And Haman said unto the King, there is a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed amongst the people in all the Provinces of thy Kingdom; and their Laws are divers from all people, neither keep they the King's Laws, therefore it is not for the King's profit to suffer them: If it please the King, let it be written that they may be destroyed, etc.  Ester. 3.8, 9

A true Information to the Nation, from the People called Quakers, etc.  
MAny and great have been the sufferings and persecutions that w● the people and servants of the Lord called Quakers, have undergone and sustained since we were gathered out of the world to be a peculiar people unto God; and many Laws and unrighteous Decrees have been made and prosecuted against us by every power as they have come up one after another, thereby thinking to root us out from being a people unto God in this Nation, or to destroy and root out the holy seed and righteous plant which the Lord God Almighty hath planted in us and amongst us; and we have ever●●●●n the ●utt, for all the Babylonish Archers to shut at, not only 〈…〉 ●his land or our Nativity, but also in every Region whe● 〈◊〉 Lord by his power hath brought us to bear witness of his 〈…〉 and powe●… and we have been aways looked upon b● man● 〈…〉 (as the Apostles were in their days) and so have been ever● where spoken against, and Antichrist in his Members had bestirred himself even where ever we come, to raise perfec●●● 〈◊〉 against us, and to seek our total ruin and extirpation i● p●ssible: and thus great opposition we have met with on every hand, and these things we have sustained not for any evil doing, but only for the exercise of our Consciences in Matters of Worship and Faith towards God, but the Lord who first separated us from our Mother's womb, and gathered us from amongst the men of this Generation to be a people to himself; he hath been always with us, and in all our sufferings which we have sustained from the hands of our cruel enemies, he hath given us courage, and boldness, and valour, so that we have been able to bear all things with patience, and he hath clothed us with the Armour of his own righteousness, and put the sword of the spirit into our hands, with which we have wrestled with the spiritual wickedness that has been in the high places, and they have not prevailed against us, to bring to pass their several Decrees and Determinations, but through the power of the Lord we have conquered and overcome, and have seen the end of many who have risen up against us: And through all these trials, and sufferings, and persecutions, the word of God hath grown and increased, and the blessed truth which we profess and bear witness to, hath greatly flourished, and spread forth its self, and many have been and are daily gathered into it, and our number is daily added unto and increased, blessed be the Lord Almighty, so that we do find (as the Apostle did in his day) that our bands and sufferings serve for the futherance of the Gospel of Christ, and for the exaltation of the worthy name of the Lord, which is the main thing we aim at; so that what ever become of these our earthly Tabenacles, or how ever they may be disposed of; we have our desire and expectation, in chat the truth prospereth and flourisheth: And we do not at all doubt nor question but that as the Lord hath been with us in times passed unto this day and hath born us up in the midst of our sufferings and trials, which we nave undergone for his name sakes; and as he hath renowned his worthy name, and spread forth his truth thereby, so he will be always with us to sustain us, bear us up, and carry us through all sufferings and tribulations whatsoever, that (for the future) may come upon us for the Gospel's sake, and that our sufferings shall still (as in times past) make for the furtherance of the glorious Gospel of Christ, and for the spreading, exaltation, and growing of his blessed truth which we profess and bear witness to: And in the faith of this we are resolved to rest in patience, waiting to receive the end thereof, and we doubt not but there are several thousands in this Nation that are like minded with us in this matter.  
And now it is in my heart (for the Information and Satisfaction of such who may desire to be informed concerning the present proceed of the Magistrates in and about this City of London, against us the people of God called Quakers) to give a brief Relation of the Heads of their proceed, that the unrighteousness and cruelty thereof may be rightly understood.  
The third day after the late Act came in force (which was made to prevent Seditious Meetings of such, who under colour and pretence of Relgious Worship, do in their Meetings Plot and Contrive Insurrections) Being the first day of the Week, and the third day of the 5th Month 1664. our friends were peaceably Assembled together at their usual Meeting place at Horsly Down in Southwark, to wait upon God and to Worship him, where a servant of the Lord was declaring the truth to the people, at which time there came a ompany of armed Soldiers very rudely into the Meeting, and as they passed in through the Entry, one of them shot of his Musket up into the House, and the Bullet went through several Sealing and came very near a Cradle where a Child use to lie: And afterwards they halled friends out of their Meeting, and brought them before three called Justices,. (v z.) John Bromfield, John Lenthall, and George Moor, who proceeded against them (according as is provided (in the aforesaid Act) against such who under pretence of Religious Worship do contrive Insurrections) although it's well known to most people in this Nation, that we are no such people, that in our Meetings use such practices, but have oft given a public testimony against them so because friends could nor for Conscience sake pay the several Fines (which was five pounds a piece) which they unjustly imposed upon them, they were to the number of 7 of them committed to the ●hite Lion prison in Southwa●k there to remain without Bail or main prize for the space of three Months. And that same night after they were brought into the Prison they were put into the common Ward amongst the Felons, who took Money by violence out of some of their Pockets, and kept it from them.  
Again, on the 10th day of the Month aforesaid, being the first day of the Week, the Soldiers, (viz.) the Red-coats (Guarded with a party of Horse) came to the aforesaid Meeting House at Horsly Down where our friends were again peaceably Assembled in the fear of the Lord to Worship him; And the said Soldiers took many of them out of their peaceable Meeting, and being carried unto the Guard at Marge●s Hill, the aforesaid Justices (so called) came and proceeded to try them as aforesaid by the late Act, but when the Witnesses came they could not at all prove that they were met under any pretence of Worship or Religious Exercises, yet notwithstanding the said Justices imposed Fines on them of five pound a piece. And for refusing to pay the said Tines, they were committed and sent to the White Lion Prison aforesaid, (to the number of 13. of them) there to remaim without Bail or main prize, for the space of three Months.  
And upon the 17th day of the fifth Month aforesaid, according to our usual manner, our friends were peaceably Assembled together at our own hired House at Mile-end-Green, and in the time of their Meeting, there came several armed Soldiers rushing in through the yard, and set Guards at the doors that none might pass out or come in; and after a while a servant of the Lord stood up to declare the word of the Lord to the people, and as he was speaking and mentioning the name of the Lord, there Came in ●●ll●am 〈…〉, and one of them in enmity and contempt, 〈…〉 name of the Devil; And commanded the Soul 〈…〉 down that was speaking, which was acc●●●●… 〈…〉 ●ook the rest of Men-friends to the 〈…〉 them into another room of the same 〈…〉 and Rider called Justices or the Peace, who there examined them of their names, places of their ●●de, and ●ge, etc. and read to them some part of the aforesaid Act made to prevent and suppress Seditious Conventicles, in which Insurrections are plotted and contrived, which Act doth not at all reach us, we being no such people which that Act maketh mention of; yet they proceeded to charge several Fines upon us (which we refusing to pay, because we were not transgressors.) They committed us to Prison in Newgate in London, there to remain without Bail or Main prize for the space of three Months, which is the utmost Penalty for the first offence (as they call it) of the late Act aforesaid.  
Again, upon th' 24th day of the 5th Month aforesaid, our Friends being met together peaceably in the fear of the Lord, to wait upon him, and to Worship him at their usual Meeting place near Wheeler-street in Sp●ttle-Fields, there came one called Captain Longman, and with him two Files of Musquettecrs, and two Constables with their guard of Halberds, Jaulins, and oother weapons. And the said Longman using many evil words to friends led the men one by one, and committed them to the Constables and Soldiers with the rest of their Guard, who brought them to a house not far off the Meeting place, and there kept them till two called Justices came to them (viz.) one C. Pitfield of Hoggsdowne, and Richard Abel, who examined them of their names and wherefore they met, etc. And then Fined them (to the number of 18.) some 5 s. some 2 s. some 1 s. which for Conscience sake they could not pay being no Offenders, and so was by the aforesaid Pitfield and Abel committed and sent to Newgate, there to remain without Bail or Main prize for the space of six days, and with them were committed ten more taken at the same Meeting, whose names they knew not; And this is to be observed by the Reader, that their committing friends for so short a time, is not because of any tenderness in the Magistrates towards friends, but contrariwise, because they may the sooner get them in Prison again upon the second and third offences as they call it, in order to the fulfilling of their envious wills, which is to expel us out of the land of our Nativity.  
Again, upon the 24th of the 5th Month aforesaid, being the first day of the Week, according to our usual manner, and at our usual Meetinghouse at Mile-end-Green in the Parish of Stepney, our friends were Assembled in the fear of the Lord to wait upon him, and to Worship him in Spirit and in Truth, and when they were thus Assembled, there came a Constable with a Company of Soldiers and Watchmen armed and violently rushed into our Meeting, and the Constable commanded the doors to be shut, and without producing any warrant for what he did, he ordered the said Soldiers and Watchmen every one to lay hold of a man which accordingly they did, and led them forth of the Meeting, and so to the Tower, and there kept them a while, and then and there brought them before those called Justices, who demanded their names, places of abode, etc. to which answer was given, and then because for Conscience sake they could not pay the several Fines unrighteously imposed on them, they were committed and sent) to Newgate Prison, there to remain without Bail or Main prize for the space of six days.  
Again, upon the 31th day of the 5th Month aforesaid, being the first day of the Week, our friends were again Assembled in the fear of the Lord to wait upon him, and to Worship him in the truth at our usual Meetinghouse at Mile-end-Green, in the Parish of Stepner, where ohn Higgins was Ministering the word of truth to the people, and there came divers Constables and other armed men, who violently rushed in upon them, and without producing any warrant for what they did they said violent hands on them, and halled them out, and had them to an Alehouse, where was William Rider and George Marsh called Justices with divers others, and being brought before them they asked their names, etc. to which answer was given according to freedom, than they imposed a Fine upon them, some five shillings, some more, some less, for Meeting together to Worship God, which they say is an offence of their Law, which for Conscience, sake friends could not pay, being indeed no transgressors of any just or righteous Law; whereupon they were committed and sent to the common Prison at Newgate, there to remain without Bail or Main prize for the sprce of five days.  
Again, upon the 7th day of the 6th Month being the first day of the Week, after our friends were parted from their Meeting place near Wheeler-street, the most part of them, only some remaining behind were seized in the Street and Alley, at the command of one C. Pitfield and T. Swallow Justices, so called and were brought to an Alehouse, and from thence committtd to Newgate by the said Pitfield and Swallow, there to remain without Bail or Main prize for the space of six days, some of them being as they said for the first offence, and some for the second, and yet they had no witness or evidence to prove that they had met together.  
And upon the 7th day of the 6th Month, aforesaid, friends being again peaceably met, together, not under colour of Religious Exercises, to plot or contrive Insurrections, but really to Worship God in spirit and in truth at our aforesaid Meetinghouse at Mile-end-Green, where there was a friend that was Ministering the truth to the people, there came divers Constables and other armed men violently in amongst them, and halled them out before William Rider and Thomas Player called Justices, to the number of 31. and after some examination imposed several Fines upon them for their Assembling together as aforesaid, which being altogether Antichristian, they could not for Conscience sake pay; whereupon they were committed and sent to Newgate, there to remain without Bail or main prize for the space of four days, some being for the first offence as they called it, and some for the second, and several of them who did not declare their names they committed to Prison there to remain till they were delivered by due course of Law.  
Again, on the 14th day of the 6th Month aforesaid, being the first day of the Week, our friends were Assembled according to their wont manner at their usual Meeting-place at Mile-end-Green, where there was a friend that was Ministering the truth to the people, in which time there came divers Constables and other armed men, and by force and violence halled them out of their peaceble Meeting, and brought them before the aforesaid William Rider and George Marsh, who examined them whether their coming there were to Worship God? to which they could not deny, but innocently confess it, and vindicated their right and privilege so to do, being peaceable subjects of this Nation, and in no wise disturbers of the peace, for which they were declared by the said Marsh and Rider to be convicted as transgressors of the late Law made to suppress seditious Conventicles, some of the first offence, some of the second as they call it, and some others that were for the third, and for refusing to pay the several Fines then imposed upon them for their thus Meeting to Worship God, they were committed and sent to the common Goal in Newgate there to remain without Bail or main prize for the space of two days, such as were for the first and second account; and such as were on the third account to be kept till the next Goal-delivery, on order to their trial for Transportation.  
And upon the 14th day of the 6th Month aforesaid, being the first day of the Week, we being peaceably met together at our usual meetingplace at the Bull and Mouth in London, the Sheriffs with a certain number of Military officers, and with guards consisting of the Mayors-officers, Sheriffs-men, City Marshals and their men, with the Constable's Guards, came and entered our meeting, and in a furious manner pressed towards the place where a friend was declaring the way of truth and salvation unto the people, and commanded him to come down, which he being not free to do at their command, two of the officers stepped upon a form near unto him, and in a great fury drew their Swords, and one of them with his hanger smote him, and others of them laid on several friends with their swords and staves till one of them broke his sword, and so when they had pulled out the friend that was speaking, they came in more of them and halled out friends both men and women, and brought them one, and two, and three, and four at a time to the number of about 200 in all to Guild-Hall, and several friends they took in the streets that only stood to behold the cruelty of their proceed towards us, and brought them also to the same place, where they were kept close prisoners till about midnight, and so that their works of darkness might not arpear to the public view of the people, they ordered the Marshal of the City with a very great guard of halberd-men to conduct us to Newgate about that time of night, which with Torches lighted was accordingly done, though no M●ttimus at all was sent with us, and the next day about ●o of us were called for again to Guila-Hall, where they were brought before the Mayor, and being examined concerning their meeting contrary to the late Act, several Fines were imposed on them, which because for Conscience sake they could not pay, being no transgressors of any just Law, they were recommitted, one for three months, and another for one monech, and others for 14 days, though that which they called their offences were all alike▪ And on the 14 day following they called for about 12 more of us, that were taken the first day of the Week aforesaid, to the Guild-Hall before the Mayor and Thomas ●●…ams Alderman, where we were examined apart concerning our meeting contrary to the late Act as they said, and when they had imposed several Fines on us, and we refused to pay as transgressor, we were recommitted to Newgate, there to remain for the space of 14 days, and the 6th day of the same week about 60 more of the same Company that were taken at the Bull and Mouth the first day of the week aforesaid, were called for to the Old Bail, where the Mayor was with some others, who examined them concerning their meeting as aforesaid, which being done and the several Fines imposed on them, refused to be paid, they were recommitted to the prison at Newgate, there to remain for the space of 9 days without Bail or main prize, so the illegalness of their proceed against us may hereby be understood, for they kept many or useful five days without any warrant, or being brought before any Magistrate, which is contrary to any known Law of England.  
Also it is observable, that the witnesses that came in against us when we were examined at the Guild-Hall, were such that made no Conscience of their words, for when friends that were taken in the street were brought before the Mayor and examined, these witnesses would testify chat they took them in the meeting.  
Moreover on the 16th day of the month aforesaid, being the 3d day of the week, when we were met together in our prison room to wait upon God and worship him, one of the Keeper's men came in amongst us, and fetched him away that was speaking, and put him in the hole where murderers use to be put after sentence of death, and there kept a certain time. And on the 18th day of the month aforesaid, being the 5th day of the week, as we were again assembled in our prison room in the same manner and to the same end aforesaid, the Keeper's man came in amongst us again, and because he could not come at the friend that was speaking by reason of the throng of friends that stood about him, he fell laying on both men and women with a great staff, and some of the Felons that were with him did also beat friends with their fists, and one of the women thiefs came with a knife, swearing she would stab friends, and did attempt so to do though prevented, yet after a little season that tumult was qualified, and the friend that was speaking amongst us was taken away and put into another part of the prison.  
Again, upon the 21th day of the 6th month aforesaid friends being pea eably assembled in the fear of the Lord to wait upon him and woship him in their meetinghouse at Mile-end-Greer, there came several Constables with their guard, behaving themselves very rudely and uncivilly towards friends, but after a while came two called Justices, Tho. Player and Will. Rider, and one of them commanded that the friend who was declaring the truth to the people should be fetched out, which was hastily done, and the rest after him were fetched out one by one, and there examined by the said Player and Rider concerning the cause of their being at that place, to which they answered, that their coming was to worship the Lord; then they asked friends if they would pay half a Crown a piece, to which they answered, nay, they could not make themselves transgressors, when they knew they were innocent; whereupon they were committed eleven of them to the common Goal at Newgate, there to remain without Bail or main prize for the space of two days.  
Moreover, upon the 21th day of the 6th month aforesaid, friends (as they themselves had declared) being constrained in their spirits to continue the assembling of themselves together at their usual meetingplace at the Peal in John's street, there to wait upon the Lord and to worship him, there came amongst them one Thomas Steaks, and one Rich. Thorndell, and one Matthews, with many other Constables and others to assist them, and seized on the most of men-friends, and led them by the arm out of the meeting, and from thence to the Sessions-house called Hickses-hall, and brought them up into an upper chamber where there was three called Justices or the peace, viz. Reg●nald Fost●r, John Smith, Tho. Lucy, who examined every particular of them concerning the end of their meeting together, to which answer was given, that the intent of their meeting was to wait upon the Lord, so that they made their crime, and for so doing they Fined them five shillings a piece, and because for Conscience sake they could not pay it being no transgressors of any righteous Law, they were committed and sent to Newgate to the number of about 28 there to remain without Bail or main prize for the space of 4 days, and then to be discharged.  
Again, upon the 21th of the 6th month aforesaid, friends being again peaceably assembled at the ●ull and Mourn to worship God in spirit and truth, the Marshal of the City with Constables and several military officers, and other assistants came with swords and halberds, and entered our meetinghouse, and violently halled out most or all that were there present assembled, and left them in the street, yet the doors being left open, and way being made for them, they returned into their meetinghouse again, and a friend standing up to declare the truth to the people, was after a little time pulled down by one Clerk, Captain of a Train-band, and others with halberds, and carried away to the Guild-Hall, where several others, were sent also, and whilst they were kept there, the Mayor of the City, with the Sheriffs and Richard Brown, with several officers of the City both civil and military came to the Bull and Mouth, and with carnal weapons entered the meeting the second time, and brought out friends before the Mayor and Richard Brown, who is a man so far from keeping the peace, that he is usually observed to be the first that breaks it, who then and there kicked some friends till thereby he drew blood from them, and pulled the hair off the heads of several men, and pinched several of the women's arms till they were black, by which all people may easily judge whether this man be fitly qualified to sit in the place of a Magistrate, or whether he be not more fit to have the Law executed, upon him for those inhuman gross abuses offered by him to our friends, but the Mayor was more moderate and offered no such kind of abuses, yet proceeded to the examination of friends concerning their names, places of abode, &c which being done, they imposed several Fines on them that told their names, which was to the number of about 159 which Fines they could not for Conscience sake pay, whereupon they were committed to Newgate prison, there to remain without Bail or main prize for the space of 4 days, and by reason of the great number that were in the prison before, there was not house room allowed them to lie down one by another, nor yet scarcely to sit, by reason whereof many were constrained to walk upon the leads for several nights, and as for those who did not tell their names which were in number about 27 they were committed to Briaewell, note here that though their Mittimus was made for 9 days, yet for dispatch of their intended work against us, they altered the Mittimus and ordered them to be discharged at 4 days end.  
Again, on the 28 of the 6●h month aforesaid, friends being peaceably met together at their meetingplace near Wheeler-street to wait upon the Lord and to worship him, there came a company of soldiers, and by the command of C. Pitfield and T. Swallow (called Justices, who were then present) took friends out of the meeting, and guarded them to an Alehouse, where they imposed several Fines upon them for their assembling to worship God, and friends refusing to pay their several Fines imposed, were committed and sent to the common Goal of Newgate, to the number of 33 there to remain without Bail or main prize for the space of ten days, only some of them to be kept till the next Goal-delivery to be proceeded against in order to trial for Transportation.  
And on the same day aforesaid, at Mile-and green according to our wont manner, friends were again assembled peaceably to wait upon the Lord, in which time there came a company of halberd men and kept guard over them, till 3 called Justices, viz. W. Rider, T. Player, and G. Marsh, with a considerable party of soldiers came also, who fetched friends out of their meeting, both men and women, in all between 30 & 40. And the said ●●der with his company examined friends according to their usual manner, and committed them to Newgate, some on the first and some on the second offence as they call it, there to remain without Bail or main prize for the space of 24 hours, and some of them being on the 3 account, are to be proceeded against for Transportation, whose trial we expect this present Sessions, but 4 of the aforesad company being young Maids, they sent to Bridewell, two of which were put in the stocks.  
Moreover, it is observable that six of our friends being passing through an alley between John street and J●anses the same day aforesaid were taken by Constables, and carried to Hickses-hall before 3 called Justices, who proceeded against them as usually they do when they take us out of our meetings, and sent them to Newgate, there to remain without Bail or main prize for the space of 3 days, only one of them to be kept on the 3d offence (as they call it) till the next Goal-delivery, in order to Transportation.  
Again, upon the 28 aforesaid, our friends being peaceably assembled at the Bul● and Mouth according to their wont manner to worship God, there came Ant●●… Ba●eman Mayor, and our old adversary R. Brown, who hath not yet answered for the blood of many that was not long since even stifled up in noisome holes and prisons through his occasion) and with their usual guards of both civil and military officers, and placed themselves near the door, and caused friends to be brought out before them, where they examined them according to their usual manner, and for refusing to pay the several fines by the said Magistrates (unrighteously) imposed on them, they were committed to the number of 60 at least and sent to Newgate (a backway and not through the streets that their works of darkness might the less appear to the view of the world) there to be kept without bail or main prize for the space of 4 days, such of them as are for the 1 and 2 offence (as they call it) others of them that are on the 3 account, the Keeper of the prison into whose custody they are usually sent, receives orders from the Magistrates to observe their names, and to secure them till Goal delivery, and as the Keeper saith, he hath now in his custody about 19 which are (as he saith) to come to their trial (for their 3 offence so called) this present Sessions; And this is still observable, that R. Brown according to his wont manner did (the day abovesaid) tear the hair of friends heads with his own hands, and pinch the women, and abuse many in a very inhuman and sad manner.  
And this, is very observable, that because their works of darkness (which they may well be ashamed of) should not appear or be much taken notice of; their usual manner is (after the time is expired that friends are committed for) to put them out of prison in the night season  
So here all may see and take notice how vigilant some of the Magistrates of this City of Lond. are in suppressing the meetings and assemblies of the people of God, whose gathering and assembling is for no other end, but only to wait upon the Lord, and to worship him in spirit and truth according to the practice of the primitive Christians, and because we know, and are persuaded in our Consciences we cannot forsake this godly exercise, whatsoever we suffer for the continuance thereof: And we may appeal unto all sober people through this Nation (and to the witness of God in the hearts of our persecutors) who have known our manner of life and conversation, whether or no we have deserved these things at the hands of these men, or whether they are righteously or unrighteously inflicted upon us; And although they may say they have a Law for what they do, etc. And according to their Law they ought to do it, and if they should neglect the putting this Law in execution, they shall not be accounted the King's friends, etc. I answer, so said the Jews concerning Christ; We have a Law, and by our Law he ought to die; and further said unto Pilate, if thou let this man alone thou art nof Caesar's friend, yet their saying they had a Law, etc. did not make their proceed just, no more this Law (by which these Magistrates of London doth now proceed against us to prison us in order to banishment, and so to death (if we return again) bear them out in what they do, or render their proceeddings just in God's account in the day when the Lord shall arise to make Inquisition for the blood of his Saints and servants, and to render to every one a just reward according to their do; neither in that day can the Lawmakers bear out the Executioners of it, but every one must give an account to God for his own do, therefore it concerns the Executioners of this Law (who have taken in hand this unrighteous (as it will prove) and cruel work) to consider what they are doing, and whether they can stand justified in the sight of God in what they do: For certainly (whether you will believe or no) the Lord is with us and will take our part, and will plead, our cause, and what is done unto us, he takes as done unto himself; And they that strive to suppress us do not strive against us only, but against the Lord also who is (our strength) and in the end he will surely be too hard for them, and will grind them to powder and bruise them as in a mortar, except they speedily repent.  
And furthermore, it may be seen how the enmity of the devourer doth appear in these proceed, who the sooner to hasten this work of banishment (and death upon return) doth, usually commit friends for a very few days; nay, sometime but for 24 hours that so they may have them soon again upon another account. Oh sad times indeed, when (according to appearance), the greatest favour that can be shown us (if they proceed, against us at all by the late Law) is to keep us in prison as long as they can; when in the mean time Drunkards and Stage players, and (I may say) all kind of Vice tolerated, and no notice taken of it by these men who are so zealously bend against an innocent and harmless people, that cannot run with them into the same excess of Riot.  
THE END.
