Scripture 1 Pet. 4.11 Thirdly For that he said I would not forsake the company of Seducers and Hereticks I answered that way thou calls Heresie worship I the Eternall God and this is according to plain Scripture Acts 24.14 And it saith Keep company with them that calls upon God out of a pure heart 2 Tim. 2.22 And I know they are the people therefore thou denies the Scripture and I obey it for I witnesse that Scripture to be fulfilled Isay 24.5 they have transgressed the lawes changed the ordinances and broken the everlasting Covenant I being gone from home about my outward occasions the Priest excommunicated me knowing that I was not there to answer him and he charged all people to have no dealing in the outward with me when I came home the people stood at a distance from me so I went to him that I might have the first dealing with himself and paid him some money that my husband owned him and he received it from my hand then I askt him the cause why he bid the people have no dealings with me yet he himself was the first but all his answer was saying to his man put her to the dore then I asked what evill I had done or wherein I had offended so I being speaking to the people shewing them how he was out of the moderation and out of the bonds of Christian practtice as I did speak he cryed the more put her to the door although I had paid for apart of the house building and so had an interest in it then I told him he was out of the practice of the ministers of Christ and also out of all moderation After that he caused a man to make repentance in his Congregation for selling me two pecks of Lint Seeds And soone after the Priest himself came to me to borrow a book which I lent him then I asked him why he made the man make repentance for that which he himself did practice he replyed it was for eating and drinking with me for he said The Scripture forbids to eat and drink with an excommunicated person but I said the Scripture saith The Drunkard the Fornicator the Extortioner the Covetous and the Idolater with such a one eat not I asked him if I was such a one he said I neither can nor will say so of you but I could be content you should live beside me all dayes of my life without excommunicating you if the Presbytery would suffer me and so is judged out of his own mouth to act contrary to his Conscience and to be a man-pleaser Afterwards he preached lies to the people saying That the Quakers received money from the Pope of Rome and said that was the cause that so many went from their Church then I and several Friends went to taxe him for his lye but he hid himself so that he would not come to us so is found a worker of darkness out of the Light of Christ The Causes laid down by the Priests why they excommunicated Friends THe Cause why they excommunicated William Osburne is this Because he declared the Ministers of Scotland Enemies to Christs Kingdome and Gospel which are blood-thirsty men and bore his Testimony against one of them which by violence the Priests were placing in his Land whose name is William Sterling they put him violently out of his own ground and for these reasons excommunicated him Lewis Simerel Priest of New Monkeland for these Reasons viz. Because Margaret Hambleton denied the power of their Presbiter Secondly Because she would not forsake the company of the people of God whom they call Quakers Seducers and Hereticks and also for denying their Ordinances which are by their own wills therefore they excommunicated her James Nesmith Priest of Hambleton excommunicated John Huchison and would give him no reasons for what he did it neither is there any known except it be for owning the people of God called Quakers John Hume Priest of Lesmahagow and William Simerel Priest of Petenace with the rest of the Presbytery at Lannerick did excommunicate George Weare because he harboured the Quakers and for the denying the power of their Presbytery and after they had excommunicated him Robert Semple Priest of that Parish viz. Lesmahagow sent Andrew Clealand Constable to tell George Wear if he would give satisfaction to the Kirk they would receive him in again upon easie terms c. George Wear said because they could not shew him the way to God which his soul breathed after who had been long enough under them he could not own them and when the Constable told the Priest what he had said the Priest said If it be so with him yet I protest to God we will make him Winter and Summer without William Mitchel John Mitchel Robert Tod Mary English Elizabeth Lappey Marian Mitchel did Peter Kid Priest of Douglass with the rest of the Presbytery of Lannerick did excommunicate them for these reasons as followeth 1. Priest You teach that every man and woman gets sufficient light from Christ Ans Which is according to Johns Doctrine Joh. 1.9 who saith Christ hath lightned every one that cometh into the world which light is sufficient to as many as beleeve in it 2. Pr You cry down Ministers and say there is no need of preaching Ans Not of envious murderers blood-thirsters covetous hirelings 3 Pr. You destroy the Communion of the body and blood of the Lord signified and represented by Bread and Wine Ans We which have the substance have the end of the shadow and the communion is the end of the shadow and of that which is for memory and shewes which is not the body in which body is the unity Pr. 4. You say that the children of God have no sin in this life and teach so Ans The Scripture says he that is born of God doth not fin and is he not a child of God Pr. 5. You say and teach that the light that Christ gives to every one is perfect and so bids them follow the light that is within them Ans Which is according to Christs Doctrine Joh. the 1. and John the 3. and 2 Cor. 4. 6. Pr. You deny Matthew Mark Luke and John to be the Gospel Ans The Scripture says the Gospel is the power of God Rom. 1. 7. Pr. You deny Baptisme in the Church to be a seal of his Covenant and cry down that Ans Because there is no Scripture for sprinkling of Infants but Baptisme we own 8. Pr. You deny the Lords Day and would have it taken out of the world though it be set apart in Scripture for the Divine Worship Ans All days are owned to be the Lords who is worshipped in Spirit which we own 9. Pr. You go abroad and trouble people in in the worship of God Ans We do not trouble them that worship God in Spirit but will-worshippers who are in their persecuting fained humility Also Thomas Jack Gabriel Hood James Cook Jannet Hambleton Gawine Scevenson

from City to City and hale out of the Synagouges John 16.2 that all the unrighteous blood shed from righteous Abel might come upon you Mat. 23.35 and you are they that kill the bodies of the Saints and are sheders of the righteous blood Mark the righteous blood that the righteous blood might be upon you And Cain slew Abel because Abels sacrifice was accepted and his not Gen. 4. So it is about the Sacrifice and worship ye would murther and slay So ye are in Cains way a company of vagabonds whose Sacrifice God hath no respect unto if we were enemies you would not teach the people to stone us if ye were Ministers of Christ but love us Mat. 5.44 And do good to us If the Apostles should have taught the people to stone all that were contrary to their minde and Christ should have taught his Disciples to stone all that were contrary to their minde and tell them that were Christian zeale but ye may see Christ and his Apostles taught another doctrine Love your Enemies and thou teachest to stone them contrary to Christ and his Apostles we do conclude it to be the Doctrine of the Devil and not the Doctrine of Christ who are in scorne called Quakers For the true Christian zeal never taught to stone but were stoned The Priests called Presbyterians summoned some people called Quakers to come before them and they came into the Steeple house where they met and James Nasmith Priest of Hanbleton bad them remove or else he would make them remove by Club Law and they asked the presbyterian Priests for their accusers and Francis Ard one of the Priests said they were both accusers and Judges now whether this be equity that the same should be both accusers and Judges that summons and when they have summoned accused and judged saith they will make them remove by club Law whether these be not bruits and beasts and not Justices and are not fit to Judge nor to have the name of Ministers and Judges that will remove people by club Law and the said Quakers could not own them as Judges nor doth look on them as men of equity but would have had them to have given them a meeting in any place whereby the truth might be cleared which they had scandalized and come to light which they refused and that lawful witnesses might hear but they did refuse and caused them to be put in prison by the hand of a Baliffe by name Nasmith And this is the authority of the Presbyterian Priests who hath summoned with club Law but it is denyed by the Apostles Doctrine 1 Tim. 3. they must not be strikers nor false accusers These are the Presbyterian Priests of Scotlands weapons club Law which is contrary to the Ministers of Christ they said We wrestle not against flesh and blood and they must not be strikers Eph. 6.12 and after they had done violently they thrust them into prison after their wills were satisfied with violence they thrust them out again there ye may feel the Spirit of wickedness And these Presbyterian Priests are people petitions the Magistrates with a pretence they might not be guilty of others blood which pretence is in their Petitions to take away their fear that their wicked peace might not be disturbed not regarding their blood witnesse James Nasmith Priest who would make them remove by club Law So their Petition is but flattery and deceit in pretence of not being guilty of their blood in whose heart it is to shed blood as witness Henry Foreside Priest who stirred up the people in zeal to stone them Those Presbyterian Priests that set up club Law and persecution against the Quakers who would not have any to receive them into their houses So this is abominable Doctrine contrary to the Apostle whose Doctrine you have troden under your feet who said Be not forgetful to entertain Strangers for thereby some have entertained Angels unawares Heb. 13.2 And they say again They have no certain dwelling places Here these Presbyterians with their club Law and Excommunications which say the Quakers have no certain dwelling places they may inform against the Apostles which had no ceartain dwelling places and against Christ who had not whereon to lay his head Luk 9.58 and against Abraham who had not a foot of ground Gen. 12. but Cain built a City the vagabond of whose stock and off-spring you are Gen. 4.17 and said David Let their Children be vagabonds Psal 109.10 and so this is fulfilled upon you And you Presbyterian Priests with your club Law who would club those people scornfully called Quakers away you would have an Order from the Justices that none should receive the Quakers into there houses and stop them of their liberty and this is contrary to the Law of the Nations And this is damnable doctrine wherewith ye poison the people and stirs them up with madness and folly And in stead of teaching of them peace you teach them strife and in stead of loving one another you teach them to fight one with another And Henry Foreside Priest cryes stone them And James Nasmith Priest cryes for club Law And William Hambleton Priest of Glasford said to Andrew Brown if the Lawes were right they would chop off all the Quakers heads by William Hambletons words the Law is wrong because it doth not fulfill his purpose and envy Here all may see that you are doing the Devils work hunting after blood whose envy madness and folly appeares to all men what ye cannot do your selves ye exhort the people to do and what ye and the people cannot do ye Petition the Magistrates to do that all the righteous blood may come upon you Mat. 23.35 Alas for you ye poor filly Priests and mad Presbiterians Is this your work to set them to stone and cry up club Law and Law to chop off their heads is this the way to convert them is not this the Popish way of converting them ye should go to convert them instruct them convince them love them heap coals of fire upon them Mat. 5. Rom. 20. Overcome evil with good Rom. 12.21 Pray for them Mat. 5.44 No cry you chop off their heads begging by petitions that none may receive them into their houses stone them fall upon them by club law that your folly and madness may be made manifest and yet imprison them and such as receive them into their houses As for instance ye caused John Hart of the heads of Glasford and Jennet Hambleton widdow of Westmanes to be imprisoned for entertaining them into their houses Here ye have proved your selves to be the Wolves the sheep are sent among Mat. 10.16 that are ravening to devoure them which is one of the markes that ye are the false Prophets Christ said should come Mat. 7.5 And another haling out of the Synagogues and Excommunicating and ye never shew for what which practice ye are in which is a work of darknesse and upon this bargaine that the

you of them John 16.4 so the sayings of Christ are fulfilled by you that Excommunicate and put out of the Synagogues of the Jewes ye are like and these are their markes that they neitheir know the Father nor the Son of God These Temples Pulpits Priests that are set up since the dayes of the Apostles are amongst the false Prophets that Christ said should come Mat. 7. Mat. 24. and John saw was come 1 John 2.18.19 and 1 John 4.1 2 3. which went forth from them which all the world went after Rev. 13.3 And these Excommunications from you are that none should buy nor sell but such as worship the Beast and receive his Marks Rev. 13.14 And it was the Beast that would kill and destroy and the Dragon and the False Prophets them that kept the testimony of Jesus Rev. 12. here is the patience and faith of the Saints that by the blood of the Lamb that overcomes that have the testimony of Jesus and kept the commands of God so the Jewes excommunications which had the true Temple true Tithes and true Priests which had the Figure the Type Christ being come the substance Heb. 10.34 the everlasting Priest-hood Heb. 7. the everlasting Covenant and the one offering Heb. 10. so them that went from the priesthood went to Christ The Jewes did excommunicate them out of the Synagogues now they did not know the Son nor the Father that did excommunicate John 16. though they had the figures and Types of the Son of God They held up their outward things and saw not the Son of God the substance when he was come so these knew not the Son of God nor the Father that excommunicated and put out of the Synagogues which Christ bad them that was to be put out of the Synagogues not be offended at those things he told them before they came to passe That when these things come to passe ye may remember that I told you Now those are they that Christ said should come and the Apostles saw was come that went forth from them which hath got up Tythes and Temples and Pulpits and Priests and the Priests are excommunicating out of their Synagogues and these must neither buy nor sell with them nor eat nor drink nor have nothing to do with them except they will worship the beast or his image and fall down to him and this is the worship of the Beast got up since the Apostles who apostatized from the true Church and went forth from them which all the world wondred after and worshipped and received his mark and his image They that buy and sell and will let others do so with them that are of them that make war against them that keep the testimony of Jesus and the commands of God and against the Saints and the Lamb but the Lamb and the Saints shall have the victory But the Lamb of God the seed of God is risen the beast and the false Prophet is taken which hath long deceived the Nations Revelations 2. The old Dragon the Serpent the murderer the deceiver the devourer the Mother of Harlots Babylon which hath made all Nations drunk with her fornications which hath corrupted the earth Rev. 14. which the beasts and the false Prophets that deceives the Nations and the Antichrist the false Prophets say they are come but now These are deceivers of the Nations that say they come but now for Christ said they should come and John said they were come before his decease whereby he said he knew it was the last time and in the Revelations he said all the world went after them and all Nations have drunk of the wine of her fornications and the Kings of the earth have committed fornications with her Rev. 17.2 mark the word have and the false Prophets say they come but now and now is the last time And these are the deceivers of the Nations that say so Now are people but coming from them and now is the judgement of the great whore come and now is vials of wrath to be powred upon her that hath corrupted the earth and now shall they go into captivity Rev. 13. Rev. 1.4 and 18. And now shall people come to that which the false Prophets the beast and the Mother of Harlots went from all these heads and horns and Crowns will turn against others with their tongues Languages and Babylon that hath been amongst them and now is the seed of God risen which overthrowes all the excommunicators upon the earth both beast and false Prophets and Jewes both which seed of God brings to see to the beginning Glory to the highest for ever and Jewes and Gentiles beasts and false Prophets and is at the top of them all and the corner stone is laid John Castairs and James Durram Priest of Glasgow when the Fast was appointed by the English they kept their Houses and caused their servants to work and took notice of all those that countenanced the English Fast and the first day they preached then after they said it was necessary that a day of Humiliation should be and that all people should be humbled for the powers they saw now ruling in the land for they were giving liberty and tolleration to all sects and blasphemies as Anabaptists Independants and said that the Baptists denyed all worship and Ordinances as they were and ought to be according to the Ecclesiastical Government which Government is the true hedge of the Church of Christ Lodowick Simerell Priest of Munkland he said before several persons that no true Justice had been or was since those enemies came to this Nation neither would be until the Lord remove them in his own time Henry Foreside Priest of Lenyey and if Paul had been alive he would have stoned the Quakers and it was Christian zeal to stone them and many friends were stoned and beat and blood is shed those that stoned the Apostles and Saints and haled them before judgment seats and Magistrates and the chief Priests had a hand in putting Christ to death perswaded them so to do and the cheif Priests had a hand in stoning of Steven to death and the Priest had a hand in casting Jeremy into the dungeon and into the stocks and said he was worthy of death and the high Priest Ananias examined Paul and Peter and John was examined by the Priest was put out of the Temple by the Priests and Rulers and charged no more to speak in that name and such were these who had a form of godlinesse but denyed the power and such ever stirred up the people to blood and tumults against the harmless and innocent in the truth Therefore come to the light you that have tasted of the power of the Lord God that with it you may see and judge how the Priests blinded the Magistrates by flattery and so truth came to be their enemies How do you receive strangers ye Presbyterians of Scotland and obey the commands of God and the Apostles commands which was
