A69802	The Lancashire Levite rebuk'd, or, A farther vindication of the dissenters from popery, superstition, ignorance and knavery unjustly charged on them by Mr. Zachary Taylor in his two books about the Surey demoniak in a letter to himself.	Carrington, John, d. 1701.	1698 (1698)	Wing C642A; ESTC R173402	30,143	34

know not where to find you or what you intend Let the Canon 72 be consulted and I find not either 1. That they made a Canon to condemn Obsession Word or Thing no more than Possession nor do they say it 's a Popish Word 2. Nor do they condemn Fasting and Prayer upon such Occasion but with the B.'s Licence they may Fast and Pray as some did in Norwich if I remember the Place with a Boy that was supposed to be Obsessed or Possessed Here was Prayer upon a Supposition For how could they be sure with the Licence of the then B. of Chester And now take heed of Belying your Mother And I wish not for any Virtue in a B.'s Licence for Caution Dissenters had acquainted the B. or some others of the Ch. of Engl. and advised with more Learned Physicians about this Case Pag. 10. You charge me unjustly Mr. T. in saying I would make the World believe that you were intimate to W. C.'s Intrigue And tho' you never saw the Man you might hear of his Hypocritical Carriage at Kirkham where I suppose you have some Relations And the things were not done in Secret but generally known and spoken of And I had heard you were informed of his Tricks about that Business and withal that you said you would inform the B. which was honest And it never entred into my Thought that you were accessary to the Intrigue I see your Eyes are not yet Cured Prejudice is powerful Again I had said P. 18. Lev. The B. of C. would never have connived at W. C. if he had known such things of him c. much less collated him Here you catch me for it seems he was not Collated Now I 'll easily confess my Ignorance and Mistake For he being in the Place near two Years I thought it rational to believe he was Collated however the other word Connived you acknowledge And if W. C. gave any good Satisfaction or did any Penance proportionable to his Offences committed so little a while before he went thither I am glad of it And being gone you shall hear no more of him from me farther than in my own necessary Vindication But there are some Passages in your Lett. p. 12. you charge on me as an Untruth viz. That I would insinnate a Licence to another Cure viz. N. Chappel Mr. Taylor this is your Untruth I said he was Introduced you say this is notoriously false Pray' Sir what is false Did he not Preach at N. Chappel and some tell me sometimes at Manchester Church But say you Ibid. All that was done was at the Importunity of the Presbyterian Party You here take a Travellers Liberty For the Presbyterians at Newton kept up their distinct Meetings all the time and so did the Presbyterians in Mott Parish and do still to this day And is this like the Presb. Party importuning for him or Grey And then follows a doleful Story of a Vicar c. and I can tell you of another Story Of one that in a Vicar's Church sate Weeping while the Communion-Office was in hand to see the Symbols of Christ's Body broken and his Blood shed tho' he must not eat of that Bread and drink of that Cup because he durst not Kneel And what good Man had not cause to be grieved when he durst not administer to such a Pious Man as I believe he esteemed this to be for fear of Suspension Now I return to your P. 18. and I am accused of bringing in an Argument which you say is Mine not Yours To this I would not willingly misrepresent what you have written nor would I mistake your meaning but I ll tell you what led me so to understand you and if I be mistaken I 'll not persist in it You P. 32. of Sur. Imp. undertook to shew two things 1. That Dugd. was not possessed by the Devil 2. That if he was he found no Benefit at all by those erroneously Religious Offices that they performed for him 1. To the first I expected your Proof and you go over his Tricks c. and at last conclude P. 56. I can find nothing in our Surey-Spark from whence we may conclude him a Demoniack But then to gratify Ministers I will suppose he was so and shew 2. That he found no Benefit by their Prayers c. a very bold Attempt Now how do you shew this First you bring in Dicky as a true Prophet who had said They were not able to perform what they had promised Then you bring in Dugd. the Father saying That after the Ministers had left him he had several Fits Then Walmsley says Notwithstanding M. J. C. and others Preach'd and Pray'd by Ri. his Fits continued as violent as before to the last Fit Upon which you make this Inference P. 57. Doth this look like casting out the Devil Now if this be not your Argument to prove your Assertion I find none viz. To prove That Dick found no Benefit by their Prayers Which was to be Proved So you undertake to shew what you either cannot or will not Again I had said What were those Offices which you call erroneously Religious were they Fasting and Prayers If you exclude Fasting from being Religious Worship Erroneously there is among the Errata Dissenters will not quarrel with you To this you have a witty Reflection P. 19. which I 'll leave to those that are disposed to make merry with your Rhetorick But must tell you Dissenters are not against Fasting to keep under the Body nor as a Help in Religious Worship And methinks this might have passed when many C. of E. will not allow Preaching to be Religious Worship Your next Witticism is If it was conceived in a Barn viz. Prayers it was the fittest Place for them to be begotten in Good Sir is the Worship of God any worse because in a Barn Did not David worship God acceptably on a Barn-Floor 2 Sam. 24. 18 19. Was not a Stable the first place where Christ after his Incarnation was worshipped Again I am here blamed for not having Wit to stop at a Proverb but marr●d it with an Explanation And indeed here you are in the right for if the Explanation had been mine it had been marr'd But I believe E. Johnston your Publisher can assure you and I wonder he did not that presently after he had received the Lev. he had a Note of Errata's one of which was this P. 26. l. 19. After Sands add an absurd Inference vid. Ray's Prov. p. 195. Ibid. dele the four next Lines which were not in the M. S. And who put them there I cannot tell Yet P. 21. I have a Flirt for something in my Lett. P. 27. That I am blind as Tobit I perceive something pleaseth not but you have the Prudence to pass it over and are in haste as well as another of your Friends And for Dr. Chew's Certificate I need not tarry for Dick never had Fit after the first Dose But you say
