Created by converting TCP files to TEI P5 using tcp2tei.xsl, TEI @ Oxford.
Re-processed by University of Nebraska-Lincoln and Northwestern, with changes to facilitate morpho-syntactic tagging. Gap elements of known extent have been transformed into placeholder characters or elements to simplify the filling in of gaps by user contributors.
EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO.
EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org).
The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source.
Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data.
Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so.
Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as <gap>s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor.
The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines.
Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).

A

for
William
Rogers
,
in
return
for
his
Rhyming
Scourge
,
&c.
THe
Preacher
tells
us
,
that
beneath
the
Sun
There
's
no
new
thing
:
for
,
That
which
shall
be
done
,
Hath
been
before
,
And
what
is
now
a
doing
Shall
acted
be
again
,
in
Times
ensuing
.
●…t
none
be
shaken
,
therefore
,
in
his
Mind
,
〈◊〉
he
Gods
People
now
Reviled
find
,
Reproach't
with
bitter
Words
,
and
Vilifi'd
,
With
filthy
Slanders
loaded
,
and
bely'd
By
Wicked
men
:
Such
was
the
Churche's
state
Of
old
,
as
sacred
Story
doth
relate
.
That
Railing
Herauld
of
th'
Assyrian
Host
,
The
foul-mouth'd
Rabshakeh
,
that
man
of
Boast
,
Who
from
Senacherib
,
Assyrian's
King
,
Did
a
proud
Message
unto
Iudah
bring
;
When
he
design'd
the
faithful
Iews
to
draw
From
their
Observance
of
the
holy
Law
,
He
labour'd
to
perswade
them
they
had
left
The
way
of
God
already
,
and
bereft
Themselves
,
by
that
means
,
of
all
ground
of
hope
That
God
would
them
defend
.
This
was
the
scope
Of
his
false
Reas'ning
with
them
:
If
,
said
he
,
〈◊〉
answer
,
In
the
Lord
our
God
trust
we
;
Is
not
that
He
,
whose
Altars
and
High-places
Your
Hezekiah
takes
down
and
defaces
;
And
hath
to
Judah
and
Jerus'lem
said
,
Your
Worship
at
this
Altar
shall
be
made
?
By
this
,
he
hop'd
their
Confidence
to
shake
,
In
God
the
Lord
,
and
them
〈◊〉
make
Of
God's
Protection
,
and
from
thence
afford
An
open
Ear
to
his
seducing
Word
.
And
that
he
might
the
more
amuze
them
,
he
Pretends
his
Mission
from
the
Lord
to
be
.
Am
I
,
says
he
,
come
up
without
the
Lord
Against
this
place
,
to
put
it
to
the
Sword
?
The
Lord
(
adds
he
;
for
in
a
Lye
he
'll
stand
)
Unto
me
said
,
Go
up
against
this
Land.
Then
let
n●…t
Hezekiah
make
you
trust
Still
in
the
Lord
,
saying
,
The
Lord
(
who
's
just
)
Will
surely
us
deliver
,
and
this
City
Shall
not
be
subject
to
Assyria
's
Pity
.
To
this
effect
that
Wretch
,
with
strained
Voice
Proclaim'd
,
and
in
his
Lewdness
did
rejoyce
A
little
while
;
but
,
e'er
't
was
long
,
the
Rod
Taught
him
what
't
was
to
Rail
at
Israel's
God.
When
Treacherous
Sanballat
and
Tobiah
Perceiv'd
the
godly
zeal
of
Nehemiah
,
The
care
and
pains
he
took
,
his
Diligence
The
holy
City
with
a
Wall
to
fence
,
How
hard
he
labour'd
(
in
despite
of
them
)
To
build
the
Breaches
of
Ierusalem
;
Set
up
the
Gates
thereof
,
and
hang
the
Dore
,
That
they
no
longer
could
,
as
heretofore
,
Go
in
and
out
at
pleasure
,
and
prophane
,
With
unclean
Mixtures
,
Iacob's
Seed
again
;
Bring
in
mixt
Marriages
,
and
thereby
make
God's
People
him
offend
,
him
them
forsake
:
At
first
it
griev'd
them
sore
to
hear
some
tell
Of
one
that
sought
the
good
of
Israel
.
Then
when
they
found
the
Work
would
be
begun
,
They
laught
,
and
into
scornful
Scoffs
did
run
;
And
by
Derision
and
Disdainful
Cries
,
Declar'd
how
much
they
did
the
Work
despise
.
But
when
they
understood
the
Work
went
on
,
And
was
in
likely
posture
to
be
done
,
They
waxt
exceeding
wroth
,
and
strait
combin'd
Together
to
oppose
it
;
with
them
joyn'd
Th'
Arabian
,
Ammonite
and
Ashdodite
,
In
League
,
against
Jerusalem
to
fight
:
And
all
to
the
intent
,
to
bring
to
nought
The
Work
,
which
God
had
by
his
Servants
wrought
.
Their
War-like
Preparations
proving
vain
,
They
use
a
Stratagem
,
they
lay
a
Train
To
catch
the
Innocent
;
thus
him
they
greet
,
Come
,
let
us
in
one
place
together
meet
.
Fair
the
Pretence
appeared
,
but
their
Thought
Was
,
by
that
Medium
,
to
have
Mischief
wrought
.
Good
Nehemiah
saw
their
Snare
,
and
scap'd
The
hands
of
them
that
for
his
Ruin
gap'd
.
I
am
,
quoth
he
,
about
a
Work
too
great
To
leave
it
,
and
come
down
,
with
you
to
treat
.
Four
times
(
so
did
they
long
to
circumvent
The
Righteous
)
They
the
self
same
Message
sent
And
the
same
Answer
did
as
oft
receive
,
I
may
not
stop
,
the
Work
's
too
great
to
leave
.
When
thus
Sanballat
saw
his
Counsels
fail
,
That
nor
by
Force
,
nor
Guile
,
he
could
prevail
;
With
Rage
and
Envy
swell'd
,
at
length
he
burst
,
And
cast
up
Gall
,
and
whatsoe'er
was
worst
;
Not
only
Nehemiah
to
defame
,
But
bring
an
Odium
on
the
Jewish
Name
.
And
that
he
might
his
Slander
publick
make
,
(
As
publick
as
he
could
)
this
way
did
take
.
He
gave
unto
his
Servant
a
command
,
To
bear
a
Letter
open
in
his
hand
,
In
which
he
did
suggest
an
Accusation
Upon
Report
,
(
a
sly
Insinuation
)
That
Nehemiah
had
imploy'd
the
Iews
To
build
the
Wall
,
that
he
might
them
abuse
,
And
thrust
himself
upon
them
for
their
King
,
And
thereby
double
Bondage
on
them
bring
.
And
,
that
he
might
the
Crown
the
better
reach
,
He
had
appointed
Prophets
too
,
to
Preach
So
of
him
at
Jerusalem
,
and
say
,
There
is
a
King
in
Iudah
at
this
day
.
Thus
wrought
Tobiah
,
Sanballat
,
and
those
That
with
them
joyn'd
,
the
Work
of
God
t'
oppose
.
One
while
,
by
Scoffing
,
Scorning
and
Deriding
,
Another
while
,
by
Force
and
Factious
Siding
;
Then
by
Deceit
,
and
many
a
subtil
Wile
,
In
hopes
they
might
the
Innocent
beguile
;
And
lastly
,
by
a
publick
Defamation
,
To
make
the
Iews
a
Scorn
to
Gentile-Nation
.
When
proud
Diotrephes
,
whose
swelling
Breast
,
Love
of
Pre-eminence
had
long
possest
,
Had
by
Surmize
and
false
Insinuation
,
Leaven'd
a
Party
in
the
Congregation
,
The
Rancour
of
his
Venom'd
heart
brake
forth
Against
some
,
in
the
Church
,
of
greatest
Worth
,
Prating
against
them
,
with
Malicious
words
,
As
,
in
his
third
Epistle
,
Iohn
Records
;
Nor
only
Prating
,
but
from
Words
proceeds
To
work
Division
by
Mischievous
Deeds
,
Opposing
what
the
Inspir'd
Apostle
writ
Conducing
to
the
Churches
Benefit
.
By
these
Examples
,
plainly
it
appears
,
How
Satan
plaid
his
Pranks
in
former
years
,
What
Arts
he
us'd
,
how
craftily
he
wrought
,
What
Instruments
,
w●…ereby
to
work
,
he
sought
;
One
while
,
professed
Enemies
,
and
then
Another
while
he
chose
false
Brethren
.
And
though
those
Agents
now
are
dead
and
gone
,
Satan
remains
the
same
,
the
Evil
One.
He
Mischief
always
to
the
Church
intends
,
And
Mischief
to
effect
,
his
Agents
sends
.
Though
Rabshakih
be
dead
,
Tobiah
Rotten
,
Sanballat
and
Diotrephes
forgotten
,
The
Wicked
Spirit
that
in
them
did
strive
Against
Gods
Truth
and
Church
,
is
still
alive
;
And
other
Instruments
doth
daily
raise
,
To
hinder
Truth
's
fair
Progress
,
in
these
dayes
.
He
Agents
has
,
great
store
,
of
ev'ry
size
And
sort
.
How
num'rous
are
Truth
's
Enemies
!
Yet
blest
be
God!
A
greater
Number
's
those
That
stand
for
Truth
,
than
those
that
it
oppose
.
I
list
not
here
a
Muster-Roll
to
make
Of
all
who
,
from
without
,
in
hand
did
take
To
Battel
against
Truth
,
and
shake
their
Spears
At
Israel's
Camp
within
these
twenty
years
.
Nor
do
I
purpose
to
enum'rate
all
,
Who
,
in
that
time
,
themselves
did
Quakers
call
,
That
through
Misguided
Zeal
,
or
Discontent
,
Their
Bows
against
their
Brethren
have
bent
.
But
since
some
few
,
of
late
,
appear
to
be
With
Rage
and
Envy
fill'd
,
to
that
degree
,
That
with
more
Bitterness
than
all
the
rest
,
Their
Malice
against
Truth
they
have
exprest
,
My
purpose
is
to
single
out
from
these
Him
,
that
appears
as
their
Diotrephes
.
And
that
is
ROGERS
:
For
though
Crisp
and
Bug
,
With
other
some
,
do
at
the
same
Oare
Tug
,
And
Toil
hard
at
it
too
,
with
all
their
Might
,
Yet
can
they
do
no
more
but
shew
their
Spite
.
And
for
the
rest
,
that
lie
behind
the
Skreen
,
And
move
the
Wheels
,
but
like
not
to
be
seen
;
Although
they
help
to
carry
on
the
Work
,
I
take
less
notice
of
them
,
while
they
Lurk
.
Them
therefore
leaving
,
I
return
again
,
To
view
Will.

in

told
What
those

Quakers
us'd
to
preach
of

,
(
Which
yet
thou
dost
in

so
unclear
,
That

)
Thou
slily
dost

That

From
that
great
Truth
they

insisted

thy

did

And
Quakers
still
(
say
I
)
do
preach
the
same
,
[
Christ's
Light
's
our
Guide
]
and
preach
it
in
Christ's
Name
;
And
that
it
fallen
man
Would
teach
,
if
he
Would
be
perswaded
by
it
taught
to
be
.
●…ut
fallen
man
rebels
,
and
often
kicks
Against
this
inward
Teacher
,
when
it
pricks
.
And
that
's
the
soundest
Reason
can
be
brought
,
Why
thou
,
being
fall'n
from
Truth
,
remain'st
untaught
.
Christ's
Teaching
by
his
Spirit
few
deny'd
,
Thou
say'st
.
Why
Few
?
Let
Truth
the
case
decide
.
If
[
few
]
relates
to
Friends
,
there
was
not
any
:
If
to
the
World
,
not
few
,
but
very
many
,
Christ's
Teachings
by
his
Spirit
did
deny
,
And
'gainst
immediate
inward
Teachings
cry
.
Now
take
which
course
thou
wilt
,
't
is
plain
in
view
,
That
what
thou
hast
asserted
is
Untrue
.
Thus
run'st
thou
on
,
till
thou
thy
way
hast
lost
,
And
run'st
thy
heedless
head
against
a
Post.
Look
not
,
said
they
,
to
us
,
't
is
our
concern
,
That
you
from
th'
Light
within
your
duty
learn
;
So
thou
report'st
.
The
same
concern
remains
Upon
Friends
still
,
say
I
:
Their
Care
,
their
P●…ns
;
Is
exercis'd
in
this
,
that
all
may
learn
,
From
Light
within
their
Duty
,
and
discern
The
Light
's
true
Voice
,
which
never
did
oppose
In
some
,
what
from
the
same
in
others
rose
.
And
,
if
some
said
,
Look
not
to
us
(
which
yet
,
I
ne'er
saw
prov'd
in
aught
that
thou
hast
writ
)
It
cannot
well
in
other
sence
be
took
,
That
they
would
not
others
so
should
look
To
them
,
as
thereby
to
neglect
or
slight
The
inward
Teachings
of
the
heav'nly
Light.
And
that
,
all
faithful
Friends
at
this
day
are
As
careful
to
prevent
,
as
e'er
they
were
.
But
that
Friends
ever
●…eemed
it
unright
,
To
look
to
one
another
,
in
the
Light
,
To
help
,
encourage
,
comfort
any
Brother
,
Be
good
Examples
one
unto
another
,
To
stir
the
pure
Mind
up
,
provoke
to
Love
,
And
to
good
Works
,
●…s
God
thereto
doth
move
;
That
ever
this
by
Friends
condemned
was
,
I
never
heard
,
●…or
to
believe
see
cause
.
We
read
,
that
the
Apostles
,
(
chiefly
Paul
)
On
the
believing
Christians
oft
did
call
To
follow
them
,
as
they
themselves
were
found
The
followers
of
Christ
:
Was
this
unsound
In
them
?
If
not
,
how
comes
it
now
to
be
Exclaim'd
on
,
as
so
high
a
Crime
,
by
thee
?
But
of
this
Subject
,
William
,
thou
hast
writ
Before
;
and
I
at
large
have
answer'd
it
.
What
in
thy
Book
comes
next
,
is
very
dark
,
And
,
as
it
stands
,
seems
quite
besides
the
Mark.
From
th'
Scriptures
they
Light
,
such
a
Teacher
prov'd
,
As
into
Corners
could
not
be
remov'd
:
These
are
the
words
;
If
Printer
be
in
fault
,
(
Which
I
to
know
,
have
the
Errata
sought
,
●…t
find
no
mention
of
it
there
)
then
he
The
blame
must
bear
,
and
set
the
Author
free
.
●…an
while
,
so
far
as
I
thy
meaning
guess
,
〈◊〉
will
Reply
,
and
readily
confess
,

ev'ry
one
,
who
in
the
Gospel-Path

,
such
a
Teacher
hath

〈◊〉

into

Corner

,
●…hich
from
the
holy
Scripture
may
be
prov'd
.
●…hich
if
it
be
of
th'
inward
Teacher
meant
,

I
to
take
it
here
,
am
well
content

do
the

plainly

And

E●…r
,
〈◊〉

,
me
too

and

I
have
enlarg'd
,
because
I
see
thou'
rt
bent
To
vilifie
those
Teachers
Christ
hath
sent
.
Thou
add'st
(
while
speaking
of
Teacher
prov'd
,
That
into
Corners
could
not
be
remov'd
)
But
did
not
preach
it
up
,
a
slight
to
bring
,
On
holy
Scriptures
,
pen'd
for
our
Learning
.
What
means
this
,
William
?
Dost
thou
any
know
Amongst
the
Quakers
,
who
do
now
preach
so
?
Name
,
if
thou
canst
,
among
us
all
,
one
Friend
,
That
slights
the
Scriptures
for
our
Learning
pen'd
.
Such
dark
Suggestions
do
from
Envy
●…ow
,
And
a
malicious
concred
Mind
they
show
.
For
selfish
ends
,
thou
sayst
,
some
thus
did
se●…
,
You
see
not
right
,
your
Light
directs
not
well
.
Thy
drift
is
here
,
the
Quakers
to
compare
With
the
Worlds
Teachers
,
who
in
Darkness
are
;
And
so
art
thou
.
The
cases
differ
quite
:
For
their
Objection
was
against
the
Light
;
But
so
's
not
ours
.
You
see
not
right
,
they
said
,
The
fault
whereof
upon
the
Light
they
laid
.
We
see
,
and
truly
,
that
you
see
not
right
,
But
far
be
't
from
us
to
reproach
the
Light.
We
never
say
,
the
Light
directs
not
well
:
We
tell
you
,
That
you
from
the
Light
are
fell
.
Their
case
with
ours
,
doth
no
proportion
bear
,
But
serves
to
make
thy
Envy
more
appear
.
In
all
these
Passages
that
I
have
quoted
,
And
divers
others
that
I
have
not
noted
,
Of
the
same
tendency
with
these
,
thy
aim
Is
,
by
Insinuation
to
defame
Gods
faithful
Servants
,
and
beget
suspition
,
That
they
have
lost
their
primitive
condition
:
Whenas
it
is
indeed
thyself
,
and
those
Who
with
thee
joyn
.
Truths
Order
to
oppose
.
That
art
from
Truth
and
Godliness
departed
,
And
leagu'd
in
War
against
the
honest
hearted
;
Whom
,
with
malicious
Mind
,
and
words
untrue
,
Thou
,
in
the
following
Lines
dost
thus
pursue
.
What
Hypocrites
,
are
all
such
Quakers
then
,
As
touching
Souls
concern
,
have
said
Amen
,
On
the
meer
credit
of
auother's
Lines
,
That
seeking
Self
,
from
Scripture-Truth's
declines
.
Here
's
Slander
by
the
Lump
:
A
Whole-sale
Trade
:
Who
are
the
Quakers
thou
dost
thus
upraid
?
Come
to
Particulars
;
leave
gen'ral
Work
:
Deceit
,
thou
knowst
,
in
Generals
doth
Lurk
.
Name
none
'gainst
whom
thou
darest
undertake
,
The
charge
thou
here
hast
publisht
,
good
to
make
,
And
make
it
good
too
:
I
will
then
declare
,
He
and
thy self
,
may
make
an
even
pair
.
Hadst
thou
consider'd
,
as
it
thee
behov'd
,
How
many
things
must
in
this
Charge
be
prov'd
;
Not
only
that
the
Author
of
those
Lines
,
Which
Souls
concern
,
from
Scripture
Truth
's
declines
,
And
seeketh
self
;
but
that
some
Quakers
do
,
On
his
meer
credit
,
say
Amen
thereto
:
It
might
perhaps
,
have
thee
more
wary
made
,
And
the
loose
Ramblings
of
thy
Pen
have
staid
.
But
when
dark
Envy
once
the
Eye
doth
blind
,
It
bars
Consideration
from
the
Mind
.
Have
any
told
thee
,
that
they
said
Amen
On
the
meer
credit
of
another
?
Then
Prethee
conceal
them
not
,
disclose
their
Names
,
And
let
them
of
their
Follies
bear
the
Shames
.
But
if
none
so
have
told
thee
,
prithee
,
whence
Assum'st
thou
to
thy self
the
Confidence
,
To
dive
mens
Hearts
,
and
undertake
to
know
The
only
Motive
whereupon
they
go
?
Thou
,
that
hast
so
derided
inward
S●…se
,
Wilt
not
pretend
,
I
hope
,
to
judge
from
thence
.
And
if
thou
hast
not
been
expresly
told
By
themselves
,
how
dar'st
thou
be
so
bold
And
positive
,
that
some
have
said
Amen
On
the
meer
credit
of
another
,
when
,
For
ought
thou
know'st
,
they
had
an
inward
sense
The
thing
was
right
,
and
said
Amen
from
thence
.
And
that
Amen
may
to
another's
words
In
Truth
be
said
,
the
Scripture
Proof
affords
.
And
for
that
cause
th'
Apostle
doth
command
,
To
use
a
Tongue
that
People
understand
.
In
thy
third
page
,
thy
Mouth
thou
open'st
wide
,
To
Rail
at
Fox
,
his
Preachers
and
his
Pride
.
Thy
Railing
's
slighted
,
and
laid
under
foot
,
And
for
the
rest
,
I
'll
say
but
this
unto
't
;
George
Fox
is
,
of
the
Truth
,
a
faithful
Teacher
,
And
hath
been
from
the
first
:
but
has
no
Preacher
That
he
calls
his
.
They
that
by
thee
are
meant
,
Are
Preachers
that
,
as
he
,
by
Christ
are
sent
.
I
dare
thee
but
one
Preacher
to
impeach
,
That
was
by
him
commissioned
to
preach
.
And
as
for
Pride
,
hadst
thou
been
half
so
humble
,
Thou
hadst
not
climb'd
so
high
,
to
take
this
tumble
.
Thou
sayst
,
He
fram'd
i'
th'
Church
a
Government
.
I
say
,
not
he
,
but
Christ
,
that
had
him
sent
.
Christ
,
by
his
Spirit
,
first
in
him
did
move
:
The
Church
the
same
,
in
Spirit
did
approve
.
When
Deacons
first
were
in
the
Church
appointed
,
By
those
that
with
the
Spirit
were
anointed
,
Was
that
appointment
to
be
call'd
their
own
,
Or
Christ's
,
whose
Life
and
Pow'r
through
them
was
shown
?
Paul
in
the
Church
did
sundry
things
ordain
,
(
Bear
with
the
word
,
the
Scripture
speaks
it
p●…in
)
For
Order
sake
.
Was
therefore
th'
Order
his
?
No
sure
,
not
his
,
but
Christ's
:
And
so
in
this
.
Thou
Cavil'st
too
,
that
(
after
Government
)
Preachers
,
approv'd
by
man
,
beyond
Seas
went.
This
too
,
perhaps
,
may
serve

〈◊〉
Mission

name
.
Canst
thou
imagin
,
they
who
thus
were
sent
,
On
the
meer
Motion
of
th'
Apostle
went
?
No
:
They
,
no
question
,
in
themselves
did
find
The
same
good
Motion
stirring
up
their
Mind
.
With
what
the
good
Apostle
did
advise
,
The
holy
Ghost
in
them
did
harmonize
.
Titus
his
case
so
clearly
is
exprest
,
That
it
may
serve
to
open
all
the
rest
.
Him
Paul
to
Corinth
had
desir'd
to
go
;
He
thereunto
a
Readiness
doth
show
:
But
why
?
God
put
it
in
his
heart
to
do
What
the
Apostle
did
exhort
him
to
.
Peter
and
Iohn
,
Luke
tells
us
,
being
sent
By
the
Apostles
,
to
Samaria
went.
The
Church
too
,
after
Stephen's
fatal
Stroke
,
Sent
Barnabas
as
far
as
Antiock
.
Examples
of
this
kind
are
many
found
,
The
holy
Scriptures
do
therewith
abound
.
One
Instance
more
is
in
my
mind
to
give
,
Of
some
that
in
the
purest
Age
did
live
,
Ev'n
holy
Barnabas
and
blessed
Saul
,
(
Whose
Christian
Name
was
after
called
Paul
)
That
these
were
sent
by
Simon
,
and
the
rest
,
In
Scripture
positively
is
exprest
:
Yet
in
the
very
words
that
follow
next
,
It
is
recorded
in
the
holy
Text
,
That
they
were
by
the
holy
Ghost
sent
forth
:
Whence
plainly
follows
,
(
and
indeed
't
is
worth
Our
Observation
)
that
what
those
men
did
Is
to
the
holy
Ghost
attributed
.
And
there
's
great
Reason
that
it
should
be
so
,
Since
what
they
did
,
did
from
the
Spirit
flow
,
Yet
,
think
I
,
not
the
other
two
did
go
Without
a
Motion
,
in
themselves
,
thereto
.
But
,
William
,
that
which
frets
thee
most
of
all
,
And
makes
an
overflowing
of
thy
Gall
,
I●…
,
that
the
Church
hath
Money
to
supply
The
just
occasions
of
her
Ministry
,
When
they
,
to
preach
the
Word
,
are
mov'd
to
travel
Beyond
the
Seas
.
At
this
thou
thus
dost
cavil
;
S●…h
Church
men
unto
Christ's
Church
strangers
are
,
And
most
rely
upon
their
Churches
car
:
Unlike
those
whom
Christ
sent
i'
th'
Ministry
,
Without
a
Scrip
,
to
sound
the
Gospel
free
:
●…d
therefore
when
her
Cash
was
empty'd
,
she
,
●…v'd
Money
for
to
serve
the
Ministry
.
Hence
prating
Preachers
turn'd
the
Silver
Bait
,
●…ught
not
a
few
o'
th'
Church
with
zeal
to
wait
.
As
favour
was
obtain'd
by
Parasites
,
They
labour'd
hard
to
ga●…n
more
Pro●…elites
.
Thus
,
like
a
troubl'd
Sea
,
thou
'
castest
up
The
Mire
and
Dirt
that
's
in
thy
filthy
Cup
:
Then
,
in
a
paltry
kind
of
Bal●…d
Tone
,
Like
scoffing
Ishma●…l
,
thou
thus
go'st
on
;
At
length
her
Papers
,
like
to
Briefs
,
did
e●…y
.
For
Money
,
Money
for
the
Ministry
.
A●…d
in
th●…
fifth
page
,
having
given
a
yerk
A●…
R●…chardson
,
for
being
an
hired
Clerk
,
Thou
sayst
,
It
s
true
,
that
some
do
frequent
say
,
Both
Cl●…ks
and
Priests
from
th'
Flock
obtain
their
pay
.
Thy
envious
term
of
Priests
,
as
't
is
apply'd
To
Friends
,
is
by
the
Truth
in
Friends
deny'd
.
Th'
Apostle
Peter
call'd
the
Saints
of
old
A
Royal
Priesthood
:
We
no
other
hold
.
But
that
Christ's
Ministers
should
be
supply'd
With
necessaries
,
by
the
Church
(
his
Bride
)
Is
such
a
known
and
certain
Truth
,
as
none
,
Perhaps
,
hath
e'er
oppos'd
,
but
thou
alone
.
Read
but
the
Scriptures
in
the
Margin
set
,
And
thou
'lt
be
forc'd
to
grant
(
though
with
Regret
)
That
't
is
the
Churches
duty
,
to
supply
Th●…
needful
wants
of
all
her
Ministry
.
I
know
,
these
Texts
which
I
have
here
inserted
,
Have
oft
been
misapply'd
,
and
much
perverted
B●…
Parish-Preachers
,
who
these
Scriptures
strain
,
To
draw
unto
themselves
dishonest
Gain
.
But
what
of
that
?
Truth
must
not
be
refus'd
,
Because
it
is
by
Evil
men
abus'd
:
And
truth
it
is
,
too
plain
to
be
deny'd
,
Christ's
Church
should
for
Christ's
Ministers
provide
.
What
carp'st
thou
at
then
,
William
?
Would
thy
Muse
Plead
that
St.
Paul
did
not
his
Priv'ledge
use
?
I
grant
he
did
not
,
in
some
special
cases
,
And
that
too
only
in
some
factious
places
:
And
I
,
perhaps
,
if
need
requir'd
,
could
name
Some
scor●…s
of
Friends
too
,
that
have
done
the
same
,
That
at
their
own
charge
have
a
Warfare
gone
,
And
crost
the
Seas
,
being
chargeable
to
none
.
But
what
of
that
?
Th'
Apostle
Paul
we
find
His
Right
assert●…d
,
though
he
had
no
mind
To
tak●…
it
there
:
And
else-where
doth
declare
,
That
other
Churches
did
of
him
take
care
;
That
what
was
lacking
to
him
,
privately
The
Macedonian
Brethren
did
supply
.
Thus
it
appears
,
th'
Apostle
did
partake
Of
that
Provision
,
which
the
Church
did
make
.
And
what
,
but
Envy
,
hath
bewitcht
thy
Mind
,
With
what
was
then
approv'd
,
now
fault
to
find
!
Pretend
thou
canst
not
,
that
the
stock
is
given
To
such
as
have
no
need
thereof
;
for
even
Thy self
here
sayst
,
The
Church
supply'd
the
need
Of
those
that
wanted
Monies
to
proceed
To
go
beyond
Seas
.
What
a
groundless
Cavil
Is
this
of
thine
!
How
should
such
Preachers
travel
Beyond
the
Seas
,
whom
Christ
thereto
doth
move
,
And
whom
the
Church
,
as
faithful
,
doth
approve
,
If
neither
have
they
Monies
to
proceed
,
Nor
Church
may
,
with
her
Stock
,
supply
their
need
?
May
none
beyond
Seas
go
,
but
who
can
spare
Sufficient
of
their
own
,
the
charge
to
bear
?
Must
Christ
be
so
confin'd
,
he
may
not
send
Any
,
but
such
as
have
Estates
to
spend
?
God
bless
us
from
such
Doctrine
,
and
such
Teachers
,
As
will
admit
of
none
but
wealthy
Preachers
.
Peter
,
we
read
,
nor
Silver
had
,
nor
Gold
,
(
So
he
the
Cripple
,
at
the
Temple
,
told
)
Yet
after
that
he
travell'd
far
and
near
,
By
Sea
and
Land
,
pray
,
who
the
Charge
did
bear
,
Unless
the
Church
?
And
is
that
now
a
Crime
,
Which
was
a
Virtue
in
the
purest
time
?
No
sure
:
Though
Dissolute
Apostates
slight
Her
care
,
the
Church
then
did
,
and
now
doth
right
Christ's
Messengers
to
furnish
,
and
their
need
Supply
,
when
they
want
Monies
to
proceed
In
this
Work.
As
for
what
thou
add'st
,
to
wit
,
[
If
they
their
Motion
freely
did
submit
To
●…h
'
London
Church
,
and
do
as
she
thought
fit
:

I
count
it
a
malicious
Slander
,
and
Of
thee
an
Evidence
thereof
deand
.
●…duce
one
I●…iance
,
if
thou

One

Name
one
(
or
else
thou
may'st
be
thought
a
Lyar
)
Of
whom
the
Church
in
London
did
require
,
That
he
his
Motion
freely
should
submit
To
her
,
and
do
therein
as
she
thought
fit
.
I
know
,
't
is
usual
with
thee
to
suggest
The
false
Surmizes
of
thy
envious
Breast
,
Void
of
all
Proof
,
and
many
a
Calumny
,
By
thee
flung
at
us
,
yet
unprov'd
doth
ly
.
I
know
,
the
Friends
of
London
,
to
whose
Care
And
Trust
,
those
Services
committed
are
,
Are
faithful
men
,
and
tender
of
the
good
,
By
whom
true
Motions
will
not
be
withstood
.
They
'r
such
as
would
not
break
a
bruised
Reed
,
Nor
quench
the
smoaking
Flax.
Yet
they
had
need
Be
satisfi'd
,
how
they
dispense
that
Stock
,
Which
is
the
Free-Will
Offering
of
the
Flock
,
Not
limitted
to
any
single
use
,
(
As
thou
insinuatest
in
Abuse
)
But
is
impl●…d
in
a
more
gen'ral
way
,
The
Churches
common
Charges
to
defray
.
And
,
William
,
ask
thy
Friends
,
T.
C.
E.
M.
If
the
Accompts
were
not
perus'd
by
them
Within
these
a
few
years
,
and
each
set
his
Name
Thereto
,
to
shew
he
did
approve
the
same
.
Thou
sayst
,
Her
Papers
,
like
to
Briefs
did
cry
For
Money
,
Money
for
the
Ministry
:
But
thou
sayst
falsly
;
I
thy
words
deny
:
Prove
them
,
or
Falshood
at
thy
door
shall
ly
.
Thy
naming
Briefs
,
on
this
occasion
,
shows
Thy
Cavil
from
a
Scoffing
Spirit
flows
.
Paul
to
the
Church
did
his
Epistles
send
,
In
which
he
to
their
care
did
recommend
Collections
for
the
Saints
.
Why
dost
not
flout
At
those
Epistles
too
?
Why
cry'st
not
out
Against
the
Papers
of
th'
Apostle
Paul
,
That
They
,
like
Briefs
,
for
Money
,
Money
,
call
?
Thy
Cavil
doth
as
mach
against
him
ly
,
Is
against
us
:
and
't
was
thy
subtilty
,
Not
openly
of
Paul
to
shew
dislike
,
But
rather
through
our
sides
at
him
to
strike
.
Thy
Work
is
seen
;
thy
Undertaking's
vile
;
Thy
Spirit
scornful
;
frothy
is
thy
Stile
.
But
,
William
,
art
thou
sure
,
thou
never
yet
To
what
thou
termest
Briefs
,
thy
Name
hast
set
?
Take
heed
,
lest
while
thou
Stones
dost
upward
throw
,
They
fall
not
back
,
and
give
thy self
a
blow
.
Thy
flurt
at
Richardson
,
for
taking
pay
for
what
,
as
Clark
,
he
writes
,
doth
much
bewray
Thy
Folly
and
Injustice
:
Is
't
not
fit
,
Who
works
for
others
,
should
be
paid
for
it
,
And
that
by
them
,
who
him
,
to
work
,
desire
?
The
Labourer
is
worthy
of
his
Hire
.
Have
you
no
things
,
call'd
Clerks
?
From
whom
,
I
pray
,
Do
your
Apostate-Clerks
obtain
their
pay
,
Save
from
the
Herd
to
which
they
do
belong
?
And
is
Reward
due
only
to
the
Wrong
!
Come
,
William
,
come
;
one
Heav'n
,
instructed
Scribe
Will
weigh
down
all
your
Pharisaical
Tribe
.
Thou
mention'st
Impositions
,
Humane
Laws
,
●…ms
,
Yokes
,
Decrees
,
Pales
,
any
thing
to
cause
Strange
Apprehensions
,
Fears
and
Jealousies
,
(
Whence
Discontent
and
Prejudice
might
rise
)
In
some
professing
Truth
,
who
have
not
taken
Root
deep
enough
therein
,
not
to
be
shaken
:
And
that
thou
also
mightst
the
Church
expose
To
the
Contempt
and
Fury
of
her
Foes
.
But
(
blest
be
God
)
though
thy
mischeivous
Heart
Be
desperately
Wicked
,
yet
thy
Art
Hath
fail'd
thee
:
for
thou
art
so
full
of
Fiction
Confusion
,
Envy
,
and
Self-Contradiction
,
That
he
must
be
already
more
than
blind
,
Who
to
believe
thee
can
perswade
his
Mind
.
One
while
thou
sayst
,
(
but
in
deriding-wise
)
The
Churches
Laws
,
are
,
to
her
Members
,
Eyes
.
This
is
a
plain
Acknowledgment
,
that
she
Would
have
her
Members
with
their
own
Eyes
see
.
Yet
,
ten
Lines
further
off
,
thou
sayst
,
she
cryes
,
Dark
Spirits
,
he
that
sees
not
with
our
Eyes
.
This
needs
no
Comment
:
'T
is
so
plain
,
that
he
Is
blind
,
that
don't
the
Contradiction
see
.
But
,
William
,
here
's
not
only
Contradiction
,
But
a
foul
Slander
too
;
a
Lying
Fiction
.
Thou
,
speaking
of
the
Church
,
here
say'st
,
She
cryes
Dark
Spirits
,
he
that
sees
not
with
our
Eyes
.
This
is
a
down-right
Falshood
,
I
declare
;
Make
Proof
on
't
,
if
thou
canst
,
and
do
not
spare
:
Acquit
thy self
thereof
,
or
it
shall
ly
Upon
thee
,
as
a
Badge
of
Infamy
.
'T
is
by
such
base
dishonest
tricks
as
these
,
Thou
thy
misguided
Party
,
seek'st
to
please
,
And
captivated
hold
:
But
Truth
thee
strips
,
And
thy
deceitful
workings
open
rips
.
Fox
is
term'd
Head
,
thou
say'st
.
I
ask
,
By
whom
?
Such
terms
ne'er
from
the
Church
of
Christ
did
come
.
This
is
another
Slander
:
One
would
think
Thy
Heart
were
full
of
Falshoods
to
the
Brink
,
And
these
run
over
.
What
a
horrid
Sin
Is
this
of
Lying
,
when
it
s
once
let
in
!
And
thou
hast
let
it
in
so
deep
,
that
now
Thou
tumblest
out
thy
Lyes
,
thou
car'st
not
how
.
Thou
sayst
,
External
Forms
by
Fox
decreed
,
Are
set
as
Marks
to
know
the
Chaff
from
th'Seed
.
This
is
another
Whisker
,
like
the
rest
,
Hatcht
by
the
Lying
Spirit
in
thy
Breast
,
●…rought
forth
by
cancred
Envy
,
with
design
To
shake
the
weak
,
and
cause
them
to
decline
The
way
of
Truth
.
Thus
doth
the
Serpent
lay
,
His
baited
Hooks
,
the
simple
to
betray
,
●…ut
by
the
Truth
,
his
Wi●…es

are
,
That

thy
last

words
I
do
detect

most
notorious
Falshoods
,
and
expect
Thy
Proof
;
for
what
thou
chargest
,
I
deny

turn't
back
on
thee
as
a
double
Ly.
One
,
That
External

This
is
a
shameless
Lye
indeed

Bring
that
Decree
forth

that
it
may
be
seen

〈◊〉
ever

That
ev'ry

William

thou
,
at
this

,
May'st
all
the
Scolds
out
scold
at
Billings-Gate

As
to
thy
Cavil
,
that
what
was
prepar'd
By
one
,
was
past
against
thy
Iohn
unheard
;
Thy
STORY
's
false
:
He
had
been
fully
heard
,
And
faulty
found
,
as
at
Drawell
appear'd
.
But
this

Cavil
has
before
been
brought

And
Answer'd
fully

Antidote
,
To
which
I
now
refer
thee
,
not

On
the

ANVIL
to
be
always-smiting
.
Thy
Curtailling
the
Number
of
the
Beast
,
To
make
thy
g●…ddy
Folk
a
j●…lly
Feast
,
Is
such
a
Beastly
Prank
,
as
n●…'er
was
play'd
By
any
,
that
of
Truth
Profession
made
.
What
?
To
prophane
the
Text
with
frothy
wit

And
sport
at
what
the
Holy
Ghost

writ

He
that

dare
invent
such

May
shrink
the
Number

But
William
,
nothing
can
more
plainly
show
How
scard
that
Conscience
is
,
from
which
did
flow
Thy
scoff
,
than
that
thou
therewith
dost
belye
The
Chief
of
Christian
Vertues
,
Charity
.
Thy
Clamour
against
Excommunication
,
Shēws
what
thou
wouldst
be
at
▪
A
Toleration
For
Unclean
Spirits
in
the
Church
to
l●…rk
,
And
uncontroul'd
to
carry
on
their
work
Against
the
Truth
;
that
so
they
might
effect
?
The
Mischief
the●…
design
,
and
not
be
checkt
.
That
such
as
in
their
practice
do
Oppose
The
principles
of
Truth
,
as
do
all
those
That
pay
the
Priest
for
preaching
(
though
they
may
It
do
,
in
never
such
a
covert
way
)
That
these
,
and
other
such
(
who
are
no
less
Unfaithful
to
the
Truth
which
they
profess
)
Might
notwithstanding
from
Reproof
be
free
,
Upon
pretence
they
don't
the
Evil
●…ee
.
That
such
as
will
,
when
Persecution
shall
Arise
,
may
let
Truth
's
Testimony
fall
;
Forsake
their
Meeting
Places
,
Skulk
and
hide
,
And
closely
into
Obscure
Places
glide
;
Meet
now
and
then
,
by
stealth
,
in
pit
,
or
Gill
,
And
set
a
Lad
to
watch
upon
an
Hill
,
Or
Hireling
like
,
into
a
Cock
loft
creep
,
Themselves
to
save
,
what
e're
befals

Sheep
.
And
though
by
such
Unfaithfulness
they
break
The
strength
of
Others
,
and
make

Weak
▪
Though
they
Examples
so
pernicious
show
,
Yet
should
f●…r
Friends
,

Preachers
,
blameless
go
That
such
as
hav●…
in
Truth
's
Profession
stood
,
May
now
,
as
●…me
such
did
before
the
Flood
,
In
Marriages
with
Unbelievers
link
,
And
yet
expect
,
the
Church
,
at
least
,
should
wink
.
That
Zimri
might
his
Cozbi
(
without
fear
Of
being
peirced
by
a
Phineas-Spear
,
)
From
Mid●…an
fetch
;
And
with
her
(
as
befell
Of
old
)
the
Plague
bring
upon
Israel
.
That
by
such
Mixtures
,
They
the
Holy
seed
Might
Stain
,
and
introduce
a
Mungrel
Breed
,
Which
half
the
Language
should
of
Ashdod
speak
;
And
make
God's
Warth
against
his
People
reak
.
That
such
as
list
might
in
their
Discontent
,
The
seamless
Garment
of
our
Saviour
rent
:
Make
Breaches
in
the
Church
,
D●…ssention
sow
,
And
cause
Divisions
amongst
Friends
to
grow
;
And
that
they
might
,
although
they
Guilty
be
Of
All
these
Crimes
,
from
all
Reproof
be
free
;
Nor
only
so
:
but
to
be
own'd
expect
Ev'n
by
that
Church
,
whose
Power
they
reject
.
This
pleases
wondrous
well
the
Libertine
;
The
loose
Licentiats
think
it
very
fine
.
And
to
be
loose
and
yet
retain
their
Station
,
They
baul
amain
at
Excommunication
.
But
(
blest
be
God
)
our
Saviour
hath
not
left
His
Church
so
void
of
power
,
nor
her
bereft
Thereof
to
be
will
suffer
;
but
that
shee
Hath
in
her self
full
pow'r
her self
to
free
From
such
Pretenders
,
who
unto
her
cling
,
Only
that
they
may
Scandall
on
her
bring
,
Our
Saviour
his
Disciples
hath
directed
,
That
such
,
as
private
Warnings
had
neglected
,
Should
to
the
Churches
Censure
be
refer'd
,
(
Which
plainly
shews
,
The
Church
is
to
be
heard
)
And
●…whoso
Her
neglects
to
hear
,
saith
He
,
Let
him
be
as
an
Heathen
Man
to
th●…e
.
And
that
the
Church
did
such
Cut
off
declare
From
her
Communion
,
as
unruly
were
,
In
the
Apostles
days
,
the
Texts
here
set
Sufficient
are
a
Credence
to
beget
.
This
is
a
Principle
that
hath
a
place
Even
in
Nature
too
as
well
as
Grace
.
In
living
Bodies
how
doth
Nature
strive
The
foul
and
penant
Humours
out
to
drive
?
And
reason
good
:
for
why
should
that
remain
Which
would
corrupt
the
Health
,
or
Beauty
stain
?
All
Liquors
that
have
life
,
by
defectation
,
●…urge
out
their
Dregs
,
and
make
a
separation
.
And
shall
Christs
Church
alone
less
power
have
,
Than
unto
natural
Bodies
Nature
gave
,
That
she
must
to
Communion
those
receive
,
Who
her
of
Life
and
Honour
would
bereave
,
No
,
no
our
Saviour
hath
his
Church
indu'd
With
pow'r
,
from
her
Communion
to
exclude
●…ruly
spirits
,
Evil
Workers
,
Those
That
Christian
Order
in
Christs
Church
oppose
.
That
which
to
other
Churches
is
a
stain
,
〈◊〉
that
they
don
't
within
due
Bounds
contain
Themselves
;
but
outward
paenalties
impose
,
●…n
Body
,
or
Estate
,
or
both
on
those
They
Excommunicate
:
which
doth
not
stand
With
Christian
Practice
,
or
with
Christ's
Command
.
But
William
,
no
such
things
can
charged
be
On
Friends
;
Nay
,
that
they
from
such
things
are
free
,
Thy Self
hast
own'd
,
than
whom
where's
any
more
sparing
,
To
own
a
Truth
,
or
to
Asperse
more
daring
?
That
which
of
Persecuting
thou
dost
tell
us
,
〈◊〉
but
what
Hymeneus
,
or
Phygellus
,
Dimas
,
Her●…ogenes
,
Philetus
,
with
●…rim
Alexander
to●…
,
the
Copper-Smith
,

have
Objected
to
th'
Apostle
Paul
,
●…ad
they
as
Envious
been
,
and
apt
to
braul
.
●…or
Two
of
these
th'
Apostle
doth
declare
,
●…or
their
bold
●…lasphemies
,
deliver'd
were
●…y
him
to
Satan
:
And
of
all
the
rest
,
●…ome
Evil
Note
,
or
other
,
is
exprest
.
These
thought
,
no
doubt
,
St
Paul
was
much
to
blame
,
For
casting
such
a
Blemish
on
their
name
.
'T
is
like
,
They
took
it
for
a
Defamation
;
As
thou
,
a
Wounding
of
their
Reputation
:
And
might
against
St
Paul
have
learnt
to
prate
,
Had
they
but
had
thee
for
their
Advocate
.
But
,
William
,
One
short
Answer
may
Suffice
,
To
stop
the
Clamour
of
thy
causless
Cries
All
they
that
into
such
disorders
run
,
As
cause
the
Church
their
Fellowship
to
shun
,
And
to
the
World
ev'n-force
Her
to
declare
,
That
they
in
her
Communion
have
no
share
:
These
on
themselves
do
that
Discredit
bring
,
Which
thou
so
fain
upon
the
Church
would'st
fling
.
'T
is
They
themselves
their
Reputation
wound
:
The
Church
is
only
in
Her
duty
found
.
But
O
the
Impudence
?
that
Friends
should
be
▪
With
Persecution
tax't
,
and
that
by
thee
,
By
thee
,
who
with
some
others
did
combine
At
Bristol
,
and
a
kind
of
Warrant
sign
,
By
which
you
took
upon
your selves
,
O
base
!
To
Order
him
that
kept
the
Meeting
Place
,
That
Friends
he
should
not
there
to
Meet
permit
,
Because
(
forsooth
!
)
to
you
it
seem'd
not
fit
.
By
Thee
,
I
say
,
who
but
a
while
agoo
,
Didst
keep
Friends
out
at
Olston-Meeting
too
;
And
didst
to
such
their
Meeting-House
deny
,
As
had
therein
a
rightfull
Property
▪
By
thee
,
whose
Party
to
your
foul
disgraces
Hath
done

like
in

all

Arbitrary
Tricks

The

which

Thy

where
thou
carp'st
at
what

,
We
can
for
Truth
's
sake

in
Reprocah
delight

The
Lord
rebuilding
is
his
Holy
City
,
Which
thou
and
Others
envy
(
more
's
the
pity
)
And
put
forth
all
the
strength
and
Art
you
have
,
The
work
to
stop
,
the
Workmen
to
deprave
.
But
never
be
so
vain
,
to
think
you
can
The
work
obstruct
:
't
is
not
the
work
of

The
God
of

,
he
will
prosper
us

And
therefore
we
his
Servants

(
strengthned
thus

Will
rise

build
,
as
God
shall
us
indue
With
courage
,
Strength
and
Counsel
for
't
:
But
you
No
Portion
have
,
who
do
the
work
condemn

Right
,
Nor
Memorial

My

That
tend'ring
Pow'r

can
melt

And
have
been
in

tend'red

it

But
now
so

All

To

to

God's
People

the
Fury

And
all

Although
