) put themselves not only out of the way but out of God's Ordinary and usual way of Protection) He shall keep thee in all thy ways, but he that puts himself out of the way of his Calling, exposes himself to all dangers, as being out of God's Custody and Tuition.  
It is certaily known that these persons do not abide in a calling, not follow it Powerfully nor Subordinately; especially since they thrust themselves into this Extravagant course of Teaching, by pretended Inspiration: and many of them through Distemper by lewd irregular Carriage, burst out into ill Husbandry, and lavish Spend, and at last turned Desperates not knowing where to pitch or steer aright, and so ever since have been Erratic and wand'ring Planets.  
Thirdly, They want Competency of means caused principally by being out of Employment, or Poverty of Parents, and this affliction, if it falls upon a Choleric stubborn Nature, one that affects Liberty and Licence without control, works Strongly and strangely, and forces them into all Idle, unlawful uncivil or unhonest actions.  
Fourthly, Want of Regularity, and due Temper of Spirit, not knowing either how to shun Poverty, when it falls, nor be contented with or under it being laid upon them; nor taking Care, nor using Lawful means to get out of it, and of this Condition many of those persons are, They know not of what Spirits they are.  
Fifthly want of Grounds and Principles of Religion; scorning or not ear-ring to hear the Word preached by the public Ministers, and so not having the Fear of God before their eyes at all, or not so much, as they ought: they go astray as soon as they are born and speak lies, as the Prophet David says.  
Sixthly, Many of them have been Professors formerly, but by contention and baughtinesse of Spirit, and for want of Assisting grace and Humility, fall off, and so set up this Trade of Batiologie and Vain Babbling.  
Seventhly, Hope of Gaines and Outward credit amongst men, to be accounted some what Excellent, or Envy to the Preachers by Law established, these are as Pullyes to draw them in, and Spurs to set them forward,  
To these many others might be added, but these are sufficient to cause their Behaviour to be either toward God or Man unreverent, undecent, uncivil, unnatural, God having justly given them up to their own hearts lusts to work all wie●…ednes even with greediness, hence at any meeting they carry not themselves in an ordinary affable way amongst their Equals, hence they sco ne their Superiors, and truly give no man his Due: but superciliously and vaingloriously or stubbornly and surly, and irregularly, they ●ear themselves: slighting or not regarding persons of their nearest natural Relation in their Comportment shows their Lose and extravagant breeding; so that their unmannerly and uncivil carriage to all sorts of people proceeds from a double cause: from want of Civil and Moral Education; and from a proud, affected, Supercilious, vain Conceit of their sublime gifts, excellent qualities, & Divine inspirations: And so judging all others inferior to themselves, and indeed holding others not fit for their sanctified societies (as they pretend) herupon many can witness that at the sign of the Mouth, two Gentlemen of good quality after their Longwinded exercise was ended, came in a civil and courteous comportment, to, two of their she Disciples, who during Foxes Rambling, and confused Babbling, were taken with their Whining yelping puppy-like Phrensical fits; and the Gentlemen very civilly came and asked them, whether they were ill? or whether they were crowded to much? or what reason they had for so doing? and protested seriously to those two Females, that they desired to be informed not out of Curiosity, but for Satisfaction; they two stood staring in the gentlemen's faces a good pretty while, and spoke not to them at all, the Gentlemen humbly desired them the second time to be pleased to inform them concerning these particulars; they both hereupon in a furious and Hag-like rage and passion belched out of their unclean Mouths, these direful curses and Execrations against those two men and others that stood by, you are both Damned wretches, you are straw and stubble hay and dross, and are good for nothing but Hell fire, which shall Consume you, another standing by, and hearing such violent expressions come from them, told them they did not well to condemn any man, and that their judgement was unjust, the women turned suddenly to him, and said that he was no other than a Firebrand of Hell as well as the other, and that their time of burning was not far off, and being asked, how they know that, they replied furiously again, they were commanded to tell them of it, this was their deportment to men of modest and calm spirits, who protested afterward that they could not have believed they had been such angry and violent people; and that they desired nothing, but would fain have been satisfied about their Whining and strange yelping, so boldly impudent they are and lavish in their exercise, that though they belch out Blasphemy, Heresy, Nonsense, Contradiction, Absurdities, Untruths, Lies, Slanders, Revile against God and Christ, the Scriptures, Magistrates (the high●st not exempted) and Ministers yet, when as they are told of it, though by judicious able men yet they shall have no better entertainment, then to be judged, and forthwith condemned to Hell flames and torments, as though They had the keeping of the keys of the Grave and Hell; had power to Bind or Lo●… at their pleas●…e any, whom they shall like or dislike, they have (as they affirm) such a purity that God sees no sin in them, nay they do not acknowledge themselves Sinners, but Purged, enlightened, perfected so, that all corruption and sin is subdued in them; hence they take Liberty to use or abuse the creatures amongst themselves, and imagine Community of women, though against the Laws of God and the Land, to be not only not a sin but allowable, and therefore they so licentiously practise it. Should all their Actions and behaviours so irreligious and profane, so obscence and uncomely be set down, 'twould swell into a large story, but indeed they are for the most part so strange and unnatural, that it is not fitting for a modest pen to write them, nor a chaste Nature to read them, next follows.   

THEIR GESTURES,  
THese are so Antic and Apish abroad, that the very Children deride and abhor them, as they range rudely through the very streets at noon day naked. So they practised in the Countries in Yorkshire, Lancashire, Cheshire and else where, even Women casting away all Modesty of of their sex, as well in the day time as in the night accompany with men, with strangers not their own Husbands, but these regard not the solemn ties or bonds of Marriage, but are broke out into all shameless and unparalleled Bestiality: Though most of them be scarce able to get rich and costly apparel, yet such as they have formerly used, they now cast off, they eat and drink promiscuously without rendering any thanks to God, before or after the receipt of their diet: they are so clean (as they pretend) that they need no washing, and therefore it may truly be said of them, that as they are no Scribes, so they are not Pharisees, for they washed oftener in a day, than these in six; the Pharisees prayed often, (these as thinking themselves not bound to Duties of that inferior rank) use it not: Their gestures in the time of their public tumultuous Meetings are various and strange, sometimes standing, sometimes sitting, sometimes tumbling, wallowing from one side to another, lying on their bellies, sometimes on their backs: never kneeling, shaking their hands as though troubled with a deep Palsy; strangely Casting up and distorting their Eyes, and wreathing their Mouths, lying as dead as in a Trance or a Swoon, strangely whining, sqealing, yawling, groaning, foa●ing, at mouth, as troubled with the Falling sickness, and their Leader and Chief Speaker, that nimble Mercurialist Fox, who hath run up and down divers countries and deluded sundry people under several shapes and Habits and forms, now come to London wears a bush, a long bush of Hair by his Ears like a Fox tail, which he strokes often and plays with and sports with it, as a Fox doth with his tail, to the Merriment and laughter of the spectators, and this done with such Confidence and impudence, 'tis not to be believed till seen.  
The Rainbow hath not more Colours than these Creatures variety of shapes, habits, forms, gestures, surely they never were bred in Spain, for they never alter their Fastion: but they may be thought to be French, always changing their Habits, and varying their Postures, they are like to Weathercocks, always turning with the Wind, it would puzzle an expert Limner to set them forth in their Colours, except he used all colours, in a word, they are like a Windmill and a Woman's fancy, all upon Alteration.   

THEIR AIMS AND ENDS.  
We are now come to the last description of these Land- Chameleons, what they intent and aim at, the Butt they shoot at, and that's as unjust as any of their preceding actions, did they lay down a good end, they might be the better born withal; though they did fail in some particulars to attain it: but their drift and scope as the means by which they use to accomplish it, we comprise in the se four heads.  
First, Sedition in the State; and so consequently subversion of Government.  
Secondly, Enriching themselves and to gain Credit.  
Thirdly, To Delude poor simple people.  
Fourthly, To sow Division in Religion, and to effect their designs to the full, they have assumed that way and profession to themselves, that if any delusion will work: this that they profess is the most likely. For first (they say) they come, and are sent immediately by God, now this Bait if once swallowed, sets them up to the purpose, for are not all bound then to obey when God commands, and this Exempts them from punishment too, for what Ingenuous Magistrate will oppose them, (being as they say) sent from God, left happily by so doing, he may seem to strive against God, and what need they now be questioned, having gotten allowance and authority from the Magistrate? whom need they fear, they may range and reign as they please, and then secondly, if sent of God, and authorised by the Magistrate, who will not be ready and willing to assist them with means if they sow spirituals; 'tis not to be questioned; but they Will and may, quickly reap temporals? wealth, and gifts and oblations flow in from all persons, And thirdly, This pretence being adjudged for pure and sincere, especially joined with Humility, and heavenly Messages, who would not forthwith be an Auditor, a Proselyte, & a follower? who will not be taken with such whom Heaven sends as Ambassadors, and thereupon their Doctrines are swallowed down: People will not let any of their words fall to the ground, and having now well refreshed themselves with Large Benevolences from seduced people, who will not cry up what they say, and cry down that that they disprove off, and so in the consequence down goes the settled and orthodox professors of Religion as Antichristian, and of the fourth Monarchy, and so to be utterly overthrown and cast down, all this is feazible by these cunning Artificers: These Foxes know how to lie down and prostrate Themselves as natural Foxes usually do, when they intent most mischief with glaring, with their Eyes cast up, and fixed in their heads as if they were dead, and by this subtle trick, Foxes get and catch many a prey, and these use such Arts to persuade their Auditors that they are mortified, or in a spiritual Trance, but this is done to win Disciples, to their Lure, and to persuade men of their celestial Raptures, their discourse is broken and half distracted, cunning inveygling; but certain it is, if they be so shameless and impudent in the day, in the light, what will they not do having opportunity to act in the Dark, in the night; they are indeed Monsters not of Africa but brought up in England, and whether it be safe to give Liberty long to such Foxes, who would ruin the State, overthrow Religion, seduce People, and advance Themselves above all others, 'tis left to wise and judicious persons to determine and order. Thus far the Fox has been hunted with his Litter, some more able pen ('tis hoped) will undertake to follow the Game being now hot in chase, and the Foxes out at prey, but an end is put to our pursuits at present, desiring that others would keep up the Game; and follow the Pursuit with skill and power it wilprove both for profit and pleasure. One step further,  
In the last place, consider their boldness to intrude into places of public worship, to affront, disturb, and out face both the Preacher in his Exercise, and the people from hearing, notwithstanding the commands of Authority, to the contrary, they are like to butcher's flies will venture on, though beaten for their boldness; and where they can seize, they presently taint: they pretend to be all Spiritual, yet they all love the Flesh; their women like not the Apostles Injunction, To learn in silence and subjection; but these thrust on to be Teachers, and Rulers: they like not Saint Paul's advice, who would not permit women to speak in public; but these presume so far, even to Railing and Scolding; there were some Seducers in old time, of whom 'tis said, They crept into houses; these scorn to creep or peep, but impudently rush, and run into all places, not to hear but to control the Preachers Doctrine: women are called housewives, they should in modesty keep at home; but these are Gadders and Rovers abroad; Salomen makes it a Demonstration of a naughty woman, whose feet will not stay within doors: What may be thought of these then, who are Praters, Busi-bodies, and Wanderers,  
But their chief Virago, is one who is called Martha symmond's, Alias in truth, she is wife to Mr. Bourn the Astronomer in Morefeilds, a special Light Saint. A true Martha indeed, who cumbers herself with two much business of other folk's matters, who runs and gads up and down with Missives, and leaves Letters, and sends them abroad to gain Disciples; what a bubbub did she cause in Shoreditch Church the last Lord's day, by boldly and impudently talking to, and against the Minister, till she was forced away by the Churchwardens and other Officers, and so others in other places act their parts stubbornly against all Rules of Modesty and Civility.  
'tis believed by understanding people, that they use Charms, Spells and Jncantations, by tying of Ribbons Laces Knots, and by giving some slight present, which upon the Receipt hath had strange operations upon such as have taken them, so that they have been as it were possessed and frantic, and have broken out into strange fits, as persons intoxicated, and have hereupon fallen out with those of their nearest Re●…tion, as Wives with their Husbands, and Husbands with their Wives, nud Parents with their Children, even to such an high degree, that they have left one the other, and have sold and profusely lavished and given away their Estates, even to strangers, nay prodigally and unwisely given away their wearing apparel, and have put themselves into Antic and whimsical habits, even to the scorn and derision of beholders; nay they have not only strangely Metamorphosed themselves in their habits, but some of them have been so impudently bold, as to go naked in the public streets, and Market places, though one of them was well tutourd and whipped into better manners, who of late coming through Smithfeild amongst the country Carters, who bring hay to town, was stopped by a lusty Country fellow, and asked why he disgraced himself so, the Quacker answered, the Lord had commanded him to do so, to whom the Carter very bluntly replied, and the Lord hath commanded me to whip and lash you fondly, which with a good Cart whip was seasonably performed; if more of them met with such Discipline and such rough Tutors, it would be a sure means to force them to a Reformation, and to leave off their simple Pilgrimags, and uncivil Perambulations.  
To conclude, These English Crocodiles leave no polytick ways untried to work upon Weak Proselytes, they prevail most upon the female Sex, as knowing the Woman was first seduced, and then seduced the man, in Sum, they are the Cankerwormes of Magistracy, the Ratsbane of the Ministry, the Rust of Learning, the Defilers of Modesty, the underminers of Civil Society, the Disturbers of Order, the Quicksands of Government, the Fomenters of all seditious and disorderly practices.  
In a word, they are like Pharoahs' lean and illfavourd kine, are come up here to devour the Fat and the fair ones, Religion, and Law: which if not timely stopped in their furious career, by men in place and authority, may prove the Gulf to sink all good Orders and Government, in this Commonwealth.
